The biosynthesis and catabolite repression of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(CGTase) and cyclodextrinase(CDase) were studied in Bacillus sp. KJI6. In accompanying to the cell growth, CGTase was synthesized during early growth phase (20h culture) and CDase was synthesized during late growth phase (60h culture). Synthesis of CGTase was rather constitutive than that of CDase in the absence or presence of carbon source. Production of CDase was strongly stimulated by amylopectin and $\gamma$-CD medium (about 6 times), but CGTase synthesis was slightly increased (about 1.3 times). Easily metabolizable carbohydrates such as D-glucose, D- fructose and D-mannose completely repressed the expression of CDase, whereas their repressive effect to CGTase synthesis was relatively negligible. By addition of 10 mM cAMP, any significant effect on the synthesis of the two enzymes was not observed. Hardly metabolizable glucose analogues such as 2-deoxy-D-glucose and 3-0-methyl-D-glucopyranose also did not show any repression on the syntheses of CGTase and CDase. This indicates that D-glucose has to be metabolized to exert its repressive effect. With these results, it seems likely that the biosynthesis of CGTase and CDase are regulated by the catabolite repression due to unknown metabolite(s) of EM pathway.

The cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(CGTase) gene of Bacillus macerans was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the recombinant CGTase was partially purified from the yeast culture supernatant. The optimal pH and temperature of the CGTase were found to be 6.0 and 5$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The pH and temperature stabilities of the recombinant enzyme were significantly enhanced and the half life at 55$^{\circ}C$ was about 60 hr. When the recombinant CGTase was reacted with 5% soluble starch, the conversion yield of total cyclodextrin (CD) from starch was estimated to be 41% at 48 hr, whereas the wild type enzyme showed the yield of 12%. This improvement of conversion yield and thermal stability of CGTase may be useful for the development of low-cost CD production process.

$\beta$-Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase ($\beta$-CGTase) was overproduced extracellularly using recombinant E. coli by transforming the plasmid pECGT harboring a secretive signal peptide. The $\beta$-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 BL2l(DE3)pLysS. The optimum culture conditions fer the overproduction of $\beta$-CGTase were determined to be TB medium containing 0.5% (w/v) soluble starch at post-induction temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. A significant amount of $\beta$-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 $\beta$-CGTase at a high cell density, resulting in production of up to 21.6 U/ml of $\beta$-CGTase.

Bacillus stearothermophilus No.239 isolated from soil was mutated with N-methyl-N'nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) to yield a series of mutants with increasing levels of cyclomalto-dextrin glucanotransferase (EC 2.4.1.19` CGTase) production. After five consecutive mautation steps, a mutant MNNG 8 with about 14 times of CGTase activity than the parent strain was obtained.

The effects of GroEL/ES chaperone on the production of soluble form of B. macerans cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) in recombinant E. coli were investigated. The cgt gene and groEL/ES genes are under the control of T7 promoter and Pzt-1 promoter, respectively. The optimal concentrations of inducers, IPTG and tetracycline, were found to be 1.0 mM and 10 ng/ml, respectively. When tetracycline and IPTG were added at the early exponential phase (2h) and exponential phase (3h) of growth, respectively, about 1.5-fold increase of soluble CGTase activity and 1.6-fold increase of soluble CGTase protein were obtained. An SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that about $37.2\%$ of total CGTase protein was in the soluble fraction when GroEL/ES chaperone was overexpressed.

In order to elucidate the mechanism which regulates the production of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) and to achieve overproduction of CGTase by releasing catabolite (glucose) repression, several catabolite repression resistant mutants were selected from newly screened Bacillus firmus var. alkalophilus H609, after NTG (N-methyl-N -nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine) treatment, using 2-deoxyglucose as a nonmetabolizable analog of catabolite glucose and as a selection marker. Five catabolite repression resistant mutants were selected from about 30, 000 2-deoxyglucose resistant colonies. Relative catabolite repression indices of the selected mutants were in the range of 8~80% assuming 100% for parent strain. The amount of CGTase produced by the mutant strain CR41, which was 250 units/ml, was three times larger than that produced by its parent strain. The mutation seems to have occurred in the regulatory region of CGTase gene and not in the structural region or the glucose transporting system in cell membrane. The enzymatic properties of CGTase excreted from parent and mutant strains were also compared.

Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) (EC 2.4.1.19) use starch to produce cyclic maltooligosaccharides (cyclodextrins, CDs) which are of interest in various applications. To obtain a novel CGTase having high CD-forming activity, ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ glucanotransferase $({\beta}-CGTase)$ from Bacillus firmus var. alkalophilus was modified through site-directed mutagenesis and constructed five mutants, H59T, H59Q, Y96M, 9O-PPI-93, and ${\Delta}(148-154)D$, respectively. Y96M and ${\Delta}(148-154)D$ showed much higher level of conversion yields of starch into CDs from 28.6% to about 39% compared to wild-type ${\beta}-CGTase$, respectively, but 90-PPI-93 maintained similar convesion yields of starch to CDs. And their ${\beta}-CD$ ratios to total CDs were not changed and maintained, and convesion yields to linear maltooligosaccharides of all mutants were not changed significantly. These results indicates that five mutations of ${\beta}-CGTase$ from Bacillus firmus var. alkalophilus appears to be important roles for increase of overall CD production rather than change of its product specificity, especially.
