&#946;-1,3-glucan is one of the primary components in <i>C. albicans</i> biofilm EPS, which is important for Candida biofilm formation and resistance to stresses. The enzyme &#946;-1,3-glucanase, from Cellulosimicrobium cellulans, can degrade &#946;-1,3-glucan.

β-1,3-glucanase

β-1,3-glucanase protein coding region. β-1,3-glucanase can degrade biofilm.

1. Usage and Biology

β-1,3-glucan is one of the primary components in C. albicans biofilm EPS, which is important for Candida biofilm formation and resistance to stresses. The enzyme β-1,3-glucanase, from Cellulosimicrobium cellulans, can degrade β-1,3-glucan. Therefore, this year, we decided to use β-1,3-glucanase to disrupt the Candida biofilm matrix and increase the effect of the antimicrobial drug.

2. Characterization

2.1 Validation of β-1,3-glucanase construction

To verify the construction of pVE-β-1,3-glucanase (pVE-β-GA) which we generated, the digestion by SalI/EcoRV was performed by a standard protocol followed by agarose gel electrophoresis (Figure 1).

2.2 Expression of β-1,3-glucanase

To assess the β-1,3-glucanase expression of our construct, Congo Red experiment was used. Congo Red has a strong red chromogenic reaction with β-1,3-glucan. In contrast, when β-1, 3-glucan is decomposed into reducing monosaccharides by β-1,3-glucanase, the hydrolyzed region forms a pale yellow transparent hydrolytic circle. Compared with control, there was a larger size of transparent hydrolytic circle caused by β-1,3-glucanase expressed in E. coli with pVE-β-GA, indicating the expression of β-1,3-glucanase (Figure 2).

Add 10 mg/mL Congo Red solution to LB medium containing β-1,3-glucan substrate (0.1 g/100 mL) at a ratio of 1:100. 100 μL supernatant obtained by centrifugation after ultrasonic crushing of E. coli with pVE-β-GA is added to the Oxford cup, and the pVE empty vector bacteria supernatant is used as the control. Stand at 37 ℃ for 24 hours.

2.3 Degradation effect of β-1,3-glucanase on biofilm

Crystal violet (CV) reduction method, which is commonly used for quantitative analysis of biofilm, was used to evaluate the antibiofilm activity of β-1,3-glucanase. Under the condition of using bacteria with pVE5523 vector(pVE vector) to exclude the influence of bacterial substances on the staining results, as Figure 10 shows, β-1,3-glucanase produced by our engineered bacteria has the effect of degrading biofilm. The supernatant of E. coli with pVE-β-GA diluted by one time is estimated to reach the effect of 0.5 μg/mL~2 μg/mL samples of standard β-1,3-glucanase. The result demonstrated that β-1,3-glucanase had disruption effect on mature biofilm with concentration-dependent manner (Figure 3).

Figure 3. Degradation effect of β-1,3-glucanase on biofilm. Biofilm formed in RPMI 1640 medium for 48 hrs. Mature biofilm was treated with RPMI 1640 medium, bacteria supernatant of pVE vector or pVE-β-GA or standard β-1,3-glucanase in different concentrations (0.5, 1 and 2 μg/mL) for another 24 hrs. Values obtained are given as the percentage of biofilm. The experiment was performed three times in triplicate. *, P < 0.05 from mock control using Student’s t test. △, P < 0.05.

3. Conclusion

Our engineered bacteria successfully characterized β-1,3-glucanase. Moreover, it was effective in performing the function of degrading C. albicans biofilm.
