Abstract
Mannan is a predominant constituent of cork hemicellulose and is widely distributed in various plant tissues. β-Mannanase is the principal mannan-degrading enzyme, which breaks down the β-1,4-linked mannosidic bonds in mannans in an endo-acting manner. Microorganisms are a valuable source of β-mannanase, which exhibits catalytic activity in a wide range of pH and temperature, making it highly versatile and applicable in pharmaceuticals, feed, paper pulping, biorefinery, and other industries. Here, the origin, classification, enzymatic properties, molecular modification, immobilization, and practical applications of microbial β-mannanases are reviewed, the future research directions for microbial β-mannanases are also outlined.

Abstract
Hemicellulases are enzymes that hydrolyze hemicelluloses, common polysaccharides in nature. Thermophilic hemicellulases, derived from microbial strains, are extensively studied as natural biofuel sources due to the complex structure of hemicelluloses. Recent research aims to elucidate the catalytic principles, mechanisms and specificity of hemicellulases through investigations into their high-temperature stability and structural features, which have applications in biotechnology and industry. This review article targets to serve as a comprehensive resource, highlighting the significant progress in the field and emphasizing the vital role of thermophilic hemicellulases in eco-friendly catalysis. The primary goal is to improve the reliability of hemicellulase enzymes obtained from thermophilic bacterial strains. Additionally, with their ability to break down lignocellulosic materials, hemicellulases hold immense potential for biofuel production. Despite their potential, the commercial viability is hindered by their high enzyme costs, necessitating the development of efficient bioprocesses involving waste pretreatment with microbial consortia to overcome this challenge.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2024; 15:1352105.

Abstract
Introduction Flax (Linum usitatissimum) is a crop producing valuable products like seeds and fiber. However, its cultivation faces challenges from environmental stress factors and significant yield losses due to fungal infections. The major threat is Fusarium oxysporum f.sp lini, causing fusarium wilt of flax. Interestingly, within the Fusarium family, there are non-pathogenic strains known as biocontrols, which protect plants from infections caused by pathogenic strains. When exposed to a non-pathogenic strain, flax exhibits defense responses similar to those seen during pathogenic infections. This sensitization process activates immune reactions, preparing the plant to better combat potential pathogenic strains. The plant cell wall is crucial for defending against pathogens. It serves as the primary barrier, blocking pathogen entry into plant cells. Methods The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of treating flax with a non-pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum strain, focusing on cell wall remodeling. The infection's progress was monitored by determining the fungal DNA content and microscopic observation. The plant defense response was confirmed by an increase in the level of Pathogenesis-Related (PR) genes transcripts. The reorganization of flax cell wall during non-pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum strain infection was examined using Infrared spectroscopy (IR), determination of cell wall polymer content, and analysis of mRNA level of genes involved in their metabolism. Results and discussion IR analysis revealed reduced cellulose content in flax seedlings after treatment with Fo47 and that the cellulose chains were shorter and more loosely bound. Hemicellulose content was also reduced but only after 12h and 36h. The total pectin content remained unchanged, while the relative share of simple sugars and uronic acids in the pectin fractions changed over time. In addition, a dynamic change in the level of methylesterification of carboxyl groups of pectin was observed in flax seedlings treated with Fo47 compared to untreated seedlings. The increase in lignin content was observed only 48 hours after the treatment with non-pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum. Analysis of mRNA levels of cell wall polymer metabolism genes showed significant changes over time in all analyzed genes. In conclusion, the research suggests that the rearrangement of the cell wall is likely one of the mechanisms behind flax sensitization by the non-pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum strain. Understanding these processes could help in developing strategies to enhance flax's resistance to fusarium wilt and improve its overall yield and quality.

Komagataella phaffii as a Platform for Heterologous Expression of Enzymes Used for Industry. Microorganisms 2024; 12:346. [PMID: 38399750 PMCID: PMC10892927 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12020346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
In the 1980s, Escherichia coli was the preferred host for heterologous protein expression owing to its capacity for rapid growth in complex media; well-studied genetics; rapid and direct transformation with foreign DNA; and easily scalable fermentation. Despite the relative ease of use of E. coli for achieving the high expression of many recombinant proteins, for some proteins, e.g., membrane proteins or proteins of eukaryotic origin, this approach can be rather ineffective. Another microorganism long-used and popular as an expression system is baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In spite of a number of obvious advantages of these yeasts as host cells, there are some limitations on their use as expression systems, for example, inefficient secretion, misfolding, hyperglycosylation, and aberrant proteolytic processing of proteins. Over the past decade, nontraditional yeast species have been adapted to the role of alternative hosts for the production of recombinant proteins, e.g., Komagataella phaffii, Yarrowia lipolytica, and Schizosaccharomyces pombe. These yeast species' several physiological characteristics (that are different from those of S. cerevisiae), such as faster growth on cheap carbon sources and higher secretion capacity, make them practical alternative hosts for biotechnological purposes. Currently, the K. phaffii-based expression system is one of the most popular for the production of heterologous proteins. Along with the low secretion of endogenous proteins, K. phaffii efficiently produces and secretes heterologous proteins in high yields, thereby reducing the cost of purifying the latter. This review will discuss practical approaches and technological solutions for the efficient expression of recombinant proteins in K. phaffii, mainly based on the example of enzymes used for the feed industry.

Microbiol Res 2024; 279:127552.

Abstract
Histone proteins are important components of nucleosomes, which play an important role in regulating the accessibility of DNA and the function of genomes. However, the effect of histone proteins dosages on physiological processes is not clear in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans. In this study, we found that the deletion of the histone protein H3 coding gene HHT21 and the histone protein H4 coding gene HHF1 resulted in a significant decrease in the expression dosage of the histone proteins H3 and H4, which had a significant impact on the localization of the histone protein H2A and plasmid maintenance. Stress sensitivity experiments showed that the mutants hht21Δ/Δ, hhf1Δ/Δ and hht21Δ/Δhhf1Δ/Δ were more sensitive to cell wall stress induced by Calcofluor White (CFW) than the wild-type strain. Further studies showed that the decrease in the dosage of the histone proteins H3 and H4 led to the change of cell wall components, increased chitin contents, and down-regulated expression of the SAP9, KAR2, and CRH11 genes involved in the cell wall integrity (CWI) pathway. Overexpression of SAP9 could rescue the sensitivity of the mutants to CFW. Moreover, the decrease in the histone protein s dosages affected the FAD-catalyzed oxidation of Ero1 protein, resulting in the obstruction of protein folding in the ER, and thus reduced resistance to CFW. It was also found that CFW induced a large amount of ROS accumulation in the mutants, and the addition of ROS scavengers could restore the growth of the mutants under CFW treatment. In addition, the reduction of the histone proteins dosages greatly weakened systemic infection and kidney fungal burden in mice, and hyphal development was significantly impaired in the mutants under macrophage treatment, indicating that the histone proteins dosages is very important for the virulence of C. albicans. This study revealed that histone proteins dosages play a key role in the cell wall stress response and pathogenicity in C. albicans.

