Abstract
Halophilic bacteria are extremophiles that thrive in saline environment. Their ability to withstand such harsh conditions makes them an ideal choice for industrial applications such as lignocellulosic biomass degradation. In this study, a halophilic bacterium with the ability to produce extracellular cellulases and hemicellulases, designated as Nesterenkonia sp. CL21, was isolated from mangrove sediment in Tanjung Piai National Park, Malaysia. Thus far, studies on lignocellulolytic enzymes concerning bacterial species under this genus are limited. To gain a comprehensive understanding of its lignocellulose-degrading potential, the whole genome was sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. The genome of strain CL21 was assembled into 25 contigs with 3,744,449 bp and a 69.74% GC content and was predicted to contain 3,348 coding genes. Based on taxonomy analysis, strain CL21 shares 73.8 to 82.0% average nucleotide identity with its neighbouring species, below the 95% threshold, indicating its possible status as a distinct species in Nesterenkonia genus. Through in-depth genomic mining, a total of 81 carbohydrate-active enzymes were encoded. Among these, 24 encoded genes were identified to encompass diverse cellulases (GH3), xylanases (GH10, GH11, GH43, GH51, GH127 and CE4), mannanases (GH38 and GH106) and pectinases (PL1, PL9, and PL11). The production of lignocellulolytic enzymes was tested in the presence of several substrates. This study revealed that strain CL21 can produce a diverse array of enzymes which are active at different time points. By combining experimental data with genomic information, the ability of strain CL21 to produce lignocellulolytic enzymes has been elucidated, with potential applications in biorefinery industry.

Abstract
Arabinoxylans (AXs) are hemicellulosic polysaccharides consisting of a linear backbone of β-1,4-linked xylose residues branched by high content of α-L-arabinofuranosyl (Araf) residues along with other side-chain substituents, and are abundantly found in various agricultural crops especially cereals. The efficient bioconversion of AXs into monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and/or other chemicals depends on the synergism of main-chain enzymes and de-branching enzymes. Exo-α-L-arabinofuranosidases (ABFs) catalyze the hydrolysis of terminal non-reducing α-1,2-, α-1,3- or α-1,5- linked α-L-Araf residues from arabinose-substituted polysaccharides or oligosaccharides. ABFs are critically de-branching enzymes in bioconversion of agricultural biomass, and have received special attention due to their application potentials in biotechnological industries. In recent years, the researches on microbial ABFs have developed quickly in the aspects of the gene mining, properties of novel members, catalytic mechanisms, methodologies, and application technologies. In this review, we systematically summarize the latest advances in microbial ABFs, and discuss the future perspectives of the enzyme research.

Abstract
Glycosidases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of glycosidic linkages in oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates. These enzymes play a vital role in a wide variety of biological events, such as digestion of nutritional carbohydrates, lysosomal catabolism of glycoconjugates, and posttranslational modifications of glycoproteins. Abnormal glycosidase activities are associated with a variety of diseases, particularly cancer and lysosomal storage disorders. Owing to the physiological and pathological significance of glycosidases, the development of small molecules that target these enzymes is an active area in glycoscience and medicinal chemistry. Research efforts carried out thus far have led to the discovery of numerous glycosidase-targeting small molecules that have been utilized to elucidate biological processes as well as to develop effective chemotherapeutic agents. In this review, we describe the results of research studies reported since 2018, giving particular emphasis to the use of fluorescent probes for detection and imaging of glycosidases, activity-based probes for covalent labelling of these enzymes, glycosidase inhibitors, and glycosidase-activatable prodrugs.

Abstract
Popillia japonica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), is an emerging invasive pest in Europe and America. In the Azores, this pest was first found on Terceira Island during the sixties and soon spread to other islands. The rate of infestation differs between islands, and we hypothesized that microbiome composition could play a role. Therefore, we sampled 3rd instar larvae and soil from sites with high and low infestation rates to analyze the microbiome using next-generation sequencing. We analyzed twenty-four 16S DNA libraries, which resulted in 3278 operational taxonomic units. The alpha and beta diversity of the soil microbiome was similar between sites. In contrast, the larvae from high-density sites presented a higher bacterial gut diversity than larvae from low-density sites, with biomarkers linked to plant digestion, nutrient acquisition, and detoxification. Consequently, larvae from high-density sites displayed several enriched molecular functions associated with the families Ruminococcaceae, Clostridiaceae and Rikenellaceae. These bacteria revealed a supportive function by producing several CAZyme families and other proteins. These findings suggest that the microbiome must be one drive for the increase in P. japonica populations, thus providing a checkpoint in the establishment and spread of this pest.

Abstract
The complete enzymatic degradation of lignocellulosic biomass requires the cooperative action of cellulosic, hemicellulosic, and lignolytic enzymes such as cellulase, xylanase, laccase, galactosidase, and arabinofuranosidase. Arabinofuranosidases (E.C 3.2.1.55), which belong to the glycoside hydrolase family of enzymes, hydrolyze the 1,3- and 1,5-α-arabinosyl bonds in L-arabinose- containing molecules. L-arabinoses are present in hemicellulosic part of lignocellulosic biomass. Arabinofuranosidases also play an important role in the complete hydrolysis of arabinoxylans. Analysis of the genome project and CAZY database revealed two putative arabinofuranosidase genes in the A. acidocaldarius genome. The aim of the study was cloning, heterologous expression, purification and biochemical characterization of the arabinofuranosidase enzyme encoded in A. acidocaldarius genome. For this purpose, the AbfA gene of the arabinofuranosidase protein was cloned into the pQE-40 vector, heterologously expressed in E. coli BL21 GOLD (DE3) and successfully purified using His-Tag. Biochemical characterization of the purified enzyme revealed that A. acidocaldarius arabinofuranosidase exhibited activity over a wide pH and temperature range with optimum activity at 45 ºC and pH 6.5 in phosphate buffer towards 4-nitrophenyl-α-L-arabinofuranoside as the substrate. In addition, the enzyme is highly stable over wide range of temperature and maintaining 60% of its activity after 90 min of incubation at 80 ºC. Through the bioinformatics studies, the homology model of A. acidocaldarius arabinofuranosidase was generated and the substrate binding site and residues located in this site were identified. Further molecular docking analysis revealed that the substrate located in the catalytically active pose and, residues N174, E175, and E294 have direct interaction with 4-nitrophenyl-α-L-arabinofuranoside. Moreover, based on phylogenetic analysis, A. acidocaldarius arabinofuranosidase exists in the sub-group of intracellular arabinofuranosidases, and G. stearothermophilus and B.subtilis arabinofuranosidases are close relatives of A. acidocaldarius arabinofuranosidase. This is the first study to report the gene cloning, recombinant expression and biochemical and bioinformatic characterization of an auxiliary GH51 arabinofuranosidase from an acidothermophilic bacterium A. acidocaldarius.

