l-Ribose is a rare and expensive sugar that can be used as a precursor for the production of l-nucleoside analogues, which are used as antiviral drugs. In this work, we describe a novel way of producing l-ribose from the readily available raw material l-arabinose. This was achieved by introducing l-ribose isomerase activity into l-ribulokinase-deficient Escherichia coli UP1110 and Lactobacillus plantarum BPT197 strains. The process for l-ribose production by resting cells was investigated. The initial l-ribose production rates at 39°C and pH 8 were 0.46 ± 0.01 g g−1 h−1 (1.84 ± 0.03 g l−1 h−1) and 0.27 ± 0.01 g g−1 h−1 (1.91 ± 0.1 g l−1 h−1) for E. coli and for L. plantarum, respectively. Conversions were around 20% at their highest in the experiments. Also partially purified protein precipitates
having both l-arabinose isomerase and l-ribose isomerase activity were successfully used for converting l-arabinose to l-ribose. 相似文献

Staphylococcus saprophyticus strains ATCC 15305, ATCC 35552, and ATCC 49907 were found to require l-proline but not l-arginine for growth in a defined culture medium. All three strains could utilize l-ornithine as a proline source and contained l-ornithine aminotransferase and Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase activities; strains ATCC 35552 and ATCC 49907 could use l-arginine as a proline source and had l-arginase activity. The proline requirement also could be met by l-prolinamide, l-proline methyl ester, and the dipeptides l-alanyl-l-proline and l-leucyl-l-proline. The bacteria exhibited l-proline degradative activity as measured by the formation of Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate. The specific activity of proline degradation was not affected by addition of l-proline or NaCl but was highest in strain ATCC 49907 after growth in Mueller–Hinton broth. A membrane fraction from this
strain had l-proline dehydrogenase activity as detected both by reaction of Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate with 2-aminobenzaldehyde (0.79 nmol min−1 mg−1) and by the proline-dependent reduction of p-iodonitrotetrazolium (20.1 nmol min−1 mg−1). A soluble fraction from this strain had Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase activity (88.8 nmol min−1 mg−1) as determined by the NAD+-dependent oxidation of dl-Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate. Addition of l-proline to several culture media did not increase the growth rate or final yield of bacteria but did stimulate growth during
osmotic stress. When grown with l-ornithine as the proline source, S. saprophyticus was most susceptible to the proline analogues L-azetidine-2-carboylate, 3,4-dehydro-dl-proline, dl-thiazolidine-2-carboxylate, and l-thiazolidine-4-carboxylate. These results indicate that proline uptake and metabolism may be a potential target of antimicrobial
therapy for this organism. 相似文献

Xylose reductase (XR) is a key enzyme in biological xylitol production, and most XRs have broad substrate specificities. During
xylitol production from biomass hydrolysate, non-specific XRs can reduce l-arabinose, which is the second-most abundant hemicellulosic sugar, to the undesirable byproduct arabitol, which interferes
with xylitol crystallization in downstream processing. To minimize the flux from l-arabinose to arabitol, the l-arabinose-preferring, endogenous XR was replaced by a d-xylose-preferring heterologous XR in Candida tropicalis. Then, Bacillus licheniformis
araA and Escherichia coli araB and araD were codon-optimized and expressed functionally in C. tropicalis for the efficient assimilation of l-arabinose. During xylitol fermentation, the control strains BSXDH-3 and KNV converted 9.9 g l-arabinose l−1 into 9.5 and 8.3 g arabitol l−1, respectively, whereas the recombinant strain JY consumed 10.5 g l-arabinose l−1 for cell growth without forming arabitol. Moreover, JY produced xylitol with 42 and 16% higher productivity than BSXDH-3
and KNV, respectively. 相似文献