Abstract
Agriculture products form the foundation building blocks of our daily lives. Although they have been claimed to be renewable resources with a low carbon footprint, the agricultural community is constantly challenged to overcome two post-harvest bottlenecks: first, farm bio-waste, a substantial economic and environmental burden to the farming sector, and second, an inefficient agricultural processing sector, plagued by the need for significant energy input to generate the products. Both these sectors require extensive processing technologies that are demanding in their energy requirements and expensive. To address these issues, an enzyme(s)-based green chemistry is available to break down complex structures into bio-degradable compounds that source alternate energy with valuable by-products and co-products. α-Galactosidase is a widespread class of glycoside hydroxylases that hydrolyzes α-galactosyl moieties in simple and complex oligo and polysaccharides, glycolipids, and glycoproteins. As a result of its growing importance, in this review we discuss the source of the enzyme, production and purification systems, and enzyme properties. We also elaborate on the enzyme's potential in agricultural bio-waste management, secondary agricultural industries like sugar refining, soymilk derivatives, food and confectionery, and animal feed processing. Insight into this vital enzyme will provide new avenues for less expensive green chemistry-based secondary agricultural processing and agricultural sustainability. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Linear β-manno-oligosaccharides (l-β-MOS) are widely used to investigate oligo- and poly-saccharide structures and mannanolytic enzyme activities. l-β-MOS are also being used as prebiotic agents with potential bio-active properties. In this study, we developed an efficient protocol to prepare a series of l-β-MOS by hydrolyzing cassia gum (CG) using mannanolytic enzymes (endo-1,4-β-mannanase, α-galactosidases and β-glucosidases). By using medium pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC), we purified l-β-MOS with different degrees of polymerization (DPs). HPAEC-PAD, MALDI-TOF-MS and NMR studies confirmed that these l-β-MOS species ranged from 1,4-β-d-mannobiose to 1,4-β-d-mannononaose (DP 2-9) with >95% purity. Our results provide a robust approach to preparing l-β-MOS, thus enabling l-β-MOS to be further used in the fields of chemistry, life science, and nutritional food.

Abstract
Plant cell walls are composed of a heterogeneous mixture of polysaccharides that require several different enzymes to degrade. These enzymes are important for a variety of biotechnological processes, from biofuel production to food processing. Several classical mannanolytic enzyme functions of glycoside hydrolases (GH), such as β-mannanase, β-mannosidase and α-galactosidase activities, are helpful for efficient mannan hydrolysis. In this light, we bring three enzymes into the model of mannan degradation that have received little or no attention. By linking their three-dimensional structures and substrate specificities, we have predicted the interactions and cooperativity of these novel enzymes with classical mannanolytic enzymes for efficient mannan hydrolysis. The novel exo-β-1,4-mannobiohydrolases are indispensable for the production of mannobiose from the terminal ends of mannans, this product being the preferred product for short-chain mannooligosaccharides (MOS)-specific β-mannosidases. Second, the side-chain cleaving enzymes, acetyl mannan esterases (AcME), remove acetyl decorations on mannan that would have hindered backbone cleaving enzymes, while the backbone cleaving enzymes liberate MOS, which are preferred substrates of the debranching and sidechain cleaving enzymes. The nonhydrolytic expansins and swollenins disrupt the crystalline regions of the biomass, improving their accessibility for AcME and GH activities. Finally, lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases have also been implicated in promoting the degradation of lignocellulosic biomass or mannan degradation by classical mannanolytic enzymes, possibly by disrupting adsorbed mannan residues. Modelling effective enzymatic mannan degradation has implications for improving the saccharification of biomass for the synthesis of value-added and upcycling of lignocellulosic wastes.

Abstract
An acid stable α-galactosidase was produced and purified from mannolytic fungal strain, Penicillium aculeatum APS1. Enzyme was produced using wheat bran and copra cake moistened with corn steep liquor by solid state fermentation. APS1αgal having molecular weight of 65.4 kDa was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by three phase partitioning and gel permeation chromatography with high enzyme recovery. APS1αgal was found to be maximally active at 55 °C and pH 4.5, having high stability at acidic pH. Thermal stability and thermal inactivation kinetics of APS1αgal were also studied. APS1αgal was found to effectively hydrolyse oligosaccharides as well as polysaccharides having α-1,6 linked galactose. Abolishment of enzyme activity in N-brommosuccinimide revealed an important role of tryptophan residue in catalysis. APS1αgal had shown outstanding tolerance to NaCl and proteases. MALDI-TOF MS/MS analysis indicated that enzyme is probably a member of family GH27. Synergistic interaction between APS1αgal and β-mannanase for hydrolysis of galactomannan was very clear and maximum 2.0° of synergy was found under simultaneous mode of action. This study reports a new source of α-galactosidase with biochemical properties suitable for applications in food and feed industries.

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant source of carbon-based material on a global basis, serving as a raw material for cellulosic fibers, hemicellulosic polymers, platform sugars, and lignin resins or monomers. In nature, the various components of lignocellulose (primarily cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) are decomposed by saprophytic fungi and bacteria utilizing specialized enzymes. Enzymes are specific catalysts and can, in many cases, be produced on-site at lignocellulose biorefineries. In addition to reducing the use of often less environmentally friendly chemical processes, the application of such enzymes in lignocellulose processing to obtain a range of specialty products can maximize the use of the feedstock and valorize many of the traditionally underutilized components of lignocellulose, while increasing the economic viability of the biorefinery. While cellulose has a rich history of use in the pulp and paper industries, the hemicellulosic fraction of lignocellulose remains relatively underutilized in modern biorefineries, among other reasons due to the heterogeneous chemical structure of hemicellulose polysaccharides, the composition of which varies significantly according to the feedstock and the choice of pretreatment method and extraction solvent. This paper reviews the potential of hemicellulose in lignocellulose processing with focus on what can be achieved using enzymatic means. In particular, we discuss the various enzyme activities required for complete depolymerization of the primary hemicellulose types found in plant cell walls and for the upgrading of hemicellulosic polymers, oligosaccharides, and pentose sugars derived from hemicellulose depolymerization into a broad spectrum of value-added products.

Abstract
Plant mannans are a component of lignocellulose that can have diverse compositions in terms of its backbone and side-chain substitutions. Consequently, the degradation of mannan substrates requires a cadre of enzymes for complete reduction to substituent monosaccharides that can include mannose, galactose, and/or glucose. One bacterium that possesses this suite of enzymes is the Gram-negative saprophyte Cellvibrio japonicus, which has 10 predicted mannanases from the Glycoside Hydrolase (GH) families 5, 26, and 27. Here we describe a systems biology approach to identify and characterize the essential mannan-degrading components in this bacterium. The transcriptomic analysis uncovered significant changes in gene expression for most mannanases, as well as many genes that encode carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) when mannan was actively being degraded. A comprehensive mutational analysis characterized 54 CAZyme-encoding genes in the context of mannan utilization. Growth analysis of the mutant strains found that the man26C, aga27A, and man5D genes, which encode a mannobiohydrolase, α-galactosidase, and mannosidase, respectively, were important for the deconstruction of galactomannan, with Aga27A being essential. Our updated model of mannan degradation in C. japonicus proposes that the removal of galactose sidechains from substituted mannans constitutes a crucial step for the complete degradation of this hemicellulose.

