Abstract:

A stable and highly effective expression system was constructed for the expression of the lipase gene from
Kurtzmanomyces sp. V3. The lipase gene was isolated by homologous cloning, inserted into the expression vector pPICZαA
and transformed into Pichia pastoris X33. The results showed that the gene was expressed successfully in Pichia pastoris X33.
The optimal temperature and pH of the recombinant lipase were 60 ℃ and 5.0, respectively. Its activity was stimulated by
1 mmol/L Mg2+, K+ and Na+, and 1 g/100 mL Triton-100, Tween-80 and Tween-20. The recombinant lipase showed high
activity toward tristearin (C18).

Key words: Kurtzmanomyces, lipase, Pichia pastoris
