Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop an endo-β-1,4-xylanase with high specificity for production of prebiotic xylooligosaccharides that optimally works at moderate temperature desirable to reduce the energy cost in the production process. RESULTS The xylB gene, encoding for a glycosyl hydrolase family 11 xylanase from a thermoresistant fungus, Aspergillus niger BCC14405 was expressed in a methylotrophic yeast P. pastoris KM71 in a secreted form. The recombinant XylB showed a high specific activity of 3852 and 169 U mg-1 protein on beechwood xylan and arabinoxylan, respectively with no detectable side activities against different forms of cellulose (Avicel Ò PH101 microcrystalline cellulose, phosphoric acid swollen cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose). The enzyme worked optimally at 45 °C, pH 6.0. It showed a specific cleavage pattern by releasing xylobiose (X2) as the major product from xylooligosaccharides (X3 to X6) substrates. The highest XOS yield of 708 mg g-1 substrate comprising X2, X3 and X6 was obtained from beechwood xylan hydrolysis. CONCLUSION The enzyme is potent for XOS production and for saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass.

Abstract
Plant biomass constitutes the main source of renewable carbon on the planet. Its valorization has traditionally been focused on the use of cellulose, although hemicellulose is the second most abundant group of polysaccharides on Earth. The main enzymes involved in plant biomass degradation are glycosyl hydrolases, and filamentous fungi are good producers of these enzymes. In this study, a new strain of Aspergillus niger was used for hemicellulase production under solid-state fermentation using wheat straw as single-carbon source. Physicochemical parameters for the production of an endoxylanase were optimized by using a One-Factor-at-a-Time (OFAT) approach and response surface methodology (RSM). Maximum xylanase yield after RSM optimization was increased 3-fold, and 1.41- fold purification was achieved after ultrafiltration and ion-exchange chromatography, with about 6.2% yield. The highest activity of the purified xylanase was observed at 50 °C and pH 6. The enzyme displayed high thermal and pH stability, with more than 90% residual activity between pH 3.0–9.0 and between 30–40 °C, after 24 h of incubation, with half-lives of 30 min at 50 and 60 °C. The enzyme was mostly active against wheat arabinoxylan, and its kinetic parameters were analyzed (Km = 26.06 mg·mL−1 and Vmax = 5.647 U·mg−1). Wheat straw xylan hydrolysis with the purified β-1,4 endoxylanase showed that it was able to release xylooligosaccharides, making it suitable for different applications in food technology.

Abstract
We investigated the properties of the low molecular weight thermo-alkali-stable and mercury ion-tolerant xylanase production from Thermomyces dupontii KKU-CLD-E2-3. The xylanase was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate, Sephadex G-100 and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography which resulted 27.92-fold purification specific activity of 56.19 U/mg protein and a recovery yield of 2.01%. The purified xylanase showed a molecular weight of 25 kDa by SDS-PAGE and the partial peptide sequence showed maximum sequence homology to the endo-1,4-β-xylanase. The optimum temperature and pH for its activity were 80 °C and pH 9.0, respectively. Furthermore, the purified xylanase can maintain more than 75% of the original activity in pH range of 7.0-10.0 after incubation at 4 °C for 24 h, and can still maintain more than 70% of original activity after incubating at 70 °C for 90 min. Our purified xylanase was activated by Cu2+ and Hg2+ up to 277% and 235% of initial activity, respectively but inhibited by Co2+, Ag+ and SDS at a concentration of 5 mM. The Km and Vmax values of beechwood xylan were 3.38 mg/mL and 625 µmol/min/mg, respectively. Furthermore, our xylanase had activity specifically to xylan-containing substrates and hydrolyzed beechwood xylan, and the end products mainly were xylotetraose and xylobiose. The results suggested that our purified xylanase has potential to use for pulp bleaching in the pulp and paper industry.

Abstract
In this study, an endo-1,4-β-xylanase was purified from wheat malt following the procedures of ammonium sulfate precipitation, cation-exchange chromatography, and two-step anion-exchange chromatography. The purified endo-1,4-β-xylanase had a specific activity of 3.94 u/mg, demonstrating a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of approximately 58,000 Da. After LC-MS/MS (Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry) identification, the purified enzyme had the highest matching degree with a GH10 (Glycoside Hydrolase 10) domain-containing protein from wheat, there were 23 match peptides with a score above the threshold and the prot-cover was 45.5%. The resulting purified enzyme was used to investigate its degradation ability on high viscosity wheat-derived water-extractable arabinoxylan (WEAX). Degradation experiments confirmed that the purified enzyme was a true endo-acting enzyme, which could degrade large WEAX into smaller WEAX. The average degree of polymerization (avDP) and the viscosity of WEAX decreased with the increasing reaction time. The enzyme could degrade a small amount of WEAX into arabinoxylan-oligosaccharides (AXOS) with a degree of polymerization of 2-6, but no monosaccharide was produced. The degradation occurred rapidly in the first 3.5 h and decreased with the further prolongation of reaction time.

Abstract
Fungal endo-β-1,4-xylanases (endo-xylanases) can hydrolyze xylan into xylooligosaccharides (XOS), and have potential biotechnological applications for the exploitation of natural renewable polysaccharides. In the current study, we aimed to screen and characterize an efficient fungal endo-xylanase from 100 natural humus-rich soil samples collected in Guizhou Province, China, using extracted sugarcane bagasse xylan (SBX) as the sole carbon source. Initially, 182 fungal isolates producing xylanases were selected, among which Trichoderma sp. strain TP3-36 was identified as showing the highest xylanase activity of 295 U/mL with xylobiose (X2) as the main product when beechwood xylan was used as substrate. Subsequently, a glycoside hydrolase family 11 endo-xylanase, TXyn11A, was purified from strain TP3-36, and its optimal pH and temperature for activity against beechwood xylan were identified to be 5.0 and 55 °C, respectively. TXyn11A was stable across a broad pH range (3.0-10.0), and exhibited strict substrate specificity, including xylan from beechwood, wheat, rye, and sugarcane bagasse, with Km and Vmax values of 5 mg/mL and 1250 μmol/mg min, respectively, toward beechwood xylan. Intriguingly, the main product obtained from hydrolysis of beechwood xylan by TXyn11A was xylobiose, whereas SBX hydrolysis resulted in both X2 and xylotriose. Overall, these characteristics of the endo-xylanase TXyn11A indicate several potential industrial applications.

