“…However, recently, the additional α1,3-FucT activity of these typical α1,2-FucTs has received much attention, which results in the production of byproducts during microbial synthesis of 2′-FL, especially difucosyllactose (DFL) . For examples, E. coli WbgL-based engineered strains produced DFL and/or 3-fucosyllactose (3-FL) as the minor products during 2′-FL synthesis, , and H. pylori FucT2 also produced DFL as a minor product in both engineered E. coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae . However, B. fragilis WcfB interestingly did not produce DFL during 2′-FL synthesis, but its 2′-FL synthesis ability was relatively low, with the titer of 15.4 g/L in a fed-batch cultivation .…”
