Spore display innovation technology for unlocking new substrates for glucose oxidase.
Background: Glucose oxidase (GOD) has been extensively applied in the animal feed industry. However, its substrate specificity limits its utility in the broad degradation of fibrous raw materials.
Results: In this study, a series of spore display technologies were employed to transform GOD from an enzyme specific for β-d-glucose into a broad-spectrum sugar oxidase capable of catalyzing various sugars such as arabinose, xylose, sucrose, cellobiose, raffinose, and sorbitol. Notably, the relative enzyme activities for arabinose, xylose, and sorbitol increased from less than 5% to 71%, 52%, and 53%, respectively. Furthermore, the optimal temperature for GOD activity shifted from 30 °C to 60 °C, significantly improving its thermal stability.