Abstract
The steep increase in nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections makes understanding their unique physiology an urgent health priority. NTM synthesize two polysaccharides proposed to modulate fatty acid metabolism: the ubiquitous 6-O-methylglucose lipopolysaccharide, and the 3-O-methylmannose polysaccharide (MMP) so far detected in rapidly growing mycobacteria. The recent identification of a unique MMP methyltransferase implicated the adjacent genes in MMP biosynthesis. We report a wide distribution of this gene cluster in NTM, including slowly growing mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium avium, which we reveal to produce MMP. Using a combination of MMP purification and chemoenzymatic syntheses of intermediates, we identified the biosynthetic mechanism of MMP, relying on two enzymes that we characterized biochemically and structurally: a previously undescribed α-endomannosidase that hydrolyses MMP into defined-sized mannoligosaccharides that prime the elongation of new daughter MMP chains by a rare α-(1→4)-mannosyltransferase. Therefore, MMP biogenesis occurs through a partially conservative replication mechanism, whose disruption affected mycobacterial growth rate at low temperature.

Abstract
Bacillus, an excellent organic-degrading agent, can degrade lignocellulose. Notably, some B. velezensis strains encode lignocellulases. However, their ability to degrade lignocellulose in fermented feed is not much appreciated. This study performed a comparative genomic analysis of twenty-three B. velezensis strains to find common carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) encoding genes and evaluated their potential to degrade lignocellulose. The comparative genomic and CAZyme database-based analyses identified several potential CAZymes genes that degrade cellulose (GH1, GH4, GH5, GH13, GH16, GH32, PL1, and PL9), hemicellulose (GH11, GH26, GH43, GH51, and CE3) and lignin (AA4, AA6, AA7, and AA10). Furthermore, Illumina RNA-seq transcriptome analysis revealed the expression of more than 1794 genes in B. velezensis CL-4 fermented corn germ meal at 48 h (FCGM 48 h). Gene ontology analysis of expressed genes revealed their enrichment in hydrolase activity (breaking the glycosyl bonds during carbohydrate metabolism), indicating the upregulation of CAZymes. In total, 58 differentially upregulated CAZymes-encoding genes were identified in FCGM 48 h compared to FCGM 0 h. The upregulated CAZymes-encoding genes were related to cellulose (6-phospho-β-galactosidase and 6-phospho-α-glucosidase), starch (α-glucosidase and α-amylase), pectin (pectin lyase), and hemicellulose (arabinan endo-1,5-α-L-arabinosidase, xylan 1,4-beta-xylosidase, α-N-arabinofuranosidase, and acetyl xylan esterase). Importantly, arabinoxylan degradation mainly occurred in FCGM 48 h, followed by partial degradation of cellulose, pectin, and starch. This study can support the development of enzymatic cocktails for the solid-state fermented feed (SFF).

Abstract
Introduction β-Mannanase is a plant cell wall remodeling enzyme involved in the breakdown of hemicellulose and plays an important role in growth by hydrolyzing the mannan-like polysaccharide, but its function in adaptation to salt stress has been less studied. Methods Based on cloned the mannanase (MAN) gene from Mirabilis jalapa L., the study was carried out by heterologously expressing the gene in Arabidopsis thaliana, and then observing the plant phenotypes and measuring relevant physiological and biochemical indicators under 150 mM salt treatment. Results and discussion The results indicate that MirMAN is a protein with a glycohydrolase-specific structural domain located in the cell wall. We first found that MirMAN reduced the susceptibility of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana to high salt stress and increased the survival rate of plants by 38%. This was corroborated by the following significant changes, including the reduction in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, increase in antioxidant enzyme activity, accumulation of soluble sugars and increase of the expression level of RD29 in transgenic plants. We also found thatthe heterologous expression of MirMAN promoted root growth mainly by elongating the primary roots and increasing the density of lateral roots. Meanwhile, the expression of ARF7, ARF19, LBD16 and LBD29 was up-regulated in the transgenic plants, and the concentration of IAA in the roots was increased. Those results indicate that MirMAN is involved in the initiation of lateral root primordia in transgenic plants through the IAA-ARF signalling pathway. In conclusion, MirMAN improves plant salt tolerance not only by regulating ROS homeostasis, but also by promoting the development of lateral roots. Reflecting the potential of the MirMAN to promote root plastic development in adaptation to salt stress adversity.

Abstract
Robertkochia solimangrovi is a proposed marine bacterium isolated from mangrove soil. So far, the study of this bacterium is limited to taxonomy only. In this report, we performed a genomic analysis of R. solimangrovi that revealed its lignocellulose degrading ability. Genome mining of R. solimangrovi revealed a total of 87 lignocellulose degrading enzymes. These enzymes include cellulases (GH3, GH5, GH9 and GH30), xylanases (GH5, GH10, GH43, GH51, GH67, and GH115), mannanases (GH2, GH26, GH27 and GH113) and xyloglucanases (GH2, GH5, GH16, GH29, GH31 and GH95). Most of the lignocellulolytic enzymes encoded in R. solimangrovi were absent in the genome of Robertkochia marina, the closest member from the same genus. Furthermore, current work also demonstrated the ability of R. solimangrovi to produce lignocellulolytic enzymes to deconstruct oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB), a lignocellulosic waste found abundantly in palm oil industry. The metabolic pathway taken by R. solimangrovi to transport and process the reducing sugars after the action of lignocellulolytic enzymes on EFB was also inferred based on genomic data. Collectively, genomic analysis coupled with experimental studies elucidated R. solimangrovi to serve as a promising candidate in seawater based-biorefinery industry.

Abstract
An important step for plant diversification was the transition from freshwater to terrestrial habitats. The bryophytes and all vascular plants share a common ancestor that was probably the first to adapt to life on land. A polysaccharide-rich cell wall was necessary to cope with newly faced environmental conditions. Therefore, some pre-requisites for terrestrial life have to be shared in the lineages of modern bryophytes and vascular plants. This review focuses on hornwort and liverwort cell walls and aims to provide an overview on shared and divergent polysaccharide features between these two groups of bryophytes and vascular plants. Analytical, immunocytochemical, and bioinformatic data were analysed. The major classes of polysaccharides-cellulose, hemicelluloses, and pectins-seem to be present but have diversified structurally during evolution. Some polysaccharide groups show structural characteristics which separate hornworts from the other bryophytes or are too poorly studied in detail to be able to draw absolute conclusions. Hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein backbones are found in hornworts and liverworts, and show differences in, for example, the occurrence of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored arabinogalactan-proteins, while glycosylation is practically unstudied. Overall, the data are an appeal to researchers in the field to gain more knowledge on cell wall structures in order to understand the changes with regard to bryophyte evolution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Designer cellulosomes are self-assembled chimeric enzyme complexes that can be used to improve lignocellulosic biomass degradation. They are composed of a synthetic multimodular backbone protein, termed the scaffoldin, and a range of different chimeric docking enzymes that degrade polysaccharides. Over the years, several functional designer cellulosomes have been constructed. Since many parameters influence the efficiency of these multi-enzyme complexes, there is a need to optimise designer cellulosome architecture by testing combinatorial arrangements of docking enzyme and scaffoldin variants. However, the modular cloning procedures are tedious and cumbersome. RESULTS VersaTile is a combinatorial DNA assembly method, allowing the rapid construction and thus comparison of a range of modular proteins. Here, we present the extension of the VersaTile platform to facilitate the construction of designer cellulosomes. We have constructed a tile repository, composed of dockerins, cohesins, linkers, tags and enzymatically active modules. The developed toolbox allows us to efficiently create and optimise designer cellulosomes at an unprecedented speed. As a proof of concept, a trivalent designer cellulosome able to degrade the specific hemicellulose substrate, galactomannan, was constructed and optimised. The main factors influencing cellulosome efficiency were found to be the selected dockerins and linkers and the docking enzyme ratio on the scaffoldin. The optimised designer cellulosome was able to hydrolyse the galactomannan polysaccharide and release mannose and galactose monomers. CONCLUSION We have eliminated one of the main technical hurdles in the designer cellulosome field and anticipate the VersaTile platform to be a starting point in the development of more elaborate multi-enzyme complexes.