Abstract
Here, we describe the metagenome composition of a microbial community in a hot spring sediment as well as a sequence-based and function-based screening of the metagenome for identification of novel xylanases. The sediment was collected from the Lobios Hot Spring located in the province of Ourense (Spain). Environmental DNA was extracted and sequenced using Illumina technology, and a total of 3.6 Gbp of clean paired reads was produced. A taxonomic classification that was obtained by comparison to the NCBI protein nr database revealed a dominance of Bacteria (93%), followed by Archaea (6%). The most abundant bacterial phylum was Acidobacteria (25%), while Thaumarchaeota (5%) was the main archaeal phylum. Reads were assembled into contigs. Open reading frames (ORFs) predicted on these contigs were searched by BLAST against the CAZy database to retrieve xylanase encoding ORFs. A metagenomic fosmid library of approximately 150,000 clones was constructed to identify functional genes encoding thermostable xylanase enzymes. Function-based screening revealed a novel xylanase-encoding gene (XynA3), which was successfully expressed in E. coli BL21. The resulting protein (41 kDa), a member of glycoside hydrolase family 11 was purified and biochemically characterized. The highest activity was measured at 80 °C and pH 6.5. The protein was extremely thermostable and showed 94% remaining activity after incubation at 60 °C for 24 h and over 70% remaining activity after incubation at 70 °C for 24 h. Xylanolytic activity of the XynA3 enzyme was stimulated in the presence of β-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol and Fe3+ ions. HPLC analysis showed that XynA3 hydrolyzes xylan forming xylobiose with lower proportion of xylotriose and xylose. Specific activity of the enzyme was 9080 U/mg for oat arabinoxylan and 5080 U/mg for beechwood xylan, respectively, without cellulase activity.

Abstract
Increased demand of enzymes for industrial use has led the scientists towards protein engineering techniques. In different protein engineering strategies, rational approach has emerged as the most efficient method utilizing bioinformatics tools to produce enzymes with desired reaction kinetics; physiochemical (temperature, pH, half life, etc) and biological (selectivity, specificity, etc.) characteristics. Xylanase is one of the widely used enzymes in paper and food industry to degrade xylan component present in plant pulp. In this study endo 1,4-β-xylanase (Xyl-11A) from Bacillus halodurans C-125 was cloned in pET-22b (+) vector and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) expression strain. The enzyme had Michaelis constant Km of 1.32 mg ml-1 birchwoodxylan (soluble form) and maximum reaction velocity (Vmax) 73.53 mmol min-1 mg-1 with an optimum temperature of 75 °C and pH 9.0. The thermostability analysis showed that enzyme retained more than 80% of its residual activity when incubated at 75 °C for 2 h. In addition, to increase Xyl-11A thermostability, an in-silico analysis was performedto identify the hot spot amino acid residues. Consensus-based amino acid substitution was applied to evaluate multiple sequence alignment of homologs and identified 20 amino acids positions by following Jensen-Shnnon Divergence method. 3D models of 20 selected mutants were analyzed for conformational transition in protein structures by using NMSim server. Two selected mutants T6K and I17M of Xyl-11A retained 40, 60% residual activity respectively, at 85 °C for 120 min as compared to wild type enzyme which retained 37% initial activity under same conditions, confirming the enhanced thermostability of mutants. The present study showed a good approach for the identification of promising amino acid residues responsible for enhancing the thermostability of enzymes of industrial importance.

Abstract
Human rhinovirus 3C protease (HRV 3C protease) is commonly used as a tool to remove fusion tags from recombinant proteins in gene engineering due to its distinguished specificity and high activity at low temperature. This paper is aimed to simplify the strategy of removing epitope tags from target proteins with HRV 3C protease. Fusion proteins composed of a xylanase from Bacillus sp. HBP8 (xylHB) and double tags (MBP/Nus and 6×His, with an HRV 3C protease recognition site between them) were applied as substrates. To perform the cleavage and purification, strains expressing HRV 3C protease and the substrates were mixed before (co-fermentation method) or after (post-fermentation method) inducing with IPTG, followed by cell disruption and incubation at 4℃, overnight for cleavage. The soluble cytoplasmic fraction was added to Ni-NTA resin to recover the cleaved target protein. Because the process was carried out in the cell lysate, it was named as cell lysate purification system based on HRV 3C protease (CLP3C). Our data indicated small number of cells expressing HRV 3C protease was enough to remove the fusion tags efficiently with both co-fermentation and post-fermentation methods. More importantly, the tags were cleaved precisely with no obvious non-specific degradation to the target protein. Hence, active xylanase was recovered easily with this strategy.

Abstract
Endoglucanase is one of the most important enzymes of the cellulase group. Endoglucanase are involved in the catalytic hydrolysis of cellulose and plays a pivotal role in different sectors like pharmaceutical, textile, detergent, and food processing as well as paper and pulp industry. With consumers getting more and more aware of environmental issues, industries find enzymes as a better option over other chemical catalysts. In the current research different thermophilic fungal strains were isolated from the different sources. Qualitative screening was carried out on the basis of cellulose hydrolysis zone. The quantitative screening was carried out employing solid state fermentation. The fungal culture, showing highest EG potential was selected identified and assigned the code Aspergillus fumigatus BBT2. Different fermentation media were evaluated and M 2 containing wheat bran gave maximum EG production. The maximal enzyme productivity was recorded in 72 hours, 40°C, pH 5, inoculum size 1.5ml, and moisture content (1:1). Glucose (1%) and peptone (1%) were optimized as best carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aromatic residues of xylanase enzyme, W187, Y124, W144, Y128 and W63 of substrate binding pocket from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens were investigated for their role in substrate binding by homology modelling and sequence analysis. These residues are highly conserved and play an important role in substrate binding through steric hindrance. The substitution of these residues with alanine allows the enzyme to accommodate nonspecific substrates. RESULTS Wild type and mutated genes were cloned and overexpressed in BL21. Optimum pH and temperature of rBAxn exhibited pH 9.0 and 50 °C respectively and it was stable up to 215 h. Along with the physical properties of rBAxn, kinetic parameters (Km 19.34 ± 0.72 mg/ml; kcat 6449.12 ± 155.37 min- 1 and kcat/Km 333.83 ± 6.78 ml min- 1 mg- 1) were also compared with engineered enzymes. Out of five mutations, W63A, Y128A and W144A lost almost 90% activity and Y124A and W187A retained almost 40-45% xylanase activity. CONCLUSIONS The site-specific single mutation, led to alteration in substrate specificity from xylan to CMC while in case of double mutant the substrate specificity was altered from xylan to CMC, FP and avicel, indicating the role of aromatic residues on substrate binding, catalytic process and overall catalytic efficiency.

