Characterization and Secretory Expression of a Thermostable Tannase from Aureobasidium melanogenum T9: Potential Candidate for Food and Agricultural Industries.

ABSTRACT: Being a key industrial enzyme, tannase is extensively applied in various fields. Despite the characterizations of a large number of tannases, there are hardly a few tannases with exceptional thermostability. In this detailed study, a tannase-encoding gene named tanA was identified from Aureobasidium melanogenum T9 and heterologously expressed in Yarrowia lipolytica host of food grade. The purified tannase TanA with a molecular weight of above 63.0 kDa displayed a specific activity of 941.4 U/mg. Moreover, TanA showed optimum activity at 60°C and pH 6.0. Interestingly, TanA exhibited up to 61.3% activity after incubation for 12 h at 55°C, signifying its thermophilic property and distinguished thermostability. Additionally, TanA was a multifunctional tannase with high sp
