Published: July 1999

A new xylanase (XYL2) was purified from solid-state cultures of Trichoderma harzianum strain C by ultrafiltration and gel filtration. SDS-PAGE of the xylanase showed an apparent homogeneity and molecular weight of 18 kDa. It had the highest activity at pH 5.0 and 45 degrees C and was stable at 50 degrees C and pH 5.0 up to 4 h xylanase. XYL2 had a low Km with insoluble oat spelt xylan as substrate. Compared to the amino acid composition of xylanases from Trichoderma spp, xylanase XYL2 presented a high content of glutamate/glutamine, phenylalanine and cysteine, and a low content of serine. Xylanase XYL2 improved the delignification and selectivity of unbleached hardwood kraft pulp.

A novel bacterial GH30 xylobiohydrolase from Hungateiclostridium clariflavum.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol

January 2021

Institute of Chemistry, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Dúbravská cesta 9, 845 38, Bratislava, Slovakia.

Typical bacterial GH30 xylanases are glucuronoxylanases requiring 4-O-methylglucuronic acid (MeGlcA) substitution of a xylan main chain for their action. They do not exhibit a significant activity on neutral xylooligosaccharides, arabinoxylan (AraX), or rhodymenan (Rho). In this work, the biochemical characterization of the bacterial Clocl_1795 xylanase from Hungateiclostridium (Clostridium) clariflavum DSM 19732 (HcXyn30A) is presented.

Cooperation of hydrolysis modes among xylanases reveals the mechanism of hemicellulose hydrolysis by Penicillium chrysogenum P33.

Microb Cell Fact

September 2019

State Key Laboratory of Agrobiotechnology, College of Biological Sciences, China Agricultural University, Beijing, 100193, China.

Background: Xylanases randomly cleave the internal β-1,4-glycosidic bonds in the xylan backbone and are grouped into different families in the carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZy) database. Although multiple xylanases are detected in single strains of many filamentous fungi, no study has been reported on the composition, synergistic effect, and mode of action in a complete set of xylanases secreted by the same microorganism.

Results: All three xylanases secreted by Penicillium chrysogenum P33 were expressed and characterized.

The enzymes Xyl1 and Xyl2 from T. stromaticum were purified and identified by mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/MS). Xyl1 contained three proteins with similarity to xylanase family 10, 62 and anarabinofuranosidase of the Trichoderma genus and Xyl2 contained a protein with similarity to endo-1,4-β-xylanase.
