细胞工厂是生物制造的重要技术平台,为生物质资源的开发和利用奠定了基础.代谢传质是细胞新陈代谢必不可少的部分,也是提高代谢产物合成的关键因素之一.胞内传质的方式和对象多样、效率不一,低效率的代谢传质严重影响了细胞工厂的生产能力.跨膜传质和无膜传质是代谢传质的两种主要形式,通过对这两种传质途径的改造和优化,可以提高细胞工厂生产初级代谢产物、次级代谢产物和生物大分子的能力.运用合成生物学和代谢工程手段,从多个角度对细胞的传质途径进行改造或从头设计、构建,可以有效提高代谢传质的效率、降低中间代谢物的损耗、提高目标产物的产量.本文从不同类型的代谢传质出发,总结了近年来利用强化代谢传质提高细胞工厂合成能力的研究,为更加深入、系统地研究代谢传质,拓宽其在细胞工厂生产中的应用提供了参考和策略. 相似文献

该文研究了双载蛋白(amphiphysin,Amph)对果蝇S2细胞吞噬大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli,E.coli)的影响。在S2细胞吞入E.coli后,Amph m RNA的表达水平明显升高;但用Amph-si RNA处理后的S2细胞,其Amph蛋白质水平显著低于正常和吞噬E.coli的S2细胞。透射电镜观察发现,S2细胞可以吞噬热灭活的E.coli,且细胞内存在典型的吞噬小体,而用Amph-si RNA处理的S2细胞内则未发现吞噬小体,说明Amph可能对吞噬体形成起关键作用。Amph-si RNA处理的S2细胞对E.coli的吞噬率显著低于未用Amph-si RNA处理的S2细胞,说明敲低Amph会显著地抑制S2细胞对E.coli的吞噬率。上述结果表明,Amph在果蝇S2细胞吞噬E.coli的过程中起重要的调节作用。 相似文献

AIMS: The intention of this study was to provide evidence of any Listeria spp. or Escherichia coli strain persistence, and to identify whether strains of these organisms adapt to specific environmental or product niches in food factories. METHODS AND RESULTS: A 3-year assessment of the microbial ecology of four, ready-to-eat food-processing factories was undertaken in which approx. 196 000 and 75 000 product and environmental samples were examined for Escherichia coli and Listeria spp. respectively. A total of 152 E. coli isolates (44 environmental and 108 product in 62 ribogroups) and 260 Listeria spp. isolates (174 environmental and 86 product in 30 ribogroups) were identified and ribotyped. The overall prevalence of E. coli (0.08%), all Listeria spp. (0.35%) and L. monocytogenes (0.23%) was very low. Some 10 E. coli ribogroups and 14 Listeria spp. ribogroups showed evidence for persistence, defined as the isolation of the same strain, from the same site, over a prolonged time period. The majority of E. coli strains were product niche oriented whilst the majority of Listeria spp. strains were environmental niche oriented. CONCLUSION: Current UK high-risk food factory designs, personnel hygiene and cleaning and disinfection regimes are sufficient to control Listeria spp. and E. coli to very low levels. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Persistent strains of these organisms, however, can remain within factory high-risk production areas over considerable time periods, warranting an examination of the strain persistence mechanisms and alternative hygiene controls. 相似文献

Supermacroporous monolithic columns with Cu(2+)-IDA ligands have been successfully used for chromatographic separation of different types of microbial cells. The bed of monolithic matrix is formed by a cryogel of poly(acrylamide) cross-linked with methylenebis(acrylamide) and has a network of large (10-100 microm) interconnected pores allowing unhindered passage of whole cells through the plain cryogel column containing no ligands. Two model systems have been studied: the mixtures of wild-type Escherichia coli (w.t. E. coli) and recombinant E. coli cells displaying poly-His peptides (His-tagged E. coli) and of w.t. E. coli and Bacillus halodurans cells. Wild-type E. coli and His-tagged E. coli were quantitatively captured from the feedstock containing equal amounts of both cell types and recovered by selective elution with imidazole and EDTA, with yields of 80% and 77%, respectively. The peak obtained after EDTA elution was 8-fold enriched with His-tagged E. coli cells as compared with the peak from imidazole elution, which contained mainly weakly bound w.t. E. coli cells. Haloalkalophilic B. halodurans cells had low affinity to the Cu(2+)-IDA cryogel column and could be efficiently separated from a mixture with w.t. E. coli cells, which were retained and recovered in high yields from the column with imidazole gradient. All the cells maintained their viability after the chromatographic procedure. The results show that chromatography on affinity supermacroporous monolithic columns is a promising approach to efficient separations of individual cell types. 相似文献

