Enzymatic pitch control in the kraft pulping and bleaching of Eucalyptus spp.Scheepers, Gerhardus C. (Gerhardus Coenraad) 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The extractive materials in wood often cause pitch problems in pulp mills. During pulping and
bleaching extractives are released from the wood and pulp and later stick to ceramic and metal
parts, forming pitch deposits. Pitch deposits impair both product quality and production rates. It
decreases the efficiency of pulp washing, screening, centrifugal cleaning, and refining, and can
disrupt many paper machine operations. The deposits also break loose from equipment and
cause spots in the final product. There are a few triggering mechanisms that induce pitch
deposition. Hydrodynamic or mechanical shear can destabilise the colloidal pitch emulsion,
causing pitch to agglomerate and deposits to form. Similarly, sudden temperature drops and/or
pH shocks and/or the introduction of water hardness ions from fresh water inlets or showers can
also cause pitch deposits by destabilising the colloidal pitch emulsion. Inorganic salts, such as
calcium carbonate, can catalyse pitch deposition by acting as the building blocks for the sticky
pitch. Calcium ions in the white water can react with fatty acids, forming insoluble, sticky
calcium soaps. Triglycerides have also been shown to be a major contributor to pitch deposition
in kraft pulping and bleaching mills. It forms a sticky deposit to which less sticky particles
attach.
To attain an improved understanding of pitch problems associated with the kraft pulping and
bleaching of Eucalyptus spp., various analyses were done on wood- and pulp extractives and
pitch from a South African kraft pulp mill. High molecular weight compounds (involatile)
constituted a large portion of the extracts and pitch. Approximately 40% of volatile Eucalyptus
grandis extract was f3-sitosterol, with fatty acids (22.8%) and triglycerides (15.5%) also making
a substantial contribution. Fatty acid amides were a prominent fraction of pulp extracts from the
latter stages of bleaching. The amides constituted 38.3% and triglycerides 10.1% to total volatile
pitch deposits.
Lipases hydrolyse triglycerides and could therefore help to reduce pitch problems. Consequently
381 filamentous fungi isolated from indigenous and commercial forests in South Africa were
screened for lipase activity on tributyrin and Tween 80. Eight strains were selected and the
tributyrin and Tween 80 assays were repeated by monitoring lipase activity over a seven-day period. The selected strains were also assayed for their activity toward p-nitrophenyl palmitate.
Ophiostoma piliferum Cartapip 58™ and Phanerochaete chrysosporium BKM-F-1767, two
strains known for respectively their biodepitching and biopulping ability, were' used as controls.
A few of the strains compared well and even outperformed the control strains, indicating their
potential for use in pitch control.
The effect of pretreatment with the eight selected fungal strains on E. grandis wood- and pulp
extractives was determined. Cartapip 58™ and P. chrysosporium BKM-F-1767 were used as
control strains. Several of the strains compared well to the control strains in their ability to
reduce the triglyceride content of wood extract. The South African isolate, white-rot fungus
Phanerochaete psuedomagnoliae nom. prov., reduced triglyceride content significantly.
Consequently it can act as an agent for both biopulping and biodepitching. The treated wood
samples had a lower triglyceride content than the sterile controls. Consequently more
triglycerides would be released into process waters by the sterile controls than the treated
samples. The effect of commerciallipases on deposited brown stock pulp extract was also
evaluated. The lipases did not reduce the triglyceride content of the deposited extract. The
addition of lipases in pulping and bleaching processes would therefore not affect already
deposited pitch. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die ekstrakstowwe van hout veroorsaak dikwels 'n neerslag tydens verpulping. Gedurende
verpulping en bleiking kom ekstrakstowwe van die hout enpulp vry en kleef aan keramiek- en
metaalonderdele. Gevolglik benadeel dié neerslag produkkwaliteit en produksietempo. Dit
verlaag die effektiwiteit van pulpwas, sifting, sentrifugale skoonmaakprosesse en suiwering, en
kan die werkverrigting van papiermasjiene ontwrig. Die neerslag kan ook later los breek en
kolletjies op die finale produk veroorsaak. Verskeie meganismes kan die neerslag veroorsaak.
