In this study, different enzyme preparations available from Novozymes were assessed for their efficiency to hydrolyze lignocellulosic materials. The enzyme mixture was evaluated on a pretreated cellulose-rich material, and steam-exploded barley straw pretreated under different temperatures (190, 200, and 210 degrees C, respectively) in order to produce fermentable sugars. Results show that xylanase supplementation improves initial cellulose hydrolysis effectiveness of water-insoluble solid fraction from all steam-exploded barley straw samples, regardless of the xylan content of substrate. The mixture constituted by cellulase: beta-glucosidase: endoxylanase of the new kit for lignocellulose conversion at a ratio 10:1:5% ([v/w], enzyme [E]/substrate [S]) provides the highest increment of cellulose conversion in barley straw pretreated at 210 degrees C, for 10 min. 相似文献

Three pretreated corn stover (ammonia fiber expansion, dilute acid, and dilute alkali) were used as carbon source to culture Trichoderma reesei Rut C-30 for cellulase and xylanase production. The results indicated that the cultures on ammonia fiber expansion and alkali pretreated corn stover had better enzyme production than the acid pretreated ones. The consequent enzymatic hydrolysis was performed applying fungal enzymes on pretreated corn stover samples. Tukey’s statistical comparisons exhibited that there were significant differences on enzymatic hydrolysis among different combination of fungal enzymes and pretreated corn stover. The higher sugar yields were achieved by the enzymatic hydrolysis of dilute alkali pretreated corn stover. 相似文献

Exiguobacterium sp. VSG-1 was isolated from the soil sample and characterized for the production of lignocellulolytic enzymes. Production of these enzymes by the strain VSG-1 was carried out using steam-exploded sugarcane bagasse (SCB) and found to secrete cellulase, pectinase, mannanase, xylanase, and tannase. The growth and enzyme production were found to be optimum at pH 9.0 and 37 °C. Upon steam explosion of SCB, the cellulose increased by 42 %, whereas hemicelluloses and lignin decreased by 40 and 62 %, respectively. Enzymatic hydrolysis of steam-exploded SCB yielded 640 g/l of total sugars. Fermentation of sugars produced from pretreated SCB was carried out by using Saccharomyces cerevisiae at pH 5.0 and 30 °C. The alcohol produced was calculated and found to be 62.24 g/l corresponding to 78 % of the theoretical yield of ethanol. Hence, the strain VSG-1 has an industrial importance for the production of fermentable sugars for biofuels. 相似文献

It is commonly observed that the rate of enzymatic hydrolysis of solid cellulose substrates declines markedly with time. In
this work the mechanism behind the rate reduction was investigated using two dominant cellulases of Trichoderma reesei: exoglucanase Cel7A (formerly known as CBHI) and endoglucanase Cel7B (formerly EGI). Hydrolysis of steam-pretreated spruce
(SPS) was performed with Cel7A and Cel7B alone, and in reconstituted mixtures. Throughout the 48-h hydrolysis, soluble products,
hydrolysis rates, and enzyme adsorption to the substrate were measured. The hydrolysis rate for both enzymes decreases rapidly
with hydrolysis time. Both enzymes adsorbed rapidly to the substrate during hydrolysis. Cel7A and Cel7B cooperate synergistically,
and synergism was approximately constant during the SPS hydrolysis. Thermal instability of the enzymes and product inhibition
was not the main cause of reduced hydrolysis rates. Adding fresh substrate to substrate previously hydrolyzed for 24 h with
Cel7A slightly increased the hydrolysis of SPS; however, the rate increased even more by adding fresh Cel7A. This suggests
that enzymes become inactivated while adsorbed to the substrate and that unproductive binding is the main cause of hydrolysis
rate reduction. The strongest increase in hydrolysis rate was achieved by adding Cel7B. An improved model is proposed that
extends the standard endo-exo synergy model and explains the rapid decrease in hydrolysis rate. It appears that the processive
action of Cel7A becomes hindered by obstacles in the lignocellulose substrate. Obstacles created by disordered cellulose chains
can be removed by the endo activity of Cel7B, which explains some of the observed synergism between Cel7A and Cel7B. The improved
model is supported by adsorption studies during hydrolysis. 相似文献

