TRANSCRIPT
Enzymatic modification of dough during bread making may
improve bread quality attributes such as texture and taste. To
develop amylolytic Saccharomyces cerevisiae baker’s yeasts
producing and secreting xylanase and phytase, two integrative
cassettes were constructed to allow co-expression of the Aspergillus
awamori glucoamylase gene (GA1) and Debaryomyces castellii
phytase gene (phytDc), and the Debaryomyces occidentalis α-
amylase gene (AMY) and Bacillus subtilis xylanase gene (xynA),
respectively. The recombinant baker’s yeast strain expressing
GA1 and phytDc and the corresponding strain expressing AMY
and xynA were co-cultured to secrete active glucoamylase and
α-amylase, displaying both xylanase and phytase activities that
degraded starch and consequently grew using it as the sole carbon
source. The glucoamylase and α-amylase activities produced
by the co-culture of these two yeast strains increased by 1.5-fold
and 11-fold, respectively, relative to those in their monoculture
with culture medium containing 2% (w/v) raw wheat starch
within 5 days of growth. These new yeasts hydrolyzed 60% of
the raw starch content during the same period.

Wheat flour used in bread making contains non-starch poly-
saccharides, such as hemicelluloses, in relatively small amounts
along with starch as the main polysaccharide; it also contains
phytate as the major storage form of phosphate (Monfort et al.,
1997; Lim et al., 2008). Unfortunately, Saccharomyces cerevisiae,
including baker’s yeast and brewer’s yeast, is unable to meta-
bolize starch, non-starch polysaccharides, and phytate. Addition
of exogenous α-amylase and xylanase that modify starch and
non-starch polysaccharides in the dough may delay the rate of
staling and increase the volume and shelf-life of bread (Monfort et
al., 1996). Further, on consumption, bread made with the
addition of glucoamylase generates a melting feeling in the
mouth (Saito et al., 1996). Intake of large amounts of foods
that are rich in phytate may induce mineral deficiencies and
phosphate pollution problems as phytate is an anti-nutritional
factor that forms complexes with proteins and nutritionally
important minerals. Phytase catalyzes the dephosphorylation
of phytate to inositol and inorganic phosphate, thus alleviating
phytate-related symptoms (Han et al., 1999). However, exogenous
addition of these enzymes during bread making may result in
the incidence of allergenic symptoms in bakers (Nieto et al.,

