发酵木糖生产乙醇的野生菌和转基因菌的研究进展

木糖发酵是利用植物纤维原料生物转化制取乙醇工业化生产的技术基础和关键。野生酵母中有些种属菌株可以高效利用木糖产生乙醇,其中毕赤酵母（Pichiastipim）的乙醇转化速度最高达到0．99g／L／h,转化率几乎接近理论值0．5g／g,发酵液中最高乙醇浓度可迭到（61±9）g／L。但工业生产中要达到毕赤酵母所要求的微氧最佳发酵条件比较困难。近十几年来许多研究尝试根据代谢工程原理,利用基因工程技术对酿酒酵母进行改造。从而提高其发酵木糖产生乙醇的能力。这些研究大多是将毕赤酵母的一些木糖发酵关键酶基因（XYL1、XYL2、XYL3以及ADHl、ADH2等）转入酿酒酵母细胞内,并试图得到正常转录和表达。但到目前为止,大部分的重组菌株的乙醇发酵性能还没有达到工业生产的要求。     

以葡萄糖为生长相基质的重组毕赤酵母表达植酸酶发酵

甲醇营养型毕赤酵母表达外源蛋白是在醇氧化酶（alcohol oxidase,AOX）启动子（PAOXI）严格调控下进行的,然而这种启动子在转录水平受到葡萄糖的阻遏。本文研究了毕赤酵母在葡萄糖替代甘油为生长相碳源时表达重组植酸酶蛋白的发酵特征。结果表明：初始葡萄糖浓度为20dL的细胞得率高,为0．39g[DCW]／g。通过基于实时参数（溶氧和呼吸商）调控的葡萄糖补料策略,生长相40h后细胞密度达到100g[DCW]／L,甲醇诱导100h后植酸酶产量达到2200FTUphytase／mL,甲醇得率系数为0．25FTU phytase／gmethnol。因此,在毕赤酵母高表达重组蛋白培养中葡萄糖能够用作生长相基质,并能实现重组蛋白的高效表达。

Oxalic acid metabolism and calcium oxalate formation in Lemna minor L.

Abstract Axenic Lemna minor plants, which form numerous calcium oxalate crystals, were exposed to [¹⁴C]-glycolic acid, -glyoxylic acid, -oxalic acid and -ascorbic acid and prepared for microautoradiography by a technique that preserves only insoluble label to determine specifically the pathway leading to oxalic acid used for crystal formation. Label from glycolic, glyoxylic, and oxalic acids was incorporated into crystals. Label from oxalic acid was also found in starch when exposure to label was done in the light but not dark, while plastids specialized for lipid storage were heavily labelled under both conditions. Incorporation of label from glycolic and glyoxylic acids, but not oxalic acid, was inhibited in the presence of the glycolate oxidase inhibitors, αHPMS (2-pyridylhydroxy methanesulphonic acid) and mHBA (methyl 2-hydroxy-3-butynoic acid), and inhibition of labelling was not due to an effect on uptake. These studies show that the glycolate oxidase pathway to oxalic acid is operational in L. minor and that the product is available for crystal formation. Dark-grown plants form almost four times as many crystal cells (idioblasts) as do light-grown plants, indicating crystal formation is not in response to photorespiratory glycolate production. Label from [1-¹⁴C]ascorbic acid was also incorporated into crystals and labelling was inhibited by mHBA, indicating glycolic acid and/or glyoxylic acid are possible intermediates of ascorbic acid catabolism. The effect of nitrogen source on crystal formation was also investigated. Significantly more crystal idioblasts were formed, on a surface area basis, by plants grown on ammonium than by plants grown on nitrate nitrogen. When grown with mixed ammonium and nitrate, an intermediate number of crystal idioblasts were formed.     

Expression of active spinach glycolate oxidase in Aspergillus nidulans

The biocatalytic production of glyoxylic acid from glycolic acid requires two enzymes: glycolate oxidase, which catalyzes the oxidation of glycolic acid by oxygen to produce glyoxylic acid and hydrogen peroxide, and catalase, which decomposes the byproduct hydrogen peroxide. As an alternative to isolation from the leaf peroxisomes of spinach, glycolate oxidase has now been cloned and expressed in transformants of Aspergillus nidulans T580 at levels ranging from 1.7 to 36 IU/g dry wt. cells. The glycolate oxidase of transformant strain T17 comprises ca. 1.9% of total cell protein and is expressed at near 100% activity. (c) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Enantioselective oxidation of 2‐hydroxy carboxylic acids by glycolate oxidase and catalase coexpressed in methylotrophic Pichia pastoris

Glycolate oxidase (GO; (S)‐2‐hydroxyacid oxidase, EC 1.1.3.15) is a flavin mononucleotide (FMN)‐dependent enzyme, which catalyzes the oxidation of 2‐hydroxy carboxylic acids to the corresponding 2‐keto acids. Catalase has been used as cocatalyst to decompose hydrogen peroxide produced in the reaction, thus limiting peroxide‐based side reactions and GO deactivation. GO from spinach and catalase T from Saccharomyces cerevisiae previously coexpressed in Pichia pastoris strain NRRL Y‐21001, was permeabilized and used for the oxidation of 3‐phenyllactic acid, 3‐indolelactic acid, 3‐chlorolactic acid, 2‐hydroxybutanoic acid, and 2‐hydroxydecanoic acid to demonstrate high degree of selectivity to the (S)‐enantiomers, leaving (R)‐isomers intact. The rates of oxidation ranged from 1.3 to 120.0%, relative to the oxidation of lactic acid to pyruvic acid. The best substrates were 3‐chlorolactic acid (110%) and 2‐hydroxybutanoic acid (120%). Oxidation was carried out with (R)‐, (S)‐, and (RS)‐3‐phenyllactic acid, (RS)‐lactic acid, and (RS)‐2‐hydroxybutanoic acid in 500 mL scale to characterize the products and stoichiometry of the reaction. All (RS)‐ and (S)‐2‐hydroxy acids produced 2‐keto acids at close to the theoretical yield in 1–9 h. (R)‐3‐Phenyllactic acid was not oxidized over a period of 9 h. Addition of exogenous FMN and catalase were not required for this oxidation using double recombinant Pichia pastoris whole cells. As GO is absolutely specific to (S)‐enantiomers, it can be used for resolution of racemic 2‐hydroxy acids to (R)‐2‐hydroxy acids as well as for production of 2‐keto acids. This is the first report on the selectivity of a broad range of 2‐hydroxy acids by GO. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol. Prog., 2010     

Degradation of 1,4-dioxane and cyclic ethers by an isolated fungus

By using 1,4-dioxane as the sole source of carbon, a 1,4-dioxane-degrading microorganism was isolated from soil. The fungus, termed strain A, was able to utilize 1,4-dioxane and many kinds of cyclic ethers as the sole source of carbon and was identified as Cordyceps sinensis from its 18S rRNA gene sequence. Ethylene glycol was identified as a degradation product of 1,4-dioxane by the use of deuterated 1,4-dioxane-d8 and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. A degradation pathway involving ethylene glycol, glycolic acid, and oxalic acid was proposed, followed by incorporation of the glycolic acid and/or oxalic acid via glyoxylic acid into the tricarboxylic acid cycle.
