Production of Guanosine-5′-Monophosphate and Inosine-5′-Monophosphate by Fermentation

A biotin-requiring coryneform bacterium which produces glutamic acid was mutated to adenine dependency. The adenine-requiring strain, which excreted insoine-5′-monophosphate (IMP), was further mutated to xanthine dependency. As expected, IMP was also excreted by this mutant. The mutant strain was reverted to xanthine independence in an attempt to obtain a culture with an altered IMP dehydrogenase which would be less sensitive to feedback inhibition by guanosine-5′-monophosphate (GMP). A revertant was obtained which produced GMP and IMP, each at 0.5 g per liter. The reversion to xanthine independence had resulted in a concomitant requirement for isoleucine, leucine, and valine. Further mutation to increased nutritional requirements led to culture MB-1802, which accumulated 1 g per liter each of GMP and IMP. Both nucleotides were isolated in pure form. The concentrations of GMP and IMP produced by MB-1802 were four times that of cytidylate, uridylate, or adenylate, indicating that the mechanism of GMP and IMP production was direct and not via ribonucleic acid breakdown.

Screening and characteristics of a butanol-tolerant strain and butanol production from enzymatic hydrolysate of NaOH-pretreated corn stover

As a gasoline substitute, butanol has advantages over traditional fuel ethanol in terms of energy density and hydroscopicity. However, solvent production appeared limited by butanol toxicity. The strain of Clostridium acetobutylicum was subjected to mutation by mutagen of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine for 0.5?h. Screening of mutants was done according to the individual resistance to butanol. A selected butanol-resistant mutant, strain 206, produced 50?% higher solvent concentrations than the wild-type strain when 60?g glucose/l was employed as substrate. The strain was also able to produce solvents of 23.47?g/l in 80?g/l glucose P2 medium after 70?h fermentation, including 5.41?g acetone/l, 15.05?g butanol/l and 3.02?g ethanol/l, resulting in an ABE yield and productivity of 0.32?g/g and 0.34?g/(l?h). Subsequently, Acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) production from enzymatic hydrolysate of NaOH-pretreated corn stover was investigated in this study. An ABE yield of 0.41 and a productivity of 0.21?g/(l?h) was obtained, compared to the yield of 0.33 and the productivity of 0.20?g/(l?h) in the control medium containing 52.47 mixed sugars. However, it is important to note that although strain 206 was able to utilize all the glucose rapidly in the hydrolysate, only 32.9?% xylose in the hydrolysate was used after fermentation stopped compared to 91.4?% xylose in the control medium. Strain 206 was shown to be a robust strain for ABE production from lignocellulosic materials and has a great potential for industrial application.     

Investigation of various genotype characteristics for inosine accumulation in Escherichia coli W3110

For the derivation of an inosine-overproducing strain from the wild type microorganism, it is known that the addition of an adenine requirement, removal of purine nucleoside hydrolyzing activity, removal of the feedback inhibition, and repression of key enzymes in the purine nucleotides biosynthetic pathway are essential. Thus, the disruption of purA (adenine requirement), deoD (removal of purine nucleosides phosphorylase activity), purR (derepression of the regulation of purine nucleotides biosynthetic pathway), and the insensitivity of the feedback inhibition of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP) amidotransferase by adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine 5'-monophosphate (GMP) were done in the Escherichia coli strain W3110, and then the inosine productivity was estimated. In the case of using a plasmid harboring the PRPP amidotransferase gene (purF) that encoded a desensitized PRPP amidotransferase, purF disrupted mutants were used as the host strains. It was found that the innovation of the four genotypes brought about a small amount of inosine accumulation. Furthermore, an adenine auxotrophic mutant of E. coli showed inappropriate adenine use because its growth could not respond efficiently to the concentration of adenine added. As the presence of adenosine deaminase is well known in E. coli and it is thought to be involved in adenine use, a mutant disrupted adenosine deaminase gene (add) was constructed and tested. The mutant, which is deficient in purF, purA, deoD, purR, and add genes, and harboring the desensitized purF as a plasmid, accumulated about 1 g of inosine per liter. Although we investigated the effects of purR disruption and purF gene improvement, unexpectedly an increase in the inosine productivity could not be found with this mutant.     

Growth of Yeasts on n-Alkanes: Inhibition by a Lactonic Sophorolipid Produced by

The effects of amino acids on IMP production were examined with a mutant strain, KY10895, derived from Corynebacterium ammoniagenes KY13374. l-Proline improved the productivity of IMP more than any other amino acid. The optimum concentration of l-proline for IMP production was 1–2% and the IMP productivity was about 70% more than that in the control medium. The effects of l-proline analogs on IMP production were also examined with the mutant KY10895. DL-3,4-Dehydroproline inhibited IMP production. Mutants resistant to growth inhibition by dl-3,4-dehydroproline were derived from strain KY10895. Among mutants thus obtained, strain H-7335 had the highest productivity. The intracellular concentrations of l-proline in strain H-7335 were higher than those of the parental strain, KY10895. These findings indicated that an increase in intracellular l-proline was linked with an increase of IMP productivity and strengthening the l-proline synthesis of a strain was an effective method for obtaining a hyper-producer of IMP.     

