Enzyme-aided bleaching of softwood and hardwood kraft pulps by glycosyl hydrolase family-10 and -11 xylanases and a family-26
mannanase was investigated. The ability to release reducing sugar from pulp xylan and to enhance bleachability is not a characteristic
shared by all xylanases. Of the six enzymes tested, two xylanases belonging to family 11 were most effective at increasing
bleachability and improving final paper brightness. None of the enzymes had a deleterious effect on pulp fibre integrity.
The efficiency of individual xylanases as bleach enhancers was not dependent on the source microorganism, and could not be
predicted solely on the basis of the quantity or nature of products released from pulp xylan. Cooperative interactions between
xylanase/xylanase and xylanase/mannanase combinations, during the pretreatment of softwood and hardwood pulps, were investigated.
Synergistic effects on reducing-sugar release and kappa number reduction were elicited by a combination of two family-10 xylanases.
Pretreatment of kraft pulp with mannanase A from Pseudomonas fluorescens subsp. cellulosa and any one of a number of xylanases resulted in increased release of reducing sugar and a larger reduction in kappa number
than obtained with the xylanases alone, confirming the beneficial effects of family-26 mannanases on enzyme-aided bleaching
of paper pulp.

Mannan and xylan present in bleached softwood dissolving pulp were found to be partially resistant to hemicellulases even
after repeated enzyme treatment. Despite the additional effect of an endoglucanase from Gloeophyllum sepiarium, which increased the␣accessibility of mannan and xylan to a mannanase from Sclerotium rolfsii and to a xylanase from Thermomyces lanuginosus, the enzyme mixture solubilized only half of the hemicellulose present in the pulp. Half of the remaining hemicellulose present
in the pulp appeared to be entrapped within the cellulose matrix while the other half was associated with lignin-carbohydrate
complexes. The latter hemicellulose portion was isolated and characterized. Chromatography and spectroscopic techniques revealed
the presence of two types of lignin-carbohydrate complex, a galactoglucomannan-lignin complex (degree of polymerization DP
50–60) and a xylan-lignin complex (DP >200).

Pitch control is an important aspect in pulp and paper manufacture, and the first example where microbial biotechnology provided
successful solutions in this industrial sector. Triglycerides cause deposits in softwood mechanical pulping, and both microbial
and enzymatic products have been commercialized to be applied on wood and pulp, respectively. The former are based on colorless
strains of sapstain fungi. The latter are improved lipases, including thermostable variants from directed evolution. These
enzymes are among the additives of choice in pulping of high-resin-content softwoods. However, lipases are not useful when
pitch originates from other lipids, such as steroids and terpenes, and the sapstain inocula are also only partially effective.
In the search for stronger biocatalysts to degrade recalcitrant lipids, the potential of white-rot fungi and their enzymes
has been demonstrated. When inocula of these fungi are used, wood treatment must be controlled to avoid cellulose degradation.
However, the efficiency and selectivity of the laccase-mediator system permits its integration as an additional bleaching
stage. A double benefit can be obtained from these treatments since pitch is controlled at the same time that residual lignin
is removed facilitating the implementation of totally chlorine free pulp bleaching. 相似文献

Investigation of lignin-carbohydrate complexes in kraft pulps by selective enzymatic treatments 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The occurrence of covalent bonds between residual lignin and polysaccharides in birch and pine kraft pulps was investigated
by specific enzymatic treatments. Pure enzymes degrading cellulose, xylan and mannan were used both separately and in combination.
Comparison of the molar masses of polysaccharides and lignin in the orginal pulps and in the residual pulps after enzymatic
treatments showed that residual lignin in birch kraft pulp is linked at least to xylan. A minor portion may also be linked
to cellulose. In pine kraft pulp some of the residual lignin appears to be linked to cellulose, glucomannan and xylan. The
linkages between lignin and cellulose and hemicelluloses may be either native or formed during pulp processing. The results
also provided new information on the synergistic action of cellulose- and hemicellulose-degrading enzymes on pulp fibres.
The synergism appears to be mainly due to the structure of the pulp fibres, with different layers of cellulose sheets, hemicelluloses
and lignin. On the other hand the results also provided information about fibre structure. The degradation of xylan clearly
enhanced the action of enzymes on cellulose, suggesting that xylan partially covers the cellulose. A similar phenomenon was
not observed in the simultaneous hydrolysis of glucomannan and cellulose. However, the results suggest that glucomannan does
interact with cellulose, possibly by non-covalent linkages.

