Fructooligosaccharides (FOSs) and polyfructosides (PSs) have received particular attention due to its beneficial effects as prebiotics. Here we report the synthesis of a new class of fructooligosaccharides by substrate and enzyme engineering. Using an engineered levansucrase enzyme (SacB of Bacillus subtilis), and sucrose analogues (alpha-Xyl-1,2-beta-Fru or alpha-Gal-1,2-beta-Fru), the product profile shifted from the fructan (levan) polymer to a range of new higher oligosaccharides (xylooligofructosides), or polysaccharides (galactopolyfructosides), of varying size. Further the enzyme was tailored by random mutagenesis, for the synthesis of short-chain fructooligosaccharides to yield variant A5 (N242H), which is unable to produce polymers. It shifts its product pattern to short-chain oligosaccharides and hydrolysis and enabled in combination with the sucrose analogue Xyl-Fru for the first time the direct synthesis of a 6-kestose analogue (alpha-Xyl-1,2-beta-Fru-2,6-beta-Fru). The different glycopyranosyl-residues (i.e. galactose and xylose) that cap fructooligosaccharides may alter prebiotic and biochemical properties. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
