来源于青霉XMZ-9两个低温脂肪酶的基因克隆、原核表达与性质测定

低温脂肪酶在低温条件下仍具有较高活性,在食品添加剂、洗涤添加剂及有机合成等产业具有非常独特的应用前景。从低温菌株中分离低温脂肪酶基因是开发新的低温脂肪酶的有效手段。首先利用油脂同化平板与三丁酸甘油酯-维多利亚蓝平板从冰川土样中筛选分离获得一株具有较高脂肪酶活性的真菌,18S rDNA鉴定其属于青霉属,命名为Penicillium sp.XMZ-9。根据真菌脂肪酶多序列比对获得的保守区,设计简并引物,利用降落PCR与染色体步移的方法从Penicillium sp.XMZ-9中克隆到2个完整的脂肪酶基因,分别记为LipA与LipB。LipA全长1 014 bp,无内含子,编码337个氨基酸。而LipB全长1 232 bp,cDNA长1 122 bp,含有2个内含子,编码373个氨基酸。将两基因的cDNA序列克隆到pET30a(+)载体上,转化大肠杆菌Escherichiacoli BL21(DE3)。经低温诱导表达后,LipA大部分表达为包涵体,包涵体经复性后具有脂肪酶活性,并表现出低温适应性;LipB则大部分表达为可溶性蛋白,Ni-亲和层析柱纯化后,其亦具有低温脂肪酶活性。青霉菌株XMZ-9的获得与低温脂肪酶的克隆表达研究,为研究低温菌株与低温酶的适冷机制提供了宝贵的资源,也为进一步开发利用低温脂肪酶奠定了基础。     

Cellulases from two Penicillium sp. strains isolated from subtropical forest soil: production and characterization

AIMS: To isolate new fungal strains from subtropical soils and to identify those that produce high cellulase activity. To select microbial strains producing thermostable cellulases with potential application in industry. METHODS AND RESULTS: The new strains Penicillium sp. CR-316 and Penicillium sp. CR-313 have been identified and selected because they secreted a high level of cellulase in media supplemented with rice straw. Analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focussing and zymography showed that the studied strains secreted multiple enzymes that hydrolyse cellulose. Cellulase activity of Penicillium sp. CR-316, the strain showing higher production, was analysed. Optimum temperature and pH of carboxymethyl cellulase activity were 65 degrees C and pH 4.5, respectively. Activity remained stable after incubation at 60 degrees C and pH 4.5 for 3 h. CONCLUSIONS: Fungal strains that secrete high levels of cellulase activity have been characterized and selected from soil. The isolated strains have complex sets of enzymes for cellulose degradation. Crude cellulase produced by Penicillium sp. CR-316 showed activity and stability at high temperature. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Two fungal strains with biotechnological potential have been isolated. The strains secrete high levels of cellulase, and one of them, Penicillium sp. CR-316, produces a thermostable cellulase, that makes it a good candidate for industrial applications.

Production of extracellular lipases by Penicillium cyclopium purification and characterization of a partial acylglycerol lipase

Penicillium cyclopium, grown in stationary culture, produces a type I lipase specific for triacylglycerols while, in shaken culture, it produces a type II lipase only active on partial acylglycerols. Lipase II has been purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and chromatographies on Sephadex G-75 and DEAE-Sephadex. The enzyme exists in several glycosylated forms of 40-43 kDa, which can be converted to a single protein of 37 kDa by enzymatic deglycosylation. Activity of lipase II is maximal at pH 7.0 and 40 degrees C. The enzyme is stable from pH 4.5 to 7.0. Activity is rapidly lost at temperatures above 50 degrees C. The enzyme specifically hydrolyzes monoacylglycerols and diacylglycerols, especially of medium chain fatty acids. The sequence of the 20 first amino acid residues is similar to the N-terminal region of P. camembertii lipase and partially similar to lipases from Humicola lanuginosa and Aspergillus oryzae, but is different from Penicillium cyclopium lipase I. However, it can be observed that residues of valine and serine at positions 2 and 5 in Penicillium cyclopium lipase II are conserved in Penicillium expansum lipase, of which 16 out of the 20 first amino acid residues are similar to Penicillium cyclopium lipase I.     

Production, purification and characterization of cholesterol oxidase from a newly isolated Streptomyces sp.

