“…Plates/broth containing BTB were yellow at lower pH value and changed to dark blue at higher pH value. Hence, a dense dark blue color is produced if microorganism produces L-asparaginase [25]. In control plate without dye, organism growth was observed with no change in media color.…”

Actinomycetes are most valuable microbes because they are reported to produce different kinds of novel antibiotics and bioactive compounds. L-asparaginase enzyme is a chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of cancer. The present study reports production and characterization of purified L-asparaginase from an actinomycetes isolate. The isolate (A-164) was found to be a potent producer of L-asparaginase with an enzyme activity of 26.67 international unit (IU)/ml. Biochemical characterization of the isolate indicated that it belongs to genus Streptomyces. Laboratory scale enzyme production studies were undertaken using the standard medium. Further, the enzyme was purified by salt precipitation, anion exchange chromatography, and size exclusion chromatography. The purified enzyme exhibited the specific activity of 390 IU/mg with 60-fold purification and yield of 42% with a molecular weight of 34 KDa. The purified enzyme demonstrated the highest activity at pH 6.0 and temperature 35°C. The enzyme retained its activity till temperature of 50°C, indicating that it is a thermostable enzyme. A study on the effect of various additives on enzyme activity was also undertaken. The K m and V max values for the purified L-asparaginase were 0.065 mM and 20.80 IU/ml, respectively. The enzyme can further be used for health care and industrial applications.

ABSTRACT. The treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia is challenging due to side effects, efficacy of the available drugs, and costs. Utilization of L-asparaginase as a therapeutic agent is essential to increase survival of patients. However, costs are elevated and the bacterial forms of the enzyme cause reactions that result in its inhibition by the immune system. Therapeutics alternatives may be searched among eukaryote producers, like fungi. Twelve strains of filamentous fungi were evaluated regarding expression of L-asparaginase activity. The profile of nitrogen assimilation and radial growth were determined for strains which showed higher production ratios. Three media were formulated after selection of the carbon source and carbon/nitrogen ratio that better induced L-asparaginase expression by Penicillium sp. and Fusarium sp. The enzyme activity produced in liquid media reached 8.3 U min.-1 mL -1 (Penicillium sp. T6.2) and 11.4 U min.-1 mL -1 (Fusarium sp.) after 72 hours of cultivation in Bacelar-1 medium. These data show that good producers can be found among fungi, and adjustment of productive processes may offer an alternative to implement eukaryote L-asparaginase production.Keywords: therapeutic enzymes, filamentous fungi, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Penicillium sp., Fusarium sp.Produção fúngica da enzima antileucêmica L-asparaginase: da triagem ao desenvolvimento de um meio de cultivo RESUMO. O tratamento da leucemia linfoblástica aguda é desafiador devido aos efeitos adversos, à eficácia dos fármacos disponíveis e aos custos envolvidos. A utilização de L-asparaginase como agente terapêutico é fundamental para aumentar a sobrevida do paciente. Porém, seu custo é elevado e as formas bacterianas da enzima causam reações que resultam na sua inibição pelo sistema imune. Alternativas terapêuticas podem ser buscadas entre produtores eucariontes, como os fungos. Doze linhagens de fungos filamentosos foram avaliadas quanto à expressão de atividade de L-asparaginase. O perfil de assimilação de nitrogênio e o crescimento radial foram determinados para as linhagens com maior razão de produção. Três meios foram formulados após a seleção da fonte de carbono e da razão carbono/nitrogênio que melhor induziram a expressão de L-asparaginase por Penicillium sp. e Fusarium sp. A atividade enzimática produzida em meio líquido alcançou 8,32 U min. (Fusarium sp.) após 72 horas de cultivo no meio Bacelar-1. Esses dados mostram que bons produtores podem ser encontrados entre os fungos e que ajustes nos processos produtivos podem oferecer uma alternativa para a implementação da produção de L-asparaginase eucarionte.Palavras-chave: enzimas terapêuticas, fungos filamentosos, leucemia linfocítica aguda, Penicillium sp., Fusarium sp.

“…Além disso, outro problema envolvido com a enzima bacteriana, é a produção intracelular da mesma. Esse fato torna o processo de extração e purificação da enzima muito difícil e bastante oneroso (MAHAJAN et al, 2013). Diante disso, a busca por outras fontes de L-Asparaginase tem sido alvo de muitas pesquisas, com o objetivo de se obter a produção de enzimas extracelulares pelos micro-organismos, com altos rendimentos, além de apresentar menos efeitos adversos .…”

Asparaginase strain producer, were used. Subsequently, 42 fungal strains from the brazilian savanna were isolated and a screening to assess the ability of the same for the production of L-Asparaginase was performed through the halo test. Out of the 42 isolated stains, 22 species showed red halo, which may indicate the production of LAsparaginase. These 22 species were cultivated in the liquid medium under controlled agitation and temperature and only 10 were positive for enzyme production. Then, the top 3 producing strains were grown in different culture conditions to improve the production of L-Asparaginase. Regarding the carbon sources, glucose utilization was essential for enzyme production. L-Proline seems to be the most effective source of nitrogen for producing L-Asparaginase. In addition, were found different optimum pH values of the different fungal strains cultivation.
