Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that members of Trichoderma are able to generate appreciable amount of extracellular amylase and glucoamylase on soluble potato starch. In this study the α-amylase was purified and characterized from Trichoderma pseudokoningii grown on orange peel under solid state fermentation (SSF).
Results: Five α-amylases A1-A5 from Trichodrma pseudokoningii were separated on DEAE-Sepharose column. The homogeneity of α-amylase A4 was detected after chromatography on Sephacryl S-200. α-Amylase A4 had molecular weight of 30 kDa by Sephacryl S-200 and SDS-PAGE. The enzyme had a broad pH optimum ranged from 4.5 to 8.5. The optimum temperature of A4 was 50 °C with high retention of its activity from 30 to 80 °C. The thermal stability of A4 was detected up to 50 °C and the enzyme was highly stable till 80 °C after 1 h incubation. All substrate analogues tested had amylase activity toward A4 ranged from 12 to 100% of its initial activity. The Km and Vmax values of A4 were 4 mg starch/ml and 0.74 μmol reducing sugar, respectively. The most of metals tested caused moderate inhibitory effect, except of Ca and Mg enhanced the activity. Hg and Cd strongly inhibited the activity of A4. EDTA as metal chelator caused strong inhibitory effect.
Conclusions: The properties of the purified α-amylase A4 from T. pseudokoningii meet the prerequisites needed for several applications.

Unrestricted disposal of tannery solid waste (TSW) into agricultural soils has resulted in the contamination of heavy metals (HMs) such as chromium (Cr) cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), and Zinc (Zn) along with the severe potential to degrade the environmental quality around the world. In the present study, a combined phyto- and myco-remediation strategy was evaluated to enhance the growth, ionic contents, and phytoextraction potential of and for HMs from TSW-contaminated soil. A pot experiment was conducted in the greenhouse using single or combined inoculation of (Tp) and (An) in and under TSW-contaminated soil at different doses (0, 50, and 100%).

Two of the multiple limitations of phytoextraction efficiency (PE %) of TSW polluted soils are: (i) low growth of plant performance, (ii) poor bioavailability of excessive essential and heavy metals (ascribed as Category-I and II metals respectively) The current study reports biostimulant role of allochthonous (F1) and autochthonous (F2) in growth of L. and uptake of Category-I & II metals from TSW-soil (0, 5 & 10%). Significantly higher growth (27.

Objective: To explore the synergistic inhibitory effect of polysaccharide from (EPS) and oxaliplatin (Oxa) on colorectal cancer (CRC) HCT116 cells.
Objective: HCT116 cells were treated with 8 μg/mL Oxa and 100 μg/mL EPS alone or in combination, and the changes in cell viability was assessed with CCK-8 assay. CompuSyn software was used for fitting the Fa-CI curve to evaluate the combined effect of the two agents.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are the key regulators of immune responses. In this study, the effect of an exopolysaccharide (EPS) from the culture broth of Trichoderma pseudokoningii on the phenotypic and functional maturation of murine DCs and its underlying molecular mechanisms were investigated. It showed that EPS induced the morphological changes of DCs and the enhanced expression of DCs featured surface molecules CD11c, CD86, CD80 and major histocompatibility complex II (MHC-II).
