The Marine <i>Catenovulum agarivorans</i> MNH15 and Dextranase: Removing Dental Plaque

Dextranase, a hydrolase that specifically hydrolyzes &#945;-1,6-glucosidic bonds, has been used in the pharmaceutical, food, and biotechnology industries. In this study, the strain of <i>Catenovulum agarivorans</i> MNH15 was screened from marine samples. When the temperature, initial...

description Dextranase, a hydrolase that specifically hydrolyzes &#945;-1,6-glucosidic bonds, has been used in the pharmaceutical, food, and biotechnology industries. In this study, the strain of <i>Catenovulum agarivorans</i> MNH15 was screened from marine samples. When the temperature, initial pH, NaCl concentration, and inducer concentration were 30 &#176;C, 8.0, 5 g/L, and 8 g/L, respectively, it yielded more dextranase. The molecular weight of the dextranase was approximately 110 kDa. The maximum enzyme activity was achieved at 40 &#176;C and a pH of 8.0. The enzyme was stable at 30 &#176;C and a pH of 5&#8722;9. The metal ion Sr<sup>2+</sup> enhanced its activity, whereas NH<sup>4+</sup>, Co<sup>2+</sup>, Cu<sup>2+</sup>, and Li<sup>+</sup> had the opposite effect. The dextranase effectively inhibited the formation of biofilm by <i>Streptococcus mutans</i>. Moreover, sodium fluoride, xylitol, and sodium benzoate, all used in dental care products, had no significant effect on dextranase activity. In addition, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) showed that dextran was mainly hydrolyzed to glucose, maltose, and maltoheptaose. The results indicated that dextranase has high application potential in dental products such as toothpaste and mouthwash.
