The present invention uses a microorganism belonging to Escherichia coli containing tryptophan synthetase (an enzyme that catalyzes the reaction of synthesizing L-tryptophan from indole and L-serine) to produce a pyridoxal phosphate containing 0.0001% or more of pyridoxal phosphate. The present invention relates to a method for preserving tryptophan synthetase by suspending it in an aqueous solution and then freezing it to preserve it without reducing the activity of tryptophan synthetase contained within bacterial cells. In recent years, L-tryptophan has attracted attention from the world for its effectiveness not only in medicine but also in feed.
Expectations are increasing for the production of this substance at low cost on an industrial scale. One of the most promising methods for producing L-tryptophan is an enzymatic production method for producing L-tryptophan from indole and L-serine. The enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is tryptophan synthetase, which is mainly produced in large quantities within the cells of genetically improved microorganisms belonging to the genus Escherichia. Since this enzyme is produced within the bacterial body, it is industrially advantageous to use the bacterial body itself as an enzyme source. However, in order to use this enzyme on a commercial scale, the enzyme activity (unit time, unit There is a need to establish a preservation method for preserving bacterial cells containing this enzyme for a long period of time without reducing the L-tryptophan synthesis ability per bacterial cell mass. Conventionally, it has been generally known to cryopreserve bacterial cells containing enzymes, but in the case of bacterial cells containing tryptophan synthetase, little is known about how to preserve them, and the present inventors According to the test, simply freezing and preserving wet bacterial cells resulted in a significant decrease in the enzyme activity of the bacterial cells after thawing, making it difficult to call this a practical preservation method. The present inventors have developed bacterial cells containing tryptophan synthetase without a decrease in their enzymatic activity.
As a result of examining various methods for long-term storage, we found that by suspending the bacterial cells in an aqueous solution of pyridoxal phosphate of 0.0001% or more and then freezing them, the enzyme activity was improved compared to when the wet bacterial cells were frozen directly. The present invention was completed based on the discovery that the decrease in the amount of water was significantly reduced and the product could be stored for a long period of time. Microorganisms that produce a large amount of tryptophan synthetase used in the present invention include microorganisms belonging to E. coli, such as E. coli MT-10232 (FERM BP-
19), Etzierihia coli MT-10242 (FERM
BP-20) etc. are used. The concentration of pyridoxal phosphate is 0.0001% or more,
It is preferably used at a concentration of 0.001 to 0.1%, and the bacterial cell concentration when suspended is 5-5% as a dry bacterial cell concentration.
The amount is 200g/, preferably 30 to 100g/, and after suspending the bacterial cells in an aqueous pyridoxal phosphate solution, it is desirable to adjust the pH of this suspension to a range of 7 to 9. The temperature for freezing the bacterial cell suspension is -5 to -
The temperature is 50°C, preferably -10 to -30°C, and the temperature used for thawing the frozen bacterial cell suspension is 5 to 50°C, preferably 15 to 40°C. According to the preservation method of the present invention, the tryptophan synthetase contained within the bacterial cells can be preserved for a long time with little decrease in its enzyme activity, so the present invention greatly contributes to the industrial use of tryptophan synthetase. It seems to be. Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples. Example 1 Tryptophan synthetase producing bacterium E. coli MT-10232 (FERM BP-
19) was inoculated into 100 ml of a medium having the composition shown in Table 1 in a 500 ml Sakaguchi flask, and cultured at 30°C for 24 hours. 200 ml (2 flasks) of this culture solution was inoculated into medium 15 having the composition shown in Table 2 in a 30 jar fermenter, and cultured at 30°C and pH 6.8 (controlled with 28% aqueous ammonia). After culturing, collect the bacteria by centrifugation and collect 170g of wet bacteria (36g of dry bacteria).
g) was obtained. 3 g of this wet bacterial body was suspended in a pyridoxal phosphate aqueous solution having the concentration of each test group to a total volume of 10 ml, and after adjusting the pH to 8.5, it was stored frozen at -15°C for the period of each test group. After thawing this frozen product at 20°C, tryptophan synthetase activity was measured using a reaction solution having the composition shown in Table 3.
To measure tryptophan synthetase activity, react the reaction solution for activity measurement at 35°C for 1 hour.
The amount of L-tryptophan produced was measured by liquid chromatography, and the enzyme activity was expressed as the amount of L-tryptophan produced per unit time and unit amount of bacterial cells. The results obtained are shown in Table 4.
