Abstract

The present study explored the optimization of exoglucanase production from waste cellulosic biomaterials using microbial cellulases, focusing on enhancing enzyme efficiency through mutagenesis techniques. Research illustrated the hyper-production and quantitative characterization of an exoglucanase from a thermophilic Aspergillus fumigatus strain via physical and chemical mutagenesis under optimized fermentation conditions. Physical mutagenesis via UV irradiation (15-min exposure) yielded the highest activity (96.57 U/mL), while chemical mutagenesis with ethyl methane sulfonates (250 µg/mL) resulted in 69.61 U/mL activity. Combined mutagenesis using EMS (250 µg/mL) concentration with 15-min UV exposure significantly enhanced exoglucanase production to 136.19 U/mL as compared to the native enzyme 52.46 U/mL. Among various cellulosic substrates, peanut shells exhibited superior suitability for exoglucanase production reaching a maximum activity of 202.41 U/mL. Fermentation parameters including pH, temperature, incubation period, and inoculum size were optimized, leading to a substantial increase in exoglucanase activity of 285.28 U/mL using response surface methodology followed by gel filtration chromatography. The mutant exoglucanase was characterized by its enhanced activities with a higher Vmax (0.6515) and lower Km (0.3142) than those of native enzyme. The characterization has confirmed the temperature and pH tolerance of the mutant enzyme, as well as its tolerance to metal ions and substrate concentrations. This study showed how mutagenesis-driven optimization could provide a means to enhance exoglucanase production from cellulosic biomass, with a rational insight toward enzyme kinetics and applications toward bioenergy generation.

期刊介绍: This journal is devoted to publishing the highest quality innovative papers in the fields of biochemistry and biotechnology. The typical focus of the journal is to report applications of novel scientific and technological breakthroughs, as well as technological subjects that are still in the proof-of-concept stage. Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology provides a forum for case studies and practical concepts of biotechnology, utilization, including controls, statistical data analysis, problem descriptions unique to a particular application, and bioprocess economic analyses. The journal publishes reviews deemed of interest to readers, as well as book reviews, meeting and symposia notices, and news items relating to biotechnology in both the industrial and academic communities. In addition, Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology often publishes lists of patents and publications of special interest to readers.