Hidrodinamiese of meganiese wrywing kan die kolloïdale ekstrakstofemulsie destabiliseer en
sodoende die ekstrakstof laat konglomereer en neerslaan. Op soortgelyke wyse veroorsaak
skielike temperatuurverlaging en/of pH-skokke en/of die toevoeging van ione in varswater om
waterhardheid te beheer ook die neerslag deur die kolloïdale ekstrakstofemulsie te destabiliseer.
Anorganiese sout soos kalsiumkarbonaat kan neerslagvorming kataliseer omdat dit optree as
bousteen vir die klewerige, sementagtige ekstrakstowwe. Kalsiumione in die proseswater kan
ook reageer met vetsure om onoplosbare, klewerige kalsiumsepe te vorm. Dit is bewys dat
trigliseriede een van die hoofoorsake is in die vorming van die neerslag tydens kraft verpulpingen
bleikingprosesse.
Om die neerslagreaksie wat met die kraft verpulping en bleiking van Eucalyptus spp. geassosieer
word, beter te verstaan, is verskeie analises op hout- en pulpekstrakte asook die neerslag van 'n
Suid-Afrikaanse kraft verpulpingsaanleg uitgevoer. Hoë molekulêre massa (nie-vlugtige)
stowwe het 'n groot gedeelte van die ekstrakte en neerslag uitgemaak. Ongeveer 40% van die
vlugtige Eucalyptus grand is ekstrak bestaan uit ~-sitosterol met vet sure (22.8%) en trigliseriede
(15.5%) wat ook aansienlike bydraes lewer. Vetsuuramiede verteenwoordig 'n beduidende
komponent van pulpekstrak by die laaste stadiums van bleiking. Die amiede het 38.3% en
trigliseriede 10.1%tot die vlugtige fraksie van die neerslag bygedra.
Lipases hidroliseer trigliseriede en kan dus help om neerslagprobleme te voorkom. Gevolglik is
381 filamentagtige fungi geïsoleer uit inheemse en kommersiële woude van Suid-Afrika en hul
lipase-aktiwiteit op tributyrin en Tween 80 geëvalueer. Agt rasse is geselekteer en die tributyrin
en Tween 80 toetse is herhaal deur lipase-aktiwiteit oor 'n sewe-dag periode te monitor. Die
geselekteerde rasse is ook getoets vir lipase-aktiwiteit met p-nitrofenielpalmitaat. Ophiostoma piliferum Cartapip 58™ en Phanerochaete chrysosporium BKM-F-1767, twee rasse wat
daarvoor bekend staan vir onderskeidelik hul vermoë om houtekstrakstowwe te verminder en te
bioverpulp, is as kontroles gebruik. 'n Paar van die geselekteerde rasse het goed vergelyk en
selfs beter presteer as die kontrolerasse; 'n aanduiding van hul potensiaal om neerslagreaksies te
beheer.
Die effek van voorafbehandeling met die agt geselekteerde fungi rasse op E. grandis hout- en
pulpekstrak is vasgestel. Cartapip 58™ en P. chrysosporium BKM-F-1767 is gebruik as
kontrolerasse. Verskeie rasse het goed vergelyk met die kontrolerasse in hul vermoë om die
trigliseriedinhoud van die houtekstrak te verlaag. Die Suid-Afrikaanse isolaat,
witverrottingswam Phanerochaete pseudomagnoliae nom. prov., het ook die trigliseried inhoud
beduidend verminder. Gevolglik sou dit as 'n middel kon dien vir beide neerslagvoorkoming en
bioverpulping. Die trigliseriedinhoud van die behandelde monsters was laer as dié van steriele
kontroles. Gevolglik sal meer trigliseriede in proseswater vrygestel word deur die steriele
kontroles as die behandelde monsters. Die effek van kommersiële lipases op ongebleikte kraft
pulpekstrakneerslag is ook geëvalueer. Omdat lipases nie die trigliseriedinhoud van die neerslag
kon verlaag nie sal die gebruik van lipases dus nie die ekstrakstofneerslag in verpulpings- en
bleikingsprosesse beïnvloed nie.

