Abstract
A novel acidophilic GH5 β-1,4-endoglucanase (TaCel12) from Trichoderma asperellum ND-1 was efficiently expressed in Pichia pastoris (a 1.5-fold increase). Deglycosylated TaCel12 migrated as a single band (26.5 kDa) in SDS-PAGE. TaCel12 was acidophilic with a pH optimum of 4.0 and displayed great pH stability (>80 % activity over pH 3.0-5.0). TaCel12 exhibited considerable activity towards sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium alginate with Vmax values of 197.97 μmol/min/mg and 119.06 μmol/min/mg, respectively. Moreover, TaCel12 maintained >80 % activity in the presence of 20 % ethanol and 4.28 M NaCl. Additionally, Mn2+, Pb2+ and Cu2+ negatively affected TaCel12 activity, while the presence of 5 mM Co2+ significantly increased the enzyme activity. Analysis of action mode revealed that TaCel12 required at least four glucose (cellotetraose) residues for hydrolysis to yield cellobiose and cellotriose. Site-directed mutagenesis results suggested that Glu133 and Glu217 of TaCel12 are crucial catalytic residues, with Asp116 displaying an auxiliary function. Production of soluble sugars from lignocellulose is a crucial step in bioethanol development, and it is noteworthy that TaCel12 could synergistically yield fermentable sugars from corn stover and bagasse, respectively. Thus TaCel12 with excellent properties will be considered a potential biocatalyst for applications in various industries, especially for lignocellulosic biomass conversion.

Appl Biochem Biotechnol 2020; 193:405-416. [PMID: 33015742 DOI: 10.1007/s12010-020-03430-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
An integrated process to increase the yield of incomplete degradation products of galactomannan (GalM) especially for galactomanno-oligosaccharides (GalMOS) was suggested. Trichoderma reesei employed Avicel or GalMOS as a carbon source to produce β-mannanase or α-galactosidase independently, with a result of 3.78 ± 0.12 U/mL of β-mannanase activity and 2.45 ± 0.06 U/mL of α-galactosidase activity which were obtained, respectively. GalM in Sesbania seed was hydrolyzed simultaneously by a mixture of crude enzyme with β-mannanase and α-galactosidase at a dosage of 20 U/g GalM and 15 U/g GalM, respectively; the yields of incomplete degradation products of GalM (IDP-GalM) and GalMOS were 78.84% ± 3.14% and 30.94% ± 0.38%, respectively, which was beneficial to improve the biological activity of the incomplete degradation products. The role of α-galactosidase addition in mixture enzymes is to remove the galactose substituents from mannan backbone of GalM and alleviate the steric hindrance of β-mannanase hydrolysis.

Abstract
α-Galactosidases are important industrial enzymes for hemicellulosic biomass degradation or modification. In this study, six novel extracellular α-galactosidases from Penicillium subrubescens were produced in Pichia pastoris and characterized. All α-galactosidases exhibited high affinity to pNPαGal, and only AglE was not active towards galacto-oligomers. Especially AglB and AglD released high amounts of galactose from guar gum, carob galactomannan and locust bean, but combining α-galactosidases with an endomannanase dramatically improved galactose release. Structural comparisons to other α-galactosidases and homology modelling showed high sequence similarities, albeit significant differences in mechanisms of productive binding, including discrimination between various galactosides. To our knowledge, this is the first study of such an extensive repertoire of extracellular fungal α-galactosidases, to demonstrate their potential for degradation of galactomannan-rich biomass. These findings contribute to understanding the differences within glycoside hydrolase families, to facilitate the development of new strategies to generate tailor-made enzymes for new industrial bioprocesses.

Abstract
α-Galactosidase, (E.C. 3.2.1.22) is an exoglycosidase that target galactooligosaccharides such as raffinose, melibiose, stachyose and branched polysaccharides like galactomannans and galacto-glucomannans by catalysing the hydrolysis of α-1,6 linked terminal galactose residues. The enzyme has been isolated and characterized from microbial, plant and animal sources. This ubiquitous enzyme possesses physiological significance and immense industrial potential. Optimization of the growth conditions and efficient purification strategies can lead to a significant increase in the enzyme production. To boost commercial productivity, cloning of novel α-galactosidase genes and their heterologous expression in suitable host has gained popularity. Enzyme immobilization leads to its greater reutilization, superior thermostability, pH tolerance and increased activity. The enzyme is well explored in food industry in the removal of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) in soymilk and sugar crystallization process. It also improves animal feed quality and biomass processing. Applications of the enzyme is in the area of biomedicine includes therapeutic advances in treatment of Fabry disease, blood group conversion and removal of α-gal type immunogenic epitopes in xenotransplantation. With considerable biotechnological applications, this enzyme has been vastly commercialized and holds greater future prospects.

