A novel cellulase free alkaliphilic xylanase from alkali tolerant Penicillium citrinum: production, purification and characterization

AIMS: The enzymatic hydrolysis of xylan has potential economic and environment-friendly applications. Therefore, attention is focused here on the discovery of new extremophilic xylanase in order to meet the requirements of industry. METHODS AND RESULTS: An extracellular xylanase was purified from the culture filtrate of P. citrinum grown on wheat bran bed in solid substrate fermentation. Single step purification was achieved using hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The purified enzyme showed a single band on SDS-PAGE with an apparent molecular weight of c. 25 kDa and pI of 3.6. Stimulation of the activity by beta mercaptoethanol, dithiotheritol (DTT) and cysteine was observed. Moderately thermostable xylanase showed optimum activity at 50 degrees C at pH 8.5. CONCLUSION: Xylanase purified from P. citrinum was alkaliphilic and moderately thermostable in nature. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The present work reports for the first time the purification and characterization of a novel endoglucanase free alkaliphilic xylanase from the alkali tolerant fungus Penicillium citrinum. The alkaliphilicity and moderate thermostability of this xylanase may have potential implications in paper and pulp industries.

利用重叠延伸PCR对扩展青霉脂肪酶（PEL）基因进行体外定点突变,构建了K55R与随机突变体ep8叠加突变的重组质粒pAO815-ep8-K55R。将该质粒电转化引入毕赤酵母（Pichia pastoris）GS115,进行异源表达。实验结果表明：该叠加突变体在毕赤酵母中获得了活性表达,得到表达产物脂肪酶PEL-ep8-K55R-GS。其表达量为508u/mL,分别约为野生型脂肪酶PEL-GS（627u/mL）的81％,随机突变脂肪酶PEL-ep8-GS（924u/mL）的55%;其比活力为2309.1u/mg,与随机突变脂肪酶PEL-ep8-GS和野生型脂肪酶PEL-GS的相仿。叠加突变脂肪酶PEL-ep8-K55R-GS的最适作用温度为37℃,与野生型脂肪酶PEL-GS和随机突变脂肪酶PEL-ep8-GS一致;其T_m值为41.0℃,比野生型脂肪酶PEL-GS提高了2.3℃,比随机突变脂肪酶PEL-ep8-GS提高了0.8℃。表明叠加突变脂肪酶PEL-ep8-K55R-GS的热稳定性有了进一步的提高。     

Production of xylanase from a newly isolated <Emphasis Type="Italic">Penicillium</Emphasis> sp. ZH-30

A new strain of Penicillium sp. ZH-30 that produces xylanase was isolated from soil. According to the morphology and comparison of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA gene sequence, the strain Penicillium sp. ZH-30 was identified as a strain of Penicillium oxalicum. When xylan or wheat bran was used as substrate at 30°C for 3 days under submerged cultivation, xylanase production was 5.3 and 13.3 U ml⁻¹, respectively. The temperature and pH for optimum activity were 50°C and 5.0–6.0, respectively.     

Production of cellulases and hemicellulases by Penicillium echinulatum grown on pretreated sugar cane bagasse and wheat bran in solid-state fermentation

AIM: To evaluate the solid-state fermentation (SSF) production of cellulase and hemicellulases (xylanases), by Penicillium echinulatum 9A02S1, in experiments carried out with different concentrations of the pretreated sugar cane bagasse (PSCB) and wheat bran (WB). METHODS AND RESULTS: This study reports the production of xylanolytic and cellulolytic enzymes by P. echinulatum 9A02S1 using a cheap medium containing PSCB and WB under SSF. The highest amounts of filter paper activity (FPA) could be measured on mixtures of PSCB and WB (32.89 +/- 1.90 U gdm(-1)). The highest beta-glucosidase activity was 58.95 +/- 2.58 U gdm(-1) on the fourth day. The highest activity for endoglucanases was 282.36 +/- 1.23 U gdm(-1) on the fourth day, and for xylanases the activity was around 10 U gdm(-1) from the second to the fourth day. CONCLUSIONS: The present work has established the potential of P. echinulatum for FPA, endoglucanase, beta-glucosidase and xylanase productions in SSF, indicating that WB may be partially substituted by PSCB. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The incorporation of cheap sources, such as sugar cane bagasse, into media for the production of lignocellulose enzymes should help decrease the production costs of enzymatic complexes that can hydrolyse lignocellulose residues for the formation of fermented syrups, thus contributing to the economic production of bioethanol.     

