Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are a composition for producing tagatose, comprising fructose-4-epimerase, and a method of producing tagatose using the same.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A composition for producing tagatose, comprising tagatose-6-phosphate kinase, a microorganism expressing the tagatose-6-phosphate kinase, or a culture of the microorganism. 2 . The composition for producing tagatose of claim 1 , further comprising fructose. 3 . The composition for producing tagatose of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises one or more of tagatose-6-phosphate kinase consisting of an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, or 11. 4 . The composition for producing tagatose of claim 1 , wherein the tagatose-6-phosphate kinase is an enzyme derived from Anaerolineae sp., the genus of Thermobifida , the genus of Thermoanaerobacter , or the genus of Dictyoglomus , or a variant thereof. 5 . A method of producing tagatose, comprising converting fructose into tagatose by contacting fructose with tagatose-6-phosphate kinase, a microorganism expressing the tagatose-6-phosphate kinase, or a culture of the microorganism. 6 . The method of producing tagatose of claim 5 , wherein the contacting is performed under conditions of pH 5.0 to pH 9.0 and 30° C. to 80° C. for 0.5 hours to 48 hours.