Abstract
α-Galactosidases are assigned to the class of hydrolases and the subclass of glycoside hydrolases (GHs). They belong to six GH families and include the only characterized α-galactosidases from yeasts (GH 27, Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The present study focuses on an investigation of the lactose-inducible α-galactosidase produced by Papiliotrema flavescens. The enzyme was present on the surface of cells and in the cytosol. Its temperature optimum was about 60 °C and the pH optimum was 4.8; the pH stability ranged from 3.2 to 6.6. This α-galactosidase also exhibited transglycosylation activity. The cytosol α-galactosidase with a molecular weight about 110 kDa, was purified using a combination of liquid chromatography techniques. Three intramolecular peptides were determined by the partial structural analysis of the sequences of the protein isolated, using MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. The data obtained recognized the first yeast α-galactosidase, which belongs to the GH 36 family. The bioinformatics analysis and homology modeling of a 210 amino acids long C-terminal sequence (derived from cDNA) confirmed the correctness of these findings. The study was also supplemented by the screening of capsular cryptococcal yeasts, which produce the surface lactose-inducible α- and β-galactosidases. The production of the lactose-inducible α-galactosidases was not found to be a general feature within the yeast strains examined and, therefore, the existing hypothesis on the general function of this enzyme in cryptococcal capsule rearrangement cannot be confirmed.

Abstract
Biocompost is not only a good biofertilizer but also a good biocontrol agent against pant pathogenic fungi. Best solution for acidic soils. Balance the biological flora in soil. High C:N value.
Oil palm fibres are easy to degrade, eco-friendly in nature and once composted, they can be categorized under nutrient-enriched biocompost. Biocompost is not only a good biofertilizer but also a good biocontrol agent against soil-borne pathogens. In this research, experimental works on the composting of empty fruit bunches (EFB) from the oil palm industry were conducted using two potential Trichoderma strains. Analysis of pH initially found the soils to be slightly acidic. However, after composting, the soils were found to be alkaline. Trichoderma propagules increased by 72% in the soils compared to other fungi. Soil electrical conductivity was found to be 50.40 μS/cm for compost A, 42.10 μS/cm for compost B and 40.11 μS/cm for the control. The highest C:N ratio was obtained for compost A at 3.33, followed by compost B at 2.79, and then the control at 1.55. The highest percentages of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) were found in compost A (0.91:2.13:6.68), which was followed by compost B (0.46:0.83:5.85) and then the control (0.32:0.26:5.76). Thus, the biocomposting of oil palm fibres shows great potential for enhancing soil micronutrient, plant growth performance, and crop yield production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The microbial β-mannanases have been increasingly exploited for bioconversion of biomass materials and various potential industrial applications, such as bleaching of softwood pulps, scouring and desizing, food and feed additive, and oil and textile industries. In this paper, a β-mannanase was characterization from the bacteria, Bacillus licheniformis HDYM-04, which was a high β-mannanase-producing strain (576.16 ± 2.12 U/mL at 48 h during fermentation). METHODS The michaelis constant (Km ) and maximum velocity (Vmax ) of β-mannanase were determined. The effect of organic solvents, inhibitors, detergents, chelating agents, oxidizing agents and reducing agents on the stability of enzyme were determined. The degradation of twenty-two structurally different dyes by the purified β-mannanase produced by HDYM-04 was determined by full spectrum scan among 200-1000 nm at 0 min and 10 min, respectively. RESULTS β-Mannanase produced by HDYM-04 was highly specific towards glucomannan, where as exhibited low activity towards guar gum. Michaelis constant (Km ) and maximum velocity (Vmax ) of glucomannan substrate were 2.69 mg/ml and 251.41 U/mg, respectively. The activity of different organic solvents showed significantly difference (p < 0.05). It retained > 80 % activity in dimethyl sulfoxide, acetone, chloroform, benzene, hexane. In the presence of solvents, citric acid, ethylene diamine teraacetic acid and potassium iodide, it retained > 80 % residual activity. Twenty-two structurally different dyes could be effectively decolourised by β-mannanase within 12 h, in which methyl orange (99.89 ± 2.87 %), aniline blue (90.23 ± 2.87 %) and alizalin (83.63 ± 2.89 %) had high decolorization rate. CONLUSION The obtained results displayed that the β-mannanase produced by HDYM-04 showed high stability under different chemical reagents and was found to be capable of decolorizing synthetic dyes with different structures. So, the reported biochemical properties of the purified β-mannanase and its rapid decolorizations of dyes suggested that it might be suitable for industrial wastewater bioremediation.

