Effect of bipolar membrane electrobasification on chitosanase activity during chitosan hydrolysis

Chitosanase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes chitosan, a beta-(1-4) glucosamine polymer, into size-specific oligomers that have pharmaceutical and biological properties. The aim of the present work was to use the bipolar membrane technology, in particular the OH(-) stream produced by water splitting, for inactivation of chitosanase at alkaline pH in order to terminate the enzymatic reaction producing chitosan oligomers. The objectives consisted of studying the effect of pH: (a) on the stability of chitosanase, and (b) on the catalytic activity of chitosanase during chitosan hydrolysis. The enzyme was found to be stable in the pH range of 3-8 during at least 7h, and partially lost its activity after 1h at pH 8. The catalytic activity of chitosanase during chitosan hydrolysis decreased after pH adjustment by electrobasification. The reaction rate decreased by 50% from pH 5.5 to 6, whereas the reaction was completely inhibited at pH>7. The decrease of reaction rate was due to chitosan substrate insolubilization and chitosanase denaturation at alkaline pH values.

Purification and characterization of chitosanase from Bacillus sp. strain KCTC 0377BP and its application for the production of chitosan oligosaccharides

For the enzymatic production of chitosan oligosaccharides from chitosan, a chitosanase-producing bacterium, Bacillus sp. strain KCTC 0377BP, was isolated from soil. The bacterium constitutively produced chitosanase in a culture medium without chitosan as an inducer. The production of chitosanase was increased from 1.2 U/ml in a minimal chitosan medium to 100 U/ml by optimizing the culture conditions. The chitosanase was purified from a culture supernatant by using CM-Toyopearl column chromatography and a Superose 12HR column for fast-performance liquid chromatography and was characterized according to its enzyme properties. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be 45 kDa by means of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme demonstrated bifunctional chitosanase-glucanase activities, although it showed very low glucanase activity, with less than 3% of the chitosanase activity. Activity of the enzyme increased with an increase of the degrees of deacetylation (DDA) of the chitosan substrate. However, the enzyme still retained 72% of its relative activity toward the 39% DDA of chitosan, compared with the activity of the 94% DDA of chitosan. The enzyme produced chitosan oligosaccharides from chitosan, ranging mainly from chitotriose to chitooctaose. By controlling the reaction time and by monitoring the reaction products with gel filtration high-performance liquid chromatography, chitosan oligosaccharides with a desired oligosaccharide content and composition were obtained. In addition, the enzyme was efficiently used for the production of low-molecular-weight chitosan and highly acetylated chitosan oligosaccharides. A gene (csn45) encoding chitosanase was cloned, sequenced, and compared with other functionally related genes. The deduced amino acid sequence of csn45 was dissimilar to those of the classical chitosanase belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 46 but was similar to glucanases classified with glycoside hydrolase family 8.     

Purification and characterization of an extracellular chitosanase produced by Amycolatopsis sp. CsO-2

Extracellular chitosanase produced by Amycolatopsis sp. CsO-2 was purified to homogeneity by precipitation with ammonium sulfate followed by cation exchange chromatography. The molecular weight of the chitosanase was estimated to be about 27,000 using SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration. The maximum velocity of chitosan degradation by the enzyme was attained at 55°C when the pH was maintained at 5.3. The enzyme was stable over a temperature range of 0–50°C and a pH range of 4.5–6.0. About 50% of the initial activity remained after heating at 100°C for 10 min, indicating a thermostable nature of the enzyme. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was about 8.8. The enzyme degraded chitosan with a range of deacetylation degree from 70% to 100%, but not chitin or CM-cellulose. The most susceptible substrate was 100% deacetylated chitosan. The enzyme degraded glucosamine tetramer to dimer, and pentamer to dimer and trimer, but did not hydrolyze glucosamine dimer and trimer.     

Isolation and purification of Mucor circinelloides intracellular chitosanolytic enzymes

This study aimed at isolation, purification and characterization of a chitosanase from Mucor circinelloides mycelium. The latter contains also a mycelium-bound lipase and lipids. The chitosanase and lipase were extracted from defatted M. circinelloides mycelium with a detergent and purified through a two-step procedure comprising chromatography on bacitracin–CNBr-Sepharose 4B and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. Purification degree of the chitosanase (endo-type enzyme) and lipase was 23 and 12, respectively. These enzymes were optimally active at pH of 5.5–6.0 (chitosanase) and 7.2 (lipase in olive oil hydrolysis) and at 37 °C. Both purified enzymes were activated by Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ ions. The preferred substrates of chitosanase were chitosan preparations with a high degree of deacetylation. This enzyme showed no activity for colloidal chitin, Na-CMC and starch. SDS–PAGE of both purified enzymes showed two bands with molecular masses of 42 and 43 kDa. Our results suggest that M. circinelloides synthesizes an oligomeric (bifunctional) lipase which also efficiently depolymerizes chitosan.     

Synthesis of exo-β-glucosaminidase BY FUNGUS <Emphasis Type="Italic">Penicillium</Emphasis> sp. IB-37-2

A new strain Penicillium sp. IB-37-2, which actively hydrolyzes chitosan (SD ～80–85%) but possesses low activity against colloidal chitin, was isolated. The fungus was observed to have a high level chitosanase biosynthesis (1.5–3.0 U/mL) during submerged cultivation at 28°C, with a pH of 3.5–7.0 and 220 rpm in nutrient media containing chitosan or chitin from shells of crabs. Purification of the chitosanase enzyme complex from Penicillium sp. IB-37-2 by ultrafiltration and hydrophobic chromatography, followed by denaturing electrophoresis, revealed two predominant proteins with molecular weights of 89 and 41 kDa. The purified enzyme complex demonstrated maximal activity (maximal rate of hydrolysis of dissolved chitosan) and stability at 50–55°C and a pH of 3.5–4.0. The enzyme preparation also hydrolyzed laminarin, β-(1,3)-(1,4)-glycan, and colloidal chitin. Exohydrolysis of chitosan by the preparation isolated from Penicillium sp. IB-37-2 resulted in the formation of single product, D-glucosamine.     

