摘要
The expression of the gene encoding a thermostable a-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) (optimal activity at 100 degrees C) from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus woesei in the mesophilic hosts Escherichia coli and Halomonas elongata resulted in the formation of insoluble aggregates. More than 85% of the recombinant enzyme was present within the cells as insoluble but catalytically active aggregates. The recombinant alpha-amylase was purified to homogeneity in a single step by hydrophobic interaction chromatography on a phenyl superose column after solubilization of the enzyme under nondenaturing conditions. The enzyme was purified 258-fold with a final yield of 54%. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
