Plate screening tests were designed for the selection and isolation of mutant strains of the fungus Aspergillus awamori CMI 142717 showing over-production and constitutive synthesis of xylanase and -xylosidase. Following mutation by N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, nitrous acid and UV (254 nm), two generations of mutants were isolated and cultured in shake fiasks containing glucose, ball-milled oat straw or oat speit xylan as carbon source. Growth of a number of selected mutants in shake flask culture on medium containing oat spelt xylan produced the highest titres of xylanase and -xylosidase. Thus, xylanase producton by mutant AANTG43 was 132 U/ml when the Somogyl-Nelson (alkaline copper) method of measuring reducing sugar released was used, or 1160 U/ml using the dinitrosalicylic acid method of reducing sugar analysis. These values were 8-fold higher than those produced by the wild type. A 20-fold improvement in -xylosidase production was produced by mutant AANO19 (3.51 U/ml). The titres for these two enzyme activities are the highest recorded so far in the literature. Mutant AANTG43 also produced high levels of xylanase (49.8 U/ml) in submerged culture in a fermenter and showed a substantial improvement in the overall productivity of enzyme compared to the wild type strain.The authors are with the Rowett Research Institute, Bucksburn, Aberdeen AB2 9SB, UK.  相似文献

Xylanase (1,4-beta-D-xylan xylanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.8) production was investigated in the ruminal anaerobic fungus Neocallimastix frontalis. The enzyme was released principally into the culture fluid and had pH and temperature optima of 5.5 and 55 degrees C, respectively. In the presence of low concentrations of substrate, the enzyme was stabilized at 50 degrees C. Xylobiose was the principal product of xylanase action, with lesser amounts of longer-chained xylooligosaccharides. No xylose was detected, indicating that xylobiase activity was absent. Activities of xylanase up to 27 U ml-1 (1 U represents 1 micromol of xylose equivalents released min-1) were obtained for cultures grown on xylan (from oat spelt) at 2.5 mg ml-1 in shaken cultures. No growth occurred in unshaken cultures. Xylanase production declined with elevated concentrations of xylan (less than 2.5 mg ml-1), and this was accompanied by an accumulation of xylose and, to a lesser extent, arabinose. Addition of either pentose to cultures grown on low levels of xylan in which neither sugar accumulated suppressed xylanase production, and in growth studies with the paired substrates xylan-xylose, active production of the enzyme occurred during growth on xylan only after xylose had been preferentially utilized. When cellobiose, glucose, and xylose were tested as growth substrates for the production of xylanase (each initially at 2.5 mg ml-1), they were found to be less effective than xylan, and use of xylan from different origins (birch wood or larch wood) as the growth substrate or in the assay system resulted in only marginal differences in enzyme activity. However, elevated production of xylanase occurred during growth on crude hemicellulose (barley straw leaf). The results are discussed in relation to the role of the anaerobic fungi in the ruminal ecosystem, and the possible application of the enzyme in bioconversion processes is also considered.  相似文献

A novel xylanase (xylanase IV) which produces xylotetraose as the only low-molecular-weight oligosaccharide from oat spelt xylan was isolated from the culture medium of Aeromonas caviae ME-1. By sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the xylanase IV molecular weight was 41,000. Xylanase IV catalyzed the hydrolysis of oat spelt xylan, producing exclusively xylotetraose. The acid hydrolysate of the product gave d-xylose. The enzyme did not hydrolyze either p-nitrophenyl-(beta)-d-xyloside, small oligosaccharides (xylobiose and xylotetraose), or polysaccharides, such as starch, cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, laminarin, and (beta)-1,3-xylan.  相似文献