Sugar cane bagasse consists of hemicellulose (24%) and cellulose (38%), and bioconversion of both fractions to ethanol should
be considered for a viable process. We have evaluated the hydrolysis of pretreated bagasse with combinations of cellulase,
β-glucosidase, and hemicellulase. Ground bagasse was pretreated either by the AFEX process (2NH3: 1 biomass, 100 °C, 30 min) or with NH4OH (0.5 g NH4OH of a 28% [v/v] per gram dry biomass; 160 °C, 60 min), and composition analysis showed that the glucan and xylan fractions remained largely
intact. The enzyme activities of four commercial xylanase preparations and supernatants of four laboratory-grown fungi were
determined and evaluated for their ability to boost xylan hydrolysis when added to cellulase and β-glucosidase (10 filter
paper units [FPU]: 20 cellobiase units [CBU]/g glucan). At 1% glucan loading, the commercial enzyme preparations (added at
10% or 50% levels of total protein in the enzyme preparations) boosted xylan and glucan hydrolysis in both pretreated bagasse
samples. Xylanase addition at 10% protein level also improved hydrolysis of xylan and glucan fractions up to 10% glucan loading
(28% solids loading). Significant xylanase activity in enzyme cocktails appears to be required for improving hydrolysis of
both glucan and xylan fractions of ammonia pretreated sugar cane bagasse. 相似文献

Plasma-assisted pretreated wheat straw was investigated for cellulase and xylanase production by Trichoderma reesei fermentation. Fermentations were conducted with media containing washed and unwashed plasma-assisted pretreated wheat straw
as carbon source which was sterilized by autoclavation. To account for any effects of autoclavation, a comparison was made
with unsterilized media containing antibiotics. It was found that unsterilized washed plasma-assisted pretreated wheat straw
(which contained antibiotics) was best suited for the production of xylanases (110 IU ml−1) and cellulases (0.5 filter paper units (FPU) ml−1). Addition of Avicel boosted enzyme titers with the highest cellulase titers (1.5 FPU ml−1) found with addition of 50 % w/w Avicel and with the highest xylanase production (350 IU ml−1) reached in the presence of 10 % w/w Avicel. Comparison with enzyme titers from other nonrefined feedstocks suggests that plasma pretreated wheat straw is a promising
and suitable substrate for cellulase and hemicellulase production. 相似文献

To improve the enzymatic hydrolytic efficiency and reduce the supplementation of enzymes, the mixture designed experimental
approach was used to optimize the composition of enzyme mixture and promote the hydrolysis of ball-milled corn stover. From
the experimental results, a synergistic effect was found when combinations of the three enzymes, two kinds of cellulases and
a kind of xylanase, were used. The optimal hydrolysis of pretreated corn stover accorded with enzymes activity ration of FPU/CMCase/β-glucosidase/xylanase = 4.4:1:75:829,
and the hydrolysis efficiency of corn stover increased significantly compared with using individual enzyme. The results indicated
that the mixture design experiment could be an effective tool for optimized enzyme mixture for lignocellulose hydrolysis. 相似文献

A newly isolated thermophilic fungal strain from Tunisian soil samples was identified as Talaromyces thermophilus and was selected for its ability to produce extracellular hemicellulases when grown on various lignocellulosic substrates. Following the optimization of carbon source, nitrogen source, and initial pH of the growth medium in submerged liquid cultures, yields as high as 10.00?±?0.15 and 0.21?±?0.02 U/ml were obtained for xylanase and β-xylosidase, respectively. In fact, wheat bran was found to be a good inducer of hemicellulase enzymes, mainly β-xylosidase. The optimal temperature and pH of the xylanase activity were 75°C and 8.0, respectively. This enzyme exhibited a remarkable stability and retained 100% of its original activity at 50°C for 7 days at pH?7.0–8.0. The half-lives of the enzyme were 4 h at 80°C, 2 h at 90°C, and 1 h at 100°C. T. thermophilus could therefore be considered as a satisfactory and promising producer of thermostable xylanases. Crude enzyme of T. thermophilus rich in xylanase and β-xylosidase was established for the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials as wheat bran. 相似文献

