The occurrence, characteristics and response to environmental salinity and dopamine of alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity were studied in chela muscle of the euryhaline crab Cyrtograpsus angulatus from Mar Chiquita coastal lagoon (Buenos Aires Province, Argentina). Chela muscle exhibited a high AP activity with a Michaelis-Menten kinetic (Km=1.21 mM). AP activity was strongly inhibited by EDTA (I50=2.26 mM). AP activity appeared to be sensitive to environmental salinity. In crabs acclimated to low salinity (10‰) AP activity was lower than in 35‰ salinity. Upon an abrupt change to reduced salinity a short-term decrease of AP activity occurred, concomitant with the transition to hyperregulation. Furthermore, AP activity appeared to be under hormonal control since it was inhibited “in vivo” by 10−4 M dopamine. The response to both environmental salinity and dopamine suggests that AP activity could be a component of muscle regulatory mechanisms at the biochemical level secondary to hyperregulation of C. angulatus. The possible functional relationship of AP activity with Na+/K+ ATPase in muscle is discussed. 相似文献

A levamisole-sensitive (Ki = 0.72 mM) alkaline phosphatase (pH optimum 9.1) and a levamisole-insensitive alkaline phosphatase (pH optimum 7.1) are present in gills of the blue crab Callinectes sapidus. Both enzymes are distinct from ouabain-sensitive ATPase. Specific activity for either phosphatase is greatest in the acinar tissue, which lines the branchial vessels. Histochemical localization of the enzymes confirmed this distribution. Activity of levamisole-sensitive alkaline phosphatase is affected by acclimation salinity. Vmax of the levamisole-sensitive alkaline phosphatase is greater in high-salinity crabs than in low-salinity crabs; apparent Km is not significantly different. The levamisole-sensitive alkaline phosphatase associated with the acinar tissue lining the branchial vessels may modulate the osmoregulatory response in blue crabs. 相似文献

The estuarine crab Chasmagnathus granulatus (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura) inhabits salt marshes along the South Atlantic coast from Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) to Patagonia (Argentina). In the present study, salinity tolerance (0-45‰; 16-1325 mOsm/kg H2O) and hemolymph osmotic and ionic (Na+, Cl−, and K+) regulation in both female and male C. granulatus were analyzed in summer and winter. Results showed that both female and male C. granulatus are euryhaline. Mortality was only observed in extremely low salinity (0‰; 16 mOsm/kg H2O) for both sexes. For females, the LT50 at 0‰ salinity was similar in summer (20.1 h) and winter (17.4 h). Males were more tolerant to salinity than females in both seasons, and mortality was observed only in summer (LT50 = 50.9 h). Results from freshly collected crabs or long-term (16-day) osmotic and ionic regulation experiments in the laboratory showed that male C. granulatus is a better hyper-osmoregulator than female in summer and winter. However, a hypo-osmoregulatory ability was only observed in females experimentally subjected to salinity 40‰ (1176 ± 11 mOsm/kg H2O) in both seasons. In both sexes, hyper-osmotic regulation was achieved by hyper-regulating hemolymph Na+, Cl−, and K+ concentration. In females, hypo-osmotic regulation was achieved by hypo-regulating hemolymph Na+ and Cl− concentration. Long-term (16-day) osmotic and ionic regulations in different salinities were similar in males or females collected and tested in summer and winter. Despite this lack of a seasonal effect on hemolymph osmoregulatory and ionoregulatory patterns in males or females, a marked seasonal difference in the dynamics of these processes was observed for both sexes. In the first 2 days after hypo-osmotic shock (20‰→5‰; 636→185 mOsm/kg H2O), variations in female osmolality and ion (Na+ and Cl−) concentration were larger and faster in winter than in summer, while in males the opposite was observed. Furthermore, a seasonal effect on the crab response to hyper-osmotic shock (20‰→40‰; 636→1176 mOsm/kg H2O) was only observed in males. A new osmolality and ion (Na+ and Cl−) concentration steady state was faster achieved in winter than in summer. Regarding sexual differences, females showed a better capacity to hypo-regulate the hemolymph osmolality and Na+ concentration than males, even after a sudden increase in salinity (hyper-osmotic shock) in both seasons. On the other hand, males showed a better capacity to hyper-regulate the hemolymph osmolality and Na+ concentration than females, even after a sudden decrease in salinity (hypo-osmotic shock), especially in winter. Taken together, results reported in the present study suggest the need to consider both sex and collection season as important factors in future osmotic and ionic regulation studies in estuarine crabs. 相似文献

