To determine the contribution of protozoal activity to cellulose degradation, we maintained the ciliate Polyplastron multivesiculatum free of extracellular and intracellular cellulolytic bacteria. Control experiments to verify the absence of such bacteria were performed on cellular extracts, on filtrates, and on ciliates before lyophilization. The enzymatic activity was determined by viscometry and by determining the amount of reducing sugars produced. The enzyme was found to be an endo-1, 4- β-glucanase. Polyplastron multivesiculatum which was maintained free of extracellular and intracellular bacteria degraded soluble derivatives of cellulose and slightly degraded native cellulose. The activity was not due to intracellular bacterial cellulase, as ingested bacteria were lysed and digested by proteolytic enzymes of the protozoan. In addition, when preparing the filtrate solutions, P. multivesiculatum was maintained in culture for 5 days with Streptococcus faecalis (a facultatively anaerobic, noncellulolytic bacterium). Isoelectric focusing and chromatofocusing of lyophilized P. multivesiculatum that was free of cellulolytic bacteria yielded three protein fractions that degrade carboxymethylcellulose and hydroxyethylcellulose. Chromatofocusing also revealed the presence of two protein fractions with β-glucosidase activity.

SummaryThe flavin and heme cofactor containing enzyme cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) is ubiquitously distributed in wood-degrading fungi. Current research provides compelling evidence that CDH is an activator for cellulolytic monooxygenases, which enhance the accessibility of crystalline cellulose surfaces for hydrolases. Such oxidative cellulose degradation contributes to the overall cellulolytic capabilities of wood decaying fungi to a large extent, and holds great potential to improve the efficiency of commercial enzyme mixtures for biomass processing and biofuel production. This review summarizes current literature with regard to the distribution, structure and physiological role of CDH in the light of recent findings.

AbstractCellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) is an extracellular enzyme produced by various wood-degrading fungi. It oxidizes cellobiose to cellobionolactone under reduction of molecular oxygen to hydrogen peroxide, and Fe3+to Fe2+. These activated agents can thereafter form highly reactive hydroxyl radicals, which depolymerize wood polymers. In this work, cellulose depolymerization by CDH was studied using a model compound, methyl β-D-glucopyranoside. The formation of glucose, arabinose, gluconic acid, erythrulose and formaldehyde were detected and a mechanism for the reaction is proposed. The biological importance of this enzyme-initiated reaction is discussed.

ABSTRACT The transcripts of structurally related cellobiohydrolase genes inPhanerochaete chrysosporium-colonized wood chips were quantified. The transcript patterns obtained were dramatically different from the transcript patterns obtained previously in defined media. Cellobiose dehydrogenase transcripts were also detected, which is consistent with the hypothesis that such transcripts play an important role in cellulose degradation.

Pergularia daemia belongs to the family Asclepiadaceae, known to have anticancer, anti-inflammatory activity. Aim of the present study was to evaluate qualitative and quantitative phytochemical and antioxidant properties of ethanolic extracts of leaf, stem and root parts of P. daemia . Preliminary phytochemical analysis and in vitro antioxidant properties were evaluated by standard methods. The qualitative phytochemical analysis of P. daemia showed presence of flavonoids, tannins, alkaloid, phytosterol, carbohydrate, phenol, saponin, glycosides, terpenoids, steroids proteins and reducing sugars. Quantitative analysis showed polyphenol, flavonoid, flavonone, flavone and flavonol in P. daemia leaves, stem and root in considerable quantity. The in vitro antioxidant activity of P. daemia clearly demonstrated that leaf, stem and root parts have prominent antioxidant properties and was effective in scavenging free radicals.
