Trehalose synthase (TreS) is considered to be a potential biocatalyst for trehalose production. We aimed to scale-up produce the TreS protein in Escherichia coli and further investigate the bioconversion capacity of TreS. The treS gene from Pseudomonas putida KT2440 was amplified and expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The recombinant TreS showed a molecular mass of 67 kDa. Activity analysis suggested that TreS had optimal activity at a temperature of 55 °C, a pH of 7.4, with a substrate concentration of 30%. High-pressure liquid chromatography results indicated that this enzyme had the ability to catalyze 59% maltose into trehalose, with about 5.1% glucose as by-product. Purification analysis showed that trehalose crystals with a purity of 98% were obtained by cooling trehalose solution. The TreS from P. putida KT2440 might be a candidate for trehalose production. Further study is needed to improve the trehalose conversion rate.

SUMMARYThe study of Escherichia coli and its plasmids and bacteriophages has provided a vast body of genetical information, much of it relevant to the whole of biology. This was true even before the development of the new techniques, for cloning and analysing DNA, that have revolutionized biological research during the past decade. Thousands of millions of dollars are now invested in industrial uses of these techniques, which all depend on discoveries made in the course of academic research on E. coli. Much of the background of knowledge necessary for the cloning and expression of genetically engineered information, as well as the techniques themselves, came from work with this organism.