Degradation products from the addition of extracellular enzymes from Thermomonospora fusca BD25 to ball-milled wheat straw, oat spelt xylan and solubilised kraft pulps were characterised by HPLC and TLC. Overall, a high percentage hydrolysis of oat spelt xylan (28.9%) occurred after 26 h incubation. However, the rates of hydrolysis of ball-milled wheat straw and kraft pulp were approximately 4-6-fold less than xylan hydrolysis, although the total percentage hydrolysis of available substrate was similar (22.2% and 25.9% respectively). Incubation of kraft pulp and ball-milled wheat straw by crude extracellular enzymes of T. fusca BD25 resulted in the detection of aromatic compounds at concentrations of 0.6 microg ml(-1) and 8.7 microg ml(-1), respectively. Hydrolysis of oat spelt xylan by T. fusca BD25 extracellular enzymes yielded a mixture of xylose, xylotriose and putative substituted-xylotriose, while the products of ball-milled wheat straw hydrolysis were xylose, glucose and a small oligomer present in the digest. The results highlight the ability of culture supernatant from T. fusca to release both simple sugars and aromatic compounds from lignocellulosic substrates and suggest a role for this organism in the biobleaching of pulp.  相似文献

The concentrations of oat spelt xylan, casein hydrolysate and NH4Cl in the culture medium for production of xylanase from Bacillus sp. I-1018 were optimized by means of response surface methods. The path of steepest ascent was used to approach the optimal region of the medium composition. The optimum composition of the nutrient medium was then easily determined by using a central composite design and was found to be 3.16g/l of xylan, 1.94g/l casein hydrolysate, 0.8g/l of NH4Cl. The xylanase production was increased by 135% when the strain was grown in the optimized medium compared to initial medium.  相似文献

The culture medium for Rhodothermus marinus was optimised on a shake-flask scale by using statistical factorial designs for enhanced production of a highly thermostable alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase (AFase). The medium containing 3.6 g/l birch wood xylan and 8.2 g/l yeast extract yielded a maximum of 110 nkat/ml AFase activity together with 125 nkat/ml xylanase and 65 nkat/ml beta-xylosidase activity. In addition, low levels of beta-mannanase (30 nkat/ml), alpha-galactosidase (0.2 nkat/ml), beta-galactosidase (0.3 nkat/ml), endoglucanase (5 nkat/ml) and beta-glucosidase (30 nkat/ml) were detected in the culture filtrate. Among the various carbon sources tested, birchwood xylan was most effective for the formation of AFase and xylanase activities, followed by oat spelt and beechwood xylans, and xylan-rich lignocelluoses (e.g., starch-free sugar beet pulp and wheat bran). Constitutive levels of enzyme activities were detected when the bacterium was grown on other polysaccharides and low-molecular-weight carbohydrates. A fermentation in a 5-l fermenter (3-l working volume) using the optimised medium yielded 60 nkat/ml AFase associated with 65 nkat/ml xylanase and 35 nkat/ml beta-xylosidase activities. The crude AFase displayed optimal activity between pH 5.5 and 7 and at 85 degrees C. It had half-lives of 8.3 h at 85 degrees C and 17 min at 90 degrees C. It showed high stability between pH 5 and 9 (24 h at 65 degrees C). The combined use of AFase-rich xylanase and mannanase from R. marinus in the prebleaching of softwood kraft pulp gave a brightness increase of 1.8% ISO. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the production of a high AFase activity by an extreme thermophilic bacterium and this enzyme is the most thermostable AFase reported so far.  相似文献

Two distinct xylanase genes (designated xynA and xynB) were subcloned in pUC13 from non-homologous restriction fragments of Ruminococcus flavefaciens 17 DNA originally isolated in lambda EMBL3. The products of the two genes showed similar pH optima for hydrolysis of oat spelt xylan (around 5.5) and had little or no activity against carboxymethylcellulose. Trace activities against p-nitrophenyl (pNP) cellobioside and pNP-xyloside were detected in clones containing xynA, but not in one harbouring xynB. The xylanase associated with clones carrying xynA produced mainly xylobiose and xylose from xylan and did not give hydrolysis of xylobiose, while that encoded by xynB produced mainly xylobiose and higher xylo-oligosaccharides from xylan. There was evidence of increased expression, at the RNA level, of these two genes, and of another cloned region encoding multiple activities including xylanase, in R. flavefaciens 17 grown with xylan, as compared with cellobiose, as energy source. Total cell-associated xylanase and beta-xylosidase activities, and supernatant xylanase activity, were shown to be similarly induced in xylan-grown R. flavefaciens, 17.  相似文献

