Evidence of glycoproteins and sulphated proteoglycan-like presence in extracellular polymeric substance from anaerobic granular sludge.
ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY(2015)
摘要
The protein fraction of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) from two anaerobic granular sludge samples was characterized with sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and a far western blotting method. SDS-PAGE was used with various staining applications to obtain a protein (silver), glycoprotein [periodic acid-Shiff's (PAS)] or proteoglycan-like (Alcian blue at pH 2.5 (carboxylic group) or 1 (sulphated group)) fingerprint. The fingerprints of the EPS denatured protein from the two sludge samples differed. Some proteins are specific to Soluble (S) or Bound (B)-EPS (20-100kDa). Denatured proteins with a polysaccharide moieties characterization are more present in B-EPS. Glycoproteins with alpha-D-mannosyl and/or alpha-D-glucosyl (90, 50, 40kDa) were detected. Proteoglycan-like and sulphated proteoglycan-like substances are also detected, mainly in B-EPS. A 68kDa sulphated proteoglycan-like substance contains two glucidic residue types: alpha-D-mannosyl and/or alpha-D-glucosyl and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine. Such heteroproteins are present around the membrane as well as the surface-layer from Archaea and from some bacteria. The glycoprotein and sulphated proteoglycan-like substance are assumed to contribute to anaerobic granule strength, thanks to their ability to perform interactions of various nature (ionic, hydrophobic, Ca2+ as divalent cation bridging, etc.).
