McCleary, PhD, DScAgr Innovative test methods with exceptional technical support and customer service. The Megazyme Promise. Megazyme was founded in 1988 with the specific aim of developing and supplying innovative test kits and reagents for the cereals, food, feed and fermentation industries. There is a clear need for good, validated methods for the measurement of the polysaccharides and enzymes that affect the quality of plant products from the farm gate to the final food. The commitment of Megazyme to “Setting New Standards in Test Technology” has been continually recognised over the years, with Megazyme and founder, Dr McCleary, receiving a number of business and scientific awards. Today, Megazyme is a recognised world leader in the development of high quality, innovative test technology; eight of its tests are USA recommended and/or Official Methods and many of its methods are industry standards worldwide. Success in achieving these goals has been due to innovative research together with an understanding of the needs of our customers. Megazyme has its research and manufacturing facilities in Bray, Ireland and has sales and distribution agreements in over 30 countries. The company exports over 98% of its products to over 60 countries including North America, Europe, Australasia, Middle East and the Far East. The success of Megazyme is not just related to our impressive product portfolio (~ 500 products), but to the standard of excellence achieved in developing, manufacturing and marketing quality products that meet market demands. In our creed, the customer truly does come first. We demonstrate this through the services we offer, above and beyond the products we supply. We offer worldwide express delivery on all our shipments. In general, technical queries are answered within 48 hours. To make information immediately available to our customers, we established a website in 1994, and this is continually updated. Today, it acts as the source of a wealth of information on Megazyme products, but also is the hub of our commercial activities. It offers the possibility to purchase and pay on-line, to view order history, to track shipments, and many other features to support customer needs. From a technical point of view, it holds a host of product information such as Data Booklets, MSDS, Certificates of Analysis (COA), Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), Product Performance information and Mega-Calc™ EXCEL™ based calculation tools. The value and functionality of this site has been recognised through several business awards. Since 2003, Megazyme has expanded through the introduction of a Molecular Biology Division, allowing the production of enzymes for incorporation into new test kits. This new platform technology has resulted in the launch of a range of new research/analytical enzymes and many new and improved test kits which are finding rapid adoption in the wine, dairy and food industries worldwide. More recent research has been directed towards the needs of the Biofuels industry, with the production and supply of a wider range of enzyme substrates, oligosaccharides and research enzymes.

  • Non-Homologous Isofunctional Enzymes: a Systematic Analysis Of
    Omelchenko et al. Biology Direct 2010, 5:31 http://www.biology-direct.com/content/5/1/31 RESEARCH Open Access Non-homologousResearch isofunctional enzymes: A systematic analysis of alternative solutions in enzyme evolution Marina V Omelchenko, Michael Y Galperin*, Yuri I Wolf and Eugene V Koonin Abstract Background: Evolutionarily unrelated proteins that catalyze the same biochemical reactions are often referred to as analogous - as opposed to homologous - enzymes. The existence of numerous alternative, non-homologous enzyme isoforms presents an interesting evolutionary problem; it also complicates genome-based reconstruction of the metabolic pathways in a variety of organisms. In 1998, a systematic search for analogous enzymes resulted in the identification of 105 Enzyme Commission (EC) numbers that included two or more proteins without detectable sequence similarity to each other, including 34 EC nodes where proteins were known (or predicted) to have distinct structural folds, indicating independent evolutionary origins. In the past 12 years, many putative non-homologous isofunctional enzymes were identified in newly sequenced genomes. In addition, efforts in structural genomics resulted in a vastly improved structural coverage of proteomes, providing for definitive assessment of (non)homologous relationships between proteins. Results: We report the results of a comprehensive search for non-homologous isofunctional enzymes (NISE) that yielded 185 EC nodes with two or more experimentally characterized - or predicted - structurally unrelated proteins. Of these NISE sets, only 74 were from the original 1998 list. Structural assignments of the NISE show over-representation of proteins with the TIM barrel fold and the nucleotide-binding Rossmann fold. From the functional perspective, the set of NISE is enriched in hydrolases, particularly carbohydrate hydrolases, and in enzymes involved in defense against oxidative stress.

