Gene encoding recombinant trehalose phosphorylase, vector containing the gene, transformant transformed by the gene, and method for producing recombinant trehalose phosphorylase with the use of the transformant

摘要

A novel recombinant trehalose phosphorylase is provided. A gene encoding trehalose phosphorylase has been discovered. A vector containing the gene is constructed, a transformant is prepared, and recombinant trehalose phosphorylase is produced using the transformant. Trehalose phosphorylase can be produced in an industrial scale. Trehalose can be manufactured advantageously in an industry scale from D-glucose and alpha -D-glucose 1-phosphoric acid using this enzyme.
