A new cellulolytic strain of Chryseobacterium genus was screened from the dung of a cattle fed with cereal straw. A putative cellulase gene (cbGH5) belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 5 subfamily 46 (GH5_46) was identified and cloned by degenerate PCR plus genome walking. The CbGH5 protein was overexpressed in Pichia pastoris, purified and characterized. It is the first bifunctional cellulase-xylanase reported in GH5_46 as well as in Chryseobacterium genus. The enzyme showed an endoglucanase activity on carboxymethylcellulose of 3237 μmol min  mg at pH 9, 90 °C and a xylanase activity on birchwood xylan of 1793 μmol min  mg at pH 8, 90 °C. The activity level and thermophilicity are in the front rank of all the known cellulases and xylanases. Core hydrophobicity had a positive effect on the thermophilicity of this enzyme. When similar quantity of enzymatic activity units was applied on the straws of wheat, rice, corn and oilseed rape, CbGH5 could obtain 3.5-5.0× glucose and 1.2-1.8× xylose than a mixed commercial cellulase plus xylanase of Novozymes. When applied on spent mushroom substrates made from the four straws, CbGH5 could obtain 9.2-15.7× glucose and 3.5-4.3× xylose than the mixed Novozymes cellulase+xylanase. The results suggest that CbGH5 could be a promising candidate for industrial lignocellulosic biomass conversion.

To efficiently use lignocellulosic materials in ruminants, it is crucial to explore effective enzymes, especially bifunctional enzymes. In this study, a novel stable bifunctional cellulase-xylanase protein from buffalo rumen metagenome was expressed and characterized, CelXyn2. The enzyme displayed optimal activity at pH 6.

Article Synopsis
  • The thermophilic fungus Co3Bag1 produces TtCel7A, a bifunctional enzyme that acts as both a cellulase and xylanase, crucial for breaking down biomass.
  • TtCel7A functions optimally at a pH of 5.5 and temperatures of 60°C for cellulase activity and 50°C for xylanase activity, with varying stability at higher temperatures.
  • The enzyme effectively hydrolyzes various substrates, producing glucose and cellobiose, making it a promising candidate for industrial applications in biomass degradation.

Due to the importance of using lignocellulosic biomass, it is always important to find an effective novel enzyme or enzyme cocktail or fusion enzymes. Identification of bifunctional enzymes through a metagenomic approach is an efficient method for converting agricultural residues and a beneficial way to reduce the cost of enzyme cocktail and fusion enzyme production. In this study, a novel stable bifunctional cellulase/xylanase, PersiCelXyn1 was identified from the rumen microbiota by the multi-stage in-silico screening pipeline and computationally assisted methodology.

Background: An array of glycoside hydrolases with multiple substrate specificities are required to digest plant cell wall polysaccharides. Cel5E from Clostridium thermocellum and Cel5A from Thermotoga maritima are two glycoside hydrolase family 5 (GH5) enzymes with high sequence and structural similarity, but notably possess different substrate specificities; the former is a bifunctional cellulase/xylanase and the latter is a cellulase/mannanase. A specific loop in TmCel5A, Tmloop, is one of the most structurally divergent regions compared to CtCel5E and interacts with substrates, suggesting the importance for mannan recognition.
