A linhagem Cellulosimicrobium cellulans 191 foi utilizada para o estudo da produção de b-1,3 glucanases e quitinases e as linhagens B26 e C. cellulans 191 foram utilizadas para a produção de proteases, em meios de cultivo contendo diferentes indutores. Foram realizados planejamentos fatorias 23, e os fatores estudados foram: pH inicial, temperatura (oC) e agitação dos frascos. No planejamento experimental para a produção de b-1,3 glucanase foi verificado maior produção da enzima (0,64 U/mL) em meio de cultivo A composto por 2,0 g/L de (NH4)2SO4; 0,2 g/L de MgSO4.7H2O e 10 g/L de parede celular de levedura em tampão fosfato 0,2 M, pH 8,5, após 24 h de fermentação, a 33oC e 200 rpm. Nos planejamentos experimentais para a produção de protease pelas linhagens B26 e 191 foi verificado maior produção da enzima em meio de cultivo B composto por 2,0 g/L de (NH4)2SO4; 0,2 g/L de MgSO4.7H2O e 80 g/L de levedura seca utilizada como indutor em tampão fosfato 0,15 M, pH 6,5, após 30 h de fermentação a 20oC e 200 rpm, sendo obtido 5,01 U/mL e 4,25 U/mL, respectivamente. No planejamento experimental para a produção de quitinase foi verificado maior produção da enzima (7,06 U/mL) em meio de cultivo C composto por 4,0 g/L de extrato de levedura; 2,0 g/L de triptona; 4,0 g/L de MgSO4.7H2O; 1,2 g/L de KH2PO4; 2,8 g/L de K2HPO4 e 15 g/L de quitina neutralizada utilizada como indutor, com pH inicial de 5,5 após 72 h de fermentação a 25oC e 200 rpm. Todos os modelos obtidos foram preditivos e significativos a um nível de confiança de 95%. No estudo de produção das enzimas da linhagem C. cellulans 191 em fermentador de 5 L, a maior produção de b-1,3 glucanase, utilizando meio de cultivo A e 1,5 vvm e 3 vvm, foi respectivamente 0,32 U/mL e 0,72 U/mL, após 24 h de fermentação a 30oC. Na produção de protease em fermentador de 5 L, utilizando meio de cultivo B e 1,5 vvm foi obtido 1,87 U/mL e 2,34 U/mL, respectivamente, após 6 h e 30 h de fermentação a 30oC; enquanto que com 3 vvm, foi obtido 4,89 U/mL e 6,14 U/mL de protease após 6 h e 33 h de fermentação, a 30oC. Em fermentador de 5 L, a maior produção de quitinase em meio de cultivo C foi de 4,19 U/mL com 1,5 vvm após 168 h de fermentação e 4,38 U/mL de quitinase após 144 h de fermentação com 3 vvm, a 25oC. No estudo de produção de b-1,3 glucanases, proteases e quitinases da linhagem C. cellulans 191 em frascos agitados, em meios de cultivo A, B e C, foram produzidos respectivamente, 1,12 U/mL de b-1,3 glucanase; 4,2 U/mL de protease e 6,9 U/mL de quitinase. A b-1,3 glucanase (45 KDa) foi purificada 11,83 vezes com rendimento de 25% em resina de troca iônica DEAE-Sephadex A50. Na purificação das proteases em resina de troca iônica DEAE-Sephadex A50 foram obtidas três frações de proteases denominadas P1, P2 e P3. A fração P3 apresentou duas bandas de massas moleculares de 14 e 16 KDa em eletroforese SDS-PAGE. A quitinase (61 KDa) foi purificada cerca de 6,65 vezes com rendimento de 46,61% em resina de filtração em gel Sepharose CL4B200. A b-1,3 glucanase purificada apresentou atividade de lise de diversas leveduras e foi capaz de formar protoplastos da levedura Saccharomyces cerevisiae KL-88. O pré-tratamento das leveduras com protease P3 purificada não aumentou a lise das leveduras com a ß-1,3 glucanase. A quitinase purificada foi capaz de lisar células de algumas espécies de fungos em suspensão aquosa, mas não foi capaz de inibir, o crescimento dos fungos em placas de ágar batata dextrose. A preparação bruta de quitinase apresentou halo de inibição do crescimento de alguns fungos estudados. Os produtos formados pela reação da b-1,3 glucanase purificada sobre a laminarina e da protease purificada sobre a levedura seca apresentaram capacidade antioxidante / Abstract: The aim of this work was to study the production, purification and application of b-1,3 glucanases, proteases and chitinases. The strain Cellulosimicrobium cellulans 191 was used to study the production of b-1,3 glucanases and chitinases and strains B26 and C. cellulans 191 for the production of proteases, using culture media containing different inductors. 