    Abstract The current work focused on the purification and biochemical characterization of an extracellular β-d-fructofuranosidase from a novel fungus identified genetically using 18S rRNA molecular sequencing as Aspergillus sp. DHE1 cultured under solid state fermentation using the Cotton (Gossypium herbaceum) seed waste as substrate. The enzyme was purified through fractionation by ammonium sulpate salt, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration, yielding a 13.3-purification fold, 22.6% recovery and 192.9 U/mg protein specific activity. The apparent molecular mass of Aspergillus sp. DHE1 β-d-fructofuranosidase was 78 kDa as estimated on sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Optimal pH and temperature were observed at 6.0 and 50 °C, respectively, and the enzyme was quite thermostable at neutral/alkalophilic conditions, retaining 72% of its original activity after 1 h of incubation at 60 °C. The activity of the purified Aspergillus sp. DHE1 β-d-fructofuranosidase was stimulated by 1 mM of KCl (138.5%), NaCl (125.9%), CoCl₂ (121.2%), and CaCl₂ (112.3%), whereas the same concentration of AgCl, FeCl₃, HgCl₂, and CuCl₂ inhibited the activity by 48.7%, 30.5%, 29.9%, and 26.2%, respectively. The kinetic studies using d-sucrose as the substrate were investigated using a Lineweaver-Burk plot, with Kₘ and Vₘₐₓ of 0.85 mM and 47.62 U/mL, respectively, indicating the high substrate affinity of β-d-fructofuranosidase. The ability of Aspergillus sp. DHE1 β-d-fructofuranosidase to tolerate ethanol suggests that it may have numerous uses in the food industry, including the production of alcoholic beverages.

    Abstract Background: L-arginase, is a powerful anticancer that hydrolyzes L-arginine to L-ornithine and urea. This enzyme is widely distributed and expressed in organisms like plants, fungi, however very scarce from bacteria. Our study is based on isolating, purifying, and screening the marine bacteria that can produce arginase.
    Results: The highest arginase producing bacteria will be identified by using microbiological and molecular biology methods as Bacillus licheniformis OF2. Characterization of arginase is the objective of this study. The activity of enzyme was screened, and estimated beside partial sequencing of arginase gene was analyzed. In silico homology modeling was applied to generate the protein's 3D structure, and COACH and COFACTOR were applied to determine the protein's binding sites and biological annotations based on the I-TASSER structure prediction. The purified enzyme was undergone an in vitro anticancer test.
    Conclusions: L-arginase demonstrated more strong anti-cancer cells with an IC50 of 21.4 ug/ml in a dose-dependent manner. L-arginase underwent another investigation for its impact on the caspase 7 and BCL2 family of proteins (BCL2, Bax, and Bax/Bcl2). Through cell arrest in the G1/S phase, L-arginase signals the apoptotic cascade, which is supported by a flow cytometry analysis of cell cycle phases.

    Abstract Four bacterial isolates were obtained from marine sediments collected from Sahl Hashish, Hurghada Red Sea, Egypt. This study was designed to search for promising anti-Alzheimer natural polysaccharide; therefore, four isolates were screened for exopolysaccharides (EPSs) production and acetylcholinesterase inhibition. The isolate S16 provided the highest EPS yield (7.51 g/L) and acetylcholinesterase inhibition. It was identified morphologically and genetically using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis as Bacillus maritimus. A Physicochemical analysis of S16 exopolysaccharide (BMEPS) was estimated, which pointed to the presence of uronic acid and sulfate (24.7% and 18.3%, respectively). HPLC analysis indicated that mannuronic acid, glucuronic acid, glucose, and mannose are presented in a molar ratio of 0.8:1.0:2.8:2.3, respectively. Furthermore, FT-IR revealed an abundance of β-configurations. The GPC estimated the average molecular weight (Mw) as 4.31 × 10

    Conclusions: Administration of EPS ameliorated carrageen-induced elevation in inflammatory mediators; TNF-α/COX and suppressed the expressions of metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) by 68%, 86%, and 75% correspondingly in comparison to the group of carrageenans. Then again, therapy involving a high dose only reduced MMP9 level by 57%, compared to free drug suggesting that EPSS5 is a good inhibitor of the MMP9, as it brought MMP9 back to normal levels via the signaling pathway.

