产碱性纤维素酶菌株的选育和酶合成基本特性

芽孢杆菌x－6菌株经甲基磺酸乙酯（EMS）和紫外线（UV）复会诱变,从其万古霉素（Vm）抗性突变体中选育获得一突变株EV23,所产生的碱性核甲基纤维素酶（CMCase）酶活力由原来的0．84u／ml提高到3.53u／ml。EV23菌株所产该酶基本为组成性地合成纤维素酶,酶合成明显表现出抗降解物阻遏的特点,以葡萄糖为碳源培养,4％浓度时酶合成水平最高。酶合成效率受菌体生长速率影响较大。在高浓度易代谢基质和三羧酸循环中间物存在下,酶合成将受到一定程度的阻遏。酶合成还与能量代谢有关,探讨了外源ATP、cAMP对     

环腺苷酸(cAMP)对粗柄羊肚菌菌丝生长和菌核发生的影响

通过外源添加环腺苷酸(cAMP)、腺苷酸环化酶激活剂氟化钠(NaF)和cAMP降解产物腺苷酸(AMP),研究了cAMP对粗柄羊肚菌菌丝生长和菌核发生的影响,并测定了不同菌核发育阶段培养物的胞内cAMP浓度。结果表明:在测试浓度范围内,cAMP对粗柄羊肚菌菌丝生长影响不显著,但显著抑制该真菌菌核的发生。菌核数量与外源添加的cAMP和NaF具有明显的剂量负相关性。然而,AMP显著促进粗柄羊肚菌菌丝生长,却没有明显影响其菌核发生。培养物胞内cAMP浓度随着培养时间的延长而增加,与外源添加cAMP抑制菌核发生的结果一致。本研究为羊肚菌菌核发生的分子机制研究提供理论支持。     

氨茶碱与柠檬酸盐协同作用促进环磷酸腺苷发酵生产

目的: 探究通过抑制磷酸二酯酶活性促进cAMP发酵合成的工艺方法。方法: 在7 L发酵罐上进行添加氨茶碱的发酵实验,通过对发酵主要参数、关键酶活性、能量代谢水平等进行分析,针对性提出了氨茶碱与柠檬酸盐协同作用促进cAMP合成的发酵工艺。结果: 与对照相比,添加5 mg/L氨茶碱批次的cAMP产量提高25.9%,副产物腺苷浓度减少41.6%,两批次中腺苷酸环化酶和琥珀腺苷酸脱氢酶活性无显著改变,而磷酸二酯酶和5'-核苷酸酶活性明显下降。能量代谢分析结果表明,两批次的胞内ATP/AMP相比于对照批次明显降低,而AMP水平却显著上升,ATP合成水平成为限制产物积累的主要因素。氨茶碱与柠檬酸盐协同添加的cAMP发酵工艺中,cAMP产量达到4.48 g/L,比单独添加柠檬酸钠和氨茶碱分别提高22.1%和13.8%,副产物腺苷浓度仅为0.98 g/L,分别降低51.7%和25.3%。结论: 氨茶碱抑制了磷酸二酯酶和5'-核苷酸酶活性,减少cAMP分解和副产物合成,显著提高cAMP产量,然而ATP合成水平成为产物积累的限制因素。氨茶碱与柠檬酸盐协同添加工艺将抑制磷酸二酯酶活性和提高能量代谢水平相结合,进一步促进了产物发酵合成。     

紫云英根瘤菌109菌株吸氢的诱导表达——核苷、核苷酸与烟酸的促进效应

核苷酸和烟酸的添加,使紫云英根瘤菌109氢酶吸氢活性表达增加。cAMP(1 mmol/L),烟酸(70 mmol/L)的存在,缓解了葡萄糖酸钠或果糖引起的吸氢活性阻遏,cAMP的解阻遏效应在年轻的菌体(48 h)表现较为明显。但以MB为受体的破碎细胞吸氢活性则未见增加,烟酸的促进效应受到氯霉素(40μg/ml)的抑制。其他核苷或核苷酸,如腺嘌呤,尿嘧啶,ATP,ADP,AMP,UMP,UTP都能促进吸氢活性的表达。诱导氢酶前,细胞ATP库已处于低水平,并保持稳定,添加琥珀酸盐后,ATP库水平提高,吸氢活性表达受抑。     