Acremonium zeae, one of the most prevalent fungal colonists of preharvest corn, possesses a suite of hemicellulolytic activities including xylanase, xylosidase, and arabinofuranosidase. Two enzymes with arabinofuranosidase activity were purified from cell-free culture supernatants of A. zeae grown on oat spelt xylan. A 47 kDa enzyme (AF47) was optimally active at 37 °C and pH 6.0, and had a specific activity for 4-nitrophenyl-α-L-arabinofuranoside (4NPA) of 6.2 U/mg. A 30 kDa enzyme (AF30) was optimally active at 50 °C and pH 4.5, and had a specific activity for 4NPA of 12.4 U/mg. AF47 hydrolyzed 4-nitrophenyl-β-D-xylopyranoside, 4-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, and 4-nitrophenyl-β-D-cellobioside, as well as producing reducing sugars from corn fiber, wheat, and oat spelt arabinoxylan. AF30 had little detectable activity on the 4-nitrophenyl substrates, except for 4NPA, but activity on arabinoxylans from corn fiber, wheat, and oat spelt was at least 7-fold higher than AF47, with specific activities of 109, 358, and 153 U/mg, respectively. A combination of the two enzymes released 61 and 88% of the total arabinose from corn fiber and wheat arabinoxylans. The arabinofuranosidases produced by A. zeae may have industrial application for the enzymatic hydrolysis of recalcitrant lignocellulosic feedstocks such as corn fiber and wheat straw.  相似文献

Abstract A neutral endoxylanase from a culture filtrate of Aspergillus nidulans grown on oat spelt xylan was purified to apparent homogeneity. The purified enzyme showed a single band on SDS-PAGE with a molecular mass of 22,000 and had an isoelectric point of 6.4. The enzyme was a non-debranching endoxylanase highly specific for xylans and completely free from cellulolytic activity. The xylanase showed an optimum activity at pH 5.5 and 62°C and had a K m of 4.2 mg oat spelt xylan per ml and a V max of 710 μmol min−1 (mg protein)−1.  相似文献

The effects of cultivation pH and agitation rate on growth and extracellular xylanase production by Aspergillus oryzae NRRL 3485 were investigated in bioreactor cultures using spent sulphite liquor (SSL) and oats spelts xylan as respective carbon substrates. Xylanase production by this fungus was greatly affected by the culture pH, with pH 7.5 resulting in a high extracellular xylanase activity in the SSL-based medium as well as in a complex medium with xylan as carbon substrate. This effect, therefore, was not solely due to growth inhibition at the lower pH values by the acetic acid in the SSL. The xylanase activity in the SSL medium peaked at 199 U ml(-1) at pH 7.5 with a corresponding maximum specific growth rate of 0.39 h(-1). By contrast, the maximum extracellular beta-xylosidase activity pf 0.36 U ml(-1) was recorded at pH 4.0. Three low molecular weight xylanase isozymes were secreted at all pH values within the range of pH 4-8, whereas cellulase activity on both carbon substrates was negligible. Impeller tip velocities within the range of 1.56-3.12 m s(-1) had no marked effect, either on the xylanase activity, or on the maximum volumetric rate of xylanase production. These results also demonstrated that SSL constituted a suitable carbon feedstock as well as inducer for xylanase production in aerobic submerged culture by this strain of A. oryzae.  相似文献

