AbstractPichia guilliermondii strain SO isolated from spoiled orange was developed for use as an alternative expression host by using Pichia pastoris as the model of the experiment. This is the first study to report on the capability of P. guilliermondii SO as a host to express thermostable T1 lipase from Geobacillus zalihae. Alcohol oxidase and formaldehyde dehydrogenase promoters were present in the yeast genome. Interestingly, the recombinant yeast [SO/pPICZαB/T1-2 (SO2)] took only 30 h to reach optimal production with minimal methanol induction [1.5% (v/v)] in YPTM medium, as compared to P. pastoris, which took longer to reach its optimal condition. The purification yield of the His-tagged fusion lipase was 68.58%, with specific activity of 194.58 U/mg. The optimum temperature was 65°C at pH 9 in glycine-NaOH buffer, and it was stable up to 70°C in a wide pH range from pH 5 to 12. In conclusion, a newly isolated yeast from spoiled orange has been proven suitable for use as an expression host.

Abstract The phyCg gene encoding a new phytase from C. gillenii was optimized, synthesized, cloned, and expressed in Pichia pastoris. Analysis of the amino acid sequence of the enzyme showed that it belongs to the histidine acid phosphatase family. The amino acid sequence of the PhyCg phytase has the highest homology (73.49%) with a phytase sequence from Citrobacter braakii. The main characteristics for the purified recombinant phytase were established. The optimum pH and temperature were 4.5 and 50°C, respectively. The specific activity of the enzyme was 1577 U/mg. The Michaelis constant (Km) and the maximum reaction rate (Vmax) for sodium phytate were 0,185 mM and 2185 U/mg, respectively. The enzyme showed the pH and trypsin stability and had a high activity over a wide pH range.

β-Galactosidase (E.C.3.2.1.23) catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactose into glucose and galactose and the synthesis of galacto-oligosaccharides as well. The β-galactosidases from bacteria, especially lactobacilli, and yeast have neutral pH and are much more likely to be developed as food additives. However, the challenges of cumbersome purification, product toxicity, and low yield in protein production have limited the commercialization of many excellent candidates. In this study, we identified a β-galactosidase gene (bg42-106) in Bifidobacterium animalis ACCC05790 and expressed the gene product in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and Pichia pastoris GS115, respectively. The recombinant bG42-106 purified from E. coli cells was found to be optimally active at pH 6.0 and 60°C and had excellent stability over a wide pH range (5.0–8.0) and at high temperature (60°C). The specific activity of bG42-106 reached up to 2351 U/mg under optimal conditions. The galacto-oligosaccharide yield was 24.45 g/L after incubation with bG42-106 at 60°C for 2 h. When recombinant bG42-106 was expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115, it was found in the culture medium but only at a concentration of 1.73 U/ml. To increase its production, three strategies were employed, including codon optimization, disulfide formation, and fusion with a Cherry tag, with Cherry-tag fusion being most effective. The culture medium of P. pastoris that expressed Cherry-tagged bG42-106 contained 24.4 U/mL of β-galactosidase activity, which is 14-fold greater than that produced by culture of P. pastoris harboring wild-type bG42-106.

Alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) show versatile bioactivities. Although various alginate lyases have been characterized, enzymes with special characteristics are still rare. In this study, a polysaccharide lyase family 7 (PL7) alginate lyase-encoding gene, aly08, was cloned from the marine bacterium Vibrio sp. SY01 and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified alginate lyase Aly08, with a molecular weight of 35 kDa, showed a specific activity of 841 U/mg at its optimal pH (pH 8.35) and temperature (45 °C). Aly08 showed good pH-stability, as it remained more than 80% of its initial activity in a wide pH range (4.0–10.0). Aly08 was also a thermo-tolerant enzyme that recovered 70.8% of its initial activity following heat shock treatment for 5 min. This study also demonstrated that Aly08 is a polyG-preferred enzyme. Furthermore, Aly08 degraded alginates into disaccharides and trisaccharides in an endo-manner. Its thermo-tolerance and pH-stable properties make Aly08 a good candidate for further applications.

Some of Gram-negative bacteria perform a phenomenon called quorum sensing (QS) to activate certain phenotypes such as pathogenicity. The bacterial cells performing QS produce N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) as signal molecules to communicate within a population. These molecules can be degraded by the enzyme, i.e. AHL lactonase. This study aimed to characterize the activity of AHL lactonase from Bacillus cereus INT1c and Bacillus sp. NTT3a in different pH and temperature levels. Both strains produce AHL-lactonase that could be found in intracellular and extracellular extracts. The dialysis process of extracellular AHL-lactonase of INT1c significantly increased the specific activity from 5.91 to 29.96, different from an extracellular enzyme of NTT3a that slightly increased from 4.08 to 5.39. Generally dialyzedAHL-lactonase of both B. cereus INT1c and Bacillus sp. NTT3a had activity in wide pH range with better activity in acidic pH and were not stable in high temperature with the highest activity at 30-40 oC.