Abstract
Clostridium cellulovorans produces multi-enzyme complexes called cellulosomes capable of efficiently degrading cellulosic biomass. There are three xylanase genes containing a sequence corresponding to a dockerin domain that are necessary for constructing cellulosomes in the genome. Among the xylanases encoded by these genes, xylanase B (XynB) contains a catalytic domain belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 10 and a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) at the N-terminus, making it a member of CBM family 22. In this study, XynB was cloned, overexpressed, purified and crystallized. XynB was crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method in the presence of 0.2 M sodium acetate trihydrate, 0.1 M Tris-HCl pH 8.5, 32%(w/v) PEG 4000 at 293 K. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the crystal diffracted to 1.95 Å resolution and belonged to space group P212121, with unit-cell parameters a = 74.28, b = 77.55, c = 88.20 Å, α = β = γ = 90°. The data-evaluation statistics revealed high quality of the collected data, thereby establishing a solid basis for determination of the structure of cellulosomal xylanase from C. cellulovorans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Bacillus subtilis spore has long been used to display antigens and enzymes. Spore display can be accomplished by a recombinant and a non-recombinant approach, with the latter proved more efficient than the recombinant one. We used the non-recombinant approach to independently adsorb two thermophilic enzymes, GH10-XA, an endo-1,4-β-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius, and GH3-XT, a β-xylosidase (EC 3.2.1.37) from Thermotoga thermarum. These enzymes catalyze, respectively, the endohydrolysis of (1-4)-β-D-xylosidic linkages of xylans and the hydrolysis of (1-4)-β-D-xylans to remove successive D-xylose residues from the non-reducing termini. RESULTS We report that both purified enzymes were independently adsorbed on purified spores of B. subtilis. The adsorption was tight and both enzymes retained part of their specific activity. When spores displaying either GH10-XA or GH3-XT were mixed together, xylan was hydrolysed more efficiently than by a mixture of the two free, not spore-adsorbed, enzymes. The high total activity of the spore-bound enzymes is most likely due to a stabilization of the enzymes that, upon adsorption on the spore, remained active at the reaction conditions for longer than the free enzymes. Spore-adsorbed enzymes, collected after the two-step reaction and incubated with fresh substrate, were still active and able to continue xylan degradation. The recycling of the mixed spore-bound enzymes allowed a strong increase of xylan degradation. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that the two-step degradation of xylans can be accomplished by mixing spores displaying either one of two required enzymes. The two-step process occurs more efficiently than with the two un-adsorbed, free enzymes and adsorbed spores can be reused for at least one other reaction round. The efficiency of the process, the reusability of the adsorbed enzymes, and the well documented robustness of spores of B. subtilis indicate the spore as a suitable platform to display enzymes for single as well as multi-step reactions.

Abstract
Geobacillus thermodenitrificans AK53 xyl gene encoding xylanase was isolated, cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. After purifying recombinant xylanase from G. thermodenitrificans AK53 (GthAK53Xyl) to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation and ion exchange chromatography, biochemical properties of the enzyme were determined. The kinetic studies for GthAK53Xyl showed K M value to be 4.34 mg/mL (for D-xylose) and V max value to be 2028.9 μmoles mg–1 min–1. The optimal temperature and pH for enzyme activity were found out to be 70°C and 5.0, respectively. The expressed protein showed the highest sequence similarity with the xylanases of G. thermodenitrificans JK1 (JN209933) and G. thermodenitrificans T-2 (EU599644). Metal cations Mg2+ and Mn2+ were found to be required for the enzyme activity, however, Co2+, Hg2+, Fe2+ and Cu2+ ions caused inhibitor effect on it. GthAK53Xyl had no cellulolytic activity and degraded xylan in an endo-fashion. The action of the enzyme on xylan from oat spelt produced xylobiose and xylopentose. The reported results are suggestive of a xylanase exhibiting desirable kinetics, stability parameters and metal resistance required for the efficient production of xylobiose at industrial scale.

Abstract
In this study, a co-production of two high value-added products, glucose and xylooligosaccharides (XOS), was investigated by utilizing sugarcane bagasse (SB) within a multi-product bio-refinery framework optimized by Box-Behnken design-based response surface methodology. The developed process resulted in a maximum cellulose conversion of xylan-removed SB, 98.69±1.30%, and a maximum extracted SB xylan conversion into XOS (xylobiose and xylotriose) of 57.36±0.79% that was the highest SB xylan conversion reported in the literature, employing cellulase from Penicillium oxalicum EU2106 and recombinant endo-β-1,4-xylanase in Pichia pastoris. Consequently, a mass balance analysis showed that the maximum yields of glucose and XOS were 34.43±0.32g and 5.96±0.09 g per 100 g raw SB. Overall, this described process may be a preferred option for the comprehensive utilization of SB.

Abstract
The ability of the Trichoderma reesei X3AB1strain enzyme preparations to convert cellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars is enhanced by the replacement of xyn3 by Aspergillus aculeatus β-glucosidase 1 gene (aabg1), as shown in our previous study. However, subsequent experiments using T. reesei extracts supplemented with the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 10 xylanase III (XYN III) and GH Family 11 XYN II showed increased conversion of alkaline treated cellulosic biomass, which is rich in xylan, underscoring the importance of XYN III. To attain optimal saccharifying potential in T. reesei, we constructed two new strains, C1AB1 and E1AB1, in which aabg1 was expressed heterologously by means of the cbh1 or egl1 promoters, respectively, so that the endogenous XYN III synthesis remained intact. Due to the presence of wild-type xyn3 in T. reesei E1AB1, enzymes prepared from this strain were 20-30% more effective in the saccharification of alkaline-pretreated rice straw than enzyme extracts from X3AB1, and also outperformed recent commercial cellulase preparations. Our results demonstrate the importance of XYN III in the conversion of alkaline-pretreated cellulosic biomass by T. reesei.

Abstract
In order to reduce the ecotoxicity of paper mill, four different enzymatic pretreatment strategies were investigated in comparison to conventional chemical based processes. In strategy I, xylanase-aided pretreatment of pulp was carried out, and in strategy II, xylanase and laccase-mediator systems were used sequentially. Moreover, to compare the efficiency of Bacillus stearothermophilus xylanase and Ceriporiopsis subvermispora laccase in the reduction of ecotoxicity and pollution, parallel strategies (III and IV) were implemented using commercial enzymes. Conventional CDEOPD1D2 (CD, Cl2 with ClO2; EOP, H2O2 extraction; D1 and D2, ClO2) and X/XLCDEOPD1D2 (X, xylanase; L, laccase) sequences were employed with non-enzymatic and enzymatic strategies, respectively. Acute toxicity was determined by the extent of inhibition of bioluminescence of Vibrio fischeri with different dilutions of the effluent. Two-fold increase was observed in EC50 values for strategy I compared to the control process. On the other hand, sequential application of commercial enzymes resulted in higher acute toxicity compared to lab enzymes. In comparison to the control process, strategy II was the most efficient and successfully reduced 60.1 and 25.8% of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and color of effluents, respectively. We report for the first time the comparative analysis of the ecotoxicity of industrial effluents.

