Difucosyllactose (Di‐FL) has strong antimicrobial activity against various pathogens, including group B Streptococcus, identified as the leading cause of neonatal sepsis. In this study, we sought to develop Escherichia coli as a microbial cell factory for efficiently producing Di‐FL as well as 2′‐fucosyllactose (2′‐FL), the most abundant fucosylated oligosaccharide in human milk, by utilizing the salvage guanosine 5′‐diphosphate (GDP)‐l‐fucose biosynthetic pathway.
