Two types of xylanase gene, XYN11A ( XYL1) and XYN11B ( XYL2), were amplified by PCR and partially sequenced in four phytopathogenic species of the ascomycete fungal genus Cochliobolus (anamorph genus Bipolaris). Three of the species, C. heterostrophus ( B. maydis), C. sativus ( B. sorokiniana), and Bipolaris sorghicola (no teleomorph known), are interrelated; the fourth, C. spicifer ( B. spicifera), was found, through analysis of the 5.8S RNA and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of its ribosomal DNA, to be more distantly related to the other three. Isolates from all four species contain orthologous XYN11A and XYN11B genes, but a set of laboratory strains of C. heterostrophus gave no product corresponding to the XYN11B gene. The patterns of evolution of the two xylanase genes and ribosomal DNA sequences are mutually consistent; the results indicate that the two genes were present in the common ancestor of all Cochliobolus species and are evolving independently of each other.

Xylanase is a versatile tool in the food, fiber biobleaching and biofuel industries. Here, to discover new enzyme with special properties, we cloned three xylanases (Xyn11A, Xyn11B, and Xyn11C) by mining the genome of the xylanase producing fungus strain Fusarium sp. 21, biochemically characterized these enzyme and explored their potential application in juice processing.

Lignocellulose degradation by microbes plays a central role in global carbon cycling, human gut metabolism and renewable energy technologies. While considerable effort has been put into understanding the biochemical aspects of lignocellulose degradation, much less work has been done to understand how these enzymes work in an in vivo context. Here, we report a systems level study of xylan degradation in the saprophytic bacterium Cellvibrio japonicus.

A multiple xylanase system with high levels of xylanase activity produced from Penicillium oxalicum GZ-2 using agricultural waste as a substrate has been previously reported. However, the eco-physiological properties and origin of the multiplicity of xylanases remain unclear. In the present study, eight active bands were detected using zymography, and all bands were identified as putative xylanases using MALDI-TOF-MS/MS.

Two xylanase genes were cloned from the anaerobic fungus Neocallimastix frontalis. Xyn11A had a modular structure of two catalytic domains and two dockerin domains, while Xyn11B had one catalytic domain and two dockerin domains. The characteristics of the xylanases with and without dockerin domains were investigated.
