甲苯胁迫下有机溶剂耐受菌Anoxybacillus flavithermus ssp．yunnanesis E13T膜脂肪酸的变化

摘要:【目的】探讨目前唯一具有有机溶剂耐受性的嗜热细菌新物种Anoxybacillus flavithermus ssp．yunnanesis E13T甲苯胁迫下膜脂肪酸的变化。【方法】在不同条件下培养菌株E13T,收集细胞,提取脂肪酸,采用气相色谱-质谱(GC-MS)对脂肪酸进行定量测定分析。【结果】0.3% (V/V)甲苯胁迫下生长时,菌株E13T是在从延滞期进入初始生长的时刻显著上调饱和直链脂肪酸含量,然后随着菌体的生长,饱和直链脂肪酸的含量持续减少;在100%甲苯幸存实验中,菌株E13T的饱和直链脂肪酸的增加幅度更为显著。【结论】与常温下的有机溶剂耐受菌一样,A．flavithermus ssp．yunnanesis E13T也是通过调节细胞膜上的脂肪酸,促使细胞膜变硬以抵御甲苯毒性。但是它是通过调节饱和直链脂肪酸,而不是像常温下的有机溶剂耐受菌那样调节不饱和脂肪酸。     

The effect of cold, acid and ethanol shocks on synthesis of membrane fatty acid, freeze-drying survival and malolactic activity of Oenococcus oeni

The effects of stress shocks on the freeze-drying viability, malolactic activity and membrane fatty acid composition of the Oenococcus oeni SD-2a cells were studied. O. oeni SD-2a cells after 2 h of stress exposure exhibited better freeze-drying viability and malolactic fermentation ability. A decrease in unsaturated fatty acids/saturated fatty acids (UFA/SFA) ratio and in the C18:1 relative concentration, and an increase in cyclopropane fatty acids (CFA) content mainly due to the increase in C19cyc11 relative concentration were observed in all stress shocked cells. There was a significant negative correlation between C19cyc11 and C18:lcis11, C16:0 in all stress shocks. The freeze-drying viability exhibited a significant positive correlation with the levels of C19cyc11 in cold and acid shocks. The only significant positive correlation between the ability of O. oeni SD-2a to conduct malic acid degradation and membrane composition existed with C14:0 in ethanol shocks. In general, freeze-drying viabilities were maximum for cells with low UFA/SFA ratio and high CFA levels, and, consequently, with low membrane fluidity. Moreover, CFA formation played a major role in protecting stress shocked cells from lyophilization. However, changes observed in membrane fatty acid composition are not enough to explain the greater freeze-drying viability of cells shocked at 8% ethanol. Thus, other mechanisms could be responsible for this increase in the bacterial resistance to lyophilization.     

Assessing the effect of air-drying and storage on microbial biomass and community structure in paddy soils

To understand the effect of air-drying pre-treatment, refrigeration, and freezing storages on microbial biomass and community structure in paddy soils, we measured total phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) and PLFA profile after five treatments, including flooded (F), flooded-freezing (FF), flooded-air-drying (FAD), flooded-air-drying-freezing (FADF), and flooded-air-drying-refrigeration (FADR). FF and FADF treatments were followed by freeze-drying before analyzing the total PLFA and PLFA profile. The results showed that FF and FADF treatments increased the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, but decreased that of branched chain saturated fatty acids. FAD treatment increased the concentrations of bacterial, aerobic bacterial, stress, Type I methanotrophs, and Gram-negative bacterial biomarkers, while it decreased the concentration of hydroxy fatty acid group and the ratios of cyclopropyl saturated fatty acids to their monoenoic precursors. FADR significantly decreased the concentration of total PLFA and all PLFA groups except for the mono-unsaturated fatty acid group. Statistical analysis with correspondence analysis showed that air-drying and storage changed the microbial community structure, but the effect of air-drying on soil microbial community structure was more pronounced than that of freezing. These results indicated that deep freezing followed by freeze-drying may be the most recommendable procedure before soil biochemical analysis in flooded paddy soils.     

Effect of active dry wine yeast storage upon viability and lipid composition

Alterations in the plasma membrane of Active Dry Wine Yeast (ADWY) produce deleterious effects upon yeast fermentation activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in viability mediated by plasma membrane alterations induced by poor ADWY storage conditions. Yeast recovery was analyzed after growth in optimal medium. The effects upon vitality were measured by impedance variation. Cell membrane functionality was measured by anisotropy and cell lipid composition was also determined. The results showed a reduction in viability of up to 57–87% in the stored yeast. The storage effect increased saturated fatty acids, and reduced unsaturated fatty acids and phospholipid contents. The stored yeast recovery was related to membrane functionality and significant increases in unsaturated fatty acid, sterol and phospholipid concentrations. Good vitality was positively correlated to high unsaturated fatty acid, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine concentrations and negatively to high saturated fatty acid and phosphatidylcholine contents.     

Influences of protectants,rehydration media and storage on the viability of freeze-dried <Emphasis Type="Italic">Oenococcus oeni</Emphasis> for malolactic fermentation

Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is an important process in wine production. To achieve successful MLF, expanding interest in ready-to-use Oenococcus oeni starter cultures has placed greater emphasis on developing starter production and preservation methods. In this study, influences of protectants, rehydration media and storage on the viability of O. oeni H-5 when subjected to freeze-drying were investigated. It was found that sodium glutamate (2.5%) was the best protectant, giving the cell viability 72.4%. Adding polysaccharides and disaccharides in suspension media also improved significantly the cell viability. Rehydration is an important step in recovery after freeze-drying. When freeze-dried O. oeni was rehydrated in GYM medium, the highest viability (87.1%) was obtained. Rehydration in the disaccharide solutions tested made the cell viability obviously decrease. After 6 months storage at 4°C, loss of viability occurred, the extent of which depended on protectants used, sodium glutamate again being the most effective.     

