A new mesophilic anaerobic cellulolytic bacterium, CM126, was isolated from an anaerobic sewage sludge digester. The organism was non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, Gram-negative and motile with peritrichous flagella. It fermented microcrystalline Avicel cellulose, xylan, Solka floc cellulose, filter paper, L-arabinose, D-xylose, β-methyl xyloside, D-glucose, cellobiose and xylitol and produced indole. The % G + C content was 36. Acetic acid, ethanol, lactic acid, pyruvic acid, carbon dioxide and hydrogen were produced as metabolic products. This strain could grow at 20–44·5°C and at pH values 5·2–7·4 with optimal growth at 37–41·5°C and pH 7. Both endoglucanase and xylanase were detected in the supernatant fluid of a culture grown on medium containing Avicel cellulose and cellobiose. Exoglucanase could not be found in either supernatant fluid or the cell lysate. When cellulose and cellobiose fermentation were compared, the enzyme production rate in cellobiose fermentation was higher than in cellulose fermentation. The optimum pH for both enzyme activities was 5·0, the optimum temperature was 40°C for the endoglucanase and 50°C for the xylanase. Both enzyme activities were inhibited at 70°C. Co-culture of this organism with a Methanosarcina sp. (A145) had no effect on cellulose degradation and both endoglucanase and xylanase were stable in the co-culture. 相似文献

Streptomyces sp. LX, newly isolated from soil, was shown to secrete a carboxylmethylcellulose (CMC)-liquefying enzyme that cleaves the CMC chains, releasing negligible reducing terminals. The new enzyme, named component C2 , was purified to homogeneity by dialysation. It has a molecular mass of 9·8 kDa. The pH optimum of the enzyme activity is 6·4 and its temperature optimum is 50°C. It retains full activity at pH 4–6·4 upon incubation at 50°C for 30 min. The enzyme has significant fragmentation activity on filter paper despite the absence of weight loss, release of reducing sugars and depolymerization during incubation with filter paper. The one-electron oxidative reaction is shown not to participate in the fragmentation of filter paper by enzyme C2 . 相似文献

A proteinase from the larval midgut of Vespa orientalis was purified by exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and gel filtration on Sephadex G-75. This purified enzyme was proved to be homogeneous by electrophoresis on a cellulose acetate membrane. The molecular weight was calculated to be 27,000 by gel filtration. Optimum pH for the hydrolysis of N-benzoyl-arginine-ethyl ester (BAEE) was 7·5 to 8·5, and optimum temperature with casein as a substrate was 60°C at pH 8·0 for 20 min. According to studies with synthetic inhibitors the hornet protease belongs to the ‘serine proteases’, being inhibited by phenylmethyl sulphonylfluoride (PMSF) and tosyl-lysyl chloromethane (TLCK). The hydrolysis of different amino acid ester bonds and the cleavage specificity on the B chain of oxidized insulin allow us to speak of a trypsin-like protease. 相似文献

Aims: A new cellobiohydrolase (CBH) gene ( cbh3 ) from Chaetomium thermophilum was cloned, sequenced and expressed in Pichia pastoris .
Methods and Results: Using RACE-PCR, a new thermostable CBH gene ( cbh3 ) was cloned from C. thermophilum . The cDNA of the CBH was 1607 bp and contained a 1356 bp open reading frame encoding a protein CBH precursor of 451 amino acid residues. The mature protein structure of C. thermophilum CBH3 only comprises a catalytic domain and lacks cellulose-binding domain and a hinge region. The gene was expressed in P. pastoris . The recombinant CBH purified was a glycoprotein with a size of about 48·0 kDa, and exhibited optimum catalytic activity at pH 5·0 and 60 °C. The enzyme was more resistant to high temperature. The CBH could hydrolyse microcrystalline cellulose and filter paper.
Conclusions: A new thermostable CBH gene of C. thermophilum was cloned, sequenced and overexpressed in P. pastoris .
Significance and Impact of the Study: This CBH offers an interesting potential in saccharification steps in both cellulose enzymatic conversion and alcohol production. 相似文献

