Abstract
Microbial inulosucrase as a transfructosylation tool has been used to produce inulin and inulin-type fructooligosaccharides with various polymerization degrees. Tailor-made oligosaccharides could be generated by inulosucrase via chain length modulation. In this study, a semi-rational design based on the modeled structure of Lactobacillus reuteri 121 inulosucrase was carried out to screen and construct variants. The residues Arg541 and Arg544 were determined to be significant to the product chain elongation of L. reuteri 121 inulosucrase. The variant R544W altered the product specificity of inulosucrase and produced short-chain fructooligosaccharides with 1-kestose as the main component. Molecular dynamic simulations verified an increased binding free energy of variant R544W with 1-kestose than the wild-type enzyme with 1-kestose. After optimization, 1-kestose and total short-chain fructooligosaccharides production reached approximately 206 g/L and 307 g/L, respectively. This study suggests the great potential of variant R544W in the biotransformation from sucrose to functional sugar.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of short-chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS), xylooligosaccharides (XOS) and galactooligosaccharides (GOS) on immune and hepatic oxidative status, and gut morphology of white sea bream juveniles. Four diets were formulated: a control diet with fish meal (FM) and plant feedstuffs (PF) (30FM:70PF) and three test diets similar to the control but supplemented with 1% of scFOS, XOS or GOS. Dietary prebiotic incorporation did not affect total blood cell counts, hematocrit, hemoglobin, red blood indices or differential white blood cell counts. Fish fed GOS had lower ACH50 and nitric oxide than fish fed control diet. XOS enhanced immune status through the increase in alternative complement pathway (ACH50), lysozyme and total immunoglobulin. The higher activity of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase in fish fed FOS compared to the other dietary groups was the only related antioxidant enzyme affected by prebiotics in the liver. GOS ameliorated the precocious adverse effects of PF based diet on gut histomorphology, as denoted by the lower incidence of histological alterations in fish fed GOS for 15 days. In conclusion, XOS and GOS at 1% might have potential to be used as prebiotics in white sea bream juveniles.
