The production and location of xylanolytic enzymes in alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. K-1, isolated from the wastewater treatment plant of the pulp and paper industry, was studied. When grown in alkaline xylan medium, the bacteria produced xylanolytic enzymes such as xylanase, $\beta$-xylosidase, arabinofuranosidase, and acetyl esterase. Two types of xylanases (23 and 45 kDa) were found to be extracellular, but another type of xylanase (35 and/or 40 kDa) was detected as pellet-bound that was eluted with 2% triethylamine from the residual xylan of the culture. The xylanases were different in their molecular weight and xylan-binding ability. Arabinofuranosidase and $\beta$-xylosidase were found to be intracellular and extracellular, respectively, and acetyl esterase was found to be extracellular. The extracellular xylanolytic enzymes effectively hydrolyzed insoluble xylan, lignocellulosic materials, and xylans in kraft pulps.

내알카리성 및 내열성 xylanase를 생산하는 토양분리균인 Bacillus stearothermophilus의 chromosomal DNA와 pBR322 plasmid DNA의 HindIII 절단 DNA 단편을 ligation 시켜 E.coli HB101들 형질전환, 약 5천개의 형질전환체를 얻었으며 이들 중에서 세개의 xylanase 양성 형질전환체를 분리하였다. 상기 세 xylanase 양성 형질전환체들로부터 분리한 제조합 plasmid(pMG11, pMG12 및 pMG13)는 다 같이 xylanase 활성과 관계되는 B.stearothermophilus 유래의 동일 4kb 외래 DNA를 가지고 있었으나, pMG13은 외래 DNA의 삽입 방향만이 다름을 확인하였다.

Xylan의 효소적 가수분해는 고부가가치 기능성 물질 또는 바이오에너지 생산을 위한 발효성 당을 얻는 가장 유용한 방법 중 하나이다. endo-${\beta}$-Xylanase는 xylan 주사슬 내부의 ${\beta}$-1,4-결합을 가수분해하여 xylobiose, xylotriose를 포함한 다양한 XOS를 생산하는 핵심 효소이다. 이들 효소 중에서 glucuronoxylanase GH30은 methylglucuronic acid가 측쇄에 수식된 xylan에 특이적으로 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 Paenibacillus amylolyticus KCTC 3005에서 유래한 2종의 xylan 가수분해효소(PaXN_10과 PaGuXN_30) 유전자를 클로닝하고, Escherichia coli에서 각각 발현시켰다. PaXN_10 (38.7 kDa)은 ${\beta}$-xylanase GH10 계열, PaGuXN_30 (58.5 kDa)은 glucuronoxylanase GH30에 해당하는 효소이며, $50^{\circ}C$와 pH 7.0에서 최대 활성을 나타내었다. 가수분해 특성 연구를 통해 P. amylolyticus가 목질계 glucuronoxylan을 분해하는 효소 시스템을 제안하였다. 세포 외로 분비되는 PaGuXN_30은 glucuroxylan을 가수분해하여 methylglucuronic acid 측쇄를 가지는 다양한 aldouronic acid mixtures를 생성하며, 이러한 분해산물은 세포 내로 이동하여 PaXN_GH10에 의해 xylose, xylobiose와 같은 저분자 XOS로 분해되어 세포 내 대사경로에 이용될 수 있다. 또한 이들 효소의 가수분해특성을 이용하여 다양한 탄수화물 소재 생산이 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

Pre-pulping extracts were found to contain a dilute amount of xylo-oligosaccharides and acetic acid as the major components, and many minor components including other organic acids, lignin-derived phenolics, and sugar degradation products. Once separated from the pulp, a secondary hydrolysis step was required to hydrolyze oligomeric hemicellulose sugars into monomeric sugars before fermentation. The following study detailed the extent of hemicellulose recovery by pre-pulping using hot water extraction and characterized the hydrolysis of the extract with respect to comparing acid and enzymatic hydrolysis. The secondaryhydrolysis of hot water extracts made at an H-Factor of 800 was tested for a variety of acid and enzyme loading levels using the sulfuric acid and xylanases. The maximum fermentable sugar yield from acid and enzyme hydrolysis of the extract was 18.7 g/${\ell}$ and 17.7 g/${\ell}$ representing 84.6% and 80.1% of the maximum possible yield, respectively.

Extremophilic microorganisms have established a diversity of molecular strategies in order to survive in extreme conditions. Biocatalysts isolated by these organisms are termed extremozymes, and possess extraordinary properties of salt allowance, thermostability, and cold adaptivity. Extremozymes are very resistant to extreme conditions owing to their great solidity, and they pose new opportunities for biocatalysis and biotransformations, as well as for the development of the economy and new line of research, through their application. Thermophilic proteins, piezophilic proteins, acidophilic proteins, and halophilic proteins have been studied during the last few years. Amylases, proteases, lipases, pullulanases, cellulases, chitinases, xylanases, pectinases, isomerases, esterases, and dehydrogenases have great potential application for biotechnology, such as in agricultural, chemical, biomedical, and biotechnological processes. The study of extremozymes and their main applications have emerged during recent years.

