The xylanase from alkali-tolerant Bacillus sp. YA-14 was purified to homogeneity by CM-cellulose, Sephadex G-50, and hydroxyapatite column chromatographies. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 20, 000 Da by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purified enzyme slightly hydrolyzed carboxymethyl cellulose and Avicel, but did not hydrolyze soluble starch, dextran, pullulan, and ${\rho}-nitrophenyl-{\beta}$-D-xylopyranoside. The maximum degree of hydrolysis by enzyme for birchwood xylan and oat spelts xylan were 47 and 40%, respectively. The Michaelis constants for birchwood xylan and oat spelts xylan were calculated to be 3.03 mg/ml and 5.0 mg/ml, respectively. The activity of the xylanase was inhibited reversibly by $HgCl_2$, and showed competitive inhibition by N-bromosuccinimide, which probably indicates the involvement of tryptophan residue in the active center of the enzyme. The Xylanase was identified to be xylose-producing endo-type xylanase and did not show the enzymatic activities which cleave the branch point of the xylan structure.

알칼리성 xylanase를 생산하는 균주를 토양으로부터 분리한 후 동정을 실시한 결과 Bacillus alcaiophilus으로 판명되었다. B. alcalophilus AX2000으로 명명한 본 균주는 pH 10.5에서 생육이 가장 좋았으며 효소활성도 가장 높았고 배지 중에 탄소원과 질소원으로서 0.5%(w/v) birchwood xylan과 0.5%(w/v) polypeptone/yeast extract를 각각 사용하였을 경우에 최대의 xylanase생산성을 나타내었다. Xylanase의 생합성근 glucose에 의한 catabolite repression을 받았으며 고농도의 xylose에 의해 효소의 생합성이 저해되었다. 조효소의 최적활성은 pH 10과 $50^{\circ}C$에서 나타났으며, pH 5에서 11까지의 넓은 pH범위에서 활성이 안정하게 유지되었고 효소의 열 안정성은 20~$60^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 처리시 90%이상의 잔존활성을 나타내었다.

Adsorption of xylans extracted from birchwood and oat spelt on Hw-BKP were analyzed using HPLC. The effect of xylan adsorption on paper properties such as tensile, tear index and brightness was also investigated. The constituents of xylan was analyzed with HPLC after hydrolysis with dilute sulfuric acid. It was shown that xylose was the major constituent and small amounts of glucose and galactose were contained in the xylan samples. Adsorption of xylan on hardwood fibers was evaluated using acid hydrolysis and HPLC techniques. Results showed that the adsorption of negatively charged xylan on the fiber surface was negligible probably because electrostatic repulsion between these two materials. Pretreatment of the fiber with alum increased xylan adsorption. The amount of adsorption increased up to 30 mg/g. With the increase of xylan adsorption both tensile and tear strength of the handsheet increased suggesting xylan can be a very effective strength agents for papermaking. Brightness of the handsheets decreased, however, with the use of xylan.

농산폐자원으로부터 기능성물질인 xylooligo당을 생산하기 위해서 내열성 균주인 S. thermocyaneoviolaceus가 생산하는 xylanase의 생산최적조건을 검토한 결과 0.8% 밀기울, 0.06% yeast extract, 0.06% bactopeptone, 0.05% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, 0.005% $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, 0.05% $KH_2PO_4$ 및 0.2% $K_2HPO_4$를 함유한 배지(pH7.0)에서 $50^{\circ}C$, 24시간 배양시 최고효소활성(2.47 unit/ml)의 배양상징액을 얻을 수 있었다. 효소의 최적반응조건은 pH5.5, $65^{\circ}C$였다. 또한 pH안정성을 조사한 결과 pH 4.5~9.5사이에서 $4^{\circ}C$에서 12시간후에도 80% 이상의 효소활성을 유지하였고, 열 안정성은 $60^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 처리후 94%이상의 효소활성을 유지하는 내열성이 있는 효소였다. 생산된 xylanase birchwood xylan 반응생성물을 TLC 및 HPLC로 확인해 본 결과, pH가 낮을수록(pH 5.0~6.0) xylobiose와 xylotriose및 소량의 xylose의 양이 증가하였고, pH가 높을수록(pH8.0~9.0) $X_4$이상의 각종 xylooligo당의 양이 상대적으로 증가하였다. 또한 24 시간후에는 xylan의 상대량이 25% 이하로 감소하면서 주분해산물로 xylobiose가 생산되었으며 xylotriose와 xylose 및 $X_4$ 이상의 각종 xylooligo당이 생산되었다.

We have screened 766 strains of fungi from the BIOTEC Culture Collection (BCC) for xylanases working in extreme pH and/or high temperature conditions, the so-called extreme xylanases. From a total number of 32 strains producing extreme xylanases, the strain BCC7928, identified by using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence of rRNA to be a Marasmius sp., was chosen for further characterization because of its high xylanolytic activity at temperature as high as $90^{\circ}C$. The crude enzyme possessed high thermostability and pH stability. Purification of this xylanase was carried out using an anion exchanger followed by hydrophobic interaction chromatography, yielding the enzyme with >90% homogeneity. The molecular mass of the enzyme was approximately 40 kDa. The purified enzyme retained broad working pH range of 4-8 and optimal temperature of $90^{\circ}C$. When using xylan from birchwood as substrate, it exhibits $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values of $2.6{\pm}0.6\;mg/ml$ and $428{\pm}26\;U/mg$, respectively. The enzyme rapidly hydrolysed xylans from birchwood, beechwood, and exhibited lower activity on xylan from wheatbran, or celluloses from carboxymethylcellulose and Avicel. The purified enzyme was highly stable at temperature ranges from 50 to $70^{\circ}C$. It retained 84% of its maximal activity after incubation in standard buffer containing 1% xylan substrate at $70^{\circ}C$ for 3 h. This thermostable xylanase should therefore be useful for several industrial applications, such as agricultural, food and biofuel.

