Abstract
  • Two strains (Oalpha and X2) of the hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus strain MT4 were selected and isolated for their ability to grow on xylan. Oalpha and X2, grown on media containing oat spelt xylan and birchwood xylan as the sole nutrient source, respectively, produced the same thermostable xylanase that was demonstrated to be inducible in xylan cultures. In an oat spelt medium, S. solfataricus Oalpha underwent interesting morphological changes in the cell envelope, exhibiting mobile appendages not present in the typical coccal shape. The enzyme was prevalently membrane associated and showed a molecular mass of approximately 57.0 kDa. It was also highly thermostable, with a half-life of 47 min at 100 degrees C, and exhibited an optimal temperature and pH of 90 degrees C and 7.0, respectively. Xylo-oligosaccharides were the enzymatic products of xylan hydrolysis, and the smallest degradation product was xylobiose, thus indicating that the enzyme was an endoxylanase. The enzyme was able to bind weakly to crystalline cellulose (Avicel) and more strongly to insoluble xylan in a substrate amount-and temperature-dependent manner. (literal)
