The first hyperthermophilic L-arabinose/D-galactose 1-dehydrogenase (TmAraDH) from Thermotoga maritima was heterologously purified from Escherichia coli. It belongs to the Gfo/Idh/MocA protein family, prefers NAD/NADP as a cofactor. The purified TmAraDH exhibited maximum activity toward L-arabinose at 75 °C and pH 8.0, and retained 63.7% of its activity after 24 h at 60 °C, and over 60% of its activity after holding a pH ranging from 7.0 to 9.0 for 1 h. Among all tested substrates, TmAraDH exclusively catalyzed the NAD(P)-dependent oxidation of L-arabinose, D-galactose and D-fucose. The catalytic efficiency (k/K) towards L-arabinose and D-galactose was 123.85, 179.26 min mM for NAD, and 56.06, 18.19 min mM for NADP, respectively. TmAraDH exhibited complete oxidative conversion in 12 h at 70 °C to D-galactonate with 5 mM D-galactose. Modelling provides structural insights into the cofactor and substrate recognition specificity. Our results suggest that TmAraDH have great potential for the conversion of L-arabinose and D-galactose to L-arabonate and D-galactonate.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on optimizing an ultrasound-assisted ionic liquid extraction (UAILE) method to extract polysaccharides from Crataegus songarica fruits, achieving a 34.37% yield under specific conditions.
- The optimal extraction settings include an ultrasonic power of 400 W, a temperature of 79 °C, and a relatively high liquid-solid ratio, making it more effective than traditional extraction methods.
- The extracted polysaccharides, characterized as a heteropolysaccharide with notable antioxidant properties, could have potential applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Dendrobium flexicaule (DF) is an endemic plant primarily found in the mountains of central China with important medicinal and edible values. In traditional Chinese medicine, DF has the effects of nourishing stomach and "Yin", and clearing heat. At present, no studies have explored the mechanisms by which Dendrobium flexicaule polysaccharides (DFP) exert pre-protect effects against alcohol-induced gastric mucosal injury.
