Abstract
Xylanases have wide applications in agro-industrial processes. This study reports the discovery and characterization of a novel thermo-acid/alkali-stable GH10 xylanase (BsXynA) from Bacillus safensis L7. The xylanase gene (BsxynA) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), yielding a protein of approximately 64 kDa. BsXynA exhibited optimal activity (17.33 U/mg) on beechwood xylan at pH 6.0 and 60°C. Moreover, BsXynA exhibited remarkable thermo-acid/alkali stability, retaining over 60 % activity at pH 5.0–8.0 after 60 min at 60°C and over 80 % activity after 14 days at 4°C within pH 6.0–9.0. Additionally, the enzyme tolerated 50°C and various chemicals, with a half-life of over 16 days. It was activated by K⁺, Na⁺, Ca²⁺, Ba²⁺, and Mg²⁺ ions but inhibited by Zn²⁺, Cu²⁺, and SDS. BsXynA hydrolyzed various xylans but not glucose-based polysaccharides. Km, Vmax, kcat, and kcat/Km for beechwood xylan hydrolysis were found to be 6.61 mg/mL, 24.24 µmol·min−1·mg−1, 15.71 s−1, and 2.38 mL·s−1·mg−1 respectively. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis showed that BsXynA is an endo-type xylanase, which hydrolyzes beechwood xylan to produce mainly xylobiose (X2) and xylotetraose (X4), with no xylose detected. Furthermore, BsXynA improved animal feed saccharification, making it a promising biocatalyst for biotechnological applications.
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.
