The high enzyme titers of recombinant endo-mannanases (EC 3.2.1.78) have really boosted their industrial prospects in
food, feed, oil drilling, textiles and pulp sectors but the high cost associated with their production is still acting as a major
deterrent. In the present work, three pronged-approach was employed to ameliorate and economize ManB-1601 (recombinant
endo-mannanase, accession no: KM404299) production. Firstly, pRSETA manb-1601 construct was transformed in HIControl
E.coli BL21 (DE3) cells which resulted in 2.7 fold (1821 IU/ml, 42.5 hours post-induction) increase in ManB-1601
production as compared to the previous host. The second approach focused on understanding the interplay between various
nutritional and physical factors. Shifting of induction time to 5 hours resulted in up to 1.89 fold improvement in enzyme yield
(2268 IU/ml) and volumetric enzyme productivity (81 IU/ml/h). Replacement of IPTG with lactose improved ManB-1601
production by 1.77 fold (4031 IU/ml). Efforts to improve the cell membrane permeability using chemical (glycine, calcium
chloride) and physical [incubation temperature higher (42o C) or lower (16-25o C)] methods were found counter-productive.
Increment in protein (by peptone) and carbohydrate (by glycerol) concentration to 2.0 % (w/v) and 0.25% (v/v) resulted in
up to 2.08 fold (8406 IU/ml) increase in ManB-1601 titers. However, doubling (2X) or quadrupling (4X) the concentration of
optimized medium proved detrimental. Under the third approach, up to 70.45% (w/v) of protein in the optimized media was
successfully replaced with soluble protein from defatted flax seed meal in presence of glycerol (0.25% v/v) and lactose (1.5 mM)
and resulted in 5926 IU/ml of ManB-1601. Treatment of grated copra with purified ManB-1601 (220 IU/g) resulted in 9.1%
higher oil yield when compared to control. Laser scanning confocal microscopy and scanning electron micrographs studies
depicted significant reduction in oil-droplet size and subtle changes in the copra morphology, respectively in enzyme treated
samples. No change in FAME profiles was observed after ManB-1601 treatment.
