Abstract
With the increasing incidence of problems related to gluten intolerance, many studies are being conducted to develop effective treatments and alternatives for gluten digestion. In this context, this study investigated peptidases produced by endophytic fungi isolated from cassava residues capable of hydrolyzing gluten. Twelve fungi were isolated, identified via DNA sequencing, and evaluated for their potential to produce peptidases with this potential. Sordariomycetes sp. (ST15) presented the highest specific peptidase activity to hydrolyze gluten, determined via fluorescence spectroscopy. Therefore, this fungus was selected to perform the optimization step of producing this peptidase. A composite rotational design with a central point (DCCR) was used to evaluate the influence of pH, temperature, and time on fermentation. The ideal conditions for producing the peptidase of interest were pH 5.2, 27 °C, and 11 days. According to the profile obtained via HPLC, the peptidase-enriched extract demonstrated significant gluten hydrolysis potential, efficiently breaking down gliadin and glutenin proteins within two hours of reaction. These findings highlight the potential of ST15 peptidase as a biocatalyst for gluten hydrolysis, offering a promising alternative for controlling gluten intolerance.
期刊介绍:
Enzyme and Microbial Technology is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research and reviews, of biotechnological significance and novelty, on basic and applied aspects of the science and technology of processes involving the use of enzymes, micro-organisms, animal cells and plant cells.
We especially encourage submissions on:
Biocatalysis and the use of Directed Evolution in Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology
Biotechnological Production of New Bioactive Molecules, Biomaterials, Biopharmaceuticals, and Biofuels
New Imaging Techniques and Biosensors, especially as applicable to Healthcare and Systems Biology
New Biotechnological Approaches in Genomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics
Metabolic Engineering, Biomolecular Engineering and Nanobiotechnology
Manuscripts which report isolation, purification, immobilization or utilization of organisms or enzymes which are already well-described in the literature are not suitable for publication in EMT, unless their primary purpose is to report significant new findings or approaches which are of broad biotechnological importance. Similarly, manuscripts which report optimization studies on well-established processes are inappropriate. EMT does not accept papers dealing with mathematical modeling unless they report significant, new experimental data.
