目的:建立黄色短杆菌利用不同碳源生物合成L-亮氨酸的代谢网络模型,并进行代谢网络计量分析.方法:通过对所构建的L-亮氨酸代谢网络模型进行途径分析,确定以果糖、葡萄糖、蔗糖或木糖为碳源时L-亮氨酸生物合成的基元模型、最大理论产率和不同模型的呼吸熵.结果:通过途径分析得到了L-亮氨酸生物合成的基元模型.以果糖、葡萄糖、蔗糖和木糖为碳源时L-亮氨酸的最大理论产率均为66.7%,其对应的最大呼吸熵分别为18、16、19、18.结论:L-亮氨酸理论得率与碳源种类无关;呼吸熵增加,能够有效提高L-亮氨酸合成代谢流,限制菌体量的过量生成.与其他碳源相比,蔗糖能够避免碳架溢流出现,合成L-亮氨酸能量代谢需求低;而葡萄糖能够较好地满足菌体生长和产酸的需求.     

甘油影响红曲菌产色素的碳源选择性探究

红曲菌(Monascus spp.)是我国重要的药食同源微生物,红曲色素(Monascus pigments,MPs)是其主要次级代谢产物之一。有研究表明,甘油可促进红曲菌产MPs,但作用机制不明。以丛毛红曲菌(Monascus pilosus)MS-1为实验菌株,考察甘油与葡萄糖或蔗糖复合对红曲菌产MPs的影响。在不含碳源的合成培养基中,将甘油与葡萄糖或蔗糖复合,采用分光光度法和高效液相色谱法等分析MPs的产量和组分、生物量及发酵液pH。当甘油与葡萄糖复合,添加甘油后发酵液pH、生物量无显著变化(P0.05),总色价显著降低(P0.05)。当2 g/L或40 g/L甘油与蔗糖复合,发酵液pH显著降低而生物量及总色价显著增加(P0.05)。当40 g/L甘油与蔗糖复合时,总色价是仅以蔗糖为碳源时的16.5倍,且MPs同系物数量明显增多(P0.05)。在合成培养基条件下,甘油促进红曲菌产MPs具有碳源种类的选择性。该结果可为研究甘油影响红曲菌产MPs的作用机制提供参考,为甘油用于MPs生产提供依据。     

不同碳源对甘薯(Ipomoea batatas L.Lam.)块根愈伤组织的形成和生长的影响

甘薯块根愈伤组织的形成中,蔗糖,可溶性淀粉和葡萄糖作为碳源效果最好,麦芽糖和果糖次之,木糖仅形成少量的愈伤组织,而半乳糖不能被利用。在愈伤组织的生长上,葡萄糖和蔗糖效果最好,果糖和淀粉次之,木糖和半乳糖均不能被利用。愈伤组织最适生长的蔗糖和葡萄糖浓度为2％左右,浓度增加到8％时,生长几乎全部被抑制。无碳源时,仅形成少量的愈伤组织,但不能促进生长。 愈伤组织中过氧化物酶的同工酶的谱带与块根组织的谱带相同,但前者酶活性较强。不同碳源培养的愈伤组织的酶谱也相同。 以蔗糖和葡萄糖培养时,愈伤组织中可溶性糖含量较高,而其他碳源培养的组织则含量较低。淀粉在麦芽糖和果糖培养的愈伤组织中含量较高,而以其他碳源培养的组织含量较低。     

不同碳源对1株深色有隔内生真菌生长和菌丝镉含量的影响

以1株高耐镉(Cd)深色有隔内生真菌(Dark Septate Endophyte,DSE)——嗜鱼外瓶霉(Exophiala pinsciphila)为供试材料,葡萄糖、果糖、半乳糖、麦芽糖、蔗糖和甘露醇为碳源,Cd(0,25 mg/L)胁迫下开展液体培养,研究不同碳源对DSE生长和菌丝Cd含量的影响。结果表明:无Cd胁迫下,以碳源为葡萄糖时,DSE菌丝生物量、培养液pH值和孢子数最大。Cd胁迫下,DSE菌丝生物量、培养液pH值和孢子数下降,且菌丝生物量与培养液pH值极显著正相关,与Cd含量呈极显著负相关。碳源为葡萄糖时,菌丝Cd含量最低,生物量降幅最小,培养液pH值下降最大。由此可见,供试碳源中,葡萄糖是该DSE菌株嗜鱼外瓶霉的最适宜碳源。