Lipophilic extractives in wood and other lignocellulosic materials exert a negative impact in pulp and paper manufacturing causing the so-called pitch problems. In this work, the appropriateness of an enzymatic treatment using the laccase–mediator system for pitch biocontrol is evaluated. With this purpose, three pulp types representative for different raw materials and pulping processes—eucalypt kraft pulping, spruce thermomechanical pulping, and flax soda-anthraquinone pulping—were treated with a high-redox-potential laccase from the basidiomycete Pycnoporus cinnabarinus in the presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole as a redox mediator. The gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analyses of the lipophilic extractives from the enzymatically treated pulps revealed that the laccase–mediator treatment completely or greatly removed most of the pitch-causing lipophilic compounds present in the different pulps including: (1) free and conjugated sitosterol in eucalypt paper pulp; (2) resin acids, sterol esters, and triglycerides in spruce pulp; and (3) sterols and fatty alcohols in the flax pulp. Different amounts of free and conjugated 7-oxosterols were found as intermediate products in the oxidation of pulp sterols. Therefore, the laccase–mediator treatment is reported as an efficient method for removing pitch-causing lipophilic compounds from paper pulps obtained from hardwood, softwood, and nonwoody plants. 相似文献

On-line enzyme activity determination using the stopped-flow technique: application to laccase activity in pulp mill waste-water treatment 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
X. Font G. Caminal X. Gabarrell J. Lafuente M. T. Vicent 《Applied microbiology and biotechnology》1997,48(2):168-173
An automated system for on-line measurement of enzyme activity is proposed. The system uses a flow injection manifold in
the stopped-flow mode to measure initial reaction rates. The time during which the flow is halted is selected in such a way
as to optimise the enzyme/substrate ratio for the correct determination of activity values. The proposed system was used to
determine the activity of laccase produced by the fungus Trametes versicolor immobilised on nylon in a fixed-bed reactor used for treating pulp mill waste water.

A colorimetric bioassay has been developed enabling separation of wood pulp qualities based on the quantity of methyl-esterified galacturonan exposed on fiber surfaces. Thermomechanical pulp (TMP) and chemi-TMP (CTMP) had, respectively, 3.1 and 0.7 g galacturonan on the surface per mg wood pulp. The presence of galacturonan on the surface of TMP and CTMP was further confirmed by immunogold localization. 相似文献

A comparison of enzyme-aided bleaching of softwood paper pulp using combinations of xylanase, mannanase and α-galactosidase 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Clarke JH Davidson K Rixon JE Halstead JR Fransen MP Gilbert HJ Hazlewood GP 《Applied microbiology and biotechnology》2000,53(6):661-667
Enzymatic pretreatment of softwood kraft pulp was investigated using xylanase A (XylA) from Neocallimastix patriciarum in combination with mannanase and α-galactosidase. Mannanase A (ManA) from Pseudomonas fluorescens subsp. cellulosa and ManA from Clostridium thermocellum, both family 26 glycosyl hydrolases, are structurally diverse and exhibit different pH and temperature optima. Although neither
mannanase was effective in pretreating softwood pulp alone, both enzymes were able to enhance the production of reducing sugar
and the reduction of single-stage bleached κ number when used with the xylanase. Sequential incubations with XylA and P. fluorescens ManA produced the largest final κ number reduction in comparison to control pretreated pulp. The release of galactose from
softwood pulp by α-galactosidase A (AgaA) from P. fluorescens was enhanced by the presence of ManA from the same microorganism, and a single pretreatment with these enzymes, in combination
with XylA, gave the most effective κ number reduction using a single incubation. Results indicated that mixtures of hemicellulase
activities can be chosen to enhance pulp bleachability.