Abstract
The transglycosylation behavior and capacity of two clan GH-D α-galactosidases, BoGal36A from the gut bacterium Bacteroides ovatus and Aga27A from the guar plant, was investigated and compared. The enzymes were screened for the ability to use para-nitrophenyl-α-galactoside (pNP-Gal), raffinose and locust bean gum (LBG) galactomannan as glycosyl donors with the glycosyl acceptors methanol, propanol, allyl alcohol, propargyl alcohol and glycerol using mass spectrometry. Aga27A was, in general, more stable in the presence of the acceptors. HPLC analysis was developed and used as a second screening method for reactions using raffinose or LBG as a donor substrate with methanol, propanol and glycerol as acceptors. Time-resolved reactions were set up with raffinose and methanol as the donor and acceptor, respectively, in order to develop an insight into the basic transglycosylation properties, including the ratio between the rate of transglycosylation (methyl galactoside synthesis) and rate of hydrolysis. BoGal36A had a somewhat higher ratio (0.99 compared to 0.71 for Aga27A) at early time points but was indicated to be more prone to secondary (product) hydrolysis in prolonged incubations. The methyl galactoside yield was higher when using raffinose (48% for BoGal36A and 38% for Aga27A) compared to LBG (27% for BoGal36A and 30% for Aga27A).

Abstract
Enzymes, also known as biocatalysts, display vital properties like high substrate specificity, an eco-friendly nature, low energy inputs, and cost-effectiveness. Among their numerous known applications, enzymes that can target biofilms or their components are increasingly being investigated for their anti-biofouling action, particularly in healthcare, food manufacturing units and environmental applications. Enzymes can target biofilms at different levels like during the attachment of microorganisms, formation of exopolymeric substances (EPS), and their disruption thereafter. In this regard, a consortium of carbohydrases that can target heterogeneous polysaccharides present in the EPS matrix may provide an effective alternative to conventional chemical anti-biofouling methods. Further, for complete annihilation of biofilms, enzymes can be used alone or in conjunction with other antimicrobial agents. Enzymes hold the promise to replace the conventional methods with greener, more economical, and more efficient alternatives. The present article explores the potential and future perspectives of using carbohydrases as effective anti-biofilm agents.

Abstract
Enzymatic hydrolysis using β-mannanase and α-galactosidase is necessary to produce low molecular weight galactomannan (LMW-GM) from galactomannans (GM) in the leguminous seeds. In this study, different ratios of avicel and melibiose were used as the inductors (carbon sources) for Trichoderma reesei to metabolize the enzyme cocktail containing β-mannanase and α-galactosidase using one-pot fermentation technology. The obtained enzyme cocktail was used to efficiently produce LMW-GM from GM in Sesbania cannabina seeds. Results showed that 15 g/L avicel and 10 g/L melibiose were the best carbon sources to prepare enzyme cocktail containing β-mannanase and α-galactosidase with activities of 3.69 ± 0.27 U/mL and 0.51 ± 0.02 U/mL, respectively. Specifically, melibiose could effectively induce the metabolite product of α-galactosidase by T. reesei, which showed good performance in degrading the galactose substituent from GM backbone. The degradation of galactose alleviated the spatial site-blocking effect for enzymatic hydrolysis by β-mannanase and improved the yield of LMW-GM. This research can lay the foundation for the industrial technology amplification of LMW-GM production for further application.

Reshaping the binding channel of a novel GH113 family β-mannanase from Paenibacillus cineris (PcMan113) for enhanced activity. BIORESOUR BIOPROCESS 2022; 9:17.

Abstract
Endo-β-mannanases are important enzymes for degrading lignocellulosic biomass to generate mannan, which has significant health effects as a prebiotic that promotes the development of gut microbiota. Here, a novel endo-β-mannanase belonging to glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 113 from Paenibacillus cineris (PcMan113) was cloned, expressed and characterized, as one of only a few reported GH113 family β-mannanases. Compared to other functionally and structurally characterized GH113 mannanases, recombinant PcMan113 showed a broader substrate spectrum and a better performance. Based on a structural homology model, the highly active mutant PcMT3 (F110E/N246Y) was obtained, with 4.60- and 5.53-fold increases of enzyme activity (towards KG) and catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km, against M5) compared with the WT enzyme, respectively. Furthermore, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were conducted to precisely explore the differences of catalytic activity between WT and PcMT3, which revealed that PcMT3 has a less flexible conformation, as well as an enlarged substrate-binding channel with decreased steric hindrance and increased binding energy in substrate recognition. In conclusion, we obtained a highly active variant of PcMan113 with potential for commercial application in the manufacture of manno-oligosaccharides.

Li YX, Wang NN, Yan QJ, Hua XH, Liu Y, Jiang ZQ. A novel neutral thermophilic β-mannanase from Malbranchea cinnamomea for controllable production of partially hydrolyzed konjac powder. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 106:1919-1932. [PMID: 35179629 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-022-11832-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Revised: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Partially hydrolyzed konjac powder (PHKP) can be used to increase the daily intake of dietary fibers of consumers. To produce PHKP by enzymatic hydrolysis, a novel β-mannanase gene (McMan5B) from Malbranchea cinnamomea was expressed in Pichia pastoris. It showed a low identity of less than 52% with other GH family 5 β-mannanases. Through high cell density fermentation, the highest β-mannanase activity of 42200 U mL-1 was obtained. McMan5B showed the maximal activity at pH 7.5 and 75 °C, respectively. It exhibited excellent pH stability and thermostability. Due to the different residues (Phe214, Pro253, and His328) in catalytic groove and the change of β2-α2 loop, McMan5B showed unique hydrolysis property as compared to other β-mannanases. The enzyme was employed to hydrolyze konjac powder for controllable production of PHKP with a weight-average molecular weight of 22000 Da (average degree of polymerization 136). Furthermore, the influence of PHKP (1.0%-4.0%) on the qualities of steamed bread was evaluated. The steamed bread adding 3.0% PHKP had the maximum specific volume and the minimum hardness, which showed 11.0% increment and 25.4% decrement as compared to the control, respectively. Thus, a suitable β-mannanase for PHKP controllable production and a fiber supplement for steamed bread preparation were provided in this study. KEY POINTS: • A novel β-mannanase gene (McMan5B) was cloned from Malbranchea cinnamomea and expressed in Pichia pastoris at high level. • McMan5B hydrolyzed konjac powder to yield partially hydrolyzed konjac powder (PHKP) instead of manno-oligosaccharides. • PHKP showed more positive effect on the quality of steamed bread than many other dietary fibers including konjac powder.