Devido à escassez do coalho tradicional de origem animal, proteases coagulantes microbianas estão sendo pesquisadas como substitutos. O coalho apresenta duas ações hidrolíticas sobre a caseína que caracterizam sua adequação como um bom coagulante, que são a atividade coagulante e a proteolítica. Quanto maior a razão entre coagulante / proteolítica (AC/AP), melhor o coagulante. O presente trabalho objetivou estudar a produção e caracterização da protease coagulante produzida pelo fungo termofilico Thermomucor indicae-seudaticae N31 via fermentação submersa. As condições de produção estudadas foram: natureza e concentração da fonte de carbono e da solução salina, períodos de incubação e velocidade de agitação. Após a produção foi feita a caracterização físico- química que consistiu em determinar as condições de atuações ótimas da enzima. A partir dos resultados, observou-se que a melhor composição no meio fermentativo foi: 4 % de farelo de trigo, 0,3 % de solução salina, 72 horas de incubação a 45 °C e 150 rpm de agitação. Nestas condições os valores da atividade coagulante e da razão AC/AP foram 60,5 U/mL e 510, respectivamente. A enzima coagulante apresentou as características: pH e temperatura ótimos foram 5,5 e 65 °C, respectivamente; pH e temperatura de estabilidade foram 3,5 – 5,0 (retendo cerca de 80 % da atividade depois de 24 horas à temperatura ambiente) e até 60 °C (após uma hora na ausência de substrato). O conjunto dos resultados sugere a conclusão que a protease coagulante é promissora do ponto de vista tecnológico como substituto do coalho animal, principalmente, devido à sua alta especificidade representada pelo elevado valor da razão / Proteases are one of the most important industrial enzymes and one of its main applications is in the dairy industry for the production of cheese. Due to the scarcity of renin bovine, microbial coagulants proteases are being researched as a substitute. The rennet has two hydrolytic action on casein featuring its suitability as a good coagulant, which are the milk-clotting and proteolytic activity. The higher the ratio milk-clotting / proteolytic (MCA/PA), the better the coagulant. The present study investigated the production and characterization of coagulant protease produced by thermophilic fungus Thermomucor indicae-seudaticae N31 on submerged fermentation. The production conditions were: nature and concentration of the carbon source and saline, incubation and agitation speed. After production was performed physicochemical characterization that determined the conditions optimal of the enzyme. From the results, it was observed that the best composition of the fermentative medium was: 4 % wheat bran, 0,3 % saline, 72 hours of incubation at 45 °C and 150 rpm agitation. In these conditions the values of milk-clotting activity and the ratio MCA/PA were 60,5 U/mL and 510, respectively. The clotting enzyme had the characteristics: optimum of pH and temperature were 5,5 and 65 °C, respectively, pH and temperature of stability were 3,5 – 5,0 (retaining approximately 80 % of activity 24 hours at temperature environment) and even 60 °C (after one hour in the absence of substrate). The group of results showed that coagulant protease is promising technological point of view as a substitute for animal rennet, mainly due to their high specificity shown by the high value of the ratio

A recalcitrância da lignocelulose para a degradação enzimática e o custo elevado de enzimas hidrolíticas necessárias para a despolimerização de polissacarídeos encontrados na parede celular da planta são barreiras significativas para a produção em larga escala e para a comercialização de biocombustíveis e bioprodutos derivados da biomassa vegetal. A fim de aumentar rapidamente a produção de biocombustíveis celulósicos e bioprodutos, existe a necessidade de desenvolver coquetéis enzimáticos mais eficientes e de menor custo para a conversão de biomassa em açúcares fermentáveis. Nesse contexto, o estudo de enzimas degradadoras da parede celular é essencial. No presente trabalho a enzima endo-1,4-?-D-glucanase de Aspergillus terreus (ATEG_09894) foi clonada para expressão em A. nidulans. O teste de expressão mostrou a expressão solúvel da proteína. Sua identidade foi confirmada por espectrometria de massas. O pH ótimo e a temperatura ótima para sua atividade enzimática foram de 5,0 e 55ºC, respectivamente. A desnaturação térmica mostrou que a partir de 60ºC a enzima começa a perder estrutura. Interessantemente a enzima apresenta atividades ?-glucanase e xiloglucanase, tendo preferência por ?-glucano.

