Abstract
The rhizosphere is the hotspot for microbial enzyme activities and contributes to carbon cycling. Precipitation is an important component of global climate change that can profoundly alter belowground microbial communities. However, the impact of precipitation on conifer rhizospheric microbial populations has not been investigated in detail. In the present study, using high-throughput amplicon sequencing, we investigated the impact of precipitation on the rhizospheric soil microbial communities in two Norway Spruce clonal seed orchards, Lipová Lhota (L-site) and Prenet (P-site). P-site has received nearly double the precipitation than L-site for the last three decades. P-site documented higher soil water content with a significantly higher abundance of Aluminium (Al), Iron (Fe), Phosphorous (P), and Sulphur (S) than L-site. Rhizospheric soil metabolite profiling revealed an increased abundance of acids, carbohydrates, fatty acids, and alcohols in P-site. There was variance in the relative abundance of distinct microbiomes between the sites. A higher abundance of Proteobacteria, Acidobacteriota, Ascomycota, and Mortiellomycota was observed in P-site receiving high precipitation, while Bacteroidota, Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, Gemmatimonadota, and Basidiomycota were prevalent in L-site. The higher clustering coefficient of the microbial network in P-site suggested that the microbial community structure is highly interconnected and tends to cluster closely. The current study unveils the impact of precipitation variations on the spruce rhizospheric microbial association and opens new avenues for understanding the impact of global change on conifer rizospheric microbial associations.

Abstract
Hemicelluloses are the second most abundant polysaccharide in plant biomass, in which xylan is the main constituent. Aiming at the total degradation of xylan and the obtention of fermentable sugars, several enzymes acting synergistically are required, especially β-xylosidases. In this study, β-xylosidase from Geobacillus thermodenitrificans (GtXyl) was expressed in E. coli BL21 and characterized. The enzyme GtXyl has been grouped within the family of glycoside hydrolases 43 (GH43). Results showed that GtXyl obtained the highest activity at pH 5.0 and temperature of 60 °C. In the additive's tests, the enzyme remained stable in the presence of metal ions and EDTA, and showed high tolerance to xylose, with a relative activity of 55.4% at 400 mM. The enzyme also presented bifunctional activity of β-xylosidase and α-l-arabinofuranosidase, with the highest activity on the substrate p-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylopyranoside. The specific activity on p-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylopyranoside was 18.33 U mg-1 and catalytic efficiency of 20.21 mM-1 s-1, which is comparable to other β-xylosidases reported in the literature. Putting together, the GtXyl enzyme presented interesting biochemical characteristics that are desirable for the application in the enzymatic hydrolysis of plant biomass, such as activity at higher temperatures, high thermostability and stability to metal ions.

Abstract
The complete degradation of abundant xylan derived from plants requires the participation of β-xylosidases to produce the xylose which can be converted to xylitol, ethanol, and other valuable chemicals. Some phytochemicals can also be hydrolyzed by β-xylosidases into bioactive substances, such as ginsenosides, 10-deacetyltaxol, cycloastragenol, and anthocyanidins. On the contrary, some hydroxyl-containing substances such as alcohols, sugars, and phenols can be xylosylated by β-xylosidases into new chemicals such as alkyl xylosides, oligosaccharides, and xylosylated phenols. Thus, β-xylosidases shows great application prospects in food, brewing, and pharmaceutical industries. This review focuses on the molecular structures, biochemical properties, and bioactive substance transformation function of β-xylosidases derived from bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, and metagenomes. The molecular mechanisms of β-xylosidases related to the properties and functions are also discussed. This review will serve as a reference for the engineering and application of β-xylosidases in food, brewing, and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Acidophilic β-xylanases have attracted considerable attention due to their excellent activity under extreme acidic environments and potential industrial utilizations. In this study, a novel β-xylanase gene (Xyl11) of glycoside hydrolase family 11, was cloned from Trichoderma asperellum ND-1 and efficiently expressed in Pichia pastoris (a 2.0-fold increase). Xyl11 displayed a maximum activity of 121.99 U/ml at pH 3.0 and 50°C, and exhibited strict substrate specificity toward beechwood xylan (Km = 9.06 mg/ml, Vmax = 608.65 μmol/min/mg). The Xyl11 retained over 80% activity at pH 2.0–5.0 after pretreatment at 4°C for 1 h. Analysis of the hydrolytic pattern revealed that Xyl11 could rapidly convert xylan to xylobiose via hydrolysis activity as well as transglycosylation. Moreover, the results of site-directed mutagenesis suggested that the Xyl11 residues, Glu127, Glu164, and Glu216, are essential catalytic sites, with Asp138 having an auxiliary function. Additionally, a high degree of synergy (15.02) was observed when Xyl11 was used in association with commercial β-xylosidase. This study provided a novel acidophilic β-xylanase that exhibits excellent characteristics and can, therefore, be considered a suitable candidate for extensive applications, especially in food and animal feed industries.

