The pectic enzymes of Aspergillus niger. A second exopolygalacturonase.

ABSTRACT: 1. A second exopolygalacturonase was separated from a mycelial extract of Aspergillus niger with a 265-fold purification and a recovery of 1%. 2. Unlike the first exopolygalacturonase this enzyme showed no requirement for metal activators, nor was it inhibited by chelating agents. 3. The two exopolygalacturonases were also distinguished by their pH optima and stability. 4. The enzyme progressively removed the terminal galacturonic residues from alpha-(1-->4)-linked galacturonide chains, converting digalacturonic acid, trigalacturonic acid and tetragalacturonic acid into galacturonic acid. Galacturonic acid was also released from pectic acid but complete digestion was not achieved.

Transcription profiling of Aspergillus niger grown in media containg different pectic substrates to study the pectinolytic system

Project description:To study the induction of the genes encoding known and putative enzymes from the pectinolytic system of A. niger, the transcriptional profiles of 58 selected known or putative pectinolytic genes were monitored by microarray experiments. For this purpose, A. niger was cultivated on the complex substrates, sugar beet pectin and polygalacturonic acid as primary carbon sources. Galacturonic acid, rhamnose and xylose were used to assess the effects on gene expression caused by simple well-defined carbon sources, representing the most abundant sugar residues present in the backbone of pectin. Fructose, as a strong repressor of the expression of genes that are under carbon catabolite regulation, and sorbitol, as a non-inducing sugar-like alcohol, which does not affect the carbon catabolite regulation mechanisms were selected as control substrates. Mycelia of A. niger were pregrown for 18 h on 2% fructose, transferred to medium containing the different pectic and control substrates, and sampled at four time points during 24 h of incubation.

The role of carbon starvation in the induction of enzymes that degrade plant-derived carbohydrates in Aspergillus niger

Project description:Fungi are an important source of enzymes for saccharification of plant polysaccharides and production of biofuels. Understanding of the regulation and induction of expression of genes encoding these enzymes is still incomplete. To explore the induction mechanism, we analysed the response of the industrially important fungus Aspergillus niger to wheat straw, with a focus on events occurring shortly after exposure to the substrate. RNA sequencing showed that over a third of the genes induced after 6 h of exposure to wheat straw were also induced during 6 h of carbon starvation, indicating that carbon starvation is probably an important factor in the early response to wheat straw. The up-regulation of the expression of a high number of genes encoding CAZymes that are active on plant-derived carbohydrates during early carbon starvation suggests that these enzymes could be involved in a scouting role during starvation, releasing inducing sugars from complex plant polysaccharides.