In biomass-to-ethanol processes a physico-chemical pretreatment of the lignocellulosic biomass is a critical requirement for enhancing the accessibility of the cellulose substrate to enzymatic attack. This report evaluates the efficacy on barley and wheat straw of three different pretreatment procedures: acid or water impregnation followed by steam explosion versus hot water extraction. The pretreatments were compared after enzyme treatment using a cellulase enzyme system, Celluclast 1.5 L from Trichoderma reesei, and a beta-glucosidase, Novozyme 188 from Aspergillus niger. Barley straw generally produced higher glucose concentrations after enzymatic hydrolysis than wheat straw. Acid or water impregnation followed by steam explosion of barley straw was the best pretreatment in terms of resulting glucose concentration in the liquid hydrolysate after enzymatic hydrolysis. When the glucose concentrations obtained after enzymatic hydrolyses were related to the potential glucose present in the pretreated residues, the highest yield, approximately 48% (g g-1), was obtained with hot water extraction pretreatment of barley straw; this pretreatment also produced highest yields for wheat straw, producing a glucose yield of approximately 39% (g g-1). Addition of extra enzyme (Celluclast 1.5 L+Novozyme 188) during enzymatic hydrolysis resulted in the highest total glucose concentrations from barley straw, 32-39 g L-1, but the relative increases in glucose yields were higher on wheat straw than on barley straw. Maldi-TOF MS analyses of supernatants of pretreated barley and wheat straw samples subjected to acid and water impregnation, respectively, and steam explosion, revealed that the water impregnated + steam-exploded samples gave a wider range of pentose oligomers than the corresponding acid-impregnated samples. 相似文献

Hemicelluloses are polysaccharides of low molecular weight containing 100 to 200 glycosidic residues. In plants, the xylans or the hemicelluloses are situated between the lignin and the collection of cellulose fibers underneath. The xylan is the most common hemicellulosic polysaccharide in cell walls of land plants, comprising a backbone of xylose residues linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. So, xylanolytic enzymes from microorganism have attracted a great deal of attention in the last decade, particularly because of their biotechnological characteristics in various industrial processes, related to food, feed, ethanol, pulp, and paper industries. A microbial screening of xylanase producer was carried out in Brazilian Cerrado area in Selviria city, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil. About 50 bacterial strains and 15 fungal strains were isolated from soil sample at 35 °C. Between these isolated microorganisms, a bacterium Lysinibacillus sp. and a fungus Neosartorya spinosa as good xylanase producers were identified. Based on identification processes, Lysinibacillus sp. is a new species and the xylanase production by this bacterial genus was not reported yet. Similarly, it has not reported about xylanase production from N. spinosa. The bacterial strain P5B1 identified as Lysinibacillus sp. was cultivated on submerged fermentation using as substrate xylan, wheat bran, corn straw, corncob, and sugar cane bagasse. Corn straw and wheat bran show a good xylanase activity after 72 h of fermentation. A fungus identified as N. spinosa (strain P2D16) was cultivated on solid-state fermentation using as substrate source wheat bran, wheat bran plus sawdust, corn straw, corncob, cassava bran, and sugar cane bagasse. Wheat bran and corncobs show the better xylanase production after 72 h of fermentation. Both crude xylanases were characterized and a bacterial xylanase shows optimum pH for enzyme activity at 6.0, whereas a fungal xylanase has optimum pH at 5.0–5.5. They were stable in the pH range 5.0–10.0 and 5.5–8.5 for bacterial and fungal xylanase, respectively. The optimum temperatures were 55C and 60 °C for bacterial and fungal xylanase, respectively, and they were thermally stable up to 50 °C. 相似文献

