Protein engineering and screening of processive fungal cellobiohydrolases (CBHs) remain challenging due to limited expression hosts, synergy-dependency, recalcitrant substrates. In particular, glycoside hydrolase family 7 (GH7) CBHs are critically important for the bioeconomy typically difficult engineer. Here, we target discovery highly active natural GH7 variants with improved activity. Using experimentally assayed activities genome mined CBHs, applied sequence structural alignments top...
Abstract One of the main distinguishing features bacteria belonging to Cellulomonas genus is their ability secrete multiple polysaccharide degrading enzymes. However, application in biomass deconstruction still constitutes a challenge. We addressed optimisation xylanolytic activities extracellular enzymatic extracts sp. B6 and fimi B-402 for subsequent lignocellulosic hydrolysis by culture several substrates. As demonstrated secretomic profiling, wheat bran waste paper resulted be suitable...
In the efficient bioconversion of polysaccharides from lignocellulosic biomass, endoglucanases and β-glucosidases are key enzymes for deconstruction β-glucans. this work, we focused on a GH8 endoglucanase (Cel8Pa) GH1 β-glucosidase (Bg1Pa) Paenibacillus xylanivorans A59. Cel8Pa was active broad range substrates, such as β-glucan barley (24.5 IU/mg), lichenan (17.9 phosphoric acid swollen cellulose (PASC) (9.7 carboxi-methylcellulose (CMC) (7.3 chitosan (1.4 IU/mg) xylan (0.4 IU/mg). Bg1Pa...
