Xylan-Degrading Catalytic Flagellar Nanorods.
Flagellin, the main component of flagellar filaments, is a protein possessing polymerization ability. In this work, a novel fusion construct of xylanase A from B. subtilis and Salmonella flagellin was created which is applicable to build xylan-degrading catalytic nanorods of high stability. The FliC-XynA chimera when overexpressed in a flagellin deficient Salmonella host strain was secreted int...
متن کاملCellulose- and xylan-degrading thermophilic anaerobic bacteria from biocompost.
Nine thermophilic cellulolytic clostridial isolates and four other noncellulolytic bacterial isolates were isolated from self-heated biocompost via preliminary enrichment culture on microcrystalline cellulose. All cellulolytic isolates grew vigorously on cellulose, with the formation of either ethanol and acetate or acetate and formate as principal fermentation products as well as lactate and g...
متن کاملCatalytic nanomotors: autonomous movement of striped nanorods.
Rod-shaped particles, 370 nm in diameter and consisting of 1 microm long Pt and Au segments, move autonomously in aqueous hydrogen peroxide solutions by catalyzing the formation of oxygen at the Pt end. In 2-3% hydrogen peroxide solution, these rods move predominantly along their axis in the direction of the Pt end at speeds of up to 10 body lengths per second. The dimensions of the rods and th...
متن کاملCatalytic nanomotors: remote-controlled autonomous movement of striped metallic nanorods.
Powering nanoscale machinery by nanosized motors that move by in situ conversion of stored chemical energy is one of the most interesting challenges facing nanotechnology. Such a procedure would circumvent the need for an external macroscopic power source. In nature, nanoscale motors typically operate by energy derived from the enzymatic catalysis of spontaneous reactions. At the nanoscale, int...
متن کاملReconstitution of a thermostable xylan-degrading enzyme mixture from the bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor bescii.
Xylose, the major constituent of xylans, as well as the side chain sugars, such as arabinose, can be metabolized by engineered yeasts into ethanol. Therefore, xylan-degrading enzymes that efficiently hydrolyze xylans will add value to cellulases used in hydrolysis of plant cell wall polysaccharides for conversion to biofuels. Heterogeneous xylan is a complex substrate, and it requires multiple ...