Abstract
One of the paper industry's major focuses is shifting toward eco-friendly paper production. Chemical-based bleaching of pulp, which is widely used in the paper industry, is a highly polluting step. Replacing it with enzymatic biobleaching is the most viable alternative to make the process of papermaking greener. Enzymes such as xylanase, mannanase, and laccase are suitable for the biobleaching of pulp, which involves the removal of hemicelluloses, lignins, and other undesirable components. However, as no single enzyme can achieve this, their application in industry is limited. To overcome these limitations, a cocktail of enzymes is required. A number of strategies have been explored for the production and application of a cocktail of enzymes for pulp biobleaching, but no comprehensive information is available in the literature. The present short communication has summarized, compared, and discussed the various studies in this regard, which will be highly useful to pursue further research in this regard and make the process of papermaking greener.

Computational design and structure dynamics analysis of bifunctional chimera of endoxylanase from Clostridium thermocellum and xylosidase from Bacteroides ovatus. 3 Biotech 2023; 13:59.

Abstract
Development of chimeric enzymes by protein engineering can more efficiently contribute toward biomass conversion for bioenergy generation. Therefore, prior to experimental validation, a computational approach by modeling and molecular dynamic simulation can assess the structural and functional behavior of chimeric enzymes. In this study, a bifunctional chimera, CtXyn11A-BoGH43A comprising an efficient endoxylanase (CtXyn11A) from Clostridium thermocellum and xylosidase (BoGH43A) from Bacteroides ovatus was computationally designed and its binding and stability analysis with xylooligosaccharides were performed. The modeled chimera showed β-jellyroll fold for CtXyn11A and 5-bladed β-propeller fold for BoGH43A module. Stereo-chemical properties analyzed by Ramachandran plot showed 98.8% residues in allowed region, validating the modeled chimera. The catalytic residues identified by multiple sequence alignment were Glu94 and Glu184 for CtXyn11A and Asp229 and Glu384 for BoGH43A modules. CtXyn11A followed retaining-type, whereas BoGH43A enforced inverting-type of reaction mechanism during xylan hydrolysis as revealed by superposition and GH11 and GH43 familial analyses. Molecular docking studies showed binding energy, (ΔG) - 4.54 and - 4.18 kcal/mol for CtXyn11A and BoGH43A modules of chimera, respectively, with xylobiose, while - 3.94 and - 3.82 kcal/mol for CtXyn11A and BoGH43A modules of chimera, respectively, with xylotriose. MD simulation of CtXyn11A-BoGH43A complexed with xylobiose and xylotriose till 100 ns displayed stability by RMSD, compactness by R g and conformational stability by SASA analyses. The lowered values of RMSF in active-site residues, Glu94, Glu184, Asp229, Asp335 and Glu384 confirmed the efficient binding of chimera with xylobiose and xylotriose. These results were in agreement with the earlier experimental studies on CtXyn11A releasing xylooligosaccharides from xylan and BoGH43A releasing d-xylose from xylooligosaccharides and xylobiose. The chimera showed stronger affinity in terms of total short-range interaction energy; - 190 and - 121 kJ/mol for with xylobiose and xylotriose, respectively. The bifunctional chimera, CtXyn11A-BoGH43A showed stability and integrity with xylobiose and xylotriose. The designed chimera can be constructed and applied for efficient biomass conversion.

Abstract
In a circular economy era the transition towards renewable and sustainable materials is very urgent. The development of bio-based solutions, that can ensure technological circularity in many priority areas (e.g., agriculture, biotechnology, ecology, green industry, etc.), is very strategic. The agricultural and fishing industry wastes represent important feedstocks that require the development of sustainable and environmentally-friendly industrial processes to produce and recover biofuels, chemicals and bioactive molecules. In this context, the replacement, in industrial processes, of chemicals with enzyme-based catalysts assures great benefits to humans and the environment. In this review, we describe the potentiality of the plastid transformation technology as a sustainable and cheap platform for the production of recombinant industrial enzymes, summarize the current knowledge on the technology, and display examples of cellulolytic enzymes already produced. Further, we illustrate several types of bacterial auxiliary and chitinases/chitin deacetylases enzymes with high biotechnological value that could be manufactured by plastid transformation.

Abstract
Alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase (Abf) is of big interest in various industrial areas. Directed evolution is a powerful strategy to identify significant residues underlying Abf properties. Here, six active variants from GH51 Abf of Geobacillus vulcani GS90 (GvAbf) by directed evolution were overproduced, extracted, and analyzed at biochemical and structural levels. According to the activity and thermostability results, the most-active and the least-active variants were found as GvAbf51 and GvAbf52, respectively. GvAbf63 variant was more active than parent GvAbf by 20% and less active than GvAbf51. Also, the highest thermostability belonged to GvAbf52 with 80% residual activity after 1 h. Comparative sequence and structure analyses revealed that GvAbf51 possessed L307S displacement. Thus, this study suggested that L307 residue may be critical for GvAbf activity. GvAbf63 had H30D, Q90H, and L307S displacements, and H30 was covalently bound to E29 catalytic residue. Thus, H30D may decrease the positive effect of L307S on GvAbf63 activity, preventing E29 action. Besides, GvAbf52 possessed S215N, L307S, H473P, and G476C substitutions and S215 was close to E175 (acid-base residue). S215N may partially disrupt E175 action. Overall effect of all substitutions in GvAbf52 may result in the formation of the C-C bond between C171 and C213 by becoming closer to each other.

