A novel cold-adaptive xylanolytic Penicillium strain FS010 was isolated from Yellow sea sediments. The marine fungus grew well from 4 to 20 degrees; a lower (0 degrees) or higher (37 degrees) temperature limits its growth. The strain was identified as Penicillium chrysogenum. Compared with mesophilic P. chrysogenum, the cold-adaptive fungus secreted the cold-active xylanase (XYL) showing high hydrolytic activities at low temperature (2-15 degrees) and high sensitivity to high temperature (>50 degrees). The XYL gene was isolated from the cold-adaptive P. chrysogenum FS010 and designated as xyl. The deduced amino acid sequence of the protein encoded by xyl showed high homology with the sequence of glycoside hydrolase family 10. The gene was subcloned into an expression vector pGEX-4T-1 and the encoded protein was overexpressed as a fusion protein with glutathione-S-transferase in Escherichia coli BL21. The expression product was purified and subjected to enzymatic characterization. The optimal temperature and pH for recombinant XYL was 25 degrees and 5.5, respectively. Recombinant XYL showed nearly 80% of its maximal activity at 4 degrees and was active in the pH range 3.0-9.5.

GH19 (glycoside hydrolase 19) chitinases play crucial roles in the enzymatic conversion of chitin and biocontrol of phytopathogenic fungi. Herein, a novel multifunctional chitinase of GH19 (Chi19A), which contains three chitin-binding domains (ChBDs), was successfully cloned from CSC-1 and heterologously expressed in . We also generated truncated mutants of Chi19A_ΔI, Chi19A_ΔIΔII, and Chi19A_CatD consisting of two ChBDs and a catalytic domain, one ChBD and a catalytic domain, and only a catalytic domain, respectively.

In order to better utilize chitinolytic enzymes to produce high-value N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) from chitinous waste, there is an urgent need to explore bi-functional chitinases with exceptional properties of temperature, pH and metal tolerance. In this study, we cloned and characterized a novel bi-functional cold-adaptive chitinase called CaChi18A from a newly isolated strain, Chitinilyticum aquatile CSC-1, in Bama longevity village of Guangxi Province, China. The activity of CaChi18A at 50 °C was 4.

Low temperature imposes strong selective pressure on ectotherms. To maximize their overall fitness under cold conditions, the ectotherms may either try to maintain their physiological activities through metabolic compensation or enter into metabolic depression; however, some species adopt both strategies to cope with different degrees of cold. Nevertheless, how these two seemingly opposite strategies are coordinated has rarely been elucidated.

Psychrophilic bacteria are a type of microorganisms that normally grow in low-temperature environments. They are usually found in extremely cold environments. However, as people's demand for low-temperature storage of food becomes higher, psychrophilic bacteria have also begun to appear in cold storage and refrigerators, which has become a food safety hazard.
