The recombinant Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)pLysE : pTCGT1 was grown to overproduce Bacillus macerans cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) able to synthesize ${\alpha}$-cyclodextrin (CD) with a selectivity of 67%. A number of batch fermentations were performed to test the possibility of using lactose as an inducer of the E. coli T7 promoter system. A mixture of isopropyl ${\beta}$-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) and lactose (1 : 1) gave a maximum CGTase activity of 2.4 U/ml, which was higher than the value obtained with induction by IPTG alone. Fed-batch fermentations involving a glucose-controlled growth period followed by a gene-expression phase with mixtures of IPTG and lactose were employed to achieve high cell density and thereby increase total CGTase activity. Optimized fed-batch fermentation using the modified inducer (IPTG : lactose=1 : 3) and 100 g/l yeast extract solution in the gene-expression phase resulted in a maximum CGTase activity of 62.9 U/ml and a final cell mass of 53.5 g/l, corresponding to a 31-fold increase in CGTase activity and a 29-fold increase in cell mass compared with the control batch fermentation.

Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTasa) from Thermoanaerobacter sp. was adsorbed on the ion exchange resin Amberlite IRA-900. The optimum conditions for the immobilization of the CGTase were pH6.0 and 600 U CGTase/g resin, and the maximum yield of immobilization was around 63% on the basis of amount ratio of the adsorbed enzyme to intial amount in the solution. Immobilixation of CGTase shifted the optimum temperature for the enzyme to peoduce transglycosylated xylitol from 7$0^{\circ}C$ to 9$0^{\circ}C$ and improved the thermal stability of immobilized CGTase, especially after the addition of soluble starch and calcium ions. Transglycosylated xylitol was continuoncly produced using immobilized CGTase in the column type packed bed reactor, and the operating conditions for maximum yield were 10%(w/v) dextrin (13 of the dextrose equivalent) as the glycosyl donor, 10%(w/v) dextrin (13 of the dextrose equivalent) as the glycosyl donor, 10%(w/v) xylitor as the glycosyl acceptor, 20mL/h of medium fiow rate, and 6$0^{\circ}C$. The maximum yield of transglycosylated xylitol and productivity were 25% and 7.82 g.L-1.h-1, respectively. The half-life of the immobilized CGTase in a column type packed bed reactor was longer than 30 days.

A material with the same high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) retention profile as authentic ascorbic acid 2-Ο-$\alpha$-glucoside (AA-2G) was detected in kimchi. This material was identified as AA-2G by testing its susceptibility to $\alpha$-glucosidase hydrolysis, the HPLC profile, and through the elementary analysis. Among several strains of bacteria isolated from fermented kimchi, four strains could produce cydodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) which catalyzes the transglucosylation reaction of ascorbic acid. By using starch as the glycosyl donor, AA-2G was produced as the major product through this reaction.

Most of the Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (Gtases) which have been produced from B. subtilis were found to be excreted from the cells during cultivation. Immobilized whole cell CGTase from B. subtilis was prepared by encapsulating the broth solution which had been concentrated ten times with a rotary vacuum evaporator. Cyclization activity of CGTase was reduced by about 10% during the concentrating process, however, its transglycosylation activity, to convert xylitol to glucosyl-xylitol, using dextrin as glucosyl donor, increased by a factor of 3 or 5.

Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) from Bacillus stearothermophilus synthesized vanillin and ethyl vanillin monoglucoside, with a series of its maltooligoglucosides by transglycosylation with dextrin as a donor, and vanillin or ethyl vanillin as an acceptor. The monoglucoside formed from reaction mixture of vanillin or ethyl vanillin by the successive actions of CGTase and Rhizopus glucoamylase was isolated by extraction with n-butanol saturated with water and silica gel column chromatography. The structure of the isolated monoglucoside was identified as vanillin- $\alpha$ -D-glucoside and ethyl vanillin- $\alpha$ -D-glucoside, respectively, by FAB-MS, UV, IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectra and products by hydrolysis with acid, $\alpha$ - and $\beta$ -glucosidases.

Cycloinulooligosaccharide fructanotransferase (CFTase) which produces cyclofructan from inulin was purified 332-fold from a culture broth of Bacillus macerans CFCl. The molecular mass of the CFTase was estimated to be 110 kDa by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration, indicating that the enzyme has a monomer structure. The maximal level of enzyme activity was observed at pH 7.5 and $45^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was stable in the pH range 6.0 to 9.5, and at temperatures up to $45^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The enzyme activity was completely inhibited in the presence of 0.5 mM $Ag^+\;or\;Cu^2+$ ion. None of sucrose (GF), l-kestose (GF2), or nystose (GF3) were found to be substrates for the CFTase, but inulooligosaccharides larger than nystose were attacked by the enzyme. The CFTase catalyzes not only the cyclization as the major reaction, but also disproportionation and coupling reactions involving intermolecular transfructosylation in the same manner as cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) (EC 2.4.1.19).

