Since the cellulase produced by the novel strain according to the present invention exhibits better saccharification yield than the existing saccharification enzymes, it can be used in various applications, including bioenergy production, textile industry, papermaking industry, detergent industry, feed industry, food industry, production of low-calorie foods, fermentation of food wastes, or the like.
Description
- The present invention relates to the novel strain Pholiota adiposa SKU714, a method for producing cellulase from the strain and a method for saccharifying cellulose using the produced cellulase.
- Cellulose is the most abundant organic matter on Earth. It is a renewable resource with no concern of depletion unlike petroleum or coal. However, cellulose is mostly discarded as agricultural and forestry wastes, which are regarded as the major causes of environmental pollution. Each year, more than 3 billion tons of agricultural and forestry wastes are produced worldwide, and more than 800 million tons in Asia only.
- Since the agricultural and forestry wastes are mostly composed of cellulose and hemicellulose, if they can be converted to monosaccharides including glucose through saccharification, it may be greatly helpful for solving food, fuel and environmental problems.
- As a general method of recovering monosaccharides from agricultural and forestry wastes, a method of adding sulfuric acid and conducting saccharification at high temperature and pressure is known. However, this method is problematic in that expensive equipment that can endure the strong acid and high pressure is necessary, separation and recovery of monosaccharides are difficult because of production of various byproducts, production cost is high because of the need to dispose of the byproducts and the associated processes are environment-unfriendly. Because the general saccharification method is limited for commercial application, researches have been made on a more environment-friendly cellulose saccharification method that can replace it. In this regard, various saccharification enzymes have been developed and commercialized for various industrial fields. Also, their applications are actively being studied. As the saccharification enzyme, cellulase is widely used in textile, papermaking, detergent and feed industries. In addition, it is used to produce low-calorie foods, ferment food wastes, or the like.
- The cell wall of a plant consists of polymers such as cellulose (insoluble β-1,4-glucan fiber), hemicellulose (non-cellulose-based polysaccharide) and lignin (complex polyphenol polysaccharide). Among the components, cellulose is present in highest quantity, followed by hemicellulose with xylan as a main constituent. The two components account for more than 50% of the total plant biomass. Cellulose is a homopolymer of glucose units linked by β-1,4 linkage. To break it down into monosaccharides, three types of enzymes, i.e., endo-β-1,4-glucanase (endo-β-1,4-) [EC 3.2.1.4], exo-β-1,4-glucanase [EC 3.2.1.91] and β-glucosidase, are necessary. Endo-glucanase cleaves β-1,4 glucose linkages randomly from inside and exo-glucanase cleaves breaks down a glucan into the disaccharide cellobiose at a non-reducing end. Cellobiose is finally broken down to glucose by β-glucosidase.
- Cellulase is mostly produced using molds (fungi). In particular, it is produced industrially using Aspergillus and Trichoderma. Although Trichoderma reesei ZU-02 (Trichoderma reesei ATCC 56764) has been intensively studied as a representative cellulase-producing strain, enzyme concentration and activity are not sufficient enough to satisfy the industrial needs. For example, although the process of producing ethanol from biomass has many advantages in terms of recycling of resources, environment-friendliness of the produced fuel, etc., the ethanol production from the lignocellulosic substance is highly costly as compared to gasoline production. In the ethanol production process, the cost of producing saccharification enzyme accounts for about 60% of the total production cost.
- Accordingly, there is a strong need for an effective saccharification process of cellulose, particularly on environment-friendly one using a new strain.
- The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems of the prior art.
- The present invention is directed to providing a cellulase-producing novel strain exhibiting high activity.
- The present invention is also directed to providing a method for producing cellulase using the strain.
- The present invention is also directed to providing a method for saccharifying cellulose using the cellulase.
- In an aspect, the present invention provides a cellulase-producing Pholiota adiposa SKU714 (Accession No. KCCM 11187P) strain.
- In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for producing cellulase, including culturing the Pholiota adiposa SKU714 (Accession No. KCCM 11187P).
- In the method for producing cellulase according to the present invention, the culturing may be performed using a medium of pH 4.5-5.5 containing corn steep powder (5-10 g/L), yeast extract (1-5 g/L), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (3-7 g/L), potassium hydrogen phosphate (3-7 g/L), magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (1-5 g/L), thiamine hydrochloride (0.01-0.03 g/L) and a carbon source (10-30 g/L).
