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.