Production of 3,4-dihydroxy phenyl-l-alanine (l-DOPA) using an Egyptian isolate of halophilic black yeast was studied. Optimum aeration level and incubation period for high
yield production of l-DOPA were 50 ml medium/250 ml flask with 200 rpm and 36 h, respectively. Two new techniques (addition of aniline or NaCl
to the medium) have been investigated to enhance the monophenolase activity and inhibit or reduce diphenolase activity of
tyrosinase to form high yield of l-DOPA without more oxidation to melanin. Addition of aniline to tyrosine medium at 3 μl/ml medium enhanced l-DOPA production 2.9 fold, however, addition of NaCl at 20% showed the same amount of l-DOPA as the control. Peptone and ram horn hydrolysate were studied as nitrogen sources instead of tyrosine in the medium
and they showed good nitrogen sources for l-DOPA production as tyrosine. Finally, addition of aniline (3 μl/ml) to ram horn hydrolysate was economically feasible and
cost effective for l-DOPA production by Egyptian halophilic black yeast. 相似文献

A putative ribose-5-phosphate isomerase (RpiB) from Streptococcus pneumoniae was purified with a specific activity of 26.7 U mg−1 by Hi-Trap Q HP anion exchange and Sephacryl S-300 HR 16/60 gel filtration chromatographies. The native enzyme existed as
a 96-kDa tetramer with activity maxima at pH 7.5 and 35°C. The RpiB exhibited isomerization activity with l-lyxose, l-talose, d-gulose, d-ribose, l-mannose, d-allose, l-xylulose, l-tagatose, d-sorbose, d-ribulose, l-fructose, and d-psicose and exhibited particularly high activity with l-form monosaccharides such as l-lyxose, l-xylulose, l-talose, and l-tagatose. With l-xylulose (500 g l−1) and l-talose (500 g l−1) substrates, the optimum concentrations of RpiB were 300 and 600 U ml−1, respectively. The enzyme converted 500 g l−1
l-xylulose to 350 g l−1
l-lyxose after 3 h, and yielded 450 g l−1
l-tagatose from 500 g l−1
l-talose after 5 h. These results suggest that RpiB from S. pneumoniae can be employed as a potential producer of l-form monosaccharides. 相似文献

The production of l-phenylalanine is conventionally carried out by fermentations that use glucose or sucrose as the carbon source. This work
reports on the use of glycerol as an inexpensive and abundant sole carbon source for producing l-phenylalanine using the genetically modified bacterium Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Fermentations were carried out at 37°C, pH 7.4, using a defined medium in a stirred tank bioreactor at various
intensities of impeller agitation speeds (300–500 rpm corresponding to 0.97–1.62 m s−1 impeller tip speed) and aeration rates (2–8 L min−1, or 1–4 vvm). This highly aerobic fermentation required a good supply of oxygen, but intense agitation (impeller tip speed
~1.62 m s−1) reduced the biomass and l-phenylalanine productivity, possibly because of shear sensitivity of the recombinant bacterium. Production of l-phenylalanine was apparently strongly associated with growth. Under the best operating conditions (1.30 m s−1 impeller tip speed, 4 vvm aeration rate), the yield of l-phenylalanine on glycerol was 0.58 g g−1, or more than twice the best yield attainable on sucrose (0.25 g g−1). In the best case, the peak concentration of l-phenylalanine was 5.6 g L−1, or comparable to values attained in batch fermentations that use glucose or sucrose. The use of glycerol for the commercial
production of l-phenylalanine with E. coli BL21(DE3) has the potential to substantially reduce the cost of production compared to sucrose- and glucose-based fermentations. 相似文献

Bacillus coagulans has been of great commercial interest over the past decade owing to its strong ability of producing optical pure l-lactic acid from both hexose and pentose sugars including l-arabinose with high yield, titer and productivity under thermophilic conditions. The l-arabinose isomerase (L-AI) from Bacillus coagulans was heterologously over-expressed in Escherichia coli. The open reading frame of the L-AI has 1,422 nucleotides encoding a protein with 474 amino acid residues. The recombinant
L-AI was purified to homogeneity by one-step His-tag affinity chromatography. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated
to be 56 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The enzyme was most active at 70°C and pH 7.0. The metal ion Mn2+ was shown to be the best activator for enzymatic activity and thermostability. The enzyme showed higher activity at acidic
pH than at alkaline pH. The kinetic studies showed that the K
m, V
max and k
cat/K
m for the conversion of l-arabinose were 106 mM, 84 U/mg and 34.5 mM−1min−1, respectively. The equilibrium ratio of l-arabinose to l-ribulose was 78:22 under optimal conditions. l-ribulose (97 g/L) was obtained from 500 g/l of l-arabinose catalyzed by the enzyme (8.3 U/mL) under the optimal conditions within 1.5 h, giving at a substrate conversion
of 19.4% and a production rate of 65 g L−1 h−1. 相似文献

