Abstract
In this study, some novel plasmids have been constructed for flexible and zero-background molecular cloning, more efficient expression, and purification of proteins with improved strategies. The plasmids pANY4-pL18-ccdB and pANY4-pR18/pL18-ccdB have different promoters in the complementary DNA strands. Therefore, recombinant plasmids for either isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactoside-induced or temperature-induced protein expression could be simultaneously constructed in a single molecular cloning process for parallel comparison. Intriguingly, the mutated pL18 and pR18/pL18 promoters performed similar to or even better than the T7 promoter when used for promoting the expression of the GFP or pfLamA enzyme. Moreover, the plasmid pANY8 containing the His-elastin-like polypeptide (ELP)-intein multifunctional tag was constructed, and special purification protocol was designed to obtain purified proteins without the requirement of time-consuming dialysis steps to remove imidazole and high concentration of salt ions. Additionally, the urea-based denaturation and refolding processes can be conveniently integrated into the ELP-mediated precipitation protocol for purification of insoluble inclusion bodies, omitting the time-consuming dialysis steps.

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). The DTE-CM on D-fructose was found to be remarkably influenced and modulated by the type of metal ions (co-factors). The 50°C from 0.5 to 3.5 h at a concentration of 0.1 mM. The enzyme exhibited its maximum catalytic activity on D-fructose at pH 6.0 and 50°C from 0.5 to 3.5 h at a concentration of 0.1 mM. The enzyme exhibited its maximum catalytic activity on -fructose at pH 6.0 and 50°C with a K cat /K m value of 45 mM-1min-1. The 500 g/L D-fructose, which corresponded to 30% conversion rate. With these interesting catalytic properties, this enzyme could be a promising candidate for industrial biocatalytic applications.

Abstract
Background Enzymatic quantification of creatinine has become an essential method for clinical evaluation of renal function. Although creatinase (CR) is frequently used for this purpose, its poor thermostability severely limits industrial applications. Herein, we report a novel creatinase from Alcaligenes faecalis (afCR) with higher catalytic activity and lower KM value, than currently used creatinases. Furthermore, we developed a non-biased phylogenetic consensus method to improve the thermostability of afCR. Results We applied a non-biased phylogenetic consensus method to identify 59 candidate consensus residues from 24 creatinase family homologs for screening afCR mutants with improved thermostability. Twenty-one amino acids of afCR were selected to mutagenesis and 11 of them exhibited improved thermostability compared to the parent enzyme (afCR-M0). Combination of single-site mutations in sequential screens resulted in a quadruple mutant D17V/T199S/L6P/T251C (M4-2) which showed ~ 1700-fold enhanced half-life at 57 °C and a 4.2 °C higher T5015 than that of afCR-M0. The mutant retained catalytic activity equivalent to afCR-M0, and thus showed strong promise for application in creatinine detection. Structural homology modeling revealed a wide range of potential molecular interactions associated with individual mutations that contributed to improving afCR thermostability. Conclusions Results of this study clearly demonstrated that the non-biased-phylogenetic consensus design for improvement of thermostability in afCR is effective and promising in improving the thermostability of more enzymes.

Two-stage biosynthesis of D-tagatose from milk whey powder by an engineered Escherichia coli strain expressing L-arabinose isomerase from Lactobacillus plantarum. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2020; 305:123010.

Abstract
In this study, a new strain of Lactobacillus plantarum (CY.6) was identified and its L-arabinose isomerase (L-AI) encoding gene (araA) was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 for the biosynthesis of D-tagatose from milk whey powders (WP). Whole-cell biotransformation of lactose in WP into D-tagatose was done by three technological approaches, including 100%, 50% and 0% hydrolysis of lactose in WP before biotransformation, where simultaneous saccharification and biotransformation (SSB, 0% prior hydrolysis of lactose) produced maximum amounts of D-tagatose. Two-stage SSB provided 73.6% conversion efficiency (based on D-galactose) and 36.8% (in term of lactose), with 51.5 g/L of D-tagatose after 96 h, while concentration of D-tagatose produced after first stage was 34.4 g/L. Yield and volumetric productivity of D-tagatose after two-stage SSB were found to be 0.26 g/g of WP (0.37 g/g of lactose, 0.74 g/g of D-galactose produced from lactose) and 0.54 g/L/h, respectively.

Abstract
D-Galactose-specific L-arabinose isomerase (L-AI) would have much potential for the enzymatic conversion of D-Galactose into D-tagatose, while most of the reported L-AIs are L-arabinose specific. This study explored a highly D-Galactose-specific L-AI from Bifidobacterium adolescentis (BAAI) for the production of D-tagatose. In the comparative protein-substrate docking for D-Galactose and L-arabinose, BAAI showed higher numbers of hydrogen bonds in D-Galactose-BAAI bonding site than those found in L-arabinose-BAAI bonding site. The activity of BAAI was 24.47 U/mg, and it showed good stability at temperatures up to 65°C and a pH range 6.0–7.5. The Km, Vmax, and Kcat/Km of BAAI were found to be 22.4 mM, 489 U/mg and 9.3 mM–1 min–1, respectively for D-Galactose, while the respective values for L-arabinose were 40.2 mM, 275.1 U/mg, and 8.6 mM–1 min–1. Enzymatic conversion of D-Galactose into D-tagatose by BAAI showed 56.7% conversion efficiency at 55°C and pH 6.5 after 10 h.