Abstract
Alkalophilic Cellulosimicrobium cellulans CKMX1 isolated from mushroom compost is first report on actinomycetes that has the ability to produce thermostable cellulase-free xylanase, which is an important industrial enzyme used in the pulp and paper industry. Strain CKMX1 was characterized by metabolic fingerprinting, whole-cell fatty acids methyl ester analysis and 16Sr DNA and found to be C. cellulans CKMX1.The enzyme was purified by gel permeation and anion exchange chromatography and had a molecular mass of 29 kDa. Xylanase activity was optimum at pH 8.0 and 55 °C. The enzyme was somewhat thermostable, retaining 50 % of the original activity after incubation at 50 °C for 30 min. The xylanase had K m and V max values of 2.64 mg/ml and 2,000 µmol/min/mg protein in oat spelt xylan, respectively. All metal ions except HgCl2, CoCl2 as well as CdCl2 were well tolerated and did not adversely affect xylanase activity. The deduced internal amino acid sequence of C. cellulans CKMX1 xylanase by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry resembled the sequence of β-1,4-endoxylanase, which is a member of glycoside hydrolase family 11. Some of the novel characteristics that make this enzyme potentially effective in xylan biodegradation could be useful for pulp and paper biobleaching are discussed in this manuscript.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Xylanases have attracted much attention because of their potential applications. Unfortunately, the commercialization of xylanases is limited by their low catalytic activities. The aim of this study was to improve the activity of a xylanase by optimization of the expression conditions and to investigate its characterization. RESULTS The activity of recombinant AuXyn11A (reAuXyn11A), a family 11 xylanase from Aspergillus usamii E001 expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115, reached 912.6 U mL⁻¹ under the optimized conditions, which was 2.14 times as high as that expressed using the standard protocol. After the endogenous 18-aa propeptide had been processed in P. pastoris, reAuXyn11A (188-aa mature peptide) was secreted and purified with a specific activity of 22 714 U mg⁻¹. It displayed maximum activity at pH 5 and 50 °C and was stable in the pH range 4-8 and at a temperature of 45 °C or below. Its activity was not significantly affected by most metal ions and EDTA. Xylooligosaccharides ranging from xylobiose (X2) to xylohexaose (X6) were produced from insoluble corncob xylan by reAuXyn11A. CONCLUSION Its high specific activity and good enzymatic properties suggest that reAuXyn11A is a potential candidate for applications in industrial processes.

Abstract
Under the conditions of submerged cultivation in a medium containing microcrystalline cellulose, the Cerrena unicolor VKM F-3196 basidiomycete is capable of producing xylanase and cellulase. Electrophoretically homogeneous cellulase and xylanase were obtained using ion exchange and hydrophobic chromatography. The molecular weight of both cellulase and xylanase was -44 kDa. It was shown that xylanase catalyzed the hydrolysis of xylan with the production of xylose, xylobiose, and xylotetrose and it exhibited properties of endoxylanases. Cellulase hydrolyzed carboxymethylcellulose, xylan, and microcrystalline cellulose with the formation of cellotriose and cellotetraose. For both enzymes, the pH optimum was -4.0. The enzymes exhibited moderate thermostability: xylanase retained 35% of the initial activity for an hour at 60 degrees C; cellulase, 10% under the same conditions. Xylanase, cellulose, and a mixture of these enzymes saccharified plant material (wheat, rye, wheat middling, and oat), indicating the possible use of these enzymes in biotechnology.

Abstract
Purified bacterial cellulase and xylanase were activated in the presence of calcium hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (NP) with concomitant increase in thermostability about 35% increment in production of d-xylose and reducing sugars from rice husk and rice straw was obtained at 80°C by the sequential treatment of xylanase and cellulase enzymes in the presence of NP compared to the untreated enzyme sets. Our findings suggested that if the rice husk and the rice straw samples were pre-treated with xylanase prior to treatment with cellulase, the percentage increase of reducing sugar per 100g of substrate (starting material) was enhanced by about 29% and 41%, respectively. These findings can be utilized for the extraction of reducing sugars from cellulose and xylan containing waste material. The purely enzymatic extraction procedure can be substituted for the harsh and bio-adverse chemical methods.

Abstract
Xylanases are a group of depolymerizing enzymes often used for the hydrolysis of xylan (present in hemicellulose) to monomeric sugars and comprise endo-xylanases (EC 3.2.1.8) and beta-xylosidases (EC 3.2.1.37). They often act in synergy with other enzymes for complete hydrolysis of hemicellulose. Xylanases find several industrial applications, for example in food and feed industries, paper and pulp industries and more recently have acquired a great role in biomass to biofuels program. Bacteria and fungi can best produce xylanases. Recent developments in rDNA technology have resulted in molecular cloning and expression of xylanases in heterologous and homologous hosts. In view of significance of the actinomycetes for the production of biotechnological products, attempts have been made in recent years to explore them for the production of industrial enzymes, including xylanses, aiming to find the enzyme with novel features. This review provides the state-of-art information and developments on the xylanases from actinomycetes, presenting the production, purification, characterization and over-expression from various actinomycetes cultures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development in the deinking process has made recycled fiber a major part of the raw material for pulp and paper industry. Enzymes have revolutionized the deinking process obtaining brightness levels surpassing conventional deinking processes. This study explores the deinking efficiencies of bacterial alkalophilic laccase (L) and xylanase (X) enzymes along with physical deinking methods of microwaving (MW) and sonication (S) for recycling of old newsprint (ONP). METHODS AND RESULTS The operational parameters viz. enzyme dose, pH and treatment time for X and L deinking were optimized statistically using Response Surface Methodology. Laccase did not require any mediator supplementation for deinking. Deinking of ONP pulp with a combination of xylanase and laccase enzymes was investigated, and fiber surface composition and morphological changes were studied using X-ray diffraction, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Compared to the pulp deinked with xylanase (47.9%) or laccase (62.2%) individually, the percentage reduction of effective residual ink concentration (ERIC) was higher for the combined xylanase/laccase-deinked pulp (65.8%). An increase in brightness (21.6%), breaking length (16.5%), burst factor (4.2%) tear factor (6.9%), viscosity (13%) and cellulose crystallinity (10.3%) along with decrease in kappa number (22%) and chemical consumption (50%) were also observed. Surface appeared more fibrillar along with changes in surface functional groups. A combination of physical and enzymatic processes (S-MW-XL) for deinking further improved brightness (28.8%) and decreased ERIC (73.9%) substantially. CONCLUSION This is the first report on deinking of ONP with laccase without any mediator supplementation. XL pretreatment resulted in marked improvement in paper quality and a new sequence being reported for deinking (S-MW-XL) will contribute further in decreasing chemical consumption and making the process commercially feasible.

