Cellulase stimulation during biodegradation of lignocellulosic residues at increased biomass loading

Microbial degradation of lignocellulosic biomass is primarily affected by the composition and structure of biomass, as well as enzyme activities that are influenced by the presence of in-process degradation products. This study focuses on the latter, and demonstrates that cellulase activity of Neurospora discreta is stimulated in the presence of in-process soluble lignin degradation products. Two types of biomass - cocopeat and sugarcane bagasse, with contrasting lignin content and cellulose structure were tested at two biomass loadings each. At the higher biomass loading, cocopeat showed the highest amount of hydrolyzed cellulose and cellulase activity, despite its low cellulose content and recalcitrant cellulose structure. A strong positive correlation was revealed between the amount of in-process degraded lignin and cellulase activity, indicating a stimulatory effect on cellulase, which contradicts most previous literature. Furthermore, the causal relationship between the amount of degraded lignin and cellulase activity was established in a model system of commercial cellulase and standard soluble lignin. This work could pave the way for using biomass loading as a process lever to enhance cellulose hydrolysis in microbial conversion of lignocellulosic biomass.     

Isolation of cellulose—producing microbes from the intestine of grass carp (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Ctenopharyngodon idellus</Emphasis>)

The cellulase activities of bacterial strains in the intestine of grass carp were analyzed, using filter paper and absorbent cotton as substrates and measuring the concentration of glucose by calorimetry. Six strains were isolated and determined high cellulase activity in all grass carp. Strains showed different abilities to produce cellulase, which suggests that they interact in the grass carp intestine to digest cellulose. The presence of cellulose activity suggests that grass carp have the ability to digest cellulose in the diet. The cellulase enzymatic activity increased dramatically after 6 days of culture and reached its peak at the 7th day. Microbes are probably the main source of cellulase in grass carp diets.     

Screening of cellulases for biofuel production: online monitoring of the enzymatic hydrolysis of insoluble cellulose using high-throughput scattered light detection

A new prospective cellulase assay simultaneously combining high-throughput, online analysis and insoluble cellulosic substrates is described. The hydrolysis of three different insoluble cellulosic substrates, catalysed by a commercial cellulase preparation from Trichoderma reesei (Celluclast), was monitored using the BioLector - allowing online monitoring of scattered light intensities in a continuously shaken microtiter plate. Cellulase activities could be quantitatively assayed using the BioLector. At low cellulase/cellulose ratios, the Michaelis-Menten parameters of the cellulase mixture were mainly affected by the crystallinity index of the cellulose. Here, the apparent maximum cellulase activities inversely correlated with the crystallinity index of the cellulose. At high cellulase/cellulose ratios the particle size of the cellulose, defining the external surface area accessible to the cellulases, was the key determining factor for cellulase activity. The developed technique was also successfully applied to evaluate the pH optimum of cellulases. Moreover, the non-hydrolytic deagglomeration of cellulose particles was investigated, for the first time, using high-throughput scattered light detection. In conclusion, this cellulase assay ideally links high-throughput, online analysis and realistic insoluble cellulosic substrates in one simple system. It will considerably simplify and accelerate fundamental research on cellulase screening.     

β-Glucanase expression by Ruminococcus flavefaciens FD-1

Abstract Ruminococcus flavefaciens has been hypothesized to produce cellulase constitutively. We have studied the effect of carbon source, either cellobiose or cellulose, on the production of cellulase in batch cultures of R. flavefaciens FD-1. Total CMCase and ¹⁴C-cellulase activity was approximately 2-fold higher in cellobiose grown cells than in cellulose grown cells, whereas p-nitrophenyl-β- d -cellobiosidase (PNPCase) activity was not affected by culture conditions. The addition of cellulose to cells growing on cellobiose did not alter the amount or rate of PNPCase and ¹⁴C-cellulase production. Northern blot analysis of mRNAs produced by R. flavefaciens FD-1 grown using either cellobiose or cellulose as the substrate indicated that two of the four β-glucanase genes cloned from R. flavefaciens FD-1 were only expressed in cells grown with cellulose as the substrate. Although the adherence of cells and cellulase enzyme to native cellulose can complicate interpretations of these data, the results indicate that cellulase synthesis by R. flavefaciens is differentially regulated by carbon source.     