Probing the role of N-linked glycans in the stability and activity of fungal cellobiohydrolases by mutational analysis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The filamentous fungi Trichoderma reesei and Penicillium funiculosum produce highly effective enzyme mixtures that degrade the cellulose and hemicellulose components of plant cell walls. Many
fungal species produce a glycoside hydrolase family 7 (Cel7A) cellobiohydrolase, a class of enzymes that catalytically process
from the reducing end of cellulose. A direct amino acid comparison of these two enzymes shows that they not only have high
amino acid homology, but also contain analogous N-linked glycosylation sites on the catalytic domain. We have previously shown (Jeoh et al. in Biotechnol Biofuels, 1:10,
2008) that expression of T. reesei cellobiohydrolase I in a commonly used industrial expression host, Aspergillus niger var. awamori, results in an increase in the amount of N-linked glycosylation of the enzyme, which negatively affects crystalline cellulose degradation activity as well as thermal
stability. This complementary study examines the significance of individual N-linked glycans on the surface of the catalytic domain of Cel7A cellobiohydrolases from T. reesei and P. funiculosum by genetically adding or removing N-linked glycosylation motifs using site directed mutagenesis. Modified enzymes, expressed in A. niger var. awamori, were tested for activity and thermal stability. It was concluded that N-linked glycans in peptide loops that form part of the active site tunnel have the greatest impact on both thermal stability
and enzymatic activity on crystalline cellulose for both the T. reesei and P. funiculosum Cel7A enzymes. Specifically, for the Cel7A T. reesei enzyme expressed in A. niger var. awamori, removal of the N384 glycosylation site yields a mutant with 70% greater activity after 120 h compared to the heterologously
expressed wild type T. reesei enzyme. In addition, similar activity improvements were found to be associated with the addition of a new glycosylation motif
at N194 in P. funiculosum. This mutant also exhibits 70% greater activity after 120 h compared to the wild type P. funiculosum enzyme expressed in A. niger var. awamori. Overall, this study demonstrates that “tuning” enzyme glycosylation for expression from heterologous expression hosts is
essential for generating engineered enzymes with optimal stability and activity. 相似文献

Sugarcane bagasse was pretreated with the white-rot fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora for 30 d of incubation. The solid-state fermentation of 800 g of bagasse was carried out in 20-L bioreactors with an inoculum charge of 250 mg of fungal mycelium/kg of bagasse. The oxidative enzymes manganese peroxidase (MnP), lignin peroxidase (LiP), and lac-case (Lac) and the hydrolytic enzyme xylanase (Xyl) were measured by standard methods and related to the fungus’s potential for delignification. Among the lignocellulolytic assayed enzymes, Xyl was detected in larger quantity (4478 IU/kg), followed by MnP (236 IU/kg). LiP and Lac were not detected. The results of chemical analysis and mass component loss showed that C. subvermispora was selective to lignin degradation. Pretreated sugarcane bagasse and control pulps were obtained by soda/anthraquinone (AQ) pulping. Pulp yields, kappa number, and viscosity of all pulps were determined by chemical analysis of the samples. Yields of soda/AQ ranged from 46 to 54%, kappa numbers were 15–25, and the viscosity ranged from 3.6 to 7 cP for pulps obtained from pretreated sugarcane bagasse. 相似文献