- In the method for producing cellulase according to the present invention, the carbon source may be selected from a group consisting of cellulose, cellobiose, rice straw and avicel.
- In the method for producing cellulase according to the present invention, the culturing may be performed under the condition of a stirring rate of 100-200 rpm, an aeration rate of 0.8-1.2 vvm and a culturing temperature of 25-30° C.
- In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for saccharifying cellulose using the cellulase produced by the Pholiota adiposa SKU714 strain.
- In the method for saccharifying cellulose according to the present invention, the saccharification may be performed under the condition of a substrate concentration of 5-25 wt %, a cellulase concentration of 1-45 FPU/g substrate, pH 4-7 and a temperature of 50-80° C.
- In the method for saccharifying cellulose according to the present invention, poplar, rice straw or a mixture thereof may be used as a cellulose source or substrate.
- The novel strain Pholiota adiposa SKU714 according to the present invention, which is isolated from mushroom, produces high-activity cellulase.
- Since the cellulase produced by the novel strain according to the present invention exhibits better saccharification yield than the existing saccharification enzymes, it can be used in various applications, including bioenergy production, textile industry, papermaking industry, detergent industry, feed industry, food industry, production of low-calorie foods, fermentation of food wastes, or the like.

After colony was formed on the solid agar medium, the plate was stained with 0.1% Congo red and then destained with 1 M sodium chloride. Then, cellulase-producing mushroom strains were screened by selecting ones having halos produced by hydrolysis of cellulose around the colony.
- Primary strains (S1-S6) were screened through this procedure. From the screened strains, the S4 strain exhibiting the best cellulose degrading ability was selected after testing on the solid agar medium containing carboxymethyl cellulose using the existing producing strain Trichoderma reesei ZU-02 as control (C).
- For identification of the S4 strain screened in Example 1, the ITS-5.8S rDNA sequence was analyzed by the Korean Culture Center of Microorganisms. The ITS-5.8S rDNA sequence of the S4 strain was named as SEQ ID NO 1.
- As a result of analyzing the genetic relationship between the ITS-5.8S rDNA sequence of the S4 strain with similar species, the S4 strain was identified as Pholiota adiposa (

- Culturing condition was optimized in a 7-L fermentation tank using a medium containing corn steep powder (8 g/L), yeast extract (2 g/L), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (5 g/L), potassium hydrogen phosphate (5 g/L), magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (3 g/L), thiamine hydrochloride (0.02 g/L) and rice straw (20 g/L). Cellulase production was compared while varying pH from 3 to 7 and changing culturing temperature from 20 to 35° C. The maximum cellulase production was achieved at
pH 5 and 25-30° C. - Also, β-1,4-glucosidase activity was compared while varying pH from 3 to 7.5 and changing temperature from 40 to 85° C. The result is shown in
FIGS. 3 a and 3 b. As seen fromFIGS. 3 a and 3 b, the maximum cellulase activity was achieved atpH 5 and 65° C. - In general, lignocellulose contained in a plant cannot be saccharified at high yield only with enzymatic hydrolysis. For this reason, lignin and hemicellulose are fragmented prior to enzymatic hydrolysis through a pretreatment process in order to increase the cellulose hydrolysis efficiency by cellulase. In Example 5, for the pretreatment, 10 g of rice straw was added to a flask containing 40 mL of 2 wt % sodium hydroxide solution and reacted at 85° C. for 1 hour. Then, the rice straw was filtered through a 0.45-uM filter and dried at 65° C.
- In order to find the optimized saccharification condition, experiment was conducted while varying enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, reaction temperature and reaction pH.
- First, the pretreated rice straw at various concentrations was added to 20 mL of 0.1 M sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.0) together with cellulase at various concentrations. After reaction at 15-55° C. and 150 rpm for 72 hours, the reaction mixture was boiled at 100° C. for 3 minutes to remove denatured enzyme, which was then cooled to room temperature and centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 15 minutes. Enzyme activity was measured by the reducing sugar method from the supernatant.