Removal of organic pollutants and of nitrate from wastewater from the dairy industry by denitrification 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The aim of this work was to remove nitrate-N and organic pollutants from wastewater of the dairy industry by denitrification.
An artificially prepared wastewater, containing 250 mg/l nitrate-N and 1.5 g/l whey powder, was completely denitrified with
removal of 90%–93% of the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the whey powder by suspended or immobilized mixed cultures and by
a suspended or immobilized pure culture that was isolated from the mixed culture inoculum. For the above COD/nitrate-N ratio
of 6:1, the results indicated that the organic compounds of the wastewater served as electron donors for complete denitrification
and that there was no need to add an external carbon source. In batch denitrification assays the suspended or immobilized
mixed cultures proved to be more active and reacted faster than the isolated pure cultures. In continuous denitrification
processes with immobilized pure or mixed cultures, the alginate beads, used for immobilization, were not stable for more than
12 days of incubation. The mixed free cultures removed the nitrate-N and COD continuously with no change of their activity
for at least 15 days at an optimum hydraulic retention time of 0.27 days with a loading rate of 900 mg nitrate-N l−1 day−1.

In recent years, it has become clear that the rapidly acidifying chemical oxygen demand (RACOD) content of the waste water
and the surface tension of the reactor liquid contribute to the phenomenon of granular growth in upflow anaerobic sludge-blanket
reactors (UASB). By adding 20% of directly soluble RACOD, in the form of a sucrose/starch mixture, on top of the original
COD load and by adjusting the reactor liquid surface tension below 50 mN m−1 with linear alkylbenzenesulphonate, granular growth and sludge-bed stability could be enhanced significantly within 40 days.
Carrot pulp, a waste product having a high short-chain fatty acid precursor potential, was applied as an alternative fibrous
RACOD source. Best results were obtained when adding the carrot pulp freshly to the laboratory-scale UASB reactor in an in-recycle
liquefying chamber. This concept of adding carrot pulp waste product as a granular growth supplement by means of an in-recycle
liquefying chamber therefore merits testing in practice.

This study deals with combining the biologi cal removal of organic halogens with the removal of nitrogen from bleached kraft
pulp mill wastewater in fluidized-bed reactors under nitrifying and denitrifying conditions. Untreated and biotreated bleached
kraft pulp mill wastewaters had no detrimental effect on nitrification or denitrification. The nitrifying biofilm reactor,
pregrown on synthetic inorganic feed with ammonia, removed without a lag phase adsorbable organic halogens [7.2 mg Cl (g biomass
volatile solids)−1day−1] from bleached kraft pulp mill wastewater and selected chlorophenols from synthetic wastewater. Electron microscopical examination
of the biofilm showed that bacteria, morphologically similar to the nitrifying species Nitrosomonas or Nitrobacter, and Nitrosospira were dominant. The denitrifying fluidized-bed reactor, pregrown on nitrate and methanol, denitrified without a lag phase bleached
kraft pulp mill wastewater. Under denitrifying conditions, 35% of the total organic carbon content of untreated bleached kraft
pulp mill waste water was removed. The reducing power delivered by untreated bleached kraft pulp mill wastewater for denitrification
was 2 mmol electrons/mmol carbon mineralized. Dechlorination under denitrifying conditions was negligible.

The continuous fermentation of 1,3-propanediol from glycerol by Clostridium butyricum was subjected to cell recycling by filtration using hollow-fibre modules made from polysulphone. The performance of the culture
system was checked at a retention ratio (dilution rate/bleed rate) of 5, dilution rates between 0.2 h−1 and 1.0 h−1 and glycerol input concentrations of 32 g l−1 and 56 g l−1. The near-to-optimum propanediol concentration of 26.5 g l−1 (for 56 g l−1 glycerol) was maintained up to a dilution rate of 0.5 h−1 and then decreased while the propanediol productivity was highest at 0.7 h−1. The productivity could be increased by a factor of four in comparison to the continuous culture without cell recycling.
By application of the model of Zeng and Deckwer [(1995) Biotechnol Prog 11: 71–79] for cultures under substrate excess, it
was shown that the limitations resulted exclusively from product inhibition and detrimental influences from the cell recycling
system, such as shear stress, were not involved.

