Article Abstract
Aims: This study aimed to isolate and characterize thermostable xylanases from the thermophilic bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus CFH 71344, screened from Yunnan hot springs, for their potential in lignocellulosic biomass conversion and xylooligosaccharide (XOS) production.
Methods And Results: Two xylanases, Xyn2415 and Xyn2429, were heterologously expressed and biochemically characterized. Biochemical characterization revealed that enzyme Xyn2415 exhibited optimal activity at pH 9.0 and 70°C, while enzyme Xyn2429 showed optimal activity at pH 6.0 and 80°C. Both enzymes demonstrated significant thermostability, retaining considerable activity even after prolonged exposure to high temperatures. The kinetic parameters indicated that Xyn2429 had higher catalytic efficiency than Xyn2415. The enzymes also exhibited distinct substrate preferences and metal ion sensitivities. When applied to beechwood xylan hydrolysis, Xyn2415 and Xyn2429 produced different XOS profiles, with Xyn2415 preferentially generating short-chain XOS and Xyn2429 producing longer-chain XOS.
Conclusions: The coexistence of these enzymes in one bacterium highlights their adaptability to varying environmental conditions, offering potential for cost-effective and efficient industrial applications in lignocellulosic biorefining and prebiotic production.

Xylanases from glycoside hydrolases family 11 (GH11) are widely used due to their substrate selectivity and broad optimal pH range. With the increasing demands in industrial production, the development of xylanases with multiple stress resistances and high thermostability has become a research focus. We heterologously expressed and characterized a novel GH11 xylanase (HWxyn11) from Hortaea werneckii.

The genera and comprise thermophilic, spore-forming bacteria. The extraordinary heat resistance of their spores, together with their ability to form biofilms and produce thermostable enzymes, makes them a relevant cause of spoilage in shelf-stable, heat-treated products like dairy and canned foods. However, these same biological traits offer valuable opportunities for the food industry.

Industrial applications of xylanases in high-temperature settings are limited by enzyme instability. This study evaluated glycerol and phenolic compounds as modulators of the catalytic and structural properties of a recombinant endoxylanase (rMhXyn) expressed in . Glycerol (20% /) significantly improved thermostability (5-fold increase in half-life at 55 °C), decreased the activation energy for catalysis, and enhanced structural rigidity as evidenced by molecular dynamics simulations (reduced RMSD and Rg).

Thermostable cellulases and xylanases have broad acceptance in food, feed, paper and pulp, and bioconversion of lignocellulosics. Thermophilic fungi serve as an excellent source of thermostable enzymes. This study characterized four endo-β-1,4-glucanases (two glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 5 and two GH7 members) and four endo-β-1,4-xylanases (two GH10 and two GH11 members) from thermophilic fungus , along with one GH10 endo-β-1,4-xylanase each from thermophilic fungus and mesophilic fungus .
