Xylanase have been used to convert the polymetric xylan into fermentable sugars from the production of ethanol and xylitol from plant biomass. The aim of this study was to isolate and identify xylanolytic bacterium from herbivore feces and was to used the xylanase for enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass. Xylanolytic strains were isolated from 59 different feces of herbivores from Seoul Grand Park located in Gwacheon Gyeonggi-do. The xylanolytic strains were selected by congo red staining and DNS method. Total 67 strains isolated from the herbivores feces were tested for xylanase activity. Among the strains, H10-1, which has the highest xylanase activity, was isolated from feces of Ceratotherium simum. The H10-1 strain was identified as Bacillus pumilus based on its morphological/biochemical characteristics and partial 16S rDNA gene sequences. Culture conditions of B. pumilus H10-1 such as initial medium pH, incubation temperature and incubation time were optimized for maximum xylanase production. And also xylanase produced by B. pumilus H10-1 was applied for the saccharification of Miscanthus sacchariflorus cv. 'Geodae 1', which was pretreated with 1.5M NaOH. The optimized culture conditions of B. pumilus H10-1 were pH 9, $30^{\circ}C$ incubation temperature, and 7 day incubation time, respectively. This xylanase activity under the optimized conditions was $20.4{\pm}3.3IU$. The crude xylanase produced by B. pumilus H10-1 was used for the saccharification of xylan derived from pretreated 'Geodae 1'. The saccharification conditions were $50^{\circ}C$, 200 rpm, and 5 days. Saccharification efficiency of pretreated 'Geodae 1' by B. pumilus H10-1 was 8.2%.

A Bacillus sp. A-6 strain that produced xylanase was isolated from rice bran. The optimal temperature and pH for xylanase activity of the culture supernatant of Bacillus sp. A-6 were 40$^{\circ}C$ and pH 7, respectively. The optimal temperature and pH for xylanase production in the xylan medium were 30$^{\circ}C$ and pH 9, respectively. The optimal concentrations of oat spelt xylan and peptone for xylanase production were 0.5% and 1.5%, respectively. The best nitrogen sources for xylanase production was beef extract, but xylanase production was also supported comparably by tryptone and peptone. The bacterial growth in the optimal xylan medium reached stationary growth phase after 12 h of incubation. The xylanase production in the culture supernatant increased dramatically during the initial 12 h exponential growth phase and then remained constant at 23.8-24.5 unit/ml during the stationary growth phase. The pH of the culture medium decreased from 8.8 to 6.7 during the exponential growth phase and subsequently increased to 8.1 during the stationary growth phase. Rice bran, sorghum bran, and wheat bran as well as oat spelt xylan induced xylanase production. The xylanase production was repressed when glucose was added to the xylan-containing medium.

리그닌 분해 세균인 Pseudomonas sp. LG2는 lignocellulose 기질을 분해하여 APPL 화합물을 생성하는 균주이다. 이 균주를 BSG(brewer's spent grain)가 함유된 배지에서 배양한 배양액에서 APPL 화합물을 확인하였다. 세포외 조효소들의 유도에 관한 여러 가지 탄소원의 영향을 조사한 결과 glucose 배지에서는 xylanase의 효소활성만 확인 되었고 xylose, arabinose에서 배양한 조효소에서는 FAE 및 xylanase의 효소활성이 없었다. Oat spelt xylan, HBSG I(hydrolyzed brewer's spent grain I), HBSG II(hydrolyzed brewer's spent grain II) 및 AFBSG(autoclaved fraction from brewer's spent grain)를 탄소원으로 배양한 조효소에서는 FAE 및 xylanase의 효소활성이 확인됐다. Pseudomonas sp. LG2를 oat spelt xylan, HBSG I, HBSG II 및 AFBSG를 탄소원으로 사용하여 14일 동안 배양하면서 배양기간에 따른 세포외 효소들의 FAE와 xylanase 활성을 조사하였다. Xylanase의 최고 활성은 xylan을 탄소원으로 6일간 배양 했을때 5.3 U/mg으로 가장 높았으며, FAE의 최고 활성은 AFBSG를 탄소원으로 배양했을 때 배양 8일째 15.4 mU/mg으로 가장 높았다. Oat spelt xylan, HBSG I, HBSG II 및 AFBSG를 탄소원으로 사용하여 배양한 배지에 분리된 ferulic acid가 확인되었다. 세포외 효소의 FAE 활성은 methyl ferulic acid, methyl caffeic acid, methyl p-coumaric acid에 대해 esterase의 활성을 보였으나, methyl sinapinic acid, methyl vanillic acid 및 methyl gallic acid에 대해서는 esterase의 활성이 없었다.