Expression and homology modeling of sterol 14alpha-demethylase from Penicillium digitatum

Green mold of citrus, caused by Penicillium digitatum, is the most serious postharvest disease of citrus. Sterol 14alpha-demethylase (CYP51) is one of the key enzymes of sterol biosynthesis in biological kingdoms and is a prime target of antifungal drugs. To exploit novel 14alpha-demethylase inhibitor (DMI) fungicides, DNA and total RNA were isolated from P. digitatum. The CYP51 of P. digitatum was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, yielding recombinant protein with a molecular weight of c. 59 kDa. The P. digitatum CYP51 protein (PdCYP51) was purified and polyclonal antibodies were prepared. Compared with the sequence of P. digitatum PD5 in GenBank, there were four mutated nucleotides which resulted in four mutated amino acids. The three-dimensional (3D) model of P. digitatum CYP51 was established based on structure template of 1e9x.pdb and diniconazole was docked into the active site by FlexX. According to spectral data, it is suggested that the purified soluble protein had high affinity with diniconazole, a potent inhibitor of CYP51 reaction in fungi. At the same time, these spectral data suggested that the 3D model and the docking model were reasonable, which we hope can be used to provide a virtual screening of novel DMI drugs.     

草酸青霉对含钾矿物风化及钾溶出的影响

【目的】探讨含钾硅酸盐矿物在草酸青霉(Penicillium oxalicum)作用下的风化及钾溶出情况。【方法】利用等离子体发射光谱、X-射线能谱、X-射线光电子能谱分析了3种常见含钾硅酸盐矿物(钾长石、白云母和黑云母)在草酸青霉作用后浸出液和矿物表面元素含量的变化;通过X-射线衍射分析矿物晶相结构的变化;采用共聚焦激光扫描显微镜表征了草酸青霉在矿物表面形成的生物膜;测量了培养液中不同碳源与氮源组分对草酸青霉解钾的影响。【结果】草酸青霉对结构稳定的钾长石和白云母风化速率较低,相比而言黑云母容易被风化并释放可溶性钾元素;草酸青霉在矿物表面形成了网状结构的生物膜,有利于微环境的生成及有机酸在其内的富集,促进微环境内钾的释放,强化微生物对矿物的风化作用;草酸青霉对多种碳源及氮源都表现出较好的适用性。【结论】草酸青霉是一种能够促进多种含钾矿物风化和钾溶出的真菌,在堆肥和生物肥料领域具有广泛的应用前景。     

Plant Growth‐promoting Fungus Penicillium oxalicum Enhances Plant Growth and Induces Resistance in Pearl Millet Against Downy Mildew Disease

Plant Growth‐promoting Fungus (PGPF) Penicillium oxalicum was isolated from rhizosphere soil of pearl millet and was tested for its ability to promote growth and induce systemic resistance in pearl millet against downy mildew disease. The fungal isolate P. oxalicum UOM PGPF 16 was identified as P. oxalicum using ITS sequencing and morphological analysis and sequence was deposited at NCBI with accession number KF150220. Pearl millet susceptible seeds were treated with three different inducers (CS, CF and LCF) of PGPF P. oxalicum and all the inducers significantly reduced the downy mildew disease and enhanced plant growth. Among the inducers tested, CS treatment recorded highest seed germination of 91% and 1427 seedling vigour followed by LCF and CF treatments. The vegetative growth parameter and NPK uptake studies under greenhouse conditions revealed that the CS treatment of P. oxalicum remarkably enhanced the parameters tested when compared to control plants. A significant disease protection of 62% and 58% against downy mildew disease was observed in plants pretreated with CS of P. oxalicum under greenhouse and field conditions, respectively. The spatio‐temporal studies revealed that inducers P. oxalicum required a minimum of 3 days for developing maximum disease resistance which was maintained thereafter. The maximum Peroxidase (POX) activity (62.7 U) was observed at 24 h in seedlings treated with CS of PGPF P. oxalicum and the activity gradually reduced at later time points after pathogen inoculation. Chitinase (CHT) activity was significantly higher in inducer treated seedlings when compared to control seedlings inoculated with pathogen after 48 h and remained constant at all time points.     

Removal of Chromium (VI) from Aqueous Solution Using Mycelial Pellets of Penicillium simplicissimum Impregnated with Powdered Biochar

The mycelia pellets of Penicillium simplicissimum impregnated with powdered biochar (MPPSIPB) were synthesized and applied to remove chromium (VI) from aqueous solution. The effects of pH, MPPSIPB dosage, initial Cr(VI) concentration, and contact time were investigated via batch experiments. Results indicated that the percentage removal of Cr(VI) was significantly dependent on the pH of the solution. Ten grams mycelial pellets and 0.2 g powdered biochar could form the most stable pellets. The maximum value of biosorption of Cr(VI) was 28.0 mg/g. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that the mycelia pellets of Penicillium simplicissimum had abundant filamentous network, which entrapped powdered biochar firmly. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis suggested that O?H, N?H, C?H, C?O, and C?OH groups from MPPSIPB were involved in chromium binding and the subsequent reduction. Kinetic studies indicated that the pseudo-second-order equation fit best for Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solution. Freundlich isotherm was found to apply better for the adsorption equilibrium data with respect to the Langmuir isotherm. Furthermore, MPPSIPB can be separated from aqueous solution completely by filtration. Both experimental study and modeling results indicated that MPPSIPB exhibited remarkable affinity for chromate and had a potential application in Cr(VI) removal from water.
