Abstract
NA4/NA6, an intermediate degradation product of β-agarase, is a high value-added product with anticancer, anti-obesity, and anti-diabetic effects. Therefore, a method that enables the efficient production of NA4/NA6 would be useful from economic and medical perspectives. In this study, we aimed to generate a Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) mutant M22-2C43 that produces NA4/NA6 as a final product; this method serves as a more efficient alternative to the enzymatic conversion of β-agarase for the generation of these products. The M22-2C43 strain was generated through two rounds of mutagenesis and screening for increased β-agarase activity and effective production of NA4/NA6. We assembled the complete genomes of two mutants, M22 and M22-2C43, which were identified following a two-round screening. Large and small genetic changes were found in these two mutants, including the loss of two plasmids present in wild-type S. coelicolor A3(2) and chromosome circularization of mutant M22-2C43. These findings suggest that mutant M22-2C43 can produce NA4/NA6 as a degradation product due to functional inactivation of the dagB gene through a point mutation (G474A), ultimately preventing further degradation of NA4/NA6 to NA2. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a microbial strain that can effectively produce NA4/NA6 as the main degradation product of β-agarase, opening the door for the use of this species for the large-scale production of this valuable product.

Abstract
Agarase is of vital significance for functional agaro-oligosaccharides production from algal dived agarose. Especially, the exolytic agarases have the advantage of obtaining agaro-oligosaccharides with a specific degree of polymerization. Herein, we cloned and expressed a novel glycoside hydrolase (GH) 50 family β-agarase OUC-PgJC50 from Photobacterium gaetbulicola. The degradation pattern analysis indicated that OUC-PgJC50 not only showed an exolytic activity with main products of neoagarotetraose from hydrolyzing agarose but also show a hydrolytic activity to transform neoagarotetraose into neoagarobiose. This is the first time that the discovery of a neoagarotetraose-producing exolytic GH50 β-agarase possesses the activity to transform neoagarotetraose into neoagarobiose, which provided new insight into the recognition of the degradation mode of agarases. Molecular docking and sequence alignment analysis further revealed the His654 residue in OUC-PgJC50 may play a vital role in forming a strong force with l-AHG residue at -4 subsite that helps to produce neoagarotetraose from catalyzing agarose. Moreover, the catalytic ability of OUC-PgJC50 toward another agar polysaccharide porphyran was also described that could hydrolyze porphyran into sulfated oligosaccharides, in which the LA6S-d-Gal was the main products. This study is of vital significance for developing the application range of GH50 β-agarases.

Abstract
Neoagarobiose (NA2) derived from agar marine biomass is a rare reagent that acts as an anti-melanogenesis reagent and moisturizer. Here, for the economical manufacturing of NA2, we developed the co-secretory production system of endo-type β-agarases (DagA) and exo-type β-agarases (EXB3) in Corynebacterium glutamicum. For this purpose, we first developed a secretory system of DagA via Tat pathway. To improve the secretion efficiency, we coexpressed two Tat pathway components (TatA and TatC), and to improve the purity of secreted DagA in the culture supernatant, two endogenous protein genes (Cg2052 and Cg1514) were removed. Using the engineered strain (C. glutamicum SP002), we confirmed that DagA as high as 1.53 g l-1 was successfully produced in the culture media with high purity (72.7% in the supernatant protein fraction). Next, we constructed the expression system (pHCP-CgR-DagA-EXB3) for the simultaneous secretion of EXB3 via Sec-pathway together with DagA, and it was clearly confirmed that DagA and EXB3 were successfully secreted as high as 54% and 24.5%, respectively. Finally, using culture medium containing DagA and EXB3, we successfully demonstrated the conversion of high-concentration agar (40 g l-1 ) into NA2 via a two-stage hydrolysis process.

Abstract
Red algae are important renewable bioresources with very large annual outputs. Agarose is the major carbohydrate component of many red algae and has potential to be of value in the production of agaro-oligosaccharides, biofuels and other chemicals. In this review, we summarize the degradation pathway of agarose, which includes an upstream part involving transformation of agarose into its two monomers, D-galactose (D-Gal) and 3,6-anhydro-α-L-galactose (L-AHG), and a downstream part involving monosaccharide degradation pathways. The upstream part involves agarolytic enzymes such as α-agarase, β-agarase, α-neoagarobiose hydrolase, and agarolytic β-galactosidase. The downstream part includes the degradation pathways of D-Gal and L-AHG. In addition, the production of functional agaro-oligosaccharides such as neoagarobiose and monosaccharides such as L-AHG with different agarolytic enzymes is reviewed. Third, techniques for the setup, regulation and optimization of agarose degradation to increase utilization efficiency of agarose are summarized. Although heterologous construction of the whole agarose degradation pathway in an engineered strain has not been reported, biotechnologies applied to improve D-Gal utilization efficiency and construct L-AHG catalytic routes are reviewed. Finally, critical aspects that may aid in the construction of engineered microorganisms that can fully utilize agarose to produce agaro-oligosaccharides or as carbon sources for production of biofuels or other value-adding chemicals are discussed.
