Simultaneous enhancement of the beta-exo synergism and exo-exo synergism in Trichoderma reesei cellulase to increase the cellulose degrading capability.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Cellulase is the one of the largest contributors to the high production costs of the lignocellulose-based biorefineries. As the most widely used cellulase producer, Trichoderma reesei has two weaknesses, deficiencies in ?-glucosidase and cellobiohydrolase II. This work aimed at solving this problem by simultaneous enhancement of the beta-exo synergism and exo-exo synergism in T. reesei cellulase to increase the cellulose degrading capability, i.e. enhanced co-expression of the ?-glucosidase gene the cellobiohydrolase II gene of T. reesei. RESULTS:Enhanced co-expression of the ?-glucosidase gene and the cellobiohydrolase II gene in T. reesei using the strong promoter Pcbh1 was found successful in overcoming the two weaknesses. Filter paper activities of T. reesei cellulase were greatly elevated, which were 7.21?±?0.45 (E7, Aabgl1 and Trcbh2) and 7.69?±?0.42 (F6, Anbgl1 and Trcbh2) FPIU/mL. They were much higher than that of the parental strain Rut-C30, 2.45?±?0.36 FPIU/mL. Enzymatic hydrolysis yields were also improved, from 67.22?±?1.61% by Rut-C30 cellulase to 87.98?±?0.65% by E7 cellulase and 86.50?±?1.01% by F6 cellulase. The substrate loading for 1 g glucose release from SECS were decreased, from 2.9637 g SECS using Rut-C30 cellulase to 2.0291 g SECS using E7 cellulase and 2.0573 g SECS using F6 cellulase. As a result, the efficiency of the process from SECS to glucose was substantially improved. CONCLUSIONS:Enhanced co-expression of the ?-glucosidase gene and the cellobiohydrolase II gene in T. reesei using the strong promoter Pcbh1 in T. reesei was proven triumphal in the simultaneous enhancement of the beta-exo synergism and exo-exo synergism in T. reesei cellulase. This strategy also improved the cellulase production, enzymatic hydrolysis yield and the efficiency of the process from SECS to glucose in the context of on-site cellulase production. This work is a commendable attempt in the cellulase composition optimization at the transcriptional level.
