Abstract
Due to the increasing demand for health-conscious and environmentally friendly products, D-mannose has gained significant attention as a natural, low-calorie sweetener. The use of D-mannose isomerases (D-MIases) for D-mannose production has emerged as a prominent area of research, offering superior advantages compared with conventional methods such as plant extraction and chemical synthesis. In this study, a gene encoding D-MIase was cloned from Bifidobacterium and expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The heterologously expressed enzyme, Bifi-mannose, formed a trimer with a molecular weight of 146.3 kDa and a melting temperature (Tm) of 63.39 ± 1.3 °C. Bifi-mannose exhibited optimal catalytic activity at pH 7.5 and 55 °C, and retained more than 80% of its activity after a 3-hour incubation at 55 °C, demonstrating excellent thermal stability. The Km, Vmax, and kcat/Km values of Bifi-mannose for D-fructose isomerization were determined as 538.7 ± 62.5 mM, 11.7 ± 0.9 μmol·mg1·s1, and 1.02 ± 0.3 mM1·s1, respectively. Notably, under optimized conditions, catalytic yields of 29.4, 87.1, and 148.5 mg·mL1 were achieved when using 100, 300, and 500 mg·mL1 of D-fructose as substrates, resulting in a high conversion rate (29%). Furthermore, kinetic parameters and molecular docking studies revealed that His387 residue primarily participates in the opening of the pyranose ring, while His253 acts as a basic catalyst in the isomerization process.

Abstract
The biocatalysts are broadly explored in the biological transformation processes. The enzyme cascade catalysis involves various catalytic activities in a sequential process to produce the desired product including the formation of reaction intermediates. Enzyme immobilization is a method in which enzymes are confined within a support or matrix either physically or chemically to enhance their relative stability and catalytic activity in the enzyme cascade catalysis. In view of this, L-arabinose isomerase (L-AI) and L-ribose isomerase (L-RI) were immobilized on zeolite based metal framework as a micro-composite construct (DEMC@L-AI+L-RI) using linker, and metal ions. Such immobilization could be of great significance and provide several advantages like mesoporous surface for enzyme adsorption, desirable functionality in the production of products in enzyme cascade reaction, high storage stability and enhanced recyclability. The developed DEMC@L-AI+L-RI was characterized using SEM, FTIR, CLSM and TGA. The immobilization yield was 32% and loading of enzyme was 22% on the surface of micro-composite. The DEMC@L-AI+L-RI showed relatively stable catalytic activity at pH 5-6 and temperature 40 °C. The catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) of both the enzymes was increased by 1.5-fold after immobilization. With the immobilized biocatalyst, bioconversion of L-arabinose to L-ribose was 22.6% and D-galactose to D-talose was 15.2%. The reusability of developed biocatalyst for more than six cycles was observed for more than 50% yield of the sugars. The conversion of biomass sugars from beetroot and onion waste residues was 20% and 14% to produce ribose and talose, respectively.

Abstract
l-Ribose, a starting material for the synthesis of l-nucleoside, has attracted lots of attention since l-nucleoside is responsible for the antiviral activities of the racemic mixtures of nucleoside enantiomers. In this study, the l-ribulose-producing Candida tropicalis strain was engineered for the conversion of l-arabinose to l-ribose. For the construction of a uracil auxotroph, the URA3 gene was excised by homologous recombination. The expression cassette of codon-optimized l-ribose isomerase gene from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus DL-28 under the control of the GAPDH promoter was integrated to the uracil auxotroph. The resulting strain, K1 CoSTP2 LsaAraA AcLRI, was cultivated with the glucose/l-arabinose mixture. At 45.5 h of fermentation, 6.0 g/L of l-ribose and 3.2 g/L of l-ribulose were produced from 30 g/L of l-arabinose. The proportion between l-ribose and l-ribulose was approximately 2:1 and the conversion yield of l-arabinose to l-ribose was about 20% (w/w). The l-ribose-producing yeast strain was successfully constructed for the first time and could convert l-arabinose to l-ribose in one-pot fermentation using the mixture of glucose and l-arabinose.

