Abstract
Seaweed biomass is as an abundant and renewable source of complex polysaccharides, including alginate which has a variety of applications. A sustainable method for exploiting alginate towards the production of valuable oligosaccharides is through enzymatic processing, using alginate lyases. Industrial refinement methods demand robust enzymes. Metagenomic libraries from extreme environments are a new source of unique enzymes with great industrial potential. Herein we report the identification of a new thermostable alginate lyase with only 58 % identity to known sequences, identified by mining a metagenomic library obtained from the hydrothermal vents of the volcano Kolumbo in the Aegean Sea (Kolumbo Alginate Lyase, KAlLy). Sequence analysis and biochemical characterization of KAlLy showed that this new alginate lyase is a Polysaccharide Lyase of family 7 (PL7) enzyme with endo- and exo-action on alginate and poly-mannuronic acid, with high activity at 60°C (56 ± 8 U/mg) and high thermostability (half-life time of 30 h at 50°C). The response surface methodology analysis revealed that the reaction optimum conditions with poly-mannuronic acid as substrate are 44°C, pH of 5.5 with 440 mM NaCl. This novel alginate lyase is a valuable addition to the toolbox of alginate modifying enzymes, due to its diverse sequence and its good thermal stability.
期刊介绍:
Enzyme and Microbial Technology is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research and reviews, of biotechnological significance and novelty, on basic and applied aspects of the science and technology of processes involving the use of enzymes, micro-organisms, animal cells and plant cells.
We especially encourage submissions on:
Biocatalysis and the use of Directed Evolution in Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology
Biotechnological Production of New Bioactive Molecules, Biomaterials, Biopharmaceuticals, and Biofuels
New Imaging Techniques and Biosensors, especially as applicable to Healthcare and Systems Biology
New Biotechnological Approaches in Genomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics
Metabolic Engineering, Biomolecular Engineering and Nanobiotechnology
Manuscripts which report isolation, purification, immobilization or utilization of organisms or enzymes which are already well-described in the literature are not suitable for publication in EMT, unless their primary purpose is to report significant new findings or approaches which are of broad biotechnological importance. Similarly, manuscripts which report optimization studies on well-established processes are inappropriate. EMT does not accept papers dealing with mathematical modeling unless they report significant, new experimental data.