    Abstract Background: Exopolysaccharides are extremely powerful molecules with a wide range of uses in pharmaceuticals due to their structural and compositional complexity. Marine microorganisms often produce bioactive substances with novel functions and structures because of their special living conditions. Polysaccharides from marine microorganisms are of interest to new drug discovery.
    Results: The current research focused on the isolation of bacteria from Red Sea, Egypt, that have the ability to produce a new natural exopolysaccharide in order to be examined in treating Alzheimer's illness to obviate side effects of synthetic drugs. Properties of exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by an isolated Streptomyces strain were investigated for its capability to play as anti-Alzheimer. This strain was identified morphologically, physiologically, and biochemically and actually was confirmed by molecularly 16S rRNA analysis as Streptomyces sp. NRCG4 with accession number MK850242. The produced EPS was fractionated by precipitation 1:4 volumes of chilled ethanol and the third major fraction (1:3) listed as NRCG4, and then the functional groups, MW, and chemical evaluation have been detected via Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), high-performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The findings showed that NRCG4 was an acidic EPS composed of mannuronic acid, glucose, mannose, and rhamnose in a molar ratio of 1.2:1.5:2.8:1.0, respectively. NRCG4 Mw was determined to be 4.25 × 10
    Conclusions: The present study highlighted those exopolysaccharides could be harnessed to improve pharmaceutical industry (anti-Alzheimer, anti-tyrosinase, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant agents).

    Abstract Chemotherapeutic medications, including 5 – fluorouracil (5FU), are the same old technique to most cancers and are associated with numerous peripheral toxicities. We investigated exopolysaccharide (EPSST) produced from the isolated streptomycete of the Mediterranean Sea for the capability to lower the severity of mucositis in vivo. The streptomycete was isolated from Mediterranean Sea sediment from the beaches of Port Said Governorates, Egypt and identified morphologically, physiologically, and biochemically and confirmed by molecularly 16S rDNA analysis. The EPSST was extracted from the supernatant of streptomycete by using 4 volumes chilled ethanol and then the functional groups, MW, and chemical evaluation have been detected via Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In addition, antioxidant activity was measured through the usage of 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Thirty-two male rats (180–200 g) were randomly divided into a control group (normal saline), intraperitoneal injection of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU, 150 mg/kg), normal rats were treated with EPSST and 5-FU + EPSST group. These groups were continued up to the day of sacrifice (28 days post treatments). The isolated strain became recognized based totally on 16S rDNA sequence as Streptomyce sp. with accession number SAMN08349905. The chemical evaluations of EPSST were galacturonic, glucose, galactose, mannose, and arabinose with a relative ratio of 2.1: 1: 5.37: 1.62: 1.29 individually, with an average molecular weight (Mw) 9.687 × 10³ g/mol. Also, the EPSST contained uronic acid (16%) and sulfate (12.149%) and no protein was detected. EPSST inhibited the DPPH radical activity. The findings of this study propose that EPSST inhibits 5-FU-induced mucositis through adjustment of oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammatory factors, activation of antioxidant enzymes. The clinical administration of EPSST may recover the chemotherapy-induced intestinal dysfunction, consequently increasing the clinical efficiency of chemotherapy. In addition, the administration of EPSST reduced 5-FU-induced histopathological incongruities such as neutrophil infiltration, loss of cellular integrity, and villus and crypt distortion. The clinical administration of EPSST may recover the chemotherapy-induced intestinal dysfunction, consequently increasing the clinical efficiency of chemotherapy.

    Abstract Twenty streptomycete strains were isolated from marine sediment samples collected from Nabq area, Sharm El-Sheikh, Red Sea Coast, Egypt. Four of them produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) showing marked in vitro antitumor activities. Morphological and cultural characteristics of the most significant strain (No. 3) were shown. Moreover, the sequence of this strain showed similarity with Streptomyces carpaticus. The results reveal that EPS produced by Streptomyces carpaticus No. 3 had high cytotoxicity reaching 51.7% and 59.1% against human tumor cells of breast and colon lines respectively. A chemical analysis of EPS indicated that the composing monosaccharides were galactouronic acid, glucose, xylose, galactose, mannose, and fructose with relative ratio of 3:1:1:2:2:1 respectively, with an average molecular weight (Mw) 1.180×105 g/mol and of a number average molecular weight (Mn) 1.052×105 g/mol. Also the EPS contained uronic acid (0.5072%) and monosaccharide sulphates (21.753%).
