The strain Paenibacillus curdlanolyticus MP-1 was used to obtain mutan-hydrolyzing enzymes. Different methods of precipitation and concentration of the post culture liquid were tested. All these methods produced satisfactory results in regard to the overall activity of mutanase and yielded active preparations of the enzyme. The best precipitation was obtained with propanol -98% of the initial enzyme activity was preserved with a purification of 2-fold. Salting out with ammonium sulfate at 50% saturation gave mutanase recovery of 77% and a purification of around 2-fold. Ultrafiltration yielded an about 10-fold concentrated preparation of the enzyme with a yield of 98%. Lyophilization and concentration of the culture broth (in the range from 5 to 20 times) in a vacuum evaporator yielded active crude preparations with mutanase recovery of 97%.

PcAxy43B is a modular protein comprising a catalytic domain of glycoside hydrolase family 43 (GH43), a family 6 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM6), and a family 36 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM36) and found to be a novel multifunctional xylanolytic enzyme from Paenibacillus curdlanolyticus B-6. This enzyme exhibited α-l-arabinofuranosidase, endoxylanase, and β-d-xylosidase activities. The α-l-arabinofuranosidase activity of PcAxy43B revealed a new property of GH43, via the release of both long-chain cereal arabinoxylan and short-chain arabinoxylooligosaccharide (AXOS), as well as release from both the C(O) and C(O) positions of AXOS, which is different from what has been seen for other arabinofuranosidases.

-Malic acid (L-MA) is widely used in food and non-food products. However, few microorganisms have been able to efficiently produce L-MA from xylose derived from lignocellulosic biomass (LB). The objective of this work is to convert LB into L-MA with the concept of a bioeconomy and environmentally friendly process.

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) play an important role in the degradation of complex polysaccharides in lignocellulosic biomass. In the present study, we characterized a modular LPMO (PcAA10A), consisting of a family 10 auxiliary activity of LPMO (AA10) catalytic domain, and non-catalytic domains including a family 5 carbohydrate-binding module, two fibronectin type-3 domains, and a family 3 carbohydrate-binding module from Paenibacillus curdlanolyticus B-6, which was expressed in a recombinant Escherichia coli. Comparison of activities between full-length PcAA10A and the catalytic domain polypeptide (PcAA10A_CD) indicates that the non-catalytic domains are important for the deconstruction of crystalline cellulose and complex polysaccharides contained in untreated lignocellulosic biomass.

PcMulGH9, a novel glycoside hydrolase family 9 (GH9) from Paenibacillus curdlanolyticus B-6, was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli. It is composed of a catalytic domain of GH9, two domains of carbohydrate-binding module family 3 (CBM3) and two domains of fibronectin type 3 (Fn3). The PcMulGH9 enzyme showed broad activity towards the β-1,4 glycosidic linkages of cellulose, mannan and xylan, including cellulose and xylan contained in lignocellulosic biomass, which is rarely found in GH9.
