Abstract
D-Allulose 3-epimerase (DAE) is a vital biocatalyst for the industrial synthesis of D-allulose, an ultra-low calorie rare sugar. However, limited thermostability of DAEs hinders their use at high-temperature production. In this research, hyperthermophilic TI-DAE (Tm = 98.4 ± 0.7 ℃) from Thermotoga sp. was identified via in silico screening. A comparative study of the structure and function of site-directed saturation mutagenesis mutants pinpointed the residue I100 as pivotal in maintaining the high-temperature activity and thermostability of TI-DAE. Employing TI-DAE as a biocatalyst, D-allulose was produced from D-fructose with a conversion rate of 32.5%. Moreover, TI-DAE demonstrated excellent catalytic synergy with glucose isomerase CAGI, enabling the one-step conversion of D-glucose to D-allulose with a conversion rate of 21.6%. This study offers a promising resource for the enzyme engineering of DAEs and a high-performance biocatalyst for industrial D-allulose production.

Abstract
D-allose, a C-3 epimer of D-glucose and an aldose-ketose isomer of D-allulose, exhibits 80% of sucrose's sweetness while being remarkably low in calories and nontoxic, making it an appealing sucrose substitute. Its diverse physiological functions, particularly potent anticancer and antitumor effects, render it a promising candidate for clinical treatment, garnering sustained attention. However, its limited availability in natural sources and the challenges associated with chemical synthesis necessitate exploring biosynthetic strategies to enhance production. This overview encapsulates recent advancements in D-allose's physicochemical properties, physiological functions, applications, and biosynthesis. It also briefly discusses the crucial role of understanding aldoketose isomerase structure and optimizing its performance in D-allose synthesis. Furthermore, it delves into the challenges and future perspectives in D-allose bioproduction. Early efforts focused on identifying and characterizing enzymes responsible for D-allose production, followed by detailed crystal structure analysis to improve performance through molecular modification. Strategies such as enzyme immobilization and implementing multi-enzyme cascade reactions, utilizing more cost-effective feedstocks, were explored. Despite progress, challenges remain, including the lack of efficient high-throughput screening methods for enzyme modification, the need for food-grade expression systems, the establishment of ordered substrate channels in multi-enzyme cascade reactions, and the development of downstream separation and purification processes.

Abstract
D-Allulose is a high value rare sugar with multiple physiological functions and commercial potential that can be enzymatically synthesized from D-fructose by D-allulose 3-epimerase (DAEase). Poor catalytic activity and thermostability of DAEase prevent the industrial production of D-allulose. In this work, rational design was applied to a previously identified DAEase from Clostridium bolteae ATCC BAA-613 based on the "back to consensus mutations" hypothesis, and the catalytic activity of the Cb-I265 V variant was enhanced 2.5-fold. Furthermore, the Cb-I265 V/E268D double-site variant displayed 2.0-fold higher specific catalytic activity and 1.4-fold higher thermostability than the wild-type enzyme. Molecular docking and kinetic simulation results indicated increased hydrogen bonds between the active pocket and substrate, possibly contributing to the improved thermal stability and catalytic activity of the double-site mutant. The findings outlined a feasible approach for the rational design of multiple preset functions of target enzymes simultaneously.

Abstract
d-Allulose is a low-calorie functional rare sugar with excellent processing suitability and unique physiological efficacy. d-Allulose is primarily produced from d-fructose through enzymatic epimerization, facing the constraints of a low conversion yield and high production cost. In this study, a double-enzyme cascade system with tetraborate-assisted isomerization was constructed for the efficient production of d-allulose from inexpensive d-glucose. With the introduction of sodium tetraborate (STB), capable of forming complexes with diol-bearing sugars, the conversion yield of d-allulose from d-glucose substantially escalated from the initial 17.37% to 44.97%. Furthermore, d-allulose was found to exhibit the most pronounced binding affinity for STB with an association constant of 1980.51 M-1, notably surpassing that of d-fructose (183.31 M-1) and d-glucose (35.37 M-1). Additionally, the structural analysis of the sugar-STB complexes demonstrated that d-allulose reacted with STB via the cis 2,3-hydroxyl groups in the α-furanose form. Finally, the mechanism underlying STB-assisted isomerization was proposed, emphasizing the preferential formation of an allulose-STB complex that effectively shifts the isomerization equilibrium to the allulose side, thereby resulting in high yield of d-allulose. Such an STB-facilitated isomerization system would also provide a guidance for the cost-effective synthesis of other rare sugars.

