AB - In this study, the gene xynB encoding xylanase B, obtained from Aspergillus
niger AN-1 was cloned and efficiently expresed in E. coli BL21. The
full-length gene contained 658 bp and encoded a mature protein containing 225
amino acids. The purified, recombinant xylanase XYNB showed one band at about
25 kDa. The maximum yeild of the recombinant xylamase was 4.09x105
U g-1 which was higher than that obtained when Aspergillus niger
was solid state fermented. The optimal temperature of XYNB was 50°C and
recombinant enzyme displayed about 75% of peak activity in the temperature range
found in the body of animals to which the enzyme might be fed. The optimum pH
of XYNB was about pH 5.0 and the recombinant enzyme retained >80% enzyme
activity in the pH range found in the animal gastrointestinal tract where the
enzyme might take effect. These enzyme properties suggested that this enzyme
could be potentially useful in feed industry.
