[PMID: 38601209 PMCID: PMC11004072 DOI: 10.1016/j.synbio.2024.03.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Xylanase, an enzyme capable of hydrolyzing non-starch polysaccharides found in grain structures like wheat, has been found to improve the organizational structure of dough and thus increase its volume. In our past work, one promising xylanase FXYL derived from Fusarium oxysporum Fo47 and first expressed 779.64 U/mL activity in P. pastoris. It has shown significant potential in improving the quality of whole wheat bread, making it become a candidate for development as a new flour improver. After optimization of expression elements and gene dose, the xylanase activity of FXYL strain carrying three-copies reached 4240.92 U/mL in P. pastoris. In addition, 12 factors associated with the three stages of protein expression pathway were co-expressed individually in order in three-copies strain, and the translation factor Pab1 co-expression increased FXYL activity to 8893.53 U/mL. Nevertheless, combining the most effective or synergistic factors from three stages did not exhibit better results than co-expressing them alone. To further evaluate the industrial potential, the xylanase activity and protein concentration reached 81184.51 U/mL and 11.8 g/L in a 5 L fed-batch fermenter. These engineering strategies improved the expression of xylanase FXYL by more than 104-fold, providing valuable insights for the cost-effective industrial application of FXYL in the baking field.

Abstract
Daily agro-industrial waste, primarily cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose, poses a significant environmental challenge. Harnessing lignocellulolytic enzymes, particularly endo-1,4-β-xylanases, for efficient saccharification is a cost-effective strategy, transforming biomass into high-value products. This study focuses on the cloning, expression, site-directed mutagenesis, purification, three-dimensional modeling, and characterization of the recombinant endo-1,4-β-xylanase (XlnA) from Aspergillus clavatus in Escherichia coli. This work includes evaluation of the stability at varied NaCl concentrations, determining kinetic constants, and presenting the heterologous expression of XlnAΔ36 using pET22b(+). The expression led to purified enzymes with robust stability across diverse pH levels, exceptional thermostability at 50 °C, and 96-100% relative stability after 24 h in 3.0 M NaCl. Three-dimensional modeling reveals a GH11 architecture with catalytic residues Glu 132 and 22. XlnAΔ36 demonstrates outstanding kinetic parameters compared to other endo-1,4-β-xylanases, indicating its potential for industrial enzymatic cocktails, enhancing saccharification. Moreover, its ability to yield high-value compounds, such as sugars, suggests a promising and ecologically positive alternative for the food and biotechnology industries.

Abstract
Xylanases are the main enzymes to hydrolyze xylan, the major hemicellulose found in lignocellulose. Xylanases also have a wide range of industrial applications. Therefore, the discovery of new xylanases has the potential to enhance efficiency and sustainability in many industries. Here, we report a xylanase with thermophilic character and superior biochemical properties for industrial use. The new xylanase is discovered in Anoxybacillus ayderensis as an intracellular xylanase (AAyXYN329) and recombinantly produced. While AAyXYN329 shows significant activity over a wide pH and temperature range, optimum activity conditions were determined as pH 6.5 and 65 °C. The half-life of the enzyme was calculated as 72 h at 65 °C. The enzyme did not lose activity between pH 6.0-9.0 at +4 °C for 75 days. Km, kcat and kcat/Km values of AAyXYN329 were calculated as 4.09824 ± 0.2245 μg/μL, 96.75 1/sec, and 23.61/L/g.s -1, respectively. In conclusion, the xylanase of A. ayderensis has an excellent potential to be utilized in many industrial processes.

Abstract
In order to search for high specific activity and the resistant xylanases to XIP-I and provide more alternative xylanases for industrial production, a strain of Fusarium graminearum from Triticum aestivum grains infected with filamentous fungus produced xylanases was isolated and identified. Three xylanase genes from Fusarium graminearum Z-1 were cloned and successfully expressed in E. coli and P. pastoris, respectively. The specific activities of Fgxyn1, EFgxyn2 and EFgxyn3 for birchwood xylan were 38.79, 0.85 and 243.83 U/mg in E. coli, and 40.11, 0 and 910.37 U/mg in P. pastoris, respectively. EFgxyn3 and PFgxyn3 had the similar optimum pH at 6.0 and pH stability at 5.0-9.0. However, they had different optimum temperature and thermal stability, with 30 °C for EFgxyn3 and 40 °C for PFgxyn3, and 4-35 °C for EFgxyn3 and 4-40 °C for PFgxyn3, respectively. The substrate spectrum and the kinetic parameters showed that the two xylanases also exhibited the highest xylanase activity and catalytic efficiency (kcat/km) toward birchwood xylan, with 243.83 U/mg and 61.44 mL/mg/s for EFgxyn3 and 910.37 U/mg and 910.37 mL/mg/s for PFgxyn3, respectively. This study provided a novel mesophilic xylanase with high specific activity and catalytic efficiency, thus making it a promising candidate for extensive applications in animal feed and food industry.

Heteroxylan hydrolysis by a recombinant cellulase-free GH10 xylanase from the alkaliphilic bacterium Halalkalibacterium halodurans C-125. Arch Microbiol 2024; 206:261. [PMID: 38753095 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-024-03982-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2024] [Revised: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
The search for affordable enzymes with exceptional characteristics is fundamental to overcoming industrial and environmental constraints. In this study, a recombinant GH10 xylanase (Xyn10-HB) from the extremely alkaliphilic bacterium Halalkalibacterium halodurans C-125 cultivated at pH 10 was cloned and expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3). Removal of the signal peptide improved the expression, and an overall activity of 8 U/mL was obtained in the cell-free supernatant. The molecular weight of purified Xyn10-HB was estimated to be 42.6 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The enzyme was active across a wide pH range (5-10) with optimal activity recorded at pH 8.5 and 60 °C. It also presented good stability with a half-life of 3 h under these conditions. Substrate specificity studies showed that Xyn10-HB is a cellulase-free enzyme that conventionally hydrolyse birchwood and oat spelts xylans (Apparent Km of 0.46 mg/mL and 0.54 mg/mL, respectively). HPLC analysis showed that both xylans hydrolysis produced xylooligosaccharides (XOS) with a degree of polymerization (DP) ranging from 2 to 9. The conversion yield was 77% after 24 h with xylobiose and xylotriose as the main end-reaction products. When assayed on alkali-extracted wheat straw heteroxylan, the Xyn10-HB produced active XOS with antioxidant activity determined by the DPPH radical scavenging method (IC50 of 0.54 mg/mL after 4 h). Owing to its various characteristics, Xyn10-HB xylanase is a promising candidate for multiple biotechnological applications.