Abstract
D-Allulose, a functional sweetener, can be synthesized from fructose using D-allulose 3-epimerase (DAEase). Nevertheless, a majority of the reported DAEases have inadequate stability under harsh industrial reaction conditions, which greatly limits their practical applications. In this study, big data mining combined with a computer-guided free energy calculation strategy was employed to discover a novel DAEase with excellent thermostability. Consensus sequence analysis of flexible regions and comparison of binding energies after substrate docking were performed using phylogeny-guided big data analyses. TtDAE from Thermogutta terrifontis was the most thermostable among 358 candidate enzymes, with a half-life of 32 h at 70 °C. Subsequently, structure-guided virtual screening and a customized strategy based on a combinatorial active-site saturation test/iterative saturation mutagenesis were utilized to engineer TtDAE. Finally, the catalytic activity of the M4 variant (P105A/L14C/T63G/I65A) was increased by 5.12-fold. Steered molecular dynamics simulations indicated that M4 had an enlarged substrate-binding pocket, which enhanced the fit between the enzyme and the substrate. The approach presented here, combining DAEases mining with further rational modification, provides guidance for obtaining promising catalysts for industrial-scale production.

Abstract
At present, with the continuous improvement of living standards, people are paying increasing attention to dietary nutrition and health. Low sugar and low energy consumption have become important dietary trends. In terms of sugar control, more and more countries have implemented sugar taxes in recent years. Hence, as the substitute for sugar, low-calorie sweeteners have been widely used in beverage, bakery, and confectionary industries. In general, low-calorie sweeteners consist of high-intensity and low-calorie bulk sweeteners (some rare sugars and sugar alcohols). In this review, recent advances and challenges in low-calorie bulk sweeteners are explored. Bioproduction of low-calorie bulk sweeteners has become the focus of many researches, because it has the potential to replace the current industrial scale production through chemical synthesis. A comprehensive summary of the physicochemical properties, physiological functions, applications, bioproduction, and regulation of typical low-calorie bulk sweeteners, such as D-allulose, D-tagatose, D-mannitol, sorbitol, and erythritol, is provided.

Abstract
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-1 d-allulose was produced from 500 g L-1 d-fructose in 45 min with a conversion rate of 30% and high productivity of 200 g L-1 h-1 . 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-1 . CONCLUSION This research described a very beneficial and facile approach for d-allulose production based on C. insecticola DAEase. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
d-Allulose, a rare sugar and functional sweetener, can be biosynthesized by d-allulose 3-isomerase (DAE). However, most of the reported DAEs exhibit poor resistance under acidic conditions, which severely limited their application. Here, surface charge engineering and random mutagenesis were used to construct a mutant library of CcDAE from Clostridium cellulolyticum H10, combined with high-throughput screening to identify mutants with high activity and resistance under acidic conditions. The mutant M3 (I114R/K123E/H209R) exhibited high activity (3.36-fold of wild-type) and acid resistance (10.6-fold of wild-type) at pH 4.5. The structure-function relationship was further analyzed by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, which indicated that M3 had a higher number of hydrogen bonds and negative surface charges than the wild type. A multienzyme cascade system including M3 was used to convert high-calorie sugars in acidic juices, and functional juices containing 7.8-15.4 g/L d-allulose were obtained. Our study broadens the manufacture of functional foods containing d-allulose.