23 factorial experimental designs were performed and the factors studied were: initial pH, temperature (oC) and flask rotatory speed. In the experimental design for the production of b-1,3 glucanase, greater enzyme production (0.64 U/mL) was obtained in culture medium A containing 2.0 g/L (NH4)2SO4; 0.2 g/L MgSO4.7H2O and 10 g/L cell wall yeast in 0.2 M phosphate buffer, pH 8.5, after 24 h of fermentation at 33oC and 200 rpm. In the experimental design for the production of protease by strains B26 and 191, greater enzyme production was obtained in culture medium B containing 2.0 g/L (NH4)2SO4; 0.2 g/L de MgSO4.7H2O and 80 g/L dry yeast in 0.15 M phosphate buffer, pH 6.5, after 30 h of fermentation at 20oC and 200 rpm, with yields of 5.01 U/mL and 4.25 U/mL, respectively. In the experimental design for the production of chitinase, greater enzyme production (7.06 U/mL) was obtained in culture medium C containing 4.0 g/L yeast extract; 2.0 g/L tryptone; 4.0 g/L MgSO4.7H2O; 1.2 g/L KH2PO4; 2.8 g/L K2HPO4 and 15 g/L of neutralized chitin with an initial pH of 5.5, after 72 h of fermentation at 25oC and 200 rpm. All models obtained were predictive and significant at a confidence level of 95%. In the study on the production of enzymes from C. cellulans strain 191 in a 5 L fermenter, the highest productions of b-1,3 glucanase in medium A with 1.5 vvm and 3.0 vvm were 0.32 U/mL and 0.72 U/mL respectively, after 24 h of fermentation at 30oC. In the production of protease in a 5 L fermenter using culture medium B and 1.5 vvm, 1.87 U/mL and 2.34 U/mL were obtained after 6 h and 30 h respectively of fermentation at 30oC, whilst with 3 vvm, 4.89 U/mL and 6.14 U/mL of protease were obtained after 6 h and 33 h respectively of fermentation at 30oC. In a 5 L fermenter, the highest production of chitinase from C. cellulans strain 191 using 1.5 vvm was 4.19 U/mL after 168 h of fermentation, whilst with 3 vvm, the production was 4.38 U/mL of chitinase after 144 h of fermentation at 25oC. In the study on the production of b-1,3 glucanases, proteases and chitinases from C. cellulans strain 191 in shaken flasks and culture media A, B and C, 1.12 U/mL of b-1,3 glucanase; 4.2 U/mL of protease and 6.9 U/mL of chitinase were produced respectively. In the purification study, the b-1,3 glucanase (45 KDa) was purified 11.83 times with a yield of 25% using a DEAE-Sephadex A50 ion-exchange resin. In the purification of the proteases using the DEAE-Sephadex A50 ion-exchange resin, three protease fractions were obtained named P1, P2 and P3. Fraction P3 presented two proteins with molecular weights of 14 and 16 KDa in SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The chitinase (61 KDa) was purified about 6.65 times with a yield of 46.61% in a Sepharose CL4B200 gel filtration resin. The purified b-1,3 glucanase presented lysis activity against several yeasts and was able to form protoplasts from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae KL-88 yeast. Pre-treatment of the yeasts with the purified protease P3 did not increase cell lysis by the b-1,3 glucanase. The purified chitinase was able to lyse the cell walls of some fungal species in aqueous suspension, but was not able to inhibit the growth of these fungi on potato dextrose agar plates. The crude chitinase preparation presented growth inhibition halos for some of the fungi studied. The products formed from the reaction between the purified b-1,3 glucanase and laminarin and between the purified protease and the dry yeast presented antioxidant power / Doutorado / Doutor em Ciência de Alimentos