Biochemical and molecular characterization of a thermostable chitosanase produced by the strain Paenibacillus sp. 1794 newly isolated from compost

Chitosan raises a great interest among biotechnologists due to its potential for applications in biomedical or environmental fields. Enzymatic hydrolysis of chitosan is a recognized method allowing control of its molecular size, making possible its optimization for a given application. During the industrial hydrolysis process of chitosan, viscosity is a major problem; which can be circumvented by raising the temperature of the chitosan solution. A thermostable chitosanase is compatible with enzymatic hydrolysis at higher temperatures thus allowing chitosan to be dissolved at higher concentrations. Following an extensive micro-plate screening of microbial isolates from various batches of shrimp shells compost, the strain 1794 was characterized and shown to produce a thermostable chitosanase. The isolate was identified as a novel member of the genus Paenibacillus, based on partial 16S rDNA and rpoB gene sequences. Using the chitosanase (Csn1794) produced by this strain, a linear time course of chitosan hydrolysis has been observed for at least 6 h at 70 °C. Csn1794 was purified and its molecular weight was estimated at 40 kDa by SDS-PAGE. Optimum pH was about 4.8, the apparent K _m and the catalytic constant k_cat were 0.042 mg/ml and 7,588 min^?1, respectively. The half-life of Csn1794 at 70 °C in the presence of chitosan substrate was >20 h. The activity of chitosanase 1794 varied little with the degree of N-acetylation of chitosan. The enzyme also hydrolyzed carboxymethylcellulose but not chitin. Chitosan or cellulose-derived hexasaccharides were cleaved preferentially in a symmetrical way (“3?+?3”) but hydrolysis rate was much faster for (GlcN)₆ than (Glc)₆. Gene cloning and sequencing revealed that Csn1794 belongs to family 8 of glycoside hydrolases. The enzyme should be useful in biotechnological applications of chitosan hydrolysis, dealing with concentrated chitosan solutions at high temperatures.     

Purification and hydrolytic action of a chitosanase from Nocardia orientalis

Chitosanase from the culture filtrate of Nocardia orientalis was purified to apparent homogeneity by precipitation with ammonium sulfate followed by CM-Sephadex chromatography, biospecific affinity chromatography on a Sepharose CL-4B with immobilized chitotriose and by gel filtration on Sephadex G-75. The enzyme specifically acted on chitooligosaccharides and chitosan to yield chitobiose and chitotriose as final products. The mode of action of the chitosanase on chitooligosaccharides and their corresponding alcohols suggests that the enzyme requires substrates with four or more glucosamine residues for the expression of activity and its shows maximum activity on chitohexaose and chitoheptaose. In the hydrolysis of chitosans of varying N-acetyl content, the enzyme cleaved about 30% acetylated chitosan with maximum activity and the enzyme activity decreased with increasing the degree of deacetylation of chitosans tested. The analysis of products formed from 33% acetylated chitosan shows the chitosanase is capable of cleaving between glucosamine and glucosamine or N-acetylglucosamine, but not cleaving between N-acetylglucosamine and glucosamine. On the basis of the results, the whole pathway of enymatic degradation of partially acetylated chitosan by a combination of chitosanase, exo-beta-D-glucosaminidase and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase is proposed.     

Fermentation conditions and properties of a chitosanase from Acinetobacter sp. C-17

A species of bacterium with high chitosanase activity was isolated from soil samples in Haiyan City, China, and identified as an Acinetobacter species. This strain, named Acinetobacter sp. strain C-17, produced a chitosanase that was inducible and secreted into the medium. The optimal conditions for enzyme production were cells used to inoculate a medium containing 1% chitosan (pH 7.0) followed by culture at 30 degrees C. The chitosanase activity reached 1.7 U/ml when strain C-17 was incubated in a 250-ml flask under the optimal conditions for 24 h, and reached 2.8 U/ml when cells were incubated in a 3-l fermentor. The optimal pH and temperature for hydrolysis of chitosanase were 7.0 and 36 degrees C, respectively. The chitosanase activity was stable in the pH range of 5-8 and temperature range of 30-40 degrees C. The chitosanase of the strain was extracted by zinc acetate and ammonium sulfate precipitation. The molecular mass was estimated to be 35.4 kDa by SDS-PAGE.     

Purification of a constitutive chitosanase produced by Bacillus sp. MET 1299 with cloning and expression of the gene

A chitosanase produced constitutively by Bacillus sp. MET 1299 was purified by SP-Sephadex column chromatography. The molecular weight was estimated to be 52 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Optimal enzyme activity was observed at a pH of 5.5 and temperature of 60 degrees C. The purified chitosanase showed high activity on 90% deacetylated colloidal chitosan and beta-glucan, but not on hydrolyzed colloidal chitin, CMC, or their derivatives. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme was determined. The cloned full length gene, 1362 bp in size, encoded a single peptide of 453 amino acids and had a conserved amino acid sequence of glycosyl hydrolase family 8. A search of the cDNA sequence with NCBI BLAST showed homology with chitosanase of Bacillus sp. KTCC 0377BP and Bacillus sp. No. 7-M. The recombinant protein was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified using affinity chromatography and characterized.
