Abstract
β-1,3-1,4-Glucanase has been broadly used in feed and brewing industries. According to the codon bias of Pichia pastoris, the Bacillus subtilis MA139 β-1,3-1,4-glucanase gene was de novo synthesized and expressed in P. pastoris X-33 strain under the control of the alcohol oxidase 1 promoter. In a 10-L fermentor, the β-1,3-1,4-glucanase was overexpressed with a yield of 15,000 U/mL by methanol induction for 96 h. The recombinant β-1,3-1,4-glucanase exhibited optimal activity at 40°C and pH 6.4. The activity of the recombinant β-1,3-1,4-glucanase was not significantly affected by various metal ions and chemical reagents. To our knowledge, the expression of this β-1,3-1,4-glucanase from Bacillus sp. in P. pastoris is in relatively high level compared to previous reports. These biochemical characteristics suggest that the recombinant β-1,3-1,4-glucanase has a prospective application in feed and brewing industries.