Abstract
A potential fungal strain of Trichoderma sp. (WF-3) was isolated and selected for the production of α-galactosidase. Optimum conditions for mycelial growth and enzyme induction were determined. Basal media selected for the growth of fungal isolate containing different carbon sources like guar gum (GG), soya bean meal (SM), and wheat straw (WS) and combinations of these carbon substrates with basic sugars like galactose and sucrose were used to monitor their effects on α-galactosidase production. The results of this study indicated that galactose and sucrose enhanced the enzyme activity in guar gum (GG) and wheat straw (WS). Maximum α-galactosidase production (213.63 UmL−1) was obtained when the basic medium containing GG is supplemented with galactose (5 mg/mL). However, the presence of galactose and sucrose alone in the growth media shows no effect. Soya meal alone was able to support T. evansii to produce maximum enzyme activity (170.36 UmL−1). The incubation time, temperature, and pH for the maximum enzyme synthesis were found to be 120 h (5 days), 28°C, and 4.5–5.5, respectively. All the carbon sources tested exhibited maximum enzyme production at 10 mg/mL concentration. Among the metal ions tested, Hg was found to be the strongest inhibitor of the enzyme.

Abstract
Microbial α-galactosidase preparations have implications in medicine and in the modification of various agricultural products as well. In this paper, four isolated fungal strains such as AL-3, WF-3, WP-4 and CL-4 from rhizospheric soil identified as Penicillium glabrum (AL-3), Trichoderma evansii (WF-3), Lasiodiplodia theobromae (WP-4) and Penicillium flavus (CL-4) based on their morphology and microscopic examinations, are screened for their potential towards α-galactosidases production. The culture conditions have been optimized and supplemented with specific carbon substrates (1%, w/v) by using galactose-containing polysaccharides like guar gum (GG), soya casein (SC) and wheat straw (WS). All strains significantly released galactose from GG, showing maximum production of enzyme at 7th day of incubation in rotary shaker (120 rpm) that is 190.3, 174.5, 93.9 and 28.8 U/mL, respectively, followed by SC and WS. The enzyme activity was stable up to 7days at −20°C, then after it declines. This investigation reveals that AL-3 show optimum enzyme activity in guar gum media, whereas WF-3 exhibited greater enzyme stability. Results indicated that the secretion of proteins, enzyme and the stability of enzyme activity varied not only from one strain to another but also differed in their preferences of utilization of different substrates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trichoderma reesei is a soft rot Ascomycota fungus utilised for industrial production of secreted enzymes, especially lignocellulose degrading enzymes. About 30 carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) of T. reesei have been biochemically characterised. Genome sequencing has revealed a large number of novel candidates for CAZymes, thus increasing the potential for identification of enzymes with novel activities and properties. Plenty of data exists on the carbon source dependent regulation of the characterised hydrolytic genes. However, information on the expression of the novel CAZyme genes, especially on complex biomass material, is very limited. RESULTS In this study, the CAZyme gene content of the T. reesei genome was updated and the annotations of the genes refined using both computational and manual approaches. Phylogenetic analysis was done to assist the annotation and to identify functionally diversified CAZymes. The analyses identified 201 glycoside hydrolase genes, 22 carbohydrate esterase genes and five polysaccharide lyase genes. Updated or novel functional predictions were assigned to 44 genes, and the phylogenetic analysis indicated further functional diversification within enzyme families or groups of enzymes. GH3 β-glucosidases, GH27 α-galactosidases and GH18 chitinases were especially functionally diverse. The expression of the lignocellulose degrading enzyme system of T. reesei was studied by cultivating the fungus in the presence of different inducing substrates and by subjecting the cultures to transcriptional profiling. The substrates included both defined and complex lignocellulose related materials, such as pretreated bagasse, wheat straw, spruce, xylan, Avicel cellulose and sophorose. The analysis revealed co-regulated groups of CAZyme genes, such as genes induced in all the conditions studied and also genes induced preferentially by a certain set of substrates. CONCLUSIONS In this study, the CAZyme content of the T. reesei genome was updated, the discrepancies between the different genome versions and published literature were removed and the annotation of many of the genes was refined. Expression analysis of the genes gave information on the enzyme activities potentially induced by the presence of the different substrates. Comparison of the expression profiles of the CAZyme genes under the different conditions identified co-regulated groups of genes, suggesting common regulatory mechanisms for the gene groups.

