摘要:
A DNA encoding an enzyme, which forms non-reducing saccharides having trehalose structure as an end unit from amylaceous saccharides having a degree of glucose polymerization of 3 or higher, enables an industrial-scale production of a recombinant enzyme with such enzyme activity. Non-reducing saccharides obtainable by the recombinant enzyme can be used in a variety of food products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and feeds because of their substantial non-reducibility, mild and high-quality sweetness, adequate viscosity, and moisture-retaining ability.
摘要:
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:
Disclosed are a recombinant thermostable enzyme, which converts maltose into trehalose and is stable up to a temperature of about 80.degree. C. even when incubated at pH 7.0 for 60 min, a preparation of the enzyme, a DNA encoding the enzyme, a recombinant DNA containing the DNA, a transformant, and an enzymatic conversion method of maltose by using the enzyme.

摘要:
A recombinant enzyme, having a molecular weight of about 57,000-67,000 daltons on SDS-PAGE and a pI of about 4.1-5.1 on isoelectrophoresis, which converts maltose into trehalose and vice versa. Depending on the enzymatic conditions, the enzyme forms about 70 w/w % of trehalose when acts on maltose, while about 20 w/w % of maltose when acts on trehalose. The culture of a transformant, prepared by introducing into a host a recombinant DNA containing a DNA coding for the enzyme and a self-replicable vector, facilitates the industrial-scale production of trehalose.

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.
