Abstract excerpt
We previously identified a number of mutations in Escherichia coli AppA2 phytase for enhancing its thermostability. The objective of the present study was to determine if these mutations (K46E, K65E, G103S, D112N, D144N, S209G, V227A, and G344D) could be sequentially added to further improve the thermostability of AppA2. Compared with the wild-type enzyme, two variants (D144N/V227A and D144N/V227A/G344D) out of...
