Xylanases (EC3.2.1.8) catalyze the hydrolysis of xylan, the major constituent of hemicellulose. The use of these enzymes could
greatly improve the overall economics of processing lignocellulosic materials for the generation of liquid fuels and chemicals.
The hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrodictium abyssi, which was originally isolated from marine hot abyssal sites, grows optimally at 97°C and is a prospective source of highly
thermostable xylanase. Its endoxylanase was shown to be highly thermostable (over 100 m in at 105°C) and active even at 110°C.
The growth of the deep-sea archaeon P. abyssi was investigated using different culture techniques. Among the carbohydrates used, beech wood xylan, birch wood glucuronoxylan
and the arabinoxylan from oats pelt appeared to be good inducers for endoxylanase and β-xylosidase production. The highest
production of arabinofuranosidase, however, was detected in the cell extracts after growth on xylose and pyruvate, indicating
that the intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle acted as a nonrepressing carbon source for the production of thi enzyme.
Electron microscopic studies did not show a significant difference in the cell surface (e.g., xylanosomes) when P. abyssi cells were grown on different carbohydrates. The main kinetic parameters of the organism have been determined. The cell yield
was shown to be very low owing to incomplete substrate utilization, but a very high maximal specific growth rate was determined
(μmax=0.0195) at 90°C and pH 6.0. We also give information on the problems that arise during the fermentation of this hyperthermophilic
archaeon at elevated temperatures. 相似文献

We reflect on some of our studies on the hyperthermophilic archaeon, Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD1 and its enzymes. The strain can grow at temperatures up to the boiling point and also represents one of the simplest forms of life. As expected, all enzymes displayed remarkable thermostability, and we have determined some of the basic principles that govern this feature. To our delight, many of the enzymes exhibited unique biochemical properties and novel structures not found in mesophilic proteins. Here, we focus on a few enzymes that are useful in application, and whose three-dimensional structures are characteristic of thermostable enzymes. 相似文献

Respiratory chain complexes convert energy by coupling electron flow to transmembrane proton translocation. Owing to a lack of atomic structures of cytochrome bc1 complex (Complex III) from thermophilic bacteria, little is known about the adaptations of this macromolecular machine to hyperthermophilic environments. In this study, we purified the cytochrome bc1 complex of Aquifex aeolicus, one of the most extreme thermophilic bacteria known, and determined its structure with and without an inhibitor at 3.3 Å resolution. Several residues unique for thermophilic bacteria were detected that provide additional stabilization for the structure. An extra transmembrane helix at the N‐terminus of cyt. c1 was found to greatly enhance the interaction between cyt. b and cyt. c1, and to bind a phospholipid molecule to stabilize the complex in the membrane. These results provide the structural basis for the hyperstability of the cytochrome bc1 complex in an extreme thermal environment. 相似文献
