Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing fucosylated oligosaccharides by using a recombinant prokaryotic host cell that is cultivated on a gluconeogenic substrate, as well as to the host cell and its use. The host cell is genetically modified in that the activity of a fructose-6-phosphate converting enzyme is abolished or lowered, and the transport of the produced fucosylated oligosaccharide through the cell membrane is facilitated by an exogenous transport protein.

Abstract: Disclosed are genetically engineered microbial cells for the production of oligosaccharides comprising a galactose-?1,4-glucose moiety at their reducing end, wherein said microbial cells are able to produce said oligosaccharides in the absence of exogenously added lactose, and a method of producing said oligosaccharides using said microbial cells.

Abstract: Disclosed are genetically-engineered gram-negative bacterial cells for the production of an oligosaccharide of interest, wherein the bacterial cell possesses a saccharide transporter and/or a porin being expressed from a recombinant gene or a deregulated endogenous gene, thereby facilitating the translocation of the oligosaccharide of interest from the cell's cytoplasm into the cell's environment. Also disclosed are methods for producing an oligosaccharide of interest which used said genetically-engineered gram-negative bacterial cells.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a monosaccharide, e.g. L-fucose, in free form using a microbial fermentation process. The used microorganism exhibits hydrolase activity on nucleotide-activated sugars and releases the monosaccharide in an unmodified free form. The free monosaccharide is retrieved from the supernatant of the cultivated microorganism.

Abstract: Disclosed are novel fucosyltransferases being capable of transferring a fucose residue from a donor substrate to a lactotetraose, methods for producing fucosylated oligosaccharides utilizing said fucosyltransferases, and the use of the thus produced fucosylated oligosaccharides for manufacturing nutritional compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a monosaccharide using a microorganism. The microorganism possesses a glycosyltransferase and a glycosidase which work together to synthesize a desired monosaccharide in free form by using an endogenous provided nucleotide activated monosaccharide, glycosylate a suitable acceptor substrate and release the desired monosaccharide by a hydrolysis reaction. The required acceptor substrate for the reaction is recycled and only needed in catalytic amounts. The monosaccharide is produced in free from and is retrieved from the supernatant of the cultivated microorganism.
