Abstract EN
Geobacillus stearothermophilus SR74 is a locally isolated thermophilic bacteria producing thermostable and thermoactive α-amylase.
Increased production and commercialization of thermostable α-amylase strongly warrant the need of a suitable expression system.
In this study, the gene encoding the thermostable α-amylase in G.
stearothermophilus SR74 was amplified, sequenced, and subcloned into P.
pastoris GS115 strain under the control of a methanol inducible promoter, alcohol oxidase (AOX).
Methanol induced recombinant expression and secretion of the protein resulted in high levels of extracellular amylase production.
YPTM medium supplemented with methanol (1% v/v) was the best medium and once optimized, the maximum recombinant α-amylase SR74 achieved in shake flask was 28.6 U mL−1 at 120 h after induction.
The recombinant 59 kDa α-amylase SR74 was purified 1.9-fold using affinity chromatography with a product yield of 52.6% and a specific activity of 151.8 U mg−1.
The optimum pH of α-amylase SR74 was 7.0 and the enzyme was stable between pH 6.0–8.0.
The purified enzyme was thermostable and thermoactive, exhibiting maximum activity at 65°C with a half-life (t1/2) of 88 min at 60°C.
In conclusion, thermostable α-amylase SR74 from G.
stearothermophilus SR74 would be beneficial for industrial applications, especially in liquefying saccrification.