Abstract
Several seeds and husks of some plants belonging to leguminosae, Graminae, Compositae and Palmae were evaluated as carbon substrates to produce α-galactosidase (α-Gal) by the thermophilic fungus, Thielavia terrestris NRRL 8126 in solid substrate fermentation. The results showed that Cicer arietinum (chick pea seed) was the best substrate for α-Gal production. The crude enzyme was precipitated by ammonium sulphate (60%) and purified by gel filtration on sephadex G-100 followed by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Cellulose. The final purification fold of the enzyme was 30.42. The temperature and pH optima of purified α-Gal from Thielavia terrestris were 70 °C and 6.5, respectively. The enzyme showed high thermal stability at 70 °C and 75 °C and the half-life of the α-Gal at 90 °C was 45 min. Km of the purified enzyme was 1.31 mM. The purified enzyme was inhibited by Ag2+, Hg2+, Zn2+, Ba2+, Mg2+, Mn2+ and Fe2+ at 5 mM and 10 mM. Also, EDTA, sodium arsenate, L-cysteine and iodoacetate inhibited the enzyme activity. On the other hand, Ca2+, Cu2+, K+ and Na+ slightly enhanced the enzyme activity at 5 mM while at 10 mM they caused inhibition. The molecular weight of the α-Gal was estimated to be 82 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This enzyme displays a number of biochemical properties that make it a potentially strong candidate for biotechnological and medicinal applications.

Abstract
Olive pomace was composted by using a reactor for a period of 50 days in four bioreactors. Urea was added to adjust C/N ration between 25-30. At the end of 50 days of composting using Trichoderma harzianum and Phanerochaete chrysosporium, cellulose and lignin were highly degraded. It was found that after 30 days, P. chrysosporium and T. harzianum degraded approximately 71.9% of the lignin and 59.25% of the cellulose, respectively. The percent of ash content in the raw waste mixture was 13%. This percentage increased from 13% to 18.55% in treatment bioreactors and from 13% to 13.55% in control reactors during 50 days of composting process. The amount of CO(2) produced by the treated sample was 3mg of CO(2)/g organic carbon which is indicated that the treated sample was considered as stable compost. The results proved that the use of accelerating agents was found to be efficient in producing mature stable with nearly non-phytotoxicity compared to control sample in less than 50 days.

Abstract
Two alpha-galactosidases were purified to homogeneity from the enzymatic complex of the mycelial fungus Penicillium canescens using chromatography on different sorbents. Substrate specificity, pH- and temperature optima of activity, stability under different pH and temperature conditions, and the influence of effectors on the catalytic properties of both enzymes were investigated. Genes aglA and aglC encoding alpha-galactosidases from P. canescens were isolated, and amino acid sequences of the proteins were predicted. In vitro feed testing (with soybean meal and soybean byproducts enriched with galactooligosaccharides as substrates) demonstrated that both alpha-galactosidases from P. canescens could be successfully used as feed additives. alpha-Galactosidase A belonging to the 27th glycosyl hydrolase family hydrolyzed galactopolysaccharides (galactomannans) and alpha-galactosidase C belonging to the 36th glycosyl hydrolase family hydrolyzed galactooligosaccharides (stachyose, raffinose, etc.) of soybean with good efficiency, thus improving the digestibility of fodder.

Abstract
The optimization of fermentation medium for alpha-galactosidase production by Aspergillus foetidus ZU-G1 was investigated in shaker flask fermentation. A one-factor-at-a-time experiment was used to screen the preferable nutriment (carbon sources, nitrogen sources, and essential elements) for alpha-galactosidase production. A fractional factorial design was used to screen the main 5 factors, soybean meal, wheat bran, KH2PO4, FeSO4 x 7 H2O, and the medium initial pH, that affected the production of alpha-galactosidase. The central composite experimental design was further adopted to derive a statistical model for optimizing the composition of the fermentation medium. The experimental results showed that the optimum fermentation medium for alpha-galactosidase production by Aspergillus foetidus ZU-G1 was composed of 3.2% soybean meal (w/v), 2% wheat bran (w/v), 0.1% KH2PO4 (w/v), and 0.05% FeSO4 x 7 H2O (w/v); initial medium pH was 6.31. The results further predicted that alpha-galactosidase activity reached 64.75 U/mL after 96-h incubation in this medium, which was approximately 7 times higher than that incubated in the nonoptimized medium. The time course of alpha-galactosidase production in the optimized medium composition was also carried out to validate the model.