Three kinds of xylanases, X-C, X-I, and X-II, were separated from culture filtrate of an alkalophilic bacteria, Bocillus licheniformis OR-1. Their molecular weights were estimated to be 29, 000, 50, 000, and 34, 000, respectively. They were most active at pH 6.0-6.5, and at temperature of 5$0^{\circ}C$. Mercurc ion and p-chloromercurybenzoate inhibited the xylanase activity of X-C and X-II remarkably, whereas X-I was not affected. Xylanase X-I hydrolyzed barley straw xylan liberating xylose, xylobiose, and arabinose, while X-C and X-II produced only xylobiose and xylotriose.

Xylanases sourced from different bacteria have significantly different enzymatic properties. Therefore, studying xylanases from different bacteria is important to their applications in different fields. A potential xylanase degradation gene in Massilia was recently discovered through genomic sequencing. However, its xylanase activity remains unexplored. This paper is the first to report a xylanase (XynRBM26) belonging to the glycosyl hydrolase family (GH10) from the genus Massilia. The gene encodes a 383-residue polypeptide (XynRBM26) with the highest identity of 62% with the endoxylanase from uncultured bacterium BLR13. The XynRBM26 expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 is a monomer with a molecular mass of 45.0 kDa. According to enzymatic characteristic analysis, pH 5.5 is the most appropriate for XynRBM26, which could maintain more than 90% activity between pH 5.0 and 8.0. Moreover, XynRBM26 is stable at 37℃ and could maintain at least 96% activity after being placed at 37℃ for 1 h. This paper is the first to report that GH10 xylanase in an animal gastrointestinal tract (GIT) has salt tolerance, which could maintain 86% activity in 5 M NaCl. Under the optimum conditions, K_m, V_max, and k_cat of XynRBM26 to beechwood xylan are 9.49 mg/ml, 65.79 μmol/min/mg, and 47.34 /sec, respectively. Considering that XynRBM26 comes from an animal GIT, this xylanase has potential application in feedstuff. Moreover, XynRBM26 is applicable to high-salt food and seafood processing, as well as other high-salt environmental biotechnological fields, because of its high catalytic activity in high-concentration NaCl.

Xylanase를 생산하는 내열성 Bacillus pumilus TX703의 chromosomal DNA로부터 xylanase 유전자를 cloning하여 그 염기배열 순서를 결정한 다음 이로부터 유전자 발현에 관련된 구조를 분석하였다. Xylanase 유전자의 cloning을 위해 제한효소 HindIII로 절단한 B. pumilus TX703의 chromosomal DNA와 pUC19을 ligation시켜 E. coli DH5 $\alpha$에 형질전환시킨 후 형질전환체 중에서 xylanase 활성을 나타내는 재조합 plasmid pXES106을 분리하였다. 재조합 plasmid pXES106은 pUC19의 HindIII 부위 내에 2.24 kb의 외래 DNA가 삽입되었고, 이 plasmid DNA를 분리하여 E. coli DH5 $\alpha$에 재형질전환시킨 결과 vector 내에 xylanase 유전자가 cloning되었음을 확인하였다. Cloning된 유전자의 염기배열을 분석한 결과 이 유전자의 총 크기는 2,187 bp였고 이는 409개기 아미노산을 coding 하는 open reading frame 1,227 bp를 포함하고 있었다. 이 염기배열은 ATG개시 codon으로부터 각각 193과 216 base 상류에 TTTAAT의 -10 box와 TCGAAA인 -35 box로 추정되는 염기배열이 존재하였고 -10 box로부터 7 bp하류에 전사개시점인 A가 위치하고 있었다. 또한, 개시 codon으로부터 432 bp 상류에 공통염기배열과 14개의 염기 중 11개의 염기가 일치하는 TGATGGCGTCGGCA의 catabolite responsive element (CRE)가 존재하였다. B. pumilus TX703의 xylanase와 아미노산배열의 유사성이 가장 높은 xylanase는 Hordeum vulgare의 isozyme X-I이었고 본 xylanase는 208번째와 322번째에 glutamic acid 잔기를 가지고 있어 Clostridium thermocellum, Dictyoglomus thermophilum, Thermotoga neapolitana 등에서 밝혀진 바와 같이 glutamic acid 부위가 xylanase의 활성부위라 여겨진다.

We have cloned a xylanase gene (xynA) from Streptomyces thermocyaneoviolaceus. The deduced amino acid sequences of the XynA, including the active site sequences of glycosyl hydrolase family 10, showed high sequence homology with several xylanases assigned in this category. The XynA was overexpressed under an IPTG inducible T7 promoter control in E. coli BLR(DE3). The overproduced enzymes were excreted into culture supernatants and periplasmic space. The purified XynA had an apparent molecular mass of near 54 kDa, which corresponds to the molecular mass calculated from its gene. The optimum pH and temperature of the purified XynA were determined to be 5.0 and $65^{\circ}C$, respectively. The XynA retained over $90\%$ its activity after the heat treatment at $65^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The XynA was highly efficient in producing xylose (X1), xylobiose (X2), xylotriose (X3), and xylotetraose (X4) from xylan.
