Abstract

In this paper, the cgt gene encoding cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) from Bacillus stearothermophilus was cloned into pWB980 plasmid for extracellular expression in Bacillus subtilis SCK6. Through adding a six-histidine affinity tag fused to the C-terminus, the recombinant CGTase could be purified by nickel ion affinity chromatography, and its molecular weight was approximately 76 kDa on SDS-PAGE. Then, the enzymatic properties were determined, and results were as follows: the optimum temperature and pH were identified as 40 ℃ and pH 5.0, respectively. CGTase had good tolerance to metal ions of Mn2+, Ca2+, and Mg2+. The enzyme activity was activated by Na+, Al3+, Fe3+, and Ni+, and it was remarkably inhibited by Cu2+ and Zn2+. To improve the aqueous solubility of rutin, CGTase was used to catalyze the transglycosylation reaction, and the conversion rate could reach as high as 80.13% under optimal conditions. Furthermore, the reaction mixture was treated with glucoamylase and microporous adsorbent resin. The yield of glycosyl-rutin was 56.1%, and its purity was 74.3%, which further improved the value of the product.
