RESUMO

Extracellular and cell-associated enzyme preparations were obtained from ruminal anaerobic fungi Orpinomyces sp. GMLF5 grown in culture containing microcrystalline cellulose (avicel) as sole energy source and degradation capacities of the preparations towards several polysaccharides and glycosides were studied. Fungus showed substantial increases in xylanase, carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase), lichenase, amylase, beta-xylosidase, beta-glucosidase and alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase activities between 72 and 168 hours. High amounts of cell associated beta-xylosidase were noted in 4 and 5 days old cultures. Optimum temperature and pH of the polysaccharidases were found at 50 degrees C and 6.0-6.5, respectively. Xylanase was found to be virtually stable at 50 degrees C, CMCase and lichenase were stable at 40 degrees C for 200 min, however amylase was found more sensitive to heat treatment. The fibrolytic enzymes of the isolate GMLF5 were observed to be capable of hydrolyze the avicel.

RESUMO

The facultative anaerobic bacterium Lactococcus lactis has been used as a host for expression of a gene isolated from the anaerobic rumen fungus Neocallimastix sp. The coding region of the cellulase gene was obtained from the fungus with the aid of polymerase chain reaction amplification. The gene was then transformed into pCT vector system and the constructed recombinant plasmid was introduced into two L. lactis strains (IL403 and MG1363) by electroporation. The gene encoding the fungal originated cellulase was expressed in both strains successfully although the expression level was relatively lower in comparison with the original enzyme activity. Genetically modified L. lactis strains were used as silage inoculants for pre-biodegradation of the plant biomass during ensiling. That treatment resulted in a notable reduction of the acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) contents of the plant biomass used as silage material. Inoculation with recombinant strain IL1043 resulted in 4.8 and 9.7 % decrease in NDF and ADF contents, respectively while the inoculation of silage with strain MG1363 decreased the ADF content by >5 %.

RESUMO

Streptococcus bovis JB1 was found to produce a 25-kDa extracellular enzyme active against beta-(1,3-1,4)-glucans. A gene was isolated encoding a specific beta-(1,3-1,4)-glucanase that corresponds to this size and belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 16. A 4- to 10-fold increase in supernatant beta-glucanase activity was obtained when the cloned beta-glucanase gene was reintroduced into S. bovis JB1 by use of constructs based on the plasmid vector pTRW10 or pIL253. The beta-(1,3-1,4)-glucanase gene was also expressed upon introduction of the pTRW10 construct pTRWL1R into Lactococcus lactis IL2661 and Enterococcus faecalis JH2-SS, although extracellular activity was 8- to 50-fold lower than that in S. bovis JB1. The beta-(1,3-1,4)-glucanase purified from the culture supernatant of S. bovis JB1 carrying pTRWL1R showed a K(m) of 2.8 mg per ml and a Vmax of 338 mumol of glucose equivalents per min per mg of protein with barley beta-glucan as the substrate. The S. bovis beta-(1,3-1,4)-glucanase may contribute to the ability of this bacterium to utilize starch by degrading structural polysaccharides present in endosperm cell walls.
