β¦ Synopsis
The glucoamylase gene from lactobacillus amylovorus was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. A genomic DNA library from Laclobacillus amylovorus was prepared by partially digesting genomic DNA with EC&I and ligating random fragments to the EcoRl digested cloning vector, pZErO-I .I. Three E. co/i transformants expressing glucoamylase were identified using a probe prepared from the STAP glucoamylase gene from Saccharomyces cerewisiae var. diasfaticus. The physical maps of the recombinant plasmids were constructed. These plasmids contained inserts of about 5.2 Kb, 5.9 Kb and 6.4 Kb respectively. Temperature and pH optima of 45Β°C and 6.0, respectively, were obtained for both recombinant and purified wild type glucoamylases.
Also, the enzymes were found to be thermolabile at temperatures above 50Β°C.
