Abstract
- New thermostable β-1,3-1,4-glucanase (lichenase) designated as Blg29 was expressed and purified from a locally isolated alkaliphilic bacteria Bacillus lehensis G1. The genome sequence of B. lehensis predicted an open reading frame of Blg29 with a deduced of 249 amino acids and a molecular weight of 28.99 kDa. The gene encoding for Blg29 was successfully amplified via PCR and subsequently expressed as a recombinant protein using the E. coli expression system. Recombinant Blg29 was produced as a soluble form and further purified via immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC). Based on biochemical characterization, recombinant Blg29 showed optimal activity at pH9 and temperature 60 °C respectively. This enzyme was stable for more than 2 h, incubated at 50 °C, and could withstand ∼50 % of its activity at 70 °C for an hour and a half. No significant effect on Blg29 was observed when incubated with metal ions except for a small increase with ion Ca <superscript>2+</superscript> . Blg29 showed high substrate activity towards lichenan where V <subscript>m</subscript> , K <subscript>m</subscript> , K <subscript>cat,</subscript> and k <subscript>cat</subscript> /K <subscript>m</subscript> values were 2040.82 μmolmin <superscript>‾1</superscript> mg <superscript>‾1</superscript> , 4.69 mg/mL, and 986.39 s‾ <superscript>1</superscript> and 210.32 mLs <superscript>‾1</superscript> mg‾ <superscript>1</superscript> respectively. The high thermostability and activity make this enzyme useable for a broad prospect in industry applications.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no competing interests.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
