Increased production of Bacillus keratinase by chromosomal integration of multiple copies of the kerA gene

To increase the production of keratinase, stable strains of Bacillus licheniformis carrying multiple keratinase gene copies in the chromosome were developed. Integrative vectors carrying kerA with or without P43-promoter were constructed and subcloned into B. licheniformis T399D and Bacillus subtilis DB104. In T399D, multiple copies of kerA integration into the chromosome were identified and determined by Southern blot. The optimal integration of kerA was found in the range of 3-5 copies. Higher integration of gene copies (>5) caused reduced processing and secretion of the extracellular keratinase. In DB104, kerA was cloned in the plasmid, not integrated into the chromosome. The strong constitutive promoter P43 not only increased the keratinase production in plasmid-based expression in DB104 but also improved the enzyme yield of the integrants of T399D. New strains were able to enhance cell growth and enzyme yield at higher concentrations of medium substrate. When they were grown in either soy or feather medium, the keratinase activity was stable and improved by about 4-6 times.     

Secretion of the alpha-galactosidase from Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (guar) by Bacillus subtilis

A fusion of DNA sequences encoding the SPO2 promoter, the alpha-amylase signal sequence from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, and the mature part of the alpha-galactosidase from Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (guar) was constructed on a Bacillus subtilis multicopy vector. Bacillus cells of the protease-deficient strain DB104 harboring this vector produced and secreted the plant enzyme alpha-galactosidase up to levels of 1,700 U/liter. A growth medium suppressing the residual proteolytic activity of strain DB104 was used to reach these levels in a fermentor. Purification of the secreted product followed by NH2-terminal amino acid sequencing showed that the alpha-amylase signal sequence had been processed correctly. The molecular mass of the product estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was slightly lower than that of the plant purified enzyme, which is most likely due to glycosylation of the latter. The alpha-galactosidase product was active both on the artificial substrate para-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside and on the galactomannan substrate, guar gum. The activity of this Bacillus sp.-produced enzyme was similar to that of the glycosylated enzyme purified from guar seeds, indicating that glycosylation has no essential function for enzyme activity.