Phytohormones act as signals to regulate plant growth and development by modulation of gene expression in response to internal developmental cues or external environmental stimuli, such as light and pathogen infection. There are five major classes of phytohormones, viz. auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, ethylene and abscisic acid. Of these, cytokinins, 6N substituted adenine derivatives, are of special importance owing to their possible diverse roles in plant growth and development. They induce cell division, cell expansion in cotyledon, chloroplast and etioplast development, suppression of apical dominance and senescence, and differentiation of in vitro cultured cells. However, very little is known about the mechanism of cytokinin action at the molecular level. Cytokinins have been demonstrated to modulate the expression of genes coding for several enzymes including nitrate reductase, ribulose-l,5-bisphosphate carboxylase, RNA polymerase I, and pathogenesis-related (PR) enzymes, i.e. chitinases and β-1,3- glucanases. One of the important questions regarding cytokinin regulation of enzyme activities and/or the accumulation of their corresponding proteins and mRNAs is how the cytokinin signal is transduced. There is considerable evidence from earlier reports demonstrating that pathogens alter hormone physiology of the host plant and it has been proposed that the infection-associated enzyme changes might be mediated by phytohormones. In the present study, two PR enzymes, viz. cucumber chitinase and β-l,3-glucanase, have been chosen to examine the mode of regulation of their gene expression by cytokinins, including the identification of cytokinin signal transduction components. Plant chitinases and glucanases are important enzymes in plant defense mechanisms against fungal pathogens as they degrade the major fungal cell wall components, chitin and β-1,3-glucan, respectively. Besides their role in plant defense, they are known to be involved in diverse physiological and developmental processes, such as embryogenesis, seed germination and flower development, and are also developmentally and hormonally regulated. Initially, in order to study the effects of various cytokinins on chitinase and β-1,3-gIucanase enzyme activities and their gene expression, cotyledons excised from seven-day-old dark-grown cucumber seedlings were treated with water, and cytokinins, viz. benzyladenine, kinetin, zeatin and zeatin riboside. It was observed that chitinase and β-l,3-ghucanase enzyme activities and their transcripts were induced to varying extents following treatments of cotyledons with the cytokinins tested. However, a maximum increase in enzyme activities and their transcript levels was noticed in zeatin-treated cotyledons. Therefore, zeatin was used for further studies. The main objective of the present study was to investigate the cytokinin signal transduction mechanism involving the induction of expression of chitinase and β-1-3-glucanase. In order to obtain insights into the downstream components of the cytokinin-signaling pathway, effects of several agonists and antagonists of the signal transduction components on zeatin-induced chitinase and β-l,3-glucanase activities, and their protein and transcript levels were monitored by enzyme assay, by immunoblot analysis, and by northern analysis, respectively. Treatment of excised dark-grown cucumber cotyledons with staurosporine, a broad spectrum protein kinase inhibitor, reduced the zeatin-induced chitinase and β-l,3-glucanase enzyme activities and the accumulation of their proteins and transcripts. On the other hand, treatment with sodium fluoride, a general inhibitor of protein phosphatases, stimulated the basal chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase enzyme activities and their protein and transcript accumulation, whereas it had no effect on the zeatin-induced enzyme activities and their protein and transcript accumulation. These findings suggested that protein phosphorylation is critical in the cytokinin induction of expression of chitinase and β-l,3-glucanase. Since Ca2+ is known to be an important second messenger in several plant signal transduction pathways, the possible involvement of Ca2+ in the cytokinin-induced expression of chitinase andβ-l,3-glucanase