Abstract
d-Allulose is a desirable sucrose substitute with potential applications in food and health care. d-Allulose can be synthesized using d-glucose as a substrate through coupling glucose isomerase with d-allulose 3-epimerase (DAEase); however, the product yield is typically less than 20% at reaction equilibrium and thus limits its use in industrial applications. Here, a 3R-ketose phosphorylation pathway coupled with an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) regeneration system was developed for the efficient synthesis of d-allulose in Escherichia coli using d-glucose as a substrate. The l-rhamnulose kinase (RhaB) was used to break the inherent reaction equilibrium due to its substrate specificity, resulting in increases in d-allulose titer by 69.9% to 4.96 ± 0.49 g/L. By optimizing the whole cell transformation conditions and designing an ATP regeneration module, d-allulose production reached 17.62 ± 0.77 g/L from 30 g/L d-glucose with a final yield of 0.73 g/g without the addition of exogenous ATP. To evaluate the potential industrial application of this multienzyme cascade system, d-allulose was produced from cane molasses (124.16 ± 2.69 g/L glucose equivalent) with a final d-allulose titer of 62.60 ± 3.76 g/L. The present study provides a practical enzymatic approach for the economical synthesis of d-allulose.

Currently, the demand for low-calorie sweeteners has grown dramatically because consumers are more mindful of their health than they used to be. Therefore, bioproduction of low-calorie sweeteners from low-cost raw materials becomes a hot spot. In this study, a two-stage strategy was established to efficiently utilize D-fructose from fruit and vegetable wastes. Firstly, ketose 3-epimerase was used to produce D-allulose from D-fructose of pear peels. Secondly, the residual D-fructose was converted to D-mannitol by the engineered strain co-expression of D-mannitol 2-dehydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase. Approximately 29.4% D-fructose of pear peels was converted to D-allulose. Subsequently, under optimal conditions (35 °C, pH 6.5, 1 mM Mn2+, 2 g/L dry cells), almost all the residual D-fructose was transformed into D-mannitol with a 93.5% conversion rate. Eventually, from 1 kg fresh pear peel, it could produce 10.8 g of D-allulose and 24.6 g of D-mannitol. This bioprocess strategy provides a vital method to biosynthesize high-value functional sugars from low-cost biomass.

Abstract
D-Allulose, as low-calorie rare sugar, possessed several notable biological activities and was biosynthesized by D-allulose 3-epimerase (DAEase). Here, CcDAE from Clostridium cellulolyticum was successfully immobilization via covalent attachment (RI-CcDAE), and Resin-SpyCatcher/SpyTag-CcDAE modular (DI-CcDAE). Both immobilized CcDAEs exhibited higher thermal and pH stabilities than the free form, and they maintained 80.0 % of relative activity after 7 consecutive cycles and 25 days of storage. Predominantly, DI-CcDAE represented superior catalytic efficiency with a 2.4-fold increase of kcat/Km, compared with RI-CcDAE (0.75 s-1 mM-1 vs 0.31 s-1 mM-1). The RI-CcDAE and DI-CcDAE were then applied in mixed fruit Jiaosu to convert D-fructose into D-allulose, which exhibited the productivity of D-allulose 1.08 g/Lh-1 and 1.57 g/Lh-1, respectively. This research provided a promising directional immobilization strategy for DAEase, and robust biocatalyst for production of functional foodstuff containing D-allulose.

