Abstract

New thermostable beta-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 degrees C respectively. This enzyme was stable for more than 2 h, incubated at 50 degrees C, and could withstand similar to 50 % of its activity at 70 degrees 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 Ca2+. Blg29 showed high substrate activity towards lichenan where V-m, K-m, K-cat,K- and k(cat)/K-m values were 2040.82 mu molmin(-1)mg(-1), 4.69 mg/mL, and 986.39 s(-1) and 210.32 mLs(-1)mg(-1) respectively. The high thermostability and activity make this enzyme useable for a broad prospect in industry applications.
