[PMID: 38235362 PMCID: PMC10792170 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2023.12.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Members of the phylum Bacteroidetes play a key role in the marine carbon cycle through their degradation of polysaccharides via carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs). The discovery of novel CAZymes and PULs is important for our understanding of the marine carbon cycle. In this study, we isolated and identified a potential new genus of the family Catalimonadaceae, in the phylum Bacteroidetes, from the southwest Indian Ocean. Strain TK19036, the type strain of the new genus, is predicted to encode CAZymes that are relatively abundant in marine Bacteroidetes genomes. Tunicatimonas pelagia NBRC 107804T, Porifericola rhodea NBRC 107748T and Catalinimonas niigatensis NBRC 109829T, which exhibit 16 S rRNA similarities exceeding 90% with strain TK19036, and belong to the same family, were selected as reference strains. These organisms possess a highly diverse repertoire of CAZymes and PULs, which may enable them to degrade a wide range of polysaccharides, especially pectin and alginate. In addition, some secretory CAZymes in strain TK19036 and its relatives were predicted to be transported by type IX secretion system (T9SS). Further, to the best of our knowledge, we propose the first reported "hybrid" PUL targeting alginates in T. pelagia NBRC 107804T. Our findings provide new insights into the polysaccharide degradation capacity of marine Bacteroidetes, and suggest that T9SS may play a more important role in this process than previously believed.

Protein Expr Purif 2024; 218:106448. [PMID: 38373510 DOI: 10.1016/j.pep.2024.106448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024]
Abstract
Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) plays a crucial role in lignocellulose degradation and bioelectrochemical industries, making it highly in demand. However, the production and purification of CDH through fungal heterologous expression methods is time-consuming, costly, and challenging. In this study, we successfully displayed Pycnoporus sanguineus CDH (psCDH) on the surface of Bacillus subtilis spores for the first time. Enzymatic characterization revealed that spore surface display enhanced the tolerance of psCDH to high temperature (80 °C) and low pH levels (3.5) compared to free psCDH. Furthermore, we found that glycerol, lactic acid, and malic acid promoted the activity of immobilized spore-displayed psCDH; glycerol has a more significant stimulating effect, increasing the activity from 16.86 ± 1.27 U/mL to 46.26 ± 3.25 U/mL. After four reuse cycles, the psCDH immobilized with spores retained 48% of its initial activity, demonstrating a substantial recovery rate. In conclusion, the spore display system, relying on cotG, enables the expression and immobilization of CDH while enhancing its resistance to adverse conditions. This system demonstrates efficient enzyme recovery and reuse. This approach provides a novel method and strategy for the immobilization and stability enhancement of CDH.
