Biocatalytic Synthesis of the Rare Sugar Kojibiose: Process Scale-Up and Application Testing

Abstract: Cost-efficient (bio)chemical production processes are essential to evaluate the commercial and industrial applications of promising carbohydrates and also are essential to ensure economically viable production processes. Here, the synthesis of the naturally occurring disaccharide kojibiose (2-O-α-d-glucopyranosyl-d-glucopyranoside) was evaluated using different Bifidobacterium adolescentis sucrose phosphorylase variants. Variant L341I_Q345S was found to efficiently synthesize kojibiose while remaining fully ac… Show more

“…The yeast however utilizes all other sugars present in the reaction (fructose, sucrose, glucose) for growth . Generally, product purification via selective microbial conversion of the accompanying sugars (ideally into biomass, CO 2 and H 2 O) is an effective strategy for the downstream processing of carbohydrate‐based reaction mixtures . The S. cerevisiae conversion are typically performed at carbohydrate concentrations not exceeding 200 g L −1 in total .…”

“…The molecular interactions involved in the proposed complex are not known in detail. However, it suffices to emphasize that the (acceptor) binding pocket of the E-Glc form of BaSucP is wide and flexible (Mirza et al, 2006;Sprogøe et al, 2004) to accommodate a range of bulky acceptors (Dirks-Hofmeister, Verhaeghe, De Winter, & Desmet, 2015;Goedl et al, 2010;Seibel et al, 2006), including glucose in multiple orientations (Beerens et al, 2017;Kraus, Görl, Timm, & Seibel, 2016;Verhaeghe et al, 2016). The kinetic significance of the (E-Glc •• G1P) complex, in terms of the amount formed at steady state and the rate of breakdown, have strong implications on canonical (apparent) enzyme kinetic parameters obtained from standard experiments (e.g., app V X , app K, TC; see Table 1).…”

“…Substrates for GP‐catalysed glycosylations are more readily available, in comparison to those for GT‐catalysed reactions; this makes GPs attractive biocatalysts for carbohydrate syntheses. The use of GP biocatalysts has been demonstrated in academic research, such as in the synthesis of homogeneous crystalline cellulose, self‐assembled structures of alkylated cellulose, cellulose nanoribbons with primary amino groups, and the formation of oligo(ethylene glycol)‐bearing cellulose hydrogels, and more widely at an industrial scale, such as for the synthesis of 2‐ O ‐(α‐ d ‐glucopyranosyl)‐ sn ‐glycerol, a cosmetic ingredient, by sucrose phosphorylase; kilogram‐scale synthesis of lacto‐ N ‐biose, a prebiotic made with lacto‐ N ‐biose phosphorylase; and the synthesis of disaccharide sweetener kojibiose, produced with a sucrose phosphorylase variant from Bifidobacterium adolescentis …”