Cholesterol oxidase production (COD) by a new isolate characterized as Streptomyces sp. was studied in different production media and fermentation conditions. Individual supplementation of 1 % maltose, lactose, sucrose, peptone, soybean meal and yeast extract enhanced COD production by 80–110 % in comparison to the basal production medium (2.4 U/ml). Supplementation of 0.05 % cholesterol (inducer) enhanced COD production by 150 %. COD was purified 14.3-fold and its molecular weight was found to be 62 kDa. V_max (21.93 μM/min mg) and substrate affinity K_m (101.3 μM) suggested high affinity of the COD for cholesterol. In presence of Ba²⁺ and Hg²⁺ the enzyme activity was inhibited while Cu²⁺ enhanced the activity nearly threefold. Relative activity of the enzyme was found maximum in triton X-100 whereas sodium dodecyl sulfate inactivated the enzyme. The enzyme activity was also inhibited by the thiol-reducing reagents like Dithiothreitol and β-mercaptoethanol. The COD showed moderate stability towards all organic solvents except acetone, benzene and chloroform. The activity increased in presence of isopropanol and ethanol. The enzyme was most active at pH 7 and 37 °C temperature. This organism is not reported to produce COD.

Production, purification and characterization of glucose oxidase from a newly isolated strain of Penicillium pinophilum

A number of nutritional factors influencing growth and glucose oxidase (EC 1.1.3.4) production by a newly isolated strain of Penicillium pinophilum were investigated. The most important factors for glucose oxidase production were the use of sucrose as the carbon source, and growth of the fungus at non-optimal pH 6.5. The enzyme was purified to apparent homogeneity with a yield of 74%, including an efficient extraction step of the mycelium mass at pH 3.0, cation-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The relative molecular mass (M _r) of native glucose oxidase was determined to be 154 700 ± 4970, and 77 700 for the denatured subunit. Electron-microscopic examinations revealed a sandwich-shaped dimeric molecule with subunit dimensions of 5.0 × 8.0 nm. Glucose oxidase is a glycoprotein that contains tightly bound FAD with an estimated stoichiometry of 1.76 mol/mol enzyme. The enzyme is specific for d-glucose, for which a K _m value of 6.2 mM was determined. The pH optimum was determined in the range pH 4.0–6.0. Glucose oxidase showed high stability on storage in sodium citrate (pH 5.0) and in potassium phosphate (pH 6.0), each 100 mM. The half-life of the activity was considerably more than 305 days at 4 °C and 30 °C, and 213 days at 40 °C. The enzyme was unstable at temperatures above 40 °C in the range pH 2.0–4.0 and at a pH above 7.0. Received: 18 November 1996 / Received revision: 3 March 1997 / Accepted: 7 March 1997     

Production and properties of inulinase from Penicillium sp. NFCC 2768 grown on inulin-rich vegetal infusions

Inulinase production by Penicillium sp. NFCC 2768 isolated from the rhizosphere soil of dahlia was studied on media containing inulin-rich plant extracts. The maximum inulinase activity (64.54 nkat/ml) was observed with the tuber extract of dahlia (Dahlia pinnata). The fungus produced substantial inulinase activity on asparagus root powder (45.23 nkat/ml) and garlic extracts (41.32 nkat/ml). The apparent molecular weight of the purified inulinase was 68 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature for enzyme activity were 5.0 and 50°C, respectively. Mn²⁺ and Ca²⁺ were found to enhance the inulinase activity, while Hg²⁺ was found to be a strong inhibitor. Inulinase liberated fructose, glucose, sucrose, kestose (GF₂), nystose (GF₃), and inulooligosaccharides (IOS). This study suggested the use of dahlia tuber extract and asparagus root powder as suitable substrates for inulinase production by the newly isolated Penicillium sp. NFCC 2768, and its application in the generation of fructose and IOS.