Abstract
As a substitute sweetener for sucrose, d-tagatose is widely used in products, such as health drinks, yogurt, fruit juices, baked goods, confectionery, and pharmaceutical preparations. In the fermentation process of l-AI produced by Lactobacillus plantarum, d-tagatose is produced through biotransformation and this study was based on the fermentation process of Lactobacillus plantarum WU14 producing l-AI to further research the biotransformation and separation process of d-tagatose. The kinetics of cell growth, substrate consumption, and l-arabinose isomerase formation were established by nonlinear fitting, and the fitting degrees were 0.996, 0.994, and 0.991, respectively, which could better reflect the change rule of d-tagatose biotransformation in the fermentation process of L. plantarum WU14. The separation process of d-tagatose was identified by decolorization, protein removal, desalination, and freeze drying, initially. Finally, the volume ratio of whole cell catalysts, d-galactose, and borate was 5:1:2 at 60°C, pH 7.17 through borate complexation; then, after 24 hr of conversion, the yield of d-tagatose was 58 g/L.

Abstract
Pentose sugars are widespread in nature and two of them, D-xylose and L-arabinose belong to the most abundant sugars being the second and third by abundance sugars in dry plant biomass (lignocellulose) and in general on planet. Therefore, it is not surprising that metabolism and bioconversion of these pentoses attract much attention. Several different pathways of D-xylose and L-arabinose catabolism in bacteria and yeasts are known. There are even more common and really ubiquitous though not so abundant pentoses, D-ribose and 2-deoxy-D-ribose, the constituents of all living cells. Thus, ribose metabolism is example of endogenous metabolism whereas metabolism of other pentoses, including xylose and L-arabinose, represents examples of the metabolism of foreign exogenous compounds which normally are not constituents of yeast cells. As a rule, pentose degradation by the wild-type strains of microorganisms does not lead to accumulation of high amounts of valuable substances; however, productive strains have been obtained by random selection and metabolic engineering. There are numerous reviews on xylose and (less) L-arabinose metabolism and conversion to high value substances; however, they mostly are devoted to bacteria or the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This review is devoted to reviewing pentose metabolism and bioconversion mostly in non-conventional yeasts, which naturally metabolize xylose. Pentose metabolism in the recombinant strains of S. cerevisiae is also considered for comparison. The available data on ribose, xylose, L-arabinose transport, metabolism, regulation of these processes, interaction with glucose catabolism and construction of the productive strains of high-value chemicals or pentose (ribose) itself are described. In addition, genome studies of the natural xylose metabolizing yeasts and available tools for their molecular research are reviewed. Metabolism of other pentoses (2-deoxyribose, D-arabinose, lyxose) is briefly reviewed.

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.

Abstract
Currently, due to the special functions and potential application values, rare sugars become the hot topic in carbohydrate fields. L-Ribulose, an isomer of L-ribose, is an expensive rare ketopentose. As an important precursor for other rare sugars and L-nucleoside analogue synthesis, L-ribulose attracts more and more attention in recent days. Compared with complicated chemical synthesis, the bioconversion method becomes a good alternative approach to L-ribulose production. Generally, the bioconversion of L-ribulose was linked with ribitol, L-arabinose, L-ribose, L-xylulose, and L-arabitol. Herein, an overview of recent advances in the metabolic pathway, chemical synthesis, bioproduction of L-ribulose, and the potential application of L-ribulose is reviewed in detail in this paper. KEY POINTS: 1. L-Ribulose is a rare sugar and the key precursor for L-ribose production. 2. L-Ribulose is the starting material for L-nucleoside derivative synthesis. 3. Chemical synthesis, bioproduction, and applications of L-ribulose are reviewed.

Abstract
L-Ribose is a non-naturally occurring pentose that recently has become known for its potential application in the pharmaceutical industry, as it is an ideal starting material for use in synthesizing L-nucleosides analogues, an important class of antiviral drugs. In the past few decades, the synthesis of L-ribose has been mainly undertaken through the chemical route. However, chemical synthesis of L-ribose is difficult to achieve on an industrial scale. Therefore, the biotechnological production of L-ribose has gained considerable attention, as it exhibits many merits over the chemical approaches. The present review focuses on various biotechnological strategies for the production of L-ribose through microbial biotransformation and enzymatic catalysis, and in particular on an analysis and comparison of the synthetic methods and different enzymes. The physiological functions and applications of L-ribose are also elucidated. In addition, different sugar isomerases involved in the production of L-ribose from a number of sources are discussed in detail with regard to their biochemical properties. Furthermore, analysis of the separation issues of L-ribose from the reaction solution and different purification methods is presented.Key points • l -Arabinose, l -ribulose and ribitol can be used to produce l -ribose by enzymes. • Five enzymes are systematically introduced for production of l -ribose. • Microbial transformation and enzymatic methods are promising for yielding l -ribose.
