Article Abstract

Sucrose isomerase is an important food enzyme that catalyzes the isomerization of sucrose into isomaltulose, a functional sugar widely used in food industry, while the production level of sucrose isomerase in food safe host strains was much lower than industrial requirement. Bacillus subtilis is an excellent host strain for recombinant protein expression, which owns the characteristics of powerful secretory capability and generally recognized as safe state. In this study, the expression of sucrose isomerase in B. subtilis was improved through expression element optimization and fermentation optimization. Firstly, the extracellular chaperone PrsA was overexpressed to enhance extracellular folding of sucrose isomerase, which improved the recombinant expression level by 80.02%. Then, the protein synthesis level was optimized through promoter screening, improving the recombinant expression level by 60.40%. On the basis of strain modification, the fermentation conditions including nitrogen source, carbon source, metal ion, pH and temperature were optimized successively in shake-flask. Finally, the 3 L bioreactor cultivation condition was optimized and yielding a sucrose isomerase activity of 862.86 U/mL, the highest level among the food safety strains. This study provides an effective strategy to improve the expression level of food enzymes in B. subtilis.

Article Synopsis
  • Sucrose isomerase (SIase) converts sucrose into isomaltulose, a functional sugar needed in the food industry, but its production is limited by the absence of efficient expression systems.
  • This study successfully used the CRISPR/Cas9 method to integrate SIase expression cassettes into the Bacillus subtilis genome without antibiotics, resulting in strains that can produce SIase effectively.
  • The engineered strains achieved high extracellular SIase activity and could convert sucrose to isomaltulose with a maximum yield of 94.6%, paving the way for more practical industrial applications.

Sucrose isomerase (SIase) catalyzes the hydrolysis and isomerization of sucrose into isomaltulose, a functional sugar extensively used in the food industry. However, the lack of safe and efficient heterologous expression systems for SIase has constrained its production and application. In this study, an engineered Bacillus subtilis strain for antibiotic-free SIase production was developed via a food-grade expression system.

Isomaltulose is a novel sweetener and is considered healthier than the common sugars, such as sucrose or glucose. It has been internationally recognized as a safe food product and holds vast potential in pharmaceutical and food industries. Sucrose isomerase is commonly used to produce isomaltulose from the substrate sucrose in vitro and in vivo.

Background: Isomaltulose is a 'generally recognized as safe' ingredient and is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. The exploration and development of efficient technologies is essential for enhancing isomaltulose yield.

Results: In the present study, a simple and efficient surface display platform mediated by a non-yeast signal peptide was developed in Yarrowia lipolytica and utilized to efficiently produce isomaltulose from sucrose.