Effects of substrate pretreatment and water activity on lipase-catalyzed cellulose acetylation in organic media

Lipase-catalyzed acetylation of cellulose solubilized in the dimethyl sulfoxide/paraformaldehyde organic solvent system was conducted with lipase A12 from Aspergillus niger. The accompanying side cellulase activity of the A. niger lipase partly accounted for the enhanced acetylation mediated by the enzyme, via facilitating the partial degradation of cellulose substrate as evidenced by high-performance size exclusion chromatograph analysis. The enzymatic cellulose acetylation was improved by substrate pretreatment with cellulase or ultrasound by 18 and 14%, respectively, as a result of the reduced substrate molecular size. Additionally, the ultrasound-pretreated cellulose as the starting substrate was beneficial for the cellulose solution preparation due to the increased accessible surface of cellulose as evidenced by its increased sedimentation volume and SEM micrographs. The effect of thermodynamic water activity (aw) on lipase catalytic activity in organic media was also investigated. The maximum acetylation extent (nearly 11 wt %) occurred at aw = 0.52, which was improved by 51% relative to the enzymatic reaction with no control of water activity. The much larger extent to which the lipase-catalyzed cellulose acetylation was enhanced by water activity optimization than by substrate pretreatment further supported the predominant role played by the major lipase activity of the A. niger lipase over its side cellulase activity in catalyzing cellulose ester synthesis in organic media.     

High-yield cellulase production by Trichoderma reesei ZU-02 on corn cob residue

Cellulase production using corn cob residue from xylose manufacture as substrate was carried out by Trichoderma reesei ZU-02. It was found that on the same cellulose basis, the cellulase activity and yield produced on corn cob residue were comparable with that on purified cellulose. Under batch process, the optimum concentration of substrate was 40 g/l and the optimum C/N ratio was 8.0. In 500 ml flasks, cellulase activity reached 5.25 IU/ml (213.4 IU/g cellulose) after seven days' cultivation. In a 30 m(3) stirred fermenter for large scale production, cellulase and cellobiase activity were 5.48 IU/ml (222.8 IU/g cellulase) and 0.25 IU/ml (10.2 IU/g cellulose), respectively, after four days' submerged fermentation. The produced cellulase could effectively hydrolyze the corn cob residue, and the yield of enzymatic hydrolysis reached 90.4% on 10% corn cob residue (w/v) when the cellulase dosage was 20 IU/g substrate.     

Functional characterization of a bacterial expansin from Bacillus subtilis for enhanced enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose

Expansin is a plant protein family that induces plant cell wall‐loosening and cellulose disruption without exerting cellulose‐hydrolytic activity. Expansin‐like proteins have also been found in other eukaryotes such as nematodes and fungi. While searching for an expansin produced by bacteria, we found that the BsEXLX1 protein from Bacillus subtilis had a structure that was similar to that of a β‐expansin produced by maize. Therefore, we cloned the BsEXLX1 gene and expressed it in Escherichia coli to evaluate its function. When incubated with filter paper as a cellulose substrate, the recombinant protein exhibited both cellulose‐binding and cellulose‐weakening activities, which are known functions of plant expansins. In addition, evaluation of the enzymatic hydrolysis of filter paper revealed that the recombinant protein also displayed a significant synergism when mixed with cellulase. By comparing the activity of a mixture of cellulase and the bacterial expansin to the additive activity of the individual proteins, the synergistic activity was found to be as high as 240% when filter paper was incubated with cellulase and BsEXLX1, which was 5.7‐fold greater than the activity of cellulase alone. However, this synergistic effect was observed when only a low dosage of cellulase was used. This is the first study to characterize the function of an expansin produced by a non‐eukaryotic source.

Localization of the cellulase activity of Bacteroides cellulosolvens

The major portion of cellulase activity of Bacteroides cellulosolvens was cell-associated. Cells grown on cellulose had a distinctive morphology, characterized by an amorphous outer cell wall layer with irregular, 'fluffy' projections. These cells had greater cell-associated cellulase activity than the cellobiose grown cells which exhibited a smooth, distinct outer layer. It is suggested that the outer layer characteristic of cellulose grown cells is the location of cellulase activity and the site for close cellulose-cell contact.
