Dihydrolipohyl dehydrogenase (DLD) is a FAD-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the reversible oxidation of dihydrolipoamide. Herein, we report medium optimization for the production of a recombinant DLD with NADH-dependent diaphorase activity from a strain of Bacillus sphaericus PAD-91. The DLD gene that consisted of 1413 bp was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), and its enzymatic properties were studied. The composition of production medium was optimized using one-variable-at-a-time method followed by response surface methodology (RSM). B. sphaericus DLD catalyzed the reduction of lipoamide by NAD⁺ and exhibited diaphorase activity. The molecular weight of enzyme was about 50 kDa and determined to be a monomeric protein. Recombinant diaphorase showed its optimal activity at temperature of 30 °C and pH 8.5. K ₘ and V ₘₐₓ values with NADH were estimated to be 0.025 mM and 275.8 U/mL, respectively. Recombinant enzyme was optimally produced in fermentation medium containing 10 g/L sucrose, 25 g/L yeast extract, 5 g/L NaCl and 0.25 g/L MgSO₄. At these concentrations, the actual diaphorase activity was calculated to be 345.0 ± 4.1 U/mL. By scaling up fermentation from flask to bioreactor, enzyme activity was increased to 486.3 ± 5.5 U/mL. Briefly, a DLD with diaphorase activity from a newly isolated B. sphaericus PAD-91 was characterized and the production of recombinant enzyme was optimized using RSM technique.
