TL;DR
This paper presents a scalable and cost-effective method to produce D-allulose 3-epimerase, an enzyme used to convert fructose into the rare sugar D-allulose, using auto-induction in E. coli cultures.
Contribution
The study introduces an auto-induction approach using lactose in defined media for scalable and economical DAEase production in E. coli.
Findings
Optimal concentrations of lactose, glucose, and glycerol were determined for maximum DAEase expression.
Fermentor-scale optimization achieved 43 mg of pure DAEase per liter of culture.
The auto-induction strategy showed potential for industrial-scale DAEase production.
Abstract
D-Allulose 3-epimerase (DAEase) is the key enzyme catalyzing D-fructose to catalyze into D-allulose, a rare sugar in foods, which has lately drawn increasing worldwide attention owing to its possible health advantages and application as a substitute sucrose. This work focused on the development of an economical, scalable production method of DAEase by using the Escherichia coli BL21 star™ (DE3) as host expression. The research work aims to optimize the production of the enzyme through an auto-induction strategy in chemically defined media by using lactose as a natural inducer, thereby overcoming various limitations of conventional IPTG induction methods. The optimal concentration of lactose, glucose, and glycerol for maximum expression of DAEase was determined to be 1.5%, 0.125%, and 1.5%, respectively. Fermentor-scale optimization yielded a maximum amount of this enzyme with 5%…
