AB  - Poly(γ-glutamic acid) (PGA), naturally produced by Bacillus species, is a biodegradable, non-toxic, biocompatible, and non-immunogenic negatively charged polymer. Due to its properties, it has found various applications in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. In this work, Bacillus subtilis 17B was selected as the best PGA producer among fifty wild-types Bacillus strains tested and characterized as a glutamate-independent producer. The production of PGA by the newly identified strain was optimized and increased tenfold using the Box-Behnken experimental design. The purity of PGA after recovery and purification from the fermentation broth was confirmed by SDS-PAGE followed by Methylene Blue staining. PGA was characterized by ESI MS and used for the preparation of a new nanocomposite with TiO2. The synthesis of PGA/TiO2 nanocomposite, its structural analysis, and cytotoxic effect on the cervical cancer cell line (HeLa cell) was investigated to determine the potential anti-cancer usage of this newly prepared material. Encouraging, PGA/TiO2 nanocomposite showed an increased cytotoxic effect compared to TiO2 alone.

AB  - Bioethanol is one of the main bio-based molecules produced mainly from sugar cane, molasses and corn. Its environmental advantages allow it to be considered as safe and the cleanest fuel alternative. Starch is a widespread renewable carbohydrate conventionally used for bioethanol production via energy demanding liquefaction and saccharification processes. Raw starch hydrolysis using enzymes capable of degrading it below the gelatinization temperature significantly simplifies the process and reduces the cost of starch processing. In this study, an innovative modified simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process is proposed for the production of bioethanol from highly concentrated raw corn starch (30 % w/v). A two-step synergistic hydrolysis and fermentation was carried out in a single bioreactor vessel. To ensure high process efficiency, factors influencing the hydrolysis of concentrated raw corn starch by raw starch degrading α-amylase from Bacillus paralicheniformis ATCC 9945a (BliAmy) and commercial glucoamylase were investigated. Box–Behnken experimental design was used to predict the effects of different ratios of added enzymes, glucoamylase addition time, incubation time, and pH on hydrolysis yield. Optimal conditions for the highest yield of hydrolysis of raw corn starch (90 %) were obtained after 8 h using 5.0 IU BliAmy per mg of starch and 0.5 % (v/v) glucoamylase at pH 4.5 and 60 °C. Obtained glucose was further fermented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae at 30 °C in the same vessel for bioethanol production. Bioethanol concentration at 129.2 g/L, with productivity of 2.94 g/L/h and ethanol yield (YP/S) at 0.50 g EtOH/g total sugar, equivalent to 87.8 % theoretical yield, was obtained by modified simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. This work enriches the information of bioethanol production and offers a novel strategy for raw starch hydrolysis under industrial conditions.

AB  - α-Amylase from Bacillus paralicheniformis (BliAmy), belonging to GH13_5 subfamily of glycoside hydrolases, was proven to be a highly efficient raw starch digesting enzyme. The ability of some α-amylases to hydrolyze raw starch is related to the existence of surface binding sites (SBSs) for polysaccharides that can be distant from the active site. Crystallographic studies performed on BliAmy in the apo form and of enzyme bound with different oligosaccharides and oligosaccharide precursors revealed binding of these ligands to one SBS with two amino acids F257 and Y358 mainly involved in complex formation. The role of this SBS in starch binding and degradation was probed by designing enzyme variants mutated in this region (F257A and Y358A). Kinetic studies with different substrates show that starch binding through the SBS is disrupted in the mutants and that F257 and Y358 contributed cumulatively to binding and hydrolysis. Mutation of both sites (F257A/Y358A) resulted in a 5-fold lower efficacy with raw starch as substrate and at least 5.5-fold weaker binding compared to the wild type BliAmy, suggesting that the ability of BliAmy to hydrolyze raw starch with high efficiency is related to the level of its adsorption onto starch granules.

AB  - alpha-Amylase from Bacillus licheniformis ATCC 9945a (BliAmy) was proven to be very efficient in hydrolysis of granular starch below the temperature of gelatinization. By applying two-stage feeding strategy to achieve high-cell-density cultivation of Escherichia coli and extracellular production of BliAmy, total of 250.5 U/mL (i.e. 0.7 g/L) of enzyme was obtained. Thermostability of amylase was exploited to simplify purification. The hydrolysis of concentrated raw starch was optimized using response surface methodology. Regardless of raw starch concentration tested (20, 25, 30 %), BliAmy was very effective, achieving the final hydrolysis degree of 91 % for the hydrolysis of 30 % starch suspension after 24 h. The major A-type crystalline structure and amorphous domains of the starch granule were degraded at the same rates, while amylose-lipid complexes were not degraded. BliAmy presents interesting performances on highly concentrated solid starch and could be of value for starch-consuming industries while response surface methodology (RSM) could be efficiently applied for the optimization of the hydrolysis.

AB  - Bacillus licheniformis 9945a alpha-amylase is known as a potent enzyme for raw starch hydrolysis. In this paper, a mixed mode Nuvia cPrime (TM) resin is examined with the aim to improve the downstream processing of raw starch digesting amylases and exploit the hydrophobic patches on their surface. This resin combines hydrophobic interactions with cation exchange groups and as such the presence of salt facilitates hydrophobic interactions while the ion-exchange groups enable proper selectivity. alpha-Amylase was produced using an optimized fed-batch approach in a defined media and significant overexpression of 1.2 g L-1 was achieved. This single step procedure enables simultaneous concentration, pigment removal as well as purification of amylase with yields of 96% directly from the fermentation broth.

AB  - alpha-Amylase production by solid-state fermentation of different Bacillus sp. was studied previously on different fermentation media. However, no study has been reported on the influence of selected media on expression of desired amylase isoforms such as raw-starch-digesting amylase (RSDA). In this paper, the influence of different inexpensive and available agro-resources as solid media (corn, wheat and triticale) on alpha-amylase isoform induction from three wild-type Bacillus sp., selected among one hundred strains tested, namely 9B, 12B and 24A was investigated. For all three strains, tested amylases were detected in the multiple forms; however, number and intensity of each form differed depending on the solid media used for growth. To determine which isoform from Bacillus sp. 12B was RSDA, the suspected isoform was purified. The optimum pH for the purified alpha-amylase isoform was 6.0-8.0, while the optimum temperature was 60-90 A degrees C. Isoform was considerably thermostable and Ca2+-independent, and actually the only alpha-amylase active towards raw starch. Purification and characterization of RSDA showed that not all of the solid media tested induced RSDA. From an economic point of view, it might be significant to obtain pure isoenzyme for potential use in the raw-starch hydrolysis, since it was 5 times more efficient in raw corn starch hydrolysis than the crude amylase preparation.

AB  - Natural amylase producers, wild type strains of Bacillus sp., were isolated from different regions of Serbia. Strains with the highest amylase activity based on the starch-agar plate test were grown on solid-state fermentation (SSF) on triticale. The influence of the substrate and different cultivation temperature (28 and 37 degrees C) on the production of amylase was examined. The tested strains produced alpha-amylases when grown on triticale grains both at 28 and at 37 degrees C, but the activity of amylases and the number and intensity of the produced isoforms were different. Significant hydrolysis of raw cornstarch was obtained with the Bacillus sp. strains 2B, 5B, 18 and 24B. The produced alpha-amylases hydrolyzed raw cornstarch at a temperature below the temperature of gelatinization, but the ability for hydrolysis was not directly related to the total enzyme activity, suggesting that only certain isoforms are involved in the hydrolysis.