Abstract
The development of minimally processed baked goods is dependent on new "clean label" functional ingredients that allow substitution of additives without compromising quality. We investigated the use of fermentation with Bacillus spp. as a novel approach to improve bread quality. Bacillus velezensis FUA2155 and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Fad WE ferments were prepared using white wheat flour, wheat bran or buckwheat, and were added at a level of 2.5-20 % to bread dough. Ropy spoilage of bread was controlled by sourdough addition at a level of 10 or 20 %. The volume of white wheat bread and wheat bran bread increased by 47.4 and 62.5 % respectively with 2.5 % Bacillus ferments. Bread shelf-life was prolonged by the Bacillus ferment only at higher dosages that also reduced bread volume. The use of unfermented or sourdough fermented buckwheat improved bread volume and delayed mould spoilage. The characterization of water-soluble polysaccharides from sourdoughs and Bacillus ferments revealed that solubilization of arabinoxylans contributed to the increase in volume after fermentation of wheat but not after fermentation of buckwheat. In conclusion, Bacillus fermentation can be used to improve bread quality, adding to the diversity of microbes that are suitable for baking applications.

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.

Abstract
Enzymatic compounds can be found abundantly and provide numerous advantages in microbial organisms. Xylanases are used in various pharmaceutical, food, livestock, poultry, and paper industries. This study aimed to investigate xylanase-producing yeasts, xylose concentration curve and their enzymatic activity under various factors including carbon and nitrogen sources, temperature, and pH. Enzyme activity was evaluated under different conditions before, during, and after purification. The yeast strains were obtained from the wood product workshop and were subsequently cultivated on YPD (yeast extract peptone dextrose) medium. Additionally, the growth curve of the yeast and its molecular identification were conducted. The optimization and design process of xylan isolated from corn wood involved the use of Taguchi software to test different parameters like carbon and nitrogen sources, temperature, and pH, with the goal of determining the most optimal conditions for enzyme production. In addition, the Taguchi method was utilized to conduct a multifactorial optimization of xylanase enzyme activity. The isolated species were partially purified using ammonium sulfate precipitation and dialysis bag techniques. The results indicated that 3 species (8S, 18S, and 16W) after molecular identification based on 18S rRNA gene sequencing were identified as Candida tropicalis SBN-IAUF-1, Candida tropicalis SBN-IAUF-3, and Pichia kudriavzevii SBN-IAUF-2, respectively. The optimal parameters for wheat carbon source and peptone nitrogen source were found at 50 °C and pH 9.0 through single-factor optimization. By using the Taguchi approach, the best combination for highest activity was rice-derived carbon source and peptone nitrogen source at 50 °C and pH 6.0. The best conditions for xylanase enzyme production in single-factor optimization of wheat bran were 2135.6 U/mL, peptone 4475.25 U/mL, temperature 50 °C 1868 U/mL, and pH 9.0 2002.4 U/mL. Among the tested yeast, Candida tropicalis strain SBN-IAUF-1 to the access number MZ816946.1 in NCBI was found to be the best xylanase product. The highest ratio of enzyme production at the end of the delayed phase and the beginning of the logarithmic phase was concluded by comparing the growth ratio of 8S, 16W, and 18S yeasts with the level of enzymatic activity. This is the first report on the production of xylan polymer with a relative purity of 80% in Iran. The extracellular xylanases purified from the yeast species of C. tropicalis were introduced as a desirable biocatalyst due to their high enzymatic activity for the degradation of xylan polymers.

Abstract
New xylanase (XylUS570) was purified from the Bacillus pumilus US570 strain. It has a molecular mass of about 232 kDa. This is the first report on the highest molecular weight monomeric xylanase produced by bacteria. The optimum pH and temperature recorded for enzyme activity were 7 and 55 °C, respectively with a half-life time of 10 min at 60 °C. At 37 °C, the enzyme retains more than 50% of its activity at a pH ranging from 6 to 9.5 for 24 h. The XylUS570 exhibited a high activity on xylan, but no activity was detected for cellulosic substrates. The Vmax and Km values exhibited by the purified enzyme on beechwood xylan were 37.05 U mL-1 and 4.189 mg mL-1, respectively. The XylUS570 was used in banana and orange peels hydrolysis and showed potential efficiency to liberate reducing sugars. It could be a good candidate for bio-ethanol production from fruit waste. The purified enzyme was used also as an additive in breadmaking. A decrease in water absorption, an increase in dough rising and improvements in volume and specific volume of the bread were recorded.

Abstract
Xylanases are important for the enzymatic breakdown of lignocellulose-based biomass to produce biofuels and other value-added products. We report functional and structural analyses of TsaGH11, an endo-1,4-β-xylanase from the hemicellulose-degrading bacterium, Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum. TsaGH11 was shown to be a thermophilic enzyme that favors acidic conditions with maximum activity at pH 5.0 and 70 °C. It decomposes xylans from beechwood and oat spelts to xylose-containing oligosaccharides with specific activities of 5622.0 and 3959.3 U mg-1, respectively. The kinetic parameters, Km and kcat towards beechwood xylan, are 12.9 mg mL-1 and 34,015.3 s-1, respectively, resulting in kcat/Km value of 2658.7 mL mg-1 s-1, higher by 102-103 orders of magnitude compared to other reported GH11s investigated with the same substrate, demonstrating its superior catalytic performance. Crystal structures of TsaGH11 revealed a β-jelly roll fold, exhibiting open and close conformations of the substrate-binding site by distinct conformational flexibility to the thumb region of TsaGH11. In the room-temperature structure of TsaGH11 determined by serial synchrotron crystallography, the electron density map of the thumb domain of the TsaGH11 molecule, which does not affect crystal packing, is disordered, indicating that the thumb domain of TsaGH11 has high structural flexibility at room temperature, with the water molecules in the substrate-binding cleft being more disordered than those in the cryogenic structure. These results expand our knowledge of GH11 structural flexibility at room temperature and pave the way for its application in industrial biomass degradation.

Valorization of lignocellulosic wastes for sustainable xylanase production from locally isolated Bacillus subtilis exploited for xylooligosaccharides' production with potential antimicrobial activity. Arch Microbiol 2023; 205:315. [PMID: 37605001 PMCID: PMC10442310 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-023-03645-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Revised: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/30/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023]
Abstract
The worldwide availability of lignocellulosic wastes represents a serious environmental challenge with potential opportunities. Xylanases are crucial in lignocellulosic bio-hydrolysis, but the low enzyme productivity and stability are still challenges. In the current study, Bacillus subtilis (coded ARSE2) revealed potent xylanase activity among other local isolates. The enzyme production optimization revealed that maximum enzyme production (490.58 U/mL) was achieved with 1% xylan, 1.4% peptone, and 5% NaCl at 30 °C and pH 9. Furthermore, several lignocellulosic wastes were exploited for sustainable xylanase production, where sugarcane bagasse (16%) under solid-state fermentation and woody sawdust (2%) under submerged fermentation supported the maximum enzyme titer of about 472.03 and 485.7 U/mL, respectively. The partially purified enzyme revealed two protein bands at 42 and 30 kDa. The partially purified enzyme revealed remarkable enzyme activity and stability at 50-60 °C and pH 8-9. The enzyme also revealed significant stability toward tween-80, urea, DTT, and EDTA with Vmax and Km values of 1481.5 U/mL and 0.187 mM, respectively. Additionally, the purified xylanase was applied for xylooligosaccharides production, which revealed significant antimicrobial activity toward Staphylococcus aureus with lower activity against Escherichia coli. Hence, the locally isolated Bacillus subtilis ARSE2 could fulfill the xylanase production requirements in terms of economic production at a high titer with promising enzyme characteristics. Additionally, the resultant xylooligosaccharides revealed a promising antimicrobial potential, which paves the way for other medical applications.

