Cellulase production by Trichoderma reesei

Summary A model is proposed for the enzyme production by Trichoderma reesei (QM 9414), which assumes control of the active enzyme transport through the cell membrane as a key parameter for the enzyme activity change in the culture filtrate. In a stirred tank reactor, continuous cultivation of the fungus was carried out in the dilution rate range of D=0.01–0.032 h^–1. After changing the dilution rate it took 3–4 weeks to attain a steady state in enzyme activity. Reducing sugars, dissolved protein, enzyme activity (filter-paper and glucosidase activities), cellulose and nitrogen content of the sediment, the elementary analysis of the cell and the composition of the outlet gas were all determined during cultivation. At a dilution rate of D=0.025 h^–1 all of these properties change due to derepression (for D<0.025 h^–1) or repression (for D>0.025 h^–1) of the enzymes which are responsible for the active transport of cellulases from the cell into the medium. The cellulase excretion causes a decrease of the yield coefficient of growth and a reduction of the nitrogen content of the cells.In a two-stage system the time to attain a steady state increases to 4–6 weeks. At low dilution rates the enzyme activity is only slightly higher in the second stage than in the first. At high dilution rates, at which the enzyme is not excreted into the medium in the first stage, enzyme activity can be increased considerably in the second stage.     

Cellulase secretion by immobilized protoplasts of Trichoderma reesei

Protoplasts from Trichoderma reesei were immobilized in alginate and induced to produce cellulase (endoglucanase and β-glucosidase) enzymes. The specific activities of the synthesized enzymes were higher in immobilized protoplasts than in both free and immobilized mycelia. Immobilized protoplasts show an enhanced rate of exocellular β-glucosidase production compared to intact mycelia due to the lack of cell wall. The ratio of the exocellular/intracellular β-glucosidase was 5.9 for immobilized protoplasts and 0.32 for free mycelia.     

Solid-State Fermentation with Trichoderma reesei for Cellulase Production

Cellulase yields of 250 to 430 IU/g of cellulose were recorded in a new approach to solid-state fermentation of wheat straw with Trichoderma reesei QMY-1. This is an increase of ca. 72% compared with the yields (160 to 250 IU/g of cellulose) in liquid-state fermentation reported in the literature. High cellulase activity (16 to 17 IU/ml) per unit volume of enzyme broth and high yields of cellulases were attributed to the growth of T. reesei on a hemicellulose fraction during its first phase and then on a cellulose fraction of wheat straw during its later phase for cellulase production, as well as to the close contact of hyphae with the substrate in solid-state fermentation. The cellulase system obtained by the solid-state fermentation of wheat straw contained cellulases (17.2 IU/ml), β-glucosidase (21.2 IU/ml), and xylanases (540 IU/ml). This cellulase system was capable of hydrolyzing 78 to 90% of delignified wheat straw (10% concentration) in 96 h, without the addition of complementary enzymes, β-glucosidase, and xylanases.     

Cellulase and xylanase production by Trichoderma reesei Rut C-30

Summary When grown on cellulose or xylan, Trichoderma reesei (strain Rut C-30) produced extra-cellular enzymes which could hydrolyze both cellulose and xylan to their respective monosaccharides. At low O₂ saturation, -glucosidase activity is greatly reduced for cellulose-grown but not xylan-grown cells.     

Stability of the Cellulase of Trichoderma reesei under use conditions

Enzyme stability studies have been reinvestigated under the conditions used for cellulose hydrolysis (pH 4.8, 50°C, 24 hr). The cellobiohydrolase (CBH) component as measured on Avicel is less stable than other enzymes of the cellulase complex, and is 60% inactivated by merthiolate (and other Hg compounds) under the above conditions. Endo-β-1,4-glucanase is much more stable, and more resistant to merthiolate and other compounds. Under unshaken conditions the Avicelase of the Rutgers strain C 30 shows greater stability to heat than that of other available strains. Biocides must be selected not only for their ability to prevent contamination, but also for their compatibility with cellulases. Tetracycline and chlortetracycline are inexpensive, effective in very low concentrations, have no harmful effect on the enzymes, and are compatible with the yeasts that subsequently grow on the sugar solutions to produce alcohol. Attempts have been made to stabilize the enzymes by chemical modification in such a way as to maintain their solubility. Glutaraldehyde treatment greatly increased the enzyme size, lowered the pI values, and gave a slight shift in the pH activity curve. There was, unfortunately, no increase in enzyme stability, and the activity of enzymes on solid celluloses was adversely affected. Shaking greatly reduced the hydrolysis of Avicel by Trichoderma reesei C 30 enzyme. The adverse effect was accompanied by a decrease in recoverable enzyme and protein.     

ACEI of Trichoderma reesei Is a Repressor of Cellulase and Xylanase Expression

We characterized the effect of deletion of the Trichoderma reesei (Hypocrea jecorina) ace1 gene encoding the novel cellulase regulator ACEI that was isolated based on its ability to bind to and activate in vivo in Saccharomyces cerevisiae the promoter of the main cellulase gene, cbh1. Deletion of ace1 resulted in an increase in the expression of all the main cellulase genes and two xylanase genes in sophorose- and cellulose-induced cultures, indicating that ACEI acts as a repressor of cellulase and xylanase expression. Growth of the strain with a deletion of the ace1 gene on different carbon sources was analyzed. On cellulose-based medium, on which cellulases are needed for growth, the Δace1 strain grew better than the host strain due to the increased cellulase production. On culture media containing sorbitol as the sole carbon source, the growth of the strain with a deletion of the ace1 gene was severely impaired, suggesting that ACEI regulates expression of other genes in addition to cellulase and xylanase genes. A strain with a deletion of the ace1 gene and with a deletion of the ace2 gene coding for the cellulase and xylanase activator ACEII expressed cellulases and xylanases similar to the Δace1 strain, indicating that yet another activator regulating cellulase and xylanase promoters was present.     

Cellulase secretion from a hyper-cellulolytic mutant of Trichoderma reesei Rut-C30

Two strains of Trichoderma reesei, wild type QM6a and mutant Rut-C30, were grown in meida containing an inducer, insoluble crystalline cellulose (Avicel PH101), as carbon source for 11 days. The cell growth, expressed as myceliar protein content, of Rut-C30 was 4–5 times higher than QM6a. The lack of ultrastructural disorganization, and absence of intracellular enzyme release into the growth medium, indicated that none of these two strains had undergone any significant autolysis during the entire growth phase. Cellulase activities, mainly endoglucanase, cellobiase and filter paper degrading activity (disc) were enhanced in Rut-C30 cells. A major change was observed in the endoglucanase activity which was 30 times higher in Rut-C30 than QM6a, whereas, both -glucosidase and disc activities were 3 times enhanced in Rut-C30 compared to QM6a. In addition to synthesis, cellulase secretion was also enhanced in Rut-C30. Both the organisms contained same amounts of intracellular marker enzyme activities (e.g., inosine diphosphatase, thiamine pyrophosphatase, alkaline phosphatase). Finally, the enahncement of secretory activity of Rut-C30 was correlated with the proliferation of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and increased phospholipid content. It appears that Rut-C30 is not only a hypercellulolytic but also a hypersecretor mutant.