was examined. The results of the present investigation showed that the chitinase and β-1,3-ghicanase activities and their proteins and transcripts were appreciably increased by exogenous CaCl2 treatment in control cotyledons. Treatment of cotyledons with zeatin plus CaCl2 did not result in a further increase in either these enzyme activities or their protein and transcript accumulation as compared to zeatin or CaCl2 treatment alone. The lack of additivity of zeatin plus CaCl2 treatment indicated a common mechanism of action of zeatin and Ca2+ in the induction of these enzyme activities and their gene expression. To test the occurrence of influx of extracellular Ca2+ by cytokinin, cotyledons were treated with the plasma membrane Ca2+ channel blocker, verapamil, and Ca2+ ionophore A23187. Verapamil treatment inhibited the zeatin-induced chitinase and β-1,3-ghicanase enzyme activities and their protein and transcript accumulation. An increase in the intracellular Ca2+ levels by means of Ca2+ ionophore treatment resulted in a significant increase in basal chitinase and β-l,3-glucanase activities and their protein and transcript accumulation. These results suggested that an influx of extracellular Ca2+ leading to increased levels of cytosolic Ca2+ is required for the cytokinin induction of expression of these enzymes. The correlation of chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase enzyme activities and their protein and transcript accumulation in the zeatin-treated cotyledons suggested that the cytokinin zeatin stimulates chitinase and β-l,3-glucanase accumulation at the mRNA level and that the increase in enzyme activities is due to an increase in the amount of the enzyme protein and not by the activation of the existing enzyme. Further, the effect of zeatin on both the enzyme activities and their transcript levels under conditions that inhibit protein synthesis was studied. Treatment of excised dark-grown cucumber cotyledons with cycloheximide, an inhibitor of protein synthesis, in the presence of zeatin, completely nullified the stimulatory effect of zeatin. These results indicated the requirement of cytokinin-induced enhanced concurrent protein synthesis in the observed stimulation of chitinase and β-l,3-glucanase enzyme activities as well as their transcript accumulation Ca2+ In an attempt to isolate the full length cucumber β-l,3-glucanase cDNA from a cucumber cDNA library, we isolated and sequenced one cDNA clone, which was 978 bp long and had a potential polyadenylation signal A ATA A starting 172 bases before the polyadenylation tail A deduced amino acid sequence of the cDNA, which was 242 amino acids in length, apparently encoded a partial β-amyrin synthase. Sequence comparison of the deduced partial amino acid sequence of cucumber β-amyrin synthase with other known plant β-amyrin synthase sequences available in databases revealed significant homologies to β-amyrin synthases from Panax, Pisum and Glycyrrhiza. Southern blot analysis indicated that there was only one β-amyrin synthase gene in the cucumber genome. RT-PCR analysis performed on total RNA isolated from zeatin- and salicylic acid-treated cotyledons using forward and reverse primers designed from the internal regions of the cDNA showed that the transcript levels of β-amyrin synthase were enhanced by both zeatin and salicylic acid. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that chitinase and β-l,3-glucanase accumulation is stimulated by exogenous cytokinin treatment of excised cucumber cotyledons, and this effect is correlated with the content of chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase transcripts as judged by northern analyses. Further, the findings reported in the thesis suggested that Ca2+ influx from extracellular space, protein phosphorylation by staurosporine-sensitive protein kinase(s) and concurrent protein synthesis are required for the signaling of cytokinin-induced expression of both these pathogenesis-related enzymes.