The recalcitrance of lignocellulose to enzymatic degradation and the high cost of hydrolytic enzymes necessary for the depolymerization of polysaccharides found in plant cell wall are significant barriers to large-scale production and commercialization of biofuels and bioproducts derived from plant biomass. In order to rapidly increase the production of biofuel and byproducts cellulosic, a need exists to develop more efficient and lower cost enzymatic cocktails for the conversion of biomass into fermentable sugars. In this context, the study of cell wall degrading enzymes is essential. In this work the enzyme endo-1,4-?-D-glucanase from Aspergillus terreus (ATEG_09894) was cloned for expression in A. nidulans. The expression test showed the expression of a soluble protein. Its identity was confirmed by mass spectrometry. The optimum pH and optimum temperature for the enzyme activity were 5.0 and 55 ºC, respectively. The thermal denaturation showed that above 60 ºC the enzyme starts to lose structure. Interestingly, the enzyme has ?-glucanase and xiloglucanase activities, preferring ?-glucan. Structural characterization showed that ATEG_09894 was expressed correctly folded and the results of SEC and SAXS show that the protein is monomeric in solution and the model of its three dimensional structure indicates that the electrostatic surface molecule contributes to a stable monomer. The data presented in this study are important because they identify peculiarities of ATEG_09894, which acts in the degradation of biomass, suggest the determinants of its selectivity and enzymatic degradation presents, unusual, of ?-glucans and xyloglucans, promising feature for degradation of lignocellulosic material

Dentro deste contexto, para a melhora da qualidade da aguardente de cana-de-açúcar faz-se necessário pesquisas em aplicações tecnológicas e biotecnológicas que visem acentuar o sabor e o aroma, além do desenvolvimento de metodologias de analítica. Assim, neste trabalho foi analisado 21 variedades de cana-de-açúcar, sendo que na variedade SP813250 foi encontrado alta concentração do aldeído 2,6-decadienal, composto de aroma desagradável na produção de bebidas destiladas, e as variedades RB855536, RB987935 e RB975952 produziu grande diversidade e quantidade de voláteis favoráveis ao aroma de bebidas alcóolicas o que leva a inferir que estas variedades possam ser melhor indicadas para a produção de aguardente de cana e além disto, foi possível constatar que maior quantidade de voláteis foram obtidos na casca e nos nódulos da planta. Após a etapa de seleção variáveis para catálise enzimática foram indicadas pelo delineamento fatorial fracionado as seguintes condições: (i) o extrato do fungo Thermoascus aurantiacus, (ii) aplicação pós-fermentação alcoólica, (iii) Brix 16°, (iv) agitação de 200 rpm. Para a fase de otimização foram variados a concentração de extrato enzimático e tempo de aplicação assim, verificou-se aumento da concentração de terpenóides e norisoprenóides como limoneno, terpineol, isoeugenol, 4-alildimetoxibenzeno, α-ionona e linalol em função do tempo de hidrólise e da concentração de β-glicosidase. Nerolidol, 2,6,10,10-tetrametil-1-oxa-espiro-(4,5)-dec-6-eno e β-damascenona tiveram aumento... / The acceptance of liquor derives primarily numerous small concentrations of flavor compounds including higher alcohols (fuel oil), esters, aldehydes, acetals, acids, ketones, lactones, phenols volatile monoterpenes and norisoprenóides. Within this context, to improve the quality of sugar cane-sugar is necessary technological research and biotechnological applications aimed accentuate the flavor and aroma, and the development of analytical methodologies. Thus, this study was analyzed 21 varieties of cane sugar, and the variety SP813250 found high concentration of aldehyde 2,6-decadienal, unpleasant aroma compound in the production of distilled spirits, and the varieties RB855536, RB987935 and RB975952 produced great diversity and quantity of