  • direct heterogeneous electron transfer reactions of Bacillus Halodurans bacterial blue multicopper oxidase
    Electroanalysis, 2008
    Co-Authors: Yan Wang, Sergey Shleev, M.a. Gorbacheva, Andreas Christenson, Dietmar Haltrich, Roland Ludwig, Tautgirdas Ruzgas, Lo Gorton
    Abstract:

    Direct electron transfer reactions of Bacillus Halodurans bacterial multicopper oxidase on bare spectrographic graphite, as well as bare and thiol-modified gold electrodes were studied using cyclic voltammetry, potentiometry, amperometry, and spectroelectrochemistry. The redox potential of the T1 site of the enzyme was measured using mediatorless redox titration and found to be 325 mV +/- 10 mV vs. NHE. From measurements with a mercaptopropionic acid-modified gold electrode under aerobic conditions a midpoint potential of 360 mV vs. NHE for the T2/T3 copper cluster is deduced. Differing from most other characterized laccases of fungal and plant origins this bacterial enzyme exhibits bioelectrocatalytic activity at neutral pH and tolerates high chloride concentrations (200 mM), conditions that usually strongly inhibit catalysis. Moreover, it has the very high affinity towards molecular oxygen both in solution and in the adsorbed state (K-M <= 50 mu M). (Less)

  • production of haloduracin by Bacillus Halodurans using solid state fermentation
    Biotechnology Letters, 2011
    Co-Authors: Abolghasem Danesh, Gashaw Mamo, Bo Mattiasson
    Abstract:

    Bacillus Halodurans was cultivated on wheat bran as a solid-state substrate and produced haloduracin, a bacteriocin, at about 245 AU per wheat bran. Supplementation of the bran with Lauria-Bertani broth decreased haloduracin production. However, production was stimulated by addition of Mg2SO4 and K2HPO4. The highest production was achieved at a wheat bran/moisture ratio of 1:1.8 and in the presence of 10% (w/w) Na2CO3. Under optimum conditions, the organism produced about 3,000 AU per gram dry bran.

  • Fusion of carbohydrate binding modules from Thermotoga neapolitana with a family 10 xylanase from Bacillus Halodurans S7
    Extremophiles, 2007
    Co-Authors: Gashaw Mamo, Rajni Hatti-kaul, Bo Mattiasson
    Abstract:

    Xylanase A of Thermotoga neapolitana contains binding domains both at the N- and C-terminal ends of the catalytic domain. In the N-terminal position it contains two carbohydrate-binding modules (CBM) which belong to family 22. These CBMs bind xylan but not to cellulose. The gene encoding the mature peptide of these CBMs was fused with an alkaline active GH10 xylanase from Bacillus Halodurans S7 and expressed in Escherichia coli . The (His)_6 tagged hybrid protein was purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography and characterized. Xylan binding by the chimeric protein was influenced by NaCl concentration and pH of the binding medium. Binding increased with increasing salt concentration up to 200 mM. Higher extent of binding was observed under acidic conditions. The fusion of the CBM structures enhanced the hydrolytic efficiency of the xylanase against insoluble xylan, but decreased the stability of the enzyme. The optimum temperature and pH for the activity of the xylanase did not change.

  • a thermostable alkaline active endo β 1 4 xylanase from Bacillus Halodurans s7 purification and characterization
    Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 2006
    Co-Authors: Gashaw Mamo, Rajni Hattikaul, Bo Mattiasson
    Abstract:

    A thermostable, alkaline active xylanase was purified to homogeneity from the culture supernatant of an alkaliphilic Bacillus Halodurans S7, which was isolated from a soda lake in the Ethiopian Rift Valley. The molecular weight and the pI of this enzyme were estimated to be around 43 kDa and 4.5, respectively. When assayed at 70 degrees C, it was optimally active at pH 9.0-9.5. The optimum temperature for the activity was 75 degrees C at pH 9 and 70 degrees C at pH 10. The enzyme was stable over a broad pH range and showed good thermal stability when incubated at 65 degrees C in pH 9 buffer. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by Mn2+. Partial inhibition was also observed in the presence of 5 mM Cu2+ Co2+ and EDTA. Inhibition by Hg2+ and dithiothreitol was insignificant. The enzyme was free from cellulase activity and degraded xylan in an endo-fashion. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. (Less)

  • cloning sequence analysis and expression of a gene encoding an endoxylanase from Bacillus Halodurans s7
    Molecular Biotechnology, 2006
    Co-Authors: Gashaw Mamo, Osvaldo Delgado, Bo Mattiasson, Alejandra Martinez, Rajni Hattikaul
    Abstract:

    The gene encoding an alkaline active xylanase of Bacillus Halodurans S7, containing an open reading frame of 1188 nucleotides encoding 396 amino acids, was cloned and expressed in Escherchia coli. On the basis of sequence similarity, possible −10 and −35, ribosome binding, and transcription terminator regions were identified. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence revealed that the protein was a single domain enzyme belonging to family 10 and designated as xyn 10A. The calculated molecular mass and isoelectric point (pI) of the mature peptide were 42.6 and 4.5 kDa, respectively. Xylanase activity expressed by the recombinant organism was detected in the cytoplasm, periplasm and the extracellular medium. In an 18-h old culture, about 39% of the xylanase was detected in the medium. The stability and activity profile of the recombinant xylanase was similar to the properties of the enzyme produced by the wild-type organism.

  • hydrogen peroxide degradation by immobilized cells of alkaliphilic Bacillus Halodurans
    Biocatalysis and Biotransformation, 2006
    Co-Authors: Kevin Raymond Oluoch, Francis Mulaa, Bo Mattiasson, Ulrika Welander, Maria M Andersson, Rajni Hattikaul
    Abstract:

    Whole cells of Bacillus Halodurans LBK 261 were used as a source of catalase for degradation of hydrogen peroxide. The organism, B. Halodurans grown at 55°C and pH 10, yielded a maximum catalase activity of 275 U g−1 (wet wt.) cells. The catalase in the whole cells was active over a broad range of pH with a maximum at pH 8–9. The enzyme was optimally active at 55°C, but had low stability above 40°C. The whole cell biocatalyst exhibited a Km of 6.6 mM for H2O2 and Vmax of 707 mM H2O2 min−1 g−1 wet wt. cells, and showed saturation kinetics at 50 mM H2O2. The cells were entrapped in calcium alginate and used for H2O2 degradation at pH 9 in batch and continuous mode. In the batch process, the immobilized preparation containing 1.5 g (wet wt.) cells could be recycled at least four times for complete degradation of the peroxide in 50 mL solution at 25°C. An excess of immobilized biocatalyst could be used in a continuous stirred tank reactor for an average of 9 days at temperatures upto 55°C, and in a packed bed...
