A beta-amylase-overproducing mutant of Clostridium thermosulfurogenes was grown in continuous culture on soluble starch to produce thermostable beta-amylase. Enzyme productivity was reasonably stable over periods of weeks to months. The pH and temperature optima for beta-amylase production were pH 6.0 and 60 degrees C, respectively. Enzyme concentration was maximized by increasing biomass concentration by using high substrate concentrations and by maintaining a low growth rate. beta-Amylase concentration reached 90 U ml at a dilution rate of 0.07 h in a 3% starch medium. A further increase in enzyme activity levels was limited by acetic acid inhibition of growth and low beta-amylase productivity at low growth rates.
一株产β-淀粉酶的高温梭菌突变株在连续培养条件下,以可溶性淀粉为底物生产热稳定的β-淀粉酶。在数周到数月的时间内,酶的产率保持相对稳定。β-淀粉酶生产的最适 pH 值和温度分别为 6.0 和 60°C。通过使用高底物浓度和保持低生长速率来增加生物量浓度,从而使酶浓度最大化。在 3%淀粉培养基中,稀释率为 0.07 h 时,β-淀粉酶浓度达到 90 U/ml。由于乙酸对生长的抑制作用以及低生长速率下β-淀粉酶产率低,酶活水平的进一步提高受到限制。
