클로닝된 Bacillus circulans ATCC21367 유래 cellulolytic xylanase 유전자(bglBC2)의 염기서열을 결정 분석하였다. 본 유전자는 1,224 bp의 407개 아미노산을 암호하는 open reading frame (ORF)으로 구성되어 있었으며 염기서열로부터 산출된 유전자의 분자량은 45 kDa으로 효소의 SDS-PAGE로부터 측정된 분자량과 일치하였다. ATG 개시 코돈의 9bp 위쪽에 Shine-Dalgarno (SD) 서열로 추정되는 5'-AAAGGAG-3' 서열이 확인되었고 그 상단에 promoter로 추정되는 -35 서열(TTTACA)과 -10 서열(TATACT)이 위치하고 있었으며, 이는 B. subtilis promoter consensus sequence와 유사하였다. 한편, 이 효소의 아미노산 서열은 이미 보고된 B. circulans KSM-N257의 alkaline $endo-\beta-1,4-glucanase$와는 97%, B. circulans WL-12의 $endo-\beta-1,3-1,4-glucanase$와는 75%, Bacillus sp. KSM-330의 $endo-\beta-1,4-glucanase$ (cellulase)와는 45%의 유사성을 나타내었다. 또한 bglBCS 염기서 열의 정보를 GenBank에 등록하였으며 등록번호는 Ar269256이다.

Our aim was to optimize the production of cellulase-free thermoactive xylanase by Aureobasidium pullulans CBS 135684 with statistical methodology based on experimental designs. Among eleven variables, the nutrient sources that had significant effect on xylanase production were corncob, $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, xylose, $KH_2PO_4$ and tween 80, identified by the initial screening method of Plackett-Burman. The optimum concentrations of these five components were subsequently investigated using response surface methodology. The optimal concentrations ($g{\cdot}l^{-1}$) for maximum production of xylanase were corncob, 39.0; $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, 3.0; xylose, 1.8; $KH_2PO_4$ 1.4; and tween 80, 1.4, respectively. An improved xylanase yield of $8.74{\pm}0.84U{\cdot}ml^{-1}$ was obtained with optimized medium which is 2.1-fold higher production than previously obtained results ($4.10{\pm}0.10U{\cdot}ml^{-1}$) after 48 h of cultivation. In addition, the xylanase production under optimal condition reached $10.09{\pm}0.27U{\cdot}ml^{-1}$ after 72 h of cultivation.

섬유소 자원의 효율적 이용을 위하여 강력한 xylan 분해효소 생산 세균을 분리 및 선발하였으며, 형태학적, 배양학적 생리학적 특성을 확인한 결과 Bacillus sp. N25로 동정하였다. 이 균주에 의해서 생산된 효소를 ammonium sulfate precipitation, DAEA-sephadex A-50, Sephadex G-100 column으로 부분 정제하여 얻은 효소의 열안정성은 $50^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 처리시 80의 역가가 잔존 했으며, pH 안정은 pH 6-8 범위에서 30'C에서 10시간 방치 후에도 안정했으며, cellulose 분해능력은 없었으며, $Hg^{2+}$, $Ag^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$에 의해 저해되었다. 그리고 최종분해산물은 주로 xylose이므로 exo-type xylanase로 추정된다.

A thermophilic Bacillus sp. strain KK-1 isolated from soil produced an extracellular xylanase. From the culture supernatant of Bacillus sp., the xylanase was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation and DEAE-Sephadex A-50 chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified xylanase was estimated to be 45 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel permeation chromatography. The apparent $K_m$ values for xylanase, using oat spelt xylan and birchwood xylan as substrates, were 7.1 mg/ml and 3.2 mg/ml, and $V_{max}$ values were $27.0\;{\mu}mol{\cdot}min^{-1}{\cdot}mg^{-1}$ and $29.0\;{\mu}mol{\cdot}min^{-1}{\cdot}mg^{-1}$, respectively. The xylanase hydrolyzed oat spelt xylan to mostly xylobiose, xylotriose, and xylose. The amino acid composition indicated that the xylanase contained high amounts of amino add residues of glutamic acid and glutamine (Glx) and aspartic acid and asparagine (Asx).

