Substrate dependent bioaccumulation of cadmium by growing yeastCandida utilis

The ability of growing yeastCandida utilis to accumulate cadmium ions from the cultivation broth depends on the carbon source used; xylose and glucose were tested here. For the two substrates, the course of cadmium bioaccumulation and total uptake were quite different. With glucose the maximum of bioaccumulation was about ten times higher than with xylose. The data were consistent with a simple mathematical model of process dynamics which assumes a Freudlich isotherm to describe the biosorption equilibrium and first-order dynamics to simulated the transient state.     

A model of xylitol production by the yeast Candida mogii

Production of xylitol from xylose in batch fermentations of Candida mogii ATCC 18364 is discussed in the presence of glucose as the cosubstrate. Various initial ratios of glucose and xylose concentrations are assessed for their impact on yield and rate of production of xylitol. Supplementation with glucose at the beginning of the fermentation increased the specific growth rate, biomass yield and volumetric productivity of xylitol compared with fermentation that used xylose as the sole carbon source. A mathematical model is developed for eventual use in predicting the product formation rate and yield. The model parameters were estimated from experimental observations, using a genetic algorithm. Batch fermentations, which were carried out with xylose alone and a mixture of xylose and glucose, were used to validate the model. The model fitted well with the experimental data of cell growth, substrate consumption and xylitol production.     

Microbial synthesis of 3-dehydroshikimic acid: a comparative analysis of D-xylose, L-arabinose, and D-glucose carbon sources.

3-Dehydroshikimic acid is a hydroaromatic precursor to chemicals ranging from L-phenylalanine to adipic acid. The concentration and yield of 3-dehydroshikimic acid microbially synthesized from various carbon sources has been examined under fed-batch fermentor conditions. Examined carbon sources included D-xylose, L-arabinose, and D-glucose. A mixture consisting of a 3:3:2 molar ratio of glucose/xylose/arabinose was also evaluated as a carbon source to model the composition of pentose streams potentially resulting from the hydrolysis of corn fiber. Escherichia coli KL3/pKL4.79B, which overexpresses feedback-insensitive DAHP synthase, synthesizes higher concentrations and yields of 3-dehydroshikimic acid when either xylose, arabinose, or the glucose/xylose/arabinose mixture is used as a carbon source relative to when glucose alone is used as a carbon source. E. coli KL3/pKL4.124A, which overexpresses transketolase and feedback-insensitive DAHP synthase, synthesizes higher concentrations and yields of 3-dehydroshikimic acid when the glucose/xylose/arabinose mixture is used as the carbon source relative to when either xylose or glucose is used as a carbon source. Observed high-titer, high-yielding synthesis of 3-dehydroshikimic acid from the glucose/xylose/arabinose mixture carries significant ramifications relevant to the employment of corn fiber in the microbial synthesis of value-added chemicals.     

Modelling of simultaneous production of polygalacturonase and exopolysaccharide by Aureobasidium pullulans ATHUM 2915

The polymorphic fungus Aureobasidium pullulans ATHUM 2915, produced significant quantities of extracellular polygalacturonase and polysaccharide when grown, under controlled conditions, in liquid medium with pectin and glucose as carbon sources and nitrogen source as limited factor. Growth, substrate consumption and products formation were simulated by a structured mathematical model, which was compared with the experimental data from batch culture in a chemostat. This model was applied successfully in the study of some essential parameters influenced the process at various pH values.     

Kinetic models for growth and product formation on multiple substrates

Hydrolyzates from lignocellulosic biomass contain a mixture of simple sugars; the predominant ones being glucose, cellobiose and xylose. The fermentation of such mixtures to ethanol or other chemicals requires an understanding of how each of these substrates is utilized.Candida lusitaniae can efficiently produce ethanol from both glucose and cellobiose and is an attractive organism for ethanol production. Experiments were performed to obtain kinetic data for ethanol production from glucose, cellobiose and xylose. Various combinations were tested in order to determine kinetic behavior with multiple carbon sources. Glucose was shown to repress the utilization of cellobiose and xylose. However, cellobiose and xylose were simultaneously utilized after glucose depletion. Maximum volumetric ethanol production rates were 0.56, 0.33, and 0.003 g/L-h from glucose, cellobiose and xylose, respectively. A kinetic model based on cAMP mediated catabolite repression was developed. This model adequately described the growth and ethanol production from a mixture of sugars in a batch culture.     

Comparative study of xylose(glucose) isomerase synthesis in Arthrobacter strains

The substrate specificity of isomerases produced by six strains of Arthrobacter sp. was studied. The role of utilizable carbon sources in controlling enzyme biosynthesis was established. All of the strains studied were found to produce xylose isomerases efficiently, converting D-xylose into D-xylulose and D-glucose into D-fructose. All but A. ureafaciens B-6 strains showed low activity toward D-ribose, Arthrobacter sp. B-5 was slightly active toward L-arabinose, and A. ureafaciens B-6 and Arthrobacter sp. B-2239, toward L-rhamnose. In Arthrobacter sp. B-5, the synthesis of xylose/glucose isomerase was constitutive (i.e., it was not suppressed by readily metabolizable carbon sources). The synthesis of xylose/glucose isomerase induced by D-xylose in Arthrobacter sp. strains B-2239, B-2240, B-2241, and B-2242 and by D-xylose and xylitol in A. ureafaciens B-6 was suppressed by readily metabolizable carbon sources in a concentration-dependent manner. The data obtained suggest that D-xylose and/or its metabolites are involved in the regulation of xylose/glucose isomerase synthesis in the Arthrobacter sp. strains B-5, B-2239, B-2240, and B-2241.     

