Screening of Various Raw Starches on Production of Thermostable Amylopullulanase by Clostridium thermosulfurogenes SVM17

چکیده
A thermostable amylopullulanase producing Clostridium thermosulfurogenes SVM17 was selected for the study. Culture conditions for growth and enzyme production parameters were optimized. Enzyme synthesis occurred at temperatures between 50 and 70°C with an optimum of 60°C. The enzyme production was observed between pH 4.0 and 9.0 with an optimum of pH 7.5. Maximum growth and enzyme production was reached in 12 and 24 h of incubation, respectively. Various raw starches for amylopullulanase production were also studied. The results showed that, different raw starches influenced the enzyme yields to a varied extent. Among them, raw sago starch was found to be the best carbon source followed by wheat and potato starch, respectively on both amylase and pullulanase yields.

The extensive efforts to screen thermophilic fungi and bacteria, isolated from various environmental samples, have resulted in the selection of Thermomucor indicae-seudaticae, Geobacillus thermoleovorans NP33 and G. thermoleovorans NP54 for the production of glucoamylase, amylopullulanase and alpha-amylase, respectively. Submerged and solid-state fermentation processes were optimized for maximi...

Glucose isomerases produced by Thermoanaerobacter strain B6A and Clostridium thermosulfurogenes strain 4B were purified 10-11-fold to homogeneity and their physicochemical and catalytic properties were determined. Both purified enzymes displayed very similar properties (native Mr 200,000, tetrameric subunit composition, and apparent pH optima 7.0-7.5). The enzymes were stable at pH 5.5-12.0, an...

Clostridium thermosulfurogenes, an anaerobic bacterium which ferments starch into ethanol at 62 degrees C, produced an active extracellular amylase and contained intracellular glucoamylase but not pullulanase activity. The extracellular amylase was purified 2.4-fold, and its general physicochemical and catalytic properties were examined. The extracellular amylase was characterized as a beta-amy...

Extensive characterization of the thermostable alpha-amylase of Clostridium thermosulfurogenes EM1, recently reclassified as Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurigenes, clearly demonstrated that the enzyme is a cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase). Product analysis after incubation of the enzyme with starch revealed formation of alpha-, beta-, and gamma-cyclodextrins, as well as linear sugar...

Thermoanaerobic bacteria are of considerable interest as producers of thermostable amylolytic enzymes. The soluble amylolytic enzyme system of Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum DSM 571 was fractionated into a pullulanase, a glucoamylase, and an alpha-glucosidase. The enzymes were purified to homogeneity and their physical and catalytic properties were studied. The pullulanase, which c...