A bacterium AB-55, isolated from waste mushroom bed of Agaricus bisporus in Sukseong-myeon, Buyeo-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, Korea, was screened onto xylan agar congo-red plate by the xylanolysis method and was used to produce an xylanase in shaker buffle flask cultures containing oat spelt xylans. The phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequence data showed that the strain AB-55 had the highest homology (99.0%) with Bacillus subtilis and it was named as Bacillus subtilis AB-55. A xylanase was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation (50~80%), gel filtration on sephacryl S-300, and ion exchange chromatography on DEAE sepharose FF. The molecular weight of the xylanase was estimated as 44 kDa by SDS-PAGE. Optimal pH and temperature for the xylanase activity was pH 7 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme was identified as Ser-Ala-Val-Lys-His-Gly-Ala-Ile-Val-Phe. The substrate specificity of the enzyme exhibited that it hydrolyzed efficiently oat spelt xylan as well as beechwood xylan, but showed no activity against Avicel and carboxymethyl clellulose (CMC). The enzyme activity was enhanced by $Fe^{2+}$ and $Mn^{2+}$ whereas was entirely inhibited by $Hg^+$.

탄소원으로 palm kernel meal(PKM)과 밀기울을 함유한 배지에서 농후배양하여 작물 재배 토양으로부터 xylan과 locust bean gum(LBG)에 대한 분해활성이 있는 균을 분리하였다. 분리균 YB-1107의 16S rDNA 서열이 Cellulosimicrobium 속 균주와 유사도가 높은 균주로 판명되었다. 분리균의 mannanase는 LBG와 PKM에 의해 생산성이 증가된 반면에 xylanase는 oat spelt xylan과 밀기울에 의해 생산성이 증가되었다. Mannanase는 0.7% PKM을 첨가한 배지, xylanase는 1% 밀기울을 첨가한 배지에서 각각 최대 생산성을 보였으며 모두 정지기에서 생산이 되었다. 분리균의 배양상등액은 $55^{\circ}C$와 pH 6.5에서 mannanase의 최대활성을 보였으며, $65^{\circ}C$와 pH 5.5에서 xylanase의 최적반응 활성을 나타냈다. Mannanase에 의해 분해된 LBG와 xylanase에 의해 분해된 xylan으로부터 각각 올리고당이 관찰되었으며, 또한 이들 효소는 밀기울과 미강도 분해하여 올리고당으로 전환하는 것으로 확인되었다.

Xylanase plays important roles in a broad range of industrial production as a biocatalyst, and its applications commonly require immobilization on supports to enhance its stability. Aluminum hydroxide, a carrier material with high surface area, has the advantages of simple and low-cost preparation and resistance to biodegradation, and can be potentially used as a proper support for xylanase immobilization. In this work, xylanase from Thermomyces lanuginosus was immobilized on two types of aluminum hydroxide particles (gibbsite and amorphous Al(OH)₃) through adsorption, and the properties of the adsorbed enzymes were studied. Both particles had considerable adsorptive capacity and affinity for xylanase. Xylanase retained 75% and 64% of the original catalytic activities after adsorption to gibbsite and amorphous Al(OH)₃. Both the adsorptions improved pH and thermal stability, lowered activation energy, and extended lifespan of the immobilized enzyme, as compared with the free enzyme. Xylanase adsorbed on gibbsite and amorphous Al(OH)₃ retained 71% and 64% of its initial activity, respectively, after being recycled five times. These results indicated that aluminum hydroxides served as good supports for xylanase immobilization. Therefore, the adsorption of xylanase on aluminum hydroxide particles has promising potential for practical production.

Xylanase(1, 4-beta-D-xylan xylanohydrolase` EC 3.2.1.8) II was purified from Penicillium verruculosum by using the techniques of two anion exchange chromatographies, and gel filtration. The molecular weight of this enzyme was about 22, 000 as determined by SDS-electrophoresis. The enzyme showed hydropytic activity toward xylan but did not catalyze hydrolysis of Rho-nitrophenyl-beta-D-xylopyranoside, Rho-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, Rho-nitrophenyl-beta-D-cellobiopyranoside, and celluloses such as Avicel, cotton, filter paper, carboxymethylcellulose.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of extracellular cellulase and xylanase from 4 selected different species, such as enzyme activity and stability by pH, temperature and metal ions, for application into enzymatic deinking system. The optimal temperature and pH for enzyme activity of Bacillus pumilus I, B. subtilis I, B. pumilus II and B. subtilis II were mainly $40{\sim}60^{\circ}C$ and pH $6.0{\sim}7.0$, respectively. Certain metal ions, calcium and cobalt, elevated enzyme activity, even though there were different results of enzyme activities based on various metal ions in 4 different species. With these results we suggest that enzymatic deinking system should be proceed at $50^{\circ}C$ with neutral pH condition.