Fermentation of Biologically Pretreated Wheat Straw for Ethanol Production: Comparison of Fermentative Microorganisms and Process Configurations 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass with white-rot fungi to produce bioethanol is an environmentally friendly alternative to the commonly used physico-chemical processes. After biological pretreatment, a solid substrate composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, the two latter with a composition lower than that of the initial substrate, is obtained. In this study, six microorganisms and four process configurations were utilised to ferment a hydrolysate obtained from wheat straw pretreated with the white-rot fungus Irpex lacteus. To enhance total sugars utilisation, five of these microorganisms are able to metabolise, in addition to glucose, most of the pentoses obtained after the hydrolysis of wheat straw by the application of a mixture of hemicellulolytic and cellulolytic enzymes. The highest overall ethanol yield was obtained with the yeast Pachysolen tannophilus. Its application in combination with the best process configuration yielded 163 mg ethanol per gram of raw wheat straw, which was between 23 and 35 % greater than the yields typically obtained with a conventional bioethanol process, in which wheat straw is pretreated using steam explosion and fermented with the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 相似文献

The synergistic action between Thermobifida fusca exocellulase Cel6B and endocellulase Cel5A on sodium hydroxide pretreated bacterial cellulose (BC) was determined. The activities
of Cel6B and Cel5A were tested singly and both activities were dramatically increased on pretreated BC, especially in the
early stage of hydrolysis. Cel5A, which attacks the cellulose chain randomly, showed a larger increase on NaOH treated BC
than Cel6B. Mixtures of the two enzymes were also able to degrade NaOH treated BC faster than BC and the kinetics of the mixture
differed from that of the individual enzymes. The degree of synergistic effect (DSE) on BC decreased dramatically with time
of hydrolysis. However, the DSE on NaOH treated BC was almost constant throughout the incubation, with a smaller effect at
higher NaOH concentrations. The change caused by NaOH did not increase the DSE, although each individual cellulase activity
increased. This showed that synergistic activity was more effective on recalcitrant cellulose, which requires effective cooperation
between the cellulase components for hydrolysis. 相似文献

The benefits of applying cellulose selective enzymes as analytical tools for chemical structure characterization of cellulose
derivatives have been frequently addressed over the years. In a recent study the high selectivity of cellulase Cel45A from
Trichoderma reesei (Tr Cel45A) was utilized for relating the chemical structure to the flow properties of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). However,
in order to take full advantage of the enzymatic hydrolysis the enzyme selectivity on the cellulose substrate must be further
investigated. Therefore, the selectivity of Tr Cel45A on CMC was studied by chemical sample preparation of the enzyme products
followed by mass spectrometric chemical structure characterization. The results strongly suggest that, in accordance with
recent studies, also this highly selective endoglucanase is able to catalyze hydrolysis of glucosidic bonds adjacent to mono-substituted
anhydroglucose units (AGUs). Furthermore, the results also indicate that substituents on the nearby AGUs will affect the hydrolysis. 相似文献

Xylanase production of Trichoderma reesei Rut C-30 was examined at different initial pH values (4.8, 5.9, and 7.0) on rice straw in shake flasks, and in a fermentor,
for the best pH condition. Enzyme performance was tested on ammonia-treated dwarf elephant grass. The maximum xylanase activities,
92 and 122 IU/mL, were obtained at pH 4.8 in the shake flasks and fermentor, respectively, in which good growth of the fungus
was observed during the first 24 h and consumption of proteins dissolved from the rice straw caused the pH to rise later to
values between 6.4 and 6.7 (optimal for xylanase production). The xylanases from T. reesei were as effective as Multifect XL, a commercial enzyme preparation, in hydrolyzing ammonia-treated elephant grass. 相似文献

Trichoderma atroviride 676 was studied to evaluate its efficiency in the production of some lignocellulolytic enzymes, using lignocellulosic residual biomass. Best results were obtained when 3.0 % (w/v) untreated sugarcane bagasse was used (61.3 U mL?1 for xylanase, 1.9 U mL?1 for endoglucanase, 0.25 U mL?1 for FPase, and 0.17 U mL?1 for β-glucosidase) after 3–4 days fermentation. The maximal enzymatic activity for endoglucanase, FPase, and xylanase were observed at 50–60 °C and pH?4.0–5.0, whereas thermal stability at 50 °C (CMCase and FPase) or 40 °C (xylanase) was obtained after 8 h. Zymograms have shown two bands of 104 and 200 kDa for endoglucanases and three bands for xylanase (23, 36, and 55.7 kDa). The results obtained with T. atroviride strain 676 were comparable to those obtained with the cellulolytic strain Trichoderma reesei RUT-C30, indicating, in the studied conditions, its great potential for biotechnological application, especially lignocellulose biomass hydrolysis. 相似文献