Amylolytic baker’s yeasts secreting xylanase and phytase ∙ 171

1999). To resolve this problem, several studies have been
conducted to develop baker’s yeasts that express Aspergillus α-
amylase, endoxylanase, and phytase to reduce or eliminate the
requirement for adding exogenous enzymes (Saito et al., 1996;
Monfort et al., 1997; Nieto et al., 1999; Li et al., 2009). In S.
cerevisiae, the usual way to maintain integrated foreign enzyme
genes is to use reiterated DNA sequences including δ-sequences
and ribosomal DNA as target sites for homologous recombination,
which results in multiple copies of the integrated genes, resulting
in higher expression levels and mitotic stability. Furthermore,
the unnecessary bacterial plasmid DNA sequences containing
the antibiotic resistance marker and the replication origin for
integrating foreign enzyme genes into yeast chromosomes should
be excised before transformation because recombinant yeasts
with bread enter our bodies orally (Lee and Da Silva, 1997;
Park et al., 2014). In this study, we constructed two linearized
δ-integrative vectors harboring the Aspergillus awamori raw
starch-degrading glucoamylase gene (GA1) (Lin et al., 1998)
and Debaryomyces castellii phytase gene (phytDc) (Lim et al.,
2008) or the Debaryomyces occidentalis α-amylase gene (AMY)
(Kang et al., 2003) and xylanase gene (xynA) from the GRAS
organism, Bacillus subtilis. This facilitated the development of
a baker’s yeast with glucoamylase and phytase activities, and a
yeast with α-amylase and xylanase activities. The growth, starch
utilization and enzyme activities of these new yeast strains
were analyzed and the efficacy of raw starch hydrolysis by their
co-culture was compared with that by the monoculture.
A baker’s yeast strain, Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 6037
was used in the transformation experiments. Bacillus subtilis
ATCC 6633 was the source of the xynA gene. Escherichia coli
DH5α was used as the host for plasmid constructions. YIpδ
AURSAδ, YIpδAURDpδ, and YIpδAGSAδ (Kang et al., 2003;
Lim et al., 2008; Kim et al., 2010) served as the backbones
for the double δ-integrative system. All DNA manipulations
and the E. coli transformation were conducted using standard
protocols. Integrative transformation of yeast was conducted
using the method described by Gietz et al. (1992). The xylanase
gene was amplified by PCR using the oligonucleotides 5'-TCA
GGTACCATGTTTAAGTTTAAAAAGAAT-3' and 5'-CGAT
CTAGATTACCACACTGTTACGTTAGAACT-3'. These primers
were designed using the published nucleotide sequences of the
B. subtilis xylanase gene (xynA) (GenBank accession number
M36648). PCR resulted in 0.64 kb amplified DNA fragments
of the whole open reading frame from the genomic DNA of B.
subtilis ATCC 6633, which underwent digestion with KpnI and
XbaI, and was then inserted into the same sites downstream of
the ADC1 promoter (ADC1p) in YIpδAURSAδ lacking the AMY
gene, thereby generating YIpδAURXδ (7.2 kb). Furthermore,
to obtain expression of both the xynA and AMY genes, a 2.7 kb
DNA fragment containing the ADC1p-xynA cassette of YIpδ
AURXδ, which underwent digestion with ApaI and SacI, was
inserted using the same sites in YIpδAGSAδ lacking the GA1
gene to generate YIpδXSAδ (9.6 kb). To construct the δ-
integrative system containing the GA1 and phytDc genes, a 2.1
kb DNA fragment harboring the ADC1p-phytDc cassette was
excised from YIpδAURDpδ and inserted into the XbaI sites in
YIpδAGSAδ lacking the ADC1p-AMY cassette, thus generating
YIpδAGDpδ (10.9 kb) (Fig. 1).
To develop baker’s yeasts producing and secreting xylanase,
YIpδAURXδ was linearized by digesting the δ sequences with
XhoI, after which the fragments (4.4 kb) harboring the ADC1p-
xynA gene cassettes flanked by δ sequences were integrated
into the reiterated δ sequences dispersed throughout the baker’s
yeast’s genome (Lee and Da Silva, 1997; Kang et al., 2003).
The integrative cassette-harboring transformed yeasts were
designated ATCC 6037/YIpδAURXδ (ATCC 6037X). The
yeast transformants formed halos around their colonies on
YPD plates containing xylan whereas the untransformed baker’s
yeast strain displayed no halo (Fig. 2), indicating that the B.
subtilis xylanase gene is expressed under the control of yeast
ADC1 promoter and that xylanase is secreted under the control
of its own lead sequence in baker’s yeast (Ahn et al., 1992).
Then, linearized YIpδXSAδ (6.8 kb) (Fig. 1) was integrated
into the baker’s yeast genome, generating ATCC 6037/YIpδ
XSAδ that expresses both xynA and AMY genes (ATCC 6037XSA)
to develop amylolytic baker’s yeasts producing xylanase (Monfort
et al., 1997). This double δ integration system generates a
smaller unnecessary fragment (2.8 kb) containing an ampicillin
resistance marker, which was eliminated prior to transformation
(Kang et al., 2003). Large halos developed around ATCC
6037XSA secreting xylanase and α-amylase on YPD plates
containing xylan and YPDS3 plate, respectively (Fig. 2). It
is known that these two enzymes act synergistically on the
polysaccharides in wheat flour, resulting in improved bread

