Title of Thesis Production of oligosaccharides from lignocellulosic biomass

Summary Exploration of lignocellulosic biomass for the production of value-added compounds is gaining momentum. Biomass such as peanut

shells, bambara, cowpea and sorghum are some of the indigenous crops of Southern Africa that are yet to be explored for value

addition. Therefore, this study was designed to characterize these underutilized agro-residues for the enzymatic production of

prebiotic xylooligosaccharides (XOS) and their application. A two-step extraction of sodium chlorite-delignified biomass yielded pure

xylan from peanut shells (15.5%), bambara (12.3%), cowpea (13.6%) and sorghum (32.2%). 1H NMR spectroscopy together with

monosaccharide analyses revealed that all the xylans were glucuronoxylan and shared similar functional groups as that of hardwood

glucuronoxylan. Enzymatic hydrolysis of the xylans resulted in the maximum yield of XOS at optimized parameters of 1% substrate

concentration and 10 U enzyme dosage. TLC analysis of the hydrolysates from Thermomyces lanuginosus SSBP GH11 (TlGH11) xylanase

was compared against GH10 and GH30 xylanases regarding their modes of action. It was observed that the properties of XOS were

distinct with different xylanases and GH11 xylanase was more efficient on all the xylans without the release of xylose. MALDI- TOF

MS characterization corroborated with the TLC results and showed signals for both neutral and acidic oligosaccharides. A series of

computational approaches were also used to study the structure of GH10, GH11 and GH30 xylanases and their interactions with

xylan. The in silico investigation suggested that TlGH11 was more suitable for coupling with xylan over GH10 and GH30 xylanases.

The prebiotic efficiency of XOS was evaluated as a functional food supplement in a novel amadumbe- bambara spread and prebiotic

yoghurt formulations. The physicochemical and sensory evaluation of both amadumbe-bambara spread and yoghurt confirmed that

both products have improved traits with higher consumer acceptance.

The candidate has published two papers and one book chapter in peer reviewed scientific journals and has presented his research in

two national and four international conferences.

Title of Thesis Extraction and purification of C-phycocyanin and genome analysis of an indigenous hypersaline cyanobacterium

Summary An indigenous halophilic cyanobacterium capable of producing C-phycocyanin (C-PC), a blue pigment with the high biotechnological

application was isolated from a hypersaline environment in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa. The cyanobacterium was found to have

several unique traits such as its ability to naturally produce a high amount of C-PC (45mg/g), grow at high salinity (120 g/L), fast growth

rate, survive in varying nutrient and light conditions. In this study, a comprehensive polyphasic approach viz., cell morphology, pigment

composition, and complete genome sequence analysis was employed to elucidate the taxonomic position of the isolate. Based on the

genome analysis, the strain was identified as a novel species of the genus Cyanothece, Cluster Euhalothece. The full genome sequencing

has further allowed us to understand the key genes and proteins responsible for its unique properties such as its adaptation

environmental conditions, C-PC synthesis, and stress acclimation. The protei n structure and physiochemical properties of C-PC was

further predicted based on the amino acid sequence using in silico analysis. Furthermore, a cost-effective extraction method for C-PC

with high purity was also optimized. The extracted C -PC showed high antioxidant activity (IC 50 value of 0.540 ± 0.02 mg/mL using the

DPPH assay) and was thermostable up to 45°C at a wide pH range (5.0-8.0). A high yield (>400 mg/mL) of analytical grade C -PC was

achieved, clearly showing its commercial potential for C-PC production. This research provided new knowledge significantly

contributing to the field of biotechnology.

This study has resulted in three peer-reviewed publications and was presented at one national and one international conference.