Abstract
Endo 1,4-β-d-xylanases (EC3.2.1.8) are one of the key lignocellulose hydrolyzing enzymes. Xylan, which is present in copious amounts on earth, forms the primary substrate of endo-xylanases, which can unchain the constituent monosaccharides linked via β-1,4-glycosidic bonds from the xylan backbone. Researchers have shown keen interest in the xylanases belonging to glycoside hydrolase families 10 and 11, whereas those placed in other glycoside hydrolase families are yet to be investigated. Various microbes such as bacteria and fungi harbor these enzymes for the metabolism of their lignocellulose fibers. These microbes can be used as miniature biofactories of xylanase enzymes for a plethora of environmentally benign applications in pulp and paper industry, biofuel production, and for improving the quality of food in bread baking and fruit juice industry. This review highlights the potential of microbes in production of xylanase for industrial biotechnology.

Abstract
Endo-1,4-β-xylanases (EC 3.2.1.8) are O-glycoside hydrolases that cleave the internal β-1,4-D-xylosidic linkages of the complex plant polysaccharide xylan. They are produced by a vast array of organisms where they play critical roles in xylan saccharification and plant cell wall hydrolysis. They are also important industrial biocatalysts with widespread application. A large and ever growing number of xylanases with wildly different properties and functionalites are known and a better understanding of these would enable a more effective use in various applications. The Carbohydrate-Active enZYmes database (CAZy), which classifies evolutionarily related proteins into a glycoside hydrolase family-subfamily organisational scheme has proven powerful in understanding these enzymes. Nevertheless, ambiguity currently exists as to the number of glycoside hydrolase families and subfamilies harbouring catalytic domains with true endoxylanase activity and as to the specific characteristics of each of these families/subfamilies. This review seeks to clarify this, identifying 9 glycoside hydrolase families containing enzymes with endo-1,4-β-xylanase activity and discussing their properties, similarities, differences and biotechnological perspectives. In particular, substrate specificities and hydrolysis patterns and the structural determinants of these are detailed, with taxonomic aspects of source organisms being also presented. Shortcomings in current knowledge and research areas that require further clarification are highlighted and suggestions for future directions provided. This review seeks to motivate further research on these enzymes and especially of the lesser known endo-1,4-β-xylanase containing families. A better understanding of these enzymes will serve as a foundation for the knowledge-based development of process-fitted endo-1,4-β-xylanases and will accelerate their development for use with even the most recalcitrant of substrates in the biobased industries of the future.

Abstract
Lipases are important biocatalysts having the third largest global demand after amylases and proteases. In the present study, we have screened 56 potential lipolytic Pseudomonas strains for their lipolytic activity. Pseudomonas plecoglossicida S7 showed highest lipase production with specific activity of 70 U/mg. Statistical optimizations using Plackett Burman design and response surface methodology evaluated fourteen different media supplements including various oilcakes, carbon sources, nitrogen sources, and metal ions which led to a 2.23-fold (156.23 U/mg) increase in lipase activity. Further, inoculum size optimization increased the overall lipase activity by 2.81-folds. The lipase was active over a range of 30-50° C with a pH range (7-10). The enzyme was tolerant to various solvents like chloroform, methanol, 1-butanol, acetonitrile, and dichloromethane and retained 60% of its activity in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (0.5% w/v). The enzyme was immobilized onto Ca-alginate beads which increased thermal (20-60 °C) and pH stability (5-10). The purified enzyme could successfully remove sesame oil stains and degraded upto 25.2% of diesel contaminated soil. These properties of the lipase will help in its applicability in detergent formulations, wastewater treatments, and biodegradation of oil in the environment.

Abstract
Although xylanase have a wide range of applications, cold-active xylanases have received less attention. In this study, a novel glycoside hydrolase family 8 (GH8) xylanase from Sorangium cellulosum with high activity at low temperatures was identified. The recombinant xylanase (XynSc8) was most active at 50 °C, demonstrating 20% of its maximum activity and strict substrate specificity towards beechwood and corncob xylan at 4 °C with Vmax values of 968.65 and 1521.13 μmol/mg/min, respectively. Mesophilic XynSc8 was active at a broad range of pH and hydrolyzed beechwood and corncob xylan into xylooligosaccharides (XOS) with degree of polymerization greater than 3. Moreover, incorporation of XynSc8 (0.05-0.2 mg/kg flour) provided remarkable improvement (28-30%) in bread specific volume and textural characteristics of bread compared to commercial xylanase. This is the first report on a novel cold-adapted GH8 xylanase from myxobacteria, suggesting that XynSc8 may be a promising candidate suitable for bread making.

Abstract
The biotechnological application of bacterial xylanases requires a high thermostability, a catalytically active state for a broad pH range. The Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (MTCC 1270) xynA gene was amplified and cloned into the pCold vector and was expressed in Escherichia coli to evaluate the expressed proteins' thermostability. The pCold, compared to other similar vectors, has unique properties-including pH and temperature tolerance due to the presence of the cspA promoter. The recombinant xynA-pCold (rxynApC) showed the expression of xynA gene with a molecular weight of ~ 27 kDa, confirmed on SDS-PAGE. The rxynApC exhibits optimal activity at 70 °C and pH 8.0. The residual activity of the recombinant enzyme was 90% at pH 8.0. The thermal decomposition temperature (T d) value for the rxynApC enzyme was 93.33 °C obtained from the thermogravimetric analysis, indicating the potent stability of the cloned enzyme. The specific activity of native xylanase and rxynApC under optimal conditions was 32.35 and 105.5 U/mg, respectively. The structural model of the xynA gene was predicted using the in silico tool along with the active site (containing four important Tyr-166, Gly-7, Try-69 and Arg-112 amino acids). The predicted biophysical parameters of the in silico model were similar to the experimental results. The unique feature of the cspA promoter is that it gave a high expression of rxynApC enzyme having alkali and thermostable properties with high yield in surrogate host E. coli. Thus, the recombinant xynA gene can potentially be applied to different industrial needs by looking at its thermostability and enhanced enzyme activity.

