Difucosyllactose (DFL), an important kind of fucosylated human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), has garnered considerable attention due to its excellent physiological activities in infants. Previously, we achieved de novo biosynthesis DFL; however, substantial residual intermediates fucosyllactoses (FL) were detected. In this study, DFL was optimized, and FL reduced by regulating metabolic pathways. Different plasmid combinations used regulate gene expression, achieving optimal flux balance between 2′-FL DFL. The expression level key enzyme α-1,3-fucosyltransferase (α-1,3-FT, FucTa) then enhanced increasing copy number integrating fucTa into the chromosome. Exocytosis deleting sugar efflux transporter setA gene, thereby minimizing FL. Finally, strain BSF41 produced 55.3 g/L with only 2.59 a 5 L fermentor, representing highest reported titer date. This study provides foundation for advancing HMOs.

Lacto-N-fucopentaose I (LNFP I) has recently been approved as generally recognized safe, demonstrating its great commercial potential in the food industry. Microbial synthesis through metabolic engineering strategies is an effective approach for large-scale production of LNFP I. Biosynthesis requires consideration two key points: high titer with low byproduct 2′-fucosyllactose (2′-FL) generation and purity lacto-N-triose II (LNTri II) lacto-N-tetraose (LNT) residues. Herein, α1,2-fucosyltransferase from Thermoanaerobacterium sp. RBIITD was screened 16 selected I-producing glycosyltransferase candidates, showing highest vivo productivity. Chromosomal integration wbgO enhanced by improving precursor conversion LNTri to LNT. The best engineered strain produced 4.42 35.1 g/L shake-flask fed-batch cultivation, respectively. residual LNT were eliminated further cultivation a recombinant coexpressing Bifidobacterium bifidum β-N-acetylhexosaminidase lacto-N-biosidase. A strategy biosynthesis yield finally realized, providing support practical application production.
