阿魏蘑与胶红酵母共培养中促进产漆酶物质的初步研究

阿魏蘑在液态发酵过程中经胶红酵母共培养后,漆酶的产量得到提高,但对其起促进作用的物质尚不清楚。本文中,笔者首先考察阿魏蘑和胶红酵母发酵上清液混合对漆酶酶活测定的影响,发现胶红酵母并没有表达漆酶的能力,同时,发酵上清液的混合会导致漆酶酶活的下降。因此,排除了两种微生物发酵液之间发生的协同或促进作用对漆酶酶活的影响。在分别添加高温灭活和70℃灭活的胶红酵母后发现,添加30 g/L的70℃灭活的胶红酵母,阿魏蘑漆酶酶活增加至6 605 U/L,而高温灭活未有相应的促进效果。因此,在共培养中促进漆酶合成的活性物质存在于酵母中并对温度敏感。通过比较70℃灭活胶红酵母的添加时间和添加量后,在阿魏蘑培养第2天添加50 g/L胶红酵母获得最高漆酶产量7 579 U/L。通过研究发现了胶红酵母中某种对热敏感的物质促进了阿魏蘑漆酶表达量的提高,此结果对研究漆酶及其他发酵产物在共培养中表达量的提高有重要意义。     

Morphological and rheological properties of the three different species of basidiomycetes Phellinus in submerged cultures

AIMS: The objective of this work was to investigate the morphological and rheological properties in submerged culture of the three different basidiomycetes Phellinus (P. baumii, P. gilvus and P. linteus) that produce pharmacologically important exopolysaccharides (EPS). METHODS AND RESULTS: In flask cultures, pH proved to be a critical factor affecting mycelial growth, morphological change and EPS production. The macroscopic morphologies observed under different pHs in flask cultures were also comparable: i.e. starfish-like pellets with a lesser extent of free mycelium appeared in P. baumii, whereas smooth pellets with higher amounts of free mycelium were observed in P. gilvus and P. linteus. The pelleted fermentations were further characterized in a 5-l stirred-tank fermenter by image analysis with respect to mean diameter, core area and pellet circularity. Phellinus baumii showed the largest pellet size (5.2 mm in diameter), whereas P. linteus had extremely small and spherical pellets. The culture broth of P. baumii and P. gilvus yielded extremely high apparent viscosities, ranging from 5 to 7 Pa s. CONCLUSIONS: Three important species of Phellinus showed significantly different morphological and rheological properties. The morphological variation of the three Phellinus species was closely linked to EPS productivity and the apparent viscosity of the whole broth. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The morphological change in the three species of Phellinus was a good indicator for identifying cell activity for EPS production. Our finding may be beneficial for further optimization of other fungal fermentation processes for large-scale production of EPS.     

Production of biomass and ligninolytic enzymes by Pleurotus ostreatus in submerged culture.

The production of biomass and ligninolytic enzymes by Pleurotus ostreatus was analysed in synthetic medium with yeast extract and different glucose concentrations (0.5 - 20 g/l), at different pH (3.5-6.5) and incubation temperatures (23-32 degrees C). The best culture condition were: initial glucose concentration of 5 g/l, initial pH between 5.5-6.5 and incubation temperature between 26-29 degrees C. The saturation constant for glucose (Ks) was 1.75 g/l. The biomass concentration reached 8.6 g/l with a glucose addition of 20.0 g/l to the culture medium. The control of pH allowed an increment of 0.5 g/l of biomass concentration. The birreactor produced pellets with a homogeneous distribution of diameter size of 3.4 -/+ 0.2 mm. Approximately, 307 U/l of laccase and 0.41 U/l of manganese peroxidase were obtained in extracellular liquid medium and 0.015 U/g of laccase and 0.809 U/g of manganese peroxidase were obtained in solid substrate. Lignin peroxidase activity was not detected at any condition.     