Abstract
Endophytic fungi of cacao had important xylanase activity when grown on wheat bran. F. graminearum strain Ec220 produced xylanases with low cellulolytic activity. Xylanase production was optimized using response surface methodology. Proteomic analysis revealed similarities with previously reported xylanases.
The xylanolytic potential of endophytic fungi isolated from leaves of Theobroma cacao was explored for the first time. Four fungal strains showed significant amounts of xylanase activity and low cellulase levels when grown on wheat bran as the sole carbon source. Strain Ec220 of Fusarium graminearum had the highest xylanase production (1.79 U/ml), whereas its cellulase activity was minimal (0.24 U/ml). Optimal conditions for xylanase production were: 154 h of incubation time, pH 5.79 and 29.8 °C. Furthermore, two protein spots detected by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis showed molecular weights (26.05 and 27.70 kDa) and isoelectric points (6.18 and 9.20) corresponding to previously reported F. graminearum xylanases, Xyl A and Xyl B, respectively. Therefore, endophytic fungi of T. cacao can be an important source of xylanolytic activities when cultured on wheat bran, and xylanases with low cellulases found in strain Ec220 require further characterization as they show promise for possible industrial applications.

Abstract
Various studies have shown that the microbial proteins are often more stable than belongs to other sources like plant and animal origin. Hence, the interest in microbial enzymes has gained much attention due to many potential applications like bioenergy, biofuel production, biobleaching, bioconversion and so on. Additionally, recent trends revealed that the interest in isolating novel microbes from harsh environments have been the main focus of many scientists for various applications. Basically, industrially important enzymes can be categorized into mainly three groups: carbohydrases, proteases, and lipases. Among those, the enzymes especially carbohydrases involved in production of sugars. Carbohydrases include amylases, xylanases, pectinases, cellulases, chitinases, mannases, laccases, ligninases, lactase, glucanase, and glucose oxidase. Thus, here, an approach has been made to highlight five enzymes namely amylase, cellulase, laccase, pectinase, and xylanase from different sources with special emphasis on their properties, mechanism, applications, production optimization, purification, molecular approaches for its enhanced and stable production, and also biotechnological perspectives of its future development. Also, green and sustainable catalytic conversion strategies using nanoparticles of these enzymes have also been discussed. This review will provide insight into the carbohydrases importance and their usefulness that will help to the researchers working in this field.

Abstract
Xylanases have a broad range of applications in agro-industrial processes. In this study, we report on the discovery and characterization of a new thermotolerant GH10 xylanase from Bacillus safensis, designated as BsXyn10. The xylanase gene (bsxyn10) was cloned from Bacillus safensis and expressed in Escherichia coli. The reduced molecular mass of BsXyn10 was 48 kDa upon SDS-PAGE. Bsxyn10 was optimally active at pH 7.0 and 60 °C, stable over a broad range of pH (5.0–8.0), and also revealed tolerance toward different modulators (metal cations, EDTA). The enzyme was active toward various xylans with no activity on the glucose-based polysaccharides. KM, vmax, and kcat for oat spelt xylan hydrolysis were found to be 1.96 g·L−1, 58.6 μmole·min−1·(mg protein)−1, and 49 s−1, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters for oat spelt xylan hydrolysis at 60 °C were ΔS* = −61.9 J·mol−1·K−1, ΔH* = 37.0 kJ·mol−1 and ΔG* = 57.6 kJ·mol−1. BsXyn10 retained high levels of activity at temperatures up to 60 °C. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH*D, ΔG*D, ΔS*D) for the thermal deactivation of BsXyn10 at a temperature range of 40–80 °C were: 192.5 ≤ ΔH*D ≤ 192.8 kJ·mol−1, 262.1 ≤ ΔS*D ≤ 265.8 J·mol−1·K−1, and 99.9 ≤ ΔG*D ≤ 109.6 kJ·mol−1. The BsXyn10-treated oat spelt xylan manifested the catalytic release of xylooligosaccharides of 2–6 DP, suggesting that BsXyn10 represents a promising candidate biocatalyst appropriate for several biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Rahnella sp. ChDrAdgB13 is a dominant member of the gut bacterial core of species of the genus Dendroctonus, which is one of the most destructive pine forest bark beetles. The objectives of this study were identified in Rahnella sp. ChDrAdgB13 genome the glycosyl hydrolase families involved in carbohydrate metabolism and specifically, the genes that participate in xylan hydrolysis, to determine the functionality of a putative endo-1,4-β-D-xylanase, which results to be bifunctional xylanase-ferulic acid esterase called R13 Fae and characterize it biochemically. The carbohydrate-active enzyme prediction revealed 25 glycoside hydrolases, 20 glycosyl transferases, carbohydrate esterases, two auxiliary activities, one polysaccharide lyase, and one carbohydrate-binding module (CBM). The R13 Fae predicted showed high identity to the putative esterases and glycosyl hydrolases from Rahnella species and some members of the Yersiniaceae family. The r13 fae gene encodes 393 amino acids (43.5 kDa), containing a signal peptide, esterase catalytic domain, and CBM48. The R13 Fae modeling showed a higher binding affinity to ferulic acid, α-naphthyl acetate, and arabinoxylan, and a low affinity to starch. The R13 Fae recombinant protein showed activity on α-naphthyl acetate and xylan, but not on starch. This enzyme showed mesophilic characteristics, displaying its optimal activity at pH 6.0 and 25°C. The enzyme was stable at pH from 4.5 to 9.0, retaining nearly 66-71% of its original activity. The half-life of the enzyme was 23 days at 25°C. The enzyme was stable in the presence of metallic ions, except for Hg2+. The products of R13 Fae mediated hydrolysis of beechwood xylan were xylobiose and xylose, manifesting an exo-activity. The results suggest that Rahnella sp. ChDrAdgB13 hydrolyze xylan and its products could be assimilated by its host and other gut microbes as a nutritional source, demonstrating their functional role in the bacterial-insect interaction contributing to their fitness, development, and survival.

Abstract
The main objective of this study was to investigate the utilization of various agro-industrial wastes such as wheat bran, wheat husk, wheat straw, peanut powder, pomace, corn cobs, rice straw, sawdust and sugarcane bagasse for the cost-effective production of xylanase by Bacillus safensis XPS7 using the one-variable-at-a-time approach. A number of bacterial strains were isolated from different locations in the cold desert region of Himachal Pradesh, India. Among these, the hyperproducing strain designated as XPS7 was selected for optimized production of xylanase and identified as B. safensis based on 16S rDNA gene analysis. B. safensis XPS7 produced the maximum xylanase (141.28 U/mL) at 45 °C, pH 9, 24 h incubation time, 2% (w/v) wheat straw and wheat bran mixture as carbon source and 1.5% (w/v) ammonium nitrate as the nitrogen source in modified Riviere’s medium. The results showed that the combination of wheat straw and wheat bran proved to be a cheap and abundant source for the hyper production of xylanase and can be used as an inexpensive base (carbon source) for large scale industrial production of enzymes. In addition, the use of waste for the economic production of enzymes will also help to minimize the environmental problems associated with the disposal of agro-industrial waste.

