Degradation of flatulence-causing oligosaccharides in soymilk by α-galactosidase—A novel thermotolerant from Penicillium purpurogenum

چکیده
α-Galactosidase from Penicillium purpurogenum was induced to a greater extent in the culture medium by arabinose, galactose, lactose and guar galactomannan. The enzyme was purified by acetone precipitation and DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography. The purified enzyme showed a single band in both native-PAGE and SDS-PAGE. The molecular mass of enzyme was found to be between 107 and 110 kDa. The enzyme exhibited the optimum pH and temperature at 5.0 and 55oC, respectively. α-Galactosidase was strongly inhibited by Ag and Hg, while Fe enhanced the activity. PMSF did not inhibit α-galactosidase activity, whereas N-bromosuccinimide completely inhibited the enzyme activity. Further, galactose and melibiose moderately inhibited the enzyme activity. The Km values for PNPG, melibiose, raffinose and stachyose were found to be 0.20, 5.26, 10 and 9.1, respectively. α-Galactosidase completely hydrolyzed flatulence-causing raffinose and stachyose of soymilk in 1.45 h.

Cloning and high-level expression of alpha-galactosidase cDNA from Penicillium purpurogenum.
The cDNA coding for Penicillium purpurogenum alpha-galactosidase (alphaGal) was cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence of the alpha-Gal cDNA showed that the mature enzyme consisted of 419 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 46,334 Da. The derived amino acid sequence of the enzyme showed similarity to eukaryotic alphaGals from plants, animals, yeasts, and filamentous fung...
متن کاملReduction of non-digestible oligosaccharides in soymilk: application of engineered lactic acid bacteria that produce alpha-galactosidase.
Human consumption of soy-derived products has been limited by the presence of non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDO), such as the alpha-galactooligosaccharides raffinose and stachyose. Most mammals, including man, lack pancreatic alpha-galactosidase (alpha-Gal), which is necessary for the hydrolysis of these sugars. However, such NDO can be fermented by gas-producing microorganisms present in th...
متن کاملProperties of Two Novel Esterases Identified from Culture Supernatant of Penicillium purpurogenum Grown on Sugar Beet Pulp
BACKGROUND The filamentous fungus Penicillium purpurogenum grows on a variety of natural carbon sources, such as sugar beet pulp, and secretes to the medium a large number of enzymes that degrade the carbohydrate components of lignocellulose. Sugar beet pulp is rich in pectin, and the purpose of this work is to identify novel esterases produced by the fungus, which may participate in pectin deg...

α-galactosidase purified from Acinetobacter sp. was immobilized in four different matricesCalcium alginate, Gelatin, Agarose and k-Carrageenan. On comparative analysis, k-Carrageenan immobilized enzyme showed highest immobilization yield of 68% and storage stability for 30 days. Gelatin showed an immobilization yield of 57%. Soluble enzyme led to decrease of 84% in raffinose and 76% in stachyos...

The production of α-galactosidase from the wild fungal strain Aspergillus foetidus MTCC 6322 using solid state fermentation (SSF), its characterization, and its efficacy in the hydrolysis of soymilk using response surface methodology were studied. The optimum conditions for production of α-galactosidase by SSF were: wheat bran (10 g), moisture content (64%), inoculum volume (1.0 mL; 6 x 10(7) s...
