Background: Rare sugars have become promising 'sugar alternatives' because of their low calories and unique physiological functions. Among the family of rare sugars, d-allulose is one of the sugars attracting interest. Ketose 3-epimerases (KEase), including d-tagatose 3-epimerase (DTEase) and d-allulose 3-epimerase (DAEase), are mainly used for d-allulose production.
Results: In this study, a putative xylose isomerase from Caballeronia insecticola was characterized and identified as a novel DAEase. Caballeronia insecticola DAEase displayed prominent enzymatic properties, and 150 g L d-allulose was produced from 500 g L d-fructose in 45 min with a conversion rate of 30% and high productivity of 200 g L h . Furthermore, DAEase was employed in a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cascade reaction, which significantly increased the conversion rate of d-allulose. Under optimized conditions, the conversion rate of d-allulose was approximately 100% when the concentration of d-fructose was 50 mmol L .
Conclusion: This research described a very beneficial and facile approach for d-allulose production based on C. insecticola DAEase. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of symbiosis on the life history of host insects and address their implications at the host population level. We evaluated the effects of symbiotic bacteria Caballeronia insecticola on its host Riptortus pedestris (Fabricus) (Hemiptera: Alydidae) from cohorts for nymphal development, adult survivorship, and female reproduction. Then, life table parameters were compared between symbiotic and apo-symbiotic groups, and the effects of symbiosis on the abundance of R.

Background: D-Allulose is one of the most well-known rare sugars widely used in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. The most popular method for D-allulose production is the conversion from D-fructose catalyzed by D-allulose 3-epimerase (DAEase). To address the general problem of low catalytic efficiency and poor thermostability of wild-type DAEase, D-allulose biosensor was adopted in this study to develop a convenient and efficient method for high-throughput screening of DAEase variants.

Article Synopsis
- The spatial structure of gut microbiota is vital for gut health, yet how these bacterial communities form in different areas remains unclear.
- In insects, the anterior midgut has a diverse bacterial community, while the posterior midgut mostly hosts a single bacterial type that withstands antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) produced in that region.
- Research identifies genetic pathways in these bacteria that help them resist AMPs, indicating that these defenses are essential for survival in the gut and may also play a role in interactions with the host.

We constructed a saturated mariner transposon library and revealed by transposon-sequencing that 498 protein-coding genes constitute the essential genome of for growth in free-living conditions. By comparing essential gene sets of and seven related strains, only 120 common genes were identified, indicating that a large part of the essential genome is strain-specific.

Riptortus pedestris (Hemiptera: Alydidae) establish endosymbiosis with specific bacteria from extremely diverse microbiota in soil. To better understand ecology and evolution of the symbiosis, it is important to characterize bacterial species diversity colonizing R. pedestris and evaluate their symbiotic effects.