Abstract
Xylanases are widely used in the degradation of lignocellulose and are important industrial enzymes. Therefore, increasing the catalytic activity of xylanases can improve their efficiency and performance. In this study, we introduced the C-terminal proline-rich oligopeptide of the rumen-derived XynA into XylR, a GH10 family xylanase. The optimum temperature and pH of the fused enzyme (XylR-Fu) were consistent with those of XylR; however, its catalytic efficiency was 2.48-fold higher than that of XylR. Although the proline-rich oligopeptide did not change the enzyme hydrolysis mode, the amount of oligosaccharides released from beechwood xylan by XylR-Fu was 17% higher than that released by XylR. This increase may be due to the abundance of proline in the oligopeptide, which plays an important role in substrate binding. Furthermore, circular dichroism analysis indicated that the proline-rich oligopeptide might increase the rigidity of the overall structure, thereby enhancing the affinity to the substrate and catalytic activity of the enzyme. Our study shows that the proline-rich oligopeptide enhances the catalytic efficiency of GH10 xylanases and provides a better understanding of the C-terminal oligopeptide-function relationships. This knowledge can guide the rational design of GH10 xylanases to improve their catalytic activity and provides clues for further applications of xylanases in industry.

Abstract
In this study, the thermostability of an acid-resistant GH11 xylanase (xynA) from Aspergillus niger AG11 was enhanced through systematic modification of its four highly flexible regions (HFRs) predicted using MD simulations. Among them, HFR I (residues 92-100) and HFR II (residues 121-130) were modified by iterative saturation mutagenesis (ISM), yielding mutants G92F/G97S/G100K and T121V/A124P/I126V/T129L/A130N, respectively. For HFR III, the N-(residues 1-37) and C-termini (residues 179-188) were, respectively, substituted with the corresponding sequences from thermophilic EvXyn11TS and Nesterenkonia xinjiangensis xylanase. N-Glycosylation was introduced into HFR IV (residues 50-70) through site-directed mutation (A55N/D57S/S61N) and the recombinant expression in A. niger AG11. Combining these positive mutations from each HFR yielded the variant xynAm1 with 137.6- and 1.3-fold increases in half-life at 50 °C and specific activity compared to the wild-type xynA, respectively. With the highest thermostability at 80 and 90 °C in reports, xynAm1 could be a robust candidate for industrial applications in functional foods, feed products, and bioethanol production.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hemicellulose is one of the copious polymer in lignocellulosic biomass (LCB). It is primarily composed of xylan linked by β-1,4 glycosidic bonds. Xylanase preferentially cleaves the β-1,4-glycosidic bonds in the xylan backbone resulting in complete hydrolysis of the biomass. Thermostable variants of glycoside hydrolases act as robust catalysts, not only in degradation but also during processing, to obtain specific carbohydrate-containing chemicals and materials (Ramasamy et al. in Madras Agric J 107(special):1. 10.29321/MAJ.2020.000382, 2020).
Results
The xylanase production by two thermophilic bacteria isolated from thermal springs was evaluated. In addition, the gene encoding this industrially vital enzyme was isolated and characterized, and its protein structure was analyzed. The thermophilic bacteria producing xylanases were isolated from augmented sawdust and banana fiber biomass from hot springs of Himachal Pradesh and identified as Bacillus subtilis VSDB5 and Bacillus licheniformis KBFB4 using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The persistent xylanase activity revealed that the enzyme is secreted extracellularly with the maximum activity of 0.76 IU mL−1 and 1.0 IU mL−1 at 6 h and 12 h of growth by KBFB4 and VSDB5, respectively, under submerged fermentation. Both the strains exhibited the maximum activity at pH 6 and a temperature of 50 °C. The xylanases of KBFB4 and VSDB5 were thermostable and retained 40% of their activity at 60 °C after incubation for 30 min. Xylanase of VSDB5 had wide thermotolerance and retained 20% of its activity from 60 to 80 °C, whereas xylanase of KBFB4 showed wide alkali tolerance and retained 80% of its activity until pH 10. The xylanase (xynA)-encoding gene (650 bp) cloned from both the strains using specific primers showed 98 to 99% homology to β-1,4-endoxylanase gene. Further in silico analysis predicted that the xylanase protein, with a molecular weight of 23 kDa, had a high pI (9.44–9.65), which explained the alkaline nature of the enzyme and greater aliphatic index (56.29). This finding suggested that the protein is thermostable. Multiple sequence alignment and homology modeling of the protein sequence revealed that the gene product belonged to the GH11 family, indicating its possible application in bioconversion.
Conclusion
The strains B. subtilis VSDB5 and B. licheniformis KBFB4 obtained from hot springs of Himachal Pradesh produced potent and alkali-tolerant thermostable xylanases, which belong to the GH11 family. The enzyme can be supplemented in industrial applications for biomass conversion at high temperatures and pH (or in processes involving alkali treatment).

Abstract
There is an intricate network of relations between endophytic fungi and their hosts that affects the production of various bioactive compounds. Plant-associated endophytic contain industrially important enzymes and have the potential to fulfill their rapid demand in the international market to boost business in technology. Being safe and metabolically active, they have replaced the usage of toxic and harmful chemicals and hold a credible application in biotransformation, bioremediation, and industrial processes. Despite these, there are limited reports on fungal endophytes that can directly cater to the demand and supply of industrially stable enzymes. The underlying reasons include low endogenous production and secretion of enzymes from fungal endophytes which have raised concern for widely accepted applications. Hence it is imperative to augment the biosynthetic and secretory potential of fungal endophytes. Modern state-of-the-art biotechnological technologies aiming at strain improvement using cell factory engineering as well as precise gene editing like Clustered Regularly Interspaced Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and its Associated proteins (Cas) systems which can provide a boost in fungal endophyte enzyme production. Additionally, it is vital to characterize optimum conditions to grow one strain with multiple enzymes (OSME). The present review encompasses various plants-derived endophytic fungal enzymes and their applications in various sectors. Further, we postulate the feasibility of new precision approaches with an aim for strain improvement and enhanced enzyme production.

Abstract
The engineering of xylo-oligosaccharide-consuming Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains is a promising approach for more effective utilization of lignocellulosic biomass and the development of economic industrial fermentation processes. Extending the sugar consumption range without catabolite repression by including the metabolism of oligomers instead of only monomers would significantly improve second-generation ethanol production This review focuses on different aspects of the action mechanisms of xylan-degrading enzymes from bacteria and fungi, and their insertion in S. cerevisiae strains to obtain microbial cell factories able of consume these complex sugars and convert them to ethanol. Emphasis is given to different strategies for ethanol production from both extracellular and intracellular xylo-oligosaccharide utilization by S. cerevisiae strains. The suitability of S. cerevisiae for ethanol production combined with its genetic tractability indicates that it can play an important role in xylan bioconversion through the heterologous expression of xylanases from other microorganisms.

