  • Although arabinose isomerase (E.C. 5.3.1.4), a commercial enzyme for edible tagatose bioconversion, can be expressed in an Escherichia coli system, this expression system might leave noxious by-products in food. To develop an eligible tagatose bioconversion with food-safe system, we compared the tagatose production activity of immobilized arabinose isomerase expressed in Bacillus subtilis (a host generally recognized as safe) with that of the enzyme expressed in E. coli. A 48% increase in tagatose production (4.3 g tagatose/L at $69.4\;mg/L{\cdot}hr$) was found using the B. subtilis-expressed immobilized enzyme system, compared to the E. coli-expressed enzyme system (2.9 g tagatose/L). The increased productivity with safety of the B. subtilis-expressed arabinose isomerase suggests that it is a more eligible candidate for commercial tagatose production.

  • D-Tagatose is a potential bulking agent in food as a non-calorific sweetener. To produce D-tagatose from cheaper resources, plasmids harboring the L-arabinose isomerase gene (araA) from Escherichia coli was constructed because L-arabinose isomerase was previously suggested as an enzyme that mediates the bioconversion of galactose to tagatose as well as that of arabinose to ribulose. In the cultures of recombinant E.coli with pTC101, which harboring araA of E.coli, tagatose was produced from galactose in 9.9 % yield. The enzyme extract of E.coli containing pTC101 also converted galactose into tagatose in 96.4 % yield. For the economic production of D-tagatose, an L-arabinose isomerase of E.coli was immobilized using covalent binding on agarose. While the free L-arabinose isomerase produced tagatose with the rate of 0.48 mg/U$.$day, the immobilized one stably converted galactose into average 7.5 g/l$.$day of tagatose during 7 days with higher productivity of 0.87 mg/U$.$day. In the scaled up immobilized enzyme system, 99.9 g/l of tagatose was produced from galactose with 20 % equilibrium in 48 hrs. The process was stably repeated additional 2 times with tagatose production of 104.1 and 103.5 g/l.

  • 희소당(Rare Sugars)은 국제희소당학회(International Society of Rare Sugars, ISRS)에 의해 지구상에 극히 소량 존재하는 단당류 또는 단당 유도체로서 정의되어 있으며, 희소당이 보유하고 있는 저칼로리, 항암, 항염증 및 항산화와 같은 유용한 생리활성으로 인해 현대산업분야에서 높은 주목을 받고 있는 차세대 기능성 신소재이다. 희소당은 자연계에 존재의 희소성으로 인해 희소당의 원활한 공급을 위한 희소당 생산 연구는 무엇보다도 중요한 연구로서 인식되어져 있다. 일반적으로 희소당은 화학적 방법과 미생물 유래 효소를 이용한 생물학적 방법으로 생산이 가능한데, 친환경적이며 생산공정도 안전한 생물학적 방법이 최근에 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 현재까지 희소당은 약 50종류 이상이 보고되어져 있는데 저칼로리, 항산화, 설탕 유사 감도 및 감미 특성으로부터 D-Allulose, D-Allose, 그리고 D-Tagatose가 특히 많은 주목을 받고 있는 희소당으로서 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 식품산업 및 의약산업을 비롯하여 다양한 산업분야에서 향 후 높은 활용성이 기대되는 D-Allulose, D-Allose, 그리고 D-Tagatose에 대한 미생물 유래 효소를 이용한 생물전환 생산에 대하여 보고를 하고자 한다.
