Bacterial xylanases: biology to biotechnology
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this review, a comprehensive discussion exclusively on bacterial xylanases; their gene organization; different factors and conditions affecting enzyme yield and activity; and their commercial application have been deliberated in the light of recent research findings and extensive information mining. Improved understanding of biological properties and genetics of bacterial xylanase will enable exploitation of these enzymes for many more ingenious biotechnological and industrial applications.

Bacterial cellulases and xylanases
Although this review focusses primarily on bacterial cellulases and xylanases, there is considerable overlap in the molecular biology and biochemistry of prokaryotic and fungal forms of these enzymes. Therefore, fungal plant cell wall hydrolases are discussed where comparisons with the corresponding bacterial enzymes are important. Cellulases and xylanases encompass a collection of enzymes whos...
متن کاملBiochemistry and genetics of microbial xylanases.
Xylanases are classified into two major families (10 or F and 11 or G) of glycosyl hydrolases. Both use ion pair catalytic mechanisms and both retain anomeric configuration following hydrolysis. Family 10 xylanases are larger, more complex and produce smaller oligosaccharides; Family 11 xylanases are more specific for xylan. Alkaline-active and extreme-thermophilic enzymes are of particular int...
متن کاملThe endoxylanases from family 11: computer analysis of protein sequences reveals important structural and phylogenetic relationships.
Eighty-two amino acid sequences of the catalytic domains of mature endoxylanases belonging to family 11 have been aligned using the programs MATCHBOX and CLUSTAL. The sequences range in length from 175 to 233 residues. The two glutamates acting as catalytic residues are conserved in all sequences. A very good correlation is found between the presence (at position 100) of an asparagine in the so...
متن کاملPurification and molecular cloning of xylanases from the wood-feeding termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki.
Coptotermes formosanus is one of the most destructive termites in the southern part of Japan as well as in the United States. Hemicellulose is a noncellulosic polysaccharide found in plant cell walls, and xylan is the major constituent of hemicellulose. Since hemicellulose prevents access of cellulolytic enzymes to cellulose, enzymatic hydrolysis of hemicellulose is beneficial for cellulose dig...
متن کاملProduction of high level of cellulase-poor xylanases by wild strains of white-rot fungus Coprinellus disseminatus in solid-state fermentation.
The production, optimisation and partial characterisation of xylanases from newly isolated wild strains of Coprinellus disseminatus was performed in solid-state fermentation. Strains SH-1 and SH-2 showed high xylanase (727.78 and 227.99 IU/mL) with very low CMCase (0.925 and 0.660 IU/mL) and laccase (0.640 and 0.742 U/mL) activities at incubation time seven days, 37 degrees C and initial pH 6.4...
