Abstract
Miniaturized cultivation systems offer the potential to enhance experimental throughput in bioprocess development. However, they usually lack the miniaturized pumps necessary for fed-batch mode, which is commonly employed in industrial bioprocesses. An alternative are enzyme-mediated glucose release systems from starch-derived polymers, facilitating continuous glucose supply. Nevertheless, while the glucose release, and thus the feed rate, is controlled by the enzyme concentration, it also strongly depends on the type of starch derivative, and the culture conditions as well as pH and temperature. So far it was not possible to implement controlled feeding strategies (e.g., exponential feeding). In this context, we propose a model-based approach to achieve precise control over enzyme-mediated glucose release in cultivations. To this aim, an existing mathematical model was integrated into a computational framework to calculate setpoints for enzyme additions. We demonstrate the ability of the tool to maintain different pre-defined exponential growth rates during Escherichia coli cultivations in parallel mini-bioreactors integrated into a robotic facility. Although in this case study, the intermittent additions of enzyme and dextrin were performed by a liquid handler, the approach is adaptable to manual applications. Thus, we present a straightforward and robust approach for implementing defined continuous fed-batch processes in small-scale systems, where continuous feeding was only possible with low accuracy or high technical efforts until now.

Abstract
Bifunctional debranching-enzyme amylopullulanases belong to the glycoside hydrolases (GHs) family and catalyze both the hydrolysis of α-1,4 and α-1,6 glycosidic bonds in starch, pullulan, amylopectin and glycogen polysaccharides. Among these, especially thermostable ones are essential in starch processing applications. In this study, we focused to elucidate the complete sequence of the apu gene and the role of C-term domains on biochemical properties and enzyme activity of Thermoanaerobacter brockii brockii amylopullulanase (TbbApu). After the gene sequence was defined, C- term truncated variants were constructed. The most suitable host organism and expression vector were determined as E. coli BL21(DE3) and pET-28a(+) depending on the highest yield/biomass ratio for recombinant production of all constructs. It was seen that the expression yield increased approximately threefold in the case of the SH3 region truncation. In the biochemical characterization, TbbApu and its truncated variants exhibited maximum activity at 70 °C and 75 °C for pullulan and starch hydrolysis respectively, and the optimum pH of TbbApu were 6.5 and 6 for truncated variants. Moreover, hydrolysis activities of all recombinant enzymes were enhanced by Mn2+, Co2+ and Cu2+, detergents, and almost all organic solvents; except butanol, DMF and DMSO. All recombinant amylopullulanases remained 80% stable up to 80 °C in the wide range of pH and also retained > 85% stability in the presence of defined volatile organic solvents. No significant difference was observed between the raw starch adsorption capacity and the specific activity of the three variants. These results indicated that the C-terminal regions of TbbApu are non-essential for the enzyme activity, stability and substrate binding capacity; furthermore, hexane and acetone organic solvents enhanced both pullulanase and α-amylase activity of these enzymes, interestingly. With these features, TbbApu and its truncated variants are distinguished from other thermophilic amylopullulanases and also make them promising candidates for industrial use.

Abstract
This article surveys methods for the enzymatic conversion of starch, involving hydrolases and nonhydrolyzing enzymes, as well as the role of microorganisms producing such enzymes. The sources of the most common enzymes are listed. These starch conversions are also presented in relation to their applications in the food, pharmaceutical, pulp, textile, and other branches of industry. Some sections are devoted to the fermentation of starch to ethanol and other products, and to the production of cyclodextrins, along with the properties of these products. Light is also shed on the enzymes involved in the digestion of starch in human and animal organisms. Enzymatic processes acting on starch are useful in structural studies of the substrates and in understanding the characteristics of digesting enzymes. One section presents the application of enzymes to these problems. The information that is included covers the period from the early 19th century up to 2009.

Abstract
The gene fragment encoding the cellulose-binding domain (CBD) of an exoglucanase (Cex) from Cellulomonas fimi was subcloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Transcription from the lac promoter coupled with translation from a consensus prokaryotic ribosome binding site led to the production of large quantities of CBD(Cex) (up to 25% total soluble cell protein). The polypeptide leaked into the culture supernatant (up to 50 mg . L(-1)), facilitating one-step purification by affinity chromatography on cellulose. The 11-kDa polypeptide reacted with Cex antiserum. Absence of free thiols indicated that the two Cys residues of CBD(Cex) form a disulfide bridge. It had the same N-terminal amino acid sequence as CBD(Cex) prepared from Cex by proteolysis, plus two additional N-terminal amino acid residues (Ala and Ser) encoded by the Nhel site introduced during plasmid construction. CBD(Cex) bound to a variety of beta-1, 4-glycans with different affinities and saturation levels. Adsorption to bacterial microcrystalline cellulose was dependent on the temperature, but not on the pH.

