A recombinant exo-α-mannosidase from Solitalea canadensis (Sc3Man) has been characterized to exhibit strict specificity for hydrolyzing α1,3-mannosidic linkages located at the non-reducing end of glycans containing α-mannose. Enzymatic characterization revealed that Sc3Man operates optimally at a pH of 5.0 and at a temperature of 37 °C. The enzymatic activity was notably enhanced twofold in the presence of Ca ions, emphasizing its potential dependency on this metal ion, while Cu and Zn ions notably impaired enzyme function. Sc3Man was able to efficiently cleave the terminal α1,3 mannose residue from various high-mannose N-glycan structures and from the model glycoprotein RNase B. This work not only expands the categorical scope of bacterial α-mannosidases, but also offers new insight into the glycan metabolism of S. canadensis, highlighting the enzyme's utility for glycan analysis and potential biotechnological applications.

The biotechnological production of uridine diphosphate-d-xylose (UDP-d-xylose), the glycosyl donor in enzymatic for d-xylose, is an important precursor for advancing glycoengineering research on biopharmaceuticals such as heparin and glycosaminoglycans. Leveraging a recently discovered UDP-xylose salvage pathway, we have engineered a series of bifunctional chimeric biocatalysts derived from galactokinase/uridyltransferase, facilitating the conversion of d-xylose to UDP-d-xylose. This study elucidates the novel assembly of eight fusion protein constructs, differing in domain orientations and linker peptide lengths, to investigate their functional expression in , resulting in the synthesis of the first bifunctional enzyme that orchestrates a direct transformation from d-xylose to UDP-d-xylose.

A two-chambered microbial fuel cell (MFC) was used for the first time for the remediation of an emerging contaminant-1,4-dioxane in its anode chamber. Groundwater historically detected 1,4-dioxane contamination was sampled from a Superfund site. Comparative study was carried out between metabolic (i.