The salinity, temperature and pH tolerance of Procephalothrix simulus Iwata, 1952, were experimentally studied. In hypo-media, the nemerteans could survive 96 h in 3.3‰ solution at 10 °C (median lethal salinity [LS50] was not determined at this temperature), and 96 h LS50 were 7.3‰ and 13.5‰ at 20 °C and 30 °C, respectively. In hyper-media, 96 h LS50 values were 53.9‰, 47.1‰ and 41.4‰ at 10 °C, 20 °C and 30 °C, respectively. The trend of body weight changes in diluted media indicated that this nemertean is a volume regulator. During a 96-h exposure in media at 0 °C, worms were thanatoid but could recover if the temperature was gradually elevated to 20 °C. In thermal tolerance experiments, the nemertean survived 96 h in seawater of 30 °C, and worms suffered high mortalities when the temperature exceeded 32 °C. Present results suggest that the interaction of temperature and salinity on the lethal effects on P. simulus is significant (P < 0.05). Elevated temperature (range 10-30 °C) decreased the worm's solute tolerance, and elevated salinity (range 18-38‰) decreased the worm's thermal tolerance. The survival pH level for this nemertean ranged from 5.00 to 9.20. 相似文献

The standard metabolic rate (SMR) of the caridean shrimp Palaemon peringueyi to changes in temperature (15-30 °C), salinity (0-45‰) and a combination thereof was investigated. The rate of oxygen consumption of the shrimp was determined using a YSI oxygen meter. At a constant salinity of 35‰ the respiration rate of P. peringueyi increased with an increase in temperature and ranged between 0.260 and 0.982 μl O2 mg wwt− 1 h− 1. The Q10 value over the temperature range 15-25 °C was estimated at 3.13. At a constant temperature of 15 °C the respiration rate of P. peringueyi also increased with an increase in salinity and ranged between 0.231 and 0.860 μl O2 mg wwt− 1 h− 1. For combination experiments the absence of any significant difference in the respiration rate of P. peringueyi at the four temperatures over the salinity range 15-35‰ suggests that the shrimp is well adapted to inhabiting environments characterised by variations in salinity and temperature such as those encountered within the middle and lower reaches of permanently open estuaries with substantial freshwater inflow. On the other hand, the total mortality of the shrimp recorded at salinities < 5‰ at all four temperatures suggests that the upper distribution of the shrimp may reflect physiological constraints. Similarly, the increase in the respiration rate of the shrimp at the four temperatures at salinities > 35‰ suggests that the shrimp may experience osmotic stress in freshwater deprived permanently open and intermittently open estuaries where hypersaline conditions may develop. 相似文献

Salinity effects on osmoregulation and growth of the euryhaline flounder Paralichthys orbignyanus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
《Journal of experimental marine biology and ecology》2002,269(2):187-196
The flounder, Paralichthys orbignyanus, is found in coastal and estuarine waters of the Western South Atlantic Ocean. It is being considered for aquaculture due to its high market price and wide tolerance to environmental factors such as salinity, pH, and nitrogenous compounds. The objective of this study was to characterize the ionic and osmotic regulation of P. orbignyanus over the range of its tolerated ambient salinities (0-40‰) and to evaluate the survival and growth in freshwater (0‰) and seawater (30‰) over 90 days. After 15 days of exposure to different salinities (0‰, 10‰, 20‰, 30‰ and 40‰), plasma osmolality and ionic (Na+, Cl−, K+ and Ca2+) concentrations slightly increased with salinity. The isosmotic point was estimated as 328.6 mOsm kg−1 H2O and corresponded to 10.9‰ salinity. After 90 days, survival was similar in freshwater and seawater, but osmo- and ionoregulation was significantly affected in freshwater and flounders reared in this medium showed a lower growth rate than those reared in seawater. Based on the results from this study, P. orbignyanus can be characterized as a marine/estuarine euryhaline teleost capable of hyper/hypo iono- and osmoregulation over the fluctuating salinity regime faced by this species in the environment. Furthermore, results suggest that the lower growth rate exhibited by P. orbignyanus in freshwater could be due, at least partially, to a higher energy expenditure associated to a higher branchial Na+, K+-ATPase activity in this environment. 相似文献