寡霉素处理下细胞外ATP和细胞内ATP的关系及其对细胞死亡调节作用的研究

以烟草悬浮细胞BY~(-2)为材料,利用FoF1-ATP合成酶(FoF1-ATPase)抑制剂寡霉素研究了细胞内ATP(i ATP)对胞外ATP(e ATP)水平的影响,以及施加外源ATP对i ATP水平和细胞死亡的调节作用。结果表明,随着寡霉素浓度的增加(5、10、25、50μmol·L~(-1)),烟草悬浮细胞的i ATP含量逐渐下降,e ATP含量也随之减少,且细胞死亡水平在较高寡霉素处理浓度下有明显上升。同时,随着寡霉素处理时间的增加(0.5、1、3、5 h),烟草悬浮细胞的i ATP含量和e ATP含量也呈现出不同程度的下降,而细胞死亡水平则有所增加。施加外源ATP能够缓解寡霉素引起的细胞i ATP水平的下降和细胞死亡水平的上升。上述结果表明,e ATP水平受到了i ATP水平的影响,而e ATP也在线粒体ATP合成受到抑制时调控i ATP和细胞死亡的发生。     

胞外三磷酸腺苷通过一氧化氮调节镉诱导的氧化压力和细胞死亡

采用液体悬浮培养方法,研究胞外三磷酸腺苷(ATP)通过一氧化碳(NO)调节镉诱导对烟草(Nicotiana tabacum L.)悬浮细胞氧化压力和死亡水平的影响。结果显示,镉离子(Cd^2+)可以以剂量依赖的模式引起烟草悬浮细胞氧化压力和死亡水平的上升,而施加外源ATP可有效缓解Cd^2+诱导的氧化压力和细胞死亡。进一步研究发现,和外源ATP的缓解作用相似,NO的供体硝普钠(SNP)同样可以缓解Cd^2+诱导的氧化压力和细胞死亡水平的上升;且NO合成抑制剂(L-NAME)可部分解除外源ATP的缓解作用。研究结果表明外源ATP可通过NO调节镉诱导的氧化压力和细胞死亡。     

多胺对离体培养条件下丛枝菌根真菌生长发育的影响*

研究离体培养条件下多胺 (PUT,SPD,SPM) 及多胺生物合成抑制剂 (MGBG) 对丛枝菌根真菌 (Glomus mosseae, Gigaspora margarita) 孢子萌发特性及菌丝生长发育的影响。试验结果表明,3种多胺类物质在50 ~200g/ml浓度范围内,对丛枝菌根真菌生长发育具显著促进作用,而500礸/ml浓度处理对丛枝菌根真菌生长发育表现强烈的抑制效应。MGBG (50 ~500g/ml) 对丛枝菌根真菌生长发育有较强的抑制作用,且可被外源多胺部分解除,但随浓度升高外源多胺的恢复作用降低,500礸/ml时无效。多胺对丛枝菌根真菌生长发育的促进作用因多胺类型及真菌菌种的变化而有不同的最适浓度范围。作者认为丛枝菌根真菌体内内源多胺的含量也许是其生长发育的限制因子。     

青蒿素衍生物抗菌机理研究

前期研究从臭蒿中提取分离出臭蒿抗菌流分Fr.5.2主要成分为青蒿素衍生物。为了研究青蒿素衍生物的抗菌机理,测试Fr.5.2和双氢青蒿素(Dihydroartemisinin,DHA)对烟草链格孢菌的抗菌活性、细胞膜完整度、胞内物质的泄露、菌体和孢子的影响。结果发现:Fr.5.2对烟草链格孢菌最小抑菌浓度(minimum inhibitory concentration,MIC)为1.25 mg/m L,最小杀菌浓度(minimum bactericidal concentration,MBC)为2.5 mg/m L,DHA对烟草链格孢菌的MIC为10 mg/m L,MBC为10 mg/m L。0.625 mg/m L Fr.5.2和2.5 mg/m L DHA作用于烟草链格孢菌,在0~3 h,细胞膜完整度不断下降,胞内核酸大分子不断流失;SEM观察发现菌丝体细胞膜细小、有空洞,孢子表面也有凹陷;Fr.5.2和DHA还可以抑制麦角甾醇的合成,与空白组相比,麦角甾醇的含量分别降低29.77%,28.99%,孢子平均密度提高,但是萌发率降低。这些实验结果表明,青蒿素衍生物能够抑制真菌麦角甾醇的合成,破坏细胞膜,阻碍真菌细胞的新陈代谢,破坏真菌孢子,能有效的抑制、杀死真菌。     