Thermoplasma acidophilum utilizes l-rhamnose as a sole carbon source. To determine the metabolic pathway of l-rhamnose in Archaea, we identified and characterized l-rhamnose dehydrogenase (RhaD) in T. acidophilum. Ta0747P gene, which encodes the putative T. acidophilum RhaD (Ta_RhaD) enzyme belonging to the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family, was expressed in E. coli as an active enzyme catalyzing the oxidation of l-rhamnose to l-rhamnono-1,4-lactone. Analysis of catalytic properties revealed that Ta_RhaD oxidized l-rhamnose, l-lyxose, and l-mannose using only NADP+ as a cofactor, which is different from NAD+/NADP+-specific bacterial RhaDs and NAD+-specific eukaryal RhaDs. Ta_RhaD showed the highest activity toward l-rhamnose at 60 °C and pH 7. The K
m and k
cat values were 0.46 mM, 1,341.3 min−1 for l-rhamnose and 0.1 mM, 1,027.2 min−1 for NADP+, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that branched lineages of archaeal RhaD are quite distinct from those of Bacteria
and Eukarya. This is the first report on the identification and characterization of NADP+-specific RhaD. 相似文献

Velvetbean (Mucuna pruriens) plants impede the growth of neighboring plants. One compound, 3-(3′,4′-dihydroxyphenyl)-l-alanine (l-DOPA), is responsible for the allelopathic capacity of velvetbean. This compound is an active allelochemical that decreases
root growth of several plant species. In mammals, l-DOPA is a well-known therapeutic agent for the symptomatic relief of Parkinson’s disease. However, its mode of action in
plants is still not well understood. To address such issues, gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana plants, which had been exposed to l-DOPA, was analyzed using DNA microarrays. After 6 h of l-DOPA exposure, the expression of 110 genes was significantly upregulated, and the expression of 69 genes was significantly
downregulated. These induced genes can be divided into different functional categories, mainly on the basis of subcellular
localization, metabolism, and proteins with a binding function or cofactor requirement. Based on these results, we suggest
that l-DOPA acts by two mechanisms: it influences amino acid metabolism and deregulates metal homeostasis, especially that of iron,
which is required for the fundamental biological processes of all organisms. 相似文献

Factors affecting the production of the rare sugar l-xylulose from xylitol using resting cells were investigated. An E. coli BPT228 strain that recombinantly expresses a gene for xylitol dehydrogenase was used in the experiments. The ratio of xylitol
to l-xylulose was three times lower in the cytoplasm than in the medium. The effects of pH, temperature, shaking speed, and initial
xylitol concentration on l-xylulose production were investigated in shaking flasks using statistical experimental design methods. The highest production
rates were found at high shaking speed and at high temperature (over 44°C). The optimal pH for both productivity and conversion
was between 7.5 and 8.0, and the optimal xylitol concentration was in the range 250–350 g l−1. A specific productivity of 1.09 ± 0.10 g g−1 h−1 was achieved in a bioreactor. The response surface model based on the data from the shake flask experiments predicted the
operation of the process in a bioreactor with reasonable accuracy. 相似文献