Abstract
In recent decades, xylanases have been used in many processing industries. This study describes the xylanase production by Penicillium glabrum using brewer's spent grain as substrate. Additionally, this is the first work that reports the purification and characterization of a xylanase using this agroindustrial waste. Optimal production was obtained when P. glabrum was grown in liquid medium in pH 5.5, at 25 °C, under stationary condition for six days. The xylanase from P. glabrum was purified to homogeneity by a rapid and inexpensive procedure, using ammonium sulfate fractionation and molecular exclusion chromatography. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed one band with estimated molecular mass of 18.36 kDa. The optimum activity was observed at 60 °C, in pH 3.0. The enzyme was very stable at 50 °C, and high pH stability was verified from pH 2.5 to 5.0. The ion Mn(2+) and the reducing agents β -mercaptoethanol and DTT enhanced xylanase activity, while the ions Hg(2+), Zn(2+), and Cu(2+) as well as the detergent SDS were strong inhibitors of the enzyme. The use of brewer's spent grain as substrate for xylanase production cannot only add value and decrease the amount of this waste but also reduce the xylanase production cost.

Abstract
Background The pollen coat is the first structure of the pollen to encounter the mucosal immune system upon inhalation. Prior characterizations of pollen allergens have focused on water-soluble, cytoplasmic proteins, but have overlooked much of the extracellular pollen coat. Due to washing with organic solvents when prepared, these pollen coat proteins are typically absent from commercial standardized allergenic extracts (i.e., “de-fatted”), and, as a result, their involvement in allergy has not been explored. Methodology/Principal Findings Using a unique approach to search for pollen allergenic proteins residing in the pollen coat, we employed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to assess the impact of organic solvents on the structural integrity of the pollen coat. TEM results indicated that de-fatting of Cynodon dactylon (Bermuda grass) pollen (BGP) by use of organic solvents altered the structural integrity of the pollen coat. The novel IgE-binding proteins of the BGP coat include a cysteine protease (CP) and endoxylanase (EXY). The full-length cDNA that encodes the novel IgE-reactive CP was cloned from floral RNA. The EXY and CP were purified to homogeneity and tested for IgE reactivity. The CP from the BGP coat increased the permeability of human airway epithelial cells, caused a clear concentration-dependent detachment of cells, and damaged their barrier integrity. Conclusions/Significance Using an immunoproteomics approach, novel allergenic proteins of the BGP coat were identified. These proteins represent a class of novel dual-function proteins residing on the coat of the pollen grain that have IgE-binding capacity and proteolytic activity, which disrupts the integrity of the airway epithelial barrier. The identification of pollen coat allergens might explain the IgE-negative response to available skin-prick-testing proteins in patients who have positive symptoms. Further study of the role of these pollen coat proteins in allergic responses is warranted and could potentially lead to the development of improved diagnostic and therapeutic tools.

Abstract
Rumen fungi are a rich source of enzymes degrading lignocelluloses. XynR8 is a glycosyl hydrolase family 11 xylanase previously cloned from unpurified rumen fungal cultures. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that xynR8 was obtained from a Neocallimastix species. Recombinant XynR8 expressed in Escherichia coli was highly active and stable between pH 3.0 and 11.0, and displayed a V(max) of 66,672μmolmin(-1)mg(-1), a k(cat) of 38,975s(-1), and a K(m) of 11.20mg/mL towards soluble oat spelt xylan. Based on molecular modeling, residues N41 and N58, important in stabilizing two loops and the structure of XynR8, were mutated to D. Both mutant enzymes showed higher tolerance to pH 2.0. The V(max), k(cat) and K(m) of the N41D and N58D mutant enzymes were 79,645μmolmin(-1)mg(-1), 46,493s(-1), 29.29mg/mL, and 96,689μmolmin(-1)mg(-1), 56,503s(-1), and 21.24mg/mL, respectively. Thus, they are good candidates for application, including biofuel production.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to evaluate the potential of grape stalks, an agroindustrial waste, for growth and lignocellulolytic enzyme production via solid-state fermentation, using the following three white rot fungi: Trametes trogii, Stereum hirsutum and Coriolus antarcticus. The decolorization of several dyes by the above mentioned cultures was also investigated. Similar values of dry weight loss of the substrate were measured after 60 days (33-43 %). C. antarcticus produced the highest laccase and Mn-peroxidase activities (33.0 and 1.6 U/g dry solid). The maximum endoglucanase production was measured in S. hirsutum cultures (10.4 U/g), while the endoxylanase peak corresponded to T. trogii (14.6 U/g). The C. antarcticus/grape stalk system seems potentially competitive in bioremediation of textile processing effluents, attaining percentages of decolorization of 93, 86, 82, 82, 77, and 58% for indigo carmine, malachite green, azure B, remazol brilliant blue R, crystal violet and xylidine, respectively, in 5 h.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This paper reports the purification of xylanase using the shortest, sensitive ELP [KV8F-20]. METHODS We designed a thermophilic xylanase gene, and recombined it with the ELP via a random coil sequence to generate the vector pET-22b-SoxB-M2-S-ELP. The expressed xylanase was purified by inverse transition cycling through high-speed centrifugation, and then we characterized the purified xylanase. RESULTS The phase transition temperature of the ELPs dropped to 22 degrees C with 0.5 mol/L sodium carbonate (pH = 7). Under this condition, SoxB-M2-S-ELP was purified by 3.16 folds after centrifugation. The recovery rate was 21.2%, and purity of the xylanase was 64.3%. CONCLUSION Elastin-like polypeptide as a purification tag to purify recombinant proteins is simple, fast, gentle and cheaper. The expression vector we constructed here might be a very useful and reliable tool to purify many other target proteins.

Abstract
A crude endo-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger BCC14405 was investigated for its potential in pre-bleaching of chemical pulp from eucalyptus. The optimal fermentation conditions on the basis of optimization using response surface methodology included cultivation in a complex medium comprising wheat bran, rice bran, and soybean meal supplemented with yeast extract, glucose, peptone, and lactose with a starting pH of 6.0 for 7 d. This resulted in production of 89.5 IU/mL of xylanase with minor cellulase activity. Proteomic analysis using LC/MS/MS revealed that the crude enzyme was a composite of hemicellulolytic enzymes, including endo-β-1,4-xylanase and other hemicellulolytic enzymes attacking arabinoxylan and mannan. Pretreatment of the pulp at a xylanase dosage of 10 IU/g increased the brightness ceiling after the C-Eop-H bleaching step up to 3.0% using a chlorine charge with a C-factor of 0.16-0.20. Xylanase treatment also led to reduction in chlorine charge of at least 20%, with an acceptable brightness level. The enzyme pretreatment resulted in a slight increase in pulp viscosity, suggesting an increase in relative cellulose content. The crude enzyme was potent in the enzyme-aided bleaching of chemical pulp in an environmentally friendly pulping process.