Effects Various Adsorbents on Mycelium Formation and Mycophenolic Acid Production by Pénicillium brevicompactum

A drug-resistant mutant, No. 4–23–11, which had been derived from Pénicillium brevicompactum ATCC 16024, was cultured in a liquid medium for the production of mycophenolic acid (MPA) in the presence and absence of various adsorbents, that is, celites, zeolites, aluminas, talc, silica, charcoals, carbon blacks, natural graphite and carbonaceous mesophase spheres. In the absence of an adsorbent, MPA production (0.2 ~4.8 g/1) and the size of mycelium pellets (5~0.5mm) markedly depended on the concentration of spores inoculated (10⁴~ 10⁷/ml), whereas in the presence of one of these adsorbents, small pellets (smaller than 1 mm in diameter) were formed and the high production of MPA (4.5 — 5.4 g/1) was observed, independently of the spore concentration between approximately 10⁴~ 10⁷/ml. Microscopic observation of the pellets revealed that numerous particles of the adsorbents adhered to the surface of the hyphae. These results suggest that the adsorbents might interfere with the adhesion of hyphae to each other and thus retard the formation of large pellets.     

Production of manganese peroxidase by pellet culture of the lignin-degrading basidiomycete, Pleurotus ostreatus

Pleurotus ostreatus No. 42 produced the ligninolytic enzymes, manganese peroxidase (MnP) and laccase, in agitation culture in glucose/peptone/wheat-bran medium. Formation of mycelial pellets 1-2 mm in diameter was essential for the production of MnP; and the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the culture medium greatly influenced the production of MnP, a concentration over 5 ppm being necessary for MnP production. The maximal activity of MnP was obtained on days 7-9 of culture, after the consumption of nutrient glucose. Introduction of oxygen from the start of the cultivation caused large pellet formation, which resulted in a low MnP activity level. P. ostreatus No. 42 produced two MnP isozymes in agitation culture. The major isozyme, F-2, was 36.4 kDa and had a pI of 3.95. The MnP characteristics, Km values, dependence on Mn2+ and optimum pH showed the similarity between this isozyme and MnP 3, which was produced under different culture conditions. Analysis of the N-terminal amino acid sequence indicated the close similarity of F-2 to MnP 3.     

Morphology and laccase production of white-rot fungi grown on wheat bran flakes under semi-solid-state fermentation conditions

In this paper, we studied the laccase production and the growth morphology of different white-rot fungi, i.e. Pleurotus ostreatus, Trametes pubescens, Cerrena unicolor and Trametes versicolor, cultured under semi-solid-state fermentation conditions using wheat bran flakes as a natural low-cost support substrate. Trametes versicolor exhibited the highest laccase activity per gram of total dry matter, followed by P. ostreatus (63.5 and 58.2Ug(-1) , respectively). In addition, they showed a time profile of laccase production that was quite similar. Growth morphology was studied using environmental microscopic images and analyzed by discrete Fourier transformation-based software to determine the mean diameter of the hyphae, the number of hypha layers and the global micromorphology. The four strains exhibited different micromorphologies of growth. Pleurotus ostreatus presented narrow hyphae, which formed many thick clumps, T. pubescens and T. versicolor showed clumps of different sizes and C. unicolor showed thick hyphae that formed larger clumps, but in less amounts.     

Effect of medium composition on 1-octen-3-ol formation in submerged cultures of Pleurotus pulmonarius

The effect of nitrogen and fatty-acid-rich substrates on the production of 1-octen-3-ol by the edible fungus Pleurotus pulmonarius, during growth in both shaken flask and fermentor cultures, and in-vitro, in post-harvested mycelium, was studied. Addition of soybean flour and soybean oil to the growth medium enhanced 1-octen-3-ol production about sevenfold and doubled the fungal biomass, as compared to that obtained from P. pulmonarius cultured on a defined synthetic medium. A clear relationship between the production of 1-octen-3-ol and lipoxygenase activity was found during the growth of mushroom pellets. The highest in-vitro generation of 1-octen-3-ol was obtained upon addition of exogenous linoleic acid and pure O₂ to pellets grown with soybean fluor and soybean oil. This generation was even higher than that of fruiting bodies exposed to the same conditions. These results suggest that lipoxygenase activity and, subsequently, 1-octen-3-ol biosynthesis in P. pulmonarius are enhanced by the presence of substrates containing fatty acids in the growth medium.