Abstract
A halophilic marine bacterial strain, PS-C1, was isolated from Sekinchan beach in Selangor, Malaysia. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain PS-C1 was associated with the genus Celeribacter. To date, there have been no reports on enzymes from the genus Celeribacter. The present study reports on the cellular features of Celeribacter sp. PS-C1, its annotated genome sequence, and comparative genome analyses of Celeribacter glycoside hydrolase (GH) enzymes. The genome of strain PS-C1 has a size of 3.87 Mbp and a G+C content of 59.10%, and contains 3739 protein-coding genes. Detailed analysis using the Carbohydrate-Active enZYmes (CAZy) database revealed that Celeribacter genomes harboured at least 12 putative genes encoding industrially important GHs that are grouped as cellulases, β-glucanases, hemicellulases, and starch-degrading enzymes. Herein, the potential applications of these enzymes are discussed. Furthermore, the activities of two types of GHs (β-glucosidase and licheninase) in strain PS-C1 were demonstrated. These findings suggest that strain PS-C1 could be a reservoir of novel GH enzymes for lignocellulosic biomass degradation.

Unveiling lignocellulolytic trait of a goat omasum inhabitant Klebsiella variicola strain HSTU-AAM51 in light of biochemical and genome analyses. Braz J Microbiol 2022; 53:99-130.

Abstract
Klebsiella variicola is generally known as endophyte as well as lignocellulose-degrading strain. However, their roles in goat omasum along with lignocellulolytic genetic repertoire are not yet explored. In this study, five different pectin-degrading bacteria were isolated from a healthy goat omasum. Among them, a new Klebsiella variicola strain HSTU-AAM51 was identified to degrade lignocellulose. The genome of the HSTU-AAM51 strain comprised 5,564,045 bp with a GC content of 57.2% and 5312 coding sequences. The comparison of housekeeping genes (16S rRNA, TonB, gyrase B, RecA) and whole-genome sequence (ANI, pangenome, synteny, DNA-DNA hybridization) revealed that the strain HSTU-AAM51 was clustered with Klebsiella variicola strains, but the HSTU-AAM51 strain was markedly deviated. It consisted of seventeen cellulases (GH1, GH3, GH4, GH5, GH13), fourteen beta-glucosidase (2GH3, 7GH4, 4GH1), two glucosidase, and one pullulanase genes. The strain secreted cellulase, pectinase, and xylanase, lignin peroxidase approximately 76-78 U/mL and 57-60 U/mL, respectively, when it was cultured on banana pseudostem for 96 h. The catalytically important residues of extracellular cellulase, xylanase, mannanase, pectinase, chitinase, and tannase proteins (validated 3D model) were bound to their specific ligands. Besides, genes involved in the benzoate and phenylacetate catabolic pathways as well as laccase and DiP-type peroxidase were annotated, which indicated the strain lignin-degrading potentiality. This study revealed a new K. variicola bacterium from goat omasum which harbored lignin and cellulolytic enzymes that could be utilized for the production of bioethanol from lignocelluloses.

[PMID: 35782739 PMCID: PMC9232400 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2022.06.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2022] [Revised: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
BtMan2A preferred short manno-oligomers, while CmMan5A preferred longer ones; DP >2. BtMan2A displayed stronger irreversible binding to galactomannan than CmMan5A. BtMan2A binding to galactomannan did not affect its activity, while CmMan5A lost activity. BtMan2A binding was pH-dependent, with increased binding ability at lower pH. CmMan5A synergised with CcManA, while BtMan2A did not – even though the enzyme was active. High loadings of BtMan2A abolished CcManA activity; at protein ratios ≥ 5:1.
Both β-mannanases and β-mannosidases are required for mannan-backbone degradation into mannose. In this study, two β-mannosidases of glycoside hydrolase (GH) families 2 (BtMan2A) and 5 (CmMan5A) were evaluated for their substrate specificities and galactomannan binding ability. BtMan2A preferred short manno-oligomers, while CmMan5A preferred longer ones; DP >2, and galactomannans. BtMan2A displayed irreversible galactomannan binding, which was pH-dependent, with higher binding observed at low pH, while CmMan5A had limited binding. Docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations showed that BtMan2A galactomannan binding was stronger under acidic conditions (-8.4 kcal/mol) than in a neutral environment (-7.6 kcal/mol), and the galactomannan ligand was more unstable under neutral conditions than acidic conditions. Qualitative surface plasmon resonance (SPR) experimentally confirmed the reduced binding capacity of BtMan2A at pH 7. Finally, synergistic β-mannanase to β-mannosidase (BtMan2A or CmMan5A) ratios required for maximal galactomannan hydrolysis were determined. All CcManA to CmMan5A combinations were synergistic (≈1.2-fold), while combinations of CcManA with BtMan2A (≈1.0-fold) yielded no hydrolysis improvement. In conclusion, the low specific activity of BtMan2A towards long and galactose-containing oligomers and its non-catalytic galactomannan binding ability led to no synergy with the mannanase, making GH2 mannosidases ineffective for use in cocktails for mannan degradation.

Abstract
Galactomannans, abundantly present in plant biomass, can be used as renewable fermentation feedstock for biorefineries working for the production of bioethanol and other value-added products. The complete and efficient bioconversion of biomass to fermentable sugars for the generation of biofuels and other value-added products require the concerted action of accessory enzymes like α-galactosidases, which can work in cohesion with other carbohydrases in an enzyme cocktail. In the paper industry, α-galactosidases enhance the bleaching effect of endo-β-1,4-mannanases on softwood kraft pulp. Microbial α-galactosidases also find applications in the treatment of legume foods, recovery of sucrose from sugar beet syrup, improving the rheological properties of galactomannans, and synthesis of α-galactooligosaccharides to be used as functional food ingredients. Owing to their industrial applications, there is a surge in the research focused on α-galactosidases. The current review illustrates the diverse industrial applications of microbial α-galactosidases and their challenges and prospects.

Abstract
In this study, a GH26 endo-mannanase (Man26A) from an Aspergillus niger ATCC 10864 strain, with a molecular mass of 47.8 kDa, was cloned in a yBBH1 vector and expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y294 strain cells. Upon fractionation by ultra-filtration, the substrate specificity and substrate degradation pattern of the endo-mannanase (Man26A) were investigated using ivory nut linear mannan and two galactomannan substrates with varying amounts of galactosyl substitutions, guar gum and locust bean gum. Man26A exhibited substrate specificity in the order: locust bean gum ≥ ivory nut mannan > guar gum; however, the enzyme generated more manno-oligosaccharides (MOS) from the galactomannans than from linear mannan during extended periods of mannan hydrolysis. MOS with a DP of 2-4 were the major products from mannan substrate hydrolysis, while guar gum also generated higher DP length MOS. All the Man26A generated MOS significantly improved the growth (approximately 3-fold) of the probiotic bacterial strains Streptococcus thermophilus and Bacillus subtilis in M9 minimal medium. Ivory nut mannan and locust bean gum derived MOS did not influence the auto-aggregation ability of the bacteria, while the guar gum derived MOS led to a 50 % reduction in bacterial auto-aggregation. On the other hand, all the MOS significantly improved bacterial biofilm formation (approximately 3-fold). This study suggests that the prebiotic characteristics exhibited by MOS may be dependent on their primary structure, i.e. galactose substitution and DP. Furthermore, the data suggests that the enzyme-generated MOS may be useful as potent additives to dietary foods.