Abstract
As a promising feedstock, alkali-extracted xylan from lignocellulosic biomass is desired for producing xylose, which can be used for renewable biofuels production. In this study, an efficient pathway has been established for low-cost and high-yield production of xylose by hydrolysis of alkali-extracted xylan from agricultural wastes using an endo-1,4-xylanase (XYLA) from Bacillus safensis TCCC 111022 and a β-xylosidase (XYLO) from B. pumilus TCCC 11573. The optimum activities of recombinant XYLA (rXYLA) and XYLO (rXYLO) were 60 ℃ and pH 8.0, and 30 ℃ and pH 7.0, respectively. They were stable over a broad pH range (pH 6.0-11.0 and 7.0-10.0). rXYLO showed a relatively high xylose tolerance up to 100 mM. Furthermore, the yield of xylose from wheat straw, rice straw, corn stover, corncob and sugarcane bagasse by rXYLA and rXYLO was 63.77%, 71.76%, 68.55%, 53.81%, and 58.58%, respectively. This study demonstrated a strategy to produce xylose from agricultural wastes by integrating alkali-extracted xylan and enzymatic hydrolysis.

Abstract
Humicolagrisea var. thermoidea is an aerobic and thermophilic fungus that secretes the GH11 xylanase HXYN2 in the presence of sugarcane bagasse. In this study, HXYN2 was expressed in Pichiapastoris and characterized biochemically and structurally in the presence of beechwood xylan substrate and ferulic acid (FA). HXYN2 is a thermally stable protein, as indicated by circular dichroism, with greater activity in the range of 40–50 °C and pH 5.0–9.0, with optimal temperature and pH of 50 °C and 6.0, respectively. FA resulted in a 75% increase in enzyme activity and a 2.5-fold increase in catalytic velocity, catalytic efficiency, and catalytic rate constant (kcat), with no alteration in enzyme affinity for the substrate. Fluorescence quenching indicated that FA forms a complex with HXYN2 interacting with solvent-exposed tryptophan residues. The binding constants ranged from moderate (pH 7.0 and 9.0) to strong (pH 4.0) affinity. Isothermal titration calorimetry, structural models and molecular docking suggested that hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions occur in the aglycone region inducing conformational changes in the active site driven by initial and final enthalpy- and entropy processes, respectively. These results indicate a potential for biotechnological application for HXYN2, such as in the bioconversion of plant residues rich in ferulic acid.

Abstract
Two lignocellulolytic accessory enzymes, feruloyl esterase D (FAED_SCYTH) and β-xylosidase (XYL43B_SCYTH) were cloned and produced in the Pichia pastoris X33 as host. The molecular weight of recombinant enzymes FAED_SCYTH and XYL43B_SCYTH were ~ 31 and 40 kDa, respectively. FAED_SCYTH showed optimal activity at pH 6.0, 60 °C; and XYL43B_SCYTH at pH 7.0, 50 °C. FAED_SCYTH and XYL43B_SCYTH exhibited t1/2: 4 and 0.5 h, respectively (50 °C, pH 5.0). The β-xylosidase was bi-functional with pronounced activity against pNP-α-arabinofuranoside besides being highly xylose tolerant (retaining ~ 97% activity in the presence of 700 mM xylose). Cocktails prepared using these enzymes along with AA9 protein (PMO9D_SCYTH) and commercial cellulase CellicCTec2, showed improved hydrolysis of the pre-treated lignocellulosic biomass. Priming of pre-treated lignocellulosic biomass with these accessory enzymes was found to further enhance the hydrolytic potential of CellicCTec2 promising to reduce the enzyme load and cost required for obtaining sugars from biorefinery relevant pre-treated substrates.

