Abstract: The present invention provides: a novel allulose epimerase variant in which an amino acid residue present at a specific position of an amino acid sequence of a wild-type D-allulose 3-epimerase derived from Flavonifractor plautii is substituted with another amino acid residue; and various uses of the novel allulose epimerase variant. The novel allulose epimerase variant according to the present invention has a higher conversion rate of fructose to allulose compared to that of the wild-type D-allulose 3-epimerase derived from Flavonifractor plautii, and has excellent thermal stability especially under high temperature conditions of 60° C. or higher, and thus can prevent contamination during an industrial-scale enzymatic conversion reaction for the mass production of allulose, shorten production time, and reduce production costs.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel allulose epimerase variant and various uses thereof, in which glycine (Gly), an amino acid residue at position 216 of the amino acid sequence of wild-type D-allulose 3-epimerase derived from Flavonifractor plautii, is substituted with serine (Ser). The novel allulose epimerase variant according to the present invention has a higher conversion activity of fructose to allulose compared to the wild-type D-allulose 3-epimerase derived from Flavonifractor plautii, and in particular, it has excellent thermal stability under high temperature conditions of 60° C. or higher, so that the enzyme conversion reaction is performed at the industrial level for mass production of allulose to prevent contamination, to shorten production time, and to reduce production cost.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a mutant strain having enhanced L-glutamic acid productivity and a method of producing L-glutamic acid using the same. The mutant strain according to one embodiment of the present disclosure has reduced production of citramalate as a by-product due to weakening or inactivation of the activity of citramalate synthase and has excellent L-glutamic acid productivity. The strain having an additional mutation in the YggB protein may produce L-glutamic acid in an improved yield due to enhancement of glutamic acid release. Thus, when the mutant strain is used, it is possible to more effectively produce L-glutamic acid.
