<P>We explored the ability of an <I>Aspergillus niger</I> α-glucosidase displayed on <I>P. pastoris</I> to act as a whole-cell biocatalyst (Pp-ANGL-GCW61) system to synthesize isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMOs). IMOs are a mixture that includes isomaltose (IG<SUB>2</SUB>), panose (P), and isomaltotriose (IG<SUB>3</SUB>). In this study, the IMOs were synthesized by a hydrolysis-transglycosylation reaction in an aqueous system of maltose. In a 2 mL reaction system, the IMOs were synthesized with a conversion rate of approximately 49% in 2 h when 30% maltose was utilized under optimal conditions by Pp-ANGL-GCW61. Additionally, the 0.5-L reaction system was conducted in a 2-L stirred reactor with a conversion rate of approximately 44% in 2 h. Moreover, the conversion rate was relatively stable after the whole-cell catalyst was reused three times. In conclusion, Pp-ANGL-GCW61 has a high reaction efficiency and operational stability, which makes it a powerful biocatalyst available for industrial scale synthesis.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B><BR><IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/jafcau/2017/jafcau.2017.65.issue-43/acs.jafc.7b04140/production/images/medium/jf-2017-041404_0008.gif'></P>
