Sugarcane bagasse derived xylooligosaccharides produced by an arabinofuranosidase/xylobiohydrolase from Bifidobacterium longum in synergism with xylanases. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 339:122248. [PMID: 38823916 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122248] [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: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
Arabinoxylan is a major hemicellulose in the sugarcane plant cell wall with arabinose decorations that impose steric restrictions on the activity of xylanases against this substrate. Enzymatic removal of the decorations by arabinofuranosidases can allow a more efficient arabinoxylan degradation by xylanases. Here we produced and characterized a recombinant Bifidobacterium longum arabinofuranosidase from glycoside hydrolase family 43 (BlAbf43) and applied it, together with GH10 and GH11 xylanases, to produce xylooligosaccharides (XOS) from wheat arabinoxylan and alkali pretreated sugarcane bagasse. The enzyme synergistically enhanced XOS production by GH10 and GH11 xylanases, being particularly efficient in combination with the latter family of enzymes, with a degree of synergism of 1.7. We also demonstrated that the enzyme is capable of not only removing arabinose decorations from the arabinoxylan and from the non-reducing end of the oligomeric substrates, but also hydrolyzing the xylan backbone yielding mostly xylobiose and xylose in particular cases. Structural studies of BlAbf43 shed light on the molecular basis of the substrate recognition and allowed hypothesizing on the structural reasons of its multifunctionality.

Liu X, Gao F, Wang Y, Zhang J, Bai Y, Zhang W, Luo H, Yao B, Wang Y, Tu T. Characterization of a novel thermostable α-l-arabinofuranosidase for improved synergistic effect with xylanase on lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysis without prior pretreatment. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 394:130177. [PMID: 38072076 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.130177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2024]
Abstract
Utilizing thermostable enzymes in biomass conversion processes presents a promising approach to bypass pretreatment, garnering significant attention from the biorefinery industry. A novel discovered α-l-arabinofuranosidase, Abf4980, exhibits exceptional thermostability by maintaining full activity after 24 h of incubation at 70 °C. It effectively acts on polyarabinosides, cleaving α-1,2- and α-1,3-linked arabinofuranose side chains from water-soluble wheat arabinoxylan while releasing xylose. When synergistically combined with the thermostable bifunctional xylanase/β-glucanase CbXyn10C from Caldicellulosiruptor bescii at an enzyme-activity ratio of 6:1, Abf4980 achieves the highest degradation efficiency for wheat arabinoxylan. Furthermore, Abf4980 and CbXyn10C demonstrated remarkable efficacy in hydrolyzing unmodified wheat bran and corn cob to generate arabinose and xylooligosaccharides. This discovery holds promising opportunities for improving the efficiency of lignocellulosic biomass conversion into fermentable sugars.