Two species of Bacillus producing thermostable α-amylase with activity optima at alkaline pH are reported here. These organisms were isolated from soil and have been designated as Bacillus licheniformis CUMC 305 and B. coagulans CUMC 512. The enzymes released by these two species were partially purified up to about 81- and 72-fold respectively of the initial activity. The enzyme from B. licheniformis showed a wide temperature-range of activity, with optimum at 91°C. At this temperature it remained stable for 1 h. It retained 40–50% activity at 110°C and showed only 60% of its activity at 30°C. The enzyme showed a broad pH range of activity (4–10) retaining substantial activity on the alkaline side. The optimum pH was 9·5. The enzyme of B. coagulans showed activity up to 90°C, with optimum at 85°C and had a wide pH range with optimum at 7·5–8·5. The hydrolysis pattern of the substrate starch by these enzymes indicated that glucose, maltose, maltotriose and maltotetraose are the principal products rather than higher oligosaccharides. 相似文献

A net purification of 9·46-, 18·6- and 16·7-fold for filter paper (FP) hydrolytic activity, carboxymethyl (CM) cellulase and β-glucosidase, respectively was achieved through ion exchange and gel chromatographies. The purified enzyme preparation showed an optimal pH of 5·0 for CM cellulase and 5·5 for the other two components. The enzyme activities increased up to 60°–65°C for the three enzyme components and they were stable at 30° or 40°C and pH 4·5 to 5·0 after 20–30 min treatment. The four enzyme components, that is, two FP activities (unadsorbed and adsorbed), a CM cellulase and a β-glucosidase, had Km values of 47·6 mg, 33·3 mg, 4·0 mg and 0·18 mmol/l with V max of 4, 1·28, 66·5 and 1·28 units per mg protein. The molecular weights as determined with SDS-PAGE were found to be 44000, 38000, 55000 and 63000 for the above four enzyme components in the same sequence. A distinct type of synergistic action was observed between these components by their action on dewaxed cotton. Glycerol at 1% strongly repressed the formation of all the cellulolytic enzymes. The role of proteolytic enzymes in in vitro inactivation of cellulases was not apparent. 相似文献

An alkaline xylanase-producing alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. AR-009 was isolated from analkaline soda lake in Ethiopia. The enzyme was optimally active at pH 9 and was stable over abroad pH range. The optimum temperature for xylanase activity, assayed at pH 9, was60°–65°C. Measured at pH 8 and 9, the enzyme had good stability at 55° and60°C. At both pH values, over 80% of its original activity was retained after heating for2·5 h at 55°C. At 60°C, the enzyme maintained 63% of its original activity after2·5 h incubation while at pH 9 it retained 54% of its original activity after 1 h heating. Theseproperties qualify the enzyme to be novel and potentially important for application in someindustrial processes. 相似文献

A catabolite-derepressed mutant strain of Aspergillus terreus NA-170 was isolated by multi-step mutagenesis. The mutant produced an appreciable yield of glucoamylase in the culture medium. The enzyme was purified and was shown to be homogeneous. It hydrolysed successive glucose residues from the non-reducing end of starch molecules. The purified enzyme had an optimum pH of 5·0 and was stable over the pH range 3·0–7·0. It was highly active over a broad temperature range, 30–75°C, with optimal activity at 60°C. The molecular weight was 70 000 as determined by Sephadex G-200 filtration. The enzyme showed a decrease in K m values with increasing chain length of the substrate molecule. 相似文献

Saccharomycopsis fibuligera ST 2 produced high levels of extracellular amylase during the stationary phase of growth. Glucose or other low molecular weight metabolizable sugars did not repress the synthesis of the amylase, indicating the lack of catabolite repression in this organism. Of the nitrogen sources examined, yeast extract and corn steep liquor stimulated the highest yield of amylase. Ammonium sulphate inhibited α-amylase synthesis. The enzyme was purified 118-fold from the culture supernatant fluid by isopropanol precipitation and DEAE-Sephadex A50 chromatography. The purified enzyme was characterized as an α-amylase. The α-amylase had the following properties: molecular weight, 40900 ± 500; optimum temperature, 60°C; activation energy, 1600 cal/mol; optimum pH, 4·8–6·0; range of pH stability, pH 4·0–9·4; Km (50°C, pH 5·5) for soluble starch, 0·572 mg/ml; final products of starch hydrolysis—glucose, maltose, maltotriose and maltotetraose. 相似文献