Mechanism of enhancement of microbial cell hydrophobicity by cationic polymers. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8 下载免费PDF全文
Polycationic polymers have been noted for their effects in promoting cell adhesion to various surfaces, but previous studies have failed to describe a mechanism dealing with this type of adhesion. In the present study, three polycationic polymers (chitosan, poly-L-lysine, and lysozyme) were tested for their effects on microbial hydrophobicity, as determined by adhesion to hydrocarbon and polystyrene. Test strains (Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, and a nonhydrophobic mutant, MR-481, derived from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus RAG-1) were vortexed with hexadecane in the presence of the various polycations, and the extent of adhesion was measured turbidimetrically. Adhesion of all three test strains rose from near zero values to over 90% in the presence of low concentrations of chitosan (125 to 250 micrograms/ml). Adhesion occurred by adsorption of chitosan directly to the cell surface, since E. coli cells preincubated in the presence of the polymer were highly adherent, whereas hexadecane droplets pretreated with chitosan were subsequently unable to bind untreated cells. Inorganic cations (Na+, Mg2+) inhibited the chitosan-mediated adhesion of E. coli to hexadecane, presumably by interfering with the electrostatic interactions responsible for adsorption of the polymer to the bacterial surface. Chitosan similarly promoted E. coli adhesion to polystyrene at concentrations slightly higher than those which mediated adhesion to hexadecane. Poly-L-lysine also promoted microbial adhesion to hexadecane, although at concentrations somewhat higher than those observed for chitosan. In order to study the effect of the cationic protein lysozyme, adhesion was studied at 0 degree C (to prevent enzymatic activity), using n-octane as the test hydrocarbon. Adhesion of E. coli increased by 70% in the presence of 80 micrograms of lysozyme per ml. When the negatively charged carboxylate residues on the E. coli cell surface were substituted for positively charged ammonium groups, the resulting cells became highly hydrophobic, even in the absence of polycations. The observed "hydrophobicity" of the microbial cells in the presence of polycations is thus probably due to a loss of surface electronegativity. The data suggest that enhancement of hydrophobicity by polycationic polymers is a general phenomenon. 相似文献

It is established that glucose restriction extends yeast chronological and replicative lifespan, but little is known about the influence of amino acids on yeast lifespan, although some amino acids were reported to delay aging in rodents. Here we show that amino acid composition greatly alters yeast chronological lifespan. We found that non-essential amino acids (to yeast) methionine and glutamic acid had the most significant impact on yeast chronological lifespan extension, restriction of methionine and/or increase of glutamic acid led to longevity that was not the result of low acetic acid production and acidification in aging media. Remarkably, low methionine, high glutamic acid and glucose restriction additively and independently extended yeast lifespan, which could not be further extended by buffering the medium (pH 6.0). Our preliminary findings using yeasts with gene deletion demonstrate that glutamic acid addition, methionine and glucose restriction prompt yeast longevity through distinct mechanisms. This study may help to fill a gap in yeast model for the fast developing view that nutrient balance is a critical factor to extend lifespan. 相似文献

