Project description:We addressed the optimization of the xylanolytic activity in extracellular enzymatic extracts of Cellulomonas sp. B6 and C. fimi B-402 for their subsequent application in lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysis, by culture in several substrates. As demonstrated by secretomic profiling, wheat bran and waste paper resulted to be suitable inducers for the secretion of xylanases of Cellulomonas sp. B6 and C. fimi B-402, respectively. Both strains showed high xylanolytic activity in culture supernatant although Cellulomonas sp. B6 was the most efficient xylanolytic strain.
Project description:ABSTRACT Cellulomonas sp. PS-H5 was isolated from Sekinchan Beach in Selangor, Malaysia, using an ex situ cultivation method. The present work reports a high-quality draft annotated genome sequence of this strain and suggests its potential glycoside hydrolase enzymes for cellulose, hemicellulose, and starch degradations.