Calcium can moderate changes on membrane structure and lipid composition in cowpea plants under salt stress

The effects of supplemental Ca²⁺ on membrane integrity and lipid composition of cowpea plants submitted to salt stress (75 mM NaCl) were evaluated. The experimental design was factorial (2 × 6 + 1) corresponding to six saline treatments supplemented with CaCl₂ and six saline treatments supplemented with CaSO₄, both at 0.5, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 mM, plus control treatment (plants grown in half-strength Hoagland’s nutrient solution without supplemental calcium addition). Samples of leaves and root tips were analyzed for total lipid, glycolipid and fatty acid contents and membrane damage symptoms. Salt stress greatly reduced total lipid content in leaves and roots and caused great damage to membrane structures. In leaves, the glycolipid content was differently influenced by calcium treatments. Moreover, salinity increased the saturated/unsaturated fatty acid ratio in leaves and an increase in the concentration of calcium intensified this response. In roots, only saturated fatty acids were detected and their content was strongly influenced by salinity and very little by calcium treatments. Supplemental Ca²⁺ was unable to ameliorate the negative effects of salinity on the structural integrity and fluidity of plant membranes in cowpea.     

Enhancement in the viability and biosensing activity of freeze-dried recombinant bioluminescent bacteria

The genetically-engineeredEscherichia coli strain, DPD2540, which contains afabA::luxCDABE fusion gene, gives a bioluminescent output when membrane fatty acid synthesis is needed. For more practical application of this strain in the field as biosensor, freeze-drying was adopted. A 12% sucrose solution with Luria-Bertani (LB) broth, as determined by the viability after freeze-drying, was found to be the most effective composition for lyophilization solution among various compositions tested. Rapid freezing with liquid nitrogen also gave the best viability after freeze-drying as compared to samples frozen at −70°C and −20°C. The biosensing activities of the cells showed a greater sensitivity when the cells from the exponential phase were freeze-dried. Finally, the optimum temperature for use of the freeze-dried cells in the biosensor field was determined.     

NaCl induced metabolic changes in the diazotrophic cyanobacterium <Emphasis Type="Italic">Anabaena cylindrica</Emphasis>

NaCl induced changes in fatty acid composition and nitrogenase, glutamine synthetase (GS) and nitrate reductase (NR) activities have been studied in a diazotrophic cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica. GC-MS analysis revealed that the cellular fatty acid composition of NaCl untreated cells of A. cylindrica contained saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in high (85.15%) and low (13.17%) proportions, respectively. In contrast, NaCl adapted cells of A. cylindrica had reduced and increased levels of saturated (45.2%) and unsaturated (40%) fatty acids, respectively. It had a higher overall level of fatty acid unsaturation under NaCl stress mainly due to increase in C12:4, C10:1, C16:1 and C18:2 constituents. The activities of nitrogenase, GS and NR were reduced significantly in NaCl adapted cells as compared to its NaCl untreated counterparts.     

Effect of supplementation with exogenous fatty acid on the biological properties of a fatty acid requiring auxotroph ofSalmonella typhimurium

The effects of changes in fatty acid composition of the cell membrane on different biological functions ofSalmonella typhimurium have been studied with the help of a temperature sensitive fatty acid auxotroph which cannot synthesise unsaturated fatty acids at high temperature. On being shifted to nonpermissive temperature the cells continue growing for another one and half to two generations. The rates of protein and DNA syntheses run parallel to the growth rate but the rate of RNA synthesis is reduced. Further, there is a gradual reduction in the rate of transport of exogenous uridine and thymidine into the soluble pool. The transport process can be restored by supplementing the growth medium with cis-unsaturated fatty acids but not trans-unsaturated ones although the growth of the cells is resumed by supplementation with eithercis or trans-unsaturated fatty acids. However, supplementation withtrans, trans-unsaturated fatty acids leads to only partial recovery of the transport process. The rate of oxygen uptake is also affected in cells grown in the presence of thetrans-unsaturated fatty acids, elaidic acid and palmitelaidic acid. Analysis of cells grown under different fatty acid supplementation indicate that fatty acid composition of the cell membrane, especially the ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids varies with temperature shift and supplementation of the growth media with fatty acids.     

Dietary fats,selected body temperature and tissue fatty acid composition of agamid lizards (Amphibolurus nuchalis)

The composition of tissue and membrane fatty acids in ectothermic vertebrates is influenced by both temperature acclimation and diets. If such change in body lipid composition and thermal physiology were linked, a diet-induced change in body lipid composition should result in a change in thermal physiology. We therefore investigated whether the selected body temperature of the agamid lizardAmphibolurus nuchalis (body mass 20 g) is influenced by the lipid composition of dietary fatty acids and whether diet-induced changes in thermal physiology are correlated with changes in body lipid composition. The selected body temperature in two groups of lizards was indistinguishable before dietary treatments. The selected body temperature in lizards after 3 weeks on a diet rich in saturated fatty acids rose by 2.1 °C (photophase) and 3.3 °C (scotophase), whereas the body temperature of lizards on a diet rich in unsaturated fatty acids fell by 1.5 °C (photophase) and 2.0 °C (scotophase). Significant diet-induced differences were observed in the fatty acid composition of depot fat, liver and muscle. These observations suggest that dietary lipids may influence selection of body temperature in ectotherms via alterations of body lipid composition.Abbreviations bm body mass - FA fatty acid(s) - MUFA monounsaturated fatty acids - PUFA polyunsaturated fatty acids - SFA saturated fatty acids - T _a air temperature - T _b body temperature - UFA unsaturated fatty acids
