Purification and properties of polygalacturonase produced by thermophilic fungus Thermoascus aurantiacus CBMAI-756 on solid-state fermentation

Polygalacturonases are enzymes involved in the degradation of pectic substances, being extensively used in food industries, textile processing, degumming of plant rough fibres, and treatment of pectic wastewaters. Polygalacturonase (PG) production by thermophilic fungus Thermoascus aurantiacus on solid-state fermentation was carried out in culture media containing sugar cane bagasse and orange bagasse in proportions of 30% and 70% (w/w) at 45°C for 4 days. PG obtained was purified by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. The highest activity was found between pH 4.5 and 5.5, and the enzyme preserved more than 80% of its activity at pH values between 5.0 and 6.5. At pH values between 3.0 and 4.5, PG retained about 73% of the original activity, whereas at pH 10.0 it remained around 44%. The optimum temperature was 60–65°C. The enzyme was completely stable when incubated for 1 hour at 50°C. At 55°C and 60°C, the activity decreased 55% and 90%, respectively. The apparent molecular weight was 29.3 kDa, Km of 1.58 mg/mL and Vmax of 1553.1μmol/min/mg. The presence of Zn+2, Mn+2, and Hg+2 inhibited 59%, 77%, and 100% of enzyme activity, respectively. The hydrolysis product suggests that polygalacturonase was shown to be an endo/exoenzyme.

Thermal study in solid state of Zn(II)-diclofenac complex: Behavior kinetic of dehydration, transition phase and thermal decomposition

The dehydration, thermal decomposition and transition phase stage of Zn(II)-diclofenac compoundwere studied by simultaneous TG-DTA and DSC techniques. The TG and DSC curves of this compoundwere obtained with the mass of sample of 2 and 5 mg. Additionally, DSC curves were carried out inopened and closed a-alumina pans under static and nitrogen atmosphere. The DTA and DSC curves showthat this compound possesses exothermic transition phase between 170-180 ºC, which it is irreversible(monotropic reaction). The kinetics study of this transition phase stage was evaluated by DSC undernon-isothermal conditions. The obtained data were evaluated with the isoconversional method, where thevalues of activation energy (Ea/kJmol-1) was plotted in function of the conversion degree (a). The resultsshow that due to mass sample, different activation energies were obtained. From these curves a tendencycan be seen where the plots maintain the same profile for closed lids and almost run parallel to each other.
