Abstract

In the recent years there has been a growing interest in the use of oligosaccharides as prebiotics to modulate gut microbiota with an aim to improve the gut health. Though xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) have been increasingly used as prebiotics, information pertaining to the enzymes used by lactobacilli to degrade these substrates is scanty. Present investigation reports the purification and characterization of �-d-xylosidase from Lactobacillus brevis NCDC01 grown on XOS. Three sequential steps consisting of ultra-filtration, DEAE cellulose ion-exchange and Sephacryl S-100 gel filtration chromatographies were employed to purify the enzyme to apparent homogeneity and it was found to be monomeric on SDSPAGE with an apparent molecular mass of ∼58.0 kDa. The pH and temperature optima were 6.0 and 40 ◦C respectively. The enzyme remained stable over a pH range of 5.5–7.5 and up to 50 ◦C for 30 min. Under optimum pH and temperature with p-nitrophenyl �-d-xylopyranoside as a substrate, the enzyme exhibited a Km of 0.87 mM. The enzyme does not require any metal ion for activity or stability but is completely inhibited by Hg2+, Pb2+, p-chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB), oxalic acid and citric acid. This is perhaps the first report on the purification and characterization of �-d-xylosidase from Lactobacillus brevis NCDC01.
