| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed ventilation-mediated simultaneous ethanol fermentation and recovery system with a thermo-tolerant yeast strain, K. marxianus. Running the system, apparently pure ethanol (28 g) was recovered from cellobiose (100g) by growing recombinant expressing β-glucosidase from a thermo-tolerant fungus. To create much more thermo-stable enzyme, we mutagenized its gene and obtained five mutant enzymes showing higher thermo-stability than the wild type enzyme. These mutations were integrated in one enzyme molecule and the mutant enzyme showed 10℃ higher Tm value,than that of wild type enzyme. The mutant enzyme showed the same specific activity on its substrates with that of wild type enzyme. The transformant with this mutant enzyme gene showed 1.3times higher productivity of ethanol compared with the strain having wild type β-glucosidase gene. The mutant enzyme was crystallized and the crystalline structure was determined at the 2.7Å resolution.