Effects of sporulation pH on the heat resistance and the sporulation of Bacillus cereus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Spores of Bacillus cereus ATCC 7004, 4342 and 9818 were obtained in nutrient agar at several pH from 5·9 to 8·3. The optimum pH for sporulation was around 7, but good production of spores was obtained in the range 6·5–8·3. With all three strains, D -values clearly dropped with sporulation pH, decreasing by about 65% per pH unit. z -Values were not significantly modified ( P > 0·05) by this factor. Mean z -values of 7·13 °C ± 0·16 for strain 7004, 7·67 °C ± 0·04 for 4342 and 8·80 °C ± 0·64 for 9818 were obtained. 相似文献

Thermoactinomyces thalpophilus isolated from flour mill wastes was found to produce extracellular amylase in shake flask cultures using sorghum as carbon source. Sorghum in mineral salts medium significantly supported a higher rate of amylase synthesis by the organism than soluble starch, giving peak amylase activity at the stationary phase. The optimum temperature and pH of the enzyme was 90°C and 5·0, respectively, with more than 50% enzyme activity retained at 100°C (30 min). 相似文献

Cellulases find increasing prominence in sustainable production of fuel and feedstock from lignocellulosic biomass. The purification and biochemical characterization of individual components of cellulase complex is important to understand the mechanism of their action for the solubilization of crystalline cellulose. In this study, an extra-cellular endoglucanase isolated from culture filtrate of Penicillium pinophilum MS 20 was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulphate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The purified endoglucanase (specific activity 69 U/mg) was a monomeric protein with molecular mass of 42 kDa, as determined by SDS-PAGE. The endoglucanase was active over a broad range of pH (4-7) with maximum activity at pH 5 and showed optimum temperature of 50 degrees C. It retained 100% activity at 50 degrees C for 6 h and half- lives of 4 h and 3 h at 60 degrees C and 70 degrees C, respectively. The kinetic constants for the endoglucanase determined with carboxymethyl cellulose as substrate were V(max) of 72.5 U/mg and apparent K(m) of 4.8 mg/ml. The enzyme also showed moderate activity towards H3PO4 swollen cellulose and p-nitrophenyl beta-D-glucoside, but no activity towards filter paper, Avicel and oat spelt xylan. The activity was positively modulated by 47, 32 and 25% in the presence of Co2+, Zn2+ and Mg2+, respectively to the reaction mixture. The wide pH stability (4-7) and temperature stability up to 50 degrees C of endoglucanase makes the enzyme suitable for use in cellulose saccharification at moderate temperature and pH. 相似文献

Keratinolytic activity from the broth of a feather-degrading thermophilic Streptomyces thermoviolaceus strain SD8 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Keratinolytic activity was detected in the culture broth of feather-degrading thermophilic Streptomyces thermoviolaceus SD8. The crude enzyme was concentrated by precipitation with 80% saturation of ammonium sulphate and desalted by SephadexG-10–120 gel chromatography followed by lyophilization. The specific activity of the enzyme was enhanced 50-fold. PAGE analysis indicated a monomeric form with a molecular weight of 40 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature for production of the enzyme were 8 and 55 °C, respectively. The enzyme was stable at a pH range of 6·5–8·5 and up to 65 °C. The enzyme could hydrolyse fibrin, muscle, collagen, nail and hair and could produce leucine, threonine and tyrosine from feather. It could be a useful enzyme for waste treatment by promoting hydrolysis of the above substances in the sewage, or it could be used for animal feed preparation. 相似文献

An extracellular β-glucosidase enzyme was purified from the fungus Aspergillus niger strain 322 . The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be 64 kDa by SDS gel electrophoresis. Optimal pH and temperature for β-glucosidase were 5·5 and 50 °C, respectively. Purified enzyme was stable up to 50 °C and pH between 2·0 and 5·5. The Km was 0·1 mmol l−1 for cellobiose. Enzyme activity was inhibited by several divalent metal ions. 相似文献

The effect of temperature, pH and medium in a surface adhesion immunofluorescent technique for detection of Listeria monocytogenes 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
A rapid surface adhesion-based immunofluorescence technique was used to detect Listeria monocytogenes from inoculated culture systems. The effect of culture type (pure, mixed and meat), pH (7·00, 6·40, 4·76 and 3·13), acids (citric and HCl) and temperature (25°, 30° and 37°C) on the adhesion of Listeria to the polycarbonate membrane used in this technique was determined. It was found that pH had a significant effect ( P < 0·05) with higher numbers of Listeria adhering at low pH values (4·76). Culture type was also important with significantly higher numbers of Listeria ( P < 0·05) adhering to membranes immersed in meat cultures than in pure or mixed cultures. This effect was seen at 30°C but not at 25° or 37°C. The total viable count (TVC) on the membrane was unaffected by pH but temperature had an influence with optimum adhesion occurring at 25°C. The reasons for observed differences and their implications for the surface adhesion immunofluorescent rapid method are discussed. 相似文献

