14 Microbial polysaccharides xanthan Polysaccharides as flocculation agent Function: - Improvement of sedimentation (e.g. in sewage sludge) Sedimentation of clay suspension Current product: - Standard is polyacrylate => not biodegradable, petro derived Essential properties: - High molecular weight - Charged Polyacrylate 0,02 % Xanthan 0,02 % No agent

15 Microbial polysaccharides - xanthan Polysaccharide produced from plant pathogen bacteria Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris - Leaf plotch Blattfleckenkrankheit, Ölfleckenkrankheit, black rot Schwarzfäule H Cellulose chain as backbone, Mannose and glucuronic acid side H H H chains, H Mw of >10 6 Da - H Shear thinning, thixotropic H H β-d-mannose β-1,4 D-Glucose - H H H H H H H H H β-1,2 D-Mannose β-1-4-d-glucuronic acid H H at rest in movement disordered viscous ordered free flowing

16 Microbial polysaccharides low acetyl xanthan Removal of acetate Improved viscosity Increased thermostability Improved interactions with other polymers => Coproduction of acetyl esterase during xanthan production

17 Depolymerisation of lignin

18 Depolymerisation of Lignin => Combination of chemical and enzymatic methods Fraunhofer Project Group BioCat RuCl 2 (PPh 3 ) 3 ADH/GST

19 Enzymatic cleavage of Lignin s beta-aryl-ether Enzymes focused on: Lig D, Lig F and Lig G* Reference substance: Guaiacol glycerol guaiacol ether (GGE)* Tasks Expression and purification of the LigD, F, G enzyme system Determination and optimization of enzyme activities Adoption to complex lignin substrates *Sato et al., Appl Environ Microbiol 75 (16), 2009

20 Enzymatic cleavage of Lignin s beta-aryl ether LigD-, LigF- and LigG- cell extracts Synthesis of codon-optimized gene sequences (Sphingomonas spec.) by Geneart GmbH Protein overexpression in E.coli BL21 (DE3) Enzyme-assays with cell extracts and GGE cleavage of mm GGE in 150 min at 30 C, ph 8 (assay II) HPLC detection of 2 compounds GGE- concentration [mm] 0,3 0,25 0,2 0,15 0,1 0,05 0 I: 50 µl CE, II: 100 µl CE; 0.3 mm GGE reaction time [min] without enzyme Assay I Assay II Guaiacol glycerol guaiacyl ether ß-hydroxypropiovanillone guaiacol