A Functional Carbohydrate Degrading Enzyme Potentially Acquired by Horizontal Gene Transfer in the Genome of the Soil Invertebrate Folsomia candida. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13081402. [PMID: 36011312 PMCID: PMC9460274 DOI: 10.3390/genes13081402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is defined as the acquisition by an organism of hereditary material from a phylogenetically unrelated organism. This process is mostly observed among bacteria and archaea, and considered less likely between microbes and multicellular eukaryotes. However, recent studies provide compelling evidence of the evolutionary importance of HGT in eukaryotes, driving functional innovation. Here, we study an HGT event in Folsomia candida (Collembola, Hexapoda) of a carbohydrate-active enzyme homologous to glycosyl hydrase group 43 (GH43). The gene encodes an N-terminal signal peptide, targeting the product for excretion, which suggests that it contributes to the diversity of digestive capacities of the detritivore host. The predicted α-L-arabinofuranosidase shows high similarity to genes in two other Collembola, an insect and a tardigrade. The gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli using a cell-free protein expression system. The expressed protein showed activity against p-nitrophenyl-α-L-arabinofuranoside. Our work provides evidence for functional activity of an HGT gene in a soil-living detritivore, most likely from a bacterial donor, with genuine eukaryotic properties, such as a signal peptide.

Abstract
Permafrost, an important source of soil disturbance, is particularly vulnerable to climate change in Alaska where 85% of the land is underlained with discontinuous permafrost. Boreal forests, home to plants integral to subsistence diets of many Alaska Native communities, are not immune to the effects of climate change. Soil disturbance events, such as permafrost thaw, wildfires, and land use change can influence abiotic conditions, which can then affect active layer soil microbial communities. In a previous study, we found negative effects on boreal plants inoculated with microbes impacted by soil disturbance compared to plants inoculated with microbes from undisturbed soils. Here, we identify key shifts in microbial communities altered by soil disturbance using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and make connections between microbial community changes and previously observed plant growth. Additionally, we identify further community shifts in potential functional mechanisms using long read metagenomics. Across a soil disturbance gradient, microbial communities differ significantly based on the level of soil disturbance. Consistent with the earlier study, the family Acidobacteriaceae, which consists of known plant growth promoters, was abundant in undisturbed soil, but practically absent in most disturbed soil. In contrast, Comamonadaceae, a family with known agricultural pathogens, was overrepresented in most disturbed soil communities compared to undisturbed. Within our metagenomic data, we found that soil disturbance level is associated with differences in microbial community function, including mechanisms potentially involved in plant pathogenicity. These results indicate that a decrease in plant growth can be linked to changes in the microbial community and functional composition driven by soil disturbance and climate change. Together, these results build a genomic understanding of how shifting soil microbiomes may affect plant productivity and ecosystem health as the Arctic warms.

Abstract
Anoplophora glabripennis (Asian longhorned beetle) is a wood-boring pest that can inhabit a wide range of healthy deciduous host trees in native and invaded areas. The gut microbiota plays important roles in the acquisition of nutrients for the growth and development of A. glabripennis larvae. Herein, we investigated the larval gut structure and studied the lignocellulose activity and microbial communities of the larval gut following feeding on different host trees. The larval gut was divided into foregut, midgut, and hindgut, of which the midgut is the longest, forming a single loop under itself. Microbial community composition and lignocellulose activity in larval gut extracts were correlated with host tree species. A. glabripennis larvae fed on the preferred host (Populus gansuensis) had higher lignocellulose activity and microbial diversity than larvae reared on either a secondary host (Salix babylonica) or a resistant host (Populus alba var. pyramidalis). Wolbachia was the most dominant bacteria in the gut of larvae fed on S. babylonica and P. alba var. pyramidalis, while Enterococcus and Gibbsiella were the most dominant in larvae fed on P. gansuensis, followed by Wolbachia. The lignocellulose-degrading fungus Fusarium solani was dominant in the larval gut fed on different host trees. Functional predictions of microbial communities in the larval gut fed on different resistant host trees suggested that they all play a role in degrading lignocellulose, detoxification, and fixing nitrogen, which likely contribute to the ability of these larvae to thrive in a broad range of host tree species.

Abstract
Microbial lipase is looking for better attention with the fast growth of enzyme proficiency and other benefits like easy, cost-effective, and reliable manufacturing. Immobilized enzymes can be used repetitively and are incapable to catalyze the reactions in the system continuously. Hydrophobic supports are utilized to immobilize enzymes when the ionic strength is low. This approach allows for the immobilization, purification, stability, and hyperactivation of lipases in a single step. The diffusion of the substrate is more advantageous on hydrophobic supports than on hydrophilic supports in the carrier. These approaches are critical to the immobilization performance of the enzyme. For enzyme immobilization, synthesis provides a higher pH value as well as greater heat stability. Using a mixture of immobilization methods, the binding force between enzymes and the support rises, reducing enzyme leakage. Lipase adsorption produces interfacial activation when it is immobilized on hydrophobic support. As a result, in the immobilization process, this procedure is primarily used for a variety of industrial applications. Microbial sources, immobilization techniques, and industrial applications in the fields of food, flavor, detergent, paper and pulp, pharmaceuticals, biodiesel, derivatives of esters and amino groups, agrochemicals, biosensor applications, cosmetics, perfumery, and bioremediation are all discussed in this review.

Abstract
α-l-Arabinofuranosidases (ABFs) are important enzymes in plant biomass degradation with a wide range of applications. The ascomycete fungus Penicillium subrubescens has more α-l-arabinofuranosidase-encoding genes in its genome compared to other Penicillia. We characterized nine ABFs from glycoside hydrolase (GH) families GH51, GH54 and GH62 from this fungus and demonstrated that they have highly diverse specificity and activity levels, indicating that the expansion was accompanied by diversification of the enzymes. Comparison of the substrate preference of the enzymes to the expression of the corresponding genes when the fungus was grown on either of two plant biomass substrates did not show a clear correlation, suggesting a more complex regulatory system governing l-arabinose release from plant biomass by P. subrubescens.