Abstract
Sucrose isomerase (SI), catalyzing sucrose to isomaltulose, has been widely used in isomaltulose production, but its poor thermostability is still resisted in sustainable batches production. Here, protein engineering and one-step immobilized cell strategy were simultaneously coupled to maintain steady state for long-term operational stabilities. First, rational design of Pantoea dispersa SI (PdSI) for improving its thermostability by predicting and substituting the unstable amino acid residues was investigated using computational analysis. After screening mutagenesis library, two single mutants (PdSIV280L and PdSIS499F) displayed favorable characteristics on thermostability, and further study found that the double mutant PdSIV280L/S499F could stabilize PdSIWT better. Compared with PdSIWT, PdSIV280L/S499F displayed a 3.2°C-higher T m , and showed a ninefold prolonged half-life at 45°C. Subsequently, a one-step simplified immobilization method was developed for encapsulation of PdSIV280L/S499F in food-grade Corynebacterium glutamicum cells to further enhance the recyclability of isomaltulose production. Recombinant cells expressing combinatorial mutant (RCSI2) were successfully immobilized in 2.5% sodium alginate without prior permeabilization. The immobilized RCSI2 showed that the maximum yield of isomaltulose by batch conversion reached to 453.0 g/L isomaltulose with a productivity of 41.2 g/l/h from 500.0 g/L sucrose solution, and the conversion rate remained 83.2% after 26 repeated batches.

Abstract
Naturally, haloacid dehalogenase superfamily phosphatases have been evolved with broad substrate promiscuity; however, strong specificity to a particular substrate is required for developing thermodynamically driven routes for manufacturing sugars. How to alter the intrinsic substrate promiscuity of phosphatases and fit the “one enzyme-one substrate” model remains a challenge. Herein, we report the structure-guided engineering of a phosphatase, and successfully provide variants with tailor-made preference for three widespread phosphorylated sugars, namely, glucose 6-phosphate, fructose 6-phosphate, and mannose 6-phosphate, while simultaneously enhancement in catalytic efficiency. A 12000-fold switch from unfavorite substrate to dedicated one is generated. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal the origin of improved activity and substrate specificity. Furthermore, we develop four coordinated multienzyme systems and accomplish the conversion of inexpensive sucrose and starch to fructose and mannose in excellent yield of 94–96%. This innovative sugar-biosynthesis strategy overcomes the reaction equilibrium of isomerization and provides the promise of high-yield manufacturing of other monosaccharides and polyols. Haloacid dehalogenase-like phosphatases are widespread across all domains of life and play a crucial role in the regulation of levels of sugar phosphate metabolites in cells. The authors report on the structure-guided engineering of phosphatases for dedicated substrate specificity for the conversion of sucrose and starch into fructose and mannose.

Abstract
D-Allulose, a generally regarded as safe (GRAS) sugar, is rare in nature. It is among the most promising sweeteners for future use due to its low caloric content, sucrose-like taste, and unique functions. D-Allulose has many physiological effects, such as antiobesity, antihyperglycemia, antidiabetes, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects. Therefore, D-allulose has important application value in the food, pharmaceutical, and healthcare industries. However, the high cost of D-allulose production limits its large-scale application. Currently, biotransformation is very attractive for D-allulose synthesis, with the two main methods of biosynthesis being the Izumoring strategy and the DHAP-dependent aldolase strategy. This article reviews recent advances regarding the physiological functions and biosynthesis of D-allulose. In addition, future perspectives on the production of D-allulose are presented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND D-allulose, a hexulose monosaccharide with low calorie content and high sweetness, is commonly used as a functional sugar in food and nutrition. However, enzyme preparation of D-allulose from D-frutose was severely hindered by the non-enzymatic browning under alkaline and high-temperature, and the unnecessary by-products further increased the difficulties in separation and extraction for industrial applications. Here, to address the above issue during the production process, a tandem D-allulose 3-epimerase (DPEases) isomerase synergistic expression strategy and an auto-inducible promoter engineering were levered in Bacillus subtilis 168 (Bs168) for efficient synthesis of D-allulose under the acidic conditions without browning. RESULTS First, based on the dicistron expression system, two DPEases with complementary functional characteristics from Dorea sp. CAG:317 (DSdpe) and Clostridium cellulolyticum H10 (RCdpe) were expressed in tandem under the promoter HpaII in one cell. A better potential strain Bs168/pMA5-DSdpe-RCdpe increases enzyme activity to 18.9 U/mL at acidic conditions (pH 6.5), much higher than 17.2 and 16.7 U/mL of Bs168/pMA5-DSdpe and Bs168/pMA5-RCdpe, respectively. Subsequently, six recombinant strains based on four constitutive promoters were constructed in variable expression cassettes for improving the expression level of protein. Among those engineered strains, Bs168/pMA5-PspoVG-DSdpe-PsrfA-RCdpe exhibited the highest enzyme activity with 480.1 U/mL on fed-batch fermentation process in a 5 L fermenter at pH 6.5, about 2.1-times higher than the 228.5 U/mL of flask fermentation. Finally, the maximum yield of D-allulose reached as high as 163.5 g/L at the fructose concentration (50% w/v) by whole-cell biocatalyst. CONCLUSION In this work, the engineered recombinant strain Bs168/pMA5-PspoVG-DSdpe-PsrfA-RCdpe was demonstrated as an effective microbial cell factory for the high-efficient synthesis of D-allulose without browning under acidic conditions. Based on the perspectives from this research, this strategy presented here also made it possible to meet the requirements of the industrial hyper-production of other rare sugars under more acidic conditions in theory.

