Abstract
|
|
|
¥â-Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (¥â-CGTase) was overproduced extracellularly using recombinant E. coli by transforming the plasmid pECGT harboring a secretive signal peptide. The ¥â-CGTase gene of alkalophilic Bacillus firmus var. alkalophilus was inserted into the high expression vector pET20b(+) containing a secretive pelB signal peptide, and then transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3)pLysS. The optimum culture cinditions for the overproduction of ¥â-CGTase were determined to be TB medium containing 0.5% (w/v) soluble starch at post-induction temperature of 25¡É. A significant amount of ¥â-CGTase, up to 5.83 U/ml, which was nine times higher than that in the parent strain B. firmus var. alkalophilus, was overproduced in the extracellular compartment. A pH-stat fed-batch cultivation of the recombinant E. coli was also performed to achieve the secretive overproduction of ¥â-CGTase ant a high cell density, resulting in production of up to 21.6/Uml of ¥â-CGTase.