Research has been performed to have a better comprehension of molecular aspects of the biocontrol mechanisms performed by Trichoderma and to find isolates with high antagonistic potential against plant pathogens. In the present study the expression of mycoparasitism-related genes was performed T. asperellum T00 and T. harzianum ALL42 (Enzimologia group ICB/UFG fungal collection) that have great potential as biocontrol agent. Each chapter of this work refers to one of the species studied. In Chapter 1 T. asperellum isolate T00, known to produce high levels of cell wall degrading enzymes, has its β-1,3-glucanases enzymes and genes (tag83 and tag27) studied. The gene tag27 was cloned and characterized and codes to an 27kDa endo-β-1,3glucanase with and 285 aminoacids and 96% similar to a glucanases from T.atroviride. The enzyme was detected when T. asperellum was grown in Rhizoctonia solani or Sclerotinia sclerotiorum cell wall-containing media but not in Fusarium oxysporum cell wall-containing media. The tag83 and tag27 genes was repressed in media containing glucose as carbon source and upregulated in cell wall containing media and during plate confrontation tests with pathogenic fungi. Chapter 2 shows T. harzianum isolate ALL42 genes involved in mycoparasitism against R. solani or S. sclerotiorum detected using subtractive hybridization approach. T. harzianum was grown with R. solani or S. sclerotiorum cell wall as carbon source and the RNA used both as tester and driver in each of two subtractive library constructed. Sequencing analysis resulted in 47 genes related with growth in R. solani cell wall media and 114 genes related with growth in S. sclerotiorum cell wall media. To confirm the obtained data, 18 genes were tested by quantitative real time RT-PCR and 9 were differentially expressed in the same condition of the library they were detected. Five of these genes were also differentially expressed during plate confrontation assay with the respective pathogen, two of them expressed during contact with R. solani (cutinase and alginate lyase) and 3 during contact with S. sclerotiorum (hsp98, serin endopeptidase and a hypotetic gene). The results presented in this study provides additional information about the role of 1,3glucanase genes in mycoparasitism and of other genes related to antagonism against specific pathogens, providing helpful insights in the mechanism of biocontrol performed by Trichoderma. / Espécies do gênero Trichoderma são eficientes antagonistas de fungos fitopatogênicos, como as espécies Rhizoctonia, Sclerotinia e Fusarium, e são comercializados como agentes de controle biológico principalmente por sua característica de micoparasita. Muitos estudos têm sido feitos para compreender as bases moleculares dos mecanismos de biocontrole de Trichoderma e também para encontrar espécies com alto potencial de antagonismo contra fitopatógenos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a expressão de genes relacionados ao micoparasitismo de T. asperellum T00 e T. harzianum ALL42 (Enzimologia ICB/UFG) que possuem potencial para uso como agente de biocontrole. Este trabalho foi dividido em dois capítulos. O Capítulo 1 se refere ao fungo T. asperellum T00 e suas β-1,3-glicanases (TAG83 e TAG27) que degradam componentes da parede celular de fungos fitopatógenos. O gene tag27 codifica para uma endo-β-1,3glicanase de 27kDa que possui 285 resíduos de aminoácidos e apresentou 96% de similaridade com uma enzima de T. atroviride. A enzima foi secretada em meio de cultura contendo parede celular de Rhizoctonia solani e Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, mas não em meio com parede de Fusarium oxysporum. A expressão dos genes tag83 e tag27 foi reprimida na presença de glicose e ativada tanto na presença de parede celular dos fitopatógenos quanto durante o contato entre os fungos em placa. O Capítulo 2 trata do fungo T. harzianum isolado ALL42 e de genes identificados pela técnica de hibridização subtrativa relacionados especificamente ao biocontrole contra R. solani e S. sclerotiorum. Foram construídas duas bibliotecas subtrativas sendo que os RNAs utilizados como condição teste e controle da subtração foram obtidos de T. harzianum crescido em meio contendo parede celular de R. solani ou S. sclerotiorum. As bibliotecas foram sequenciadas resultando em 47 genes relacionados ao crescimento em meio com R. solani e 114 genes relacionados ao crescimento em meio com S. sclerotiorum. Dos 18 genes escolhidos para validação da biblioteca por RT-PCR em tempo real, 9 se mostraram diferencialmente expressos na condição correspondente à biblioteca em que foram identificados. Dentre estes, 5 genes se mostraram também diferencialmente expressos em experimento de confronto em placa, 2 deles mais expressos contra R. solani (cutinase e alginato liase) e 3 contra S. sclerotiorum (hsp98, serina endopeptidase e um de função hipotética). Os resultados obtidos com as duas linhagens fornecem informações adicionais sobre genes de β-1,3-glicanases, conhecidamente envolvidos no processo de micoparasitismo, e sobre genes relacionados ao antagonismo de patógenos específicos, além de contribuir para o conhecimento relacionado ao biocontrole realizado por fungos do gênero Trichoderma.