We isolated a thermophilic bacterium that produces both xylanase and beta-xylosidase. Based on taxonomical research, this bacterium was identified as Bacillus stearothermophilus. Each extracellular enzyme was separated by hydrophobic chromatography by using a Toyopearl HW-65 column, followed by gel filtration with a Sephacryl S-200 column. Each enzyme in the culture was further purified to homogeneity (62-fold for xylanase and 72-fold for beta-xylosidase) by using a fast protein liquid chromatography system with a Mono Q HR 5/5 column. The optimum temperatures were 60 degrees C for xylanase and 70 degrees C for beta-xylosidase. The isoelectric points and molecular masses were 5.1 and 39.5 kDa for xylanase and 4.2 and 150 kDa for beta-xylosidase, respectively. Heat treatment at 60 degrees C for 1 h did not cause inhibition of the activities of these enzymes. The action of the two enzymes on xylan gave only xylose.  相似文献

对一株BacilluspumilusWL_11木聚糖酶的纯化、酶学性质及其底物降解模式进行了研究。经过硫酸铵盐析、CM_Sephadex及SephadexG_75层析分离纯化,获得一种纯化的WL_11木聚糖酶A ,其分子量为2 6 0kD ,pI值9 5 ,以燕麦木聚糖为底物时的表观Km 值为16 6mg mL ,Vmax值为12 6 3μmol (min·mg)。木聚糖酶A的pH稳定范围为6 0至10 4 ,最适作用pH范围则在7 2至8 0之间,是耐碱性木聚糖酶;最适作用温度为4 5℃~5 5℃,在37℃、4 5℃以下时该酶热稳定性均较好;5 0℃保温时,该酶活力的半衰期大约为2h ,在超过5 0℃的环境下,该酶的热稳定较差,5 5℃和6 0℃时的酶活半衰期分别为35min和15min。WL_11木聚糖酶A对来源于燕麦、桦木和榉木的可溶性木聚糖的酶解结果发现,木聚糖酶A对几种不同来源的木聚糖的降解过程并不一致。采用HPLC法分析上述底物的降解产物生成过程发现木聚糖酶A为内切型木聚糖酶,不同底物的降解产物中都无单糖的积累,且三糖的积累量都较高;与禾本科的燕麦木聚糖底物降解不同的是,木聚糖酶A对硬木木聚糖降解形成的五糖的继续降解能力较强。采用TLC法分析了WL_11粗木聚糖酶降解燕麦木聚糖的过程,结果表明燕麦木聚糖能够被WL_11粗木聚糖酶降解生成系列木寡糖,未检出木糖,这说明WL_11主要合成内切型木聚  相似文献

Xylanase production of newly isolated thermophilic alkali-tolerant Bacillus sp. strain SP and strain BC was investigated in batch and continuous cultures. Enzyme synthesis was inducible with both strains and was observed only in xylan-containing media. Xylan from oat spelt is a better inducer than xylan from birch for strain Bacillus sp. BC while such difference was not observed for strain SP. Compared with batch cultures xylanase production of both strains increased about two times and its rate became more than four times faster in continuous cultures at a dilution rate of 0.2 h(-1).  相似文献

A xylanase, which produces exclusively xylobiose from oat spelt and birch xylans, was isolated from the culture medium of Aeromonas caviae ME-1. The enzyme (xylanase V) was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation, hydrophobic interaction, and ion-exchange and gel filtration chromatographies. The homogeneity of the final preparation was demonstrated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and agarose gel electrofocusing. The molecular mass and isoelectric point of the xylanase were 46 kDa and 5.4, respectively. Xylanase V had a maximum activity at a pH of 6.8 and at a temperature between 30 and 37 degrees C. It was relatively stable at a pH between 5.0 and 8.6 and a temperature between 25 and 37 degrees C. When soluble birch xylan was used as the substrate, the enzyme had a K(m) and V(max) of 2 mg/ml and 182 mumol of xylose equivalent liberated . min . mg of protein, respectively. By the action of xylanase V on xylans (from oat spelt and birch), only one product corresponding to xylobiose was observed by thin-layer chromatography. The xylanase V putative product was confirmed to be xylobiose by acid and enzymatic hydrolyses. The xylanase had neither beta-xylosidase, alpha-l-arabinofuranosidase, cellulase, nor beta-1,3-xylanase activities. Xylotriose was the shortest substrate which the enzyme could attack. These findings suggest that xylanase V is a novel enzyme that cleaves a xylobiose unit from one of the ends of xylans, probably by an exomechanism.  相似文献