Two non-indigenous botryllid ascidian species - Botryllus schlosseri (golden star tunicate) and Botrylloides violaceus (violet tunicate) - have become established in British Columbia (BC), Canada. One species, B. schlosseri, is native to Europe while the other, B. violaceus, is native to Asia. Environmental tolerances of both species are poorly understood. We examined the effects of temperature and salinity on growth, survival, and reproduction of these species in the laboratory in order to characterize their environmental tolerances and preferences. Laboratory-raised juvenile colonies were studied using a two-factorial experimental design with five levels of temperature (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 °C) and five levels of salinity (14, 20, 26, 32, 38‰). Both B. schlosseri and B. violaceus possessed broad temperature and salinity tolerances, but B. schlosseri was slightly more euryhalinal than B. violaceus. Generally, B. schlosseri survived environmental conditions of 10-25 °C and 14-38‰, exhibited positive growth at 10-25 °C and 20-38‰, and attained its largest colony sizes at 15-20 °C and 20-38‰. Botrylloides violaceus tolerated environmental conditions between 5-25 °C and 20-38‰, demonstrated positive growth at 15-25 °C and 26-38‰, and attained its largest colony sizes at 20-25 °C and 26-38‰. Results from the laboratory experiment were then used in a modeling exercise to determine the coastal areas of BC that these organisms might be likely to exist in or invade, based on near-surface temperatures and salinities. The model predicted that no areas were totally unsuitable for survival and growth of either species (based solely on temperature and salinity tolerances), with the most suitable locations being along the west coast of Vancouver Island, a region with significant shellfish aquaculture activity. 相似文献

The lion's paw scallop, Nodipecten nodosus, is subject to wide temperature variations on seasonal and short-term scales, and may be exposed to low-salinity events, caused by oceanographic and meteorological processes at its southern distribution limit (Santa Catarina State, Brazil). Such variations may have important implications on the distribution and on aquaculture site selection. The upper and lower temperature tolerances and the percentage of byssal attachment at different temperatures (11 to 35 °C) were studied for spat, juvenile and adult scallops. The lethal and sublethal effects of reduced salinity (13‰ to 33‰) on spat, juvenile and adult scallops were studied at ambient temperature (23.5 °C) and on spat also at low (16 °C) and high (28 °C) temperatures during 96-h bioassays. In addition, the influences of short exposure (1 h) to low salinity (13‰ and 17‰) at different temperatures (16 and 28 °C), and the effects of exposure (2 and 4 h) to high temperature (33 °C) at ambient salinity (33‰) were studied. N. nodosus is a moderately eurythermal but stenohaline tropical species, adults having lower tolerance to high temperature and low salinity than spat. Lethal temperatures for a 48-h exposure (LT50) were 29.8 °C for adult and juveniles, and 31.8 °C for spat. Maximum rate of byssal attachment occurred in a narrower temperature range for juveniles and adults (23 to 27 °C) than for spat (19 to 27 °C), which are suggested as the optimum ranges of temperatures for growth. Lethal salinities (LC50) for a 48-h exposure at ambient temperature were 23.2‰, 23.6‰ and 20.1‰ for adults, juveniles and spat, respectively, but the percent byssal attachment was significantly reduced below salinities of 29‰ indicating that scallops were physiologically stressed. A 1-h exposure to 17‰ was lethal to spat at 28 °C, but at 16 °C there was a 28.5% survival, 96 h after the exposure. Temperatures and salinity in coastal areas of southern Brazil can reach levels leading to sublethal effects, and in some sites, it may surpass the limits of tolerance for the survival of the species. 相似文献

A glucose-tolerant β-glucosidase was purified to homogeneity from prune (Prunus domestica) seeds by successive ammonium sulfate precipitation, hydrophobic interaction chromatography and anion-exchange chromatography. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be 61 kDa by SDS-PAGE and 54 kDa by gel permeation chromatography. The enzyme has a pI of 5.0 by isoelectric focusing and an optimum activity at pH 5.5 and 55 °C. It is stable at temperatures up to 45 °C and in a broad pH range. Its activity was completely inhibited by 5 mM of Ag+ and Hg2+. The enzyme hydrolyzed both p-nitrophenyl β-d-glucopyranoside with a Km of 3.09 mM and a Vmax of 122.1 μmol/min mg and p-nitrophenyl β-d-fucopyranoside with a Km of 1.65 mM and a Vmax of 217.6 μmol/min mg, while cellobiose was not a substrate. Glucono-δ-lactone and glucose competitively inhibited the enzyme with Ki values of 0.033 and 468 mM, respectively. 相似文献

