Abstract
AbstractThere are many industrially-relevant enzymes that while active, are severely limited by thermodynamic, kinetic, or stability issues (isomerases, lyases, transglycosidases). In this work, we studyLactobacillus sakeil-arabinose isomerase (LsLAI) ford-galactose tod-tagatose isomerization—that is limited by all three reaction parameters. The enzyme demonstrates low catalytic efficiency, low thermostability at temperatures > 40 °C, and equilibrium conversion < 50%. After exploring several strategies to overcome these limitations, we show that encapsulating LsLAI in gram-positiveLactobacillus plantarumthat is chemically permeabilized enables reactions at high rates, high conversions, and elevated temperatures. In a batch process, this system enables ~ 50% conversion in 4 h starting with 300 mM galactose (an average productivity of 37 mM h−1), and 85% conversion in 48 h. We suggest that such an approach may be invaluable for other enzymatic processes that are similarly kinetically-, thermodynamically-, and/or stability-limited.
