Abstract
Bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass into value-added products relies on polysaccharides depolymerization by carbohydrate active enzymes. This work reports biochemical characterization of Paludibacter propionicigenes xylanase from GH10 (PpXyn10A) and its application for enzymatic xylooligosaccharides (XOS) production from commercial heteroxylans and liquor of hydrothermally pretreated corn cobs (PCC). PpXyn10A is tolerant to ethanol and NaCl, and releases xylobiose (X2) and xylotriose (X3) as the main hydrolytic products. The conversion rate of complex substrates into short XOS was approximately 30% for glucuronoxylan and 8.8% for rye arabinoxylan, after only 4 h; while for PCC, PpXyn10A greatly increased unbranched XOS yields. B. adolescentis fermentation with XOS from beechwood glucuronoxylan produced mainly acetic and lactic acids. Structural analysis shows that while the glycone region of PpXyn10A active site is well preserved, the aglycone region has aromatic interactions in the +2 subsite that may explain why PpXyn10A does not release xylose.
