- Abstract
- Expression of Brevibacillus brevis CD 162 cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) gene using pET22b(+) vector in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) resulted in the formation of inactive inclusion bodies under the usual induction conditions. However, by lowering the induction temperature to 30°C and/or adding 0.5 M mannitol as an osmolyte, the formation of insoluble aggregates was prevented and about a 34-fold increase (8.51 U ml-1) in biologically active soluble form was achieved after 6 h induction. The active CGTase enzyme was estimated to comprise as much as 24% of the total soluble proteins. In addition, other polyols such as glycerol, erythritol, xylitol, sorbitol, and arabitol showed similar effects with mannitol on the production of active CGTase enzyme.