Abstract
An extracellular xylanase from the fermented broth of Bacillus cereus BSA1 was purified and characterized. The enzyme was purified to 3.43 fold through ammonium sulphate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography and followed by gel filtration through Sephadex G-100 column. The molecular mass of the purified xylanse was about 33 kDa. The enzyme was an endoxylanase as it initially degraded xylan to xylooligomers. The purified enzyme showed optimum activity at 55 degrees C and at pH 7.0 and remained reasonably stable in a wide range ofpH (5.0-8.0) and temperature (40-65 degrees C). The Km and Vmax values were found to be 8.2 mg/ml and 181.8 micromol/(min mg), respectively. The enzyme had no apparent requirement ofcofactors, and its activity was strongly inhibited by Cu++, Hg++. It was also a salt tolerant enzyme and stable upto 2.5 M of NaCl and retained its 85% activity at 3.0 M. For stability and substrate binding, the enzyme needed hydrophobic interaction that revealed when most surfactants inhihited xylanase activity. Since the enzyme was active over wide range ofpH, temperature and remained active in higher salt concentration, it could find potential uses in biobleaching process in paper industries.

Abstract
A microbial community was selected for growth on dried and NaOH-treated switchgrass. During a 14-day liquid cultivation, a 70% loss in dry weight was observed during the first 4 days and after 14 days, the hemicellulose and cellulose in the system were degraded by 73.5% and 67.3%, respectively. The carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) and xylanase levels reached 0.21 and 3.75 IU, respectively. The optimal pH for CMCase and xylanase activities was 5 and 6, respectively. The optimal reaction temperature of CMCase and xylanase was 60°C. A library of bacterial and fungal ribosomal gene sequences obtained from the community showed the presence of Achromobacter xylosoxidans and Alcaligenes faecalis and of Fusarium sporotrichioides. To our knowledge, this was the first report on a microbial community selected in the presence of switchgrass to produce extracellular cellulases and xylanases.

Abstract
Procedures for the production of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase have been developed. An active producer-Rhizopus var. microsporus BKMF-595-has been chosen, and the conditions of surface and submerged cultivation, as well as the composition of the culture medium for this strain, have been optimized to ensure maximum yield of the target enzyme. Activity of xylomicrosporin Px equaled 123 U/g, while the activity of xylomicrosporin Gx equaled 25 U/cm3. Homogeneous enzyme preparations, purified 59.44-fold and 72.6-fold, have been obtained. The dependence of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase catalytic activity on temperature and pH of the reaction medium has been studied. The enzyme has been shown to be most stable in the pH range 5.0-6.0 and to be thermostable. Amino acid composition and subunit structure of the enzyme were determined; the molecular masses of the subunits equaled 50 and 56 kDa. Carboxyl groups of glutamic and aspartic acid residues of the active center were experimentally shown to play an important role in catalysis. The potential of this enzyme for beer production has been demonstrated.

Abstract
Two xylanases, MFX I and MFX II, from the thermophilic fungus Malbranchea flava MTCC 4889 with molecular masses of 25.2 and 30kDa and pIs of 4.5 and 3.7, respectively were purified to homogeneity. The xylanases were optimally active at pH 9.0 and at 60 degrees C, exhibited a half-life of 4h at 60 degrees C, and showed distinct mode of action and product profiles when applied to birchwood, oat spelt, and larchwood xylan, and to wheat and rye arabinoxylan. The xylanases were most active on larchwood xylan with K(m) values of 1.25 and 3.7mg/ml. K(cat)/K(m) values suggested that the xylanases preferentially hydrolyzed rye arabinoxylan. LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry) analysis of tryptic digests of MFX I and MFX II revealed similarity with known fungal xylanases and suggests that that they belonged to the GH 11 and 10 glycosyl hydrolase super families, respectively. These xylanases can potentially be used in enzyme-assisted bleaching of the pulp derived from agro-residues, as well as production of xylooligosaccharides for pre-biotic functional food applications.

Abstract
The effects of solid substrates, initial moisture content, moistening medium, temperature and incubation time on xylanase production by Aspergillus niger DFR-5 was studied and the highest activity (2596 IU/g dry substrate (gds)) was achieved in medium that contained wheat bran (WB) and soybean cake (SBC) at a ratio of 70:30, was moistened to 70% with MSS-2 mineral salt solution, and incubated for 6 days at 40 degrees C. Water at 37 degrees C was suitable for efficient recovery of enzyme from moldy WB-SBC medium. The extraction parameters for xylanase were optimized with respect to minimum volume of extractant using a central composite rotatable design (CCRD). The maximum recovery of xylanase (4465+/-52 IU/gds) with 92.5% desirability was obtained employing water (10 ml/gds) as extractant at 200 rpm for 60 min. The result shows that an overall 5.4-fold increase in xylanase production was obtained in concentrated form by optimizing medium components and extraction conditions.

Abstract
This study presents data on the production, purification, and properties of a thermostable β-xylanase produced by an Aspergillus awamori 2B.361 U2/1 submerged culture using wheat bran as carbon source. Fractionation of the culture filtrate by membrane ultrafiltration followed by Sephacryl S-200 and Q-Sepharose chromatography allowed for the isolation of a homogeneous xylanase (PXII-1), which was 32.87 kDa according to MS analysis. The enzyme-specific activity towards soluble oat spelt xylan, which was found to be 490 IU/mg under optimum reaction conditions (50°C and pH 5.0-5.5), was 17-fold higher than that measured in the culture supernatant. Xylan reaction products were identified as xylobiose, xylotriose, and xylotetraose. K (m) values (mg ml(-1)) for soluble oat spelt and birchwood xylan were 11.8 and 9.45, respectively. Although PXII-1 showed 85% activity retention upon incubation at 50 °C and pH 5.0 for 20 days, incubation at pH 7.0 resulted in 50% activity loss within 3 days. PXII-1 stability at pH 7.0 was improved in the presence of 20 mM cysteine, which allowed for 85% activity retention for 25 days. This study on the production in high yields of a remarkably thermostable xylanase is of significance due to the central role that this class of biocatalyst shares, along with cellulases, for the much needed enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass. Furthermore, stable xylanases are important for the manufacture of paper, animal feed, and xylooligosaccharides.

Abstract
To characterize the xylanase from Bacillus sp. YJ6, broth after 4 days incubation at 25 degrees C was collected and purified to electrophoretical homogeneity after Sephacryl S-100 HR chromatograph. About 3.5% recovery and 678.1 purification fold were achieved. The purified xylanase, with a Mw of 19 kDa, had an optimal pH and temperature at 5.0 and 50 degrees C, respectively, and was stable at pH 5.0-9.0 or <50 degrees C. It was inhibited by Cu2+, Fe3+, Hg2+, phenylmethyl sulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), N-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (TPCK), N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), and leupeptin but activated by K+, Na+, Co2+, Mg2+, beta-mercaptoethanol (beta-ME), and glutathione (GSH). The purified xylanase had high specificity to beechwood, birchwood, and oat spelt xylans. The DNA fragment encoding this xylanase, corresponding to 213 amino acids, exhibited about 95% homology with seven strains of Bacillus in the NCBI database.

