(Accepted 12 February 1996) Summary-Carboxymethyl cellulase and polygalacturonase activities were evaluated in wild-type strains from different taxonomic groups of rhizobia which nodulate a specific range of legume hosts that do not normally overlap (R. meliloti, R. loti, R. leguminosarumbiovar trifolii, R. leguminosarumbiovar phaseoli, R. leguminosarum biovar viceae, and Bradyrhizobium japonicum). To detect these enzymatic activities we used various methods, a double-layer plate assay, quantitation of reducing sugar products with a bicinchoninate reagent, and viscometric assay. CM-cellulase activity was found in extracts from all the rhizobia tested. In contrast, polygalacturonase activity was only found in R. leguminosarumbiovar trifolii and R. meliloti. CM-cellulase and polygalacturonase enzymes were cell-bound and not detected in the extracellular culture medium. CM-cellulase isozymes were examined using activity gel electrophoresis. The results obtained shown a heterogeneity of CM-cellulase isozymes among the strains tested. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis of an involvement of rhizobial cellulolytic enzymes in the invasion of legumes by Rhizobium.

The AstaaG1 gene from a shoyu koji mold, A. sojae KBN1340, comprised 2,063 bp with eight introns. AsTaaG1 consisted of 498 amino acid residues possessing high identity to other Aspergilli α-amylase sequences. Dis- ruption of the AstaaG1 gene resulted in no detectable α-amylase production in starch medium. Promoter activity of the AstaaG1 gene, monitored by xylanase activity, was upregulated with replacement of the CCAAT-like sequence. Site-directed mutation of the CCAAT-like sequence increased xylanase production approximately four times higher than that of the wild type. These results clearly demonstrate that the de- creased copy number of the taa gene and the low affinity binding sequence to the Hap complex lead to the lower amylolytic activity of A. sojae compared to that of A. oryzae.

In this work, we extensively studied the physiological response of L. hordei TMW 1.1822 to sucrose compared to glucose, applying label-free, quantitative proteomics of cell lysates and exoproteomes. This revealed the differential expression of 53 proteins within cellular proteomes, mostly associated with carbohydrate uptake and metabolism. Supported by growth experiments, this suggests that L. hordei TMW 1.1822 favors fructose over other sugars. The dextransucrase was expressed irrespectively of the present carbon source, while it was significantly more released in the presence of sucrose (log2FC = 3.09), being among the most abundant proteins within exoproteomes of sucrose-treated cells. Still, L. hordei TMW 1.1822 expressed other sucrose active enzymes, predictively competing with the dextransucrase reaction.

Endo-Beta 1,4 Xylanase Enzymes • Are extremely selective for specific substrates • Activity affected by inhibitors, pH, temperature, concentration of substrate • Commercial enzyme products are typically mixtures of different enzymes, the enzymes often complement the activity of one another Endo-Beta 1,4 Xylanase Types of Enzymes in Pulp and Paper and Respective Substrates • Amylase --- starch • Cellulase --- cellulose fibers • Protease --- proteins • Hemicellulases(Xylanase) ---hemicellulose • Lipase --- glycerol backbone, pitch • Esterase --- esters, stickies • Pectinase --- pectins Endo-Beta 1,4 Xylanase Enzyme Applications in Pulp and Paper • Treat starches for paper applications • Enhanced bleaching • Treatment for pitch • Enhanced deinking • Treatment for stickies in paper recycling • Removal of fines • Reduce refining energy • Cleans white water systems • Improve

Page 2/27 Abstract Background: Plant cell walls are the main physical barrier encountered by pathogens colonizing plant tissues. Alteration of cell wall integrity (CWI) can activate specic defenses by impairing proteins involved in cell wall biosynthesis, degradation and remodeling, or cell wall damage due to biotic or abiotic stress. Polygalacturonase (PG) depolymerize pectin by hydrolysis, thereby altering pectin composition and structures and activating cell wall defense.