왕겨를 탄소원으로 사용하여 증균 배양을 실시함으로써 국내 사찰에서 제조된 된장으로부터 xylan 분해능 우수한 균주를 분리하였다. 분리균 YB-1301은 DNA gyrase subunit B 유전자(gyrB)의 염기서열에 근거하여 Bacillus safensis로 동정되었다. B. safensis YB-1301을 밀기울 또는 여러 종류의 xylan들이 첨가된 배지에서 배양하였을 때 xylanase의 생산성이 급격하게 증가되었다. 특히 birchwood xylan이 첨가된 LB 배지에서 플라스크 배양을 하였을 때 최대 340 U/ml 이상의 xylanase 생산성을 보였다. Xylan이 첨가되지 않은 LB 배지에서는 매우 소량의 xylanase가 균의 성장과 연계되어 항시적으로 생산되지만, xylan이 첨가된 배지에서는 정지기 생육단계에서 xylanase의 생산이 크게 유도되었다. 더구나 xylanase 생합성은 가수분해되지 않은 xylan 보다 xylan의 효소적 가수분해 산물에 의해 더 빠르게 유도되었다. 또한 B. safensis YB-1301의 배양상등액에 존재하는 xylanase는 55℃와 pH 6.5−7.0의 반응조건에서 최대활성을 나타냈다.

A novel xylanase gene, Kxyn, was cloned from Kocuria sp. Mn22, a bacteria isolated from the deep sea of the east Pacific. Kxyn consists of 1,170 bp and encodes a protein of 390 amino acids that shows the highest identity (63%) with a xylanase from Thermohifida fusca YX. The mature protein with a molecular mass of approximately 40 kDa was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The recombinant Kxyn displayed its maximum activity at $55^{\circ}C$ and at pH 8.5. The $K_m,\;V_{max}$, and $k_{cat}$ values of Kxyn for birchwood xylan were 5.4 mg/ml, $272{\mu}mol/min{\cdot}mg$, and 185.1/s, respectively. Kxyn hydrolyzed birchwood xylan to produce xylobiose and xylotriose as the predominant products. The activity of Kxyn was not affected by $Ca^{2+},\;Mg^{2+},\;Na^+,\;K^+$, ${\beta}$-mercaptoethanol, DTT, or SDS, but was strongly inhibited by $Hg^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},Zn^{2+}$, and $Pb^{2+}$. It was stable over a wide pH range, retaining more than 80% activity after overnight incubation at pH 7.5-12. Kxyn is a cellulase-free xylanase. Therefore, these properties make it a candidate for various industrial applications.

Xylans are polysaccharides present in large amounts in cell walls of land plants. However, during kraft cooking, a high portion of hemicelluloses including xylans are dissolved in the cooking liquor. In the current trend for a more effective utilization of biomass, attention has been paid to the exploitation of xylans as strength-enhancing additives for paper. It is believed that surface xylan adds flexibility to the cell wall/fiber surface, resulting in stronger fiber-fiber joints or greater contact area between the fibers. Accordingly, there is proposal for a new pulping process involving the extraction of xylan prior to pulping, followed by their re-adsorption on the unbleached pulp. A suitable bleaching process should be employed then, which ought to does not only improve the brightness of the pulp, but also remain the effect of the adsorption of xylan on pulp fibers. The objective of this research was to investigate the impact of hydrogen peroxide bleaching on the properties of unbleached hardwood kraft pulp pretreated with birchwood xylan by measuring optical properties (brightness, post color number, opacity) as well as physical properties (tensile index, tearing index, bulk) of handsheets made from the bleached pulp. In the meantime, the influence of process variables of peroxide bleaching including bleaching temperature, time, initial pH and $MgSO_4$ dosage were studied.

목재 저장소의 토양에서 분리된 호열성 세균인 Paenibacillus sp. DG-22로부터 xylanase를 생산하기 위한 배양조건을 최적화시키기 위해 연구를 수행하였다. Xylanase생산은 세포의 생장과 연관된 양상을 나타내었다. Xylanase 활성은 배양상청액에서만 발견된 반면 $\beta-xylosidase$활성은 주로 세포와 결합되어 있었다. Xylanase활성의 형성은 자일란에 의해 유도되었고 포도당과 자일로스에 의해서 억제되었다. 여러 상업적 자일란을 이용하여 xylanase의 생산양상을 조사한 결과 0.1-0.5%의 birchwood xylan에서 가장 높은 생산율을 나타내었다. 조사된 여러 질소 원들 중 효모추출물이 xylanase생산을 위하여 최적이었다. xylanase의 활성은 $Co^{2+},\; Cu^{2+},\; Fe^{3+},\; Hg^{2+}\;$ 와$\; Mn^{2+}$ 이온들에 의하여 억제된 반면 $Ca^{2+},\; Mg^{2+},\; Ni^{2+},\; Zn^{2+}$ 이온들과 DTT에 의해서는 촉진되었다. 수은은 5 mM의 농도에서 xylanase 활성을 완전히 파괴하였다. 자일란 가수분해의 주된 산물은 자일로바이오스, 자일로트라이오스 그리고 자일로 올리고당이었고 이것은 이 효소가 endoxylanase라는 것을 나타낸다.
