    Abstract:
    The γ-cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (γ-CGTase) from Evansella caseinilytica was expressed on the cell surface of E. coli using pAIDA-I autotransporter and was further utilized in the conversion of starch to γ-cyclodextrins (CDs). Maximum cyclization activity of 2.28 ± 0.46 U/g biomass was achieved after 3 h of induction using 0.1 mM IPTG at 37 ºC. Surface expression of γ-CGTase was confirmed using flow cytometry employing a FITC-conjugated anti-HIS antibody. Biochemical characterization of surface-displayed γ-CGTase revealed optima at pH 10.0 and 40 ºC along with a t1/2 of 24.75 min at 50ºC. The Km and Vmax values on soluble potato starch were 10.94 mg/ml and 4.33 µmoles min-1 g-1 DCW respectively, and the activation energy was calculated to be 89.8 kJ/mol. The surface displayed γ-CGTase was further utilized for CD production and specifically, γ-CD conversion was obtained. The maximum conversion was achieved at 50 ºC, pH 9.0 using soluble potato starch (2.5%; w/v) taking a final enzyme concentration of 0.6 U/g starch. The surface-displayed γ-CGTase was able to convert soluble potato starch (2.5%) into γ-CDs with a 72.7% specific yield and no other peaks corresponding to α- and β-CDs were observed on HPLC. The enzyme was found to be ~100% operationally stable for up to 2 consecutive cycles of 24 h, with > 75% storage stability at - 20 ºC even after 7 days.