The combined effects of temperature and salinity on larval development and attachment of Balanus trigonus Darwin (Cirripedia, Balanidae) was examined under controlled laboratory conditions. Whilst larval survivorship was not affected (>70%), the duration of larval development was significantly affected by temperature and salinity. The effect of temperature was comparatively stronger than that of salinity. The majority of nauplius II larvae metamorphosed into cypris stage after 4-5 and 10-11 days at 28 °C (22-34‰) and 18 °C (22-34‰), respectively. Temperature, salinity and the duration of assay had a significant effect on cypris attachment with significant interaction among these main effects. Maximum (>80% in 6 days) and minimum percent attachment (0% in 6 days) on polystyrene surfaces were observed at 24 °C (34‰) and 18 °C (22‰), respectively. At high temperature (28 °C) and low salinity (22-26‰), larvae rapidly (4 days) developed into cyprids, but less than 33% attached. These results suggest that low larval attachment rates may lead to the low recruitment of B. trigonus in Hong Kong waters during summer when the water temperature is high (about 28 °C) and salinity is low (<26‰). 相似文献

We used a central composite rotatable experimental design and response surface methodology to evaluate the effects of temperature (18–37 °C), salinity (0–20‰), and their interaction on specific growth rate (SGR), feed efficiency (FE), plasma osmolality, and gill Na+, K+-ATPase activity in GIFT tilapia juveniles. The linear and quadratic effects of temperature and salinity on SGR, plasma osmolality, and gill Na+, K+-ATPase activity were statistically significant (P<0.05). The interactive effects of temperature and salinity on plasma osmolality were significant (P<0.05). In contrast, the interaction term was not significant for SGR, FE, and gill Na+, K+-ATPase activity (P>0.05). The regression equations for SGR, FE, plasma osmolality, and gill Na+, K+-ATPase activity against the two factors of interest had coefficients of determination of 0.944, 0.984, 0.966, and 0.960, respectively (P<0.01). The optimal temperature/salinity combination was 28.9 °C/7.8‰ at which SGR (2.26% d1) and FE (0.82) were highest. These values correspond to the optimal temperature/salinity combination (29.1 °C/7.5‰) and the lowest plasma osmolality (348.38 mOsmol kg−1) and gill Na+, K+-ATPase activity (1.31 µmol Pi. h−1 g−1 protein), and resulted in an energy-saving effect on osmoregulation, which promoted growth. 相似文献

Seawater temperature and salinity are environmental variables that impose physiological limits for the embryonic development of marine invertebrates. For cephalopod species, these limits have rarely been established. This work presents experimental results on the embryonic survival of the Patagonian squid Loligo gahi, which is the last decades' most important loliginid species in terms of volume of commercial catches worldwide, as a function of seawater temperature and salinity. Reference magnitudes of surface seawater temperature and salinity within the area of distribution of the species were explored by analysis of satellite databases and published information. Embryos were incubated under eight constant regimes of temperature within 4-22 °C and four constant salinity regimes within 20-34.33‰ (12 °C). Also, to determine the effects of sudden temperature changes on embryonic survival, embryos were incubated at four variable regimes of temperature, with thermal shifts (6-day long 2-°C magnitude alterations of the incubation temperature) applied both at early and late stages of embryonic development. Embryonic survival was zero in incubations at constant temperature regimes ≤5° and at 22 °C, low at 6 °C, and high within 8-20 °C. A function was fitted by nonlinear regression to relate embryonic survival and mean incubation temperature. Thermal shifts applied in incubations at 20-22-20 °C variable regime of temperature provoked low embryonic survival compared to that observed in incubation at 20 °C constant regime. Embryonic survival was zero in incubations conducted at 20.0‰ and 34.3‰ salinity, and high at 26.4‰ and 32.8‰ salinities. 相似文献

Nitrogenous excretion and arginase specific activity were measured while Marsupenaeus japnoicus Bate (7.4±1.2 g) were exposed to 0 (control), 0.36 and 1.39 mM nitrite at 30‰ (g kg−1) salinity for 24 h. Excretions of total-N, organic-N, urea-N, and ammonia-N increased significantly with an increase of ambient nitrite. Arginase specific activities of hepatopancreas and hemolymph increased directly with ambient nitrite. The fact that M. japonicus following exposure to 1.39 mM nitrite increased its arginase specific activity indicated an argininolysis in reducing joint toxicities of metabolic ammonia and incorporated nitrite. 相似文献

