Abstract
The biotechnological application of bacterial xylanases requires a high thermostability, a catalytically active state for a broad pH range. The Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (MTCC 1270) xynA gene was amplified and cloned into the pCold vector and was expressed in Escherichia coli to evaluate the expressed proteins' thermostability. The pCold, compared to other similar vectors, has unique properties-including pH and temperature tolerance due to the presence of the cspA promoter. The recombinant xynA-pCold (rxynApC) showed the expression of xynA gene with a molecular weight of ~ 27 kDa, confirmed on SDS-PAGE. The rxynApC exhibits optimal activity at 70 °C and pH 8.0. The residual activity of the recombinant enzyme was 90% at pH 8.0. The thermal decomposition temperature (T d) value for the rxynApC enzyme was 93.33 °C obtained from the thermogravimetric analysis, indicating the potent stability of the cloned enzyme. The specific activity of native xylanase and rxynApC under optimal conditions was 32.35 and 105.5 U/mg, respectively. The structural model of the xynA gene was predicted using the in silico tool along with the active site (containing four important Tyr-166, Gly-7, Try-69 and Arg-112 amino acids). The predicted biophysical parameters of the in silico model were similar to the experimental results. The unique feature of the cspA promoter is that it gave a high expression of rxynApC enzyme having alkali and thermostable properties with high yield in surrogate host E. coli. Thus, the recombinant xynA gene can potentially be applied to different industrial needs by looking at its thermostability and enhanced enzyme activity.

Microbial engineering for the production and application of phytases to the treatment of the toxic pollutants: A review. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 308:119703.

Abstract
Phytases are a group of digestive enzymes which are commonly used as feed enzymes. These enzymes are used exogenously in the feeds of monogastric animals thereby it improves the digestibility of phosphorous and thus reduces the negative impact of inorganic P excretion on the environment. Even though these enzymes are widely distributed in many life forms, microorganisms are the most preferred and potential source of phytase. Despite the extensive availability of the phytase-producing microbial consortia, only a few microorganisms have been known to be exploited at industrial level. The high costs of the enzyme along with the incapability to survive high temperatures followed by the poor storage stability are noted to be the bottleneck in the commercialization of enzymes. For this reason, besides the conventional fermentation approaches, the applicability of cloning, expression studies and genetic engineering has been implemented for the past few years to accomplish the abovesaid benefits. The site-directed mutagenesis as well as knocking out have also validated their prominent role in microbe-based phytase production with enhanced levels. The present review provides detailed information on recent insights on the modification of phytases through heterologous expression and protein engineering to make thermostable and protease-resistant phytases.

Abstract
Plant polysaccharides include pectins, which are responsible for an important role in plant physiology and are part of the plant cell wall. These compounds are known as gelling and stabilizing agents, which are widely used in the food industry. The scientific literature lacks precise information on the spectroscopy of apple pectin and citrus pectin. Therefore, the aim of this work was to test and compare the physicochemical properties of these compounds. The curves of FT-IR, NMR, ESI-MS, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of pectin samples were measured and discussed. The analysis of the spectroscopic results confirms that the isolated pectins using various enzymes (xylanase and cellulase) have a structure similar to the commercially available pectin (PectaSol-C), with a noticeable change in morphology. These characteristics are helpful for further basic research and application.
