RESUMO

This work involved the research and definition of the culture conditions that maximize the production of manganese peroxidase (MnP) and laccase (Lac) by C. subvermispora, a white-rot fungus studied in biopulping industrial processes. The study involved submerged or static cultures with immobilized mycelium in polyuretane foam in complex or defined medium, and immobilized cultures in defined medium with different concentrations of Mn2+ and inductors, 2.5-xylidin and veratryl alcohol, and surfactant, Tween 80, resulting in different expressions levels of MnPs and Lacs. To determine how these conditions affect the production of oxidative enzymes (MnP and Lac), the cultures were evaluated kinetically regarding the concentration of proteins, enzymatic activities, the absorption of light in the UV-VIS regions, the concentration of reducing sugars, the micelyal growth, the concentration of ammonium, pH, electrical conductivity. We also performed electrophoretic analysis of some selected cultures. In the cultures inoculated whith discs of mycelium, the condition immobilized in poliuretane foam whith complex medium showed potential for producing Lac (147.5 IU / L). In the cultures inoculated with homogenized mycelium, the immobilized condition whith defined medium showed selective production of MnP (277.5 IU/L). It was found that the submerged and immobilized cultures in complex medium increased the production of Lac instead of MnP. In the immobilized cultures with defined medium, the variation of the concentration of manganese in the medium altered the production of MnP, being the concentration of 11 ppm that promoting maximum activity (108.5 IU/L). However, in the absence of manganese in the medium, the selective production of Lac (15.5 IU / L) was observed. With the supplementation of the defined medium containing 11 ppm Mn+2 with 0.5 or 1.0 mM 2.5-xylidine, maximum activities of Lac of 14.0 and 22.0 IU / L, respectively, were achieved. The maximum activity of MnP was not affected by the addition of 2.5-xylidine. There was no significant increase in the maximum activities of Lac and MnP when the medium was supplemented with veratryl alcohol. Supplementation of the medium with Tween 80, at concentrations of 0.05% and 0.5% v/v, in addition to 11 ppm Mn+2 and 1.0 mM 2.5-xylidine, further increased the production of Lac, with highest activities of 53 and 61 IU/L; MnP activities were 175 and 182 IU/L, respectively. Electrophoresis under denaturing conditions revealed bands of approximately 12.4-118.3 KDa in the electrophoresis non-denaturing PAGE showed MnP and Lac activities in differents bands. During the cultivations, the exhaustion of sugars led to decreased concentrations of mycelium and increased concentrations of ammonia in the extracts, probably due to the occurrence of cellular autolysis. The pH and conductivity showed low variations. The culture in complex medium showed an increased conductivitywith time, probably due to the secretion of organic acids by the fungus.