辅助能量物质强化环磷酸腺苷发酵合成机制

微生物代谢过程中,环磷酸腺苷(cAMP)由ATP直接环化形成,强化ATP合成有利于产物的积累。在分批发酵24h添加3g/L-broth丙酮酸钠(辅助能量物质),cAMP浓度达到4. 13g/L,比对照批次提高了24. 4%,发酵性能得到明显改善。对关键酶活性及能量代谢水平的测定结果表明,由于丙酮酸钠的添加,丙酮酸激酶的活性显著下降,而6-磷酸葡萄糖脱氢酶、琥珀腺苷酸合成酶和腺苷酸环化酶等产物合成途径中酶的活性均明显提高;异柠檬酸脱氢酶、琥珀酸脱氢酶和呼吸链脱氢酶等酶活性,以及辅因子NADH/NAD+、ATP/AMP均明显提高。表明添加丙酮酸钠改变了糖酵解和磷酸戊糖途径间的碳流分配,使更多碳流向产物合成途径,同时提高了整体能量代谢水平,更利于ATP的生成,为产物的合成提供了物质和能量基础,进而促进了cAMP的合成与积累。

Regulation of cellulase synthesis in mycelial fungi: Participation of ATP and cyclic AMP

Summary ATP and cAMP in 4 strains of mycelial fungi were determined by luciferin-luciferase system and HPLC respectively. Cellulase synthesis was subject to the dual control of ATP and cAMP. No matter what carbon sourse was used, cellulase synthesis was repressed if intracellular ATP concentration was over 10^-7mg/ml. Exogenous cAMP could increase cellulase synthesis under depression conditions.     

Induction of cellulase in trichoderma reesei grown on lactose

Intracellular concentrations of ATP, cyclic AMP and glucose-6-phosphate were monitored during growth of partially catabolically derepressed strain of Trichoderma reesei CC II in medium containing lactose as the sole carbon source. The induction of cellulase synthesis occured when the concentration of lactose in the medium decreased below 7 mg/ml. The onset of cellulase synthesis was preceded by a transient peak of intracellular concentration of ATP and by the increase of the cyclic AMP contents in the mycelium whereby the intracellular level of glucose-6-phosphate was at its minimum. By keeping the lactose concentration in the medium at 2 mg/ml, it was possible to support the continuation of cellulase synthesis over the prolonged periods without appreciable growth of biomass.     

The role of cyclic nucleotides in the regulation of mitotic activity in SSPE virus-infected human brain tissue.

The intracellular level of cGMP was independent of the rate of cell division in cells derived from virally infected brain tissue. The phosphodiesterase inhibitor R07-2956 (4-dimethoxybenzyl-2-imidazolidinone) increased the intracellular level of cGMP in virally infected brain cells, but it did not effect the level of cAMP. There was no correction between the increase in cGMP levels following addition of R07-2956 and changes in mitotic activity in the brain cell cultures. Experimental manipulations which increased the cAMP level were accompanied by a decreased mitotic rate indicating there was a correlation between mitotic activity and the level of cAMP in the same cells. Raising the intracellular level of cAMP by exogenous db-cAMP or cAMP or the use of other phosphodiesterase inhibitors routinely increased the level of cGMP as well. Conversely increasing the intracellular cGMP level by adding the exogenous cGMP increased the level of both cGMP and cAMP.A tissue culture system was used with the cell line derived from viral infected human brain tissue originally obtained from a patient with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). The intracellular levels of cAMP and cGMP were monitored by radioimmunoassay following manipulation of the system by addition of exogenous cGMP (0.05 mM), addition of exogenous db-cAMP (0.5 mM), or cAMP (0.5 mM) and the use of phosphodiesterase inhibitors: theophylline (1.0 mM), papaverine (50 μg/ml), 4-3-butoxy-4-methoxy benzyl-2-imidozalidinone (R020-1724) and R07-2956. Cell division was monitored in treated and non-treated cultures at 24 h intervals by analyzing the cell number and mitotic index.High levels of cGMP were found in cells which were not actively dividing but high levels were just as apt to be present in dividing cells. There was an inverse relationship between cell division and the level of cAMP.     