Abstract
Humicola grisea var. thermoidea is a thermophilic ascomycete and important enzyme producer that has an efficient enzymatic system with a broad spectrum of thermostable carbohydrate-active (CAZy) enzymes. These enzymes can be employed in lignocellulose biomass deconstruction and other industrial applications. In this work, the genome of H. grisea var. thermoidea was sequenced. The acquired sequence reads were assembled into a total length of 28.75 Mbp. Genome features correlate with what was expected for thermophilic Sordariomycetes. The transcriptomic data showed that sugarcane bagasse significantly upregulated genes related to primary metabolism and polysaccharide deconstruction, especially hydrolases, at both pH 5 and pH 8. However, a number of exclusive and shared genes between the pH values were found, especially at pH 8. H. grisea expresses an average of 211 CAZy enzymes (CAZymes), which are capable of acting in different substrates. The top upregulated genes at both pH values represent CAZyme-encoding genes from different classes, including acetylxylan esterase, endo-1,4-β-mannosidase, exoglucanase, and endoglucanase genes. For the first time, the arsenal that the thermophilic fungus H. grisea var. thermoidea possesses to degrade the lignocellulosic biomass is shown. Carbon source and pH are of pivotal importance in regulating gene expression in this organism, and alkaline pH is a key regulatory factor for sugarcane bagasse hydrolysis. This work paves the way for the genetic manipulation and robust biotechnological applications of this fungus. IMPORTANCE Most studies regarding the use of fungi as enzyme producers for biomass deconstruction have focused on mesophile species, whereas the potential of thermophiles has been evaluated less. This study revealed, through genome and transcriptome analyses, the genetic repertoire of the biotechnological relevant thermophile fungus Humicola grisea. Comparative genomics helped us to further understand the biology and biotechnological potential of H. grisea. The results demonstrate that this fungus possesses an arsenal of carbohydrate-active (CAZy) enzymes to degrade the lignocellulosic biomass. Indeed, it expresses more than 200 genes encoding CAZy enzymes when cultivated in sugarcane bagasse. Carbon source and pH are key factors for regulating the gene expression in this organism. This work shows, for the first time, the great potential of H. grisea as an enzyme producer and a gene donor for biotechnological applications and provides the base for the genetic manipulation and robust biotechnological applications of this fungus.

Abstract
The fiber in corn kernels, currently unutilized in the corn to ethanol process, represents an opportunity for introduction of cellulose conversion technology. We report here that Clostridium thermocellum can solubilize over 90% of the carbohydrate in autoclaved corn fiber, including its hemicellulose component glucuronoarabinoxylan (GAX). However, Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum or several other described hemicellulose-fermenting thermophilic bacteria can only partially utilize this GAX. We describe the isolation of a previously undescribed organism, Herbinix spp. strain LL1355, from a thermophilic microbiome that can consume 85% of the recalcitrant GAX. We sequence its genome, and based on structural analysis of the GAX, identify six enzymes that hydrolyze GAX linkages. Combinations of up to four enzymes are successfully expressed in T. thermosaccharolyticum. Supplementation with these enzymes allows T. thermosaccharolyticum to consume 78% of the GAX compared to 53% by the parent strain and increases ethanol yield from corn fiber by 24%. Corn fiber is a difficult feedstock to utilize due to its recalcitrant hemicellulose. Here, the authors characterize the recalcitrant structures, isolate a new bacterium to consume the hemicellulose, identify its enzymes, and show the benefit with increased conversion of corn fiber to ethanol.

Abstract
Renewable fuels have gained importance as the world moves toward diversifying its energy portfolio. A critical step in the biomass-to-bioenergy initiative is deconstruction of plant cell wall polysaccharides to their unit sugars for subsequent fermentation to fuels. To acquire carbon and energy for their metabolic processes, diverse microorganisms have evolved genes encoding enzymes that depolymerize polysaccharides to their carbon/energy-rich building blocks. The microbial enzymes mostly target the energy present in cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin, three major forms of energy storage in plants. In the effort to develop bioenergy as an alternative to fossil fuel, a common strategy is to harness microbial enzymes to hydrolyze cellulose to glucose for fermentation to fuels. However, the conversion of plant biomass to renewable fuels will require both cellulose and hemicellulose, the two largest components of the plant cell wall, as feedstock to improve economic feasibility. Here, we explore the enzymes and strategies evolved by two well-studied bacteria to depolymerize the hemicelluloses xylan/arabinoxylan and mannan. The sets of enzymes, in addition to their applications in biofuels and value-added chemical production, have utility in animal feed enzymes, a rapidly developing industry with potential to minimize adverse impacts of animal agriculture on the environment.

β-Xylosidases: Structural Diversity, Catalytic Mechanism, and Inhibition by Monosaccharides. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20225524. [PMID: 31698702 PMCID: PMC6887791 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20225524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2019] [Revised: 11/02/2019] [Accepted: 11/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Xylan, a prominent component of cellulosic biomass, has a high potential for degradation into reducing sugars, and subsequent conversion into bioethanol. This process requires a range of xylanolytic enzymes. Among them, β-xylosidases are crucial, because they hydrolyze more glycosidic bonds than any of the other xylanolytic enzymes. They also enhance the efficiency of the process by degrading xylooligosaccharides, which are potent inhibitors of other hemicellulose-/xylan-converting enzymes. On the other hand, the β-xylosidase itself is also inhibited by monosaccharides that may be generated in high concentrations during the saccharification process. Structurally, β-xylosidases are diverse enzymes with different substrate specificities and enzyme mechanisms. Here, we review the structural diversity and catalytic mechanisms of β-xylosidases, and discuss their inhibition by monosaccharides.

