A hybrid gene, btx, encoding a thermostable xylanase, Btx, was constructed by substituting the 31 N-terminal amino acid residues of the Thermomonospora fusca xylanase A (TfxA) for the corresponding region of 22 amino acid residues of the Bacillus subtilis xylanase A (BsxA). The btx gene was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21. The halo size produced by xylanase Btx on a Remanzol brilliant blue R (RBB) xylan plate at 60 degrees C and pH 6.0 was larger than those of BsxA and TfxA. The molecular weight of Btx was 22 kDa. Temperature and pH optima for Btx were at 50-60 degrees C and 6.0, respectively. Btx showed activity over 80% over a pH range of 5.0-9.0, which was wider than that of BsxA, and was also more acid-resistant than TfxA. Btx exhibited significant thermostability compared with BsxA. The results show the importance of the N-terminal sequence of TfxA in thermostability.

Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are excellent prebiotic which improve health through selective modulation of beneficial gut microbiome. Its production from agroresidues using microbial xylanase is considered as sustainable and economic approach. In this study a xylanase producing bacterium isolated from decaying wood soil was phylogenetically identified and designated as Bacillus stercoris DWS1.

Thermophilic xylanases catalyzing the cleavage of β-1,4-glycosidic bonds in xylan have applications in food, feed, biorefinery, and pulp industries. In this study, a hyperthermophilic endo-xylanase was obtained by further enhancement of thermal tolerance of a thermophilic GH11 xylanase originated from metagenome of bagasse pile based on rational design. Introducing N13F and Q34L to the previously reported X11P enzyme shifted the optimal working temperature to 85 °C and led to 20.

GH10 xylanases and GH62 Arabinofuranosidases play key roles in the breakdown of arabinoxylans and are important tools in various industrial and biotechnological processes, such as renewable biofuel production, the paper industry, and the production of short-chain xylooligosaccharides (XOS) from plant biomass. However, the use of these enzymes in industrial settings is often limited due to their relatively low thermostability and reduced catalytic efficiency. To overcome these limitations, strategies based on enzymatic chimera construction and the use of metal ions and other cofactors have been proposed to produce new recombinant enzymes with improved catalytic activity and thermostability.

Xylanases are a class of glycoside hydrolases commonly used in the food, papermaking, and textile industries. However, most xylanases are rapidly inactivated under harsh industrial conditions. Here, a unique and robust GH11 xylanase, AncXyn18, was designed using an ancestral sequence reconstruction strategy, sequence analysis, structure prediction, and experimental verification.
