Isomaltulose production by bacterial fermentation was limited, due to generation of undesirable products and reduced yields. Isomaltulose production using sucrose isomerase (Slase) catalyzed methods was expected to be more applicable, but was hampered by low Slase activity and lack of a secreted Slase producer. Here, we aimed to obtain high levels of secreted Slase by overexpressing the Slase gene from Pantoea dispersa UQ68J in Yarrowia lipolytica, a successful host for efficient secretory expression, with a newly characterized strong constitutive promoter. After optimization of the culture medium, the engineered strain JD secreted Slase with an activity of 49.3 U/mL. The recombinant Slase was effectively immobilized onto polyvinyl alcohol-alginate, and the enzymatic activity recovery rate was up to 82.4%. The stability of the Slase was significantly improved by immobilization. Batch production of isomaltulose catalyzed by the immobilized Slase was performed under optimal conditions, generating 620.7 g/L isomaltulose with a yield of 0.96 g/g. The conversion rate of sucrose after 13 batches remained above 90%. These results demonstrated that the proposed Slase expression and immobilization method was promising in the industrial production of isomaltulose. (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier B.V.
