Tannase (EC 3.1.1.20) is an enzyme that hydrolyzes the ester and depside bonds of tannic acid to gallic acid and glucose. In the production of foods and beverages, it contributes to the removal of the undesirable effects of tannins. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of endophytic fungi isolated from jamun ( (L.) Skeels) leaves, and identified as , in the production of tannase. Tannase was produced extracellularly by under submerged, slurry-state and solid-state fermentations. The submerged fermentation was found to be the most promising (98.6 U/mL). Response surface methodology was employed to evaluate the effect of variables (pH and temperature), and the results showed that the best conditions for tannase activity were pH=6.9 and 30 °C. was found to be 7.18·10 mol/L and =250.00 U/mL. The tannase activity was the highest in the presence of Ca at a concentration of 5·10 mol/L. Moreover, the enzyme was not inhibited by the tested chelators and detergents. The stability of the enzyme was also studied, and crude enzyme was evaluated in simulation of gastrointestinal digestion of monogastric animals. The crude enzyme was highly stable under simulated conditions; it retained 87.3% of its original activity after 6 h. The study contributes to the identification of microbial species that produce tannase, with potential application in biotechnology.

The exorbitant production costs associated with natural tannases pose a significant challenge to their widespread industrial utilization. Microbial expression systems provide a cost-effective method for enzyme production. In this study, a putative gene encoding the subtype B tannase (Gt-Tan) was cloned from Galactobacillus timonensis and expressed heterologously in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells.

Article Synopsis
- Sgg is a gram-positive bacterium linked to infective endocarditis and colorectal cancer (CRC), thriving in the colorectal tumor environment.
- It has specialized features like pili for cell adhesion, bile salt hydrolase, and gallocin that help it grow in the bile-rich conditions typical of colorectal tumors.
- Sgg also affects oncogenic pathways, particularly the Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and promotes CRC progression by utilizing tumor metabolites and inducing harmful biotransformation in cancer cells.

In this study, the ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced skin photoaging inhibitory activity of pomegranate peel extract with increased ellagic acid content through enzymatic hydrolysis was evaluated in HaCaT cells. Among various enzymes, Viscozyme with high tannase and β-glucosidase activities was used, and 1.0 % Viscozyme was added to hydrolyze pomegranate peel for 2 h at 40°C to establish the optimal reaction conditions for high ellagic acid content.

Xerophilic fungi occupy versatile environments owing to their rich arsenal helping them successfully adapt to water constraints as a result of low relative humidity, high-osmolarity, and high-salinity conditions. The general term xerophilic fungi relates to organisms that tolerate and/or require reduced water activity, while halophilic and osmophilic are applied to specialized groups that require high salt concentrations or increased osmotic pressure, respectively. Species belonging to the family Aspergillaceae, and especially those classified in Aspergillus subgenus Aspergillus (sections Restricti and Aspergillus) and Polypaecilum, are particularly enriched in the group of osmophilic and salt-tolerant filamentous fungi.

Tannins are critical plant defense metabolites, enriched in bark and leaves, that protect against microorganisms and insects by binding to and precipitating proteins. Hydrolyzable tannins contain ester bonds which can be cleaved by tannases-serine hydrolases containing so-called "cap" domains covering their active sites. However, comprehensive insights into the biochemical properties and structural diversity of tannases are limited, especially regarding their cap domains.