Abstract
Trichoderma species are ubiquitous soil and peat-borne saprotrophs that have received enormous scientific interest as biocontrol agents of plant diseases caused by destructive root pathogens. Mechanisms of biocontrol such as antibiosis and hyperparasitism are well documented and the biochemistry and molecular genetics of these processes defined. An aspect of biocontrol that has received little attention is the ability of Trichoderma species to compete for nutrients in their natural environments. Trichoderma species are efficient producers of polysaccharide-degrading enzymes that enable them to colonize organic matter thereby preventing the saprotrophic spread of plant pathogens. This study details the use of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to quantify the production of two enzymes implicated in the saprotrophic growth of Trichoderma species in peat. Using mAbs specific to the hemicellulase enzyme alpha-galactosidase (AGL) and the cellulase enzyme endo-1,4-beta-glucanase (EG), the relationship between the saprotrophic growth dynamics of a biocontrol strain of Trichoderma hamatum and the concomitant production of these enzymes in peat-based microcosms was studied. Enzyme activity assays and enzyme protein concentrations derived by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) established the precision and sensitivity of mAb-based assays in quantifying enzyme production during active growth of the fungus. Trends in enzyme activities and protein concentrations were similar for both enzymes, during a 21-day sampling period in which active growth and sporulation of the fungus in peat was quantified using an independent mAb-based assay. There was a sharp increase in active biomass of T. hamatum 3 days after inoculation of microcosms with phialoconidia. After 3 days there was a rapid decline in active biomass which coincided with sporulation of the fungus. A similar trend was witnessed with EG activities and concentrations. This showed that EG production related directly to active growth of the fungus. The trend was not found, however, with AGL. There was a rapid increase in enzyme activities and protein concentrations on day 3, after which they remained static. The reason for the maintenance of elevated AGL probably resulted from secretion of the enzyme from conidia and chlamydospores. ELISA, immunofluoresence and immunogold electron microscopy studies of these cells showed that the enzyme is localized within the cytoplasm and is secreted extracellularly into the surrounding environment. It is postulated that release of oligosaccharides from polymeric hemicellulose by the constitutive spore-bound enzyme leads to AGL induction and could act as an environmental cue for spore germination.

Abstract
Watermelon alpha-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.22) was immobilized on a natural (chitin) and a synthetic anion-exchange (Amberlite IRA-938) support by covalent coupling methods. The procedure entails the activation of supports with 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), followed by immobilization of the enzyme on to these supports without and with a spacer arm; gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Optimization of activation was performed by changing the CDI concentrations and coupling efficiencies. The comparison of two immobilization techniques for both chitin and Amberlite IRA-938 was made by comparing different enzyme concentrations against enzyme activity yield. Furthermore, the storage stability of the immobilized enzymes was also investigated and chitin immobilized alpha-galactosidase was found to be better. Although the activity yield of immobilized enzymes were the same for both supports, the short storage stability of immobilized enzyme on Amberlite IRA-938 is currently a drawback to its applications.

Abstract
The Clostridium josui aga27A gene encodes the cellulosomal alpha-galactosidase Aga27A, which comprises a catalytic domain of family 27 of glycoside hydrolases and a dockerin domain responsible for cellulosome assembly. The catalytic domain is highly homologous to those of various alpha-galactosidases of family 27 of glycoside hydrolases from eukaryotic organisms, especially plants. The recombinant Aga27A alpha-galactosidase devoid of the dockerin domain preferred highly polymeric galactomannan as a substrate to small saccharides such as melibiose and raffinose.

Abstract
An extracellular alpha-galactosidase was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from a locust bean gum-spent culture fluid of a mannanolytic strain of the thermophilic fungus Thermomyces lanuginosus. Molecular mass of the enzyme is 57 kDa. The pure enzyme which has a glycoprotein nature, afforded several forms on IEF, indicating its microheterogeneity. Isoelectric point of the major form was 5.2. Enzyme is the most active against aryl alpha-D-galactosides but efficiently hydrolyzed alpha-glycosidically linked non-reducing terminal galactopyranosyl residues occurring in natural substrates such as melibiose, raffinose, stachyose, and fragments of galactomannan. In addition, the enzyme is able to catalyze efficient degalactosylation of polymeric galactomannans leading to precipitation of the polymers. Stereochemical course of hydrolysis of two substrates, 4-nitrophenyl alpha-galactopyranoside and galactosyl(1)mannotriose, followed by (1)H NMR spectroscopy, pointed out the alpha-anomer of D-galactose was the primary product of hydrolysis from which the beta-anomer was formed by mutarotation. Hence the enzyme is a retaining glycosyl hydrolase. In accord with its retaining character the enzyme catalyzed transgalactosylation from 4-nitrophenyl alpha-galactopyranoside as a glycosyl donor. Amino acid sequence alignment of N-terminal and two internal sequences suggested that the enzyme is a member of family 27 of glycosyl hydrolases.

Abstract
Raffinose oligosaccharides (RO) are the major factors responsible for flatulence following ingestion of soybean derived products. Removal of RO from seeds or soymilk would then have a positive impact on the acceptance of soy-based foods. Enzymic hydrolysis of the RO is accomplished by alpha-galactosidase. While the content of RO decreases during seed germination, the activity of alpha-galactosidase increases substantially. Two alpha-galactosidases were isolated from germinating seeds by partition in an aqueous two-phase system followed by ion-exchange and affinity chromatography. One of the enzyme preparations (P1) showed a single protein with M(r) of 33 kDa, and the second (P2) had two proteins with M(r) of 31 and 33 kDa. Maximal activities against the synthetic substrate rho-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside (rhoNPGal) were detected at pH 5.0-5.5 and 45-50 degrees C. Both enzymes were fairly stable at 40 degrees C, but lost most of their activities after 30 min at 50 degrees C. The K(m) values for hydrolysis of rhoNPGal by the P1 and P2 enzymes were 1.55 and 0.76 mM, respectively. The K(m) values determined for hydrolysis of raffinose and melibiose by the P2 enzyme were 5.53 and 5.34 mM, respectively and galactose was a competitive inhibitor (K(i)=0.65 mM). To different extents, both enzymes were sensitive to inhibition by galactose, melibiose, CuSO(4), and SDS. Sucrose and beta-mercaptoethanol showed discrete inhibitory effects on both enzymes.