A new antimicrobial peptide, cryptonin, was isolated and characterized from the adult Korean blackish cicada, Cryptotympana dubia. It consists of 24 amino acid residues and has a molecular weight of 2,704 Da on mass spectroscopy. The predicted alpha-helical structure analysis and increased helix percent in 40% trifloroethanol of cryptonin suggests that it belongs to the typical linear alpha-helix forming peptide. Binding of the biotin-labeled cryptonin at the surface of E. coli cells and increased influx of propidium iodide in E. coli after cryptonin treatment indicates that it kills microbial cells by binding bacterial cell surfaces and disrupting the cell permeability. Cryptonin showed strong antibacterial (MIC 1.56-25 microg/ml) and antifungal (MIC 3.12-50 microg/ml) activities against tested bacteria and fungi including two antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains; methicilin-resistant S. aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (MIC 25 microg/ml, each). 相似文献

Compounds that delay aging in model organisms may be of significant interest to antiaging medicine, since these substances potentially provide pharmaceutical approaches to promote healthy lifespan in humans. The aim of the study was to test whether pharmaceutical concentrations of the glycolytic inhibitor lonidamine are capable of extending lifespan in a nematodal model organism for aging processes, the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans. Several hundreds of adult C. elegans roundworms were maintained on agar plates and fed E. coli strain OP50 bacteria. Lonidamine was applied to test whether it may promote longevity by quantifying survival in the presence and absence of the compound. In addition, several biochemical and metabolic assays were performed with nematodes exposed to lonidamine. Lonidamine significantly extends both median and maximum lifespan of C. elegans when applied at a concentration of 5 micromolar by 8% each. Moreover, the compound increases paraquat stress resistance, and promotes mitochondrial respiration, culminating in increased formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Extension of lifespan requires activation of pmk-1, an orthologue of p38 MAP kinase, and is abolished by co-application of an antioxidant, indicating that increased ROS formation is required for the extension of lifespan by lonidamine. Consistent with the concept of mitohormesis, lonidamine is capable of promoting longevity in a pmk-1 sensitive manner by increasing formation of ROS. 相似文献

Chronological and replicative aging have been studied in yeast as alternative paradigms for post-mitotic and mitotic aging, respectively. It has been known for more than a decade that cells of the S288C background aged chronologically in rich medium have reduced replicative lifespan relative to chronologically young cells. Here we report replication of this observation in the diploid BY4743 strain background. We further show that the reduction in replicative lifespan from chronological aging is accelerated when cells are chronologically aged under standard conditions in synthetic complete medium rather than rich medium. The loss of replicative potential with chronological age is attenuated by buffering the pH of the chronological aging medium to 6.0, an intervention that we have previously shown can extend chronological lifespan. These data demonstrate that extracellular acidification of the culture medium can cause intracellular damage in the chronologically aging population that is asymmetrically segregated by the mother cell to limit subsequent replicative lifespan. 相似文献

Calorie restriction extends the chronological lifespan of Saccharomyces cerevisiae independently of the Sirtuins 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Calorie restriction (CR) extends the mean and maximum lifespan of a wide variety of organisms ranging from yeast to mammals, although the molecular mechanisms of action remain unclear. For the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae reducing glucose in the growth medium extends both the replicative and chronological lifespans (CLS). The conserved NAD(+)-dependent histone deacetylase, Sir2p, promotes replicative longevity in S. cerevisiae by suppressing recombination within the ribosomal DNA locus and has been proposed to mediate the effects of CR on aging. In this study, we investigated the functional relationships of the yeast Sirtuins (Sir2p, Hst1p, Hst2p, Hst3p and Hst4p) with CLS and CR. SIR2, HST2, and HST4 were not major regulators of CLS and were not required for the lifespan extension caused by shifting the glucose concentration from 2 to 0.5% (CR). Deleting HST1 or HST3 moderately shortened CLS, but did not prevent CR from extending lifespan. CR therefore works through a Sirtuin-independent mechanism in the chronological aging system. We also show that low temperature or high osmolarity additively extends CLS when combined with CR, suggesting that these stresses and CR act through separate pathways. The CR effect on CLS was not specific to glucose. Restricting other simple sugars such as galactose or fructose also extended lifespan. Importantly, growth on nonfermentable carbon sources that force yeast to exclusively utilize respiration extended lifespan at nonrestricted concentrations and provided no additional benefit when restricted, suggesting that elevated respiration capacity is an important determinant of chronological longevity. 相似文献