The solitary ascidian Styela plicata (Lesueur) is a common member of epibenthic marine communities in Hong Kong, where seawater experiences extensive seasonal changes in temperature (18-30 °C) and salinity (22-34‰). In this investigation, the relative sensitivity of different developmental stages (i.e., duration of embryonic development, larval metamorphosis and post-larval growth) to various temperature (18, 22, 26 and 30 °C) and salinity (22‰, 26‰, 30‰ and 34‰) combinations is reported. Fertilized eggs did not develop at lower salinities (22‰ and 26‰). At higher salinities (30‰ and 34‰), the duration of embryonic development increased with decreasing temperature (18 °C: 11.5±0.3 h; 30 °C: 8.5±0.3 h). More than 50% of larvae spontaneously attached and metamorphosed at all the levels of temperature and salinity tested. At higher temperatures (22, 26 and 30 °C) and salinities (30‰ and 34‰), functional siphon developed in about 72 h after hatching, whereas at low temperature (18 °C), siphon developed only in <30% of individuals in about 90 h. However, none of the metamorphosed larvae developed subsequently at low salinity (22‰). When forced to swim (or delayed attachment), larvae lost about 0.27 mJ after 48 h (about 22% of the stored energy). Such a drop in energy reserves, however, was not strong enough to cause a significant impact on post-larval growth. This study suggests that temperature and salinity reductions due to seasonal monsoon may have significant effect on the embryo and post-larval growth of S. plicata in Hong Kong. 相似文献

Pacific sardines (Sardinops sagax) are commercially fished in Canada, USA, and Mexico along approximately 5000 km of coastal waters that experience a wide range of temperatures. Trinational management of the species can be problematic because the connectivity between spawning, recruitment, stock residency, and migration in some years may not be well predicted. Oxygen isotopic value of otoliths (δ18Ootolith) has been used to infer stock residency and movement of fish populations within regions, but few studies have used laboratory data to establish a predictive temperature model to validate δ18Ootolith values of wild fish. We conducted a growth experiment with juveniles at different temperatures using Southern California Bight (SCB) seawater to test the assumption that Pacific sardine otoliths accurately record environmental water temperature in the presence of constant salinity. Sardine δ18Ootolith values were significantly and negatively correlated with temperature according to the linear model:
δ18Ootolith(‰)−δ18Owater(‰)=−0.132(±0.003 SE)×Temperature(°C)+2.455(±0.043 SE) 相似文献

Critical thermal minima (CTMin) were determined for the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei juveniles from four different acclimation temperatures (15, 20, 25, and 30 °C) and salinities (10‰, 20‰, 30‰, and 40‰). The lowest and highest CTMin of shrimp ranged between 7.2 °C at 15 °C/30‰ and 11.44 °C at 30 °C/20‰ at the cooling rate of 1 °C h−1. Acclimation temperature and salinity, as well as the interaction of both parameters, had significant effects on the CTMin values of L. vannamei (P<0.01). Yet, the results showed a much more profound effect of temperature on low thermal tolerance of juveniles. Only 40‰ salinity had an influence on the CTMin values (P<0.01). As the acclimation temperature was lowered from 30 to 15 °C thermal tolerance of the shrimp significantly increased by 3.25–4.14 °C. The acclimation response ratio (ARR) of the Pacific white shrimp exposed to different combinations of salinity and temperature ranged between 0.25 and 0.27. When this species is farmed in sub-tropical regions, its pond water temperature in the over-wintering facilities (regardless of the water salinity level) must never fall below 12 °C throughout the cold season to prevent mortalities. 相似文献

Bacillus species producing a thermostable phytase was isolated from soil, boiled rice, and mezu (Korean traditinal koji). The activity of phytase increased markedly at the late stationary phase. An extracellular phytase from Bacillus sp. KHU-10 was purified to homogeneity by acetone precipitation and DEAE-Sepharose and phenyl-Sepharose column chromatographies. Its molecular weight was estimated to be 46 kDa on gel filtration and 44 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel elctrophoresis. Its optimum pH and temperature for phytase activity were pH 6.5-8.5 and 40°C without 10 mM CaCl2 and pH 6.0-9.5 and 60°C with 10 mM CaCl2. About 50% of its original activity remained after incubation at 80°C or 10 min in the presence of 10 mM CaCl2. The enzyme activity was fairly stable from pH 6.5 to 10.0. The enzyme had an isoelectric point of 6.8. As for substrate specificity, it was very specific for sodium phytate and showed no activity on other phosphate esters. The K
m value for sodium phytate was 50 M. Its activity was inhibited by EDTA and metal ions such as Ba2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Cr3+, Cu2+, Hg2+, and Mn2+ ions. 相似文献

