- Abstract
Objectives: γ-amino butyric acid (GABA) is a non-protein amino acid, considered a potent bioactive compound. This study focused on biosynthesis of food-grade GABA by immobilized glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) from Lactobacillus plantarum in the rice vinegar and monosodium glutamate (MSG) reaction system., Results: The gene encoding glutamate decarboxylase (GadB) from L. plantarum has been heterologously expressed in Lactococcus lactis and biochemically characterized. Recombinant GadB existed as a homodimer, and displayed maximal activity at 40 °C and pH 5.0. The K
m value and catalytic efficiency (kcat /Km ) of GadB for L-Glu was 22.33 mM and 62.4 mM-1 min-1 , respectively, with a specific activity of 24.97 U/mg protein. Then, purified GadB was encapsulated in gellan gum beads. Compared to the free enzyme, immobilized GadB showed higher operational and storage stability. Finally, 9.82 to 21.48 g/L of GABA have been acquired by regulating the amounts of catalyst microspheres ranging from 0.5 to 0.8 g (wet weight) in 0.8 mL of the designed rice vinegar and MSG reaction system., Conclusions: The method of production GABA by immobilized GadB microspheres mixed in the rice vinegar and MSG reaction system is introduced herein for the first time. Especially, the results obtained here meet the increased interest in the harnessing of biocatalyst to synthesize food-grade GABA., (© 2021.
