Item Caracterização de celulases e xilanases produzidas por Streptomyces sp. cultivado em resíduos lignocelulósicos(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2012-10-27) Cunha, Carolina Cândida de Queiroz Brito; Bataus, Luiz Artur Mendes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3739169267521003An actinomycete strain, isolated from cane sugar bagasse (CSB), identified as Streptomyces sp was selected for its ability to produce cellulases. The production of cellulases was analyzed by submerged fermentation by cultivation on minimal medium (MM) containing CSB, wheat bran (WB) or carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as carbon source, and yeast extract (YE) as nitrogen source. The results show that WB was the best inducer of CMCases (2.0 U.mL-1). Aiming to analyze the production of cellulases and xylanases kinetics, the isolate was inoculated in minimal medium containing 0.5% (w/v) WB and maintained for 12 days at 45°C under constant agitation of 180 rpm. The highest yield of Avicelase was observed after 264 h of cultivation (5.646 Uml-1), after 144 h for CMCase (3.872 Uml-1), after 144 h for FPase (0.0947 Uml-1) and after 288 h for Xylanase (92.40 Uml- 1). Culture supernatants with maximum activity of Avicelase, CMCase, Fpase and Xylanase were analyzed for optima pH and temperature of the respective enzymes. The highest enzyme activities were detected at pH 7.0 at 35°C for Avicelase, pH 4.5/75°C for CMCase, pH 5.5/45°Cfor FPase and pH 5.5/70°C for Xylanase. The enzymes retained more than 70% of the initial activity after 2 h incubation at 50°C. The profile proteins analyzed by zymogram demonstrated a set of secreted cellulases (37, 21 and 17 kDa) and xylanases (39, 21, 18 and 17 kDa) when grown on FT for 144 h. The saccharification assay with CSB as substrate showed that the enzyme complex was able to release 19% of glucose and 62.9% of xylose.Item Caracterização do gene ftsH de Streptomyces sp Y7(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2002-12-14) Paixão, Cinthia Ferreira da; Bataus, Luiz Artur Mendes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5637230378599476The actinomycets are Gram-positive bacterias, aerobic with rich DNA in G+C (larger than 60%) and immobile. They are found practically in all the environment, forming ramified filaments or hyphae that persist in the mycelium form. The Streptomyces constitutes 90% of the isolated actinomycets of the soils, in spite of they are also found in aquatic atmospheres and interior of some plants. They stand out for the diversity of production of hidrolytics enzymes and antibiotics, 70% of the know antibiotics are produced by those microorganisms. Aiming to clone genes with biotechnological interest, a genomic libraries of the Streptomyces sp Y7 isolated of the soil of Cerrado was constructed. After the analyses of the sequences of the genomics libraries of Streptomyces sp Y7, it was selected a plasmid named pFS8, that displayed similarity with ftsH genes. The ftsH gene encodes a metalloprotease ATPase and Zn+2 dependent, belongs to the AAA family (ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities). It is involved with several cellular functions such as secretory proteins export and degradation of transcriptional factors (sigma 32 and Lambda CII). The data of sequencing showed that the ftsH gene was incomplete. In order to characterize if the product of this gene showed biological activity, it was made tests to evaluate the functionality of the fusions proteins in an ftsH-negative E.coli strain AR3291. AR3291 cells transformed with this plasmid showed a general growth advantage upon the cells AR3291. The protein produced did not present toxicant effects for cells AR3289, which had normal ftsH gene. The truncated protein obtained was also analyzed to prediction of the structure “coiled-coil”, that is common to the other FtsH studied, and the results showed those truncated proteins did nor form “coiled-coil” structure. We also tested whether fusion proteins decreased or inhibited the defective transfer of citosolic proteins.