Abstract
Arabinan in plant cell wall constitutes a major source of arabinose and arabino-oligosaccharides in nature. Exo-α-l-1,5-arabinanases release arabinose or arabino-oligosaccharides from arabinan in an exo-acting manner and therefore contribute to arabinan degradation. In this study, an exo-α-l-1,5-arabinanase belonging to GH93 family was identified from the thermophilic filamentous fungus Rasamsonia emersonii. The corresponding encoding gene (Reabn93) was cloned from the R. emersonii genome and heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris. The purified recombinant ReAbn93 exhibited the maximum activity at 70 °C and retained 70% of its activity after incubation at 70 °C for 3 h ReAbn93 had an acidic pH optimum (pH 4.0) but remained stable over a broad pH range (pH 3-9). The specific activity of ReAbn93 toward linear arabinan under optimal conditions was 466.08 U mg-1. Similar to the few other reported GH93 members, ReAbn93 degrades linear arabinan or arabino-oligosaccharides in an exo-acting manner with arabinobiose as the only hydrolytic product. Of note, ReAbn93 possessed remarkably better thermostability and higher specific activity compared to the only reported thermophilic counterpart in GH93, and therefore holds potential in relevant biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Tyrosol (T) and hydroxytyrosol (HOT) and their glycosides are promising candidates for applications in functional food products or in complementary therapy. A series of phenylethanoid glycofuranosides (PEGFs) were synthesized to compare some of their biochemical and biological activities with T and HOT. The optimization of glycosylation promoted by environmentally benign basic zinc carbonate was performed to prepare HOT α-L-arabino-, β-D-apio-, and β-D-ribofuranosides. T and HOT β-D-fructofuranosides, prepared by enzymatic transfructosylation of T and HOT, were also included in the comparative study. The antioxidant capacity and DNA-protective potential of T, HOT, and PEGFs on plasmid DNA were determined using cell-free assays. The DNA-damaging potential of the studied compounds for human hepatoma HepG2 cells and their DNA-protective potential on HepG2 cells against hydrogen peroxide were evaluated using the comet assay. Experiments revealed a spectrum of different activities of the studied compounds. HOT and HOT β-D-fructofuranoside appear to be the best-performing scavengers and protectants of plasmid DNA and HepG2 cells. T and T β-D-fructofuranoside display almost zero or low scavenging/antioxidant activity and protective effects on plasmid DNA or HepG2 cells. The results imply that especially HOT β-D-fructofuranoside and β-D-apiofuranoside could be considered as prospective molecules for the subsequent design of supplements with potential in food and health protection.

Abstract
Arabinogalactans (AGs) are structural polysaccharides of the plant cell wall. A small proportion of the AGs are associated with hemicellulose and pectin. Furthermore, AGs are associated with proteins forming the so-called arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs), which can be found in the plant cell wall or attached through a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor to the plasma membrane. AGPs are a family of highly glycosylated proteins grouped with cell wall proteins rich in hydroxyproline. These glycoproteins have important and diverse functions in plants, such as growth, cellular differentiation, signaling, and microbe-plant interactions, and several reports suggest that carbohydrate components are crucial for AGP functions. In beneficial plant-microbe interactions, AGPs attract symbiotic species of fungi or bacteria, promote the development of infectious structures and the colonization of root tips, and furthermore, these interactions can activate plant defense mechanisms. On the other hand, plants secrete and accumulate AGPs at infection sites, creating cross-links with pectin. As part of the plant cell wall degradation machinery, beneficial and pathogenic fungi and bacteria can produce the enzymes necessary for the complete depolymerization of AGs including endo-β-(1,3), β-(1,4) and β-(1,6)-galactanases, β-(1,3/1,6) galactanases, α-L-arabinofuranosidases, β-L-arabinopyranosidases, and β-D-glucuronidases. These hydrolytic enzymes are secreted during plant-pathogen interactions and could have implications for the function of AGPs. It has been proposed that AGPs could prevent infection by pathogenic microorganisms because their degradation products generated by hydrolytic enzymes of pathogens function as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) eliciting the plant defense response. In this review, we describe the structure and function of AGs and AGPs as components of the plant cell wall. Additionally, we describe the set of enzymes secreted by microorganisms to degrade AGs from AGPs and its possible implication for plant-microbe interactions.

Abstract
The European woodwasp, Sirex noctilio Fabricius, is a major invasive quarantine pest that attacks and kills pine trees outside of its native range. Insect gut structure and gut microbiota play crucial roles in various life activities. Despite a few reports in nutrition and survival, an extensive study on the S. noctilio larval gut microbiome is lacking. We studied the gut structure using a stereo microscope and used high throughput sequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA genes and fungal internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) regions to investigate gut microbiota in different developmental stages of S. noctilio, including larvae, adults, and larval frass. We used PICRUSt2 to predict the functional profiles. The larval gut was thin and thread-like from the oral cavity to the anus, carrying few xylem particles in the crop. Pseudomonas, Ralstonia, and Burkholderia s.l were the dominant bacteria in the guts of larvae, adults, and frass, respectively. Even though Pseudomonas was the most abundant among all bacteria, Zoogloea, Ruminobacter, and Nitrosospira, which might be involved in degrading organic matter and fixing nitrogen occurred exclusively in the larval gut indicating their possible role in the growth and development of larvae in pine tree xylem. Fungal communities did not change significantly across different developmental stages or the frass. Amylostereum was dominant in the woodwasp’s larval gut. Functional prediction of bacterial and fungal communities revealed that they may encod enzymes involved in degrading lignocellulose and fixing nitrogen. Ours is the first study that compares gut microbial communities present in S. noctilio larvae, adults, and frass. This study could provide an understanding of larval nutrient acquisition in nutrient-deficient host xylem to some extent. Our study may unlock novel strategies for the development of pest management approaches based on interfering with the gut microbiota and restricting their role in larval survival and development.

Abstract
Plant biomass constitutes the main source of renewable carbon on the planet. Its valorization has traditionally been focused on the use of cellulose, although hemicellulose is the second most abundant group of polysaccharides on Earth. The main enzymes involved in plant biomass degradation are glycosyl hydrolases, and filamentous fungi are good producers of these enzymes. In this study, a new strain of Aspergillus niger was used for hemicellulase production under solid-state fermentation using wheat straw as single-carbon source. Physicochemical parameters for the production of an endoxylanase were optimized by using a One-Factor-at-a-Time (OFAT) approach and response surface methodology (RSM). Maximum xylanase yield after RSM optimization was increased 3-fold, and 1.41- fold purification was achieved after ultrafiltration and ion-exchange chromatography, with about 6.2% yield. The highest activity of the purified xylanase was observed at 50 °C and pH 6. The enzyme displayed high thermal and pH stability, with more than 90% residual activity between pH 3.0–9.0 and between 30–40 °C, after 24 h of incubation, with half-lives of 30 min at 50 and 60 °C. The enzyme was mostly active against wheat arabinoxylan, and its kinetic parameters were analyzed (Km = 26.06 mg·mL−1 and Vmax = 5.647 U·mg−1). Wheat straw xylan hydrolysis with the purified β-1,4 endoxylanase showed that it was able to release xylooligosaccharides, making it suitable for different applications in food technology.

