Abstract
A beta-1,3-glucanase was produced by Trichoderma harzianum in cultures containing chitin as the sole substrate. Two proteins showing beta-1,3-glucanase activity were purified to apparent homogeneity by hydrophobic chromatography. The molecular masses of these proteins were 29 and 36 kDa. The 36 kDa protein was further characterized. It was active on a broad pH range, and maximal activity was detected at pH 5.0. The optimum temperature of the 36 kDa beta-1,3-glucanase was 50ÂșC, but the purified enzyme was very sensitive to temperature. It lost about 60% or more of the activity after incubation for 30 min at 45, 50 and 60ÂșC. The apparent K M and Vmax for hydrolysis of laminarin at pH 5.0 and 37ÂșC, were 0.099 mg of reducing sugar/mL and 0.3 mg of reducing sugar/min.mL, respectively. The enzyme was insensitive to organic compound and metal ions, except for the ferric ion which inhibited about 100% of the original activity at the concentration of 1 mM. In contrast to other hydrolytic enzymes (a chitinase and a protease) produced by the same T. harzianum isolate (1051), the beta-1,3-glucanase showed no effect on the cell wall of the phytopathogenic fungus Crinipellis perniciosa.Uma beta-1,3-glucanase foi produzida por Trichoderma harzianum em cultura contendo quitina como fonte de carbono. Duas proteĂnas com atividade de beta-1,3-glucanase foram purificadas atravĂ©s de cromatografia de interação hidrofĂłbica. As massas moleculares destas proteĂnas foram de 29 kDa e 36 kDa. A proteĂna de 36 kDa foi caracterizada quanto Ă influĂȘncia das condiçÔes de pH e temperatura. A atividade mĂĄxima foi encontrada em pH 5,0 e temperatura de 50ÂșC. A proteĂna purificada mostrou-se muito sensĂvel Ă temperatura. Aproximadamente 60% da atividade original foi perdida por incubação da proteĂna a 45ÂșC, 50ÂșC e 60ÂșC, por 30 min. O K M aparente e a Vmax para hidrĂłlise de laminarina em pH 5,0 Ă 37ÂșC, foram de 0,099 mg de açĂșcar redutor/mL e 0,3 mg de açĂșcar redutor/min.mL, respectivamente. Esta enzima mostrou-se insensĂvel a compostos orgĂąnicos e Ăons metĂĄlicos, exceto Ăon fĂ©rrico o qual em uma concentração de 1 mM, inibiu em aproximadamente 100% a atividade da enzima. Ao contrĂĄrio de outras enzimas hidrolĂticas (quitinase e protease) produzidas pelo mesmo isolado 1051 de T. harzianum, a beta-1,3-glucanase descrita aqui nĂŁo afetou a integridade da parede celular do fitopatĂłgeno Crinipellis perniciosa.
