  • The induction of glucoamylase biosynthesis from the yeast Candida tsukubaensis by different carbon sources was investigated by using either an enzyme activity assay or immunoblot analysis. The induction by C. tsukubaensis appears to be independent of the carbon sources, although the level of enzyme activity was lower in slowly utilizable carbon sources such as galactose. This glucoamylase is a constitutive enzyme and its biosynthesis is resistant to carbon catabolite repression. Glucose was more effective for the enzyme induction than starch, maltose or glycerol. In addition, this enzyme is regulated by both induction and repression.

  • The glucoamylase of Candida tsuubaensis was purified to homogeneity form culture filtrate by means of ultrafiltration, Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration and Sp-Sephadex C-50 chromatography. The purified enzyme was a glycoprotein with a molecular mass of approximately 50 kDa, which was a monomeric protein. Km values were 5.8 mg/ml for soluble starch and 0.04 mM for maltose. Glucoamylase also released only glucose from both pullulan and isomaltose. The analysis of amino acid composition revealed that the enzyme contained a high content of acidic and polar amino acids. In addition, Western blotting analysis indicates that C. tsukubaensis glucoamylase is resistant to glucose repression.