Abstract
d-Allulose 3-epimerase (DAEase) is a key enzyme in d-allulose bioproduction. DAEase from Thermoclostridium caenicola suffers from poor thermostability, hampering its large-scale applications in industry. In this study, mutants A70P, G107P, F155Y, and D162T with increased melting point temperature (Tm) were obtained by targeted mutagenesis based on the calculation of the free energy of folding. The optimal single-point mutant G107P showed 11.08 h, 5, and 5.70 °C increases in the values of half-life (t1/2) at 60 °C, the optimum temperature (Topt), and Tm, respectively. Beneficial mutations were combined by ordered recombination mutagenesis, and the combinational mutant Var3 (G107P/F155Y/D162T/A70P) was generated with ΔTopt of 10 °C and ΔTm of 12.25 °C. Its t1/2 value at 65 °C was more than 140 times higher than that of the wild-type enzyme. Molecular dynamics simulations and homology modeling analysis indicated that the enhanced overall rigidity, increased hydrogen bonds between subunits, and redistributed surface electrostatic charges might be responsible for the improved thermostability of the mutant Var3.

Abstract
D-Allulose is the C-3 epimer of D-fructose, and widely regarded as a promising substitute for sucrose. It's an excellent low-calorie sweetener, with 70% sweetness of sucrose, 0.4 kcal/g dietary energy, and special physiological functions. It has been approved as GRAS by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and is allowed to be excluded from total and added sugar counts on the food labels. Therefore, D-allulose gradually attracts more public attention. Owing to scarcity in nature, the bioproduction of D-allulose by using ketose 3-epimerase (KEase) has become the research hotspot. Herein, we give a summary of the physicochemical properties, physiological function, applications, and the chemical and biochemical synthesis methods of D-allulose. In addition, the recent progress in the D-allulose bioproduction using KEases, and the possible solutions for existing challenges in the D-allulose industrial production are comprehensively discussed, focusing on the molecular modification, immobilization, food-grade expression, utilizing low-cost biomass as feedstock, overcoming thermodynamic limitation, as well as the downstream separation and purification. Finally, Prospects for further development are also proposed.

Abstract
Currently, low sugar and low energy have become an important trend in the food industries. Therefore, the bioconversion of the functional low-calorie rare sugars attracts more and more attention. l-Ribulose 3-epimerase (LREase) belongs to the ketose 3-epimerase (KEase) family, which could not only efficiently catalyze the reversible C-3 epimerization between l-ribulose and l-xylulose but also between d-fructose and d-allulose. In this paper, a hyperthermostable LREase from Labedella endophytica was identified and characterized. It exhibited maximum catalytic activity at pH 6.0 and 80 °C with 1 mM Ni2+. In the presence of Co2+, the t1/2 values at 60, 65, and 70 °C were 37.7, 9.0, and 4.6 h, respectively, and Tm value was 80.9 °C. From 500 g/L d-fructose, it could produce 154.2 g/L d-allulose with a conversion rate of 30.8% in 10 h. In view of its strong thermostability and high catalytic efficiency, L. endophytica LREase might be a good potential alternative for d-allulose industrial production.

