| Summary: | Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.19, CGTase) production from B. firmus, isolated from soil of Curitiba, PR, was optimized in shake flask using an experimental design approach. The CGTase was produced when the carbon source was starch and beta-CD, but when simple sugars such as glucose, galactose, lactose, sucrose, and maltose were used, there was no enzyme production. CGTase production was the same with either organic nitrogen or inorganic nitrogen source. CGTase activity decreased 2-fold when incubation temperature was increased from 28 to 37 ° C, and decreased 2.1- fold when the initial pH was lowered from 10.3 to 7.4. The colorimetric determinations of alpha - and beta -CD were analyzed as a non-linear relationship and the equilibrium constant for alpha -CD/methyl orange and beta -CD/phenolphthalein complexes were 7.69 x 10³ L / mol and 2.33 x 10³ L/ mol, respectively.<br>A produção de ciclodextrina glicosiltransferase (EC2.4.1.19, CGTase) de B. firmus isolada de solo de Curitiba, PR, foi otimizada com o uso de modelo estatístico fatorial. Foi estudado o efeito de componentes no meio básico bem como pH inicial e temperatura na produção da enzima. O modelo de fatorial 2k-1 foi usado. A atividade da CGTase foi monitorada pelo método colorimétrico com alaranjado de metila. Houve produção da CGTase quando a fonte de carbono era amido e beta-CD, mas quando galactose, lactose, sacarose e maltose foram usadas, nγo houve nenhuma produηγo de enzima. A produηão de CGTase foi a mesma com a fonte de nitrogênio orgânico ou inorgânico. A atividade da CGTase diminuiu 2 vezes quando a temperatura de incubação foi aumentada de 28 a 37 ° C, e diminuiu 2,1 vezes quando o pH inicial foi abaixado de 10,3 a 7,4. As determinações colorimetricas de alfa e beta - CD foram analisadas como regressão não linear e a constante de equilíbrio para os complexos alfa -CD/alaranjado de metila e beta -CD/fenolftaleina foram 7,69 x 10³ L/mol e 2,33 x 10³L/mol, respectivamente. |
