Recent Advances in Industrial Application of Tannases: A Review

Recent Patents on Biotechnology (2013)

Vikas Beniwal Anıl Kumar Jitender Sharma Vinod Chhokar

Tannin acyl hydrolase (E.C. 3.1.1.20) commonly referred as tannase, is a hydrolytic enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of ester bonds present in gallotannins, ellagitannins, complex tannins and gallic acid esters. Tannases are the important group of botechnologically relevant enzymes distributed throughout the animal, plant and microbial kingdoms. However, microbial tannases are currently receiving a great deal of attention. Tannases are extensively used in food, feed, pharmaceutical, beverage, brewing and chemical industries. Owing to its diverse area of applications, a number of patents have been appeared in the recent past. The present review pretends to present the advances and perspectives in the industrial application of tannase with special emphasis on patents. Keywords: Tannase, tea, tannic acid, tannin, gallic acid.

Assessment of genetic diversity among 125 cultivars of chickpea(Cicer arietinum L.) of Indian origin using ISSR markers

TURKISH JOURNAL OF BOTANY (2015)

Himanshu Aggarwal A. Mohan Rao Anil Kumar Vikram Singh Jogender Singh Rana

Utilization of diverse germplasm is required to enhance the genetic variability of cultivars. Opportunity to generate favorable gene combinations can be provided by genetically diverse lines; thus, the probability of creating unique cultivars increases. Genetic diversity analysis of chickpea can give important indications for understanding species relationships and may help in developing and planning breeding programs. Thus, the present investigation was performed to assess the genetic diversity in 125 cultivars of chickpea of Indian origin, among which 42 are resistant and 13 are susceptible to Fusarium wilt and Ascochyta blight. Out of 40 ISSR primers, 26 primers generated 213 polymorphic loci. On average, 9 loci per marker were found; among these, 8 were polymorphic. The average polymorphic information content was 0.72, ranging from 0.26 to 0.91. The resolving power of the ISSR primers varied from 0.34 to 10.24. Cluster analysis using the UPGMA algorithm showed 3 major clusters, supported by STRUCTURE analysis. Genetic diversity analysis in terms of Shannon's index and Nei's gene diversity for resistant, susceptible, and miscellaneous cultivars revealed higher values for miscellaneous cultivars, indicating more variability among these cultivars in comparison to resistant and susceptible cultivars. AMOVA results among groups and among cultivars were 6% and 94%, respectively, while the estimated gene flow was 8.964. These values indicated high genetic variability among the studied cultivars and can be used to select good parental material in breeding programs and determine its correlation with the relationships based on pedigree data and morphological traits.

Optimization of chromium and tannic acid bioremediation by Aspergillus niveus using Plackett–Burman design and response surface methodology

AMB Express (2017)

Prachi Chaudhary Vinod Chhokar Pragati Choudhary Anıl Kumar Vikas Beniwal

A chromium and tannic acid resistance fungal strain was isolated from tannery effluent, and identified as Aspergillus niveus MCC 1318 based on its rDNA gene sequence. The MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) of the isolate against chromium and tannic acid was found to be 200 ppm and 5% respectively. Optimization of physiochemical parameters for biosorption of chromium and tannic acid degradation was carried out by Plackett–Burman design followed by response surface methodology (RSM). The maximum chromium removal and tannic acid degradation was found to be 92 and 68% respectively by A. niveus. Chromium removal and tannic acid degradation was increased up to 11 and 6% respectively after optimization. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to investigate biosorption phenomena.

Genetic Diversity of GPAM, DGAT1, and SCD1 Lipogenic Candidate Genes In Egyptian and Indian Buffalo

Egyptian Journal of Veterinary Science (2024)

Mohamed A zahran Hamdy Abdel-Shafy Sonia Sihag Vinod Chhokar Anıl Kumar

The objectives of the present study were to analyze polymorphisms in the glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase mitochondrial (GPAM), diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1), and stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase 1 (SCD1) genes in the Egyptian buffalo breed, and also to explore genetic diversity across Egyptian, Murrah, and Bhadawari buffalo populations. Genotyping was conducted using PCR-SSCP and sequencing techniques. Results indicate significant deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) in the Egyptian buffalo breed for GPAM, DGAT1, and SCD1 genes, with Murrah significantly differing at DGAT1 and SCD1 genes. Bhadawari breed significantly deviated from HWE only at DGAT1 gene. Pairwise comparison between populations revealed the shortest genetic distance between Egyptian and Murrah, while the longest between Bhadawari and Murrah. Multiple SNPs were identified in the genes under study, with alterations of amino acid sequences. These findings reveal novel genetic variants with potential implications for lipid metabolism and milk quality in Egyptian buffalo. Further research is warranted to elucidate the functional significance and breeding applications of these variations.

Efficacy of Aspergillus fumigatus MCC 1175 for Bioremediation of Tannery Wastewater

CLEAN - Soil Air Water (2019)

Prachi Chaudhary Vikas Beniwal Rupinder Kaur Ravinder Kumar Anil Kumar

Tannery effluent is characterized by high concentrations of chromium, nitrogen, sulfur compounds, and organic matter such as tannins. Chromium and tannins are considered an important source of contamination due to their toxic nature and large volume of liquid discharged and solid sludge produced. In the present study, bioremediation of chromium and tannic acid is studied in a batch culture system using response surface methodology. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy‐dispersive X‐ray (EDX) and Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) are used to investigate adsorption phenomena. A chromium and tannic acid resistance fungal strain is isolated from tannery effluent, and identified as Aspergillus fumigatus MCC 1175 based on its 18S rDNA gene sequence. The minimum inhibitory condition (MIC) of the isolate against chromium and tannic acid was found to be 0.2 and 10 mg mL −1 , respectively. The maximum Cr(VI) removal efficiency of 65.1% is found at optimum condition of pH 7, 96 h incubation period, 2.75% inoculum, and 0.1 mg mL −1 chromium. The maximum degradation of tannic acid (63.0%) occurs at pH 5, 27.5 mg mL −1 tannic acid, 100 rpm agitation speed, and an incubation period of 96 h. FTIR analysis of A. fumigatus MCC 1175 revealed the presence of carboxyl and phosphate groups as possible binding sites.
