Abstract: | An extracellular xylanase produced by Streptomyces matensis DW67 was purified from the culture supernatant by ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography and characterized. The xylanase was purified to 14.5-fold to homogeneity with a recovery yield of 14.1%. The purified xylanase appeared as a single protein band on SDS-PAGE with a molecular mass of 21.2 kDa. However, it had a very low apparent molecular mass of 3.3 kDa as determined by gel filtration chromatography. The N-terminal sequence of first 15 amino acid residues was determined as ATTITTNQTGYDGMY. The optimal temperature and pH for purified xylanase was 65 °C and pH 7.0, respectively. The enzyme was stable within the pH range of 4.5–8.0 and was up to 55 °C. The xylanase showed specific activity towards different xylans and no activity towards other substrates tested. Hydrolysis of birchwood xylan by the xylanase yielded xylobiose and xylotriose as principal products. The enzyme hardly hydrolyzed xylobiose and xylotriose, but it could hydrolyze xylotetraose and xylopentaose to produce mainly xylobiose and xylotriose through transglycosylation. These unique properties of the purified xylanase make this enzyme attractive for biotechnological applications, such as bioblenching in paper and pulp industries, production of xylooligosaccharides. This is the first report of the xylanase from S. matensis. |
