Escherichia coli expression and characterization of α-amylase from Geobacillus thermodenitrificans DSM-465

Braz. j. biol; 82 (), 2022
Alpha amylase, catalyzing the hydrolysis of starch is a ubiquitous enzyme with tremendous industrial applications. A 1698 bp gene coding for 565 amino acid amylase was PCR amplified from Geobacillus thermodenitrificans DSM465, cloned in pET21a (+) plasmid, expressed in BL21 (DE3) strain of E. coli and ch...

Studies on the recombinant production and anticancer activity of thermostable L- asparaginase I from Pyrococcus abyssi

Braz. j. biol; 82 (), 2022
L-Asparaginase catalysing the breakdown of L-Asparagine to L-Aspartate and ammonia is an enzyme of therapeutic importance in the treatment of cancer, especially the lymphomas and leukaemia. The present study describes the recombinant production, properties and anticancer potential of enzyme from a hypert...

Enzymatic preparation of manno-oligosaccharides from locust bean gum and palm kernel cake, and investigations into its prebiotic activity

Electron J Biotechnol; 49 (), 2021
BACKGROUND: Manno-oligosaccharides (MOS) is known as a kind of prebiotics. Mannanase plays a key role for the degradation of mannan to produce MOS. In this study, the mannanases of glycoside hydrolase (GH) families 5 Man5HJ14 and GH26 ManAJB13 were employed to prepare MOS from locust bean gum (LBG) and p...

Obtención de hidrolizados proteicos de leguminosas usando una proteasa recombinante de Pseudomonas aeruginosa M211

Rev. chil. nutr; 47 (3), 2020
El género Pseudomonas es una fuente importante de proteasas; sin embargo, su uso está restringido en la industria alimentaria. El clonaje permite aprovechar la capacidad catalítica de estas enzimas mediante su producción en microorganismos inocuos. Por otro lado, las leguminosas son fuentes ricas en ...

Structural-functional analyses of textile dye degrading azoreductase, laccase and peroxidase: a comparative in silico study

Background: Textile industry not only plays a vital role in our daily life but also a prominent factor in improving global economy. One of the environmental concern is it releases huge quantities of toxic dyes in the water leading to severe environmental pollution. Bacterial laccase and azoreductase succ...

Purification and biochemical characterization of a novel thermophilic exo-β-1, 3-glucanase from the thermophile biomass-degrading fungus Thielavia terrestris Co3Bag1

Background: The aim of this work was to purify and characterize exo-β-1,3-glucanase, namely, TtBgnA, from the thermophilic fungus Thielavia terrestris Co3Bag1 and to identify the purified enzyme. Results: The thermophilic biomass-degrading fungus T. terrestris Co3Bag1 displayed β-1,3-glucanase activity...

Improvement of the alkali stability of Penicillium cyclopium lipase by error-prone PCR

BACKGROUND: Lipases are extensively exploited in lots of industrial fields; cold-adapted lipases with alkali-resistance are especially desired in detergent industry. Penicillium cyclopium lipase I (PCL) might be suitable for applications of detergent industry due to its high catalytic efficiency at low t...

Recombinant production and biochemical and in silico characterization of lactate dehydrogenase from Geobacillus thermodenitrificans DSM-465

Background: Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme of glycolytic pathway, ubiquitously found in living organisms. Increased glycolysis and LDH activity are associated with many pathologic conditions including inflammation and cancer, thereby making the enzyme a suitable drug target. Studies on conserve...
