A new genetically derived variant of the glucosyltransferase from Streptococcus oralis has been characterized physicochemically and kinetically. Compared with the industrially used glucosyltransferase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides, the enzyme variant GTF-R S628D possesses 25 times higher affinity for the specific glucosylation of glucose. For a concept of integrated reaction and product isolation, a fluidized bed reactor with in situ product removal was applied. The technical feasibility and the applicability of the kinetic models for reaction and adsorption could be demonstrated. The immobilized enzyme was stable (20% activity loss after 192 h) and product could be obtained with 90% purity. A bioprocess model was generated which allowed the integral assessment of the enzymatic synthesis and in situ product adsorption. The model is a powerful tool which assists with the localization of optimal process parameters. It was applied for the process evaluation of other glucosyltransferases and demonstrated key characteristics of each enzymatic system.

Isomaltose–oligosaccharides (IMOs), as food ingredients with prebiotic functionality, can be prepared via enzymatic synthesis using α-glucosidase. In the present study, the α-glucosidase (GSJ) from Geobacillus sp. strain HTA-462 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). Recombinant GSJ was purified and biochemically characterized. The optimum temperature condition of the recombinant enzyme was 65 ?C, and the half-life was 84 h at 60 ?C, whereas the enzyme was active over the range of pH 6.0–10.0 with maximal activity at pH 7.0. The α-glucosidase activity in shake flasks reached 107.9 U/mL and using 4-Nitrophenyl β-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG) as substrate, the Km and Vmax values were 2.321 mM and 306.3 U/mg, respectively. The divalent ions Mn2+ and Ca2+ could improve GSJ activity by 32.1% and 13.8%. Moreover, the hydrolysis ability of recombinant α-glucosidase was almost the same as that of the commercial α-glucosidase (Bacillus stearothermophilus). In terms of the transglycosylation reaction, with 30% maltose syrup under the condition of 60 ?C and pH 7.0, IMOs were synthesized with a conversion rate of 37%. These studies lay the basis for the industrial application of recombinant α-glucosidase.

Page/Page column 18-19, (2010/06/11)
The present invention has objects to provide a glucan useful as water-soluble dietary fiber, its preparation and uses. The present invention solves the above objects by providing a branched α-glucan, which is constructed by glucose molecules and characterized by methylation analysis as follows: (1) Ratio of 2,3,6-trimethyl-1,4,5-triacetyl-glucitol to 2,3,4-trimethyl-1,5,6-triacetyl-glucitol is in the range of 1:0.6 to 1:4;(2) Total content of 2,3,6-trimethyl-1,4,5-triacetyl-glucitol and 2,3,4-trimethyl-1,5,6-triacetyl-glucitol is 60% or higher in the partially methylated glucitol acetates;(3) Content of 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-triacetyl-glucitol is 0.5% or higher but less than 10% in the partially methylated glucitol acetates; and(4) Content of 2,4-dimethyl-1,3,5,6-tetraacetyl-glucitol is 0.5% or higher in the partially methylated glucitol acetates; a novel α-glucosyltransferase which forms the branched α-glucan, processes for producing them, and their uses.