Estas glucanas apresentam baixa solubilidade em meio aquoso, sendo necessário fragmentá-las em moléculas de menor peso molecular. O Botryosphaeria rhodina MAMB-05 é um ascomiceto ligninolítico produtor de uma β-(1→3)(1→6)-glucana denominada botriosferana (EPS). Estudos preliminares demonstraram que o fungo Trichoderma harzianum Rifai é capaz de crescer em EPS como única fonte de carbono e de produzir β-glucanases específicas. As condições para a produção de -1,3-glucanases pelo T. harzianum Rifai em fermentador de bancada utilizando EPS como única fonte de carbono foram otimizadas através do uso de um planejamento fatorial e análise por superfície de resposta, o qual mostrou que a produção máxima de -1,3-glucanases ocorreu em 5 dias de cultivo, com pH inicial igual a 5,5 e com aeração de 1,5 vvm. As enzimas do complexo -glucanolítico extracelular foi parcialmente purificado e utilizado para a hidrólise de botriosferana, laminarina, paramilo e pustulana. Duas frações com atividade para -glucanase (F-I e F-II) foram obtidas a partir da cromatografia de filtração em gel, as quais apresentaram diferentes modos de ação sobre o botriosferana e a laminarina. O botriosferana foi hidrolisado em cerca de 66 % pela fração F-I e em 98 % pela fração F-II, em 30 min. Os produtos de hidrólise foram principalmente constituídos por gluco-oligossacarídeos (GP ≥ 4), e menor quantidade de glucose, di- e trissacarídeos. A ação enzimática das frações F-I e F-II sobre a laminarina resultaram em 15 % de conversão do polímero em glucose, enquanto a porcentagem de sacarificação foi totalmente diferente (70 % para F-I e 25 % para F-II). Em paramilo, ambas as frações promoveram a degradação de aproximadamente 20 % do polissacarídeo após 30 min, onde somente... / Fungal β-D-glucans presents a variety of biological response. These glucans presents low solubility in water and being necessary to obtain fragments with small molecular weight. A ligninolytic ascomyceteous Botryosphaeria rhodina MAMB-05 produces a (1→3)(1→6)-β-D-glucan named botryosphaeran (EPS). Preliminary studies verified that Trichoderma harzianum Rifai is able to grown on EPS as sole carbon source and secrete specific β-glucanases to act on this subtract. Conditions for -1,3-glucanase production by T. harzianum Rifai in bench-fermenter using EPS as sole carbon source were developed using a statistical factorial design, and analysis by response surface method, which showed maximal enzyme production at 5 days growth in a minimum Vogel salts medium, with initial pH 5.5 under 1.5 vvm aeration. A -glucanolytic extracellular complex was partially-purified and used to hydrolyze fungal botryosphaeran, algal laminarin, algal paramylon and the liquen pustulan. Two -glucanase fractions (F-I and F-II) were obtained by gel permeation chromatography, which presented different modes of attack on botryosphaeran and laminarin. Botryosphaeran was 66 % hydrolyzed by the F-I fraction, and 98 % by fraction F-II, within 30 min. The main products of hydrolysis were gluco-oligosaccharides (DP ≥ 4), and lower amounts of glucose, di- and tri-saccharides. The action of enzyme fractions I and II on laminarin resulted 15 % of conversion to glucose, while the percentage of saccharification was radically different (70 % for F-I and 25 % for F-II). On paramylon, both fractions promoted approximately 20 % degradation after 30 min, and only 0.5 % corresponded to gluco-oligosaccharides (DP ≥ 4).