Abstract
Two genes encoding probable α-L-arabinofuranosidase (E.C. 3.2.1.55) isozymes (ABFs) with 92.3% amino acid sequence identity, ABF51A and ABF51B, were found from chromosomes 3 and 5 of Saccharomycopsis fibuligera KJJ81, an amylolytic yeast isolated from Korean wheat-based nuruk, respectively. Each open reading frame consists of 1,551 nucleotides and encodes a protein of 517 amino acids with the molecular mass of approximately 59 kDa. These isozymes share approximately 49% amino acid sequence identity with eukaryotic ABFs from filamentous fungi. The corresponding genes were cloned, functionally expressed, and purified from Escherichia coli. SfABF51A and SfABF51B showed the highest activities on p-nitrophenyl arabinofuranoside at 40~45°C and pH 7.0 in sodium phosphate buffer and at 50°C and pH 6.0 in sodium acetate buffer, respectively. These exo-acting enzymes belonging to the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 51 could hydrolyze arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides (AXOS) and arabino-oligosaccharides (AOS) to produce only L-arabinose, whereas they could hardly degrade any polymeric substrates including arabinans and arabinoxylans. The detailed product analyses revealed that both SfABF51 isozymes can catalyze the versatile hydrolysis of α-(1,2)-and α-(1,3)-L-arabinofuranosidic linkages of AXOS, and α-(1,2)-, α-(1,3)-, and α-(1,5)-linkages of linear and branched AOS. On the contrary, they have much lower activity against the α-(1,2)-and α-(1,3)-double-substituted substrates than the single-substituted ones. These hydrolases could potentially play important roles in the degradation and utilization of hemicellulosic biomass by S. fibuligera.

Enzyme Microb Technol 2020; 144:109726. [PMID: 33541569 DOI: 10.1016/j.enzmictec.2020.109726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2020] [Revised: 11/25/2020] [Accepted: 12/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
α-l-arabinofuranosidases (EC 3.2.1.55; AFs) cause the release of arabinosyl residues from hemicellulose polymers such as xylans, and are receiving increased levels of research attention as they could be applied in a range of processes that involve the enzymatic degradation of xylans. The secretory production of bacterial AFs has not been attempted previously. In this study, we designed a unique induction system for the production of a recombinant AF in Bacillus subtilis in order to exploit its enzymic degradation of wheat bran. We found that non-starch phytochemicals were more efficient than d-xylose when inducing the expression of T7 RNA polymerase and driving the transcription of AF by the T7 promoter. The host cell, B. subtilis (ATCC 6051a-derived strain 164T7P) was engineered to incorporate a DNA cassette that expressed T7 RNA polymerase under the control of a d-xylose inducible promoter (PxylA). The T7 promoter engineered into 164T7P was initially tested and compared with P43 in terms of GFP expression; we found that the expression level of GFP by the T7 promoter was ten-fold higher than that achieved by P43. When cultured in a flask with gentle shaking, and with d-xylose as an inducer, the recombinant strain successfully expressed arbf, a family 51 (GH 51) glycoside hydrolase from Bacillus licheniformis, and secreted 141.4 ± 4.8 U/mL of enzyme, with a Km of 1.4 ± 0.1 mM and a kcat of 139.4 s-1. However, the protein was devoid of a secretary signal peptide. When cultures were supplemented with wheat bran, the maximal yield of the secreted AF reached 194.8 ± 4.1 U/mL. The results provide a foundation for the high level production of heterologous proteins using wheat bran as the inducer in B. subtilis.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic material has drawn significant attention among the scientific community due to its year-round availability as a renewable resource for industrial consumption. Being an economic substrate alternative, various industries are reevaluating processes to incorporate derived compounds from these materials. Varieties of fungi and bacteria have the ability to depolymerize lignocellulosic biomass by synthesizing degrading enzymes. Owing to catalytic activity stability and high yields of conversion, lignocellulolytic enzymes derived from fungi currently have a high spectrum of industrial applications. Moreover, these materials are cost effective, eco-friendly and nontoxic while having a low energy input. Techno-economic analysis for current enzyme production technologies indicates that synthetic production is not commercially viable. Instead, the economic projection of the use of naturally-produced ligninolytic enzymes is promising. This approach may improve the economic feasibility of the process by lowering substrate expenses and increasing lignocellulosic by-product's added value. The present review will discuss the classification and enzymatic degradation pathways of lignocellulolytic biomass as well as the potential and current industrial applications of the involved fungal enzymes.

Abstract
Abstract Arabinofuranose substitutions on xylan are known to interfere with enzymatic hydrolysis of this primary hemicellulose. In this work, two novel α-l-arabinofuranosidases (ABFs), TtABF51A from Thielavia terrestris and EpABF62C from Eupenicillium parvum, were characterized and functionally analyzed. From sequences analyses, TtABF51A and EpABF62C belong to glycoside hydrolase (GH) families 51 and 62, respectively. Recombinant TtABF51A showed high activity on 4-nitrophenyl-α-l-arabinofuranoside (83.39 U/mg), low-viscosity wheat arabinoxylan (WAX, 39.66 U/mg), high-viscosity rye arabinoxylan (RAX, 32.24 U/mg), and sugarbeet arabinan (25.69 U/mg), while EpABF62C preferred to degrade arabinoxylan. For EpABF62C, the rate of hydrolysis of RAX (94.10 U/mg) was 2.1 times that of WAX (45.46 U/mg). The optimal pH and reaction temperature for the two enzymes was between 4.0 and 4.5 and 65 °C, respectively. Calcium played an important role in the thermal stability of EpABF62C. TtABF51A and EpABF62C showed the highest thermal stabilities at pH 4.5 or 5.0, respectively. At their optimal pHs, TtABF51A and EpABF62C retained greater than 80% of their initial activities after incubation at 55 °C for 96 h or 144 h, respectively. 1H NMR analysis indicated that the two enzymes selectively removed arabinose linked to C-3 of mono-substituted xylose residues in WAX. Compared with the singular application of the GH10 xylanase EpXYN1 from E. parvum, co-digestions of WAX including TtABF51A and/or EpABF62C released 2.49, 3.38, and 4.81 times xylose or 3.38, 1.65, and 2.57 times of xylobiose, respectively. Meanwhile, the amount of arabinose released from WAX by TtABF51A with EpXYN1 was 2.11 times the amount with TtABF51A alone. Key points • Two novel α-l-arabinofuranosidases (ABFs) displayed high thermal stability. • The thermal stability of GH62 family EpABF62C was dependent on calcium. • Buffer pH affects the thermal stability of the two ABFs. • Both ABFs enhance the hydrolysis of WAX by a GH10 xylanase.

