Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(CGTase) derived from Bacillus macerans was immobilized by (1) covalent linkage on chitosan and chitin with glutaraldehyde, (2) adsorption on DEAE-cellulose and Amberite IRA 900 after succinylation, and (3) entrapment on alginate and polyacrylamide by cross linking. Adsorption on Amberite IRA 900 and covalent linking on chitosan were identified to be the most suitable immobilization methods considering the yield of activity and stability of immobilized CGTase. The enzymatic properties of immobilized CGTase were investigated and compared with those of the soluble CGTase. Thermal stability of CGTase immobilized on chitosan was increased from 50 to $55^{\circ}C$, and the optimum temperature of CGTase immobilized on Amberite IRA 900 was shifted from 55 to $50^{\circ}C$. The effect of molecular size of soluble starch (substrate) on immobilized CGTase investigated using partially liquefied substrates with different dextrose equivalent(DE). Cyclodextrin(CD) conversion yield augmented according to the increase of DE level for immobilized CGTase on Amberite IRA 900. CD conversion yield of partially cyclized starch with soluble CGTase was higher compared with liquefied one with ${\alpha}-amylase$.

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.

The functional characteristics of a ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) excreted from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. BL-31 that is highly specific for the intermolecular transglycosylation of bioflavonoids were investigated. The new ${\beta}$-CGTase showed high specificities for glycosyl acceptor bioflavonoids, including naringin, rutin, and hesperidin, and especially naringin. The transglycosylation of naringin into glycosyl naringin was then carried out under the conditions of 80 units of CGTase per gram of maltodextrin, 5 g/l of naringin, 25 g/l of maltodextrin, and 1 mM $Mn^{2+}$ ion at $40^{\circ}C$ for 6 h, resulting in a high conversion yield of 92.1%.

For the continuous production of transglucosylated steviosides, cyclodextrin glucanotransferase from Bacillus macerans was immobilized onto Diaion HPA 75 (styrene-divinylbenzene resin) that was screened from ion exchange resins, synthetic adsorbents and chitosan derivatives. The parameters influencing enzyme immobilization were examined in order to maximize the activity of immobilized enzyme. The optimum conditions for immobilization turned out to be: contact time 2 hr at 30$circ$C, pH 6$sim$9, and enzyme loading 20mg protein/g resin at 4.4 Os/Kg as osmolarity. Competing with other molecules having low molecular weight, enzyme was immobilized reversibly. The activity of immobilized enzyme was as high as 180U/g resin when the diafiltrated solution of stock enzyme was used. The optimum conditions for transglucosylation were as follows: pH 6.0, temperature 50$circ$C, 30% substrate solution composed of 15% stevioside mixture and 15% dextrin of which value of dextrose equivalent was about 9.0.

토양에서 분리한 Bacillus sp. I-5의 cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(CGTase)는 ${\beta}-$ 및 ${\gamma}-cyclodextrin(CD)$를 주로 생성하는 효소로서 최적 반응조건은 pH 8.0, $50^{\circ}C$에서 최적 반응이었다. 생성되는 CD의 조성비는 buffer 용액에 따라 영향을 받았으며 sodium acetate의 농도를 200mM로 하였을 때 ${\gamma}-CD$의 생성은 35% 가량 증가하였다. 기질인 가용성 전분의 DE value에 따라 CD의 생성이 달라져 $3.5{\sim}6.0$범위의 DE value의 전분을 기질로 사용하였을 때 CD이 가장 많이 생성되었다. CD을 연속적으로 생산하기 위하여 CGTase를 가역적으로 용해-침전되는 담체인 hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate에 고정화하였고 고정화된 CGTase는 pH 7.5에서 물에 용해되고 pH 6.0에서 쉽게 침전되는 특성을 나타내었다. CD의 연속적 생산은 고정화된 CGTase에 의한 CD의 생산, 반응하지 않은 기질을 glucose로 분해, glucose를 알코올로 발효시키는 단계로 하는 효소반응기를 개발하여 최종적으로 CD 혼합액과 에탄올이 생성되도록 하였다. 10%의 가용성 전분으로부터 생산된 전체 CD의 양은 3.65g이었다.

The cuclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) gene of Bacillus macerans was subcloned at the downstream of yeast ADH1 promoter, and then the resulting plasmid pVT-CGTM(9.15 kb) was introduced into the yeast host strain, Saccharomyces cerevisias 2805. The transformed yeast, S. cerevisiae 2805/pVT-CGTM, showed the starch-hydrolyzing activity on the starch-azure plate. The optimal conditions for the CGTase expression were found to be 2% dextrose, initial pH5.5, 3$0^{\circ}C$, and 48hr cultivation. Under this condition, the extracellular CGTase activity reached at 0.53 U/mL, whereas the intracellular activity was about 0.03U/mL. This result indicates that the signal peptide of Bacillus CGTase functioned well in S. cerevisiae.

Bacillus subtilis NAl/pKBl으로부터 생산된 cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase)는 cyclodextrin (CD)의 생산에 이용되었으며, 이에 사용된 CGTase는 ion-exchange chromatography와 gel filtration chromatography에 의해 정제되었다. 정제된 CGTase는 pH 6.0-7.0 범위, 60-$70^{\circ}C$에서 최대 활성을 나타내었으며, 다양한 이온결합성 고정화 담체를 이용하여 정제 효소의 고정화를 실시한 결과, 강염기성 음이온교환수지인 Amberlite IRA-900이 가장 우수한 고정화 효율을 나타내었다. 고정화된 효소는 pH 6.0, $60^{\circ}C$에서 최대 활성을 나타내었고, 그 활성이 약 1개월간 유지되어 cyclodextrin을 생산하기 위한 연속반응기내에서 장기간 사용이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 CGTase 생산성이 높은 균주인 Bacillus sp.를 자연계에서 분리하였고 이 균주의 특성, 분비효소의 특성, 효의 생산조건 및 효소이용 가능성에 대한 기초연구를 실시하였다. 분리균주는 운동성이 있는 내성포자형성 간균이었고 분비효소의 최적작용조건은 pH 6.0, 45$^{\circ}C$이며 pH 6-10 범위에서 안정하였다. 효소생산조건은 탄소원으로 corn starch 1%, 질소원으로서 corn steep liquor 5%, urea 0.1%, ammonium sulfate 0.25%를 동시에 첨가하는 것이 가장 양호하였으며 본 생산균을 30$\ell$ jar fermentor로 3$0^{\circ}C$, 200rpm, 0.6vvm에서 60시간 정도 배양하였을 때 최대의 효소 생산력을 나타내었다. 또한 본 효소를 이용하여 stevioside를 acceptor로 하고 전분가수분해물을 donor로 하여 당전이반응을 실시한 결과 상당한 전이효과가 나타났으므로 기타 전이제품 및 cyclodextrin 생산에 응용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Extracellular cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) from Paenibacillus sp. JK-12 was purified through sev-eral purification steps consisting of ammonium sulfate precipitation and chromatographies on DEAE-sephadex A-50 and Mono QIM HR5/5. The purified CGTase exhibited a single band on SDS-PAGE and was estimated to be approximately 82 kDa. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was 7.2 as determined by isoelectric focusing. The CGTase from Paenibacillus sp. JK-12 had a transglucosylation activity at the C-2 position of L-ascorbic acid. The optimum pH and temperature for the CGTase activity were 8.0 and 5$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme activity was stable from pH 6.0 to 9.() and at temperatures up to 55$^{\circ}C$ at pB 8.0, having 80% residual activity. The activity of the CGTase was strongly resistant to metals such as A $g^{+}$ and $Ba^{2+}$ but slightly inhibited by H $g^{+}$, N $i^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$. The enzymeproduced $\alpha$ -cyclodextrin ($\alpha$-CD) and $\beta$-CD as the main products from starch, but not ${\gamma}$-CD.X>-CD.

A plasmid vector was constructed for the expression and secretion of Bacillus macerans cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) in Bacillus subtilis. The vector, pUBACGT, was composed of the ribosome-binding sequence, signal sequence, and cgt gene from B. macerans under the control of amyR2, the promoter of amyE gene coding for $\alpha$-amylase from B. subtilis var. natto. Bacillus subtilis LKS88, a mutant strain lacking genes for an amylase and two proteases, was used as a host for the transformation of the plasmid vector. The transformants were selected on kanamycin-containing Luria-Bertani plates. The starch hydrolyzing activity was observed on the starch-containing plates by the iodine method and cyclodextrin-forming activity was detected in the culture medium. A SDS-PAGE analysis showed that most of the expressed CGTase in the recombinant B. subtilis was secreted into the medium at a high expression level.
