产辅酶Q10酵母的发酵条件研究

研究了豆油、豆粉、胡萝卜汁、西红柿汁、烟叶、β-胡萝卜素、桔子皮汁等自然物的添加对酵母发酵生产CoQ10的影响,结果表明它们均能大幅度提高酵母菌中CoQ10的含量。其中豆油、豆粉、西红柿汁、桔子皮汁是富含CoQ10。和胡萝卜素合成途经中的前体物质因而提高了CoQ10的产量;烟叶和β-胡萝卜素阻断了合成β-胡萝卜素的途经从而起到提高CoQ10合成的作用;胡萝卜汁的作用可能两兼而有之。因此可以得出以下结论,微生物中Co10的合成与β-胡萝卜素的合成密切相关。

Ssh10b2与其同源蛋白Ssh10b在细胞含量及固定DNA超螺旋的能力上存在明显差异

极端嗜热古菌———芝田硫化叶菌(Sulfolobus shibatae)基因组含一对亲缘关系较远的同源基因,ssh10b和ssh10b2。这对同源基因编码的蛋白(Ssh10b和Ssh10b2)属于古菌Sac10b DNA结合蛋白家族。关于Ssh10b以及与其极为相似的硫矿硫化叶菌(S.solfataricus)Sso10b、嗜酸热硫化叶菌(S.acidocaldarius)Sac10b蛋白已有较多研究,推测这些蛋白可能在染色体组织和包装、DNA重组、基因表达调控等方面起作用。克隆并在大肠杆菌中表达了ssh10b2基因,纯化了重组Ssh10b2蛋白。免疫印迹定量分析表明,ssh10b2在芝田硫化叶菌中有表达,但其细胞含量仅相当于Ssh10b的约十分之一。重组Ssh10b2对双链DNA的亲和力低于Ssh10b。此外,Ssh10b2和Ssh10b在与双链DNA结合时表现出相似的凝胶阻滞模式。有意思的是,Ssh10b2固定DNA负超螺旋的能力明显低于Ssh10b。这些结果提示,Ssh10b和Ssh10b2可能具有不同的生理作用。

Antimicrobial action of Lentinus edodes juice on human microflora

The action of the juice of Shiitake mushroom (L. edodes) on pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms, detected in cases of considerable dysbiotic changes (Escherichia coli O-114, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans), as well as on some bacterial eubiotic producer strains (Escherichia coli M-17, Bifidobacterium spp., Lactobacillus spp.). The juice of this mushroom at a concentration of 5% from the volume of the nutrient medium was found to produce a pronounced antimicrobial effect with respect to C. albicans, S. aureus, E. faecalis, E. coli O-114 and to stimulate the growth of E. coli M-17. Bifidobacteria and lactobacteria exhibited resistance to the action of L. edodes juice.     

Effects of nutrient supplements on biological efficiency, quality and crop cycle time of maitake (Grifola frondosa)

The effects of various combinations of wheat bran, rye and millet (at 20% and 30% of total dry substrate wt) on crop cycle time, biological efficiency (BE) and mushroom quality were evaluated for a commercially used isolate of Grifola frondosa (maitake). Supplements were combined with a basal ingredient of mixed oak (primarily red oak) sawdust, and the resulting mixture was pasteurized, cooled, inoculated and bagged with an autoclaving mixer. Times to mushroom primordial formation and mushroom harvest were recorded, and mushroom quality was rated on a scale of 1-4, where 1 was the highest quality and 4 was the lowest quality. The combinations of 10% wheat bran, 10% millet and 10% rye (BE 47.1%, quality 1.8 and crop cycle 12 weeks) and 10% wheat bran plus 20% rye (BE 44%, quality 1.7 and crop cycle 10 weeks) gave the most consistent yields and best basidiome quality over time.     

Production of probiotic cabbage juice by lactic acid bacteria

Research was undertaken to determine the suitability of cabbage as a raw material for production of probiotic cabbage juice by lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum C3, Lactobacillus casei A4, and Lactobacillus delbrueckii D7). Cabbage juice was inoculated with a 24-h-old lactic culture and incubated at 30 degrees C. Changes in pH, acidity, sugar content, and viable cell counts during fermentation under controlled conditions were monitored. L. casei, L. delbrueckii, and L. plantarum grew well on cabbage juice and reached nearly 10x10(8) CFU/mL after 48 h of fermentation at 30 degrees C. L. casei, however, produced a smaller amount of titratable acidity expressed as lactic acid than L. delbrueckii or L. plantarum. After 4 weeks of cold storage at 4 degrees C, the viable cell counts of L. plantarum and L. delbrueckii were still 4.1x10(7) and 4.5x10(5) mL(-1), respectively. L. casei did not survive the low pH and high acidity conditions in fermented cabbage juice and lost cell viability completely after 2 weeks of cold storage at 4 degrees C. Fermented cabbage juice could serve as a healthy beverage for vegetarians and lactose-allergic consumers.

