Abstract
Among single-site mutations of l-arabinose isomerase derived from Geobacillus thermodenitrificans, two mutants were produced having the lowest and highest activities of d-tagatose production. Site-directed mutagenesis at these sites showed that the aromatic ring at amino acid 164 and the size of amino acid 475 were important for d-tagatose production. Among double-site mutations, one mutant converted d-galactose into d-tagatose with a yield of 58% whereas the wild type gave 46% d-tagatose conversion after 300 min at 65 °C.