一株乳酸利用、丁酸产生菌的分离与鉴定及代谢特性的初步研究

利用改进型Hungate技术从猪粪中分离到一株乳酸利用、丁酸产生双重功能菌株LB01。常规生化检测表明菌株LB01为革兰氏阳性、严格厌氧菌,能利用葡萄糖、果糖、麦芽糖和乳酸等碳源,并产生大量的气体;16S rRNA序列比对表明其与GenBank中的Megasphaera hominis与Uncultured rumen bacterium 3c3d-18的同源性最高,同源性高达99%。菌株LB01可以利用乳酸,并将其主要转化为丁酸和丙酸,在有葡萄糖的情况下,菌株LB01尚能够利用乙酸并生成丁酸。与乳杆菌K9共培养时,菌株LB01有效地利用了乳杆菌K9代谢过程中产生的乳酸,减缓了由于乳酸积累而造成的pH值下降,并且将乳酸转化为丁酸和丙酸。这些代谢特征表明菌株LB01是一株具有潜在应用价值的肠道益生菌,它能够利用乳酸和乙酸(补充额外能量),能有效地防止乳酸和乙酸的积累,同时生成包括丁酸在内有益的短链脂肪酸,调控后肠道pH,营造着微酸的环境。     

葡萄糖和麦芽糖碳源底物对粪产碱杆菌合成凝胶多糖的胞内代谢流影响*

麦芽糖和葡萄糖对粪产碱杆菌发酵合成凝胶多糖有着显著的影响,为了详细分析两种底物对凝胶多糖合成的影响机制,利用恒化培养实验及稳态碳平衡代谢分析,研究发现在稀释速率为0.1h^-1时,利用麦芽糖和葡萄糖为碳源底物的条件下粪产碱杆菌的微观代谢途径通量有较大的差异。以麦芽糖为底物时凝胶多糖的摩尔得率为53.8%,比葡萄糖为碳源时的摩尔得率(36.9%)高出了45.8%以上。同时以麦芽糖为碳源时HMP途径的绝对代谢通量比葡萄糖时的通量提升了40%以上。这条途径通量的增加,提升了NADPH还原力供给速率,促进了依赖于还原力NADPH的凝胶多糖合成途径通量,提升了碳源底物向产物的摩尔转化速率。而且代谢流分析结果显示ED途径通量和能量提供也是影响粪产碱杆菌凝胶多糖合成效率的关键因素。麦芽糖作为碳源底物过程中维持的较低的残留葡萄糖浓度解除了高葡萄糖浓度条件下对凝胶多糖合成的抑制,能够实现更高通量的ATP能量提供效率,更加促进了凝胶多糖合成通量。

The influence of type and concentration of the carbon source on production of citric acid by Aspergillus niger

Summary The influence of various carbon sources and their concentration on the production of citrate by Aspergillus niger has been investigated. The sugars maltose, sucrose, glucose, mannose and fructose (in the given order) were carbon sources giving high yields of citric acid. Optimal yields were observed at sugar concentrations of 10% (w/v), with the exception of glucose (7.5%). No citric acid was produced on media containing less than 2.5% sugar. Precultivation of A. niger on 1% sucrose and transference to a 14% concentration of various other sugars induced citrate accumulation. This could be blocked by the addition of cycloheximide, an inhibitor of de novo protein synthesis. This induction was achieved using maltose, sucrose, glucose, mannose and fructose, and also by some other carbon sources (e.g. glycerol) that gave no citric acid accumulation in direct fermentation. Precultivation of A. niger at high (14%) sucrose concentrations and subsequent transfer to the same concentrations of various other carbohydrates, normally not leading to citric acid production, led to formation of citrate. Endogenous carbon sources were also converted to citrate under these conditions. A 14%-sucrose precultivated mycelium continued producing some citrate upon transfer to 1% sugar. These results indicate that high concentrations of certain carbon sources are required for high citrate yields, because they induce the appropriate metabolic imbalance required for acidogenesis.     

Homofermentative production of optically pure <Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">l</Emphasis>-lactic acid from sucrose and mixed sugars by batch fermentation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Enterococcus faecalis</Emphasis> RKY1

In the present study, lactic acid fermentation was carried out by batch culture of Enterococcus faecalis RKY1 using sucrose and mixed sugars as the major substrate. Maximum lactic acid productivity (5.2 g/L/h) was recorded when 50 and 100 g/L of sucrose were used as a carbon source. Sucrose concentration higher than 150 g/L resulted in the decrease of lactic acid productivity due to inhibition by high substrate concentration, but lactic acid productivity was remained > 3.0 g/L/h until the sucrose used for lactic acid fermentation increased up to 150 g/L. L-Lactic acid content of the total lactic acid produced from sucrose and mixed sugars was higher than 98%. When the fermentation media contained sucrose, the kinetic parameters showing specific rates such as μ, qS, and qP were relatively lower than those of fermentation using glucose as a sole carbon source, which might be due to additional time requirement to induce invertase enzyme for utilization of sucrose. There was no carbon catabolite repression observed when the sugar mixtures containing sucrose, glucose, and/ or fructose were used as a carbon source for lactic acid fermentation by E. faecalis RKY1.     

