Abstract: | In this study, the agricultural waste was used to screen for an organism that is capable of producing enzymes for degrading xylan and cellulose. Results showed that Streptomyces actuosus A-151, isolated from northern Taiwan, produced β-xylanase when rice bran was used as the sole carbon source. Four xylanases, designated as FI-A, FI-B, FII-A, FII-B, were identified and purified from the culture filtrate of S. actuosus A-151. Their specific activities after purification were 41.3, 86.2, 20.4, 85.2 U/mg, respectively. The pH stability of the four enzymes was: FI-A, 5–8; FI-B, 3–8; FII-A, 5–9; and FII-B, 3–9. The optimum pH for FII-B was 4, and the others were near 5–6. The optimum temperatures for enzyme activities were 60 °C for FII-B, and 70 °C for the others. The thermal stability for all four enzymes were up to 60 °C. The molecular weights of FI-A, FI-B, FII-A, and FII-B xylanases were 30,000, 45,000, 26,000, and 20,000, respectively, by sodium dodecylsulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 30,000, 43,000, 25,000, and 21,000, respectively, by gel filtration. Addition of xylan, shrimp and crab shell powder, and orange peel to the culture medium was found to enhance the production of xylanase. |