Influence of cultivating conditions on the alpha-galactosidase biosynthesis from a novel strain of Penicillium sp. in solid-state fermentation

AIMS: The work is intended to achieve optimum culture conditions of alpha-galactosidase production by a mutant strain Penicillium sp. in solid-state fermentation (SSF). METHODS AND RESULTS: Certain fermentation parameters involving incubation temperature, moisture content, initial pH value, inoculum and load size of medium, and incubation time were investigated separately. The optimal temperature and moisture level for alpha-galactosidase biosynthesis was found to be 30 degrees C and 50%, respectively. The range of pH 5.5-6.5 was favourable. About 40-50 g of medium in 250-ml flask and inoculum over 1.0 x 10(6) spores were suitable for enzyme production. Seventy-five hours of incubation was enough for maximum alpha-galactosidase production. Substrate as wheat bran supplemented with soyabean meal and beet pulp markedly improved the enzyme yield in trays. CONCLUSIONS: Under optimum culture conditions, the alpha-galactosidase activity from Penicillium sp. MAFIC-6 indicated 185.2 U g(-1) in tray of SSF. SIGNIFICANT AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The process on alpha-galactosidase production in laboratory scale may have a potentiality of scaling-up.     

Production of xylanases from a newly isolated alkalophilic thermophilic Bacillus sp.

A new thermophilic strain of Bacillus SPS-0 which produces thermostable xylanases was isolated from a hot spring in Portugal. Xylanase production was 50 nkat/ml in the presence of wheat bran arabinoxylan. The temperature and pH for optimum activity were 75°C and 6–9, respectively. The hydrolysis patterns demonstrated that crude xylanases yield mainly xylose and xylobiose from xylan, whereas xylose and arabinose were produced from destarched wheat bran. An increase in xylose release was observed when SPS-0 xylanase was supplemented by a ferulic acid esterase. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998     

Characterisation of a thermostable and proteolysis resistant phytase from Penicillium polonicum MF82 associated with the marine sponge Phorbas sp.

Abstract

Phytases are widely used in human and animal nutrition, aquaculture, soil amendment, and in the production of lower myo-inositol phosphates for clinical purposes. Some of these applications, especially feed industry require robust enzymes. Since the marine environments are less studied compared to terrestrial environments, we evaluated the extracellular phytase activity of 110 marine derived filamentous fungal (MDFF) strains previously isolated from sponge and sediment samples of the Turkey. MDFF strains were qualitatively screened for their extracellular phytase activities and P. polonicum MF82 phytase was further characterized following partial purification. Optimum pH and temperature were determined as 5.5 and 60?°C respectively. A significant relative phytase activity was observed in the presence of urea and acetone. However, there was no phytase activity followed by the treatment with Triton X-100 and Tween 80. Characterization studies revealed that P. polonicum MF82 phytase has superior properties for industrial use including wide pH and temperature range for activity, high optimum activity temperature, high thermal and pH stability, resistance to many enzyme inhibitors including various heavy metals, denaturants, detergents, proteases and organic solvents. Phytase extracellularly produced by P. polonicum MF82 strain presents a good candidate for commercial applications. This study demonstrates that the MDFF strains are prolific sources for phytase and presents the first report about the production and characterization of the phytase from a marine-derived P. polonicum strain.     

Isolation, purification and characterization of a novel glucose oxidase from Penicillium sp. CBS 120262 optimally active at neutral pH

A novel glucose oxidase (GOX), a flavoenzyme, from Penicillium sp. was isolated, purified and partially characterised. Maximum activities of 1.08U mg(-1)dry weight intracellular and 6.9U ml(-1) extracellular GOX were obtained. Isoelectric focussing revealed two isoenzymes present in both intra- and extracellular fractions, having pI's of 4.30 and 4.67. GOX from Penicillium sp. was shown to be dimeric with a molecular weight of 148kDa, consisting of two equal subunits with molecular weight of 70k Da. The enzyme displayed a temperature optimum between 25 and 30 degrees C, and an optimum pH range of 6-8 for the oxidation of beta-d-glucose. The enzyme was stable at 25 degrees C for a minimum of 10h, with a half-life of approximately 30 min at 37 degrees C without any prior stabilisation. The lyophilized enzyme was stable at -20 degrees C for a minimum of 6 months. GOX from Penicillium sp. Tt42 displayed the following kinetic characteristics: Vmax, 240.5U mg(-1); Km, 18.4mM; kcat, 741 s(-1) and kcat/Km, 40 s(-1)mM(-1). Stability at room temperature, good shelf-life without stabilisation and the neutral range for the pH optimum of this GOX contribute to its usefulness in current GOX-based biosensor applications.     

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.
