The production of inulooligosaccharides from inulin by a dual endoinulinase system of Pseudomonas sp and Xanthomonas sp. was investigated the optimum conditions for a dual endoinulinase reaction were as follows : pH,5.8; temperature, $50^{\circ}C$; substrate concentration, 50 g/l; enzyme ratio, 3:1 as Xanthomonas endoinulinase to Pseudomonas endoinulinase. Under optimum conditions, the maximum yield of oligosaccharides was 90.5% in total sugar basis by dual endoinulinase system

The endoinulinase gene (inu, 2.733 kb, EC 3.2.1.7) from Paenibacillus polymyxa was subcloned into an Escherichia coli-yeast shuttle vector with GALl promoter for the expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The constructed plasmid, pYGENIU27 (8.6 kb) was introduced into S. cerevisiae SEY2102 cell and then the yeast transformant was selected on the synthetic defined media lacking uracil and on the inulin-containing media. The recombinant endoinulinase was predominantly localized in the periplasmic space of the yeast cell. The total activity of the endoinulinase reached 1.81 unit/ml by cultivation of yeast transformant on YPDG medium. The optimized conditions determined for the inulooligosaccharides (IOSs) production from inulin were as follows; pH, 8.0; reaction temperature, $45^{\circ}C$; inulin source, Jerusalem artichoke. Enzyme activity was stably maintained up to the pH of 10.0. Under the optimized condition and with endoinulinase of 36 unit/g-inulin, IOSs started to be produced after 10 min of enzymatic reaction. By the reaction with inulin, IOSs consisting of inulobiose (F2), inulotriose (F3), and inulotetraose (F4) were produced and F3 was the major product. Consequently, these data would be used as a fundamental parameters for the production of functional sweetener IOSs from inulin by recombinant yeast endoinulinase.

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).

The crude enzyme prepared from the culture supernantant of Arthrobacter sp. S37 was purified by Phenyl Toyopearl column chromatography. Six endo-inulinases were detected by activity staining on native PAGE and named Inu I to Inu VI. Endo-inulinase were further purified by DEAE cellulose column chromatography and band slicing. Inu II~VI produced mainly inulotriose (F3) and inulotetraose (F4) as well as a small amount of inulobiose (F2) and fructose in contrast to Inu I producing F3, F4 and F5 from inulin. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of native and six CNBr-cleaved fragment of Inu VI were determined. No homology was found in amino acid sequences between Inu VI and other fructan hydrolase including invertase reported.

The endoinulinase gene (inu1) from Pseudomonas mucidolens was expressed on the cell surface of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by fusing with Aga2p linked to the membrane anchored protein, Aga1p. The inu1 gene of P. mucidolens was subcloned into the surface display vector, pCTcon (GAL1 promoter). The constructed plasmid, pCTENIU (8.5kb), was then introduced to S. cerevisiae EBY100 cells and the yeast transformants selected on synthetic defined media lacking uracil and inulin-containing media. The inu1 gene under the control of the GAL1 promoter was successfully expressed in the yeast transformants, and the surface display of endoinulinase confirmed by immunofluorescence microscopy, along with its enzymatic ability to form inulooligosaccharides (IOSs) from inulin. The total endoinulinase activity reached about 2.31 units/ml when the yeast transform ants were cultivated on a YPDG medium. To efficiently hydrolyze the inulin, various reaction conditions were examined, including the pH, temperature, and inulin source. The optimized conditions were then determined as follows: pH, 7.0; temperature, $50^{\circ}C$; inulin source, Jerusalem artichoke. Under the optimized condition and 46 units of endoinulinase per g of inulin, IOSs started to be produced after 10 min of enzymatic reaction. The highest yield, 71.2% of IOSs, was achieved after 30 h of reaction without any significant loss of the initial enzyme activity. As a result of the reaction with inulin, IOSs consisting of inulobiose (F2), inulotriose (F3), inulotetraose (F4), and inulopentaose (F5) were produced, and F4 was the major product.