Abstract
Interest in functional food, such as non-digestible prebiotic oligosaccharides is increasing day by day and their production is shifting toward sustainable manufacturing. Due to the presence of high carbohydrate content, lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is the most-potential, cost-effective and sustainable substrate for production of many useful products, including lignocellulose-derived prebiotic oligosaccharides (LDOs). These have the same worthwhile properties as other common oligosaccharides, such as short chain carbohydrates digestible to the gut flora but not to humans mainly due to their resistance to the low pH and high temperature and their demand is constantly increasing mainly due to increased awareness about their potential health benefits. Despite several advantages over the thermo-chemical route of synthesis, comprehensive and updated information on the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to prebiotic oligomers via controlled enzymatic saccharification is not available in the literature. Thus, the main objective of this review is to highlight recent advancements in enzymatic synthesis of LDOs, current challenges, and future prospects of sustainably producing prebiotic oligomers via enzymatic hydrolysis of LCB substrates. Enzyme reaction engineering practices, custom-made enzyme preparations, controlled enzymatic hydrolysis, and protein engineering approaches have been discussed with regard to their applications in sustainable synthesis of lignocellulose-derived oligosaccharide prebiotics. An overview of scale-up aspects and market potential of LDOs has also been provided.

Abstract
Context: Xylanase constitutes 20% of world enzyme market. Significantly, they are used in poultry feed, paper pulp, bakery, and textile industries. In view of the increasing demand of the enzyme, it is vital to develop indigenous strains and scalable technologies for the production of industrial enzymes. Aims: The objective of the present paper was to isolate a high-yielding strain of thermo-alkali-stable xylanase-producing bacteria for potential application in paper and pulp and biofuel industry. Methods: Sampling for prospecting of suitable organism was carried out from the places with dead and decaying lignocellulosic waste, and then Congo red screening was employed for the primary isolation of xylanase producers. Results: We report the isolation of 18 different strains of xylanase producer bacteria from natural hot water geyser of Sohna, Haryana, India. Subsequently, two of these isolates were chosen for further studies based on xylanase yield and desirable properties such as thermostability and alkali stability of xylanase produced. Conclusion: Isolate B2 was later identified as Bacillus licheniformis, whereas isolate Y3 was identified as Brevibacillus borstelensis. This strain when cultured at 35°C for 72 h showed xylanase production at 128 U/ml. The molecular weight of xylanase was determined to be 25 kDa. The production was scaled up in a 5-L stirred-tank bioreactor which led to high xylanase concentration of 380 U/ml in the first 48 h of culture.

Abstract
The pulp and paper industry discharges massive amount of wastewater containing hazardous organochlorine compounds released during different processing stages. Therefore, some cost-effective and nonpolluting practices such as enzymatic treatments are required for the potential mitigation of effluents released in the environment. Various xylanolytic enzymes such as xylanases, laccases, cellulases and hemicellulases are used to hydrolyse raw materials in the paper manufacturing industry. These enzymes are used either individually or in combination, which has the efficient potential to be considered for bio-deinking and bio-bleaching components. They are highly dynamic, renewable, and high in specificity for enhancing paper quality. The xylanase act on the xylan and cellulases act on the cellulose fibers, and thus increase the bleaching efficacy of paper. Similarly, hemicellulase enzyme like endo-xylanases, arabinofuranosidase and β-D-xylosidases have been described as functional properties towards the biodegradation of biomass. In contrast, laccase enzymes act as multi-copper oxidoreductases, bleaching the paper by the oxidation and reduction process. Laccases possess low redox potential compared to other enzymes, which need some redox mediators to catalyze. The enzymatic process can be affected by various factors such as pH, temperature, metal ions, incubation periods, etc. These factors can either increase or decrease the efficiency of the enzymes. This review draws attention to the xylanolytic enzyme-based advanced technologies for pulp bleaching in the paper industry.

Abstract
Extremophilic endoxylanases grabbed attention in recent years due to their applicability under harsh conditions of several industrial processes. Thermophilic, alkaliphilic, and acidophilic endoxylanases found their employability in bio-bleaching of paper pulp, bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass into xylooligosaccharides, bioethanol production, and improving the nutritious value of bread and other bakery products. Xylanases obtained from extremophilic bacteria and archaea are considered better than fungal sources for several reasons. For example, enzymatic activity under broad pH and temperature range, low molecular weight, cellulase-free activity, and longer stability under extreme conditions of prokaryotic derived xylanases make them a good choice. In addition, a short life span, easy cultivation/harvesting methods, higher yield, and rapid DNA manipulations of bacterial and archaeal cells further reduces the overall cost of the product. This review focuses on the diversity of prokaryotic endoxylanases, their characteristics, and their functional attributes. Besides, the molecular mechanisms of their extreme behavior have also been presented here.

Abstract
Thalassobacillus is a moderately halophilic genus that has been isolated from several sites worldwide, such as hypersaline lakes, saline soils, salt flats, and volcanic mud. Halophilic bacteria have provided functional stable biomolecules in harsh conditions for industrial purposes. Despite its potential biotechnological applications, Thalassobacillus has not been fully characterized yet. This review describes the Thalassobacillus genus, with the few species reported, pointing out its possible applications in enzymes (amylases, cellulases, xylanases, and others), biosurfactants, bioactive compounds, biofuels production, bioremediation, and plant growth promotion. The Thalassobacillus genus represents a little-explored biological resource but with a high potential.

Abstract
Bacterial systems have gained wide attention for depolymerization of lignocellulosic biomass, due to their high functional diversity and adaptability. To achieve the full microbial exploitation of lignocellulosic residues and the cost-effective production of bioproducts within a biorefinery, multiple metabolic pathways and enzymes of various specificities are required. In this work, highly diverse aerobic, mesophilic bacteria enriched from Keri Lake, a pristine marsh of increased biomass degradation and natural underground oil leaks, were explored for their metabolic versatility and enzymatic potential towards lignocellulosic substrates. A high number of Pseudomonas species, obtained from enrichment cultures where organosolv lignin served as the sole carbon and energy source, were able to assimilate a range of lignin-associated aromatic compounds. Comparatively more complex bacterial consortia, including members of Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Bacilli, Sphingobacteria, and Flavobacteria, were also enriched from cultures with xylan or carboxymethyl cellulose as sole carbon sources. Numerous individual isolates could target diverse structural lignocellulose polysaccharides by expressing hydrolytic activities on crystalline or amorphous cellulose and xylan. Specific isolates showed increased potential for growth in lignin hydrolysates prepared from alkali pretreated agricultural wastes. The results suggest that Keri isolates represent a pool of effective lignocellulose degraders with significant potential for industrial applications in a lignocellulose biorefinery.

Abstract
Xylooligosaccharides (XOS), a novel functional food and feed ingredient, can be produced from lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, spent mushroom substrate (SMS) gathered after Pleurotus ostreatus cultivation was investigated for its potential as a new raw material for XOS production using crude xylanases produced in-house from Aspergillus flavus KUB2. Xylan was extracted from SMS using the alkaline extraction method. The highest true recovery of xylan (20.76%) and the relative recovery of xylan (83.73%) were obtained from SMS extracted with 4 M NaOH. Enzymatic hydrolysis of SMS-extracted xylan using crude fungal xylanases from A. flavus KUB2 produced a maximum total XOS in the range 1.37-1.48 mg/ml, which was mainly composed of XOS with a low degree of polymerization (xylobiose and xylotriose). XOS derived from SMS-extracted xylan positively influenced the growth of probiotic bacteria, suggesting the prebiotic nature of XOS. The results indicated that XOS with prebiotic properties can be produced from SMS xylan using crude xylanases without any purification, which offers economic potential for food and feed applications.