A single-stage continuous fermentation process for the production of 2-keto-l-gulonic acid (2KGA) from l-sorbose using Ketogulonigenium vulgare DSM 4025 was developed. The chemostat culture with the dilution rate that was calculated based on the relationship between
the 2KGA production rate and the 2KGA concentration was feasible for production with high concentration of 2KGA. In this system,
112.2 g/L of 2KGA on the average was continuously produced from 114 g/L of l-sorbose. A steady state of the fermentation was maintained for the duration of more than 110 h. The dilution rate was kept
in the range of 0.035 and 0.043 h−1, and the 2KGA productivity was 3.90 to 4.80 g/L/h. The average molar conversion yield of 2KGA from l-sorbose was 91.3%. Under the optimal conditions, l-sorbose concentration was kept at 0 g/L. Meanwhile, the dissolved oxygen level was changing in response to the dilution rate
and 2KGA concentration. In the dissolved oxygen (DO) range of 16% to 58%, it was revealed that the relationship between DO
and D possessed high degree of positive correlation under the l-sorbose limiting condition (complete consumption of l-sorbose). Increasing D closer to the critical value for washing out point of the continuous fermentation, DO value tended to be gradually increased
up to 58%. In conclusion, an efficient and reproducible continuous fermentation process for 2KGA production by K. vulgare DSM 4025 could be developed using a medium containing baker’s yeast without using a second helper microorganism. 相似文献

Biosynthesis of guanosine 5′-diphosphate-l-fucose (GDP-l-fucose) requires NADPH as a reducing cofactor. In this study, endogenous NADPH regenerating enzymes such as glucose-6-phosphate
dehydrogenase (G6PDH), isocitrate dehydrogenase (Icd), and NADP+-dependent malate dehydrogenase (MaeB) were overexpressed to increase GDP-l-fucose production in recombinant Escherichia coli. The effects of overexpression of each NADPH regenerating enzyme on GDP-l-fucose production were investigated in a series of batch and fed-batch fermentations. Batch fermentations showed that overexpression
of G6PDH was the most effective for GDP-l-fucose production. However, GDP-l-fucose production was not enhanced by overexpression of G6PDH in the glucose-limited fed-batch fermentation. Hence, a glucose
feeding strategy was optimized to enhance GDP-l-fucose production. Fed-batch fermentation with a pH-stat feeding mode for sufficient supply of glucose significantly enhanced
GDP-l-fucose production compared with glucose-limited fed-batch fermentation. A maximum GDP-l-fucose concentration of 235.2 ± 3.3 mg l−1, corresponding to a 21% enhancement in the GDP-l-fucose production compared with the control strain overexpressing GDP-l-fucose biosynthetic enzymes only, was achieved in the pH-stat fed-batch fermentation of the recombinant E. coli overexpressing G6PDH. It was concluded that sufficient glucose supply and efficient NADPH regeneration are crucial for NADPH-dependent
GDP-l-fucose production in recombinant E. coli. 相似文献

l-aspartate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.21; l-AspDH) is a rare member of amino acid dehydrogenase superfamily and so far, two thermophilic enzymes have been reported.
In our study, an ORF PA3505 encoding for a putative l-AspDH in the mesophilic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 was identified, cloned, and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The homogeneously purified enzyme (PaeAspDH) was a dimeric protein with a molecular mass of about 28 kDa exhibiting a very
high specific activity for l-aspartate (l-Asp) and oxaloacetate (OAA) of 127 and 147 U mg−1, respectively. The enzyme was capable of utilizing both nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) as coenzyme. PaeAspDH showed a T
m value of 48°C for 20 min that was improved to approximately 60°C by the addition of 0.4 M NaCl or 30% glycerol. The apparent
K
m values for OAA, NADH, and ammonia were 2.12, 0.045, and 10.1 mM, respectively; comparable results were observed with NADPH.
The l-Asp production system B consisting of PaeAspDH, Bacillus subtilis malate dehydrogenase and E. coli fumarase, achieved a high level of l-Asp production (625 mM) from fumarate in fed-batch process with a molar conversion yield of 89.4%. Furthermore, the fermentative
production system C released 33 mM of l-Asp after 50 h by using succinate as carbon source. This study represented an extensive characterization of the mesophilic
AspDH and its potential applicability for efficient and attractive production of l-Asp. Our novel production systems are also hopeful for developing the new processes for other compounds production. 相似文献