Abstract
Two distinct xylanases from Pseudozyma hubeiensis NCIM 3574 were purified to homogeneity. The molecular masses of two native xylanases were 33.3 kDa (PhX33) and 20.1 kDa (PhX20). PhX33 is predominant with alpha-helix and PhX20 contained predominantly beta-sheets. Xylanase, PhX33, possesses three tryptophan and one carboxyl residues at the active site. The active site of PhX20 comprises one residue each of tryptophan, carboxyl and histidine. Carboxyl residue is mainly involved in catalysis and tryptophane residues are solely involved in substrate binding. Histidine residue present at the active site of PhX20 appeared to have a role in substrate binding. Both the xylanases produced only xylooligosaccharides (XOS) with degree of polymerization (DP) 3-7 without formation of xylose and xylobiose. These XOS could be used in functional foods or as prebiotics. Lc ms-ms ion search of tryptic digestion of these xylanases revealed that there is no significant homology of peptides with known fungal xylanase sequences which indicate that these xylanases appear to be new.

Abstract
The role of residues Asp60, Tyr35 and Glu141 in the pH-dependent activity of xylanase XYL1p from Scytalidium acidophilum was investigated by site-directed mutagenesis. These amino acids are highly conserved among the acidophilic family 11 xylanases and located near the catalytic site. XYL1p and its single mutants D60N, Y35W and E141A and three combined mutants DN/YW, DN/EA and YW/EA were over-expressed in Pichia pastoris and purified. Xylanase activities at different pH's and temperatures were determined. All mutations increased the pH optimum by 0.5-1.5 pH units. All mutants have lower specific activities except the E141A mutant that exhibited a 50% increase in specific activity at pH 4.0 and had an overall catalytic efficiency higher than the wild-type enzyme. Thermal unfolding experiments show that both the wild-type and E141A mutant proteins have a T(m) maximum at pH 3.5, the E141A mutant being slightly less stable than the wild-type enzyme. These mutations confirm the importance of these amino acids in the pH adaptation. Mutant E141A with its enhanced specific activity at pH 4.0 and improved overall catalytic efficiency is of possible interest for biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Trichoderma sp. K9301 secreting endoxylanases with an activity of 2836 U/g (dry weight) was screened for XOs production. Two acidic beta-endoxylanases EX1 (30.1 kDa) and EX2 (20.1 kDa) were purified from crude extract of the strain K9301 in solid fermentation. Action modes of EX1 and EX2 towards XOs showed similar hydrolysis characters to endoxylanases belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family 10 and 11, respectively. EX1 exhibited better affinity but lower hydrolytic efficiency than EX2 to xylans from beechwood, birchwood, and oat-spelt. They had synergistic action on xylan hydrolysis. The optimum condition to prepare XOs from corncobs was obtained as 10 mg/ml corncob xylan incubated with 10 U/mg crude enzymes at 50 degrees C for 3 h. The yield of XOs reached 43.3%, and only a little amount of xylose (3.1%) was simultaneously produced, suggesting the good potential of strain K9301 in XOs production.

Abstract
An endo-beta-1,4-xylanase (beta-xylanase) from Trichoderma harzianum C4 was purified without cellulase activity by sequential chromatographies. The specific activity of the purified enzyme preparation was 430 units/mg on D-xylan. The complementary DNA (cDNA) encoding beta-xylanase (xynII) was amplified by PCR and isolated from cDNA PCR libraries constructed from T. harzianum C4. The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA fragment contained an open reading frame of 663 bp that encodes 221 amino acids, of which the mature protein is homologous to several beta- xylanases II. An intron of 63 bp was identified in the genomic DNA sequence of xynII. This gene was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains under the control of adh1 (alcohol dehydrogenase I) and pgk1 (phosphoglycerate kinase I) promoters in 2 mu-based plasmids, which could render recombinants able to secrete beta-xylanase into the media.

Abstract
The improvement of xylanase production by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum S2 using a liquid fermentation culture was investigated. The optimized process was divided into three basic steps: (i) evaluating xylanase inducers using different agricultural residues such as wheat bran, oat bran, orange peel and barley bran at 1% final concentration, and also filter paper. Among these, wheat bran showed the maximum activity (2.5 U/ml) at 12 days post-inoculation; (ii) for optimization, we determined the optimal concentration of inducer, the effect of phosphate anion (K2HPO4/KH2PO4) and culture aeration using a rotary shaker at 100 and 180 rpm. The optimal conditions for these three factors were determined in an experimental panel using factorial data, in which a mathematical model (Minitab software) was fitted; (iii) The optimized culture medium containing a high level of wheat bran (3%) without KH2PO4-K2HPO4 and submitted to a high agitation (180 rpm/min) increased the xylanase production from 2.5 U/ml to 4 U/ml (1.6-fold).

Abstract
A xylanase gene, xynBS27, was cloned from Streptomyces sp. S27 and consisted of 693 bp encoding a 230-residue protein, including a putative 41-residue signal peptide. Belonging to the glycoside hydrolase family 11, XynBS27 exhibits the maximum identity (75.9%) to the xylanase from Streptomyces sp. zxy19. Recombinant XynBS27 was overexpressed in Pichia pastoris, and the xylanase activity was 7624.0 U/ml after high-cell-density fermentation in 3.7-L fermenter. The purified recombinant XynBS27 had a high specific activity of 3272.0 U/mg. The optimum temperature and pH for XynBS27 activity was 65 degrees C and pH 6.5, respectively. XynBS27 showed good pH stability and retained more than 80% of the maximum activity after incubation in buffers with pH ranging between 4.0 and 12.0 at 37 degrees C for 1 h. The main hydrolysis product of xylan by XynBS27 was xylobiose (>75%), which was good for human health derived from its ability to modulate the intestinal function. The attractive biochemical characteristics of XynBS27 suggest that it may be a good candidate in a variety of industrial applications.

Abstract
The purification and characterization of xylanase from Aspergillus ficuum AF-98 were investigated in this work. The extracellular xylanase from this fungal was purified 32.6-fold to homogeneity throughout the precipitation with 50-80% (NH(4))(2)SO(4), DEAE-Sephadex A-50 ion exchange chromatography and Sephadex G-100 chromatography. The purified xylanase (specific activity at 288.7 U/ mg protein) was a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 35.0 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE. The optimal temperature and pH for the action of the enzyme were at 45 degrees C and 5.0, respectively. The xylanase was activated by Cu(2+) up to 115.8% of activity, and was strongly inhibited by Hg(2+), Pb(2+) up to 52.8% and 89%, respectively. The xylanase exhibited K(m) and V(max) values of 3.267 mg/mL, 18.38 M/min/mg for beechwood xylan and 3.747 mg/mL, 11.1M/min/mg for birchwood xylan, respectively.