Abstract
The capacity of different Bacillus species to produce large amounts of extracellular enzymes and ability to ferment various substrates at a wide range of pH and temperature has placed them among the most promising hosts for the industrial production of many improved and novel products. The global interest in prebiotics, for example, xylooligosaccharides (XOs) is ever increasing, rousing the quest for various forms with expanded productivity. This article provides an overview of xylanase producing bacilli, with more emphasis on their capacity to be used in the production of the XOs, followed by the purification strategies, characteristics and application of XOs from bacilli. The large-scale production of XOs is carried out from a number of xylan-rich lignocellulosic materials by chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis followed by purification through chromatography, vacuum evaporation, solvent extraction or membrane separation methods. Utilization of XOs in the production of functional products as food ingredients brings well-being to individuals by improving defense system and eliminating pathogens. In addition to the effects related to health, a variety of other biological impacts have also been discussed.

Multimodularity of a GH10 Xylanase Found in the Termite Gut Metagenome. Appl Environ Microbiol 2021; 87:AEM.01714-20. [PMID: 33187992 PMCID: PMC7848910 DOI: 10.1128/aem.01714-20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2020] [Accepted: 11/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Xylan is the major hemicellulosic polysaccharide in cereals and contributes to the recalcitrance of the plant cell wall toward degradation. Bacteroidetes, one of the main phyla in rumen and human gut microbiota, have been shown to encode polysaccharide utilization loci dedicated to the degradation of xylan. Here, we present the biochemical characterization of a xylanase encoded by a bacteroidetes strain isolated from the termite gut metagenome. The functional screening of a Pseudacanthotermes militaris termite gut metagenomic library revealed an array of xylan-degrading enzymes, including P. militaris 25 (Pm25), a multimodular glycoside hydrolase family 10 (GH10). Sequence analysis showed details of the unusual domain organization of this enzyme. It consists of one catalytic domain, which is intercalated by two carbohydrate binding modules (CBMs) from family 4. The genes upstream of the genes encoding Pm25 are susC-susD-unk, suggesting Pm25 is a Xyn10C-like enzyme belonging to a polysaccharide utilization locus. The majority of Xyn10C-like enzymes shared the same interrupted domain architecture and were vastly distributed in different xylan utilization loci found in gut Bacteroidetes, indicating the importance of this enzyme in glycan acquisition for gut microbiota. To understand its unusual multimodularity and the possible role of the CBMs, a detailed characterization of the full-length Pm25 and truncated variants was performed. Results revealed that the GH10 catalytic module is specific toward the hydrolysis of xylan. Ligand binding results indicate that the GH10 module and the CBMs act independently, whereas the tandem CBM4s act synergistically with each other and improve enzymatic activity when assayed on insoluble polysaccharides. In addition, we show that the UNK protein upstream of Pm25 is able to bind arabinoxylan. Altogether, these findings contribute to a better understanding of the potential role of Xyn10C-like proteins in xylan utilization systems of gut bacteria. IMPORTANCE Xylan is the major hemicellulosic polysaccharide in cereals and contributes to the recalcitrance of the plant cell wall toward degradation. Members of the Bacteroidetes, one of the main phyla in rumen and human gut microbiota, have been shown to encode polysaccharide utilization loci dedicated to the degradation of xylan. Here, we present the biochemical characterization of a xylanase encoded by a Bacteroidetes strain isolated from the termite gut metagenome. This xylanase is a multimodular enzyme, the sequence of which is interrupted by the insertion of two CBMs from family 4. Our results show that this enzyme resembles homologues that were shown to be important for xylan degradation in rumen or human diet and show that the CBM insertion in the middle of the sequence seems to be a common feature in xylan utilization systems. This study shed light on our understanding of xylan degradation and plant cell wall deconstruction, which can be applied to several applications in food, feed, and bioeconomy.

Abstract
Thermo-alkaline xylanases are widely applied in paper pulping industry. In this study, a novel thermostable and alkaline tolerant GH10 xylanase (Xyn30Y5) gene from alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. 30Y5 was cloned and the surface-layer homology (SLH) domains truncated enzyme (Xyn30Y5-SLH) was expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified Xyn30Y5-SLH was most active at 70 °C and pH 7.0 and showed the highest specific activity of 349.4 U mg-1. It retained more than 90% activity between pH 6.0 to 9.5 and was stable at pH 6.0-10.0. To improve the activity, 47 mutants were designed based on eight rational strategies and 21 mutants showed higher activity. By combinatorial mutagenesis, the best mutant 3B demonstrated specific activity of 1016.8 U mg-1 with a doubled catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) and RA601/2h value, accompanied by optimal pH shift to 8.0. The molecular dynamics simulation analysis indicated that the increase of flexibility of α5 helix and loop7 located near to the catalytic residues is likely responsible for its activity improvement. And the decrease of flexibility of the most unstable regions is vital for the thermostablity improvement. This work provided not only a novel thermostable and alkaline tolerant xylanase with industrial application potential but also an effective mutagenesis strategy for xylanase activity improvement.

Abstract
Neurospora crassa possesses six putative xylanases and four putative xylosidases. qRT-PCR results showed that the expression of all these xylanolytic enzymes was induced by xylan. Except for two intracellular β-xylosidases, others were shown to be secreted enzymes based on the localization analysis of EGFP-fusion proteins. Among them, GH10-1, GH10-2, GH11-1, and GH11-2 were successfully expressed and characterized as typical endo-β-1,4-xylanases that hydrolyze the xylooligosaccharides with a polymeric degree not less than three or four. Strains deleted for either gh10-1, gh10-2, gh3-7, or gh3-8 displayed decreased growth in xylan and biomass media. Disruption of gh3-7 or gh43-1 resulted in enhanced-xylanolytic enzyme activity when cultivated in biomass medium. Collectively, these results suggest that xylooligosaccharides released by the actions of xylanases and xylosidases not only serve as the carbon sources to maintain the growth of N. crassa, but they also act as inducers to trigger the expression of hydrolytic enzymes in vivo.

