Antimicrobial High Molecular Weight Pectin Polysaccharides Production from Diverse Citrus Peels Using a Novel PL10 Family Pectate Lyase
International journal of biological macromolecules(2023)
摘要
The discovery of environmentally friendly enzymes that can convert inexpensive and abundant citrus peel pectin into high value-added product is a potential avenue for the citrus peel application. In this study, a novel PL10-family pectate lyase (pelA) was characterized from marine bacterium Echinicola pacifica. PelA was a Ca2+ dependent pectate lyase whose activity was highest at pH 8 and 40 °C. It was capable of degrading polygalacturonic acid (PGA) and citrus peel pectin (CPP), but not apple peel pectin. Notably, PelA hydrolyzed PGA to high molecular weight polysaccharide (average molecular weight 111.4 kDa). Moreover, PelA was also able to degrade CPP from nine distinct citrus species into polysaccharides (average molecular weight ranging from 84.7 to 539.2 kDa) that showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis (88.8 %), Bacillus subtilis (99.8 %), Staphylococcus aureus (92.1 %), Escherichia coli (100.0 %) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (86.4 %). Considering the high market value of pectin in the food industry, PelA's capacity to convert citrus pectin into high molecular weight polysaccharides lays a foundation for its applications.