Abstract
β-Mannanases hydrolyze lignocellulosic biomass with the release of mannan oligosaccharides, which are considered as renewable resource in higher plants. Here, we cloned, expressed and characterized a novel endo-β-mannanase (ManAC) from Aspergillus calidoustus. Homology alignment analysis indicated that ManAC belonged to glycosyl hydrolase (GH) 5 family members. The analysis of structural homologous model revealed that five residues, Arg116, Asn231, His305, Tyr307, and Trp370, constituted the active site of ManAC. Glu232 and Glu340, proton donor and nucleophile, formed the catalytic residues of ManAC. The recombinant ManAC exhibited maximal activity at pH 2.5 and 70 °C, and it was acid tolerant at a pH range of 2.0-6.0 and thermostable under 60 °C. Meanwhile, the activity of ManAC was not significantly affected by various metal ions, except for Mg2+ and Ag2+. The recombinant ManAC exhibited the highest β-mannanase activity towards locust bean gum (669.7 U/mg) with the Km and Vmax values of 3.4 mg/mL and 982.4 μmol/min/mg, respectively. These thermophilic and acidophilicc characteristics is better than most extreme β-mannanase. As the first reported mannanse from Aspergillus calidoustus (ManAC), these excellent properties of ManAC strongly promote the synthesis of mannooligosaccharides which have potential for food and feed industrial applications.

Abstract
A growing demand in novel food products for well-being and preventative medicine has attracted global attention on nutraceutical prebiotics. Various plant agro-processes produce large amounts of residual biomass considered "wastes", which can potentially be used to produce nutraceutical prebiotics, such as manno-oligosaccharides (MOS). MOS can be produced from the degradation of mannan. Mannan has a main backbone consisting of β-1,4-linked mannose residues (which may be interspersed by glucose residues) with galactose substituents. Endo-β-1,4-mannanases cleave the mannan backbone at cleavage sites determined by the substitution pattern and thus give rise to different MOS products. These MOS products serve as prebiotics to stimulate various types of intestinal bacteria and cause them to produce fermentation products in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract which benefit the host. This article reviews recent advances in understanding the exploitation of plant residual biomass via the enzymatic production and characterization of MOS, and the influence of MOS on beneficial gut microbiota and their biological effects (i.e., immune modulation and lipidemic effects) as observed on human and animal health.

Abstract
In this study, we isolated and identified a thermophilic strain of Aspergillus fumigatus from the “Daqu” samples. Transcriptomic analysis of A. fumigatus identified 239 carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZy)-encoding genes, including 167 glycoside hydrolase (GH)-encoding genes, 58 glycosyltransferase (GT)-encoding genes, 2 polysaccharide lyase (PLs)-encoding genes and 12 carbohydrate esterase (CEs)-encoding genes, which indicates that the strain has a strong potential for application for enzyme production. Furthermore, we also identified a novel endoglucanase gene (AfCel5A), which was expressed in Pichia pastoris and characterized. The novel endoglucanase AfCel5A exhibited the highest hydrolytic activity against CMC-Na and the optimal activity at 80 °C and pH 4.0 and also showed good stability at pH 3.0–11.0 and below 70 °C. The Km and Vmax values of AfCel5 were 0.16 ± 0.05 mg·mL−1 and 7.23 ± 0.33 mol mg−1·min−1, respectively, using CMC-Na as a substrate. Further, the endoglucanase exhibited a high tolerance toward NaCl as well as glucose. In addition, the finding that the endoglucanase AfCel5A in combination with β-mannanse (ManBK) clearly increased the release of total reducing sugars of glucomannan by up to 74% is significant.

β-(1→4)-Mannobiose Acts as an Immunostimulatory Molecule in Murine Dendritic Cells by Binding the TLR4/MD-2 Complex. Cells 2021; 10:cells10071774.

Abstract
Some β-mannans, including those in coffee bean and soy, contain a mannose backbone with β-(1→4) bonds. Such mannooligosaccharides could have immunological functions involving direct interaction with immune cells, in addition to acting as prebiotics. This study aimed at assessing the immunological function of mannooligosaccharides with β-(1→4) bond, and elucidating their mechanism of action using bone marrow-derived murine dendritic cells (BMDCs). When BMDCs were stimulated with the mannooligosaccharides, only β-Man-(1→4)-Man significantly induced production of cytokines that included IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, and IFN-β, and enhanced CD4+ T-cell stimulatory capacity. Use of putative receptor inhibitors revealed the binding of β-Man-(1→4)-Man to TLR4/MD2 complex and involvement with the complement C3a receptor (C3aR) for BMDC activation. Interestingly, β-Man-(1→4)-Man prolonged the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α), but not of the IL-10 anti-inflammatory cytokine during extended culture of BMDCs, associated with high glucose consumption. The results suggest that β-Man-(1→4)-Man is an immunostimulatory molecule, and that the promotion of glycolysis could be involved in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokine in β-Man-(1→4)-Man-stimulated BMDCs. This study could contribute to development of immune-boosting functional foods and a novel vaccine adjuvant.

Abstract
To further extend the practical application of a thermostable and acidic resistance β-mannanase (ManAK) in animal feed additives, an effective strategy that combined directed evolution and metabolic engineering was developed. Four positive mutants (P191M, P194E, S199G and S268Q) with enhanced specific activity (25.5%-60.9%) were obtained. The S199G mutant exhibited 56.7% enhancement of specific activity at 37°C and good thermostability, and this was selected for high-level expression in P. pastoris X33. A multi-functional and scarless genetic manipulation system was proposed and functionally verified (gene deletion, substitution/insertion and point mutation). This was then subjected to Rox1p (an oxygen related transcription regulator) deletion and Vitreoscilla haemoglobin (VHb) co-expression for high enzyme productivity in P. pastoris X33VIIManAKS199G . An excellent strain, named X33VIIManAKS199G ∆rox1::VHb, was achieved by combining these two factors, and then the maximum enzymatic activity was further increased to 3753 U ml-1 , which was nearly twice as much as the maximum production of ManAK in P. pastoris. This work provides a systematic and effective method to improve the enzymatic yield of β-mannanase, promotes the application of ManAK in feed additives, and also demonstrated that a scarless genetic manipulation tool is useful in P. pastoris.