Relationship between calcium,cyclic AMP,ATP, and intracellular pH and the capacity of hamster spermatozoa to express hyperactivated motility

Capacitation of hamster caudal spermatozoa at a density of 1 × 10⁶/ml is associated with a progressive rise in cAMP levels that precedes the onset of hyperactivated motility. This increase is not expressed by caput spermatozoa incubated under identical conditions. Both the incidence of hyperactivation and the rise in cAMP levels are severely attenuated in the absence of exogenous calcium. Neither factor is restored to control levels by the addition of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, although in the presence of exogenous calcium, this reagent increased cAMP levels, stimulated percentage motility and advanced the appearance of hyperactivation. Treatment of spermatozoa at a density of 1 × 10⁶/ml with the calmodulin antagonist, calmidazolium (CZ), caused severe disruption of sperm motility and abolished hyperactivation, while causing only a slight reduction in cAMP content. Addition of IBMX in the presence of CZ elevated cAMP content to levels higher than normally observed during capacitation but did not restore either coordinated or hyperactivated motility. To determine both the mechanisms responsible for this elevation of cAMP content and the changes that occur during epididymal maturation to facilitate the expression of this increase, the free cytosolic calcium concentration, ATP levels, and intracellular pH of caput and caudal cells were compared. The calcium content of caudal spermatozoa rose significantly at a time when cAMP levels were increasing, while ATP content and intracellular pH fell. However, the inability of caput spermatozoa to express a rise in cAMP content was not due to deficiencies in any of these factors. These results indicate a positive role for the cAMP rise in the expression of hyperactivated motility and that the fundamental control mechanism governing both these events may be the influx of calcium that accompanies capacitation in this species.     

Lack of effect of oocytectomy on expansion of the porcine cumulus.

Oocyte-cumulus cell complexes (OCC) and complexes with an attached piece of membrana granulosa (C + P), isolated from prepubertal or cyclic gilts stimulated with pregnant mares' serum gonadotrophin, were cultured in media supplemented with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH; 0.01-1.0 micrograms/ml) or forskolin (50-100 mumol/l) for 24 and 32 h. FSH and forskolin each induced dose-dependent cumulus and membrana granulosa expansion. After 2 h of culture, FSH (0.1 microgram/ml) or forskolin (100 mumol/l) increased the contents of intracellular adenosine 3',5'-phosphate (cAMP) in OCC from prepubertal gilts to almost 10 times that in unstimulated complexes. After 24 h of culture in media supplemented with FSH (0.1 microgram/ml) or forskolin (100 mumol/l), the oocytectomized OCC and C + P showed similar expansion to that of the control groups. The intracellular cAMP contents in intact and oocytectomized OCCs were similar in all groups except those treated with FSH, in which the intact OCCs had significantly higher contents than their oocytectomized counterparts (P less than 0.01). After hyaluronidase treatment, cumulus and membrana granulosa cells of intact and oocytectomized OCC and C + P were suspended, except for those of the innermost layers of the corona radiata. The results suggest that increases in cAMP contents and synthesis of an extracellular, hyaluronidase-sensitive mucus by pig OCC and C + P induced by FSH or forskolin are not dependent on the oocyte.     

