The ability of members of Aspergillus sections Nigri, Flavi, and Terrei to produce feruloyl esterases was studied according to their substrate specificity against synthetic methyl esters of hydroxycinnamic acids. Type A feruloyl esterases (FAEA), induced during growth on cereal-derived products, show a preference for the phenolic moiety of substrates that contain methoxy substitutions, as found in methyl sinapinate, whereas type B feruloyl esterases (FAEB) show a preference for the phenolic moiety of substrates that contain hydroxyl substitutions, as occurs in methyl caffeate. All the strains of Aspergillus section Nigri (e.g., A. niger and A. foetidus) were able to produce feruloyl esterases with activity profiles similar to those reported for FAEA and FAEB of A. niger when grown on oat–spelt xylan and sugar beet pulp, respectively. The two genes encoding these proteins, faeA and faeB, were identified by Southern blot analysis. The strains of Aspergillus sections Flavi (e.g., A. flavus, A. flavo-furcatus, and A. tamarii) and Terrei (e.g., A. terreus) were able to produce type A and type B enzymes. faeA was revealed in genomic DNA of these strains, and FAEA was determined by immunodetection in cultures grown in oat–spelt xylan. In addition, type B enzymes, not related to faeB, were efficiently induced by oat–spelt xylan and exhibited very original activity profiles on sugar beet pulp. This work confirms that the members of the genus Aspergillus are good feruloyl esterase producers.Key words: Aspergillus, Nigri, Flavi, Terrei, feruloyl esterase.

The commercial availability of low-gluten or gluten-free flours has been increasing due to consumer demands, which raises new challenges for the management of stored product insects since little is known about the susceptibility of these flours to infestation. Here we measured oviposition and development of Tribolium castaneum, the red flour beetle, a major pest of wheat and rice mills, on 18 different commercially available flours (almond, amaranth, barley, buckwheat, cassava, coconut, corn, garbanzo, millet, oat, potato, quinoa, rice, rye, sorghum, spelt, teff, and wheat) to assess the level of risk. The average number of eggs laid was highest for teff flour, with wheat, rice, buckwheat, sorghum, barley, rye, and spelt flour also having high oviposition. The lowest oviposition was for potato, quinoa, amaranth and cassava. Holding the eggs laid in these flours and evaluating the ability to develop to the adult stage demonstrated that the average number of adult progeny was highest for teff and wheat, followed by buckwheat, rye, oat, spelt, and millet. In an experiment where single eggs were placed directly in flour, the highest percentage development was in barley, buckwheat, sorghum, spelt, teff, and wheat. Time for 50% of single eggs to develop to adults was quickest for sorghum, spelt, teff, and wheat, while sorghum, buckwheat, corn, spelt, and barley had the quickest development of 90% of eggs to reach adults. There was substantial variation among the different flours which indicates variation in risk of insect infestation. As consumer interest in these flours continues to grow and these alternative flours become more prevalent in food facilities, understanding what diets insects successfully infest is critical to developing management tools.

Renewable natural resources such as xylans are abundant in many agricultural wastes. Penicillium sp. AHT-1 is a strong producer of xylanolytic enzymes. The sequential activities of its xylanase, α-L-arabinofuranosidase, and β-xylosidase on model hemicellulose oat–spelt xylan was investigated. Optimum production of the enzymes was found in culture containing oat–spelt xylan at 30°C and initial pH 7.0 after 6 days. The enzymes were partially purified by ammonium sulphate fractionation and anion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Toyopearl 650 S. The apparent molecular mass was 21 kDa, and the protein displayed an "endo" mode of action. The xylanase exhibited glycotransferase activity. It synthesized higher oligosaccharides from the initial substrates, and xylotriose was the shortest unit of substrate transglycosylated. Xylanolytic enzymes (enzyme mixture) produced by this Penicillium sp. interacted cooperatively and sequentially in the hydrolysis of oat–spelt xylan in the following order: α-L-arabinofuranosidase [Formula: see text] xylanase [Formula: see text] β-xylosidase. All three enzymes exhibited optimal activity under the same conditions (temperature, pH, cultivation), indicating that they alone are sufficient to completely depolymerize the test xylan. Results indicate that the xylanolytic enzyme mixture of Penicillium sp. AHT-1 could be useful for bioconversion of xylan-rich plant wastes to value-added products.Key words: xylanase, enzyme purification, enzymatic hydrolysis, Penicillium sp. AHT-1.