Glutaminase-free l-asparaginase is known to be an excellent anticancer agent. In the present study, statistically based experimental designs
were applied to maximize the production of glutaminase-free l-asparaginase from Pectobacterium carotovorum MTCC 1428. Nine components of the medium were examined for their significance on the production of l-asparaginase using the Plackett–Burman experimental design. The medium components, viz., glucose, l-asparagine, KH2PO4, and MgSO4·7H2O, were screened based on their high confidence levels (P < 0.04). The optimum levels of glucose, l-asparagine, KH2PO4, and MgSO4·7H2O were found to be 2.076, 5.202, 1.773, and 0.373 g L−1, respectively, using the central composite experimental design. The maximum specific activity of l-asparaginase in the optimized medium was 27.88 U mg−1 of protein, resulting in an overall 8.3-fold increase in the production compared to the unoptimized medium. 相似文献

A non-characterized gene, previously proposed as the d-tagatose-3-epimerase gene from Rhodobacter sphaeroides, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Its molecular mass was estimated to be 64 kDa with two identical subunits. The enzyme specificity was highest with d-fructose and decreased for other substrates in the order: d-tagatose, d-psicose, d-ribulose, d-xylulose and d-sorbose. Its activity was maximal at pH 9 and 40°C while being enhanced by Mn2+. At pH 9 and 40°C, 118 g d-psicose l−1 was produced from 700 g d-fructose l−1 after 3 h.

Escherichia coli W was genetically engineered to produce l-alanine as the primary fermentation product from sugars by replacing the native d-lactate dehydrogenase of E. coli SZ194 with alanine dehydrogenase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus. As a result, the heterologous alanine dehydrogenase gene was integrated under the regulation of the native d-lactate dehydrogenase (ldhA) promoter. This homologous promoter is growth-regulated and provides high levels of expression during anaerobic fermentation.
Strain XZ111 accumulated alanine as the primary product during glucose fermentation. The methylglyoxal synthase gene (mgsA) was deleted to eliminate low levels of lactate and improve growth, and the catabolic alanine racemase gene (dadX) was deleted to minimize conversion of l-alanine to d-alanine. In these strains, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidation during alanine biosynthesis is obligately
linked to adenosine triphosphate production and cell growth. This linkage provided a basis for metabolic evolution where selection
for improvements in growth coselected for increased glycolytic flux and alanine production. The resulting strain, XZ132, produced
1,279 mmol alanine from 120 g l−1 glucose within 48 h during batch fermentation in the mineral salts medium. The alanine yield was 95% on a weight basis (g
g−1 glucose) with a chiral purity greater than 99.5% l-alanine.

The administration of l-DOPA is the standard treatment for Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the symptomatic relief provided by long-term administration
may be compromised by l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) that presents as adverse fluctuations in motor responsiveness and progressive loss of motor
control. In the later stages of PD, raphestriatal serotonin neurons compensate for the loss of nigrostriatal dopamine (DA)
neurons by converting and releasing DA derived from exogenous l-DOPA. Since the serotonin system does not have an autoregulatory mechanism for DA, raphe-mediated striatal DA release may
fluctuate dramatically and precede the development of LID. The 6-hydroxydopamine lesioned rats were treated with l-DOPA (6 mg/kg) and benserazide (15 mg/kg) daily for 3 weeks to allow for the development of abnormal involuntary movement
score (AIMs). In rats with LID, chronic treatment with l-DOPA increased striatal DA levels compared with control rats. We also observed a relative increase in the expression of striatal
l-amino-acid decarboxylase (AADC) in LID rats, even though tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression did not increase. The administration
of l-DOPA also increased striatal serotonin immunoreactivity in LID rats compared to control rats. Striatal DA and 5-hydroxytryptamine
(5-HT) levels were negatively correlated in l-DOPA-treated rats. These results of this study reveal that 5-HT contributes to LID. Striatal DA positively influences LID,
while 5-HT is negatively associated with LID. Finally, we suggest that by strategic modification of the serotonin system it
may be possible to attenuate the adverse effects of chronic l-DOPA therapy in PD patients. 相似文献

