The effect of various additives on the thermostability of Bacillus sp. cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) was investigated. CaCl$_2$, starch, and glycerol had a positive effect on the thermostability of the CGTase, which was very stable for 6 months with added starch (5%, w/v) and CaCl$_2$(0.05 M) at 30$^{\circ}C$.

Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase from B. stearothermophilus KJ16 that can produce both cyclodextrin glucanotransferase and cyclodextrinase was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, Sephadex G-100 chromatography, and FPLC. The molecular weight of the purifice enzyme was about 65,000 dalton by SDS-PAGE. The optimal pH and temperature were 6.0 and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme was stable at $50^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr and in the pH range of 5.5 and 8.5. Mercaptoethanol and dithiothreitol inhibited the enzyme activity strongly. The enzyme produced 60% cyclodextrin(CD) from 5% soluble starch with the $^{\alpha}$, $^{\beta}$, $^{\gamma}$-CD ratio of 42:46:12. Amylopectin was the most suitable substrate with 67% conversion to CD.

Mechanism of the cyclodextrin (CD) production reaction by cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) using swollen extrusion starch as substrate was investigated emphasizing the structural features of starch granule. The degree of gelatinization was identified to be the most representative structural characteristic of swollen starch. The most suitable degree of gelatinization of swollen starch for CD production was around 63.52%. The structural transformation of starch granule during enzyme reaction was also followed by measuring the changes of the degree of gelatinization, microcrystallinity, and accessible and inaccessible portion to CGTase action of residual swollen starch. The adsorption phenomenon of CGTase to swollen starch was also examined under various conditions. The inhibition mechanism of CGTase by various CDs was identified to be competitive, most severely by a-CD. The mechanism elucidated will be used for development of a kinetic model describes CD production reaction in heterogeneous enzyme reaction system utilizing swollen extrusion starch.

Ethylene glycol, glycerol, sorbitol 그리고 sucrose가 Bacillus stearothermophilus가 생산하는 cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(CGYase)의 열안정성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Glycerol, sorbitol 그리고 sucrose가 CGTase의 열안정성에 효과가 있었다. 이 효과는 첨가물의 농도와 밀접한 관계가 있었다. n-Butanol, 1,4-dioxane그리고 n-octane과 같은 유기 용매에서 CGTase의 열안정성을 조사하였다. 1,4-dioxane 과 n-octane은 CGTase의 열안정성을 증가시켰다. 특히, n-octane에서 CGTase를 $75^{\circ}C$에서 90분간 정치시킨 후에도 원래 효소활성의 81를 유지하였다.

Bacillus stearothermophilus의 mutant가 생산하는 cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(CGTase)를 affinity chromatography법을 이용하여 정제하였다. 이 CGTase의 회수율은 95%이었고 specific activity는 26.2U/mg protein에서 485.5U/mg protein으로 증가하였다. 정제된 CGTase는 SDS-polyacrylamide gel 전기영동 결과 단일 band로 나타났다. CGTase는 affinity chromatography를 이용하여 one-step으로 정제할 수 있었다.

Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase 생산균주 선발배지를 이용하여 국내 토양으로부터 CGTase 활성이 우수한 Bacillus sp. E1균주를 분리하였다. FPLC를 이용하여 gel filtration과 anion exchange column chromatography를 한 결과 순수 정제된 단일 단백질을 얻을 수 있었으며, 정제된 효소의 최적 작용 pH 범위는 6에서 8까지 였고, 온도는 $60^{\circ}C$에서 최적을 나타냈다. 정제된 단백질의 분자량은 114,000, 등전점은 4.3이었다. 생성된 cyclodextrin은 $\beta$와 $\gamma$-cyclodextrin이 주였으며, 특이하게도 $\alpha$-cyclodextrin은 거의 생성되지 않았다. 작용 후 25시간 후 최대의 $\beta$-cyclodextrin이 생성되었으며, 이때 $\beta$-cyclodextrin과 $\gamma$-cyclodextrin의 생성비율은 7:1이었다.

An alkalophilic microorganism for overproduction of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) was newly isolated from hot-water spring soil, and identified as Bacillus firmus var. alkalophilus H609. The strain maintained stability during preservation and cultivation for the enzyme production, and produced significant amount of CGTase corresponding to the volumetric activity of 75 units/mL at 37C, initial pH of 11.2, and after 40 hours. The strain excreted several different proteins showing CGTase activity that catalyzed the formation of mainly beta-and Gamma-type cyclodextrin (ratio of 7:1) from soluble starch without accumulation of alpha-type. Other enzymatic properties were also investigated.

Transglycosylation reaction of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) was analyzed in the attrition coupled heterogeneous reaction system using raw starch as a donor` and mono-, di-saccharide, and glycoside as acceptors. For transglycosylation reaction of stevioside, the transglycosylation rate was similar and the transglycosylation yield was increased compare with conventional process using liquefied starch as the donor. Also the accumulation of maltooligosaccharides in reaction mixture was minimized.

The cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(CGTase) gene of Bacillus macerans was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the recombinant CGTase was partially purified from the yeast culture supernatant. The optimal pH and temperature of the CGTase were found to be 6.0 and 5$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The pH and temperature stabilities of the recombinant enzyme were significantly enhanced and the half life at 55$^{\circ}C$ was about 60 hr. When the recombinant CGTase was reacted with 5% soluble starch, the conversion yield of total cyclodextrin (CD) from starch was estimated to be 41% at 48 hr, whereas the wild type enzyme showed the yield of 12%. This improvement of conversion yield and thermal stability of CGTase may be useful for the development of low-cost CD production process.
