Dictyoglomus turgidum is a hyperthermophilic, anaerobic, gram-negative bacterium that shows an array of putative glycoside hydrolases (GHs) encoded by its genome, a feature that makes this microorganism very interesting for biotechnological applications. The aim of this work is the characterization of a hyperthermophilic GH5, Dtur_0671, of D. turgidum, annotated as endoglucanase and herein named DturCelB in agreement to DturCelA, which was previously characterized. The synthetic gene was expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified recombinant enzyme is active as a monomer (40 kDa) and CD structural studies showed a conserved α/β structure at different temperatures (25 and 70 °C) and high thermoresistance (Tm of 88 °C). Interestingly, the enzyme showed high endo-β-1,4-mannanase activity vs various mannans, but low endo-β-1,4 glucanase activity towards carboxymethylcellulose. The K and V of DturCelB were determined for both glucomannan and CMC: they were 4.70 mg/ml and 473.1 μmol/min mg and 1.83 mg/ml and 1.349 μmol/min mg, respectively. Its optimal activity towards temperature and pH resulted to be 70 °C and pH 5.4, respectively. Further characterization highlighted good thermal stability (~ 50% of enzymatic activity after 2 h at 70 °C) and pH stability over a broad range (> 90% of activity after 1 h in buffer, ranging pH 5-9); resistance to chemicals was also observed.

The Platycodon grandiflorum root, Platycodi radix, a common vegetable, and its extract with glycosylated saponins, platycosides, have been used as food items and food health supplements for pulmonary diseases and respiratory disorders. Enzymes convert glycosylated saponins into deglycosylated saponins, which exhibit higher biological activity than glycosylated saponins. In this study, β-glucosidase from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Dictyoglomus turgidum converted platycosides in the Platycodi radix extract into deglucosylated platycosides.

Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is a low-cost and abundant source of fermentable sugars. Enzymatic hydrolysis is one of the main ways to obtain sugars from biomass, but most of the polysaccharide-degrading enzymes are poorly efficient on LCB and cellulases with higher performances are required. In this study, we designed a chimeric protein by adding the carbohydrate binding module (CBM) of the cellulosomal enzyme CtLic26A-Cel5E (endoglucanase H or CelH) from Clostridium (Ruminiclostridium) thermocellum to the C-terminus of Dtur CelA, an interesting hyperthermostable endoglucanase from Dictyoglomus turgidum.