Abstract
A prerequisite for the transition toward a biobased economy is the identification and development of efficient enzymes for the usage of renewable resources as raw material. Therefore, different xylanolytic enzymes are important for efficient enzymatic hydrolysis of xylan-heteropolymers. A powerful tool to overcome the limited enzymatic toolbox lies in exhausting the potential of unexplored habitats. By screening a Vietnamese fungal culture collection of 295 undiscovered fungal isolates, 12 highly active xylan degraders were identified. One of the best xylanase producing strains proved to be an Aspergillus sydowii strain from shrimp shell (Fsh102), showing a specific activity of 0.6 U/mg. Illumina dye sequencing was used to identify our Fsh102 strain and determine differences to the A. sydowii CBS 593.65 reference strain. With activity based in-gel zymography and subsequent mass spectrometric identification, three potential proteins responsible for xylan degradation were identified. Two of these proteins were cloned from the cDNA and, furthermore, expressed heterologously in Escherichia coli and characterized. Both xylanases, were entirely different from each other, including glycoside hydrolases (GH) families, folds, substrate specificity, and inhibition patterns. The specific enzyme activity applying 0.1% birch xylan of both purified enzymes were determined with 181.1 ± 37.8 or 121.5 ± 10.9 U/mg for xylanase I and xylanase II, respectively. Xylanase I belongs to the GH11 family, while xylanase II is member of the GH10 family. Both enzymes showed typical endo-xylanase activity, the main products of xylanase I are xylobiose, xylotriose, and xylohexose, while xylobiose, xylotriose, and xylopentose are formed by xylanase II. Additionally, xylanase II showed remarkable activity toward xylotriose. Xylanase I is stable when stored up to 30°C and pH value of 9, while xylanase II started to lose significant activity stored at pH 9 after exceeding 3 days of storage. Xylanase II displayed about 40% activity when stored at 50°C for 24 h. The enzymes are tolerant toward mesophilic temperatures, while acting in a broad pH range. With site directed mutagenesis, the active site residues in both enzymes were confirmed. The presented activity and stability justify the classification of both xylanases as highly interesting for further development.

Transcriptomic analysis of a Clostridium thermocellum strain engineered to utilize xylose: responses to xylose versus cellobiose feeding. Sci Rep 2020; 10:14517.

Abstract
Clostridium (Ruminiclostridium) thermocellum is recognized for its ability to ferment cellulosic biomass directly, but it cannot naturally grow on xylose. Recently, C. thermocellum (KJC335) was engineered to utilize xylose through expressing a heterologous xylose catabolizing pathway. Here, we compared KJC335′s transcriptomic responses to xylose versus cellobiose as the primary carbon source and assessed how the bacteria adapted to utilize xylose. Our analyses revealed 417 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with log2 fold change (FC) >|1| and 106 highly DEGs (log2 FC >|2|). Among the DEGs, two putative sugar transporters, cbpC and cbpD, were up-regulated, suggesting their contribution to xylose transport and assimilation. Moreover, the up-regulation of specific transketolase genes (tktAB) suggests the importance of this enzyme for xylose metabolism. Results also showed remarkable up-regulation of chemotaxis and motility associated genes responding to xylose feeding, as well as widely varying gene expression in those encoding cellulosomal enzymes. For the down-regulated genes, several were categorized in gene ontology terms oxidation–reduction processes, ATP binding and ATPase activity, and integral components of the membrane. This study informs potentially critical, enabling mechanisms to realize the conceptually attractive Next-Generation Consolidated BioProcessing approach where a single species is sufficient for the co-fermentation of cellulose and hemicellulose.

Enzyme Microb Technol 2020; 139:109579. [PMID: 32732029 DOI: 10.1016/j.enzmictec.2020.109579] [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: 02/27/2020] [Revised: 03/31/2020] [Accepted: 04/14/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
Endo-β-1,4-xylanase from Thermotoga maritima, TmxB, is an industrially attractive enzyme due to its extreme thermostability. To improve its application value, four variants were designed on the basis of multiple sequence and three-dimensional structure alignments. Wild-type TmxB (wt-TmxB) and its mutants were produced via a Pichia pastoris expression system. Among four single-site mutants, the tyrosine substitution of a threonine residue (T74Y) at putative -3/-4 subsite led to a 1.3-fold increase in specific activity at 40 °C - 100 °C and pH 5 for 5 min, with beechwood xylan as the substrate. T74Y had an improved catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km), being 1.6 times that of wt-TmxB. Variants DY (two amino acid insertions) and N68Q displayed a slight increase (1.2 fold) and dramatic decline (1.7 fold) in catalytic efficiency, respectively. Mutant E67Y was totally inactive under all test conditions. Structural modeling and docking simulation elucidated structural insights into the molecular mechanism of activity changes for these TmxB variants. This study helps in further understanding the roles of the non-catalytic amino acids at the glycone subsites of xylanases from glycoside hydrolase family 10.

Potential applications of extracellular enzymes from Streptomyces spp. in various industries. Arch Microbiol 2020; 202:1597-1615. [PMID: 32451592 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-020-01898-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2020] [Revised: 04/14/2020] [Accepted: 05/11/2020] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
Extracellular enzymes produced from Streptomyces have the potential to replace toxic chemicals that are being used in various industries. The endorsement of this replacement has not received a better platform in developing countries. In this review, we have discussed the impact of chemicals and conventional practices on environmental health, and the role of extracellular enzymes to replace these practices. Burning of fossil fuels and agriculture residue is a global issue, but the production of biofuel using extracellular enzymes may be the single key to solve all these issues. We have discussed the replacement of hazardous chemicals with the use of xylanase, cellulase, and pectinase in food industries. In paper industries, delignification was done by the chemical treatment, but xylanase and laccase have the efficient potential to remove the lignin from pulp. In textile industries, the conventional method includes the chemicals which affect the nervous system and other organs. The use of xylanase, cellulase, and pectinase in different processes can give a safe and environment-friendly option to textile industries. Hazardous chemical pesticides can be replaced by the use of chitinase as an insecticide and fungicide in agricultural practices.

Abstract
Xylanolytic enzymes have a broad range of applications in industrial biotechnology as biocatalytic components of various processes and products, such as food additives, bakery products, coffee extraction, agricultural silage and functional foods. An increasing market demand has driven the growing interest for the discovery of xylanases with specific industrially relevant characteristics, such as stability at elevated temperatures and in the presence of other denaturing factors, which will facilitate their incorporation into industrial processes. In this work, we report the discovery and biochemical characterization of a new thermostable GH10 xylanase, termed XynDZ5, exhibiting only 26% amino acid sequence identity to the closest characterized xylanolytic enzyme. This new enzyme was discovered in an Icelandic hot spring enrichment culture of a Thermoanaerobacterium species using a recently developed bioinformatic analysis platform. XynDZ5 was produced recombinantly in Escherichia coli, purified and characterized biochemically. This analysis revealed that it acts as an endo-1,4-β-xylanase that performs optimally at 65–75°C and pH 7.5. The enzyme is capable of retaining high levels of catalytic efficiency after several hours of incubation at high temperatures, as well as in the presence of significant concentrations of a range of metal ions and denaturing agents. Interestingly, the XynDZ5 biochemical profile was found to be atypical, as it also exhibits significant exo-activity. Computational modeling of its three-dimensional structure predicted a (β/α)8 TIM barrel fold, which is very frequently encountered among family GH10 enzymes. This modeled structure has provided clues about structural features that may explain aspects of its catalytic performance. Our results suggest that XynDZ5 represents a promising new candidate biocatalyst appropriate for several high-temperature biotechnological applications in the pulp, paper, baking, animal-feed and biofuel industries.
