In this study, two endophytic xylanolytic bacteria, named M1 and M2, were isolated from surface sterilized Zea mays stern and leaf, respectively. Isolates were identified as Bacillus pumilus. Microorganisims showed different morphology on agar plates. Xylanase production level and profile varied between isolates, as well. Maximum xylanase production level of 188.0 ± 20.0 and 5.6 ± 1.1 U/ml were achieved by Bacillus pumilus M1 and Bacillus pumilus M2 in a liquid medium containing 3% corn cobs as a sole carbon source and inducer, respectively. Isolates produced very low level of cellulase in crude enzyme extract. B. pumilus M1 xylanase was partially characterized. Enzyme had a maximum activity at pH 8.0 and 65°C, seemed proper for pulp and paper industry, and required further characterization. In conclusion, this study indicated that inside part of Zea mays is a novel and good source for isolating xylanase producers. After detailed characterization, such enzymes could be used in various applications in paper and pulp, textile, food and feed industries.Key Words: Bacillus pumilus, endopyhte, plant, xylan, xylanase producers. Zea mays'dan Endofitik ve Ksilanolitik Bacillus pumilus Suş ları n ı n İzolasyonuÖz: Bu çal ışmada, yüzey sterilizasyonu yap ı lm ış Zea mays gövde ve yapraklar ı ndan, s ı ras ı ile M1 ve M2 olarak isimlendirilen iki tane endofitik ksilanolitik bakteri izole edilmi ştir. Izolatlar Bacillus pumilus olarak tan ı mlanm ıştı r. Mikroorganizmalar agar üzerinde farkl ı morfoloji sergilemi ştir. Izolatlar aras ı nda, ksilanaz üretim seviyesi ve profilinde de farkl ı l ı klar bulunmaktad ı r. İçinde %3 m ı s ı r koçan ı n ı tek karbon kaynağı olarak bulunduran s ı v ı besi yerinde, Bacillus pumilus Mi ve Bacillus pumilus M2 s ı ras ı ile maksimum ksilanaz aktivitesi olan 188.0 ± 20.0 ve 5.6 t 1.1 U/mi değ erlerine ula şabilmi ştir. İzolatlar, kaba fermentasyon özütünde çok dü ş ük miktarda selülaz üretmi ştir. B. pumilus M1 ksilanaz ı k ı smi karakterize edilmi ştir. Enzim pH 8.0 ve 65°C'de maksimum aktivite götermi ş , ka ğı t beyazlatma endüstrisine uygun görülmü ş ve ileri derecede karakterizasyona ihtiyaç duymu ştur. Sonuç olarak, bu çal ış ma Zea mays' ı n iç k ı sm ı n ı n, ksilanaz üreticilerinin izolasyonu için yeni ve iyi bir kaynak oldu ğ unu göstermi ştir. Detayl ı tan ı mlama ard ı ndan bu enzimler, ka ğı t, tekstil, g ı da ve yem endüstrisinde çe ş itli uygulamalarda değerlendirilebilmesi mümkündür.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