E. coli에서 B. macerans 유래 cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase)의 활성형 생산에 GroEL/ES chaperone과의 공발현과 저온 배양의 공동작용 효과에 대해 조사하였다. 실험에 사용된 cgt와 groEL/ES 유전자를 발현하는 pTCGTl과 pGroll은 각각 T7 promoter와 Pzt-1 promoter에 의해 조절되고 이들을 E. coli에 도입시켰다. 대수증식기 초기(2 hr)와 대수증식기 중기(3 hr)에 tetrarycline 10 ng/ml 과 IPTG 1 mM을 첨가하여 각각의 유전자를 발현시켰다. CGTase활성과 specific artivity 측정 시 $37^{\circ}C$에서 pTCGTl 단독 발현 보다 $25^{\circ}C$에서 chaperone과 함께 발현시킨 경우 2배나 높은 활성이 측정됐으며, SDS-PACE 분석결과 $37^{\circ}C$에서 단독 발현 시킬경우 20% 정도 가용성 형태로 발현되던 것이 $25^{\circ}C$에서 chaperone과 공발현 시에는 거의 3.5배가 넘는 69%가 가용성으로 전환됨을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같이 분자 chaperone과 $25^{\circ}C$에서의 저온 배양은 E. coli에서 활성형질 가용성 CGTase의 생산 증가에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Formation of a L-Ascorbic Acid 2-O-$\alpha$-glucoside(AA-2G) is a chemically stable dervative of asocrbate that shows a vitamin C acitivity in vitro as well as in vivo. We studied whether ascorbic acid(AA) and AA-2G are formed in baechu kimchi during fermentation at 4 $^{\circ}C$ or 18$^{\circ}C$. To determine the formation of AA and AA-2G during fermentation of kimchi, wheat flour (as a carbhydrate source) added baechu kimchi (WBK) and control baechu kimchi(CBK) were prepared and fermented at 4 $^{\circ}C$ or 18 $^{\circ}C$. A substance like AA-2G was detected by HPLC from WBK fermented at 18 $^{\circ}C$ for 26 days in fall season and confirmed later to be the AA-2G showing distinctive characteristics of heat stability and resistance to ascrobate oxidase catalase. However, none of the kimchi formed AA-2G when the kimchi were fermented under a different temperature condition such as 4 $^{\circ}C$ instead of 18 $^{\circ}C$ or a different season such as summer instead of fall even if they were fermented at 18 $^{\circ}C$. The pH of kimchi was decreased rapidly during the first 3 days. and then decreased slowly after 4 days when the kimchi were fermented at 18 $^{\circ}C$. However, there were slight changes of pH in both CBK and WBK feremented at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 30 $^{\circ}C$ days. Therefore, the AA-2G -forming activity in kimchi seems to be correlated with the formentation temperature, the microorganisms involved in kimchi fermentation and a suitable glycosyl donor for AA as provided by wheat flour in this study.

GTase와 CDase를 함께 분비$\cdot$생산하는 B. stearother-mophilus KJl6 균주의 CDase를 ammonium sulfate 침전, DBAE-cellulose, Sephadex G-100 column chromatogra-phy, 및 FPLC로 수율 7%, 비활성 12.4 units/mg, 정제도 87.6배로 정제된 CDase를 얻었으며 SDS-PAGE 상 단일 band를 확인하였다. 정제된 CDase의 분자량은 약 68,000 dalton 이었고 활성 최적 pH와 온도는 6.0와 55$^{\circ}C$였다. pH 안정성은 5.5~8.5의 범위에서 비교적 안정하였으며, 온도 안정성은 5$0^{\circ}C$에서 2시간까지는 안정하였고, 7$0^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 전처리하여도 80% 이상의 잔존활성을 나타내었다. 효소 활성은 $Cu^{+2}$와 $Hg^{+2}$와 같은 금속이온과 p-chlorome-rcuribenzoate, N-bromosuccinimide, mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol에 의해서 효소활성이 강하게 저해되었다. 기질에 대한 반응 특이성은 $\gamma$ -CD를 가장 잘 분해하였으며, 그 외에 soluble starch나 amylose, amylopectin 등의 기질도 잘 분해하나 이들의 분해속도는 $\gamma$-CD에 비해서는 늦었다. 이들 기질의 최종 분해산물은 maltose였으며, maltose는 거의 분해되지 않았다.