Alkaline peroxide mechanical pulping (APMP) of wheat straw with enzyme treatment was studied. Instead of direct enzyme pretreatment
on wheat straw, an alternative treatment method was used, in which coarse pulps from refiner defibrated wheat straw rather
than wheat straw were pretreated with a crude enzyme containing mainly xylanase, then impregnated with alkaline H2O2 solution and further refined. The optimum conditions of enzyme treatment were xylanase dosage of 10–15 IU/g of oven-dried
wheat straw, 90 min, 50–60°C, pulp consistency of 5–10%, and initial pH of 5.0, and those for chemical impregnation were 6%
NaOH, 70–80°C, 60–90 min, and 4 to 5% H2O2. Enzyme treatment improved pulpability of wheat straw by the APMP process, and final pulp quality such as brightness, breaking
length, and burst index of pulp. Pulp from the APMP process with enzyme treatment could be bleached to a brightness of 70.5%
ISO by two-stage H2O2 bleaching sequence with only 4% H2O2, and breaking length of the bleach pulp reached 4470 m. 相似文献

Despite their potential biotechnological applications, cold-active xylanolytic enzymes have been poorly studied. In this work, 38 fungi isolated from marine sponges collected in King George Island, Antarctica, were screened as new sources of cold-active xylanases. All of them showed xylanase activity at 15 and 23 °C in semiquantitative plate assays. One of these isolates, Cladosporium sp., showed the highest activity and was characterized in detail. Cladosporium sp. showed higher xylanolytic activity when grown on beechwood or birchwood xylan and wheat bran, but wheat straw and oat bran were not so good inducers of this activity. The optimal pH for xylanase activity was 6.0, although pH stability was slightly wider (pH 5–7). On the other hand, Cladosporium sp. showed high xylanase activity at low temperatures and very low thermal stability. Interestingly, thermal stability was even lower after culture media were removed and replaced by buffer, suggesting that low molecular component(s) of the culture media could be important in the stabilization of cold-active xylanase activity. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first report on extracellular xylanase production by fungi associated with Antarctic marine sponges. 相似文献

Bacteria isolated from thermophilic environment that can produce cellulase as well as utilise agro-waste biomass have a high potential for developing thermostable cellulase required in the biofuel industry. The cost for cellulase represents a significant challenge in converting lignocellulose to fermentable sugars for biofuel production. Among three potential bacteria examined, Bacillus licheniformis 2D55 (accession no. KT799651) was found to produce the highest cellulolytic activity (CMCase 0.33 U/mL and FPase 0.09 U/mL) at 18–24 h fermentation when grown on microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as a carbon source in shake flask at 50 °C. Cellulase production process was further conducted on the untreated and NaOH pretreated rice straw (RS), rice husk (RH), sugarcane bagasse (BAG) and empty fruit bunch (EFB). Untreated BAG produced the highest FPase (0.160 U/mL), while the highest CMCase (0.150 U/mL) was supported on the pretreated RH. The mixture of untreated BAG and pretreated RH as agro-waste cocktail has remarkably improved CMCase (3.7- and 1.4-fold) and FPase (2.5- and 11.5-fold) compared to the untreated BAG and pretreated RH, respectively. The mechanism of cellulase production explored through SEM analysis and the location of cellulase enzymes of the isolate was also presented. Agro-waste cocktail supplementation provides an alternative method for an efficient production of cellulase. 相似文献