Haritos ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Committee Member Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Chelsea N. Monty Dr. George R. Newkome ___________________________________ Date ii ABSTRACT Trichoderma reesei RUT-C30 was cultivated in shaker flasks and pH-controlled, agitated batch fermentations to study the effects of soy-based media on the production of cellulase, xylanase, and pectinase (polygalacturonase) for the purposes of soybean polysaccharide hydrolysis. Growth on defatted soybean flour as sole nitrogen source was compared to the standard combination of ammonium sulfate, proteose peptone, and urea. Carbon source effect was also examined for a variety of substrates, including lactose, microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel), citrus pectin, soy molasses, soy flour hydrolysate, and soybean hulls (both pretreated and natural). Flask study results indicated exceptional enzyme induction by Avicel and soybean hulls, while citrus pectin, soy molasses, and soy flour hydrolysate did not promote enzyme production. Batch fermentation experiments reflected the flask system results, showing the highest cellulase and xylanase activities for systems grown with Avicel and soybean hulls at near-neutral pH levels, and the highest polygalacturonase activity resulting from growth on lactose and soybean hulls at lower pH levels, 4.0 to 4.5.

Visco Jr. Committee Member Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Lingyun Liu Dr. Chand Midha Committee Member Date Dr. Ge Zhang Committee Member Dr. Pei-Yang Liu ii ABSTRACT Global demand for seafood is growing rapidly and more than 40% of the demand is met by aquaculture. Conventional aquaculture diet used fishmeal as the protein source. The limited production of fishmeal cannot meet the increase of aquaculture production. Therefore, it is desirable to partially or totally replace fishmeal with less-expensive protein sources, such as poultry by-product meal, feather meal blood meal, or meat and bone meal. However, these feeds are deficient in one or more of the essential amino acids, especially lysine, isoleucine and methionine. And, animal protein sources are increasingly less acceptable due to health concerns. One option is to utilize a sustainable, economic and safe plant protein sources, such as soybean. The soybean industry has been very prominent in many countries in the last 20 years. The worldwide soybean production has increased 106% since 1996 to 2010[1]. Soybean protein is becoming the best choice of sustainable, economic and safe protein sources.

Furthermore, due to its highly efcient protein secretion system and adaptable metabolism, it has been widely used as a cell factory for microbial production of chemicals, enzymes, and antimicrobial materials for industry, agriculture, and medicine. In this mini- review, we frst summarize the basic genetic manipulation tools and expression systems for this bacterium, including traditional methods and novel engineering systems. Secondly, we briefy introduce its applications in the production of chemicals and enzymes, and summarize its advantages, mainly focusing on some noteworthy products and recent progress in the engineering of B. subtilis. Finally, this review also covers applications such as microbial additives and antimicrobials, as well as bioflm systems and spore formation. We hope to provide an overview for novice researchers in this area, ofering them a better understanding of B. subtilis and its applications. Keywords: Bacillus subtilis, Genetic manipulation, Protein expression, Biochemicals, Enzymes, Antimicrobials, Bioflms Introduction fermentation cycle is shorter, usually, around 48 h, while Bacillus subtilis is an aerobic, Gram-positive soil bacte- the fermentation cycle of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is rium, which has been widely used for the production of around 180 h [2, 3].

HAIGLERt, SARAH JOHNSONt, MELODY WAINSCOTTt, AND DEBORAH P. DELMER*t *Department of Botany, Institute of Life Sciences, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 91904, Israel; and tDepartment of Biological Sciences, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409 Communicated by Joseph E. Varner§, Washington University, St. Louis, MO, June 22 1995 ABSTRACT Sucrose synthase (SuSy; EC 2.4.1.13; sucrose starch deposition and extensive cell wall degeneration in + UDP = UDPglucose + fructose) has always been studied mutant maize endosperm deficient in SuSy activity (11). as a cytoplasmic enzyme in plant cells where it serves to Developing cotton fibers transiently synthesize callose at the degrade sucrose and provide carbon for respiration and onset of secondary wall deposition followed by massive syn- synthesis of cell wall polysaccharides and starch. We report thesis of cellulose, making them an excellent system for here that at least half of the total SuSy of developing cotton studying synthesis of these 13-glucans (12). In searching for the fibers (Gossypium hirsutum) is tightly associated with the catalytic subunit of the cellulose or callose synthase, we plasma membrane. Therefore, this form of SuSy might serve demonstrated that the most abundant UDP-Glc binding to channel carbon directly from sucrose to cellulose and/or polypeptide in the cotton fiber plasma membrane was one of callose synthases in the plasma membrane. By using detached 84 kDa (13).