d‐lactic acid production from renewable lignocellulosic biomass via genetically modified Lactobacillus plantarum

d ‐lactic acid is of great interest because of increasing demand for biobased poly‐lactic acid (PLA). Blending poly‐l ‐lactic acid with poly‐d ‐lactic acid greatly improves PLA's mechanical and physical properties. Corn stover and sorghum stalks treated with 1% sodium hydroxide were investigated as possible substrates for d ‐lactic acid production by both sequential saccharification and fermentation and simultaneous saccharification and cofermentation (SSCF). A commercial cellulase (Cellic CTec2) was used for hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass and an l ‐lactate‐deficient mutant strain Lactobacillus plantarum NCIMB 8826 ldhL1 and its derivative harboring a xylose assimilation plasmid (ΔldhL1‐pCU‐PxylAB) were used for fermentation. The SSCF process demonstrated the advantage of avoiding feedback inhibition of released sugars from lignocellulosic biomass, thus significantly improving d ‐lactic acid yield and productivity. d ‐lactic acid (27.3 g L^?1) and productivity (0.75 g L^?1 h^?1) was obtained from corn stover and d ‐lactic acid (22.0 g L^?1) and productivity (0.65 g L^?1 h^?1) was obtained from sorghum stalks using ΔldhL1‐pCU‐PxylAB via the SSCF process. The recombinant strain produced a higher concentration of d ‐lactic acid than the mutant strain by using the xylose present in lignocellulosic biomass. Our findings demonstrate the potential of using renewable lignocellulosic biomass as an alternative to conventional feedstocks with metabolically engineered lactic acid bacteria to produce d ‐lactic acid. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Exopolysaccharide biosynthesis by a fast-producing strain of Aureobasidium pullulans

Summary The mutant strain Aureobasidium pullulans ICCF-68 was able to produce in batch fermentation on a glucose medium of 80 g/l, exopolysaccharide at high volumetric productivity and final concentration (1.05 g/l.h and 50.2 g/l, respectively). A specific pH pattern and very high oxygen requirement were shown.     

Antitumor and Antiviral Properties of Penicillic Acid

The effects of adenine and (or) guanosine concentration on the accumulation of inosine, xanthosine, adenosine and succino-adenosine were studied with various purine auxotrophs of Bacillus subtilis K strain. Genetical derepression of the common pathway enzymes resulted in increase in the accumulation of inosine, xanthosine and adenosine. Co-operative repression system of a common pathway enzyme, succino-AMP lyase with respect to adenine and guanosine, was confirmed under the condition of the accumulation test. From these and the relating other studies it was concluded that the synthesis of AMP was regulated mainly by the inhibition of PRPP amidotransferase by AMP and secondly by the repression of the common pathway enzymes by adenine and guanosine, that the synthesis of GMP was regulated mainly by the inhibition and repression of IMP dehydrogenase by guanine derivatives and that GMP was synthesized in preference to AMP at the branch point, IMP.     

Genetically switched d-lactate production in Escherichia coli

During a fermentation process, the formation of the desired product during the cell growth phase competes with the biomass for substrates or inhibits cell growth directly, which results in a decrease in production efficiency. A genetic switch is required to precisely separate growth from production and to simplify the fermentation process. The ldhA promoter, which encodes the fermentative d-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the lactate producer Escherichia coli CICIM B0013-070 (ack-pta pps pflB dld poxB adhE frdA), was replaced with the λ p(R) and p(L) promoters (as a genetic switch) using genomic recombination and the thermo-controllable strain B0013-070B (B0013-070, ldhAp::kan-cI(ts)857-p(R)-p(L)), which could produce two-fold higher LDH activity at 42°C than the B0013-070 strain, was created. When the genetic switch was turned off at 33°C, strain B0013-070B produced 10% more biomass aerobically than strain B0013-070 and produced only trace levels of lactate which could reduce the growth inhibition caused by oxygen insufficiency in large scale fermentation. However, 42°C is the most efficient temperature for switching on lactate production. The volumetric productivity of B0013-070B improved by 9% compared to that of strain B0013-070 when it was grown aerobically at 33°C with a short thermo-induction at 42°C and then switched to the production phase at 42°C. In a bioreactor experiment using scaled-up conditions that were optimized in a shake flask experiment, strain B0013-070B produced 122.8g/l d-lactate with an increased oxygen-limited productivity of 0.89g/g·h. The results revealed the effectiveness of using a genetic switch to regulate cell growth and the production of a metabolic compound.     

Calcium malate overproduction by Penicillium viticola 152 using the medium containing corn steep liquor

In this study, after screening of eight fungal strains for their ability to produce calcium malate, it was found that Penicillium viticola 152 isolated from marine algae among them could produce the highest titer of calcium malate. At the same time, it was found that corn steep liquor (CSL) could stimulate calcium malate production and 0.5 % (v/v) CSL was the most suitable for calcium malate production. Under the optimal conditions, a titer of calcium malate in the supernatant was 132 g/l at flask level. During a 10-l fermentation, a titer of 168 g/l, a yield of 1.28 g/g of glucose, and a productivity of 1.75 g/l/h were reached within 96 h of the fermentation, and 93.4 % of the sugar was used for calcium malate production and cell growth, demonstrating that the titer, yield, and productivity of calcium malate by this fungal strain were very high and the fermentation period was very short. After analysis of the partially purified product with high-performance liquid chromatography, it was found that the main product was calcium malate. The results demonstrated that P. viticola 152 obtained in this study was the most suitable for developing a novel one-step fermentation process for calcium malate production from glucose on a large scale.