Abstract
A large amount of agro-industrial waste is produced worldwide in various agricultural sectors and by different food industries. The disposal and burning of this waste have created major global environmental problems. Agro-industrial waste mainly consists of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, all of which are collectively defined as lignocellulosic materials. This waste can serve as a suitable substrate in the solid-state fermentation process involving mushrooms. Mushrooms degrade lignocellulosic substrates through lignocellulosic enzyme production and utilize the degraded products to produce their fruiting bodies. Therefore, mushroom cultivation can be considered a prominent biotechnological process for the reduction and valorization of agro-industrial waste. Such waste is generated as a result of the eco-friendly conversion of low-value by-products into new resources that can be used to produce value-added products. Here, we have produced a brief review of the current findings through an overview of recently published literature. This overview has focused on the use of agro-industrial waste as a growth substrate for mushroom cultivation and lignocellulolytic enzyme production.

Abstract
Alpha-L-arabinofuranoside arabinofuranohydrolase (ARA), more commonly known as alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase (E.C. number 3.2.1.55), is a hydrolytic enzyme, catalyzing the cleavage of alpha-L-arabinose by acting on the non-reducing ends of alpha-L-arabinofuranosides, alpha-L-arabinans containing (1,3)- and/or (1,5)-linked arabinoxylans and arabinogalactans. ARA functions as debranching enzyme removing arabinose substituents from arabinoxylan and arabinoxylooligomers, thereby, boosting the hydrolysis of arabinoxylan fraction of hemicellulose and improving bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass. Previously, comprehensive information on this enzyme has not been reviewed thoroughly. Therefore, the main aim of this review is to highlight the important properties of this interesting enzyme, microorganisms used for its production, and enhanced production using genetic engineering approach. An account on synergism with other biomass hydrolyzing enzymes and various industrial applications of this enzyme has also been provided along with an outlook on further research and development.

Abstract
The genus Caldicellulosiruptor is comprised of extremely thermophilic, heterotrophic anaerobes that degrade plant biomass using modular, multifunctional enzymes. Prior pangenome analyses determined that this genus is genetically diverse, with the current pangenome remaining open, meaning that new genes are expected with each additional genome sequence added. Given the high biodiversity observed among the genus Caldicellulosiruptor, we have sequenced and added a 14th species, Caldicellulosiruptor changbaiensis, to the pangenome. The pangenome now includes 3791 ortholog clusters, 120 of which are unique to C. changbaiensis and may be involved in plant biomass degradation. Comparisons between C. changbaiensis and Caldicellulosiruptor bescii on the basis of growth kinetics, cellulose solubilization and cell attachment to polysaccharides highlighted physiological differences between the two species which are supported by their respective gene inventories. Most significantly, these comparisons indicated that C. changbaiensis possesses uncommon cellulose attachment mechanisms not observed among the other strongly cellulolytic members of the genus Caldicellulosiruptor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The α-l-arabinofuranosidases (α-l-ABFs) are exoenzymes involved in the hydrolysis of α-l-arabinosyl linkages in plant cell wall polysaccharides. They play a crucial role in the degradation of arabinoxylan and arabinan and they are used in many biotechnological applications. Analysis of the genome of R. cellulolyticum showed that putative cellulosomal α-l-ABFs are exclusively encoded by the xyl-doc gene cluster, a large 32-kb gene cluster. Indeed, among the 14 Xyl-Doc enzymes encoded by this gene cluster, 6 are predicted to be α-l-ABFs belonging to the CAZyme families GH43 and GH62. RESULTS The biochemical characterization of these six Xyl-Doc enzymes revealed that four of them are α-l-ABFs. GH4316-1229 (RcAbf43A) which belongs to the subfamily 16 of the GH43, encoded by the gene at locus Ccel_1229, has a low specific activity on natural substrates and can cleave off arabinose decorations located at arabinoxylan chain extremities. GH4310-1233 (RcAbf43Ad2,3), the product of the gene at locus Ccel_1233, belonging to subfamily 10 of the GH43, can convert the double arabinose decorations present on arabinoxylan into single O2- or O3-linked decorations with high velocity (k cat = 16.6 ± 0.6 s-1). This enzyme acts in synergy with GH62-1234 (RcAbf62Am2,3), the product of the gene at locus Ccel_1234, a GH62 α-l-ABF which hydrolyzes α-(1 → 3) or α-(1 → 2)-arabinosyl linkages present on polysaccharides and arabinoxylooligosaccharides monodecorated. Finally, a bifunctional enzyme, GH62-CE6-1240 (RcAbf62Bm2,3Axe6), encoded by the gene at locus Ccel_1240, which contains a GH62-α-l-ABF module and a carbohydrate esterase (CE6) module, catalyzes deacylation of plant cell wall polymers and cleavage of arabinosyl mono-substitutions. These enzymes are also active on arabinan, a component of the type I rhamnogalacturonan, showing their involvement in pectin degradation. CONCLUSION Arabinofuranosyl decorations on arabinoxylan and pectin strongly inhibit the action of xylan-degrading enzymes and pectinases. α-l-ABFs encoded by the xyl-doc gene cluster of R. cellulolyticum can remove all the decorations present in the backbone of arabinoxylan and arabinan, act synergistically, and, thus, play a crucial role in the degradation of plant cell wall polysaccharides.