Abstract
To increase the efficiency of enzyme cocktails in deconstructing cellulose and hemicelluloses present in the plant cell wall, a combination of enzymes with complementary activities is required. Xylan is the main hemicellulose component of energy crops and for its complete hydrolysis a system consisting of several enzymes acting cooperatively, including endoxylanases (XYN), β-xylosidases (XYL) and α-l-arabinofuranosidases (ABF) is necessary. The current work aimed at evaluating the effect of recombinant hemicellulolytic enzymes on the enzymatic hydrolysis of steam-exploded sugarcane bagasse (SEB). One recombinant endoxylanase (HXYN2) and one recombinant β-xylosidase (HXYLA) from Humicola grisea var thermoidea, together with an α-l-arabinofuranosidase (AFB3) from Penicillium pupurogenum, all produced in Pichia pastoris, were used to formulate an efficient enzyme mixture for SEB hydrolysis using a 23 Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD). The most potent enzyme for SEB hydrolysis was ABF3. Subsequently, the optimal enzyme mixture was used in combination with commercial cellulases (Accellerase 1500), either simultaneously or in sequential experiments. The supplementation of Accellerase 1500 with hemicellulases enhanced the glucose yield from SEB hydrolysis by 14.6%, but this effect could be raised to 50% when hemicellulases were added prior to hydrolysis with commercial cellulases. These results were supported by scanning electron microscopy, which revealed the effect of enzymatic hydrolysis on SEB fibers. Our results show the potential of complementary enzyme activities to improve enzymatic hydrolysis of SEB, thus improving the efficiency of the hydrolytic process.

Abstract
A GH43 bifunctional β-xylosidase encoding gene (XylRBM26) was cloned from Massilia sp. RBM26 and successfully expressed in Escherichia coli. Recombinant XylRBM26 exhibited β-xylosidase and α-l-arabinofuranosidase activities. When 4-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylopyranoside was used as a substrate, the enzyme reached optimal activity at pH 6.5 and 50°C and remained stable at pH 5.0-10.0. Purified XylRBM26 presented good salt tolerance and retained 96.6% activity in 3.5 M NaCl and 77.9% initial activity even in 4.0 M NaCl. In addition, it exhibited high tolerance to xylose with Ki value of 500 mM. This study was the first to identify and characterize NaCl-tolerant β-xylosidase/α-l-arabinofuranosidase from the gut microbiota. The enzyme's salt, xylose, and alkali stability and resistance to various chemicals make it a potential biocatalyst for the saccharification of lignocellulose, the food industry, and industrial processes conducted in sea water.

Abstract
Xylanases are hydrolytic enzymes which based on physicochemical properties, structure, mode of action and substrate specificities are classified into various glycoside hydrolase (GH) families. The purpose of this study is to show that the activity of the members of the xylanase family in the specified pH and temperature conditions can be computationally predicted. The proposed computational regression model was trained and tested with the Pseudo Amino Acid Composition (PseAAC) features extracted solely from the amino acid sequences of enzymes. The xylanases with experimentally determined activities were used as the training dataset to adjust the model parameters. To develop the model, 41 strains of Bacillus subtilis isolated from field soil were screened. From them, 28 strains with the highest halo diameter were selected for further studies. The performance of the model for prediction of xylanase activity was evaluated in three different temperature and pH conditions using stratified cross-validation and jackknife methods. The trained model can be used for determining the activity of newly found xylanases in the specified condition. Such computational models help to scale down the experimental costs and save time by identifying enzymes with appropriate activity for scientific and industrial usage. Our methodology for activity prediction of xylanase enzymes can be potentially applied to the members of the other enzyme families. The availability of sufficient experimental data in specified pH and temperature conditions is a prerequisite for training the learning model and to achieve high accuracy.

Abstract
Xylanases (EC 3.2.1.8) are hydrolytic enzymes, which randomly cleave the β-1,4-linked xylose residues from xylan. The synthetic gene xynBS27 from Streptomyces sp. S27 was successfully cloned and expressed in Pichia pastoris. The full-length gene consists of 729 bp and encodes 243 amino acids including 51 residues of a putative signal peptide. This enzyme was purified in two steps and was shown to have a molecular weight of 20 kDa. The purified r-XynBS27 was active against beechwood xylan and oat spelt xylan as expected for GH 11 family. The optimum pH and temperature values for the enzyme were 6.0 and 75 °C, respectively. The Km and Vmax were 12.38 mg/mL and 13.68 μmol min/mg, respectively. The r-XynBS27 showed high xylose tolerance and was inhibited by some metal ions and by SDS. r-XynBS27 was employed as an additive in the bread making process. A decrease in firmness, stiffness and consistency, and improvements in specific volume and reducing sugar content were recorded.
