Endo-cellulases are important to efficiently hydrolyze cellulose, and widely used in biotechnology. In this study, we overexpressed and characterized an endo-cellulase from Aspergillus nidulans. This endo-cellulase was successfully overexpressed in flasks and fermentor, and its concentration in fermentor reached 0.89 mg/mL. The optimal pH and temperature of the were 4.0 and 80 ℃ respectively, and it was very stable between pH 2.0 and 12.0. It was thermally stable below 60 ℃, whereas it was inactivated very quickly above 70 ℃. Its CMCase activity could be enhanced by Co²⁺, Mn²⁺ and Fe²⁺, whereas it was inhibited by Pb²⁺, Ni²⁺ and Cu²⁺. Therefore, this endo-cellulase exhibited good pH stability and thermostability below 60 ℃, and has the potential as commercial enzymes.
内切纤维素酶对于高效水解纤维素非常重要,并且在生物技术中被广泛应用。在本研究中,我们对构巢曲霉的一种内切纤维素酶进行了过表达及特性分析。该内切纤维素酶在摇瓶和发酵罐中均成功实现了过表达,其在发酵罐中的浓度达到了0.89 mg/mL。其最适pH和温度分别为4.0和80℃,在pH 2.0至12.0之间非常稳定。在60℃以下热稳定,而在70℃以上则很快失活。其羧甲基纤维素酶(CMCase)活性可被Co²⁺、Mn²⁺和Fe²⁺增强,而被Pb²⁺、Ni²⁺和Cu²⁺抑制。因此,这种内切纤维素酶在60℃以下表现出良好的pH稳定性和热稳定性,具有作为商业酶的潜力。
