*All units are in μg/mL unless indicated. U/mL refers to active enzyme units per mL CFGpS reaction. All reactions were conducted in batch, unless denoted with ‘SC’ for semicontinuous reaction conditions

ϮE denotes when extracts were enriched with the endogenous glycosylation machinery from the host strain. For E. coli systems, the OST and LLO recombinantly expressed in the strain prior to lysis are indicated

Abbreviations are: firefly luciferase (Luc), glucose oxidase (GOx), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (gp120), superfolder green fluorescent protein (sfGFP) maltose binding protein (MBP), erythropoietin (EPO), Francisella tularensis (Ft), Campylobacter jejuni (Cj), disulfide bond (DSB), Western blot (WB), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