Abstract
D-allulose is the C-3 epimer of D-fructose, which rarely exists in nature, and can be biosynthesized from D-fructose by the catalysis of D-psicose 3-epimerase. D-allulose is safe for human consumption and was recently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for food applications.

Abstract
d-Allulose, a low-calorie rare sugar with potential as sucrose substitute for diabetics, can be produced using d-allulose 3-epimerase (DAE). Here, we characterized a putative thermostable DAE from Pirellula sp. SH-Sr6A (PsDAE), with a half-life of 6 h at 60 °C. Bioconversion of 500 g/L d-fructose using immobilized PsDAE on epoxy support yielded 152.7 g/L d-allulose, which maintained 80% of the initial activity after 11 reuse cycles. A multienzyme cascade system was developed to convert sucrose to d-allulose comprising sucrose invertase, d-glucose isomerase and PsDAE. Fruit juices were treated using this system to convert the high-calorie sugars, such as sucrose, d-glucose, and d-fructose, into d-allulose. The content of d-allulose among total monosaccharides in the treated fruit juice remained between 16 and 19% during 15 reaction cycles. This study provides an efficient strategy for the development of functional fruit juices containing d-allulose for diabetics and other special consumer categories.

Abstract
In recent years, with the increasing public health awareness, low-calorie rare sugars have received more attention on a global scale. D-Allulose, the C-3 epimer of D-fructose, is a representative rare sugar. It displays high sweetness and excellent physiological functions, but only provides a caloric value of 0.4 kcal/g. D-Allulose 3-epimerase (DAEase) is indispensable in D-allulose production. In this study, a putative DAEase from Thermoclostridium caenicola was identified and characterized. The novel T. caenicola DAEase displayed maximum activity at pH 7.5 and 65 °C in the presence of 1 mM Co2+. The half-life (t1/2) at 50 °C was 13.6 h, and the melting temperature (Tm) was 62.4 °C. It was strictly metal-dependent, and the addition of Co2+ remarkably enhanced its thermostability, with a 5.4-fold increase in t1/2 value at 55 °C and 4.8 °C increase in Tm. Furthermore, DAEase displayed high relative activity (89.0%) at a weakly acidic pH 6.5 and produced 139.8 g/L D-allulose from 500 g/L D-fructose, achieving a conversion ratio of 28.0%. These findings suggest that T. caenicola DAEase is a promising biocatalyst for the production of D-allulose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND D-Allulose is an ultra-low calorie sugar of multifarious health benefits, including anti-diabetic and anti-obesity potential. D-Allulose 3-epimerase family enzymes catalyze biosynthesis of D-allulose via epimerization of D-fructose. RESULTS A novel D-allulose 3-epimerase (DaeB) was cloned from a plant probiotic strain, Bacillus sp. KCTC 13219, and expressed in Bacillus subtilis cells. The purified protein exhibited substantial epimerization activity in a broad pH spectrum, 6.0-11.0. DaeB was able to catalyze D-fructose to D-allulose bioconversion at the temperature range of 35 °C to 70 °C, exhibiting at least 50 % activity. It displaced excessive heat stability, with the half-life of 25 days at 50 °C, and high turnover number (kcat 367 s- 1). The coupling of DaeB treatment and yeast fermentation of 700 g L- 1 D-fructose solution yielded approximately 200 g L- 1 D-allulose, and 214 g L- 1 ethanol. CONCLUSIONS The novel D-allulose 3-epimerase of Bacillus sp. origin discerned a high magnitude of heat stability along with exorbitant epimerization ability. This biocatalyst has enormous potential for the large-scale production of D-allulose.