Ethanol-precipitated substances after fermentation of various agro-industrial wastes by Aureobasidium pullulans were examined for their pullulan content. Grape skin pulp extract, starch waste, olive oil waste effluents and molasses served
as substrates for the fermentation. A glucose-based defined medium was used for comparison purposes. Samples were analysed
by an enzyme-coupled assay method and by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection
after enzymic hydrolysis with pullulanase. Fermentation of grape skin pulp extract gave 22.3 g l−1 ethanol precipitate, which was relatively pure pullulan (97.4% w/w) as assessed by the coupled-enzyme assay. Hydrolysed starch
gave only 12.9 g l−1 ethanol precipitate, which increased to 30.8 g l−1 when the medium was supplemented with NH4NO3 and K2HPO4; this again was relatively pure pullulan (88.6% w/w). Molasses and olive oil wastes produced heterogeneous ethanol-precipitated
substances containing small amounts of pullulan, even when supplemented with nitrogen and phosphate. Overall, grape skin pulp
should be considered as the best substrate for pullulan production. Starch waste requires several hydrolyis steps to provide
a usable carbon source, which reduces its economic attraction as an industrial process.

During laccase-catalyzed oxidation of beech wood fibers in an aqueous suspension, phenoxy radicals were detected in steady-state
concentrations by electron-spin resonance (ESR) spectrometry of the suspension liquid, suggesting that colloidal lignin functions
as a mediator between laccase and the fiber lignin matrix. Phenoxy radicals were observed directly, whereas ESR spin-trapping
techniques gave no evidence for reduced oxygen species, such as the superoxide or hydroxyl radical. A reaction mechanism involving
parallel direct oxidation of the lignin on fiber surfaces and a phenol/phenoxy cyclic mediator process in the suspension liquid
could accordingly describe laccase-catalyzed oxidation of beech wood fibers. Cytochrome c assays for detection of superoxide in systems involving lignin oxidized by oxidoreductases should be used with caution, as
cytochrome c may be reduced by species other than superoxide.

Mode of depolymerisation of hemicellulose by various mannanases and xylanases in relation to their ability to bleach softwood pulp 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Endo-mannanases and endo-xylanases cleave different heteromannans and xylans yielding mainly dimers and trimers of the corresponding
sugars as end-products. However, in the early stages of hydrolysis, four purified mannanases and four xylanases from fungal
and bacterial origin, examined in this study, showed a different pattern of released oligomers (determined up to the pentamers).
Furthermore, some of these enzymes showed a preference for cleaving the polysaccharides in the middle of the chain while others
acted more at the end. When the increase in the specific fluidity of mannan and xylan solutions per reducing sugar released
(K
v) was measured against the bleaching effect of the enzymes on softwood kraft pulp, a correlation was found. A xylanase from
Penicillium simplicissimum (K
v = 0.15 l mPa−1s−1g−1) and a mannanase from Sclerotium rolfsii (K
v = 0.12 l mPa−1s−1g−1) applied in a O(QX)P bleaching sequence (O = oxygen delignification, X = treatment with hemicellulolytic enzymes, Q = chelation
of metals, P = treatment with hydrogen peroxide in alkaline solution) gave a high brightness increase of 3.0% and 1.9% ISO
respectively. A less significant brightness increase was obtained with enzymes showing lower K
v values, such as a xylanase from Schizophyllum commune (Kv = 0.051 l mPa−1s−1g−1, 0.2% ISO) and a bacterial mannanase (K
v = 0.061 l mPa−1s−1g−1,0.5% ISO).

The 4′-hydroxylated metabolite of diclofenac was produced by biocatalysis for probing specific human drug-metabolising enzymes
(CYP2C9). An initial screen of 11 microorganisms was carried out (50 ml scale) to identify the organism best suited to the
regioselective conversion of diclofenac to its 4′-hydroxylated metabolite. From this screen, the fungus Epicoccum nigrum IMI354292 was selected as the most suitable microorganism. Scale-up was carried out in a 30-l fermenter to which 2 g diclofenac
was added. After 48 h, 50% of the diclofenac had been converted to it 4′-hydroxylated metabolite. The broth was then extracted
with ethyl acetate and purified by chromatography and crystallisation. This yielded 0.3 g 4′-hydroxydiclofenac with a purity
of at least 99%. The 4′-hydroxydiclofenac produced by E. nigrum was characterised by HPLC, mass spectrometry and NMR.

