Heterologous expression and characterization of xylanase XynA from Geobacillus stearothermophilus and antioxidant activity of Xylo-oligosaccharides
The experiment aims to develop xylanase XynA and provide a new resource for feeding xylanase.The XynA of Geobacillus stearothermophilus was heterologous expressed in Pichia pastoris,the optimal fermentation conditions,enzymatic properties and antioxidant properties of the hydrolysis product Xylo-oligosaccharide(XOS)were studied.The results showed that the crude XynA with enzyme activity of about 33.7 U/mL could be produced after 96 h induced by 1.0%methanol concentration.The optimum pH value of XynA is 9.0,the optimum temperature is 65 ℃,moreover,XynA remains above 80%of the activity at pH value ranging from 5.0 to 10.5 and temperatures between 45 and 75℃.Thin-layer chromatography(TLC)analysis revealed that the main products of the hydrolysis of bagasse xylan by XynA were xylotriose and xylohexaose.The scavenging rate of DPPH free radical reached 72.04%and the scavenging rate of hydroxylradical reached 99.16%with 1 000 mg/L XOS.The study indicates that XynA exhibits robust activity and stability,efficiently hydrolyzing xylan to produce XOS,thereby facilitating its application in the feed industry.