Abstract
D-allulose, which is one of the important rare sugars, has gained significant attention in the food and pharmaceutical industries as a potential alternative to sucrose and fructose. Enzymes belonging to the D-tagatose 3-epimerase (DTEase) family can reversibly catalyze the epimerization of D-fructose at the C3 position and convert it into D-allulose by a good number of naturally occurring microorganisms. However, microbial synthesis of D-allulose is still at its immature stage in the industrial arena, mostly due to the preference of slightly acidic conditions for Izumoring reactions. Discovery of novel DTEase that works at acidic conditions is highly preferred for industrial applications. In this study, a novel DTEase, DTE-CM, capable of catalyzing D-fructose into D-allulose was applications. In this study, a novel DTEase, DTE-CM, capable of catalyzing D-fructose into D-allulose was DTE-CM on D-fructose was found to be remarkably influenced and modulated by the type of metal ions (co-factors).

Abstract
Starch/cellulose has become the major feedstock for manufacturing biofuels and biochemicals because of their abundance and sustainability. In this study, we presented an artificially designed "starch-mannose-fermentation" biotransformation process through coupling the advantages of in vivo and in vitro metabolic engineering strategies together. Starch was initially converted into mannose via an in vitro metabolic engineering biosystem, and then mannose was fermented by engineered microorganisms for biomanufacturing valuable mannosyl compounds. The in vitro metabolic engineering biosystem based on phosphorylation/dephosphorylation reactions was thermodynamically favorable and the conversion rate reached 81%. The mannose production using whole-cell biocatalysts reached 75.4 g/L in a 30-L reactor, indicating the potential industrial application. Furthermore, the produced mannose in the reactor was directly served as feedstock for the fermentation process to bottom-up produced 19.2 g/L mannosyl-oligosaccharides (MOS) and 7.2 g/L mannosylglycerate (MG) using recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum strains. Notably, such a mannose fermentation process facilitated the synthesis of MOS, which has not been achieved under glucose fermentation and improved MG production by 2.6-fold than that using the same C-mole of glucose. This approach also allowed access to produce other kinds of mannosyl derivatives from starch.

Abstract
A novel d-allulose 3-epimerase gene (daeM) has been identified from the metagenomic resource of a hot-water reservoir. The enzyme epimerizes d-fructose into d-allulose, a functional sugar of rare abundance in nature. The metagenomic DNA fragment was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli The purified recombinant protein (DaeM) was found to be metal dependent (Co2+ or Mn2+). It displayed the maximal levels of catalytic activity in a pH range of 6 to 11 and a temperature range of 75°C to 80°C. The enzyme exhibited remarkably high thermal stability at 60°C and 70°C, with half-life values of 9,900 and 3,240 min, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest thermal stability demonstrated by a d-allulose 3-epimerase that has been characterized to date. The enzymatic treatment of 700 mg·ml-1 d-fructose yielded about 217 mg·ml-1 d-allulose, under optimal condition. The catalytic product was purified, and its nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were found to be indistinguishable from those of standard d-allulose. For biomolecule production, the whole-cell catalysis procedure avoids the tedious process of extraction and purification of enzyme and also offers better biocatalyst stability. Further, it is desirable to employ safe-grade microorganisms for the biosynthesis of a product. The daeM gene was expressed intracellularly in Bacillus subtilis A whole-cell catalysis reaction performed with a reaction volume of 1 liter at 60°C yielded approximately 196 g·liter-1 d-allulose from 700 g·liter-1 d-fructose. Further, the whole recombinant cells were able to biosynthesize d-allulose in apple juice, mixed fruit juice, and honey.IMPORTANCE d-Allulose is a noncaloric sugar substitute with antidiabetes and antiobesity potential. With several characteristics of physiological significance, d-allulose has wide-ranging applications in the food and pharmacology industries. The development of a thermostable biocatalyst is an objective of mainstream research aimed at achieving industrial acceptability of the enzyme. Aquatic habitats of extreme temperatures are considered a potential metagenomic resource of heat-tolerant biocatalysts of industrial importance. The present study explored the thermal-spring metagenome of the Tattapani geothermal region, Chhattisgarh, India, discovering a novel d-allulose 3-epimerase gene, daeM, encoding an enzyme of high-level heat stability. The daeM gene was expressed in the microbial cells of a nonpathogenic and safe-grade species, B. subtilis, which was found to be capable of performing d-fructose to d-allulose interconversion via a whole-cell catalysis reaction. The results indicate that DaeM is a potential biocatalyst for commercial production of the rare sugar d-allulose. The study established that extreme environmental niches represent a genomic resource of functional sugar-related biocatalysts.

