RESUMEN
A 2-deoxyglucose-resistant mutant (M7) of Humicola lanuginosa was obtained by exposing conidia to γ-rays and permitting expression in broth containing 0.6 percent 2-deoxyglucose (DG) and cellobiose (1 percent) before plating on DG esculin-ferric ammonium citrate agar medium from which colonies showing faster and bigger blackening zones were selected. Kinetic parameters for enhanced ß-glucosidase (BGL) synthesis by M7 were achieved when corncobs acted as the carbon source. The combination between corncobs and corn steep liquor was the best to support higher values of all product formation kinetic parameters. Effect of temperature on the kinetic and thermodynamic attributes of BGL production equilibrium in the wild organismand M7was studied using batch process at eight different temperatures in shake-flask studies. The best performance was found at 45ºC and 20 g L-1 corncobs in 64 h. Both growth and product formation (17.93 U mL-1) were remarkably high at 45ºC and both were coupled under optimum working conditions. Product yield of BGL from the mutant M7 (1556.5 U g-1 dry corncobs) was significantly higher than the values reported on all fungal and bacterial systems. Mutation had thermo-stabilization influence on the organism and mutant required lower activation energy for growth and lower magnitudes of enthalpy and entropy for product formation than those demanded by the wild organism, other mesophilic and thermo-tolerant organisms. In the inactivation phase, the organisms needed lower values of activation energy, enthalpy and entropy for product formation equilibrium, confirming thermophilic nature of metabolic network possessed by the mutant organism.
Um mutante de Hemicola lanuginosa resistente a 2-deoxiglucose(M7) foi obtido através de exposição de conídios a raios γ, permitindo a expressão em caldo contendo 0,6 por cento de 2-deoxiglucose (DG) e celobiose (1 por cento) antes da semeadura em ágar DG esculina citrato de ferro amoniacal, da qual foram selecionadas as colônias com halo negro. Os parâmetros cinéticos para produção aumentada de ß-glucosidase (BGL) foram obtidos empregando-se sabugo de milho como fonte de carbono. A combinação de espiga de milho com água de maceração de milho foi a que forneceu os valores mais altos nos parâmetros cinéticos de formação de todos os produtos. O efeito da temperatura na cinética e atributos termodinâmicos da produção de BGL pelas cepas selvagem e M7 foi avaliado empregando-se processo de batelada em oito temperaturas diferentes in frascos em agitação. O melhor desempenho foi observado a 45ºC e 20g.l-1 de espiga de milho em 64h. Tanto a multiplicação quanto a formação do produto foram muito altas a 45ºC e ambas estavam ligadas em condições ótimas de trabalho. O rendimento de BGL produzido pelo mutante M7 (1556 U.g-1 de espiga seca) foi significativamente superior aos valores reportados para todos os sistemas fúngicos e bacterianos. A mutação influenciou a termoestabilização no microrganismo, sendo que o mutante necessitou de energia de ativação mais baixa para multiplicação e valores mais baixos de entalpia e entropia para a formação do produto quando comparado à cepa selvagem e a outros microrganismos mesofilicos e termotolerantes. Na fase de inativação, os microrganismos necessitaram valores mais baixos de energia de ativação, entalpia e entropia para o equilíbrio da formação de produto, confirmando a natureza termofílica da máquina metabólica do mutante.