Abstract
A Thermus thermophilus selector strain for production of thermostable and thermoactive alpha-galactosidase was constructed. For this purpose, the native alpha-galactosidase gene (agaT) of T. thermophilus TH125 was inactivated to prevent background activity. In our first attempt, insertional mutagenesis of agaT by using a cassette carrying a kanamycin resistance gene led to bacterial inability to utilize melibiose (alpha-galactoside) and galactose as sole carbohydrate sources due to a polar effect of the insertional inactivation. A Gal(+) phenotype was assumed to be essential for growth on melibiose. In a Gal(-) background, accumulation of galactose or its metabolite derivatives produced from melibiose hydrolysis could interfere with the growth of the host strain harboring recombinant alpha-galactosidase. Moreover, the AgaT(-) strain had to be Km(s) for establishment of the plasmids containing alpha-galactosidase genes and the kanamycin resistance marker. Therefore, a suitable selector strain (AgaT(-) Gal(+) Km(s)) was generated by applying integration mutagenesis in combination with phenotypic selection. To produce heterologous alpha-galactosidase in T. thermophilus, the isogenes agaA and agaB of Bacillus stearothermophilus KVE36 were cloned into an Escherichia coli-Thermus shuttle vector. The region containing the E. coli plasmid sequence (pUC-derived vector) was deleted before transformation of T. thermophilus with the recombinant plasmids. As a result, transformation efficiency and plasmid stability were improved. However, growth on minimal agar medium containing melibiose was achieved only following random selection of the clones carrying a plasmid-based mutation that had promoted a higher copy number and greater stability of the plasmid.

Abstract
Extracellular alpha-galactosidase A was purified from the culture filtrate of an over-producing strain of Aspergillus niger containing multiple copies of the encoding aglA gene under the control of the glucoamylase (glaA) promoter. Endoglycosidase digestion followed by SDS/PAGE, lectin and immunoblotting suggested that glycosylation accounted for approximately 25% of the molecular size of the purified protein. Monosaccharide analysis showed that this was composed of N-acetyl glucosamine, mannose and galactose. Mild acid hydrolysis, mild methanolysis, immunoblotting and exoglycosidase digestion indicated that the majority of the galactosyl component was in the furanoic conformation (beta-D-galactofuranose, Galf). At least 20 different N-linked oligosaccharides were fractionated by high-pH anion-exchange chromatography following release from the polypeptide by peptide-N-glycosidase F. The structures of these were subsequently determined by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry to be a linear series of Hex(7-26)HexHA(c2). Indicating that oligosaccharides from GlcNA(c2)Man(7), increasing in molecular size up to GlcNA(c2)Man(24) were present. Each of these were additionally substituted with up to three beta-Galf residues. Linkage analysis confirmed the presence of mild acid labile terminal hexofuranose residues. These results show that filamentous fungi are capable of producing a heterogeneous mixture of high molecular-size N-linked glycans substituted with galactofuranoic residues, on a secreted glycoprotein.

Abstract
An alpha-galactosidase gene from Thermus brockianus ITI360 was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant protein was purified. The gene, designated agaT, codes for a 476-residue polypeptide with a calculated molecular mass of 53, 810 Da. The native structure of the recombinant enzyme (AgaT) was estimated to be a tetramer. AgaT displays amino acid sequence similarity to the alpha-galactosidases of Thermotoga neapolitana and Thermotoga maritima and a low-level sequence similarity to alpha-galactosidases of family 36 in the classification of glycosyl hydrolases. The enzyme is thermostable, with a temperature optimum of activity at 93 degrees C with para-nitrophenyl-alpha-galactopyranoside as a substrate. Half-lives of inactivation at 92 and 80 degrees C are 100 min and 17 h, respectively. The pH optimum is between 5.5 and 6.5. The enzyme displayed high affinity for oligomeric substrates. The K(m)s for melibiose and raffinose at 80 degrees C were determined as 4.1 and 11.0 mM, respectively. The alpha-galactosidase gene in T. brockianus ITI360 was inactivated by integrational mutagenesis. Consequently, no alpha-galactosidase activity was detectable in crude extracts of the mutant strain, and it was unable to use melibiose or raffinose as a single carbohydrate source.

