Abstract
The xylanase gene (xynTF16) from a thermophilic bacterium Geobacillus sp. TF16 was cloned into pET-28a(+) vector and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)pLysS. Recombinant enzyme (GsXynTF16) was purified 52-fold by nickel affinity chromatography, and determined as a single band 39.8 kDa on SDS-PAGE with a specific activity of 246 U/mg protein. The recombinant enzyme was immobilized on chitosan with a yield of 85.6%. The enzyme showed the highest activity towards xylan. The immobilized enzyme displayed an increase in optimum temperature from 55 to 65 °C in comparison with free enzyme. While the free enzyme was optimally active at pH 8.5, immobilized enzyme showed higher activity in the pH range 6.0–8.5. Thermal and pH stability of immobilized enzyme was determined to be higher than that of the free enzyme. Immobilized xylanase could be reused for 6 consecutive cycles retaining 80% of its initial activity. It was also found to be effective in releasing the reducing sugar from juice and poultry feed and oven spring in bakery. These results suggest that this study provides an alternative xylanase enzyme with enhanced properties.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Molecular Catalysis B: Enzymatic is an international forum for researchers and product developers in the applications of whole-cell and cell-free enzymes as catalysts in organic synthesis. Emphasis is on mechanistic and synthetic aspects of the biocatalytic transformation.
Papers should report novel and significant advances in one or more of the following topics;
Applied and fundamental studies of enzymes used for biocatalysis;
Industrial applications of enzymatic processes, e.g. in fine chemical synthesis;
Chemo-, regio- and enantioselective transformations;
Screening for biocatalysts;
Integration of biocatalytic and chemical steps in organic syntheses;
Novel biocatalysts, e.g. enzymes from extremophiles and catalytic antibodies;
Enzyme immobilization and stabilization, particularly in non-conventional media;
Bioprocess engineering aspects, e.g. membrane bioreactors;
Improvement of catalytic performance of enzymes, e.g. by protein engineering or chemical modification;
Structural studies, including computer simulation, relating to substrate specificity and reaction selectivity;
Biomimetic studies related to enzymatic transformations.
