ABSTRACT
A plethora of di- and oligosaccharides isolated from the natural sources are used in food and pharmaceutical industry. An enzymatic hydrolysis of fungal cell wall ß-glucans is a good alternative to produce the desired oligosaccharides with different functionalities, such as the flavour enhancer gentiobiose. We have previously identified PsGly30A as a potential yeast cell wall degrading ß-1,6-glycosidase. The aim of this study is to characterise the PsGly30A enzyme, a member of the GH30 family, and to evaluate its suitability for the production of gentiobiose from ß-1,6-glucans. An endo-ß-1,6-glucanase PsGly30A encoding gene from Paenibacillus sp. GKG has been cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzyme has been active towards pustulan and yeast ß-glucan, but not on laminarin from the Laminaria digitata, confirming the endo-ß-1,6-glucanase mode of action. The PsGly30A shows the highest activity at pHâ
5.5 and 50 °C. The specific activity of PsGly30A on pustulan (1262±82â
U/mg) is among the highest reported for GH30 ß-1,6-glycosidases. Moreover, gentiobiose is the major reaction product when pustulan, yeast ß-glucan or yeast cell walls have been used as a substrate. Therefore, PsGly30A is a promising catalyst for valorisation of the yeast-related by-products.