A thermo stable xylanase was purified and characterized from the cladodes of Cereus pterogonus plant species. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate (80%) fractionation, ion exchange and size exclusion chromatography. The enzyme showed a final specific activity of 216.2 U/mg and the molecular mass of the protein was 80 KDa. The optimum pH and temperature for xylanase activity were 5.0 and 80 °C, respectively,. With oat spelt xylan as a substrate the enzyme yielded a Km value of 2.24 mg/mL and a Vmax of 5.8 μmol min−1 mg−1. In the presence of metal ions (1 mM) such as Co2+,Mn2+, Ni2+, Ca2+ and Fe3+ the activity of the enzyme increased, where as strong inhibition of the enzyme activity was observed with the use of Hg2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, while partial inhibition was noted with Zn2+ and Mg2+. The substrate specificity of the xylanase yielded maximum activity with oat spelt xylan.  相似文献

An extracellular xylanase (1,4-beta-D-xylan xylanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.8, endo 1,4-beta-xylanase) was found to be the major protein in the culture filtrate of Penicillium chrysogenum when grown on 1% xylan. In contrast to other microorganism no xylanase multiplicity was found in P. chrysogenum under the conditions used. This enzyme was purified to homogeneity by high performance anion-exchange and size-exclusion chromatography. It had an M(r) of 35,000 as estimated by SDS-PAGE and was shown to be active as a monomer. No glycosylation of the protein could be detected neither by a sensitive glycostain nor by enzymatic deglycosylation studies. The enzyme hydrolyzed oat spelt and birchwood xylan randomly, yielding xylose and xylobiose as major end products. It had no cellulase, CMCase, beta-xylosidase or arabinogalactanase activity but acted on p-nitrophenylcellobioside. The pH and temperature optima for its activity were pH 6.0 and 40 degrees C, respectively. Eight peptides obtained after endoproteinase LysC digestion of xylanase have been sequenced, six of them showed considerable amino acid similarity to glucanases and high M(r)/acidic xylanases from different bacteria, yeasts and fungi.  相似文献

AIMS: To determine the effect of environmental conditions on the production of extracellular lignocellulose-degrading enzymes by Streptomyces sp. F2621 and to assess the potential use of these enzymes in the hydrolysis of lignocellulose material. METHODS AND RESULTS: The production of extracellular lignocellulose-degrading enzymes, endoxylanase, endoglucanase and peroxidase during the growth of Streptomyces sp. F2621 in basal salts-yeast extract medium containing different carbon sources and the effect of a number of environmental parameters (e.g. carbon sources and concentrations, pH and temperature) were investigated. The highest endoxylanase (22.41 U ml(-1)) and peroxidase (0.58 U ml(-1)) activities were obtained after 2-4 days of incubation at 30 degrees C in a basal salts medium containing 0.4% (w/v) oat spelt xylan and 0.6% (w/v) yeast extract, corresponding to C : N ratio of 6 : 1. Cell-free extracellular enzyme preparations from the strain were capable of releasing both sugar and aromatic compounds during incubation with eucalyptus paper pulp, straw and xylan. Overall, 9.3% hydrolysis of xylan occurred after 24-h incubation. However the rates of hydrolysis of paper pulp and straw were approximately twofold less than xylan hydrolysis, although the total percentage hydrolysis of available substrate (24.5% and 16.3%, respectively) was greater than xylan hydrolysis. CONCLUSIONS: The high levels of enzyme production achieved under batch cultivation conditions, coupled with no significant production of endoglucanase during the growth phase of organism and the release of both sugar and aromatic compounds from paper pulp and straw signify the suitability for these enzymes for industrial applications such as pulp and paper production. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The results highlight the environmental conditions for the production of extracellular lignocellulose-degrading enzymes by Streptomyces sp. F2621 and suggest the use of streptomycetes and/or their enzymes in industrial processes.  相似文献
