Insights into the transglucosylation activity of α-glucosidase from Schwanniomyces occidentalis.

ABSTRACT: The α-glucosidase from Schwanniomyces occidentalis (GAM1p) was expressed in Komagataella phaffii to about 70 mg/L, and its transferase activity studied in detail. Several isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOS) were formed using 200 g/L maltose. The major production of IMOS (81.3 g/L) was obtained when 98% maltose was hydrolysed, of which 34.8 g/L corresponded to isomaltose, 26.9 g/L to isomaltotriose, and 19.6 g/L to panose. The addition of glucose shifted the IMOS synthesis towards products containing exclusively α(1 → 6)-linkages, increasing the production of isomaltose and isomaltotriose about 2-4 fold, enabling the formation of isomaltotetraose, and inhibiting that of panose to about 12 times. In addition, the potential of this enzyme to glycosylate 12 possible hydroxylated acceptors, includi
