Abstract
Polysaccharides have attracted immense attention as the largest source of bioactive compounds. Its bioavailability and bioactivity can be improved by utilizing degradation enzymes to reduce their molecular weight and viscosity. In this study, a 654 bp gene encoding xylanase was screened from the genome of Bacillus altitudinis JYY-02 and overexpressed in Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3). The recombinant xylanase with a molecular weight of 27.98 kDa was purified (11.7-fold) using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography, with a 43.6% final yield. Through molecular docking, Glu, Arg, Tyr, and Trp were found to be the main amino acids involved in the interaction between xylanase and xylobiose. The effects of pH, temperature, metal ions, and substrates on xylanase activity were determined, and the results showed that the highest catalytic activity was displayed at pH 6.5, 50 °C temperature, with Cu2+ as an activator and xylan as the substrate. The Km (substrate concentration that yields a half-maximal velocity) and Vmax (maximum velocity) of recombinant xylanase were 6.876 mg/mL and 10984.183 μmol/mg∙pr/min, respectively. The recombinant xylanase was thermostable, with 85% and 39% of the enzymatic activity retained after 1 h at 60 °C and 1 h at 90 °C, respectively. The recombinant xylanase demonstrated a significant clarifying effect on fruit juices.

Abstract
Lignocellulolytic enzymes are used in different industrial and environmental processes. The rigorous operating circumstances of these industries, however, might prevent these enzymes from performing as intended. On the other side, extremozymes are enzymes produced by extremophiles that can function in extremely acidic or basic; hot or cold; under high or low salinity conditions. These severe conditions might denature the normal enzymes that are produced by mesophilic microorganisms. The increased stability of these enzymes has been contributed to a number of conformational modifications in their structures. These modifications may result from a few amino acid substitutions, an improved hydrophobic core, the existence of extra ion pairs and salt bridges, an increase in compactness, or an increase in positively charged amino acids. These enzymes are the best option for industrial and bioremediation activities that must be carried out under difficult conditions due to their improved stability. The review, therefore, discusses lignocellulolytic extremozymes, their structure and mechanisms along with industrial and biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Xylanase and β-xylosidase are the key enzymes for hemicellulose hydrolysis. To further improve hydrolysis efficacy, high temperature hydrolysis with thermostable hemicellulases showed promise. In this study, thermostable xylanase (Xyn) and β-xylosidase (XynB) genes from Pseudothermotoga thermarum were cloned and secretory expressed in Bacillu subtilis. Compared with Escherichia coli expression host, B. subtilis resulted in a 1.5 time increase of enzymatic activity for both recombinant enzymes. The optimal temperature and pH were 95°C and 6.5 for Xyn, and 95°C and 6.0 for XynB. Thermostability of both recombinant enzymes was observed between the temperature range of 75-85°C. Molecular docking analysis through AutoDock showed the involvement of Glu525, Asn526, Trp774 and Arg784 in Xyn-ligand interaction, and Val237, Lys238, Val761 and Asn76 in XynB-ligand interaction, respectively. The recombinant Xyn and XynB exhibited synergistic hydrolysis of beechwood xylan and pretreated lignocellulose, where Xyn and XynB pre-hydrolysis achieved a better improvement of pretreated lignocellulose hydrolysis by commercial cellulase. The observed stability of the enzymes at high temperature and the synergistic effect on lignocellulosic substrates suggested possible application of these enzymes in the field of saccharification process.

Abstract
Human population growth, industrialization, and globalization have caused several pressures on the planet's natural resources, culminating in the severe climate and environmental crisis which we are facing. Aiming to remedy and mitigate the impact of human activities on the environment, the use of lignocellulolytic enzymes for biofuel production, food, bioremediation, and other various industries, is presented as a more sustainable alternative. These enzymes are characterized as a group of enzymes capable of breaking down lignocellulosic biomass into its different monomer units, making it accessible for bioconversion into various products and applications in the most diverse industries. Among all the organisms that produce lignocellulolytic enzymes, microorganisms are seen as the primary sources for obtaining them. Therefore, this review proposes to discuss the fundamental aspects of the enzymes forming lignocellulolytic systems and the main microorganisms used to obtain them. In addition, different possible industrial applications for these enzymes will be discussed, as well as information about their production modes and considerations about recent advances and future perspectives in research in pursuit of expanding lignocellulolytic enzyme uses at an industrial scale.

Abstract
Xylanases (EC 3.2.1.8) have been considered as a potential green solution for the sustainable development of a wide range of industries including pulp and paper, food and beverages, animal feed, pharmaceuticals, and biofuels because they are the key enzymes that degrade the xylosidic linkages of xylan, the major component of the second most abundant raw material worldwide. Therefore, there is a critical need for the industrialized xylanases which must have high specific activity, be tolerant to organic solvent or detergent and be active during a wide range of conditions, such as high temperature and pH. In this study, an extracellular xylanase was purified from the culture broth of Aspergillus niger VTCC 017 for primary structure determination and properties characterization. The successive steps of purification comprised centrifugation, Sephadex G-100 filtration, and DEAE-Sephadex chromatography. The purified xylanase (specific activity reached 6596.79 UI/mg protein) was a monomer with a molecular weight of 37 kDa estimating from SDS electrophoresis. The results of LC/MS suggested that the purified protein is indeed an endo-1,4-β-D-xylanase. The purified xylanase showed the optimal temperature of 55 °C, and pH 6.5 with a stable xylanolytic activity within the temperature range of 45-50 °C, and within the pH range of 5.0-8.0. Most divalent metal cations including Zn2+, Fe2+, Mg2+, Cu2+, Mn2+ showed some inhibition of xylanase activity while the monovalent metal cations such as K+ and Ag+ exhibited slight stimulating effects on the enzyme activity. The introduction of 10-30% different organic solvents (n-butanol, acetone, isopropanol) and several detergents (Triton X-100, Tween 20, and SDS) slightly reduced the enzyme activity. Moreover, the purified xylanase seemed to be tolerant to methanol and ethanol and was even stimulated by Tween 80. Overall, with these distinctive properties, the putative xylanase could be a successful candidate for numerous industrial uses.