Production of mannitol and lactic acid by fermentation with Lactobacillus intermedius NRRL B-3693

Lactobacillus intermedius B-3693 was selected as a good producer of mannitol from fructose after screening 72 bacterial strains. The bacterium produced mannitol, lactic acid, and acetic acid from fructose in pH-controlled batch fermentation. Typical yields of mannitol, lactic acid, and acetic acid from 250 g/L fructose were 0.70, 0.16, and 0.12 g, respectively per g of fructose. The fermentation time was greatly dependent on fructose concentration but the product yields were not dependent on fructose level. Fed-batch fermentation decreased the time of maximum mannitol production from fructose (300 g/L) from 136 to 92 h. One-third of fructose could be replaced with glucose, maltose, galactose, mannose, raffinose, or starch with glucoamylase (simultaneous saccharification and fermentation), and two-thirds of fructose could be replaced with sucrose. L. intermedius B-3693 did not co-utilize lactose, cellobiose, glycerol, or xylose with fructose. It produced lactic acid and ethanol but no acetic acid from glucose. The bacterium produced 21.3 +/- 0.6 g lactic acid, 10.5 +/- 0.3 g acetic acid, and 4.7 +/- 0.0 g ethanol per L of fermentation broth from dilute acid (15% solids, 0.5% H(2)SO(4), 121 degrees C, 1 h) pretreated enzyme (cellulase, beta-glucosidase) saccharified corn fiber hydrolyzate.     

Influence of carbon source on α-amylase production by Aspergillus oryzae

The influence of the carbon source on alpha-amylase production by Aspergillus oryzae was quantified in carbon-limited chemostat cultures. The following carbon sources were investigated: maltose, maltodextrin (different chain lengths), glucose, fructose, galactose, sucrose, glycerol, mannitol and acetate. A. oryzae did not grow on galactose as the sole carbon source, but galactose was co-metabolized together with glucose. Relative to that on low glucose concentration (below 10 mg/l), productivity was found to be higher during growth on maltose and maltodextrins, whereas it was lower during growth on sucrose, fructose, glycerol, mannitol and acetate. During growth on acetate there was no production of alpha-amylase, whereas addition of small amounts of glucose resulted in alpha-amylase production. A possible induction by alpha-methyl-D-glucoside during growth on glucose was also investigated, but this compound was not found to be a better inducer of a-amylase production than glucose. The results strongly indicate that besides acting as a repressor via the CreA protein, glucose acts as an inducer.     

Flour carbohydrate catabolism and metabolite production by sourdough lactic acid bacteria

The aim of this study was to assess the mode of carbohydrate catabolism by lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional sourdoughs, as well as to study their effect on the metabolites produced. For this purpose, single cultures of the heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis, Lactobacillus brevis, Weissella cibaria, and the homofermentative Lactobacillus paralimentarius and Pediococcus pentosaceus were grown in liquid media containing glucose, fructose, maltose and sucrose, either as a single carbon source or in combination with glucose. Carbon catabolism and the production of metabolites were determined by HPLC analysis. W. cibaria could ferment all carbon sources, L. sanfranciscensis, L. paralimentarius and P. pentosaceus could not ferment sucrose, while L. brevis could only ferment maltose. The presence of glucose did not influence the utilization of fructose and maltose by L. sanfranciscensis, while it repressed the fermentation of fructose, maltose and sucrose by W. cibaria, and fructose and maltose by L. paralimentarius and P. pentosaceus. Moreover, L. sanfranciscensis and L. brevis could obtain extra ATP through the reduction of fructose to mannitol, which favored the production of acetic acid against ethanol. The utilization of fructose as an electron acceptor has a decisive effect on the prevailing of L. sanfranciscensis and L. brevis in spontaneously fermented sourdough and in the scarce appearance of the other lactic acid bacteria studied.     