Abstract
The cellulosome of Clostridium thermocellum is a highly organized multi-enzyme complex of cellulases and hemicellulases involved in the hydrolysis of plant cell-wall polysaccharides. The bifunctional multi-modular xylanase Xyn10B is one of the hemicellulase components of the C. thermocellum cellulosome. The enzyme contains an internal glycoside hydrolase family 10 catalytic domain (GH10) and a C-terminal family 1 carbohydrate esterase domain (CE1). The N-terminal moiety of Xyn10B (residues 32-551), comprising a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM22-1) and the GH10 E337A mutant, was crystallized in complex with xylohexaose. The crystals belong to the trigonal space group P3(2)21 and contain a dimer in the asymmetric unit. The crystals diffracted to beyond 2.0 A resolution.

Abstract
Significant increases in the depolymerization of corn stover cellulose by cellobiohydrolase I (Cel7A) from Trichoderma reesei were observed using small quantities of non-cellulolytic cell wall-degrading enzymes. Purified endoxylanase (XynA), ferulic acid esterase (FaeA), and acetyl xylan esterase (Axe1) all enhanced Cel7A performance on corn stover subjected to hot water pretreatment. In all cases, the addition of these activities improved the effectiveness of the enzymatic hydrolysis in terms of the quantity of cellulose converted per milligram of total protein. Improvement in cellobiose release by the addition of the non-cellulolytic enzymes ranged from a 13-84% increase over Cel7A alone. The most effective combinations included the addition of both XynA and Axe1, which synergistically enhance xylan conversions resulting in additional synergistic improvements in glucan conversion. Additionally, we note a direct relationship between enzymatic xylan removal in the presence of XynA and the enhancement of cellulose hydrolysis by Cel7A.

Abstract
The gene SfXyn10, which encodes a protease-resistant xylanase, was isolated using colony PCR screening from a genomic library of a feather-degrading bacterial strain Streptomyces fradiae var. k11. The full-length gene consists of 1,437 bp and encodes 479 amino acids, which includes 41 residues of a putative signal peptide at its N terminus. The amino acid sequence shares the highest similarity (80%) to the endo-1,4-beta-xylanase from Streptomyces coelicolor A3, which belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family 10. The gene fragment encoding the mature xylanase was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The recombinant protein was purified to homogeneity by acetone precipitation and anion-exchange chromatography, and subsequently characterized. The optimal pH and temperature for the purified recombinant enzyme were 7.8 and 60 degrees , respectively. The enzyme showed stability over a pH range of 4-10. The kinetic values on oat spelt xylan and birchwood xylan substrates were also determined. The enzyme activity was enhanced by Fe2+ and strongly inhibited by Hg2+ and SDS. The enzyme also showed resistance to neutral and alkaline proteases. Therefore, these characteristics suggest that SfXyn10 could be an important candidate for protease-resistant mechanistic research and has potential applications in the food industry, cotton scouring, and improving animal nutrition.

Abstract
The complete gene xyn// that encodes endo-1,4-beta-xylanase secreted by Aspergillus usamii E001 was cloned and sequenced. The coding region of the gene is separated by only one intron. It encodes 184 amino acid residues of a protein with a calculated molecular weight of 19.8kDa plus a signal peptide of 27 amino acids. The amino acid sequence of the xyn// gene has higher similarity with those of family 11 of glycosyl hydrolases reported from other microorganisms. The mature peptide encoding cDNA was subcloned into pET-28a(+) expression vector. The recombinant plasmid was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21-CodonPlus (DE3)-RIL, and xylanase activity was measured. The expressed fusion protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and a new specific band with molecular weight of about 20kDa was found when induced by IPTG. Enzyme activity assay verified the recombinant protein as a xylanase. A maximum activity of 49.6Umg(-1) was obtained from cellular extract of E. coli BL21-CodonPlus (DE3)-RIL harboring pET-28a-xyn//. The xylanase had optimal activity at pH 4.6 and 50 degrees C. This is the first report on the cloning of a xylanase gene from A. usamii.

Abstract
AIMS To optimize the solid-state cultivation conditions for xylanase production using agriresidues and testing the biobleaching efficiency of xylanase on nonwoody plant fibre materials. METHODS AND RESULTS An extracellular cellulase free xylanase was produced from Bacillus subtilis C 01 using various inexpensive substrates under solid-state cultivation. High level of xylanase production (135 IU gds(-1)) was observed when grown on wheat bran followed by maize powder (50 IU gds(-1)). The maximum xylanase (136 IU gds(-1)) production was occurred in wheat bran-to-moisture ratio of 1 : 1 at 72 h. The xylanase pretreated pulp samples of banana, silk cotton and cotton showed an increased brightness of 19.6, 11.6 and 7.9%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The enzyme-aided biobleaching results indicate that the xylanase has potential application in enhancing the brightness of nonwoody plant fibre pulp. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This is the first report on biobleaching of banana fibres, silk cotton and cotton pulps using xylanase. The biobleaching results of secondary fibres are promising and can be transferred to paper mills, which utilize nonwoody plant fibres as a raw material for paper production.

Abstract
Extracellular enzymes from Lentinus edodes M290 on normal woods (Quercus mongolica) and waste logs from oak mushroom production were comparatively investigated. Endoglucanase, cellobiohydrolase, beta-glucosidase, and xylanase activities were higher on waste mushroom logs than on normal woods after L. edodes M290 inoculation. Xylanase activity was especially different, with a three times higher activity on waste mushroom logs. When the waste mushroom logs were used as a carbon source, a new 35 kDa protein appeared. After the purification, the optimal pH and temperature for xylanase activity were determined to be 4.0 and 50 degrees C, respectively. More than 50% of the optimal xylanase activity was retained when the temperature was increased from 20 to 60 degrees C, after a 240 min reaction. At 40 degrees C, the xylanase maintained 93% of the optimal activity, after a 240 min reaction. The purified xylanase showed a very high homology to the xylanase family 10 from Aspergillus terreus by LC/MS-MS analysis. The highest Xcorr (1.737) was obtained from the peptide KWI SQGIPIDGIG SQTHLGSGGS WTVK originated from Aspergillus terreus, indicating that the 35 kDa protein was xylanase. This protein showed low homology to a previously reported L. edodes xylanase sequence.

Abstract
The main enzymes involved in xylan-backbone hydrolysis are endo-1,4-beta-xylanase and beta-xylosidase. beta-Xylosidase converts the xylo-oligosaccharides produced by endo-1,4-beta-xylanase into xylose monomers. The beta-xylosidase from the thermophilic Geobacillus thermoleovorans IT-08, a member of glycoside hydrolase family 43, was crystallized at room temperature using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Two crystal forms were observed. Bipyramid-shaped crystals belonging to space group P4(3)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 62.53, c = 277.4 A diffracted to 1.55 A resolution. The rectangular crystals belonged to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 57.94, b = 142.1, c = 153.9 A, beta = 90.5 degrees , and diffracted to 1.80 A resolution.
