Extracellular expression of alkali tolerant xylanase from Bacillus subtilis Lucky9 in E. coli and application for xylooligosaccharides production from agro-industrial waste
“…In this study, we used sodium alginate beads as carriers to immobilize a previously reported extracellular xylanase from Bacillus subtilis Lucky9 expressed in Escherichia coli . The characteristics of the immobilized enzyme were analyzed, and the results showed that it may have potential for use in the biobleaching industry [18].…”
In the paper industry, chlorine is often to use to treat the pulp for bleaching. After pulping, a large amount of xylan is present in the fiber. Xylanase can be used to degrade xylan in an eco-friendly process called biobleaching, which can help minimize the usage of chlorine in the delignification process. However, a bottleneck in the adoption of biobleaching is the cost of xylanase and the requirement that xylanase be active and stable at extreme conditions. Here, we investigated whether using sodium alginate beads to immobilize an extracellular xylanase from Bacillus subtilis (Lucky9) can reduce the potential cost of enzyme usage. The optimal pH and the activity of the immobilized enzyme was increased at optimal temperature compared to the free enzyme. In addition, immobilized xylanase was shown to be more stable than free xylanase. The results of this study suggest that the immobilized xylanase has potential applications in the biobleaching industry.

“…2 , lane 6) indicated the successful expression of xylanase gene. Recently, a xylanase gene from Bacillus subtilis into E. coli by using pET-22b(+) vector was expressed (21 kDa enzyme) 16 and the expression of 23.3 kDa xylanase enzyme after cloning of Bacillus tequilensis xylanase gene into E. coli by using pCR® 2.1-TOPO® TA cloning vector was reported. 17 Figure 1.…”
Saccharification potential of xylanase enzyme cloned from Bacillus licheniformis into E. coli BL21 (DE3) was evaluated against plant biomass for the production of bioethanol. The expression of cloned gene was studied and conditions were optimized for its large scale production. The parameters effecting enzyme production were examined in a fermenter. Recombinant xylanase has the ability to breakdown birchwood xylan to release xylose as well as the potential to treat plant biomass, such as wheat straw, rice straw, and sugarcane bagass. The saccharification ability of this enzyme was optimized by studying various parameters. The maximum saccharification percentage (84%) was achieved when 20 units of recombinant xylanase were used with 8% sugarcane bagass at 50°C and 120 rpm after 6 hours of incubation. The results indicated that the bioconversion of natural biomass by recombinant xylanase into simple sugars can be used for biofuel (bioethanol) production. This process can replace the use of fossil fuels, and the use of bioethanol can significantly reduce the emission of toxic gases. Future directions regarding pre-treatment of cellulosic and hemicellulosic biomass and other processes that can reduce the cost and enhance the yield of biofuels are briefly discussed.
“…On the other hand, the inhibition of xylanases by calcuim and magnesium ions have also been reported (Hmida-Sayari et al 2012; Chang et al 2017). Xylanase was strongly inhibited in the presence of Hg 2+ .…”
The present study investigates the production and partial biochemical characterization of an extracellular thermostable xylanase from the Bacillus oceanisediminis strain SJ3 newly recovered from Algerian soil using three phase partitioning (TPP). The maximum xylanase activity recorded after 2 days of incubation at 37 °C was 20.24 U/ml in the presence of oat spelt xylan. The results indicated that the enzyme recovered in the middle phase of TPP system using the optimum parameters were determined as 50% ammonium sulfate saturation with 1.0:1.5 ratio of crude extract: t-butanol at pH and temperature of 8.0 and 10 °C, respectively. The xylanase was recovered with 3.48 purification fold and 107% activity recovery. The enzyme was optimally active at pH 7.0 and was stable over a broad pH range of 5.0–10. The optimum temperature for xylanase activity was 55 °C and the half-life time at this temperature was of 6 h. At this time point the enzyme retained 50% of its activity after incubation for 2 h at 95 °C. The crude enzyme resist to sodium dodecyl sulfate and β-mercaptoethanol, while all the tested ions do not affect the activity of the enzyme. The recovered enzyme is, at least, stable in tested organic solvents except in propanol where a reduction of 46.5% was observed. Further, the stability of the xylanase was higher in hydrophobic solvents where a maximum stability was observed with cyclohexane. These properties make this enzyme to be highly thermostable and may be suggested as a potential candidate for application in some industrial processes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of xylanase activity and recoverey using three phase partitioning from B. oceanisediminis.