Purification and characterization of RNA polymerase II resistant to alpha-amanitin from the mushroom Agaricus bisporus

The DNA-dependent RNA polymerases II or B (ribonucleosidetriphosphate:RNA nucleotidyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.6) from the mushroom Agaricus bisporus has been purified to apparent homogeneity. The purification procedures involve precipitation with polyethylenimine, selective elution of RNA polymerase II from the polyethylenimine precipitate, ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, CM-cellulose chromatography, and exclusion chromatography on Bio-Gel A-1.5M. With this procedure 11 mg of RNA polymerase II is recovered from 1.5 kg of mushroom tissue. RNA polymerase II from Agaricus bisporus has 12 subunits with the following molecular weights: 182,000, 140,000, 89,000, 69,000, 53,000, 41,000, 37,000, 31,000, 29,000, 25,000, 19,000, and 16,500. Purified RNA polymerase II from Agaricus bisporous was half-maximally inhibited by the mushroom toxin alpha-amanitin at a concentration of 6.5 microgram/mL (7 X 10(-6) M), which is 650-fold more resistant than mammalian RNA polymerases II. The apparent Ki for the alpha-amanitin-RNA polymerase complex was estimated to be 12 X 10(-6) M. The activity of purified RNA polymerase II from the mushroom was quite typical of other eukaryotic RNA polymerase II with regard to template preference, salt optima, and divalent metal cation optima.

Chaga mushroom extract inhibits oxidative DNA damage in human lymphocytes as assessed by comet assay

The Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) is claimed to have beneficial properties for human health, such as anti-bacterial, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. The antioxidant effects of the mushroom may be partly explained by protection of cell components against free radicals. We evaluated the effect of aqueous Chaga mushroom extracts for their potential for protecting against oxidative damage to DNA in human lymphocytes. Cells were pretreated with various concentrations (10, 50, 100 and 500 microg/mL) of the extract for 1 h at 37 degrees C. Cells were then treated with 100 microM of H2O2 for 5 min as an oxidative stress. Evaluation of oxidative damage was performed using single-cell gel electrophoresis for DNA fragmentation (Comet assay). Using image analysis, the degree of DNA damage was evaluated as the DNA tail moment. Cells pretreated with Chaga extract showed over 40% reduction in DNA fragmentation compared with the positive control (100 micromol H2O2 treatment). Thus, Chaga mushroom treatment affords cellular protection against endogenous DNA damage produced by H2O2.     

Effect of the Juice of Lime (Citrus Aurantifolia) on Estrous Cycle and Ovulation of Sprague-Dawley Rats

ObjectiveTo determine the effect of lime juice on the estrous cycle and ovulation of cyclic female rats.MethodsTwenty-five adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were used. The study was divided into 2 experiments (I and II). In experiment I, 15 rats were randomly subclassified into 3 groups (Ia, Ib, and Ic) of 5 rats each. The estrous cycles of the rats were studied for the first 16 days to establish cyclicity, after which lime juice was administered by gastric gavage for the next 24 days. Rats in group Ia received 1 mL of undiluted lime juice, rats in group Ib received 1 mL of 50% diluted lime juice, and rats in group Ic (control animals) received only distilled water. In experiment II, 10 female rats were used and were categorized into 2 groups (IIa and IIb), with 5 rats in each group. Rats in group IIa received 1 mL of undiluted lime juice during the morning of proestrus, and those in group IIb received only distilled water on the day of proestrus. The rats were killed the next day with use of chloroform anesthesia. The upper parts of the oviducts were excised and examined under the light microscope for assessment of the number of ova shed.ResultsThere was an irregular pattern in all phases of the estrous cycle of 100% of the rats given undiluted lime juice and in 80% of those given 50% diluted lime juice. There was a significant (P = .001) reduction in the number of ova shed in rats administered undiluted lime juice in comparison with the control animals. Ovulation was partially blocked, as shown by the reduced number of ova observed in the oviducts from the rats given undiluted lime juice (5.10 ± 2.37) in comparison with the control rats (12.70 ± 1.14).ConclusionIn rats, lime juice causes irregularity of the estrous cycle, partially blocks ovulation, and may possibly compromise fertility.

An anthocyanin/polyphenolic-rich fruit juice reduces oxidative DNA damage and increases glutathione level in healthy probands

Oxidative cell damage is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes and other diseases. Uptake of fruit juice with especially high content of antioxidant flavonoids/polyphenols, might reduce oxidative cell damage. Therefore, an intervention study was performed with a red mixed berry juice [trolox equivalent antioxidative capacity (TEAC): 19.1 mmol/L trolox] and a corresponding polyphenol-depleted juice (polyphenols largely removed, TEAC 2.4 mmol/L trolox), serving as control. After a 3-week run-in period, 18 male probands daily consumed 700 mL juice, and 9 consumed control juice, in a 4-week intervention, followed by a 3-week wash-out. Samples were collected weekly to analyze DNA damage (comet assay), lipid peroxidation (plasma malondialdehyde: HPLC/fluorescence; urinary isoprostanes: GC-MS), blood glutathione (photometrically), DNA-binding activity of nuclear factor-kappaB (ELISA) and plasma carotenoid/alpha-tocopherol levels (HPLC-DAD). During intervention with the fruit juice, a decrease of oxidative DNA damage (p<5x10(-4)) and an increase of reduced glutathione (p<5x10(-4)) and of glutathione status (p<0.05) were observed, which returned to the run-in levels in the subsequent wash-out phase. The other biomarkers were not significantly modulated by the juice supplement. Intervention with the control juice did not result in reduction of oxidative damage. In conclusion, the fruit juice clearly reduces oxidative cell damage in healthy probands.
