摘要: To improve enzymatic activity of Bacillus pumilus lipases, DNA shuffling was applied to two lipase genes from local B. isolates. Using a high-throughput assay, the mutant with highest selected. This chimeric (L3-3), carrying crossover positions and three point mutations, has specific 6.4 8.2 times higher than parent enzymes. The also is more tolerant various detergents organic solvents, 9 longer half-life at 50 °C. Homology modeling L3-3, based on highly homologous subtilis A, shows that increased thermostability likely due structural rigidification reduced surface hydrophobicity. Increased may result location mutations close active site. Together, our results show it possible evolve, by shuffling, variants improved applicability as biocatalysts, even if enzymes are similar.
