Endo-β-1,4-glucanase plays an essential role in the breakdown of cellulosic substances that consist of D-glucose units linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. In this work, the gene encoding a novel extracellular glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 8 endo-β-1,4-glucanase (GluS) from Glacieibacterium sp. PAMC 29367, an Antarctic lichen (Megaspora verrucosa)-associated bacterial species, was identified, cloned, and characterized. The GluS gene (1080-bp) was predicted to express a non-modular endo-β-1,4-glucanase (38,347 Da) that possesses a single catalytic GH8 domain, showing 65.5% amino acid sequence identity with an uncharacterized endoglucanase from Alphaproteobacteria bacterium (GenBank accession number: PZN92894). Recombinant endo-β-1,4-glucanase proteins (rGluS: 39.0 kDa) produced in Escherichia coli BL21 exhibited the highest carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)-degrading activity at pH 5.0 and 40°C, while maintaining over 80% of maximal endo-β-1,4-glucanase activity even at 25°C. Furthermore, the enzyme exhibited notable stability across a broad pH range from 4.5 to 10.0. rGluS activity was greatly stimulated by >1.3-fold in the presence of 1 mM Co2+, whereas it was nearly completely inhibited by 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate or 5 mM N-bromosuccinimide. The specific activity (31.1 U mg–1) and kcat/Km (11.02 mg–1 s–1 mL) values of rGluS for CMC were marginally greater than those for barley β-1,3-1,4-glucan, with a specific activity of 28.9 U mg–1 and kcat/Km of 8.79 mg–1 s–1 mL for barley β-1,3-1,4-glucan. The recombinant enzyme demonstrated no detectable biocatalytic activity for p-nitrophenylglucopyranoside, p-nitrophenylcellobioside, D-cellobiose, and D-cellotriose, while it could cleave D-cellotetraose to generate two molecules of D-cellobiose. Moreover, rGluS-mediated degradation of D-cellopentaose led mainly to D-cellobiose production along with D-glucose and D-cellotriose, while its hydrolysis of CMC yielded D-cellotriose as the dominant end product, accompanied by D-glucose, D-cellobiose and D-cellotetraose. The substrate preferences and degradation profiles of rGluS on cellulosic materials supported its classification as a true GH8 endo-acting β-1,4-glucanase without transglycosylation activity. The findings of this study suggest that rGluS represents a novel, highly active, cold-adapted GH8 endo-β-1,4-glucanase exhibiting broad pH stability, and may serve as an effective candidate for low-temperature processing in the food and textile industries.

Background: Bacillus subtilis naturally produces large amounts of 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) as the main byproduct during poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) fermentation using carbon sources. 2,3-BD is a promising platform chemicals in various industries, and co-production has great economic benefits. Thus, co-production of poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) and 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) by Bacillus subtilis were investigated for the first time. Results: In this study, a novel Bacillus subtilis CS13 was isolated that can efficiently co-production of γ-PGA and 2,3-BD. The fermentation medium and culture parameters by B. subtilis CS13 were optimized using statistical methods. It was observed that sucrose, L-glutamic acid, ammonium citrate, and MgSO 4 ·7H 2 O were favorable for γ-PGA and 2,3-BD co-production at pH 6.5 and 37 °C. A medium composed of 119.83 g/L sucrose, 48.85 g/L L-glutamic acid, 21.08 g/L ammonium citrate, and 3.21 g/L MgSO 4 ·7H 2 O was optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). The results show that the yields of γ-PGA and 2,3-BD reached 27.79 ± 0.87 g/L at 24 h and 57.05 ± 1.28 g/L at 84 h with the optimized medium, respectively. Conclusions: To our knowledge, the co-production of 2,3-BD and γ-PGA will reduce the costs of production and separation in theory and provide a new perspective for industrial production of γ-PGA and 2,3-BD. B. subtilis CS13 as a generally recognized as safe (GRAS) strain, has great promise for the co-production of 2,3-BD and γ-PGA.

