title: Purification and characterization of a cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase from Paenibacillus campinasensis strain H69-3.
abstract: A cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase (E.C. 2.4.1.19) from a newly isolated alkalophilic and moderately thermophilic Paenibacillus campinasensis strain H69-3 was purified as a homogeneous protein from culture supernatant. Cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase was produced during submerged fermentation at 45 degrees C and purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G50 ion exchange using a Q-Sepharose column and ion exchange using a Mono-Q column. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was 70 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the pI was 5.3. The optimum pH for enzyme activity was 6.5, and it was stable in the pH range 6.0-11.5. The optimum temperature was 65 degrees C at pH 6.5, and it was thermally stable up to 60 degrees C without substrate during 1 h in the presence of 10 mM CaCl(2). The enzyme activity increased in the presence of Co(2+), Ba(2+), and Mn(2+). Using maltodextrin as substrate, the K(m) and K(cat) were 1.65 mg/mL and 347.9 micromol/mg x min, respectively.