The l-phenylalanine (l-Phe) production by Escherichia
coli WSH-Z06 (pAP-B03) was frequently prevented by bacteriophage BP-1 infestation. To cope with the bacteriophage BP-1 problem
for an improved l-Phe production, one bacteriophage BP-1-resistant mutant, E. coli BR-42, was obtained from 416 mutant colonies of E. coli WSH-Z06 after N-methyl-N’-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) mutagenesis by selection for resistance to bacteriophage BP-1. The recombinant E. coli BR-42-carrying plasmid pAP-B03 had a high capacity in l-Phe production and a remarkable tolerance to 1 × 1010 pfu (plaque-forming unit)/ml bacteriophage stock. For an enhanced l-Phe production by E. coli BR-42 (pAP-B03), the effects of different feeding strategies including pH–stat, constant rate feeding, linear decreasing
rate feeding, and exponential feeding on l-Phe production were investigated; and a two-stage feeding strategy, namely exponential feeding at μ
set = 0.18 h−1 in the first 20 h and a following linear varying rate feeding with F = (−0.55 × t + 18.6) ml/h, was developed to improve l-Phe production. With this two-stage feeding approach, a maximum l-Phe titer of 57.63 g/l with a high l-Phe productivity (1.15 g/l/h) was achieved, which was 15% higher than the highest level (50 g/l) reported so far according
to our knowledge. The recombinant E. coli BR-42 (pAP-B03) is a potential l-Phe over-producer in substantial prevention of bacteriophage BP-1 infestation compared to its parent strain WSH-Z06 (pAP-B03). 相似文献

In this study, the effects of citrate addition on d-ribose production were investigated in batch culture of a transketolase-deficient strain, Bacillus subtilis EC2, in shake flasks and bioreactors. Batch cultures in shake flasks and a 5-l reactor indicated that supplementation with
0.2–0.5 g l−1 of citrate enhanced d-ribose production. When B. subtilis EC2 was cultivated in a 15-l reactor in a complex medium, the d-ribose concentration was 70.9 g l−1 with a ribose yield of 0.497 mol mol−1. When this strain was grown in the same medium supplemented with 0.3 g l−1 of citrate, 83.4 g l−1 of d-ribose were obtained, and the ribose yield was increased to 0.587 mol mol−1. Addition of citrate reduced the activities of pyruvate kinase and phosphofructokinase, while it increased those of glucose-6-phosphate
dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. Metabolic flux distribution in the stationary phase indicated that citrate
addition resulted in increased fluxes in the pentose phosphate pathway and TCA cycle, and decreased fluxes in the glycolysis
and acetate pathways. 相似文献

Guanosine 5′-triphosphate (GTP) is the key substrate for biosynthesis of guanosine 5′-diphosphate (GDP)-l-fucose. In this study, improvement of GDP-l-fucose production was attempted by manipulating the biosynthetic pathway for guanosine nucleotides in recombinant Escherichia coli-producing GDP-l-fucose. The effects of overexpression of inosine 5′-monophosphate (IMP) dehydrogenase, guanosine 5′-monophosphate (GMP) synthetase
(GuaB and GuaA), GMP reductase (GuaC) and guanosine–inosine kinase (Gsk) on GDP-l-fucose production were investigated in a series of fed-batch fermentations. Among the enzymes tested, overexpression of Gsk
led to a significant improvement of GDP-l-fucose production. Maximum GDP-l-fucose concentration of 305.5 ± 5.3 mg l−1 was obtained in the pH-stat fed-batch fermentation of recombinant E. coli-overexpressing Gsk, which corresponds to a 58% enhancement in the GDP-l-fucose production compared with the control strain overexpressing GDP-l-fucose biosynthetic enzymes. Such an enhancement of GDP-l-fucose production could be due to the increase in the intracellular level of GMP. 相似文献