volatile friendly aroma of alcohol which leads to the inference that these varieties may be better suited for the production of sugar cane and in addition, it was found that greater amounts of volatiles were obtained from the bark and nodules of the plant. After the selection stage variables for enzymatic catalysis are indicated by fractional factorial design with the following conditions: (i) the extract of the fungus Thermoascus aurantiacus, (ii) applying post-alcoholic fermentation, (iii) 16° Brix, (iv) stirring 200 rpm. For the optimization phase were varied concentration of enzyme extract and application time thus found to increase the concentration of norisoprenóides as limonene and terpenoid, terpineol, isoeugenol, 4-alildimetoxibenzeno, α-ionone and linalool as a function of hydrolysis time and the concentration of β-glucosidase. Nerolidol, 2,6,10,10-tetramethyl-1-oxa-spiro-(4,5)-dec-6-ene and β-damascenone concentration had increased proportionately enzymatic activity leading...

Caracterização funcional e estrutural de uma β-glucanase GH12 de Aspergillus terreus /Dias, Bruno Augusto. January 2013 (has links)
Orientador: Eleni Gomes / Coorientador: Fábio Márcio Squina / Banca: Roberto da Silva / Banca: Henrique Ferreira / Banca: Leandro Cristante de Oliveira / Banca: André Ricardo de Lima Damásio / Resumo: A conversão enzimática dos polissacarídeos da biomassa é um fator chave no desenvolvimento de bioetanol de segunda geração. A recalcitrância da lignocelulose para a degradação enzimática e o custo elevado de enzimas hidrolíticas necessárias para a despolimerização de polissacarídeos encontrados na parede celular da planta são barreiras significativas para a produção em larga escala e para a comercialização de biocombustíveis e bioprodutos derivados da biomassa vegetal. A fim de aumentar rapidamente a produção de biocombustíveis celulósicos e bioprodutos, existe a necessidade de desenvolver coquetéis enzimáticos mais eficientes e de menor custo para a conversão de biomassa em açúcares fermentáveis. Nesse contexto, o estudo de enzimas degradadoras da parede celular é essencial. No presente trabalho a enzima endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase de Aspergillus terreus (ATEG_09894) foi clonada para expressão em A. nidulans. O teste de expressão mostrou a expressão solúvel da proteína. Sua identidade foi confirmada por espectrometria de massas. O pH ótimo e a temperatura ótima para sua atividade enzimática foram de 5,0 e 55ºC, respectivamente. A desnaturação térmica mostrou que a partir de 60ºC a enzima começa a perder estrutura. Interessantemente a enzima apresenta atividades β-glucanase e xiloglucanase, tendo preferência por β-glucano. A caracterização estrutural mostrou que ATEG_09894 foi expressa corretamente e os resultados de SEC e SAXS mostram que a proteína é monomérica em solução e o modelo de sua estrutura tridimensional indica que a superfície eletrostática da molécula contribui para um monômero estável. Os dados apresentados nesse trabalho são importantes pois identificam peculiaridades da enzima ATEG_09894, que atua na degradação da biomassa, sugerem os determinantes de sua seletividade enzimática e apresenta a degradação, não usual, de β-glucanos... / Abstract: The enzymatic conversion of polysaccharides from biomass is a key factor in the development of second generation bioethanol. The recalcitrance of lignocellulose to enzymatic degradation and the high cost of hydrolytic enzymes necessary for the depolymerization of polysaccharides found in plant cell wall are significant barriers to large-scale production and commercialization of biofuels and bioproducts derived from plant biomass. In order to rapidly increase the production of biofuel and byproducts cellulosic, a need exists to develop more efficient and lower cost enzymatic cocktails for the conversion of biomass into fermentable sugars. In this context, the study of cell wall degrading enzymes is essential. In this work the enzyme endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase from Aspergillus terreus (ATEG_09894) was cloned for expression in A. nidulans. The expression test showed the expression of a soluble protein. Its identity was confirmed by mass spectrometry. The optimum pH and optimum temperature for the enzyme activity were 5.0 and 55 ºC, respectively. The thermal denaturation showed that above 60 ºC the enzyme starts to lose structure. Interestingly, the enzyme has β-glucanase and xiloglucanase activities, preferring β-glucan. Structural characterization showed that ATEG_09894 was expressed correctly folded and the results of SEC and SAXS show that the protein is monomeric in solution and the model of its three dimensional structure indicates that the electrostatic surface molecule contributes to a stable monomer. The data presented in this study are important because they identify peculiarities of ATEG_09894, which acts in the degradation of biomass, suggest the determinants of its selectivity and enzymatic degradation presents, unusual, of β-glucans and xyloglucans, promising feature for degradation of lignocellulosic material / Doutor

Enzymatic recovery of rhodium(III) from aqueous solution and industrial effluent using sulphate reducing bacteria: role of a hydrogenase enzymeNgwenya, Nonhlanhla January 2005 (has links)
In an attempt to overcome the high maintenance and costs associated with traditional physico-chemical methods, much work is being done on the application of enzymes for the recovery of valuable metals from solutions and industrial effluents. One of the most widely studied enzymatic metal recovery systems uses hydrogenase enzymes, particularly from sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB). While it is known that hydrogenases from SRB mediate the reductive precipitation of metals, the mechanism of enzymatic reduction, however, is not yet fully understood. The main aim of the present study was to investigate the role of a hydrogenase enzyme in the removal of rhodium from both aqueous solution and industrial effluent. A quantitative analysis of the rate of removal of rhodium(III) by a resting SRB consortium under different initial rhodium and biomass concentrations, pH, temperature, presence and absence of SRB cells and electron donor, was studied. Rhodium speciation was found to be the main factor controlling the rate of removal of rhodium from solution. SRB cells were found to have a higher affinity for anionic rhodium species, as compared to both cationic and neutral species, which become abundant when speciation equilibrium was reached. Consequently, a pH-dependant rate of rhodium removal from solution was observed. The maximum SRB uptake capacity for rhodium was found to be 66 mg rhodium per g of resting SRB biomass. Electron microscopy studies revealed a time-dependant localization and distribution of rhodium precipitates, initially intracellularly and then extracellularly, suggesting the involvement of an enzymatic reductive precipitation process. A hydrogenase enzyme capable of reducing rhodium(III) from solution was isolated and purified by PEG, DEAE-Sephacel anion exchanger and Sephadex G200 gel exclusion. A distinct protein band with a molecular weight of 62kDa was obtained when the hydrogenase containing fractions were subjected to a 10% SDS-PAGE. Characterization studies indicated that the purified hydrogenase had an optimum pH and temperature of 8 and 40°C, respectively. A maximum of 88% of the initial rhodium in solution was removed when the purified hydrogenase was incubated under hydrogen. Due to the low pH of the industrial effluent (1.31), the enzymatic reduction of rhodium by the purified hydrogenase was greatly retarded. It was apparent that industrial effluent pretreatment was necessary before the application an enzymatic treatment method. In the present study, however, it has been established that SRB are good candidates for the enzymatic recovery of rhodium from both solution and effluent.
