Abstract
In this study, a laccase-like gene from Thermomicrobium roseum DSM 5159 (TrLac-like) (NCBI: WP_012642205.1) was recombinantly expressed in Bacillus subtilis WB600. The optimum temperature and pH for TrLac-like were 50 °C and 6.0, respectively. TrLac-like showed high tolerance to mixed systems of water and organic solvents, indicating its potential for large-scale application in various industries. It showed 36.81 % similarity with YlmD from Geobacillus stearothermophilus (PDB:6T1B) in sequence alignment; therefore, 6T1B was employed as the template for homology modeling. To improve catalytic efficiency, amino acid substitutions within 5 Å of the inosine ligand were simulated to reduce the binding energy and promote substrate affinity. Single and double substitutions (44 and 18, respectively) were prepared, and the catalytic efficiency of the mutant A248D was increased to approximately 110-fold that of the wild type, while the thermal stability was maintained. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the significant improvement in catalytic efficiency could be attributed to the formation of new hydrogen bonds between the enzyme and substrate. With a further decrease in the binding energy, the catalytic efficiency of the multiple mutant H129N/A248D was approximately 14-fold higher than that of the wild type but lower than that of the single mutant A248D. This is possibly because kcat also decreased with the decrease of Km; consequently, the substrate could not be released in time owing to the enzyme with the combination mutation not being able to release the substrate at a high rate.

Abstract
d-Allulose is an attractive rare sugar that can be used as a low-calorie sweetener with significant health benefits. To meet the increasing market demands, it is necessary to develop an efficient and extensive microbial fermentation platform for the synthesis of d-allulose. Here, we applied a comprehensive systematic engineering strategy in Bacillus subtilis WB600 by introducing d-allulose 3-epimerase (DAEase), combined with the deactivation of fruA, levDEFG, and gmuE, to balance the metabolic network for the efficient production of d-allulose. This resulting strain initially produced 3.24 g/L of d-allulose with a yield of 0.93 g of d-allulose/g d-fructose. We further screened and obtained a suitable dual promoter combination and performed fine-tuning of its spacer region. After 64 h of fed-batch fermentation, the optimized engineered B. subtilis produced d-allulose at titers of 74.2 g/L with a yield of 0.93 g/g and a conversion rate of 27.6%. This d-allulose production strain is a promising platform for the industrial production of rare sugar.

Abstract
Thermomicrobium roseum sarcosine oxidase (TrSOX) was a N-demethylase with specific substrate chiral selectivity, outstanding thermostability and environmental resistance. To promote the expression of TrSOX in Bacillus subtilis W600, the HpaII promoter of pMA5 plasmid was replaced by constitutive or inducible promoters. Through orthogonal experiment, the expression process was optimized, B. subtilis W600 cells containing pMA5-Pxyl-trSOX plasmid were cultivated until OD600nm reached 2.0 and were then induced with 1.6% xylose at 37 °C for 2 h, and the native environment of T. roseum was simulated by heating at 80 °C, with the productivity of TrSOX increased from ~8.3 to ~66.7 μg/g wet cells; and the simulated high temperature was the key switch for the final folding. To reduce the surface hydrophobicity, a S320R mutant was built to form a hydrophilic lid around the entrance of the substrate pocket, and the yield of TrSOX (S320R) was ~163.0 μg/g wet cells, approximately 20 folds as that in the initial expression system. This mutant revealed the similar secondary structure, stability, resistance, chiral substrate selectivity and optimal reaction environment with wild type TrSOX; however, the N-demethylation activities for amino acid derivative substrates were dramatically increased, while those for hydrophobic non-amino acid compounds were repressed.
