Abstract
Abstract: Heterologous endo-xanthanase (EX) from the thermophilic planktomycete Thermogutta terrifontis strain was obtained using Penicillium verruculosum 537 (ΔniaD) expression system with the cellobiohydrolase 1 gene promoter. Homogeneous EX with a molecular weight of 23.7 kDa (pI 6.5) was isolated using liquid chromatography methods. This xanthan degrading enzyme also possesses the enzymatic activity towards CM-cellulose, β-glucan, curdlan, lichenan, laminarin, galactomannan, xyloglucan but not towards p-nitrophenyl derivatives of β-D-glucose, mannose and cellobiose. The temperature and pH optima of EX were 55°C and 4.0, respectively; the enzyme exhibited 90% of its maximum activity in the temperature range 50-60°C and pH 3-5.