Abstract Xylanase production of newly isolated thermophilic alkali-tolerant Bacillus sp. strain SP and strain BC was investigated in batch and continuous cultures. Enzyme synthesis was inducible with both strains and was observed only in xylan-containing media. Xylan from oat spelt is a better inducer than xylan from birch for strain Bacillus sp. BC while such difference was not observed for strain SP Compared with batch cultures xylanase production of both strains increased about two times and its rate became more than four times faster in continuous cultures at a dilution rate of 0.2 h-1.

Xylanase genes xyn10D, xyn10E, and xyn10B, located sequentially on the Fibrobacter succinogenes S85 chromosome, were separately cloned and their properties characterized. Analysis of the sequences documented that xylanases Xyn10D, Xyn10E, and Xyn10B each consist of an N-terminal catalytic domain (glycosyl hydrolase family 10) and a C-terminal carbohydrate-binding module (CBM, family 6) connected by proline-rich linker sequences. The amino acid sequences exhibited similarities of between 53 and 60%. The xyn10D, xyn10E, and truncated xyn10BΔCBM were expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. The purified Xyn10D, Xyn10E, and Xyn10BΔCBM exhibited the same temperature optimum (40°C) and pH optimum (6.5) and the highest specific activity against arabinoxylan, oat spelt xylan, and birchwood xylan, respectively. Xyn10D exhibited an affinity for cellulose and xylan with 47 and 33% binding, respectively, while the truncated Xyn10DΔCBM did not bind to the substrates. The main hydrolysis products of the three xylanases acting on oat spelt xylan and arabinoxylan were xylose and xylobiose. RT-PCR analysis showed that the three genes were co-transcribed as a single transcript. Western immunoblot analysis revealed that the three xylanases were expressed at a very low level by F. succinogenes grown on either glucose or cellulose as the source of carbohydrate.Key words: Fibrobacter succinogenes S85, xylan, xylanase, clustered genes, RT-PCR.

A genomic library consisting of 4- to 7-kb EcoRI DNA fragments from Fibrobacter succinogenes 135 was constructed using a phage vector, λgtWESλB, and Escherichia coli ED8654 as the host bacterium. Two positive plaques, designated λFSX101 and λFSX102, were identified. The inserts were 10.5 and 9.8 kb, respectively. A 2.3-kb EcoRI fragment that was subcloned from λFSX101 into pBR322 also showed xylanase activity. Southern blot analysis showed that the cloned EcoRI fragment containing the xylanase gene had originated from F. succinogenes 135. The cloned endo-(1,4)-β-D-xylanase gene (pFSX02) was expressed constitutively in E. coli HB101 when grown on LB and on M9 medium containing either glucose or glycerol as the carbon source. Most of the β-D-xylanase activity was located in the periplasmic space. Zymogram activity stains of nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels and isoelectric focusing gels showed that several xylanase isoenzymes were present in the periplasmic fraction of the E. coli clone FSX02 and they probably were due to posttranslational modification of a single gene product. Comparison of the FSX02 xylanase and the xylanase from the extracellular culture fluids of F. succinogenes 135 and S85 for their ability to degrade oat spelt xylan showed that, for equal units of β-D-xylanase activity, hydrolysis by the cloned gene product was more complete. However, unlike the unfractionated mixture of xylanases from F. succinogenes 135 and S85, the enzyme from E. coli FSX02 was unable to release arabinose from oat spelt xylan. Key words: rumen bacterium, xylanase gene, λgtWESλB, cellulolysis, Fibrobacter succinogenes.
