Abstract: 
The aim of this work was to construct a novel food-grade industrial arming yeast displaying &beta;-1,3-1,4-glucanase and to evaluate the thermal stability of the glucanase for practical application. For this purpose, a bi-directional vector containing galactokinase (GAL1) and phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1) promoters in different orientations was constructed. The &beta;-1,3-1,4-glucanase gene from Bacillus subtilis was fused to &alpha%29&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>&alpha;-agglutinin and expressed under the control of the GAL1 promoter. &alpha%29&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>&alpha;-galactosidase induced by the constitutive PGK1 promoter was used as a food-grade selection marker. The feasibility of the &alpha%29&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>&alpha;-galactosidase marker was confirmed by the growth of transformants harboring the constructed vector on a medium containing melibiose as a sole carbon source, and by the clear halo around the transformants in Congo-red plates owing to the expression of &beta;-1,3-1,4-glucanase. The analysis of &beta;-1,3-1,4-glucanase activity in cell pellets and in the supernatant of the recombinant yeast strain revealed that &beta;-1,3-1,4-glucanase was successfully displayed on the cell surface of the yeast. The displayed &beta;-1,3-1,4-glucanase activity in the recombinant yeast cells increased immediately after the addition of galactose and reached 45.1 U/ml after 32-h induction. The thermal stability of &beta;-1,3-1,4-glucanase displayed in the recombinant yeast cells was enhanced compared with the free enzyme. These results suggest that the constructed food-grade yeast has the potential to improve the brewing properties of beer.
