Abstract
Chitosan oligosaccharides (COS), derived from chitin, have garnered considerable attention owing to their diverse biological activities and potential applications. Previous investigations into the bioactivity of COS often encountered challenges, primarily stemming from the use of COS mixtures, making it difficult to discern specific effects linked to distinct degrees of polymerization (DP). Recent progress underscores the significant variation in the biological activities of COS corresponding to different DPs, prompting dedicated research towards synthesizing COS with well-defined polymerization. Among the available methods, enzymatic preparation stands out as a viable and environmentally friendly approach for COS synthesis. This article provides a comprehensive overview of emerging strategies for the enzymatic preparation of single COS, encompassing protein engineering, enzymatic membrane bioreactors, and transglycosylation reactions. Furthermore, the bioactivities of single COS, including anti-tumor, antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and plant defense inducer properties, exhibit close associations with DP values. The potential applications of single COS, such as in functional food, food preservation, and crop planting, are also elucidated.

Abstract
Herein, carbon quantum dot (CQD)-doped oleic acid (OL)-treated chitosan (Ch) nanocomposites (Ch-OL/CQD) are prepared by a simple solution technique for nonenzymatic ex vivo detection of glucose in human blood samples. From the architecture of the structure, it is observed that the agglomeration of CQD is restricted by OL-treated Ch polymeric chain, and simultaneously the inhibition in the entanglement of Ch-OL polymeric chains in the matrix is attained by the incorporation of CQD, thereby proving the high stability of the nanocomposite. In vitro detection of glucose is studied by the "Turn ON-OFF" fluorescence technique which is again evidenced by the shining core image of nanocomposites in HRTEM. A highly selective glucose sensing against interfering sugars due to the specific spatial arrangement of the hydroxyl groups of glucose, leading to prominent hydrogen-bonding interaction is established, with a very low limit of detection (LOD) of 1.51 μM, covering a wide linear domain from 0 to 104 μM, R2 = 0.98. Moreover, the calculated glucose levels in real human blood serums by Ch-OL/CQD nanocomposites are compared with a commercial glucometer, with recovery percentages from 95.8 to 107.3%. The clinical potential is supported by studying the stimuli responsiveness of the nanocomposites as a function of pH and ionic strength, encouraging the operation of the sensor in a complex biological scenario. The present work may offer an opportunity for the monitoring of glucose in the blood for successful diabetes management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A lot of kitchen waste oil is produced every day worldwide, leading to serious environmental pollution. As one of the environmental protection methods, microorganisms are widely used treating of various wastes. Lipase, as one of the cleaning agents can effectively degrade kitchen waste oil. The composting process of pig carcasses produces many lipase producing microorganisms, rendering compost products an excellent source for isolating lipase producing microorganisms. To our knowledge, there are no reports isolating of lipase producing strains from the high temperature phase of pig carcass compost. METHODOLOGY Lipase producing strains were isolated using a triglyceride medium and identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The optimal fermentation conditions for maximum lipase yield were gradually optimized by single-factor tests. The extracellular lipase was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and Sephadex G-75 gel isolation chromatography. Amino acid sequence analysis, structure prediction, and molecular docking of the purified protein were performed. The pure lipase's enzymatic properties and application potential were evaluated by characterizing its biochemical properties. RESULTS In this study, a lipase producing strain of Bacillus sp. ZF2 was isolated from pig carcass compost products, the optimal fermentation conditions of lipase: sucrose 3 g/L, ammonium sulfate 7 g/L, Mn2+ 1.0 mmol/L, initial pH 6, inoculum 5%, temperature 25 ℃, and fermentation time 48 h. After purification, the specific activity of the purified lipase reached 317.59 U/mg, a 9.78-fold improvement. Lipase had the highest similarity to the GH family 46 chitosanase and molecular docking showed that lipase binds to fat via two hydrogen bonds at Gln146 (A) and Glu203 (A). Under different conditions (temperature, metal ions, organic solvents, and surfactants), lipase can maintain enzymatic activity. Under different types of kitchen oils, lipase has low activity only for 'chicken oil', in treating other substrates, the enzyme activity can exceed 50%. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals the potential of lipase for waste oil removal, and future research will be devoted to the application of lipase.

Abstract
Chitooligosaccharides (hdpCOS) with a high degree of polymerization (hdp, DP 4-10) generally have greater biological activities than those of low-DP (ldp, DP 2-3) COS. Chitosanase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens KCP2 (Csn46) can degrade chitosan to more hdpCOS at high temperature (70 °C), but low thermal stability at this temperature makes it unsuitable for industrial application; the wild-type enzyme can only produce COS (DP 2-4) at lower temperatures. Several thermostable mutants were obtained by modifying chitosanase using a comprehensive strategy based on a computer-aided mutant design. A combination of four beneficial single-point mutations (A129L/T175 V/K70T/D34G) to Csn46 was selected to obtain a markedly improved mutant, Mut4, with a half-life at 60 °C extended from 34.31 to 690.80 min, and the specific activity increased from 1671.73 to 3528.77 U/mg. Mut4 produced COS with DPs of 2-4 and 2-7 at 60 and 70 °C, respectively. Therefore, Mut4 has the potential to be applied to the industrial-scale preparation of hdpCOS with high biological activity.

Abstract
Chitosan oligosaccharides (COSs) are widely applied in many areas due to its various biological activities. Controllable preparation of COSs with desired degree of polymerization (DP) via suitable chitosanase is of great value. Herein, a novel glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 46 chitosanase (SlCsn46) from marine Streptomyces lydicus S1 was prepared, characterized and used to controllably produce COSs with different DP. The specific activity of purified recombinant SlCsn46 was 1,008.5 U/mg. The optimal temperature and pH of purified SlCsn46 were 50°C and 6.0, respectively. Metal ions Mn2+ could improve the stability of SlCsn46. Additionally, SlCsn46 can efficiently hydrolyze 2% and 4% colloidal chitosan to prepare COSs with DP 2–4, 2–5, and 2–6 by adjusting the amount of SlCsn46 added. Moreover, COSs with DP 2–4, 2–5, and 2–6 exhibited potential application value for prolonging the shelf-life of pre-packaged Tofu. The water-holding capacity (WHC), sensorial properties, total viable count (TVC), pH and total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N) of pre-packed tofu incorporated with 4 mg/mL COSs with DP 2–4, 2–5, and 2–6 were better than those of the control during 15 days of storage at 10°C. Thus, the controllable hydrolysis strategy provides an effective method to prepare COSs with desired DP and its potential application on preservation of pre-packed tofu.
