Abstract
Rare sugars possess potential applications as low-calorie sweeteners, especially for anti-obesity and anti-diabetes. In this study, a fermentation biosystem based on the "DHAP-dependent aldolases strategy" was established for D-allulose and D-sorbose production from glycerol in endotoxin-free ClearColi BL21 (DE3). Several engineering strategies were adopted to enhance rare sugar production. Firstly, the combination of different plasmids for aldO, rhaD, and yqaB expression was optimized. Then, the artificially constructed ribosomal binding site (RBS) libraries of aldO, rhaD, and yqaB genes were assembled individually and combinatorially. In addition, a peroxidase was overexpressed to eliminate the damage or toxicity from hydrogen peroxide generated by alditol oxidase (AldO). Finally, stepwise improvements in rare sugar synthesis were elevated to 15.01 g/L with a high yield of 0.75 g/g glycerol in a 3 L fermenter. This research enables the effective production of rare sugars from raw glycerol in high yields.

Abstract
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a member of the colony-stimulating factor (CSF) family, which functions to enhance the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells and other hematopoietic lineages such as neutrophils, dendritic cells, or macrophages. These proteins have thus generated considerable interest in clinical therapy research. A current obstacle to the prokaryotic production of human GM-CSF (hGM-CSF) is its low solubility when overexpressed and subsequent complex refolding processes. In our present study, the solubility of hGM-CSF was examined when combined with three N-terminal fusion tags in five E. coli strains at three different expression temperatures. In the five E. coli strains BL21 (DE3), ClearColi BL21 (DE3), LOBSTR, SHuffle T7 and Origami2 (DE3), the hexahistidine-tagged hGM-CSF showed the best expression but was insoluble in all cases at each examined temperature. Tagging with the maltose-binding protein (MBP) and the b'a' domain of protein disulfide isomerase (PDIb'a') greatly improved the soluble overexpression of hGM-CSF at 30 °C and 18 °C. The solubility was not improved using the Origami2 (DE3) and SHuffle T7 strains that have been engineered for disulfide bond formation. Two conventional chromatographic steps were used to purify hGM-CSF from the overexpressed PDIb'a'-hGM-CSF produced in ClearColi BL21 (DE3). In the experiment, 0.65 mg of hGM-CSF was isolated from a 0.5 L flask culture of these E. coli and showed a 98% purity by SDS-PAGE analysis and silver staining. The bioactivity of this purified hGM-CSF was measured at an EC50 of 16.4 ± 2 pM by a CCK8 assay in TF-1 human erythroleukemia cells.

Abstract
In this work, we present a novel microbial biosensor for Salmonella based on impedance spectrometry by using isolated antibodies against a specific bacterial strain from human serum. Anti-Salmonella (or BL21(DE3)) antibodies were isolated from human serum using S. enteritidis (or BL21(DE3)) and the mutant strain ClearColi. After the purification steps, the purification yield of the antibodies was calculated to be 0.2 %. From the FACS analysis, the isolated anti-Salmonella antibodies were estimated to have more than 6-fold higher binding affinity for S. enteritidis compared to antibodies against other kinds of Gram-negative bacterial strains, including HB101, ClearColi, JM110, DH5α, and BL21(DE3). Finally, the anti-Salmonella antibodies isolated herein were used for bacterial detection using electrochemical biosensors based on impedance spectrometry and the Rct value of the antibodies was estimated for S. enteritidis from the Nyquist plot. The limit of detection of the isolated anti-Salmonella antibodies was estimated to be 1.0 × 103 cells/mL for S. enteritidis and 1.0 × 106 cells/mL for BL21(DE3), respectively.

Abstract
α2,3-Sialyltransferase from Pasteurella multocida (PmST1) is an enzyme that transfers a sialyl group of donor substrates to an acceptor substrate called N-acetyl-d-lactosamine (LacNAc). In this study PmST1 was expressed on the outer membrane of wildtype Escherichia coli (BL21) with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and ClearColi with no LPS, and then the enzyme activity and expression level of PmST1 were compared. As the first step, the expression levels of PmST1 on the outer membranes of wildtype E. coli (BL21) and ClearColi were compared according to the IPTG induction time, and the absolute amount of surface-displayed PmST1 was calculated using densitometry of SDS-PAGE. As the next step, the influence of LPS on the PmST1 activity was estimated by analyzing Michaelis-Menten plot. The enzyme activity of PmST1 was analyzed by measuring the concentration of CMP, which was a by-product after the transfer of the sialyl group of donor compounds to the acceptor compounds. From a Michaelis-Menten plot, the enzyme activity of the surface-displayed PmST1 and the maximum rate (Vmax) of ClearColi were higher than those of wildtype E. coli (BL21). However, the KM value, which represented the concentration of substrate to reach half the maximum rate (Vmax), was similar for both enzymes. These results represented such a difference in enzyme activity was occurred from the interference of LPS on the mass transport of the donor and acceptor to PmST1 for the sialyl group transfer.