The production and stability of pediocin N5p from Pediococcus pentosaceus , isolated from wine, were examined in grape juice medium. Maximum growth and higher titre (4000 U ml-1 ) were observed at a initial pH of 7·5 and 30°C. The activity of the inhibitory substance was stable between pH values from 2·0 to 5·0 at 4° and 30°C. At pH 10·0 it was completely inactivated. When submitted to 30 min at 80°, 100° and 115°C, maximal stability was observed at pH 2·0. Ethanol up to 10% did not affect pediocin activity at acid pH, nor did 40–80 mg 1-1 SO2 , independently or combined with different ethanol concentrations, affect inhibitory activity. 相似文献

A novel gene (designated as cen219) encoding endoglucanase was isolated from a Bursaphelenchus xylophilus metagenomic library by functional screening. Sequence analysis revealed that cen219 encoded a protein of 367 amino acids. SDS-PAGE analysis of purified endoglucanase suggested that Cen219 was a monomeric enzyme with a molecular mass of 40 kDa. The optimum temperature and pH for endoglucanase activity of Cen219 was separately 50°C and 6.0. It was stable from 30 to 50°C, and from pH 4.0 to 7.0. The activity was significantly enhanced by Mn2+ and dramatically reduced by detergent SDS and metals Fe3+, Cu2+ or Hg2+. The enzyme hydrolyzed a wide range of β-1, 3-, and β-1, 4-linked polysaccharides, with varying activities. Activities towards microcrystalline cellulose and filter paper were relatively high, while the highest activity was towards oat gum. The Km and Vmax of Cen219 towards CMC was 17.37 mg/ml and 333.33 U/mg, respectively. The findings have an insight into understanding the molecular basis of host–parasite interactions in B. xylophilus species. The properties also make Cen219 an interesting enzyme for biotechnological application. 相似文献

A newly isolated strain of the fungus, Mucor circinelloides (NRRL 26519), when grown on lactose, cellobiose, or Sigmacell 50 produces complete cellulase (endoglucanase, cellobiohydrolase, and β-glucosidase) system. The extracellular endoglucanase (EG) was purified to homogeneity from the culture supernatant by ethanol precipitation (75%, v/v), CM Bio-Gel A column chromatography, and Bio-Gel A-0.5 m gel filtration. The purified EG (specific activity 43.33 U/mg protein) was a monomeric protein with a molecular weight of 27 000. The optimum temperature and pH for the action of the enzyme were at 55 °C and 4.0–6.0, respectively. The purified enzyme was fully stable at pH 4.0–7.0 and temperature up to 60 °C. It hydrolysed carboxymethyl cellulose and insoluble cellulose substrates (Avicel, Solka-floc, and Sigmacell 50) to soluble cellodextrins. No glucose, cellobiose, and short chain cellooligosaccarides were formed from these substrates. The purified EG could not degrade oat spelt xylan and larch wood xylan. It bound to Avicell, Solka-floc, and Sigmacell 50 at pH 5.0 and the bound enzyme was released by changing the pH to 8.0. The enzyme activity was enhanced by 27±5 and 44±14% by the addition of 5 mM MgCl2 and 0.5 mM CoCl2, respectively, to the reaction mixture. Comparative properties of this enzyme with other fungal EGs are presented. 相似文献

A thermostable amylase-producing Bacillus sp. WN11 was isolated from Wondo Genet hot spring in Ethiopia. The enzyme had a temperature optimum of 75–80 °C. Over 80% of its peak activity was in the pH range of 5–8, with an optimum at 5·5. Thermal stability of the enzyme at 105 °C was higher with the addition of starch. The stabilizing effect of starch was concentration-dependent, showing better stability with increasing concentration of starch. At liquefying temperature (105 °C), addition of Ca2+ did not result in further improvement of the stabilizing effect of starch. This indicates that in the presence of starch, WN11 amylase does not require Ca2+ as a stabilizer at liquefying temperatures as high as 105 °C. 相似文献