Ribonucleic acid interference (RNAi) inhibits the expression of target genes in a sequence-specific manner, and shows potential for gene knockdown in filamentous fungi, in which the locus-specific gene knockout occurs in low frequency. In this study, the function of the repressor of cellulase expression I (ACEI) was verified in Trichoderma koningii (T. koningii) YC01 through RNAi, and ace1-silenced strains with improved cellulase productivity were obtained. An expression cassette that transcribed the interfering double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) of ace1 was constructed and transformed into T. koningii, and the transformants, in which the expression of ace1 was successfully silenced, were selected. As a result of the ace1 gene silencing, the expression levels of the main cellulase and xylanase genes were elevated, and the enhanced production of total proteins, cellulase, and xylanase was observed in the cultivation. In addition, the down-regulation of ace1 resulted in an increasing expression of xyr1, but no clear variation in the expression of cre1, which suggested that ACEI acted as a repressor of the xyr1 transcription, but was not involved in the regulation of the cre1 expression. The results of this work indicate that ace1 is a valid target gene for enhancing enzyme production in T. koningii, and RNAi is an appropriate tool for improving the properties of industrial fungi.

Korean food waste, one of the abundantly available but environmentally problematic organic wastes in Korea, was utilized as solid-substrate by fungal strain Aspergillus niger ATcC 6275 for the production of enzymemixture containing amylase, cellulase and xylanase. The enzyme mixture can be used as high value-added animal feed. Solid-state fermentation method yielded a 84-fold enhancement in xylanase activity compared with submerged fermentation method. The effect of incubation period, incubation temperature, pH of medium, moisture content, inoculum size and enrichment of the medium with nitrogen and carbon sources were observed for optimal production of these enzymes The optimal amylase activity of 33.10 U/g, cellulase activity of 24.41 U/g, xylanase activity of 328.84 U/g were obtained at 8 days incubation with 50%(w/w) soy bean flake, with incubation temperature of $25^{\circ}C$, pH of 6.38, optimal moisture content of 55% and with inoculum size of $3.8{\times}10^6$spore/g. Enzyme activities were enhanced when ImM $CaSO_4$, 2% Malt extract and 2% galactose were added as mineral, nitrogen and carbon enrichment respectively.

To investigate the biodegradation pattern of rice straw, mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin components, by the isolate stran Bacillus subtilis $DO_4$, the change of cell population was observed on CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose), larch wood xylan and lignosulfonate as a carbon source respectively. Also, the transition pattern of enzyme activities of cellulase and xylanase and lignin contents was measured on rice straw and mixed substrate according to growth. The results in these experiments revealed that xylanase activity was first appeared and cellulase activity in the next, while lignin component was almost not changed through the culture period.

A cellulolytic and xylanolytic enzyme complex-producing alkalothermoanaerobacterium strain, Tepidimicrobium xylanilyticum BT14, is described. The cell was Grampositive, rod-shaped, and endospore-forming. Based on 16S rRNA gene analysis and various lines of biochemical and physiological properties, the strain BT14 is a new member of the genus Tepidimicrobium. The strain BT14 cells had the ability to bind to Avicel, xylan, and corn hull. The pH and temperature optima for growth were 9.0 and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The strain BT14 was able to use a variety of carbon sources. When the bacterium was grown on corn hulls under an anaerobic condition, a cellulolytic and xylanolytic enzyme complex was produced. Crude enzyme containing cellulase and xylanase of the strain BT14 was active in broad ranges of pH and temperature. The optimum conditions for cellulase and xylanase activities were pH 8.0 and 9.0 at $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crude enzyme had the ability to bind to Avicel and xylan. The analysis of native-PAGE and native-zymograms indicated the cellulosebinding protein showing both cellulase and xylanase activities, whereas SDS-PAGE zymograms showed 4 bands of cellulases and 5 bands of xylanases. Evidence of a cohesinlike amino acid sequence seemed to indicate that the protein complex shared a direct relationship with the cellulosome of Clostridium thermocellum. The crude enzyme from the strain BT14 showed effective degradation of plant biomass. When grown on corn hulls at pH 9.0 and $60^{\circ}C$ under anaerobic conditions, the strain BT14 produced ethanol and acetate as the main fermentation products.