Abstract
The main alpha-galactosidase was purified to homogeneity, in 30% yield, from a solid culture of Phanerochaete chrysosporium on 1 part wheat bran/2 parts thermomechanical softwood pulp. It is a glycosylated tetramer of 50 kDa peptide chains, which gives the N-terminal sequence ADNGLAITPQMG(?W)NT(?W)NHFG(?W)DIS(?W)DTI. It is remarkably stable, with crude extracts losing no activity over 3 h at 80 degrees C, and the purified enzyme retaining its activity over several months at 4 degrees C. The kinetics of hydrolysis at 25 degrees C of various substrates by this retaining enzyme were measured, absolute parameters being obtained by active-site titration with 2',4',6'-trinitrophenyl 2-deoxy-2, 2-difluoro-alpha-D-galactopyranoside. The variation of kcat/Km for 1-naphthyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside with pH is bell-shaped, with pK1=1.91 and pK2=5.54. The alphaD(V/K) value for p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside is 1.031+/-0.007 at the optimal pH of 3.75 and 1.114+/-0.006 at pH7.00, indicating masking of the intrinsic effect at optimal pH. There is no alpha-2H effect on binding galactose [alphaD(Ki)=0.994+/-0.013]. The enzyme hydrolyses p-nitrophenyl beta-L-arabinopyranoside approximately 510 times slower than the galactoside, but has no detectable activity on the alpha-D-glucopyranoside or alpha-D-mannopyranoside. Hydrolysis of alpha-galactosides with poor leaving groups is Michaelian, but that of substrates with good leaving groups exhibits pronounced apparent substrate inhibition, with Kis values similar to Km values. We attribute this to the binding of the second substrate molecule to a beta-galactopyranosyl-enzyme intermediate, forming an E.betaGal. alphaGalX complex which turns over slowly, if at all. 1-Fluoro-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl fluoride, unlike alpha-D-galactopyranosyl fluoride, is a Michaelian substrate, indicating that the effect of 1-fluorine substitution is greater on the first than on the second step of the enzyme reaction.

Abstract
The cDNA coding for Penicillium purpurogenum alpha-galactosidase (alphaGal) was cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence of the alpha-Gal cDNA showed that the mature enzyme consisted of 419 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 46,334 Da. The derived amino acid sequence of the enzyme showed similarity to eukaryotic alphaGals from plants, animals, yeasts, and filamentous fungi. The highest similarity observed (57% identity) was to Trichoderma reesei AGLI. The cDNA was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae under the control of the yeast GAL10 promoter. Almost all of the enzyme produced was secreted into the culture medium, and the expression level reached was approximately 0.2 g/liter. The recombinant enzyme purified to homogeneity was highly glycosylated, showed slightly higher specific activity, and exhibited properties almost identical to those of the native enzyme from P. purpurogenum in terms of the N-terminal amino acid sequence, thermoactivity, pH profile, and mode of action on galacto-oligosaccharides.

Abstract
Purification of alpha-galactosidase from the roots of Verbascum thapsus L. was difficult to achieve using conventional methods due to the presence of coloured contaminants. A newly developed procedure, hybrid affinity chromatography, which was based on a mixed matrix separation procedure, using a substrate analogue and an immobilized metal affinity matrix as ligands, respectively, allowed the purification of this enzyme with good recovery. The method should be applicable to other proteins as well.

Abstract
An enzyme with beta-galactosidase activity and three proteins exhibiting alpha-galactosidase activity were purified from a culture filtrate of Aspergillus niger grown on arabinoxylan. beta-galactosidase, optimally active at pH 4 and 60-65 degrees C, was active against p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside, lactose, and pectic galactan. It was not able to release galactose from sugar beet pectin or lemon pectin. Its action on pectic galactan was increased by the presence of beta-galactanase. The three forms of alpha-galactosidase activity that showed different molecular masses and pIs were found to have the same mass after deglycosylation with N-glycanase F and to be the same protein based on their N-terminal amino acid sequence data. The purified alpha-galactosidase was shown to be different from alpha-galactosidase A from A. niger. This confirmed the existence of at least two different alpha-galactosidases in A. niger. alpha-Galactosidase, optimally active at pH 4.5 and 50-55 degrees C, was active toward p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside, melibiose, raffinose, stachyose, and locust bean gum, on which substrate it exhibited synergism with beta-mannanase.