dough by increasing the bread volume and shelf life through a
retarded rate of staling (Monfort et al., 1996; Nieto et al.,
1999). On the other hand, linearized YIpδAGDpδ containing
both ADC1p-GA1 and ADC1p-phytDc gene cassettes (8.1 kb)
was integrated into the baker’s yeast genome, generating ATCC
6037/YIpδAGDpδ (ATCC 6037AGDp) to develop amylolytic
baker’s yeasts that produce phytase. A smaller halo formed
around ATCC 6037AGDp secreting glucoamylase on the YPDS3
plate unlike ATCC 6037XSA secreting α-amylase (Fig. 2). It is
known that baker’s yeasts with high maltose fermentation

ability are preferred in bread making because they utilize the
maltose in wheat flour. Since α-amylase cannot hydrolyze
maltose, the addition of glucoamylase hydrolyzing maltose is
necessary when using inferior maltose-fermenting yeasts with
a better flavor and taste (Lee et al., 2016). Moreover, Saito et al.
(1996) have reported that bread made with the addition of
glucoamylase was superior in terms of a melting feeling in the
mouth.
Yeast cells were cultured in YPD medium [1% (w/v) yeast
extract, 2% (w/v) Bacto-peptone, and 2% (w/v) glucose]. Yeast
transformants were grown on YPD plates containing 1 μg/ml
aureobasidin A (TaKaRa) and were then transferred onto YPDS3
plates [YPD containing 3% (w/v) soluble starch] and incubated
for 4 days at 30°C. Amylolytic clones were detected by the
observation of halos around the colonies. YPD plates containing
0.15% (w/v) 4-O-methyl-D-glucurono-D-xylan-Remazol brilliant
blue R dye (Sigma) or 1% (w/v) oat spelts xylan (Sigma) were
used to detect the xylanase activities secreted by yeast trans-
formants incubated for 2 days at 30°C (Biely et al., 1985). Halo
formation around a colony is indicative of xylanase activity.
Yeast cells were grown in YPS medium [YP containing 2%
(w/v) soluble starch or 2% (w/v) wheat starch (Sigma)] or YPP
medium [YP containing 0.05% (w/v) potassium disulfite to
prevent contamination (Shigechi et al., 2004)] containing 2%
(w/v) raw wheat starch at 30°C for 5 days to assay the glu-
coamylase, α-amylase, xylanase and phytase activities of the
culture supernatants. Residual starch and raw starch were assayed
via the starch-iodine reaction and phenol sulfuric acid method,
respectively (Kim et al., 1988; Shigechi et al., 2004). All
experiments were conducted three to five times independently.
The results are presented as the mean ± standard deviation of
the mean (SD) of three different experiments. Xylanase activity
was assayed using 0.5% (w/v) oat spelts xylan as a substrate at
pH 6.0 and 55°C. The amount of reducing sugar produced from
xylan as a result of the enzyme reaction was determined using
the dinitrosalicylic acid method (Ghang et al., 2007). One unit
of xylanase activity was defined as the amount of enzyme that
liberated 1 μmol of xylose from xylan in 1 min. Phytase activity
was quantified at pH 4.5 and 70°C using acid molybdate reagent.
One unit of phytase activity was defined as the amount of
enzyme that liberated 1 μmol of inorganic phosphate from
sodium phytate in 1 min (Lim et al., 2008). Glucoamylase and
α-amylase activities were quantified at pH 5.5 and 40°C using
the PGO/ODAD assay (Sigma) and the dinitrosalicylic acid
method, respectively. All assays were repeated three times, and
the means were calculated.
Enzyme activities were examined in culture supernatants
from yeast transformants grown in YPS media containing 2%
(w/v) soluble starch. The selected clones exhibiting the highest
activity among transformants were used for subsequent analyses.
As shown in Table 1, the activities of glucoamylase, α-amylase,
xylanase, and phytase were present in the culture supernatant
from the co-culture of ATCC 6037AGDp and ATCC 6037XSA.
The glucoamylase activity produced by ATCC 6037AGDp
co-cultivated with ATCC 6037XSA, similar to ATCC 6037AGSA
secreting both glucoamylase and α-amylase (Kim et al., 2010)
was 2.2-fold higher than that by the monoculture of ATCC
6037AGDp, indicating that the cooperative interaction between
glucoamylase and α-amylase resulted in efficient degradation
of starch to glucose (Kim et al., 1988; Eksteen et al., 2003). In

