RESUMO

The objective of this research was to isolate microorganisms which produced yeast cell walllytic enzymes and to study the production, purification and characterization of a Iytic ~-1,3-glucanase. The yeast-Iytic bacterium was isolated from the sludge of the Santa Helena sugar and alcohol factory in Piracicaba, SP. The isolated yeast-Iytic bacterium adhered to viable cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae701 and Iysed them.The yeast-IyticbacteriumYLM-8191-1, selected for this study, was identified as Cellulomonas cellulans, from its biochemical and physiological characteristics.The strain C. cellulansYLM 8191-1 was cultivated in a medium containing (per liter) 2.0 9 of (NH4hSO4; 13.6 9 of KH2PO4;4.2 9 of KOH; 0.2 9 of MgSO47H2O; 0.001 9 of Fe2(SO4h6H2Oand 1 mg each of biotin and thiamin being supplemented with 15 9 of dried yeast as the carbon source for the production of ~-1,3-glucanase. The ~1 ,3-glucanase was purified from the culture fluid of C. cellulans YLM-8191-1 by ultrafiltration and CM-Sepharose CL-68 column chromatography. The purified enzyme showed greatest activity at 55°C and between pH 4.5 - 6.5. The purified ~-1,3-glucanase was stable in the range from pH 5.5 to 6.5 and was inactivated by heating at temperatures above 55°C. The molecular weight of purified ~-1,3-glucanasewas estimated at about 17.1 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The ~-1,3-glucanase hydrolyses the ~-1,3-glucosidic linkages of the laminarin acting as an endoenzyme. Scanning electron microscopy showed that Iytic enzymes from C. cellulans YLM-8191-1 were able to modify the cellular surface of yeast
