Pyranose oxidase (POx) is a homotetrameric flavoprotein that catalyzes the oxidation of pyranose-configured sugars at position C-2 to corresponding 2-ketoaldoses. The wide substrate specificity makes POx potential for application in various biotechnological industries. In the present study we reported the

High-throughput screening is a powerful tool for discovering strains in the natural environment that may be suitable for target production. Herein, a novel enzyme-based high-throughput screening method was developed for rapid screening of strains overproducing 2-keto-L-gulonic acid (2-KLG). The screening