Abstract
Starch-active enzymes often possess starch-binding domains (SBDs) mediating attachment to starch granules and other high molecular weight substrates. SBDs are divided into nine carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) families, and CBM20 is the earliest-assigned and best characterized family. High diversity characterizes CBM20s, which occur in starch-active glycoside hydrolase families 13, 14, 15, and 77, and enzymes involved in starch or glycogen metabolism, exemplified by the starch-phosphorylating enzyme glucan, water dikinase 3 from Arabidopsis thaliana and the mammalian glycogen phosphatases, laforins. The clear evolutionary relatedness of CBM20s to CBM21s, CBM48s and CBM53s suggests a common clan hosting most of the known SBDs. This review surveys the diversity within the CBM20 family, and makes an evolutionary comparison with CBM21s, CBM48s and CBM53s, discussing intrafamily and interfamily relationships. Data on binding to and enzymatic activity towards soluble ligands and starch granules are summarized for wild-type, mutant and chimeric fusion proteins involving CBM20s. Noticeably, whereas CBM20s in amylolytic enzymes confer moderate binding affinities, with dissociation constants in the low micromolar range for the starch mimic beta-cyclodextrin, recent findings indicate that CBM20s in regulatory enzymes have weaker, low millimolar affinities, presumably facilitating dynamic regulation. Structures of CBM20s, including the first example of a full-length glucoamylase featuring both the catalytic domain and the SBD, are summarized, and distinct architectural and functional features of the two SBDs and roles of pivotal amino acids in binding are described. Finally, some applications of SBDs as affinity or immobilization tags and, recently, in biofuel and in planta bioengineering are presented.

Abstract
The starch-binding domain of Bacillus sp. strain TS-23 alpha-amylase was introduced into the C-terminal end of Bacillus kaustophilus leucine aminopeptidase (BkLAP) to generate a chimeric enzyme (BkLAPsbd) with raw-starch-binding activity. BkLAPsbd, with an apparent molecular mass of approximately 65 kDa, was overexpressed in Escherichia coli M15 cells and purified to homogeneity by nickel-chelate chromatography. Native PAGE and chromatographic analyses revealed that the purified fusion protein has a hexameric structure. The half-life for BkLAPsbd was 12 min at 70 degrees C, while less than 20% of wild-type enzyme activity retained at the same heating condition. Compared with the wild-type enzyme, the 60% decrease in the catalytic efficiency of BkLAPsbd was due to a 91% increase in K (m) value. Starch-binding assays showed that the K (d) and B (max) values for the fusion enzyme were 2.3 microM and 0.35 micromol/g, respectively. The adsorption of the crude BkLAPsbd onto raw starch was affected by starch concentration, pH, and temperature. The adsorbed enzyme could be eluted from the adsorbent by 2% soluble starch in 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0). About 49% of BkLAPsbd in the crude extract was recovered through one adsorption-elution cycle with a purification of 11.4-fold.

Abstract
A laccase from the thermophilic fungus Melanocarpus albomyces was shown to bind to softwood and pure microcrystalline cellulose. The binding isotherm fitted well the Langmuir type one-site binding model. The adsorption parameters indicated that M. albomyces laccase binds with high affinity to cellulose with a relatively low maximum binding capacity, as compared to the values for various cellulases. The binding was shown to be reversible and not influenced by non-specific protein or 0.1-0.5 M Na2SO4. No binding was detected with laccases from Trametes hirsuta or Mauginiella sp., which suggests that binding to cellulose is typical for only some laccases.

Abstract
Porcine pancreatic alpha-amylase activity on native starch granules is more accurately described as a function of surface area of the granules rather than of substrate concentration. The apparent K(m) of alpha-amylolysis of native starch from potato, maize, and rice expressed as a function of substrate concentration was largest for potato with a single value of V(max). However, the ratio of the slope of a Lineweaver-Burk plot to that of rice for enzymatic hydrolysis of native potato and maize starch were 7.78 and 2.58, respectively, which were very close to the ratio of surface area per mass of the two starch granules to that of rice. Therefore, the reciprocal of initial velocity was a linear function of the reciprocal of surface area for each starch granule. Surface area was calculated assuming the starch granules were spherical. The values obtained by this calculation were in good agreement with the value obtained by the photomicrographic method. By comparing enzymatic digestion of native maize granules to that of rice granules, it was concluded that the presence of pores in maize granules appeared to significantly affect overall rate of digestion after sufficient reaction time, but not at the very initial stage of hydrolysis.

