Zusammenfassung:This disclosure is in the technical field of synthetic biology, metabolic engineering and cell cultivation. The disclosure describes methods for the production of a fucosylated compound using a fucosyltransferase as well as the purification of the fucosylated compound, the fucosyltransferase having alpha-1,3-fucosyltransferase activity on the N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and/or the glucose (Glc) residue of Gal-β1,m-GlcNAc-β1,n-Gal-β1,4-Glc of a saccharide substrate comprising Gal-β1,m-GlcNAc-β1,n-Gal-β1,4-Glc wherein the m is 3 or 4 and the n is 3 or 6. The disclosure also provides a cell for production of a fucosylated compound. Next, the disclosure describes methods for the production of 3-fucosyllactose (3-FL) using a fucosyltransferase having alpha-1,3-fucosyltransferase activity on the Glc residue of lactose, as well as the purification of the 3-FL. The disclosure also provides a cell for production of 3-FL.
