A novel family 9 β-1,3(4)-glucanase from thermoacidophilic Alicyclobacillus sp. A4 with potential applications in the brewing industry

Abstract: An endo-beta-1,3(4)-glucanase gene, Agl9A, was cloned from Alicyclobacillus sp. A4 and expressed in Pichia pastoris. Its deduced amino acid sequence shared the highest identity (48%) with an endo-beta-1,4-glucansae from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius that belongs to family 9 of the glycoside hydrolases. The purified recombinant Agl9A exhibited relatively wide substrate specificity, including lichenan (109%), barley beta-glucan (100%), CMC-Na (15.02%), and laminarin (6.19%). The optimal conditions for Agl9A ac… Show more

“…Exogenous enzymes, usually β-glucanases, have been used to improve lautering performance (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). Depending on the difference in substrate selectivity, GH family origin, and presence of inhibitors and modular architecture, xylanases have different degradation behaviour towards arabinoxylan (16).…”

“…Among them, endo-1,3-1,4-b-glucanases and endo-1,3(4)-b-glucanases have been widely applied as industrial enzymes in the brewing process to reduce the viscosity and filtration time of mash and in animal feed to improve the digestibility of b-glucan [2,7,38]. A number of bacterial glucanases have been reported from Streptomyces [33], Fibrobacter succinogenes [36], Bacillus [30,37], and Paenibacillus [10,39].…”

“…Alicyclobacillus sp. contain endoglucanases (Bai et al ., , b) and xylanases (Bai et al ., ; Wang et al ., ), as may some species of Sulfolobus (Girfoglio et al ., ). Most work has focused on fungal enzymes, some of these are quite acid‐ or thermal‐tolerant (Iefuji et al ., ; Kimura et al ., ; de Lemos Esteves et al ., ; Collins et al ., ; Viikari et al ., ; Zhang et al ., ), and include enzymes produced by taxa associated with geothermal or acid environments that we have found in BSL, such as Acidomyces or Phialophora .…”