Abstract
To correlate structural features with glucoamylase properties, a structure-based multisequence alignment was constructed using information from catalytic and starch-binding domain models. The catalytic domain is composed of three hydrophobic folding units, the most labile and least hydrophobic of them being missing in the most stable glucoamylase. The role of O-glycosylation in stabilizing the most hydrophobic folding unit, the only one where thermostabilizing mutations with unchanged activity have been made, is described. Differences in both length and composition of interhelical loops are correlated with stability and selectivity characteristics. Two new glucoamylase subfamilies are defined by using homology criteria. Protein parsimony analysis suggests an ancient bacterial origin for the glucoamylase gene. Increases in length of the belt surrounding the active site, degree of O-glycosylation, and length of the linker probably correspond to evolutionary steps that increase stability and secretion levels of Aspergillus-related glucoamylases.

Abstract
The E-domain of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) (EC 2.4.1.19) from Bacillus circulans strain 251 is a putative raw starch binding domain. Analysis of the maltose-dependent CGTase crystal structure revealed that each enzyme molecule contained three maltose molecules, situated at contact points between protein molecules. Two of these maltoses were bound to specific sites in the E-domain, the third maltose was bound at the C-domain. To delineate the roles in raw starch binding and cyclization reaction kinetics of the two maltose binding sites in the E-domain, we replaced Trp-616 and Trp-662 of maltose binding site 1 and Tyr-633 of maltose binding site 2 by alanines using site-directed mutagenesis. Purified mutant CGTases were characterized with respect to raw starch binding and cyclization reaction kinetics on both soluble and raw starch. The results show that maltose binding site 1 is most important for raw starch binding, whereas maltose binding site 2 is involved in guiding linear starch chains into the active site. beta-Cyclodextrin causes product inhibition by interfering with catalysis in the active site and the function of maltose binding site 2 in the E-domain. CGTase mutants in the E-domain maltose binding site 1 could no longer be crystallized as maltose-dependent monomers. Instead, the W616A mutant CGTase protein was successfully crystallized as a carbohydrate-independent dimer; its structure has been refined to 2.2 A resolution. The three-dimensional structure shows that, within the error limits, neither the absence of carbohydrates nor the W616A mutation caused significant further conformational changes. The modified starch binding and cyclization kinetic properties observed with the mutant CGTase proteins thus can be directly related to the amino acid replacements.

Abstract
Microorganisms are efficient degraders of starch, chitin, and the polysaccharides in plant cell walls. Attempts to purify hydrolases led to the realization that a microorganism may produce a multiplicity of enzymes, referred to as a system, for the efficient utilization of a polysaccharide. In order to fully characterize a particular enzyme, it must be obtained free of the other components of a system. Quite often, this proves to be very difficult because of the complexity of a system. This realization led to the cloning of the genes encoding them as an approach to eliminating other components. More than 400 such genes have been cloned and sequenced, and the enzymes they encode have been grouped into more than 50 families of related amino acid sequences. The enzyme systems revealed in this manner are complex on two quite different levels. First, many of the individual enzymes are complex, as they are modular proteins comprising one or more catalytic domains linked to ancillary domains that often include one or more substrate-binding domains. Second, the systems are complex, comprising from a few to 20 or more enzymes, all of which hydrolyze a particular substrate. Systems for the hydrolysis of plant cell walls usually contain more components than systems for the hydrolysis of starch and chitin because the cell walls contain several polysaccharides. In general, the systems produced by different microorganisms for the hydrolysis of a particular polysaccharide comprise similar enzymes from the same families.

Abstract
The characterization is reported of two peptide fragments (SBD106 and SBD122) containing the starch-binding domain (SBD) of Aspergillus sp. glucoamylase I. The starch-binding peptides were produced in Escherichia coli as fusion proteins of the maltose-binding protein (MBP). SBD106 (11.9 kDa) and SBD122 (13.8 kDa) were purified from the factor Xa digest of MBP fusion proteins. The amino acid compositions were similar to those deduced from their amino acid sequences. The interactions of beta-cyclodextrin and maltoheptaose with purified SBD peptides were investigated by UV difference spectroscopy. SBD106 and SBD122 bound specifically beta-cyclodextrin with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 34 microM and 23.5 microM, respectively. Maltoheptaose binding to SBD106 and SBD122 was weaker than that of beta-cyclodextrin; dissociation constants were 0.57 and 0.50 mM, respectively. The results indicate that the intramolecular disulfide bonding is not required for the domain functioning and that O-glycosylation is not critical for the functioning of the starch-binding domain, but may affect its conformation and dynamics.