addition, the phytase activity produced by these strains was
4-fold higher than that by D. castellii which was the source of
the phytDc gene (25 mU/ml) (Lim et al., 2008). However, the
xylanase activity produced by ATCC 6037XSA was reduced to
one-third of that by B. subtilis (1.6 U/ml). This problem would
be solved if the xynA signal sequence were replaced with the
signal sequence of a yeast gene (Ahn et al., 1992). Time course
analyses of enzyme activities, cell growth, and starch hydrolysis
produced by the co-culture of ATCC 6037AGDp and ATCC
6037XSA using 2% (w/v) wheat starch as the sole carbon
source over 5 days are shown in Fig. 3. Enzymes were growth-
associated and reached the maximal activities after 3 days of
growth. These strains utilized 100% of the starch in the culture
medium containing 2% (w/v) wheat starch during 3 days of
growth. Xylanase and phytase activities were positively correlated
with high starch assimilation and growth rate due to efficient
degradation of starch to glucose by the cooperative interaction
between glucoamylase and α-amylase (Monfort et al., 1996;
Lim et al., 2008; Kim et al., 2010).
Since raw wheat starch below the gelatinization temperature
of starch is used in the fermentation of bread dough, ATCC
6037AGDp, ATCC 6037XSA, and ATCC 6037AGDp + ATCC
6037XSA (co-culture) glucoamylase and α-amylase activities
as well as starch hydrolysis were compared when 2% (w/v) raw
wheat starch was used as the sole carbon source over 5 days. As
shown in Fig. 4, ATCC 6037AGDp secreting GA1-encoded
glucoamylase exhibited low enzyme activity and consumed the
raw starch content to merely 10% of the initial concentration
after 5 days of growth because GA1 hydrolyzes raw starch
slowly (Kim et al., 2011); ATCC 6037XSA secreting AMY-
encoded α-amylase did not hydrolyze raw starch, whereas the
co-culture of ATCC 6037AGDp and ATCC 6037XSA like
ATCC 6037AGSA (data not shown) displayed 1.5-fold higher
glucoamylase activity and 6-fold more hydrolysis of raw starch
compared to ATCC 6037AGDp. Moreover, they showed 11-
fold higher α-amylase activity than that of ATCC 6037XSA
during the same period. These findings indicate that glucoamylase
with a raw starch-binding domain cleaves the non-reducing
ends of raw starch chains and exclusively forms glucose. This
in turn can serve as a substrate for the growth of ATCC
6037XSA as well as ATCC 6037AGDp, thereby increasing the
activity of α-amylase to release new non-reducing ends for
glucoamylase and the synergistic interaction of glucoamylase
and α-amylase resulting in rapid hydrolysis of raw starch that is
critical to increase the rate of fermentation (Sun et al., 2010; Im
et al., 2013). Thus, these new baker’s yeast strains secreting
glucoamylase, α-amylase, xylanase and phytase may be useful
for improving bread quality and taste, increasing bread shelf
life by retarding the process of staling and reducing phytate
content (Monfort et al., 1996; Saito et al., 1996; Lim et al.,

co-culture of ATCC 6037AGDp and ATCC 6037XSA. Yeast cells were grown in YP media containing 2% (w/v) wheat starch at 30°C for 5 days. Growth
was measured on different days based on the cell number. The remaining starch values were presented as percentages considering the starch in the
uninoculated medium as 100%. Enzyme activities were measured in culture supernatants. The data (mean ± SD) are from three independent experiments
performed in triplicate.

occurrence of allergenic work-related symptoms due to the
exogenous addition of commercial enzymes in bread making
(Nieto et al., 1999). Further studies are in progress to develop
commercial baker’s yeast such as Saf-instant yeast (S. I. Lesaffre)
with improved glucoamylase and α-amylase activities, thereby
improving the xylanase and phytase activities using these
constructed δ-integrative systems.
