Abstract
Xylanase is extensively employed in the food, feed, and paper sectors, with those derived from extreme environments offering distinct advantages. This study identified a novel xylanase gene (designated xynaes) through metagenomic analysis of samples from Aiting Lake, Xinjiang, China. Cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli after PCR amplification. The recombinant protein was purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography XynAES demonstrated optimal activity at pH 8.0 and 65 °C, its half-life (T1/2) was 120 min. XynAES preserved over 80 % residual activity after 12 h in pH 6.0–9.0 buffer. Its activity was enhanced to 132 % and 135 % in the presence of 1 mM Mg2+ and Zn2+, respectively. Additionally, XynAES maintained over 60 % relative activity in 0–3.0 M NaCl and its Km and Vmax of XynAES were determined to be 3.23 mg/mL and 72.46 μmol/min/mg, respectively. It is worth noting that the main products of XynAES enzymatic hydrolysis of xylan are xylose disaccharides and xylose tetrasaccharides, and XynAES shows obvious activity against the pre-treated wheat bran. In summary, XynAES is a thermophilic, alkali-tolerant, and salt-resistant xylanase, signifying its potential applications in the feed, food baking, paper manufacturing, and prebiotic production industries.
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.