Pectinase and cellulase enhance the control of Abutilon theophrasti by Colletotrichum coccodes

Inundative mycoherbicidal biocontrol agents are typically insufficiently virulent to be commercially competitive with herbicides in row crop agriculture, and require enhancement. Pectinase and cellulase are typically used by pathogens during infection. Thus, it was hypothesized that adding exogenous cell wall degrading enzymes might enhance fungal infection. Pectinase or cellulase was added to inocula of aqueous chopped mycelial suspensions of a strain of Colletotrichum coccodes for control of Abutilon theophrasti. Plants treated with 5.3×10⁶ C. coccodes propagules mL^-1 and 1.65 U mL^-1 pectinase had more rapid and complete disease development. Similar trend was achieved when 10 U mL^-1 of cellulase were added to 2.2×10⁶ C. coccodes propagules mL^-1. Adding pectinase or cellulase did not increase the host range of the wild-type fungus. The results suggest that there might be value to transforming biocontrol agents to overproduce these enzymes.     

The amounts of adenosine di- and triphosphates bound to H-meromyosin and the adenosinetriphosphatase activity of the H-meromyosin-F-actin-relaxing protein system in the presence and absence of calcium ions. The physiological functions of the two routes of myosin adenosinetriphosphatase in muscle contraction.

The rates of the ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] reaction of the H-meromyosin-F-actin-relaxing protein system were measured in 2 mM MgCl2, 50mM KC1, and 10mM Tris-HC1 at pH 7.8 and 20 degrees in the presence and absence of 0.05-0.1 mM Ca2+ ions. The concentrations of H-meromyosin (HMM) and the F-actin-relaxing protein (F-A-PR) complex were 3.4 and 3 mg/ml, respectively, and the ATPase reaction was coupled with 4 mg/ml of pyruvate kinase [EC 2.7.1.40] and 1 or 20 mM phosphoenolpyruvate to regenerate ATP. The amount of ADP bound to HMM during the ATPase reaction was determined by measuring the amount of ADP remaining in the reaction mixture. The amount of ATP bound to HMM was determined by subtracting the amount of bound ADP from the total amount of nucleotides bound to HMM, which was measured by a rapid flow-dialysis method. The following results were obtained. 1. The ATPase activity of the HMM-F-A-RP system increased linearly with increase in the amount of ATP added, and was independent of the presence of 0.05 mM Ca2+, when the amount of ATP added was less than 1 mole/mole of HMM. In the presence of 0.05 mM Ca2+, the ATPase activity reached a maximal level when 1.2-1.5 mole of ATP was added per mole of HMM, and maintained this level even at 3 moles of added ATP/mole of HMM. In the presence of 3mM EGTA, the ATPase activity decreased with increase in the amount of ATP added, from 1.5 to 3 moles of ATP/mole of HMM, and reached the level of the HMM ATPase reaction at 3 moles of added ATP/mole of HMM. Similar results were observed when the concentration of HMM was maintained at 3.4 mg/ml and the concentration of the F-A-RP complex was decreased from 3 to 1 or 0.5 mg/ml.     

Production of cellulase by Trichoderma reesei from dairy manure

Cellulase production by the fungi Trichoderma reesei was studied using dairy manure as a substrate. Data showed that T. reesei RUT-C30 had higher cellulase production than T. reesei QM 9414 and that a homogenized manure, treated by a blender to reduce fiber size, led to higher cellulase production. The cellulase production was further optimized by growing T. reesei RUT-C30 on homogenized manure. The effects of manure concentration, pH, and temperature on cellulase production were investigated with optimal parameter values determined to be 10 g/l manure (dry basis), 25.5 degrees C, and pH 5.7, respectively. Elimination of CaCl2, MgSO4, nitrogen sources (NH4+ and urea) and trace elements (Fe2+, Zn2+, Co2+ and Mn2+) from the original salt solution had no negative influence on the cellulase production, while phosphate elimination did reduce cellulase production. Based on above results, the final medium composition was simplified with manure additives being KH2PO4, tween-80 and CoCl2 only. Using this medium composition and a reaction time of 6-8 days, a maximum cellulase production activity of 1.74 IU/ml of filter paper activity, 12.22 IU/ml of CMCase activity, and 0.0978 IU/ml of beta-glucosidase was obtained. This filter paper activity is the highest ever reported in cellulase production from agricultural wastes.