A nonspecific β-fructofuranosidase (inulinase) was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from the culture filtrate of the mushroom Panaeolus papillonaceus. The enzyme is the first purified from a basidiomycete and consists of two subunits with a total molecular weight of 116 000. It is most active on sucrose, then on raffinose, stachyose, and inulin, in decreasing order. The sucrase/inulinase activity ratio (S/I) is 5.7. Fructose was detected as the liberated sugar from raffinose, stachyose, and inulin. The enzyme is highly thermostable with an optimum temperature range of 60–65 °C and a pH optimum of 6.0. The enzyme is stable over the pH range 4–10, and is also active over a wide pH range, exhibiting 50% activity even at pH 8.5. Iodoacetate, azide, and EDTA, at 20 mM concentration, and 1% (w/v) SDS have no effect on enzyme activity, whereas Ag+ and Hg2+ at 2 mM are highly inhibitory.

Renibacteriumsp. QD1, a bacteria strain capable of hydrolysing chitosan, was isolated from the homogenate of small crabs. An extracellular chitosanase, Csn-A, was purified from the QD1 fermentation broth. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity, with a yield of eight-fold, 67% recovery and a specific activity of 1575 U/mg proteins. The molecular weight of Csn-A was estimated to be 26.1 kDa by SDS-PAGE. Unlike other chitosanases, the purified Csn-A displayed maximal activity at a pH range of 5.3–6.5, and it was stable in a broad pH range of 5.0–10.0. The optimum temperature for chitosanlytic activity was 55°C. The enzyme activity was strongly stimulated by Mn2+but inhibited by Fe3+, Cu2+, Al3+, Zn2+and SDS. TLC analysis demonstrated that Csn-A hydrolysed N-deacetylated polymeric glucosamines into chito-biose and -triose in an endo-type manner. The amino acid seuquence of Csn-A showed close identity with an uncharacterized chitosanase of strain ATCC33209.

A high degree of intra- and inter-geographical variation has been demonstrated previously in the excretory/secretory proteinases released by adult Haemonchus contortus. Proteinase activity has also been associated with host-protective ‘hidden’ antigens isolated from the gut of adult H. contortus. If similar geographical strain variation also exists within the gut-associated proteinases, this will have important implications for the development of a globally effective vaccine. The proteinases active in integral-membrane protein extracts from 3 different strains of adult H. contortus were characterized on the basis of their pH optima and molecular size. Although enzyme activity was detected over a wide pH range, the majority of proteinase activity was detected at acidic pH. Differences in specific activity and size of enzymes were observed between the 3 different parasite strains at different pH values. A high degree of conservation in reactive peptides was observed when protein extracts were probed with antisera raised to the protective hidden gut-antigen complexes isolated from the Moredun strain of H. contortus, or to bacterially expressed subcomponents thereof. Therefore, despite the observed differences in membrane-bound proteinase profiles, the similarity of the immunogenic response against these hidden antigens may be sufficient to prove protective against different geographical isolates of H. contortus.

L-asparaginase (E.C.3.5.1.1) is a well-known agent that prevents the formation of acrylamide both in the food industry and against childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia in clinical settings. The disadvantages of L-asparaginase, which restrict its industrial application, include its narrow range of pH stability and low thermostability. In this study, a novel L-asparaginase from Mycobacterium gordonae (GmASNase) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). GmASNase was found to be a tetramer with a monomeric size of 32 kDa, sharing only 32% structural identity with Helicobacter pylori L-asparaginases in the Protein Data Bank database. The purified GmASNase had the highest specific activity of 486.65 IU mg−1 at pH 9.0 and 50 °C. In addition, GmASNase possessed superior properties in terms of stability at a wide pH range of 5.0–11.0 and activity at temperatures below 40 °C. Moreover, GmASNase displayed high substrate specificity towards L-asparagine with Km, kcat, and kcat/Km values of 6.025 mM, 11,864.71 min−1, and 1969.25 mM−1min−1, respectively. To evaluate its ability to mitigate acrylamide, GmASNase was used to treat potato chips prior to frying, where the acrylamide content decreased by 65.09% compared with the untreated control. These results suggest that GmASNase is a potential candidate for applications in the food industry.

Five N-p-phenyl substituted benzamidines were studied by DC and DP polarography in a wide pH range. Coulometric results show that the overall processes are four-electron reductions. Logarithmic analysis of the waves indicate that the process are irreversible. The influence of the pH on the polarographic parameters was also studied. A UV spectrophotometric study was performed in the pH range 2-13. In basic media some variations in the absorption bands were observed due to the dissociation of the amidine group. A determination of the pK values was made by deconvolution of the spectra. Correlations of both the electrochemical parameters and spectrophotometric pK values with the Hammett substituent constants were obtained.
