Polysaccharide-degrading enzymes formed by three species of anaerobic rumen fungi grown on a range of carbohydrate substrates.

Abstract:

:The range of polysaccharide-degrading enzymes formed by three anaerobic rumen fungi (Neocallimastix patriciarum, Piromonas communis, and an unidentified isolate (F] was monitored following growth on seven mono-, di-, and poly-saccharide carbohydrate substrates. Enzymes capable of degrading a variety of alpha- and beta-glucans, beta-galactans, galactomannan, and hemicellulosic arabinoxylans were present in all three isolates. Although reducing saccharides were released from pectin, polygalacturonic acid was not degraded by the preparations. Enzyme activity was present in both the zoospore and vegetative stages of the life cycle and was also detected extracellularly in culture supernatants after vegetative growth. The specific activities of the polysaccharidases were affected by the growth substrate, being lowest in preparations grown on mono- and di-saccharides, whereas polysaccharidic growth substrates resulted in increased activity of the corresponding polysaccharidases. The enzymes were, however, formed after growth on all substrates. Oligomers and monosaccharides were produced as a result of polysaccharide breakdown by the unfractionated enzyme preparations. Studies on hemicellulose (arabinoxylan) breakdown by unfractionated vegetative preparations of the three isolates indicated that their modes of action, pH optima, substrate affinities, and response to potential inhibitors were similar.