Mutations in AraR leading to constitutive expression of arabinolytic genes in Aspergillus niger under derepressing conditions [corrected]. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2019; 103:4125-4136. [PMID: 30963207 PMCID: PMC6486530 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-019-09777-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2018] [Revised: 03/08/2019] [Accepted: 03/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
The AraR transcription factor of Aspergillus niger encodes a Zn(II)2Cys6 transcription factor required for the induction of genes encoding arabinolytic enzymes. One of the target genes of AraR is abfA, encoding an arabinofuranosidase. The expression of abfA as well as other L-arabinose-induced genes in A. niger requires the presence of L-arabinose or its derivative L-arabitol as an inducer to activate AraR-dependant gene expression. In this study, mutants were isolated that express L-arabinose-induced genes independently of the presence of an inducer under derepressing conditions. To obtain these mutants, a reporter strain was constructed in a ΔcreA background containing the L-arabinose-responsive promoter (PabfA) fused to the acetamidase (amdS) gene. Spores of the ΔcreA PabfA-amdS reporter strain were UV-mutagenized and mutants were obtained by their ability to grow on acetamide without the presence of inducer. From a total of 164 mutants, 15 mutants were identified to contain transacting mutations resulting in high arabinofuranosidase activity in the medium after growth under non-inducing conditions. Sequencing of the araR gene of the 15 constitutive mutants revealed that 14 mutants carried a mutation in AraR. Some mutations were found more than once and in total nine different point mutations were identified in AraR. The AraRN806I point mutation was reintroduced into a parental strain and confirmed that this point mutation leads to inducer-independent expression of AraR target genes. The inducer independent of L-arabinose-induced genes in the AraRN806I mutant was found to be sensitive to carbon catabolite repression, indicating that the CreA-mediated carbon catabolite repression is dominant over the AraRN806I mutant allele. These mutations in AraR provide new opportunities to improve arabinase production in industrial fungal strains.

The modular arabinanolytic enzyme Abf43A-Abf43B-Abf43C from Ruminiclostridium josui consists of three GH43 modules classified in different subfamilies. Enzyme Microb Technol 2019; 124:23-31.

Abstract
The abnA gene from Ruminiclostridium josui encodes the large modular arabinanolytic enzyme, Abf43A-Abf43B-Abf43C, consisting of an N-terminal signal peptide, a Laminin_G_3 module, a GH43_22 module, a Laminin_G_3 module, a Big_4 module, a GH43_26 module, a GH43_34 module and a dockerin module in order with a calculated molecular weight of 204,108. Three truncated enzymes were recombinantly produced in Escherichia coli and biochemically characterized, RjAbf43A consisting of the first Laminin_G_3 module and GH43_22 module, RjAbf43B consisting of the second Laminin_G_3 module, Big_4 module and GH43_26 module, and RjAbf43C consisting of the GH43_34 module. RjAbf43A showed a strong α-l-arabinofuranosidase activity toward sugar beet arabinan, highly branched arabinan but not linear arabinan, thus it acted in the removal of arabinose side chains from sugar beet arabinan. By contrast, RjAbf43B showed a strong exo-α-1,5-l-arabinofuranosidase activity toward linear arabinan and arabinooligosaccharides whereas RjAbf43C showed low activity toward these substrates. Although RjAbf43B was activated by the presence of some metal ions such as Zn2+, Mg2+ and Ni2+, RjAbf43A was inhibited by these ions. RjAbf43A and RjAbf43B attacked sugar beet arabinan in a synergistic manner. By comparison, RjAbf43A-Abf43B containing both GH43_22 and GH43_26 modules showed lower hydrolytic activity toward sugar beet arabinan but higher activity toward sugar beet fiber than the sum of the individual activities of RjAbf43A and RjAbf43B, suggesting that the coexistence of two distinct GH43 modules in a single polypeptide is important for the efficient hydrolysis of an insoluble and natural polysaccharide but not a soluble substrate.

Abstract
α-L-arabinofuranosidase (ARA) with enhanced specific activity and in large amounts, is needed for a variety of industrial applications. To improve ARA production with engineered methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris, a genetically modified ara gene from Aspergillus niger ND-1 was investigated. Through codon optimization and rational replacement of α-factor signal peptide with the native propeptide (MFSRRNLVALGLAATVSA), ARA production was improved from 2.61 ± 0.13 U/mL to 14.37 ± 0.22 U/mL in shaking flask culture (a 5.5-fold increase). Results of N-terminal sequencing showed that secreted active ARA of recombinant strain p-oARA had theoretical initial five amino acids (GPCDI) comparable to the mature sequences of α-oARA (EAEAG) and αp-oARA (NLVAL). The kinetic values have been determined for ARA of recombinant strain p-oARA (Vmax = 747.55 μmol/min/mg, Km = 5.36 mmol/L), optimal activity temperature 60°C and optimal pH 4.0. Scaling up of ARA production by p-oARA in a 7.5-L fermentor resulted in remarkably high extracellular ARA specific activity (479.50 ± 12.83 U/mg) at 168 h, and maximal production rate 164.47 ± 4.40 U/mL. In studies of corn stover degradation activity, degree of synergism for ARA and xylanase was 32.4% and enzymatic hydrolysis yield for ARA + xylanase addition was 15.9% higher than that of commercial cellulase, indicating significant potential of ARA for catalytic conversion of corn stover to fermentable sugars for biofuel production.

Abstract
The thermostable endo-1,5-α-L-arabinanase from Bacillus thermodenitrificans TS-3 (ABN-TS) hydrolyzes the α-1,5-L-arabinofuranoside linkages of arabinan. In this study, the crystal structures of inactive ABN-TS mutants, D27A and D147N, were determined in complex with arabino-oligosaccharides. The crystal structures revealed that ABN-TS has at least six subsites in the deep V-shaped cleft formed across one face of the propeller structure. The structural features indicate that substrate recognition is profoundly influenced by the remote subsites as well as by the subsites surrounding the active center. The `open' structure of the substrate-binding cleft of the endo-acting ABN-TS is suitable for the random binding of several sugar units in polymeric substrates.