Abstract
Thermotoga maritima represents one of the few hyperthermophilic bacteria currently known. The chromosomal alpha-galactosidase gene of T. maritima strain MSB8 has been cloned and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The gene, designated galA, has coding capacity for a 552 residue polypeptide with a calculated molecular mass of 63,653 Da. GalA was found to be flanked by other genes probably involved in galactoside breakdown and utilization. The previously sequenced beta-galactosidase gene, lacZ, is localized immediately upstream of galA while two open reading frames that putatively encode enzymes of galactose catabolism, i.e. galactose-1-phosphate uridylytransferase (galT) and galactokinase (galK), were found downstream of galA. The identified genes are extremely close together or even overlap and have the same orientation, so they could all be part of one galactoside utilization operon of T. maritima MSB8. GalA displayed low-level amino acid sequence similarity with alpha-galactoside of glycosyl hydrolase family 36. However, GalA is smaller than the other members of this enzyme family. The galA gene was expressed in Escherichia coli and the recombinant alpha-galactosidase was purified and characterized. The molecular mass of the recombinant enzyme was estimated at about 62 kDa by denaturting gel electrophoresis. Maximal hydrolysis of the chromogenic substrate p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside was measured at pH 5.0-5.5 and 90-95 degrees C (5 min assay). Divalent cations were not required for activity. The enzyme released galactose from raffinose, melibiose and the synthetic substrates p-nitrophenyl-and omicron-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside. The T. maritima alpha-galactosidase thus was highly specific for the galactose moiety and the alpha-anomeric configuration of the glycosidic linkage. Its extreme thermal stability (t 1/2 = 6.5 h at 85 degrees C) makes this enzyme an interesting candidate for biotechnological applications.

Abstract
The substrate specificities of three Penicillium simplicissimum alpha-galactosidases, AGLI, AGLII, and AGLIII, were determined by using various isolated galactose-containing oligosaccharides and polymeric galacto(gluco)mannans. AGLI released galactose from melibiose and raffinose-family oligosaccharides but the amount of galactose released was decreased from 96% to 35% by the increasing chain length of the substrate from raffinose to verbascose. It was able to release galactose linked to the nonreducing end and less efficiently to the internal residues of the galactomanno-oligomers. AGLI was able to hydrolyze 60-92% of galactose from polymeric galacto(gluco)mannans alone but its action was facilitated by mannanase and beta-mannosidase. In addition, it was able to release about 10% of the galactose from softwood kraft pulp alone and about 22% in combination with mannanase. AGLII was highly specific toward small galactose-containing oligosaccharides in which the galactose is linked to the nonreducing end of the substrate. It released 90-100% of galactose present in melibiose, raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose; however, it was able to degrade polymeric substrates only in combination with mannanase and beta-mannosidase. AGLIII had only low activity toward the oligomeric substrates tested. It was able to release some galactose from the polymeric galacto(gluco)mannans alone, but its action was clearly enhanced by the backbone degrading enzymes.

Abstract
One of natures most important biological processes is the degradation of lignocellulosic materials to carbon dioxide, water and humic substances. This implies possibilities to use biotechnology in the pulp and paper industry and consequently, the use of microorganisms and their enzymes to replace or supplement chemical methods is gaining interest. This chapter describes the structure of wood and the main wood components, cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignins. The enzyme and enzyme mechanisms used by fungi and bacteria to modify and degrade these components are described in detail. Techniques for how to assay for these enzyme activities are also described. The possibilities for biotechnology in the pulp and paper industry and other fiber utilizing industries based on these enzymes are discussed.

Abstract
Thermostable and thermoactive beta-mannanase (1,4-beta-D-mannan mannanohydrolase [EC 3.2.1.78]), beta-mannosidase (beta-D-mannopyranoside hydrolase [EC 3.2.1.25]) and alpha-galactosidase (alpha-D-galactoside galactohydrolase [EC 3.2.1.22]) were purified to homogeneity from cell extracts and extracellular culture supernatants of the hyperthermophilic eubacterium Thermotoga neapolitana 5068 grown on guar gum-based media. The beta-mannanase was an extracellular monomeric enzyme with a molecular mass of 65 kDa. The optimal temperature for activity was 90 to 92 degrees C, with half-lives (t1/2) of 34 h at 85 degrees C, 13 h at 90 degrees C, and 35 min at 100 degrees C. The beta-mannosidase and alpha-galactosidase were found primarily in cell extracts. The beta-mannosidase was a homodimer consisting of approximately 100-kDa molecular mass subunits. The optimal temperature for activity was 87 degrees C, with t1/2 of 18 h at 85 degrees C, 42 min at 90 degrees C, and 2 min at 98 degrees C. The alpha-galactosidase was a 61-kDa monomeric enzyme with a temperature optimum of 100 to 103 degrees C and t1/2 of 9 h at 85 degrees C, 2 h at 90 degrees C, and 3 min at 100 degrees C. These enzymes represent the most thermostable and thermoactive versions of these types yet reported and probably act synergistically to hydrolyze extracellular galactomannans to monosaccharides by T. neapolitana for nutritional purposes. The significance of such substrates in geothermal environments remains to be seen.