Gellan gum is a water-soluble exopolysaccharide, it has applications in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. In this study, a gellan gum producing strain was isolated from rice root, and this strain was identified be the species of Sphingomonas azotifigens. The Plackett-Burman design was applied to investigate the main factors affecting gellan gum production by S. azotifigens GL-1 in a molasses and cheese whey based medium; the medium compositions were optimized by response surface methodology. The optimum cheese whey based medium consisted of cheese whey 68.34 g/L, Na2HPO4 14.58 g/L and KH2PO4 7.66 g/L, and the maximum gellan gum production that using this medium was 33.75 +/- 1.55 g/L. 14.75 +/- 0.65 g/L gellan gum was obtained with an optimized molasses medium, which consisted of molasses 50 g/L, Na2HPO4 9.71 g/L and KH2PO4 5.92 g/L. The molecular weight of gellan gum obtained from two medias were 1.06 x 10(6) and 0.89 x 10(6) Da, respectively. The cheese whey-derived gellan gum showed a higher rhamnose, lower glucuronic acid and higher glycerate content compared to the molasses-derived gellan gum. S. azotifigens GL-1 has a high gellan gum production capacity in a cheap medium suggesting it has great potential as an industrial gellan gum producer.

Background Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) is a promising biopolymer and has been applied in many fields. Bacillus siamensis SB1001 was a newly isolated poly-γ-glutamic acid producer with sucrose as its optimal carbon source. To improve the utilization of carbon source, and then molasses can be effectively used for γ-PGA production, 60 cobalt gamma rays was used to mutate the genes of B. siamensis SB1001. Results Bacillus siamensis IR10 was screened for the production of γ-PGA from untreated molasses. In batch fermentation, 17.86 ± 0.97 g/L γ-PGA was obtained after 15 h, which is 52.51% higher than that of its parent strain. Fed-batch fermentation was performed to further improve the yield of γ-PGA with untreated molasses, yielding 41.40 ± 2.01 g/L of γ-PGA with a productivity of 1.73 ± 0.08 g/L/h. An average γ-PGA productivity of 1.85 g/L/h was achieved in the repeated fed-batch fermentation. This is the first report of such a high γ-PGA productivity. The analysis of the enzyme activities showed that they were affected by the carbon sources, enhanced ICDH and GDH, and decreased ODHC, which are important for γ-PGA production. Conclusion These results suggest that untreated molasses can be used for economical and industrial-scale production of γ-PGA by B. siamensis IR10.

Bacillus subtilisnaturally produces large amounts of 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) as a main by-product during poly-gamma-glutamic acid (gamma-PGA) production. 2,3-BD is a promising platform chemical in various industries, and co-production of the two chemicals has great economic benefits. Co-production of gamma-PGA and 2,3-BD by a newly isolatedB. subtilisCS13 was investigated here. The fermentation medium and culture parameters of the process were optimized using statistical methods. It was observed that sucrose,l-glutamic acid, ammonium citrate, and MgSO4 center dot 7H(2)O were favorable for gamma-PGA and 2,3-BD co-production at culture pH of 6.5 and 37 degrees C. An optimal medium composed of 119.8 g/L sucrose, 48.8 g/Ll-glutamic acid, 21.1 g/L ammonium citrate, and 3.2 g/L MgSO4 center dot 7H(2)O was obtained by response surface methodology (RSM). The results show that the titers of gamma-PGA and 2,3-BD reached 27.8 +/- 0.9 g/L at 24 h and 57.1 +/- 1.3 g/L at 84 h with the optimized medium, respectively. gamma-PGA and 2,3-BD production byB. subtilisCS13 was significantly enhanced in fed-batch fermentations. gamma-PGA (36.5 +/- 1.1 g/L, productivity of 1.22 +/- 0.04 g/L/h) and 2,3-BD concentrations (119.6 +/- 2.8 g/L, productivity of 2.49 +/- 0.66 g/L/h) were obtained in the optimized medium with feeding sucrose. The co-production of 2,3-BD and gamma-PGA provides a new perspective for industrial production of gamma-PGA and 2,3-BD.

The XylH gene (1,167-bp) encoding a novel hemicellulase (41,584 Da) was identified from the genome of Microbacterium trichothecenolyticum HY-17, a gastrointestinal bacterium of Gryllotalpa orientalis. The enzyme consisted of a single catalytic domain, which is 74% identical to that of an endo-β-1,4-xylanase (GH10) from Isoptericola variabilis 225. Unlike other endo-β- 1,4-xylanases from invertebrate-symbiotic bacteria, rXylH was an alkali-tolerant multifunctional enzyme possessing endo-β-1,4-xylanase activity together with β-1,3/β-1,4- glucanase activity, which exhibited its highest xylanolytic activity at pH 9.0 and 60°C, and was relatively stable within a broad pH range of 5.0-10.0.

On the basis of the data presented, strain BS-B2(T) is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Aestuariivita boseongensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Aestuariivita boseongensis is BS-B2(T) ( = KCTC 42052(T) = CECT 8532(T)).
