Trehalase has attracted widespread attention in medicine, agriculture, food, and ethanol industry due to its ability to specifically degrade trehalose. Efficient expression of trehalase remains a challenge. In this study, a putative trehalase-encoding gene (Tre-zm) from Zunongwangia mangrovi was explored using gene-mining strategy and heterologously expressed in E. coli. Trehalase activity reached 3374 U·mL-1 after fermentation optimization. The scale-up fermentation in a 15 L fermenter was achieved with a trehalase production of 15,068 U·mL-1. The recombinant trehalase TreZM was purified and characterized. It displayed optimal activity at 35 °C and pH 8.5, with Mn2+, Sn2+, Na+, and Fe2+ promoting the activity. Notably, TreZM showed significant inhibition effect on biofilm forming of Staphylococcus epidermidis. The combination of TreZM with a low concentration of antibiotics could inhibit 70 % biofilm formation of Staphylococcus epidermidis and 28 % of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Hence, this study provides a promising candidate for industrial production of trehalase and highlights its potential application to control harmful biofilms.