[PMID: 34195602 PMCID: PMC8233224 DOI: 10.1016/j.yjsbx.2021.100048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2021] [Revised: 05/10/2021] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
First structure of a glycoside hydrolase from a bacterial symbiont isolated from the digestive tract of the notorious termite pest Reticulitermes flavipes. First example of a GH5 glycoside hydrolase that features a GH42-type homotrimeric structure. High exo-type specificity for the terminal ®-1,4-mannosidic linkages in mannooligosaccharides and unsubstituted®-mannans. Verrucomicrobial gut symbiont with high potential for hemicellulose degradation.
The termite Reticulitermes flavipes causes extensive damage due to the high efficiency and broad specificity of the ligno- and hemicellulolytic enzyme systems produced by its symbionts. Thus, the R. flavipes gut microbiome is expected to constitute an excellent source of enzymes that can be used for the degradation and valorization of plant biomass. The symbiont Opitutaceae bacterium strain TAV5 belongs to the phylum Verrucomicrobia and thrives in the hindgut of R. flavipes. The sequence of the gene with the locus tag opit5_10225 in the Opitutaceae bacterium strain TAV5 genome has been classified as a member of glycoside hydrolase family 5 (GH5), and provisionally annotated as an endo-β-mannanase. We characterized biochemically and structurally the opit5_10225 gene product, and show that the enzyme, Op5Man5, is an exo-β-1,4-mannosidase [EC 3.2.1.25] that is highly specific for β-1,4-mannosidic bonds in mannooligosaccharides and ivory nut mannan. The structure of Op5Man5 was phased using electron cryo-microscopy and further determined and refined at 2.2 Å resolution using X-ray crystallography. Op5Man5 features a 200-kDa large homotrimer composed of three modular monomers. Despite insignificant sequence similarity, the structure of the monomer, and homotrimeric assembly are similar to that of the GH42-family β-galactosidases and the GH164-family exo-β-1,4-mannosidase Bs164 from Bacteroides salyersiae. To the best of our knowledge Op5Man5 is the first structure of a glycoside hydrolase from a bacterial symbiont isolated from the R. flavipes digestive tract, as well as the first example of a GH5 glycoside hydrolase with a GH42 β-galactosidase-type homotrimeric structure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wood-decay basidiomycetes are effective for the degradation of highly lignified and recalcitrant plant substrates. The degradation of lignocellulosic materials by brown-rot strains is carried out by carbohydrate-active enzymes and non-enzymatic Fenton mechanism. Differences in the lignocellulose catabolism among closely related brown rots are not completely understood. Here, a multi-omics approach provided a global understanding of the strategies employed by L. sulphureus ATCC 52600 for lignocellulose degradation. RESULTS The genome of Laetiporus sulphureus ATCC 52600 was sequenced and phylogenomic analysis supported monophyletic clades for the Order Polyporales and classification of this species within the family Laetiporaceae. Additionally, the plasticity of its metabolism was revealed in growth analysis on mono- and disaccharides, and polysaccharides such as cellulose, hemicelluloses, and polygalacturonic acid. The response of this fungus to the presence of lignocellulosic substrates was analyzed by transcriptomics and proteomics and evidenced the occurrence of an integrated oxidative-hydrolytic metabolism. The transcriptomic profile in response to a short cultivation period on sugarcane bagasse revealed 125 upregulated transcripts, which included CAZymes (redox enzymes and hemicellulases) as well as non-CAZy redox enzymes and genes related to the synthesis of low-molecular-weight compounds. The exoproteome produced in response to extended cultivation time on Avicel, and steam-exploded sugarcane bagasse, sugarcane straw, and Eucalyptus revealed 112 proteins. Contrasting with the mainly oxidative profile observed in the transcriptome, the secretomes showed a diverse hydrolytic repertoire including constitutive cellulases and hemicellulases, in addition to 19 upregulated CAZymes. The secretome induced for 7 days on sugarcane bagasse, representative of the late response, was applied in the saccharification of hydrothermally pretreated grass (sugarcane straw) and softwood (pine) by supplementing a commercial cocktail. CONCLUSION This study shows the singularity of L. sulphureus ATCC 52600 compared to other Polyporales brown rots, regarding the presence of cellobiohydrolase and peroxidase class II. The multi-omics analysis reinforces the oxidative-hydrolytic metabolism involved in lignocellulose deconstruction, providing insights into the overall mechanisms as well as specific proteins of each step.

Abstract
After being isolated from a sugarcane pile, the bacterium Chitinophaga sp. CB10 demonstrated to be a rich source of carbohydrases, with 350 predicted CAZyme domains. CB10 was able to grow on carbohydrates of different structural complexities: glucose, carboxymethylcellulose, corn starch, galactomannan, Aloe vera gum and sugarcane bagasse. The sugarcane bagasse is a rich source of complex polymers, and the diversity of metabolites released by its enzymatic hydrolysis has an important role for green chemistry, including minority pathways such as the degradation of mannan conjugates. In this sense, CB10 demonstrated considerable levels of gene expression for mannanases, and was stable for a period of 96-144 hours in the presence of sugarcane bagasse as sole carbon source. The bacterium showed respectively 4.8x and 5.6x expression levels for two genes predicted for GH2 β-mannosidase: one located within a gene cluster identified as "polysaccharide utilization loci" (PUL), and another a classic β-mannosidase. These enzymes shared less than 45% of identity with enzymes characterized from the genus Chitinophaga belonging to the phylum Bacteroidetes. The degree of novelty-as demonstrated by the low identity with previously characterized enzymes; the remarkable capability to grow in different substrates; mannanase activity, evidenced by the release of residual oligosaccharides in the cultivation with galactomannan (HPLC-RID, 12.3 mMol); associated to the ability of mannanases expression in a low concentration of inductor conditions (sugarcane bagasse, 0.2%) indicate the high potential for the application of CB10 as a source of enzymes in the production of oligosaccharides from biomass. This capacity might prove to be very valuable for the biorefinery process of pre-biotic precursors and other functional oligosaccharides focused on the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
The term hemicellulose groups different polysaccharides with heterogeneous structures, mannans, xyloglucans, mixed-linkage β-glucans and xylans, which differ in their backbone and branches, and in the type and distribution of glycosidic linkages. The enzymatic degradation of these complex polymers requires the concerted action of multiple hemicellulases and auxiliary enzymes. Most commercial enzymes are produced by Trichoderma and Aspergillus species, but recent studies have disclosed Penicillium and Talaromyces as promising sources of hemicellulases. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the hemicellulolytic system of these genera, and the role of hemicellulases in the disruption and synthesis of glycosidic bonds. In both cases, the enzymes from Penicillium and Talaromyces represent an interesting alternative for valorization of lignocellulosic biomass in the current framework of circular economy.

Abstract
Aspergillus fumigatus HBFH5 is a thermophilic fungus which can efficiently degrade lignocellulose and which produces a variety of glycoside hydrolase. In the present study, a novel β-mannanase gene (AfMan5A) was expressed in Pichia pastoris and characterized. AfMan5A is composed of 373 amino acids residues, and has a calculated molecular weight of 40 kDa. It has been observed that the amino acid sequence of AfMan5A showed 74.4% homology with the ManBK from Aspergillus niger. In addition, the recombined AfMan5A exhibited optimal hydrolytic activity at 60 °C and pH 6.0. It had no activity loss after incubation for 1h at 60 °C, while 65% of the initial activity was observed after 1 h at 70 °C. Additionally, it maintained about 80% of its activity in the pH range from 3.0 to 9.0. When carob bean gum was used as the substrate, the Km and Vmax values of AfMan5A were 0.21 ± 0.05 mg·mL−1 and 15.22 ± 0.33 U mg−1·min−1, respectively. AfMan5A and AfSwol showed a strong synergistic interaction on galactomannan degradation, increasing the reduction of the sugars by up to 31%. Therefore, these findings contribute to new strategies for improving the hydrolysis of galactomannan using the enzyme cocktail.