- Saccharification yield was determined according to Equation 1 by measuring the weight decrease of the rice straw after drying at 105° C. for 24 hours per gram of the rice straw.
-
Saccharification yield (%)=[(Weight of produced reducing sugar/g substrate)×0.9/Weight of carbohydrate in rice straw]×100 [Equation 1] - (1) Saccharification Yield Depending on Enzyme Concentration
- Saccharification was performed using Pholiota adiposa SKU714 strain at 65° C. and
pH 6 while varying enzyme concentration. The result is shown in Table 3. -
TABLE 3 Enzyme concentration (FPU/g substrate) Saccharification yield (%) 1 9.7 5 23.9 17.5 83.0 30 81.2 42.5 80.6 - As seen from Table 3, the best saccharification yield was achieved when the enzyme concentration was 15-45 FPU/g substrate.
- (2) Saccharification Yield Depending on Substrate Concentration
- The effect of substrate concentration on the saccharification of poplar by the saccharification enzyme produced by the Pholiota adiposa SKU714 strain was investigated. Saccharification yield was measured while varying the initial concentration of the poplar substrate from 1 to 27 wt %. The result is shown in Table 4.
-
TABLE 4 Substrate concentration (wt %) Saccharification yield (%) 1 43.0 2 63.5 11 81.2 20 83.1 27 51.0 - As seen from Table 4, superior saccharification yield was achieved when the initial concentration of the poplar substrate was 10-25 wt %. The best saccharification yield was achieved when the poplar concentration was 20 wt %.
- (3) Saccharification Yield Depending on Temperature
- The effect of temperature on the saccharification of poplar by the saccharification enzyme produced by the Pholiota adiposa SKU714 strain was investigated. Saccharification yield was measured at different reaction temperatures of 20, 35, 50, 65 and 80° C. The result is shown in Table 5.
-
TABLE 5 Reaction temperature (° C.) Saccharification yield (%) 20 33.2 35 45.0 50 75.8 65 82.1 80 71.2 - As seen from Table 5, superior saccharification yield was achieved when the saccharification temperature was 50-80° C. The best saccharification yield was achieved at 65° C.
- (4) Saccharification Yield Depending on pH
- The effect of pH on the saccharification of poplar by the saccharification enzyme produced by the Pholiota adiposa SKU714 strain was investigated. Saccharification yield was measured at different reaction pH's of 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. The result is shown in Table 6.
-
TABLE 6 pH Saccharification yield (%) 1 20.0 3 62.6 5 81.4 7 84.0 9 39.4 - As seen from Table 6, superior saccharification yield was achieved at pH 4-7. The best saccharification yield was achieved at
pH 7. - (1) Saccharification of Poplar Using Pholiota adiposa Cellulase
- Saccharification of poplar was conducted under the optimized condition using the cellulase produced by the Pholiota adiposa SKU714 strain. Saccharification was performed under the condition of a
substrate concentration 10 wt %, anenzyme concentration 25 FPU/g substrate,pH 6 and a temperature 65° C. The saccharification yield of the cellulase produced by the Pholiota adiposa SKU714 strain is compared with that of Novozymes' cellulase derived from Trichoderma reesei (Celluclast 1.5 L) in Table 7. -

substrate concentration 10 wt %, an enzyme concentration 16 FPU/g substrate,pH 6 and a temperature 65° C. The saccharification yield of the cellulase produced by the Pholiota adiposa SKU714 strain is compared with those of Novozymes' cellulase derived from Trichoderma reesei (Celluclast 1.5 L) and cellulase derived from the Pholiota nameko KTCC26163 strain in Table 8. -
TABLE 8 Sugar production (mg/g Saccharification yield Cellulase rice straw) (%) Pholiota adiposa 690 88 SKU714 Trichoderma reesei 582 76 Pholiota nameko 420 56 - Although the Pholiota nameko and Pholiota adiposa strains belong to the same genus Pholiota, they exhibit quite different cellulose saccharification effects. Whereas the Pholiota nameko strain is limited for use as a saccharification enzyme due to low protein productivity and low enzyme activity, the Pholiota adiposa strain according to the present invention is suitable for commercial application owing to production of various biomass-degrading enzymes including cellulase, high protein productivity, high enzyme activity and good thermal stability.
