Degumming and characterization of ramie fibre using pectate lyase from immobilized Bacillus pumilus DKS1

Aims:  The present study was aimed at finding the optimal conditions for the production of pectate lyase using immobilized Bacillus pumilus DKS1 cells in calcium-alginate (Ca-alginate) beads and determining the efficient degumming of ramie fibre.
Methods and Results:  The active cells of B. pumilus DKS1 were immobilized in Ca-alginate and used for the production of pectate lyase. The production of enzyme increased significantly with increasing alginate concentration and reached a maximum enzyme yield of 38·5 U ml⁻¹ at 18 g l⁻¹. This was about 1·5-fold higher than that obtained by free cells. Degummed fibre using immobilized cells showed better tenacity than that prepared by using nonimmobilized cells.
Conclusions:  The Ca-alginate entrapment is a promising immobilization method of B. pumilus DKS1 for semicontinuous enzyme production. Enzyme production by immobilized cells is superior to that of free cells because it leads to higher volumetric activities within the same period of fermentation. Fibre degumming by using immobilized cells produced better quality fibre.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  This is the first report of degumming of fibre using enzyme from immobilized B. pumilus cells as per our knowledge. High-quality degummed fibre could be prepared with relatively inexpensive inputs for use in the textile and paper industry.     

Characterization and high-level expression of a metagenome-derived alkaline pectate lyase in recombinant Escherichia coli

Alkaline pectate lyases (PLs) play an important role in mild and eco-friendly bioscouring pretreatment processes in the textile industry. However, to date, only a few PLs can be applied in industrial-scale production, and many of them exhibit high production cost, low activity, and/or do not meet the treatment requirements. In this study, an alkaline PL gene was cloned from the metagenomic DNA of alkaline environment soils. The gene pelB consisted of 1263 nucleotides and encoded a mature protein (PelB) of 399 amino acids, which was expressed in Escherichia coli. The maximum catalytic activity of the enzyme exhibited a bimodal distribution at pH 8.1 and 9.8 and an optimal temperature of 55 °C. The K_m and V_max values of PelB were 1.78 g/L and 1084.8 μmol/(L min) at 45 °C, respectively. Substrate specificity analysis demonstrated the high cleavage capability of PelB on a broad range of substrates of natural methylated pectin. Based on the degradation products, PelB was considered to be an endo-acting lyase. Using high-cell-density cultivation in 7-L bioreactor, the highest PL activity (1816.2 U/mL) was achieved. Thus, the recombinant PelB, with promising properties for use in bioscouring in the textile pretreatment process, should be a potential enzyme for industrial applications.     

Characterization and overproduction of a thermo-alkaline pectate lyase from alkaliphilic Bacillus licheniformis with potential in ramie degumming

A thermo-alkaline pectate lyase (BliPelA) gene from an alkaliphilic Bacillus licheniformis strain was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. Mature BliPelA exhibited maximum activity at pH 11 and 70 °C, and demonstrated cleavage capability on a broad range of substrates such as polygalacturonic acid, pectins, and methylated pectins. The highest specific activity, of 320 U mg⁻¹, was towards polygalacturonic acid. Significant ramie (Boehmeria nivea) fiber weight loss (21.5%) was obtained following enzyme treatment and combined enzyme-chemical treatment (29.3%), indicating a high ramie degumming efficiency of BliPelA. The total activity of recombinant BliPelA reached 1450.1 U ml⁻¹ with a productivity of 48.3 U ml⁻¹ h⁻¹ under high-cell-density cultivation with a glycerol exponential feeding strategy for 30 h in 1-l fed-batch fermenter, and 1380.1 U ml⁻¹ with a productivity of 57.5 U ml⁻¹ h⁻¹ after 24 h under constant glucose feeding in a 20-l fermenter using E. coli as the host. The enzyme yields reached 4.5 and 4.3 g l⁻¹ in 1-l and 20-l fed-batch fermenters, respectively, which are higher than those of most reported alkaline Pels. Based on these promising properties and high-level production, BliPelA shows great potential for application in ramie degumming in textile industry.     

Hyperinduction of pectate lyase in Dickeya chrysanthemi EC16 by plant-derived sugars

Pectate lyase (Pel) synthesis in Dickeya chrysanthemi has been reported to be hyperinduced in planta and also in the medium containing plant extract in addition to polygalacturonate. In this study, the major components of Pel-hyperinducing fractions were found to be glucose, fructose, and sucrose by TLC and NMR. From the analysis of the sugars and their derivatives, it was found that acyclic d-hexoses with the trans relationship between C-3 and C-5 hydroxyl groups were found to be basic structure required for hyperinducing the expression of a major isozyme in infected plants (i.e. pelE). From the fact that some non-metabolizable sugars such as 2-deoxy-d-glucose and d-fucose could lead to hyperinduction and that the hyperinduction was observed only in the medium containing low concentration (<0.25%) but not higher of the sugars was added, these sugars may be considered to participate in hyperinduction as the signal rather than through their metabolism.     

Production of biosurfactant at mesophilic and thermophilic conditions by a strain of Bacillus subtilis

The ability of a Bacillus subtilis strain to grow and produce biosurfactant on different carbon and nitrogen sources under thermophilic conditions (45°C) was studied. The strain was able to reduce surface tension to 34 dynes cm⁻¹ on 2% sucrose, and 32 dynes cm⁻¹ on starch after 96 h of growth. The biosurfactant was stable at 100°C and within a wide pH range (3.0–11.0). Biosurfactant formation at mesophilic conditions (30°C) was also studied. The organism was able to produce the maximum amount of biosurfactant when nitrate ions were supplied as the nitrogen source. The potential application of the biosurfactant in oil recovery from desert oil fields, acidic and alkaline environments is demonstrated. The biosurfactant was identical to surfactin as confirmed by TLC and IR analysis. Received 29 May 1997/ Accepted in revised form 03 October 1997