Kinetics of kojic acid fermentation byAspergillus flavus link S44-1 using sucrose as a carbon source under different pH conditions

Kojic acid production byAspergillus flavus strain S44-1 using sucrose as a carbon source was carried out in a 250-mL shake flask and a 2-L stirred tank fermenter. For comparison, production of kojic acid using glucose, fructose and its mixture was also carried out. Kojic acid production in shake flask fermentation was 25.8 g/L using glucose as the sole carbon source, 23.6 g/L with sucrose, and 6.4 g/L from fructose. Reduced kojic acid production (13.5 g/L) was observed when a combination of glucose and fructose was used as a carbon source. The highest production of kojic acid (40.2 g/L) was obtained from 150 g/L sucrose in a 2 L fermenter, while the lowest kojic acid production (10.3 g/L) was seen in fermentation using fructose as the sole carbon source. The experimental data from batch fermentation and resuspended cell system was analysed in order to form the basis for a kinetic model of the process. An unstructured model based on logistic and Luedeking-Piret equations was found suitable to describe the growth, substrate consumption, and efficiency of kojic acid production byA. flavus in batch fermentation using sucrose. From this model, it was found that kojic acid production byA. flavus was not a growth-associated process. Fermentation without pH control (from an initial culture pH of 3.0) showed higher kojic acid production than single-phase pH-controlled fermentation (pH 2.5, 2.75, and 3.0).     

The kinetics of simultaneous glucose and fructose uptake and product formation by Aspergillus niger in citric acid fermentation

The kinetics of substrate uptake and product formation in the process of citric acid accumulation by Aspergillus niger on sucrose as a sole carbon source are presented. The experiments are aimed at studying if glucose and fructose obtained from the hydrolysis of sucrose are equivalent carbon sources for A. niger and how the presence of the two different carbon substrates might influence the citric acid formation process. Beet sugar was used as a sole carbon source in the first series of experiments conducted in two types of bioreactors: stirred tank and air-lift. The fructose uptake rate was significantly lower than the glucose uptake rate in the late idiophase. A substrate utilisation breakpoint occurred when a large amount of citric acid was accumulated in the fermentation broth. A similar phenomenon was also detected in repeated fed-batch fermentation. This phenomenon was confirmed by the second series of parallel shake culture runs, in which fungal growth and citric acid accumulation by A. niger was simultaneously tested on the media containing the following carbon sources: sucrose, glucose and fructose, with and without addition of concentrated citric acid solution. Finally, it was shown that high concentration of citric acid strongly depleted fructose uptake rate.     

Succinate production from different carbon sources under anaerobic conditions by metabolic engineered Escherichia coli strains

Succinic acid has drawn much interest as a precursor of many industrially important chemicals. Using a variety of feedstocks for the bio-production of succinic acid would be economically beneficial to future industrial processes. Escherichia coli SBS550MG is able to grow on both glucose and fructose, but not on sucrose. Therefore, we derived a SBS550MG strain bearing both the pHL413 plasmid, which contains Lactococcus lactis pycA gene, and the pUR400 plasmid, which contains the scrK, Y, A, B, and R genes for sucrose uptake and catalyzation. Succinic acid production by this modified strain and the SBS550pHL413 strain was tested on fructose, sucrose, a mixture of glucose and fructose, a mixture of glucose, fructose and sucrose, and sucrose hydrolysis solution. The modified strain can produce succinic acid efficiently from all combinations of different carbon sources tested with minimal byproduct formation and with high molar succinate yields close to that of the maximum theoretic values. The molar succinic acid yield from fructose was the highest among the carbon sources tested. Using the mixture of glucose and fructose as the carbon source resulted in slightly lower yields and much higher productivity than using fructose alone. Fermenting sucrose mixed with fructose and glucose gave a 1.76-fold higher productivity than that when sucrose was used as the sole carbon source. Using sucrose pretreated with sulfuric acid as carbon source resulted in a similar succinic acid yield and productivity as that when using the mixture of sucrose, fructose, and glucose. The results of the effect of agitation rate in aerobic phase on succinate production showed that supplying large amount of oxygen in aerobic phase resulted in higher productions of formate and acetate, and therefore lower succinate yield. This study suggests that fructose, sucrose, mixture of glucose and fructose, mixture of glucose, fructose and sucrose, or sucrose hydrolysis solution could be used for the economical and efficient production of succinic acid by our metabolic engineered E. coli strain.     

碳源对琥珀酸放线杆菌发酵产丁二酸的影响及其代谢流量分析

在厌氧条件下, Actinobacillus succinogenes能够利用单糖、双糖和糖醇等碳水化合物发酵生成丁二酸, 其中以山梨醇为碳源时丁二酸的产量最高。代谢流量分析结果表明: 与葡萄糖发酵相比较, 由于代谢系统中积累了更多的NADH, 使得代谢网络关键节点PYR和AcCoA处的代谢流量分配有了较大的变化, 导致更多的碳源流向丁二酸和乙醇, 而乙酸和甲酸的分泌相对减少。