Abstract
α-L-Arabinofuranosidase (Abf) is a potential enzyme because of its synergistic effect with other hemicellulases in agro-industrial field. In this study, directed evolution was applied to Abf from Geobacillus vulcani GS90 (GvAbf) using one round error-prone PCR and constructed a library of 73 enzyme variants of GvAbf. The activity screening of the enzyme variants was performed on soluble protein extracts using p-nitrophenyl α-L-arabinofuranoside as substrate. Two high activity displaying variants (GvAbf L307S and GvAbf Q90H/L307S) were selected, purified, partially characterized, and structurally analyzed. The specific activities of both variants were almost 2.5-fold more than that of GvAbf. Both GvAbf variants also exhibited higher thermal stability but lower alkaline stability in reference to GvAbf. The structural analysis of GvAbf model indicated that two mutation sites Q90H and L307S in both GvAbf variants are located in TIM barrel domain, responsible for catalytic action in many Glycoside Hydrolase Families including GH51. The structure of GvAbf model displayed that the position of L307S mutation is closer to the catalytic residues of GvAbf compared with Q90H mutation and also L307S mutation is conserved in both variants of GvAbf. Therefore, it was hypothesized that L307S amino acid substitution may play a critical role in catalytic activity of GvAbf.

Abstract
Rice ( L.) is one of the most important staple food crops in the world; however, there has recently been a shift in consumer demand for higher grain quality. Therefore, understanding the genetic architecture of grain quality has become a key objective of rice breeding programs. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using large diversity panels have successfully identified genomic regions associated with complex traits in diverse crop species. Our main objective was to identify genomic regions associated with grain quality and to identify and characterize favorable haplotypes for selection. We used two locally adapted rice breeding populations and historical phenotypic data for three rice quality traits: yield after milling, percentage of head rice recovery, and percentage of chalky grain. We detected 22 putative quantitative trait loci (QTL) in the same genomic regions as starch synthesis, starch metabolism, and cell wall synthesis-related genes are found. Additionally, we found a genomic region on chromosome 6 in the population that was associated with all quality traits and we identified favorable haplotypes. Furthermore, this region is linked to the gene that codes for a starch branching enzyme I, which is implicated in starch granule formation. In , we also found two putative QTL linked to , , and . Our study provides an insight into the genetic basis of rice grain chalkiness, yield after milling, and head rice, identifying favorable haplotypes and molecular markers for selection in breeding programs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass in various industrial processes, such as the production of biofuels, requires the degradation of hemicellulose. Clostridium stercorarium is a thermophilic bacterium, well known for its outstanding hemicellulose-degrading capability. Its genome comprises about 50 genes for partially still uncharacterised thermostable hemicellulolytic enzymes. These are promising candidates for industrial applications. RESULTS To reveal the hemicellulose-degrading potential of 50 glycoside hydrolases, they were recombinantly produced and characterised. 46 of them were identified in the secretome of C. stercorarium cultivated on cellobiose. Xylanases Xyn11A, Xyn10B, Xyn10C, and cellulase Cel9Z were among the most abundant proteins. The secretome of C. stercorarium was active on xylan, β-glucan, xyloglucan, galactan, and glucomannan. In addition, the recombinant enzymes hydrolysed arabinan, mannan, and galactomannan. 20 enzymes are newly described, degrading xylan, galactan, arabinan, mannan, and aryl-glycosides of β-d-xylose, β-d-glucose, β-d-galactose, α-l-arabinofuranose, α-l-rhamnose, β-d-glucuronic acid, and N-acetyl-β-d-glucosamine. The activities of three enzymes with non-classified glycoside hydrolase (GH) family modules were determined. Xylanase Xyn105F and β-d-xylosidase Bxl31D showed activities not described so far for their GH families. 11 of the 13 polysaccharide-degrading enzymes were most active at pH 5.0 to pH 6.5 and at temperatures of 57-76 °C. Investigation of the substrate and product specificity of arabinoxylan-degrading enzymes revealed that only the GH10 xylanases were able to degrade arabinoxylooligosaccharides. While Xyn10C was inhibited by α-(1,2)-arabinosylations, Xyn10D showed a degradation pattern different to Xyn10B and Xyn10C. Xyn11A released longer degradation products than Xyn10B. Both tested arabinose-releasing enzymes, Arf51B and Axh43A, were able to hydrolyse single- as well as double-arabinosylated xylooligosaccharides. CONCLUSIONS The obtained results lead to a better understanding of the hemicellulose-degrading capacity of C. stercorarium and its involved enzyme systems. Despite similar average activities measured by depolymerisation tests, a closer look revealed distinctive differences in the activities and specificities within an enzyme class. This may lead to synergistic effects and influence the enzyme choice for biotechnological applications. The newly characterised glycoside hydrolases can now serve as components of an enzyme platform for industrial applications in order to reconstitute synthetic enzyme systems for complete and optimised degradation of defined polysaccharides and hemicellulose.

Comparison of intestinal bacterial and fungal communities across various xylophagous beetle larvae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). Sci Rep 2018; 8:10073.

Abstract
The microbial gut communities associated with various xylophagous beetles offer great potential for different biotechnologies and elaboration of novel pest management strategies. In this research, the intestinal bacterial and fungal communities of various cerambycid larvae, including Acmaeops septentrionis, Acanthocinus aedilis, Callidium coriaceum, Trichoferus campestris and Chlorophorus herbstii, were investigated. The intestinal microbial communities of these Cerambycidae species were mostly represented by members of the bacterial phyla Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria and the fungal phylum Ascomycota. However, the bacterial and fungal communities varied by beetle species and between individual organisms. Furthermore, bacterial communities' metagenomes reconstruction indicated the genes that encode enzymes involved in the lignocellulose degradation (such as peroxidases, alpha-L-fucosidases, beta-xylosidases, beta-mannosidases, endoglucanases, beta-glucosidases and others) and nitrogen fixation (nitrogenases). Most of the predicted genes potentially related to lignocellulose degradation were enriched in the T. campestris, A. aedilis and A. septentrionis larval gut consortia, whereas predicted genes affiliated with the nitrogenase component proteins were enriched in the T. campestris, A. septentrionis and C. herbstii larval gut consortia. Several bacteria and fungi detected in the current work could be involved in the nutrition of beetle larvae.