Abstract
Rare sugar D-allulose as a substitute sweetener is produced through the isomerization of D-fructose by D-tagatose 3-epimerases (DTEases) or D-allulose 3-epimerases (DAEases). D-Allulose is a kind of low energy monosaccharide sugar naturally existing in some fruits in very small quantities. D-Allulose not only possesses high value as a food ingredient and dietary supplement, but also exhibits a variety of physiological functions serving as improving insulin resistance, antioxidant enhancement, and hypoglycemic controls, and so forth. Thus, D-allulose has an important development value as an alternative to high-energy sugars. This review provided a systematic analysis of D-allulose characters, application, enzymatic characteristics and molecular modification, engineered strain construction, and processing technologies. The existing problems and its proposed solutions for D-allulose production are also discussed. More importantly, a green and recycling process technology for D-allulose production is proposed for low waste formation, low energy consumption, and high sugar yield.

Abstract
d-Allulose is a promising low-calorie sweetener especially for diabetes and obesity patients. The functionalized polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) nano-beads decorated with d-tagatose 3-epimerase (DTE) was produced in recombinant endotoxin-free ClearColi, whereby the expression, purification, and immobilization of the active DTE were efficiently combined into one step. The immobilized DTE exhibited remarkable enzyme activity of 649.3 U/g beads and extremely high stability at a harsh working condition (pH 7.0-8.0, 65 °C). When DTE-PHA beads were subjected to enzymatic synthesis of d-allulose, a maximum conversion rate of 33% can be achieved at pH 7.0 and 65 °C for 3 h, and DTE-PHA beads retained about 80% of its initial activity after 8 continuous cycles. Moreover, the d-allulose/d-fructose binary mixture can be simply separated by a single cation exchange resin-equipped chromatography. Taken together, DTE-PHA beads are promising and robust nano-biocatalysts that will remarkably simplify the production procedures of d-allulose, contributing to its cost-effective production.

Abstract
Recently, rare sugars have caused extensively attention due to their beneficial physiological functions and potential applications in food systems and medical fields. Ketose 3-epimerase (KEase) can catalyze reversibly the epimerization between ketoses which is the pivotal enzyme in Izumoring strategy and an effective tool for biological production of rare sugars. In this work, a KEase from Caballeronia fortuita was recombined and characterized as a d-tagatose 3-epimerase (DTEase, EC 5.1.3.31). The recombinant DTEase displayed the highest activity at pH7.5 and 65°C in the presence of Co2+. The recombinant DTEase displayed the relatively high thermostability and the half-life (t1/2) was determined to be 7.13, 5.13, and 1.05h at 50, 55, and 60°C, respectively. The recombinant DTEase had a wide substrate specificity and the specific activities towards d-tagatose, d-allulose, d-fructose and l-sorbose were measured to be 801±2.3, 450±2.7, 270±1.5 and 55±1.8Umg-1, respectively. So far, the recombinant DTEase exhibited the highest specific activity towards d-tagatose compared with other reported KEases. Furthermore, the recombinant DTEase could produce 314.2g/L d-sorbose from 500g/L d-tagatose and 147.0g/L d-allulose from 500g/L d-fructose, with a transformation ratio of 68.2% and 29.4%, respectively. The recombinant DTEase could realize effectively the transformations between various ketoses and was a prominent candidate for production of rare sugars.