Enhanced enzyme production with the pelleted form of <Emphasis Type="Italic">D. squalens</Emphasis> in laboratory bioreactors using added natural lignin inducer

White-rot fungi are extensively used in various submerged biotechnology processes to produce ligninolytic enzymes. Transfer of the process from the laboratory to the industrial level requires optimization of the cultivation conditions on the laboratory scale. An interesting area of optimization is pellet growth since this morphological form solves problems such as the decreased oxygen concentration, limited heat, and nutrient transport, which usually occur in dispersed mycelium cultures. Many submerged fermentations with basidiomycetes in pellet form were done with Phanerochaete, Trametes, and Bjerkandera species, among others. In our study, another promising basidiomycete, D. squalens, was used for ligninolytic enzyme production. With the addition of wood particles (sawdust) as a natural inducer and optimization of mixing and aeration conditions in laboratory stirred tank (STR) and bubble column (BCR) reactors on pellet growth and morphology, the secretion of laccase and the manganese-dependent peroxidase into the medium was substantially enhanced. The maximum mean pellet radius was achieved after 10 days in the BCR (5.1 mm) where pellets were fluffy and 5 days in the STR (3.5 mm) where they were round and smooth. The maximum Lac activity (1,882 U l⁻¹) was obtained after 12 days in the STR, while maximum MnP activity (449.8 U l⁻¹) occurred after 18 days in the BCR. The pellet size and morphology depended on the agitation and aeration conditions and consequently influenced a particular enzyme synthesis. The enzyme activities were high and comparable with the activities found for other investigations in reactors with basidiomycetes in the form of pellets.     

Effects of lactational and reproductive status on ovarian follicular waves in llamas (Lama glama)

The effects of lactational status and reproductive status on patterns of follicle growth and regression were studied in 41 llamas. Animals were examined daily by transrectal ultrasonography for at least 30 days. The presence or absence of a corpus luteum and the diameter of the largest and second largest follicle in each ovary were recorded. Llamas were categorized as lactating (N = 16) or non-lactating (N = 25) and randomly allotted to the following groups (reproductive status): (1) unmated (anovulatory group, N = 14), (2) mated by a vasectomized male (ovulatory non-pregnant group, N = 12), (3) mated by an intact male and confirmed pregnant (pregnant group, N = 15). Ovulation occurred on the 2nd day after mating with a vasectomized or intact male in 26/27 (96%) ovulating llamas. Interval from mating to ovulation (2.0 +/- 0.1 days) and growth rate of the preovulatory follicle (0.8 +/- 0.2 mm/day) were not affected by lactational status or the type of mating (vasectomized vs intact male). Waves of follicular activity were indicated by periodic increases in the number of follicles detected and an associated emergence of a dominant follicle that grew to greater than or equal to 7 mm. There was an inverse relationship (r = -0.2; P = 0.002) between the number of follicles detected and the diameter of the largest follicle. Successive dominant follicles emerged at intervals of 19.8 +/- 0.7 days in unmated and vasectomy-mated llamas and 14.8 +/- 0.6 days in pregnant llamas (P = 0.001). Lactation was associated with an interwave interval that was shortened by 2.5 +/- 0.05 days averaged over all groups (P = 0.03). Maximum diameter of anovulatory dominant follicles ranged from 9 to 16 mm and was greater (P less than 0.05) for non-pregnant llamas (anovulatory group, 12.1 +/- 0.4 mm; ovulatory group, 11.5 +/- 0.2 mm) than for pregnant llamas (9.7 +/- 0.2 mm). In addition, lactation was associated with smaller (P less than 0.05) maximum diameter of dominant follicles averaged over all reproductive statuses (10.4 +/- 0.2 vs 11.7 +/- 0.3 mm). The corpus luteum was maintained for a mean of 10 days after ovulation in non-pregnant llamas and to the end of the observational period in pregnant llamas. The presence (ovulatory non-pregnant group) and persistence (pregnant group) of a corpus luteum was associated with a depression in the number of follicles detected and reduced prominence of dominant follicles (anovulatory group greater than ovulatory non-pregnant group greater than pregnant group).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)     

Tradeoffs between reproduction and mycelium production in the unit-restricted decomposer Coprinus cinereus

A laboratory experiment was performed which examined tradeoffs between production of mycelium and reproduction (using stipe dry weight as an estimator of spore production) in the coprophilous mushroom species Coprinus cinereus. Isolates of the fungus taken from a single dikaryotic mycelium were grown in Petri plates containing yeast extract agar. Plates varied in diameter and resource density, but the total volume of agar was kept constant. Isolates grown in 100 mm and 150 mm diameter plates produced significantly less mycelium compared to isolates grown in 60 mm diameter plates. Within 60 mm plates there was no correlation between the efficiency of mycelium production and fruit body production, but in larger plates there was a significant negative correlation between the two. These results indicate that isolates grown on larger plates were less efficient at using resources than isolates grown on small plates, and that mycelium production is curtailed on larger plates to maintain spore production.