Absence of diauxie during simultaneous utilization of glucose and Xylose by Sulfolobus acidocaldarius

Sulfolobus acidocaldarius utilizes glucose and xylose as sole carbon sources, but its ability to metabolize these sugars simultaneously is not known. We report the absence of diauxie during growth of S. acidocaldarius on glucose and xylose as co-carbon sources. The presence of glucose did not repress xylose utilization. The organism utilized a mixture of 1 g/liter of each sugar simultaneously with a specific growth rate of 0.079 h(-1) and showed no preference for the order in which it utilized each sugar. The organism grew faster on 2 g/liter xylose (0.074 h(-1)) as the sole carbon source than on an equal amount of glucose (0.022 h(-1)). When grown on a mixture of the two carbon sources, the growth rate of the organism increased from 0.052 h(-1) to 0.085 h(-1) as the ratio of xylose to glucose increased from 0.25 to 4. S. acidocaldarius appeared to utilize a mixture of glucose and xylose at a rate roughly proportional to their concentrations in the medium, resulting in complete utilization of both sugars at about the same time. Gene expression in cells grown on xylose alone was very similar to that in cells grown on a mixture of xylose and glucose and substantially different from that in cells grown on glucose alone. The mechanism by which the organism utilized a mixture of sugars has yet to be elucidated.     

Kinetic analysis of the uptake of glucose and corn oil used as carbon sources in batch cultures of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Gibberella fujikuroi</Emphasis>

This study determined the specific uptake rate of glucose and corn oil substrates used as carbon sources in batch cultures of Gibberella fujikuroi. We tested three biological models of growth rate: Monod, logistic and lag-exponential. With respect to the substrate consumption rate, we tested two models: constant cell yield (CCY) and law of mass action (LMA). The experimental data obtained from the culture with glucose as substrate correlated satisfactorily with the logistic/LMA model, indicating that the cell yield was variable. In the case of corn oil as carbon source, considering total residual lipids as substrate in the culture broth, the model with the best correlation was the lag-exp/CCY model. The quantification by GC of the three main fatty acids (linoleic, oleic and palmitic) in the culture medium showed a cumulative behavior, with a maximum concentration of each acid at 36 h. We established a more explicit mechanism of the consumption of corn oil, consisting of two stages: generation of fatty acids by hydrolysis and consumption by cellular uptake. The kinetic of hydrolysable lipids was of first order. We found that the hydrolysis rate of corn oil is not a limiting factor for the uptake of fatty acids by the microorganism. We also established, based on the analysis of the identical mathematical structure of consumption kinetics, that the uptake of fatty acids is faster than the uptake of glucose.     

The effect of CreA in glucose and xylose catabolism in<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Aspergillus nidulans</Emphasis>

The catabolism of glucose and xylose was studied in a wild type and creA deleted (carbon catabolite de-repressed) strain of Aspergillus nidulans. Both strains were cultivated in bioreactors with either glucose or xylose as the sole carbon source, or in the presence of both sugars. In the cultivations on single carbon sources, it was demonstrated that xylose acted as a carbon catabolite repressor (xylose cultivations), while the enzymes in the xylose utilisation pathway were also subject to repression in the presence of glucose (glucose cultivations). In the wild type strain growing on the sugar mixture, glucose repression of xylose utilisation was observed; with xylose utilisation occurring only after glucose was depleted. This phenomenon was not seen in the creA deleted strain, where glucose and xylose were catabolised simultaneously. Measurement of key metabolites and the activities of key enzymes in the xylose utilisation pathway revealed that xylose metabolism was occurring in the creA deleted strain, even at high glucose concentrations. Conversely, in the wild type strain, activities of the key enzymes for xylose metabolism increased only when the effects of glucose repression had been relieved. Xylose was both a repressor and an inducer of xylanases at the same time. The creA mutation seemed to have pleiotropic effects on carbohydratases and carbon catabolism.     

Specific ethanol production rate in ethanologenic Escherichia coli strain KO11 Is limited by pyruvate decarboxylase

Modification of ethanol productivity and yield, using mineral medium supplemented with glucose or xylose as carbon sources, was studied in ethanologenic Escherichia coli KO11 by increasing the activity of five key carbon metabolism enzymes. KO11 efficiently converted glucose or xylose to ethanol with a yield close to 100% of the theoretical maximum when growing in rich medium. However, when KO11 ferments glucose or xylose in mineral medium, the ethanol yields decreased to only 70 and 60%, respectively. An increase in GALP(Ec) (permease of galactose-glucose-xylose) or PGK(Ec) (phosphoglycerate kinase) activities did not change xylose or glucose and ethanol flux. However, when PDC(Zm) (pyruvate decarboxylase from Zymomonas mobilis) activity was increased 7-fold, the yields of ethanol from glucose or xylose were increased to 85 and 75%, respectively, and organic acid formation rates were reduced. Furthermore, as a response to a reduction in acetate and ATP yield, and a limited PDC(Zm) activity, an increase in PFK(Ec) (phosphofructokinase) or PYK(Bs) (pyruvate kinase from Bacillus stearothermophilus) activity drastically reduced glucose or xylose consumption and ethanol formation flux. This experimental metabolic control analysis showed that ethanol flux in KO11 is negatively controlled by phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase, and positively influenced by the PDC(Zm) activity level.