Substrate selectivity of various lipases in the esterification of cis- and trans-9-octadecenoic acid
The substrate selectivity of numerous commercially available lipases from microorganisms, plants and animal tissue towards
9-octadecenoic acids with respect to the cis/trans configuration of the CC double bond was examined by the esterification of cis- and trans-9-octadecanoic acid (oleic and elaidic acid respectively) with n-butanol in n-hexane. A great number of lipases studied, e.g. those from Pseudomonas sp., porcine pancreas or Carica papaya, were unable to discriminate between the isomeric 9-octadecenoic acids. However, lipases from Candida cylindracea and Mucor miehei catalysed the esterification of oleic acid 3–4 times faster than the corresponding reaction of elaidic acid and therefore
have a high preference for the cis isomer. Of all biocatalysts examined, only recombinant lipases from Candidaantarctica favoured elaidic acid as substrate. While the preference of Candida antarctica lipase B for the trans isomer was quite low, Candida antarctica lipase A had an extraordinary substrate selectivity and its immobilized enzyme preparation [Chirazyme L-5 (3) from Boehringer]
esterified elaidic acid about 15 times faster than oleic acid.

Potato pulp: microbiological characterization, physical modification, and application of this agricultural waste product 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Potato pulp, one of the agricultural waste products obtained in high quantities during starch production, contains starch,
cellulose, hemicelluloses, pectin, proteins, free amino acids and salts. It exhibits physical and physicochemical properties
of a typical colloid. It is mainly used, in a dried and pelleted form, as cattle feed. Its autochthonic microbial flora (bacteria,
fungi) was identified and studied with a view towards the degradative potential of the microorganisms and ways of conserving
the pulp for subsequent technical applications; 33 isolates (28 bacteria, 4 fungi, 1 yeast), belonging to 15 genera were characterized.
Biological conservation was possible at very low oxygen pressure, brought about by the autochthonic anaerobic microorganisms
causing acidification. Chemical conservation was achieved with sorbic aicd. By treatment with hot water vapour under pressure
(autoclaving), followed by a pressure release procedure, intact cells in the pulp (both potato cells and microorganisms, not
spores) were destroyed, and their contents and wall fragments were set free. This process resulted in low drying costs and
was a prerequisite for the production of a powder that can be used as glue or as animal feed.

A marine bacterium isolated from a coastal hydrocarbon-polluted sediment has been described and attributed on the basis of
its phenotypic and genotypic characteristics to the genus Sphingomonas sp. This strain was capable of using an alkylated phenanthrene 2-methylphenanthrene, as sole source of carbon and energy.
In experiments, 2-methylphenanthrene (0.2 g/l) was added as crystals to the culture medium. After 5 days of aerobic growth
at 30 °C, 70% was degraded and the complete dissipation occurred after 20 days. Furthermore, the strain could degrade various
kinds of polyaromatic compounds, but failed to grow on aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Activation of fibres by radical formation is the first step when aiming at oxidative coupling of new functional groups on the fibre bound lignin. In this work, factors affecting the amount of phenoxy radicals created to unbleached TMP, CTMP, softwood kraft and hardwood kraft pulp fibres in the laccase catalysed oxidation were determined by EPR. Laccase was able to catalyse the oxidation of all the pulps studied. The reactivity of the pulp was found to be affected by both the physical accessibility of lignin in the fibres and the chemistry of the surface lignin accessible to laccase. Laccase dosage, use of extra oxygen in the laccase catalysed radicalization reaction, treatment time and also the amount and type of low-molecular weight compounds (LMWC) present in the pulp were all found to contribute to the radical content of pulp fibres measured after the enzymatic reaction. It could not been excluded that two types of reactions take place during the radical formation in fibres. Within the fibre matrix there may be both fibre material bound and soluble lignin fragments differing with respect to accessibility, molecular weight or chemical structure which can be radicalized at various rates, and the formed radicals may also undergo cross-coupling reactions reducing the amount of the total radicals. 相似文献
