One-step purification and characterization of an intracellular β-glucosidase from Metschnikowia pulcherrima

Abstract: A collection of 60 non-Saccharomyces yeasts isolated from grape musts in Uruguayan vineyards was screened for beta-glucosidase activity and Metschnikowia pulcherrima was the best source of this enzyme activity. Its major beta-glucosidase was successfully purified to homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography on amino-agarose gel. The enzyme exhibited an optimum catalytic activity at 50 degrees C and pH 4.5 and was active against (1 --> 4)-beta and (1 --> 2)-beta glycosidic linkages. In spite of preserving 100%… Show more

“…This is coincident with previous reports that ethanol at concentrations of 4%, 8% and 10% led to an enhancement of βG activity, while enzyme activity decreased sharply at even higher concentrations Barbagallo et al, 2004aBarbagallo et al, , 2004bGrimaldi et al, 2005b;González-Pombo et al, 2008). The enhancement behaviour of ethanol at low concentrations could be ascribed to the glycosyl transferase activity of βG (Pemberton et al, 1980;Barbagallo et al, 2004b).…”

“…1B) of the enzyme decreased at pH 3.5 compared with that at pH 5.0. This could be explained by previous reports that the optimum pH of βG was around 5.0 (Spagna et al, 1998;Barbagallo et al, 2004a;González-Pombo et al, 2008;Michlmayr et al, 2010a), notwithstanding that an optimum pH of 3.8 has also been reported (Grimaldi et al, 2005b). In addition, at a winelike pH of 3.5, whole cells of strain SD-2a had the highest activity under temperatures of 30, 40 and 50°C (Fig.…”

“…In fact, during crushing, oleuropein, demethyloleuropein and ligstroside present in the fruit are hydrolysed by action of endogenous b-glucosidases leading to the formation of secoiridoids aglycons such as 3,4-DHPEA-EDA, p-HPEA-EDA, ligstroside aglycone ( p-HPEA-EA) and 3,4-DHPEA-EA [2,[78][79][80]. It is admitted that mechanical crushers are more effective in the extraction of phenolic compounds than traditional stone mills [81].…”

“…4). Similarly, β-glucosidase from X. regalis, Lycoperdon pyriforme, A. niger, Metschnikowia pulcherrima, exhibited the maximum activity at pH 5.0 and the least activity at pH 9.0 and 4.0 [20,33,34,35] . Purified form of β-glucosidases of Volvareilla volvacea displayed a broad pH optimum between 6.2 to 7.4 for β-glucosidase I and 5.4 -6.6 for β-glucosidase II [36] .…”