Resumo: As β-glucanas fúngicas apresentam uma série de respostas biológicas. Estas glucanas apresentam baixa solubilidade em meio aquoso, sendo necessário fragmentá-las em moléculas de menor peso molecular. O Botryosphaeria rhodina MAMB-05 é um ascomiceto ligninolítico produtor de uma β-(1→3)(1→6)-glucana denominada botriosferana (EPS). Estudos preliminares demonstraram que o fungo Trichoderma harzianum Rifai é capaz de crescer em EPS como única fonte de carbono e de produzir β-glucanases específicas. As condições para a produção de -1,3-glucanases pelo T. harzianum Rifai em fermentador de bancada utilizando EPS como única fonte de carbono foram otimizadas através do uso de um planejamento fatorial e análise por superfície de resposta, o qual mostrou que a produção máxima de -1,3-glucanases ocorreu em 5 dias de cultivo, com pH inicial igual a 5,5 e com aeração de 1,5 vvm. As enzimas do complexo -glucanolítico extracelular foi parcialmente purificado e utilizado para a hidrólise de botriosferana, laminarina, paramilo e pustulana. Duas frações com atividade para -glucanase (F-I e F-II) foram obtidas a partir da cromatografia de filtração em gel, as quais apresentaram diferentes modos de ação sobre o botriosferana e a laminarina. O botriosferana foi hidrolisado em cerca de 66 % pela fração F-I e em 98 % pela fração F-II, em 30 min. Os produtos de hidrólise foram principalmente constituídos por gluco-oligossacarídeos (GP ≥ 4), e menor quantidade de glucose, di- e trissacarídeos. A ação enzimática das frações F-I e F-II sobre a laminarina resultaram em 15 % de conversão do polímero em glucose, enquanto a porcentagem de sacarificação foi totalmente diferente (70 % para F-I e 25 % para F-II). Em paramilo, ambas as frações promoveram a degradação de aproximadamente 20 % do polissacarídeo após 30 min, onde somente...

These glucans presents low solubility in water and being necessary to obtain fragments with small molecular weight. A ligninolytic ascomyceteous Botryosphaeria rhodina MAMB-05 produces a (1→3)(1→6)-β-D-glucan named botryosphaeran (EPS). Preliminary studies verified that Trichoderma harzianum Rifai is able to grown on EPS as sole carbon source and secrete specific β-glucanases to act on this subtract. Conditions for -1,3-glucanase production by T. harzianum Rifai in bench-fermenter using EPS as sole carbon source were developed using a statistical factorial design, and analysis by response surface method, which showed maximal enzyme production at 5 days growth in a minimum Vogel salts medium, with initial pH 5.5 under 1.5 vvm aeration. A -glucanolytic extracellular complex was partially-purified and used to hydrolyze fungal botryosphaeran, algal laminarin, algal paramylon and the liquen pustulan. Two -glucanase fractions (F-I and F-II) were obtained by gel permeation chromatography, which presented different modes of attack on botryosphaeran and laminarin. Botryosphaeran was 66 % hydrolyzed by the F-I fraction, and 98 % by fraction F-II, within 30 min. The main products of hydrolysis were gluco-oligosaccharides (DP ≥ 4), and lower amounts of glucose, di- and tri-saccharides. The action of enzyme fractions I and II on laminarin resulted 15 % of conversion to glucose, while the percentage of saccharification was radically different (70 % for F-I and 25 % for F-II). On paramylon, both fractions promoted approximately 20 % degradation after 30 min, and only 0.5 % corresponded to gluco-oligosaccharides (DP ≥ 4).