High levels of an extracellular α-galactosidase are produced by the thermophilic fungus Thermomyces lanuginosus CBS 395.62/b when grown in submerse culture and induced by sucrose. The enzyme was purified 114-fold from the culture supernatant by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, and by chromatographical steps including Sepharose CL-6B gel filtration, DEAE-Sepharose FF anion-exchange, Q-Sepharose FF anion-exchange and Superose 12 gel filtration. The purified enzyme exhibits apparent homogeneity as judged by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and iso-electric focusing (IEF). The native molecular weight of the monomeric α-galactosidase is 93 kDa with an isoelectric point of 3.9. The enzyme displays a pH and temperature optimum of 5–5.5 and 65 °C, respectively. The purified enzyme retains more than 90% of its activity at 45 °C in a pH range from 5.5 to 9.0. The enzyme proves to be a glycoprotein and its carbohydrate content is 5.3%. Kinetic parameters were determined for the substrates p-nitrophenyl-α-galactopyranoside, raffinose and stachyose and very similar Km values of 1.13 mM, 1.61 mM and 1.17 mM were found. Mn++ ions activates enzyme activity, whereas inhibitory effects can be observed with Ca++, Zn++ and Hg++. Five min incubation at 65° with 10 mM Ag+ results in complete inactivation of the purified α-galactosidase. Amino acid sequence alignment of N-terminal sequence data allows the α-galactosidase from Thermomyces lanuginosus to be classified in glycosyl hydrolase family 36. 相似文献

In this work, we attempted to synthesize homoeriodictyol by transferring one methyl group of S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) to eriodictyol using flavone 3′-O-methyltransferase ROMT-9, which was produced by recombinant Yarrowia lipolytica. Specifically, the ROMT-9 gene from rice was synthesized and cloned into the multi-copy integrative vector pINA1297, and was further expressed in Y. lipolytica with a growth phase-dependent constitutive promoter hp4d. The highest ROMT-9 activity reached 5.53 U/L after 4 days of culture in shake flask. The optimal pH and temperature of the purified ROMT-9 were 8.0 and 37 °C, respectively. The purified enzyme was stable up to 40 °C, and retained more than 80% of its maximal activity between pH 6.5 and 9.0. The recombinant ROMT-9 did not require Mg2+ for catalysis, while was completely inhibited in the presence of 5 mM Zn2+, Cu2+, Ba2+, Al3+, or Ni2+. The purified ROMT-9 was used to synthesize homoeriodictyol, and the maximal transformation ratio reached 52.4% at 16 h under the following conditions: eriodictyol 0.2 g/L, ROMT-9 0.16 g/L, SAM 0.2 g/L, CH3OH 6% (v/v), temperature 37 °C, and pH 8.0. This work provides an alternative strategy for efficient synthesis of homoeriodictyol and compared to the traditional plant extraction or chemical synthesis, the biotransformation approach generates less environmental pollution and has a great potential for the sustainable production of homoeriodictyol. 相似文献

A Bacillus sp., isolated from sludge and sediments of pulp and paper mill, was found to produce xylanase in a synthetic culture media containing oat spelt xylan (1% w/v) and 10% black liquor as inducers along with 2.5% (w/v) sucrose as additional carbon source. The purified enzyme was highly thermostable with half-life of 10 min at 90 °C and pH 8. The enzyme was stable over a broad range of pH (pH 6-10) and showed good thermal stability when incubated at 70 °C. Chemicals like EDTA, Hg2+, Cu2+ and solvents like glycerol and acetonitrile completely inhibited enzyme activity at high concentration. The molecular weights of the purified enzyme, determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/MS) analysis was analogous to the results obtained from SDS-PAGE, i.e. 55 kDa. Kinetic parameters were determined by using oat spelt xylan as substrate. The KM and Vmax values of the enzyme were 4.4 mg/ml and 287 U/mg respectively. At high xylan concentrations (>70 mg/ml) a substrate inhibition phenomenon of the enzyme was observed. In addition, crude xylanase showed enormous potential for decolorization of various recalcitrant dyes. 相似文献