Abstract
Mannanases catalyze the cleavage of β-1,4-mannosidic linkages in mannans and have various applications in different biotechnological industries. In this study, a new β-mannanase from Verrucomicrobiae DG1235 (ManDG1235) was biochemically characterized and its enzymatic properties were revealed. Amino acid alignment indicated that ManDG1235 belonged to glycoside hydrolase family 26 and shared a low amino acid sequence identity to reported β-mannanases (up to 50% for CjMan26C from Cellvibrio japonicus). ManDG1235 was expressed in Escherichia coli. Purified ManDG1235 (rManDG1235) exhibited the typical properties of cold-active enzymes, including high activity at low temperature (optimal at 20 °C) and thermal instability. The maximum activity of rManDG1235 was achieved at pH 8, suggesting that it is a mildly alkaline β-mannanase. rManDG1235 was able to hydrolyze a variety of mannan substrates and was active toward certain types of glucans. A structural model that was built by homology modeling suggested that ManDG1235 had four mannose-binding subsites which were symmetrically arranged in the active-site cleft. A long loop linking β2 and α2 as in CjMan26C creates a steric border in the glycone region of active-site cleft which probably leads to the exo-acting feature of ManDG1235, for specifically cleaving mannobiose from the non-reducing end of the substrate.

Abstract
Mannans are main components of hemicellulosic fraction of softwoods and they are present widely in plant tissues. β-mannanases are the major mannan-degrading enzymes and are produced by different plants, animals, actinomycetes, fungi, and bacteria. These enzymes can function under conditions of wide range of pH and temperature. Applications of β-mannanases have therefore, been found in different industries such as animal feed, food, biorefinery, textile, detergent, and paper and pulp. This review summarizes the most recent studies reported on potential applications of β-mannanases and bioengineering of β-mannanases to modify and optimize their key catalytic properties to cater to growing demands of commercial sectors.

Abstract
Feasible and easily accessible methods for the rational design of enzyme engineering strategies remain to be established. Thus, a new rationally combined strategy based on disulfide bond engineering and HotSpot Wizard 3.0 was proposed and experimentally demonstrated to be effective using a hyperthermostable β-mannanase. Ten of 42 mutants showed prominent enhancement of kinetic stability with 26.4%-39.9% increases in t1/2 (75 °C) compared with the parent enzyme ManAKH. The best mutant, D273-V308, showed apparent increases in both optimal temperature (5 °C) and T50 (6.8 °C), as well as advanced catalytic efficiency. The low rate of inactive mutants and the high rate of positive mutants indicated that newly introduced screening factors (distance from catalytic residues, Gibbs free energy term, molecular simulation, and visual inspections) greatly enhance the design of thermostable β-mannanase. Moreover, these findings further advance the industrial application of β-mannanase (ManAK) in food and food-related applications.

Abstract
A novel GH5 endo-1,4-β-mannanase (BaMan5A) was identified from Bacillus sp. KW1, it shares the highest sequence identity (86%) with another characterized Bacillus endo-1,4-β-mannanase. The recombinant BaMan5A displayed maximum activity at pH 7.0 and 70 °C, it was stable at a broad pH range (pH 3.5-11.0) after 12-h incubation at 25 °C, and exhibited good thermostability, retaining about 100% and 85% activity after incubating at 60 °C for 12 h and 65 °C for 8 h, respectively. The results of polysaccharide hydrolysis revealed that the enzyme can only hydrolyze mannan substrates, including carob galactomannan, konjac glucomannan, 1,4-β-D-mannan, locust bean gum, and guar gum, yielding mannose, mannobiose, mannotriose, and some other oligosaccharides. The best substrate was carob galactomannan, the corresponding specific activity and Km value were 10,886 μmol/min/μmol and 3.31 mg/mL, respectively. Interestingly, BaMan5A was capable to hydrolyze both manno-oligosaccharides and cello-oligosaccharides, including mannotetraose, mannopentaose, mannohexaose, cellopentaose and cellohexaose. Furthermore, BaMan5A acted synergistically with a commercial α-galactosidase (CbAgal) on galactomannan depolymerization, a best synergy degree of 1.58 was achieved after optimizing enzyme ratios. This study not only expands the diversity of Bacillus GH5 β-mannanase, but also discloses the potential of BaMan5A in industrial application.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass can be used as a source for energy, fuel and valuable chemical production. From all available technologies, biological approaches have been recognized as the most environmentally friendly and sustainable ones. At the same time, high conversion costs, low efficiency and environmental issues still hinder the introduction of biological processes into industrial scale manufacturing. The aim of this study was to determine the most suitable enzyme cocktail recovery conditions from a biomass-fungal culture of the white-rot basidiomycete Irpex lacteus. Subsequent evaluation of the overall enzyme cocktail efficiency to release fermentable carbohydrates from biomass showed that prolonged fungal cultivation decreases the quality of the produced enzyme cocktail. At the same time, introduction of ultrasound pre-treatment during enzyme extraction improved the recovered enzyme cocktail efficiency in converting biomass to fermentable sugars, yielding up to 0.25 g of fermentable sugar per g dry hay biomass and up to 0.11 g per g dried straw or microalgae substrates. The results demonstrated that the production of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes from fungi is more sensitive than previously described, especially in terms of fungal growth, culture sterility and incubation conditions.

Abstract
β-mannanase is one of the key enzymes to hydrolyze hemicellulose. At present, most β-mannanases are not widely applied because of their low enzyme activity and unsuitable enzymatic properties. In this work, a new β-mannanase from Enterobacter aerogenes was studied, which laid the foundation for its further application. Additionally, we will further perform directed evolution of the enzyme to increase its activity, improve its temperature and pH properties to allow it more applications in industry. A new β-mannanase (Man26E) from Enterobacter aerogenes was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli. Man26E showed about 40 kDa on SDS-PAGE gel. The SWISS-MODEL program was used to model the tertiary structure of Man26E, which presented a core (α/β)8-barrel catalytic module. Based on the binding pattern of CjMan26 C, Man26E docking Gal1Man4 was investigated. The catalytic region consisted of a surface containing four solvent-exposed aromatic rings, many hydrophilic and charged residues. Man26E displayed the highest activity at pH 6.0 and 55 °C, and high acid and alkali stability in a wide pH range (pH 4–10) and thermostability from 40 to 50 °C. The enzyme showed the highest activity on locust bean gum, and the Km and Vmax were 7.16 mg mL−1 and 508 U mg−1, respectively. This is the second β-mannanase reported from Enterobacter aerogenes B19. The β-mannanase displayed high enzyme activity, a relatively high catalytic temperature and a broad range of catalytic pH values. The enzyme catalyzed both polysaccharides and manno-oligosaccharides.

Abstract
Among endo-mannanases, glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 26 enzymes have been shown to be more catalytically active than GH5 enzymes on mannans. However, only GH5 endo-mannanases have been used for the formulation of enzyme cocktails. In this study, Bacillus sp.-derived GH5 and GH26 endo-mannanases were comparatively analysed biochemically for their synergistic action with a commercial cellulase blend, CTec2, during pre-treated lignocellulose degradation. Substrate specificity and thermo-stability studies on mannan substrates showed that GH26 endo-mannanase was more catalytically active and stable than GH5. GH26 also exhibited higher binding affinity for mannan than GH5, while GH5 showed more affinity for lignocellulosic substrates than GH26. Applying the endo-mannanases in combination with CTec2 for lignocellulose degradation led to synergism with a 1.3-fold increase in reducing sugar release compared to when CTec2 was used alone. This study showed that using the activity of endo-mannanases displayed with model substrates is a poor predictor of their activity and synergism on complex lignocelluloses.
