摘要:
Disclosed is a recombinant thermostable enzyme which has a molecular weight of about 54,000-64,000 daltons and a pI of about 5.6-6.6, and releases trehalose from non-reducing saccharides having a trehalose structure as an end unit and a degree of glucose polymerization of at least 3. The enzyme has a satisfactorily-high thermostability, i.e. it is not substantially inactivated even when incubated in an aqueous solution (pH 7.0) at 85.degree. C. for 60 min, and this facilitates the production of trehalose on an industrial scale and in a satisfactorily-high yield.

Disclosed are a DNA encoding an enzyme which releases trehalose from non-reducing saccharides having a trehalose structure as an end unit and having a degree of glucose polymerization of 3 or higher, recombinant DNA and enzyme, transformant, and their preparations and uses. These facilitate the industrial-scale production of trehalose with a relative easiness and low cost, and trehalose thus obtained can be satisfactorily used in a variety of food products, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

摘要:
Bacteria with improved survival under toxic and oxidative stress and methods of using the same for bioremediation are described. Many bacteria such as Escherichia coli have been found to naturally reduce toxic pollutants into a less toxic form, such as by reducing Chromium (VI) to Chromium (III). Reducing such toxins generates damaging reactive oxygen species, so it is important to find a defense for these bacteria against the associated oxidative stress. Trehalose is a small biomolecule that has been shown to protect bacteria from various types of stress by accumulating within the cells. The present invention is directed to bacteria genetically modified to overexpress trehalose biosynthesis genes. The bacteria demonstrate improved viability when challenged with toxins and oxidative stress. The present invention provides inexpensive and beneficial bacteria and methods for environmental remediation.

Disclosed are novel thermostable trehalose-releasing enzyme, and its preparations and uses. The enzyme is obtainable from the culture of microorganisms such as Sulfolobus acidocaldarius (ATCC 33909 and ATCC 49426) and Sulfolobus solfataricus (ATCC 35091 and ATCC 35092), and capable of hydrolyzing at a temperature of over 55.degree. C. the linkage between a trehalose moiety and the remaining glycosyl moiety in a non-reducing saccharide having a trehalose structure as an end unit and having a degree of glucose polymerization of 3 or higher. Trehalose and compositions containing the same are extensively useful in food products, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

摘要:
Disclosed is a trehalose-releasing enzyme which specifically hydrolyzes the linkage between a trehalose moiety and the remaining glycosyl moiety in a non-reducing saccharide having a trehalose structure as an end unit and having a degree of glucose polymerization of 3 or higher. The molecular weight of the enzyme is about 57,000 to 68,000 daltons on SDS-PAGE, and the isoelectric point is about 3.3 to 4.6 on isoelectrophoresis. The enzyme is useful in an industrial-scale preparation of trehalose, and the trehalose prepared therewith can be readily incorporated into food products, as well as cosmetic- and pharmaceutical-compositions.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a method for constructing a trehalose polyenzyme complex in vitro by mediation of an artificial scaffold protein, which mainly comprises the following steps: constructing a recombinant bacterium WB800n-ScafCCR for self-assembled scaffold protein module; constructing a recombinant bacterium WB800n-P43-phoD -treY-Ccdoc for self-assembled catalytic module; constructing a recombinant bacterium WB800n-P43-phoD-treZ-Ctdoc for self-assembled catalytic module; constructing a recombinant bacterium WB800n-P43-phoD-cgt-Rfdoc for self-assembled catalytic module; secretorily expressing the recombinant bacteria and self-assembling in vitro to obtain a recombinant trehalose multi-enzyme complex. The trehalose multi-enzyme complex constructed by the method of the present disclosure has a higher catalytic efficiency in preparing trehalose than that of mixed free enzymes, and the method can be used for production of high quality trehalose after immobilization with cellulose microspheres.
