短乳杆菌与植物乳杆菌的发酵特性

【背景】目前对于酸菜发酵的研究主要关注点是植物乳杆菌(Lactobacillus plantarum),有关短乳杆菌(Lactobacillus brevis)在酸菜方面的研究报道很少。【目的】为了挖掘短乳杆菌的发酵性能并开发酸菜发酵剂,将2株短乳杆菌分别与1株植物乳杆菌进行组合并发酵酸菜,分析短乳杆菌对酸菜发酵品质的影响。【方法】分别测定短乳杆菌与植物乳杆菌的单菌株生长产酸性能、耐酸性及亚硝酸盐降解力,并将两菌种组合后发酵酸菜,分析1-7d内酸度、乳酸菌活菌数、亚硝酸盐含量及酸菜质构特性的变化趋势。【结果】相较于短乳杆菌Lb-9-2,短乳杆菌Lb-5-3的生长和产酸速率较慢、酸耐受力较弱,但其亚硝酸盐降解力较强。两株短乳杆菌分别与植物乳杆菌Lp-9-1组合后产酸力显著增强,并在3 d时达到最低pH值(约3.10);植物乳杆菌Lp-9-1的添加使酸菜中总体乳酸菌生长延迟,在5 d时达到最高活菌数;组合菌种的样品中亚硝酸盐含量在1-7 d内变化较为平缓,前5天内两个组合之间差异不显著;接种乳酸菌会降低酸菜硬度和弹性,发酵3d时Lb-5-3/Lp-9-1组合的硬度最大,感官评价得分最高。【...

Aromatic aminotransferases in coryneform bacteria.

Species of coryneform bacteria (Corynebacterium glutamicum, Brevibacterium flavum, and B. ammoniagenes) are capable of transaminating all three of the aromatic pathway intermediates; prephenate, phenylpyruvate, and 4-hydroxy-phenylpyruvate. Two molecular species of aromatic aminotransferase (denoted aminotransferase I and aminotransferase II) were partially purified from C. glutamicum and B. flavum, whereas a single aromatic aminotransferase was isolated from B. ammoniagenes. In both C. glutamicum and B. flavum, aromatic aminotransferase I and aromatic aminotransferase II have molecular weights of about 155,000 and 260,000 respectively. The two aromatic aminotransferases from C. glutamicum and B. flavum, although exhibiting a similar spectrum of overlapping specificities, differ substantially in substrate preference. Pyridoxal-5'-phosphate is tightly associated with these aminotransferases, since little loss of activity was detected when partially purified enzyme preparations were assayed in the absence of exogenous pyridoxal-5'-phosphate. The aminotransferases are quite sensitive to inhibition by phenylhydrazine. This has practical application when assay of prephenate dehydratase is desired in the presence of aromatic aminotransferase activity since potentially trivial interference can be negated by selective phenylhydrazine inhibition of aromatic aminotransferase activity. At 0.1 mM concentrations of phenylhydrazine, 90% inhibitions of aminotransferase activities were achieved in partially purified preparations of B. flavum and C. glutamicum.     

Obligatory biosynthesis of L-tyrosine via the pretyrosine branchlet in coryneform bacteria.

Species of coryneform bacteria (Corynebacterium glutamicum, Brevibacterium flavum, and B. ammoniagenes) utilize pretyrosine [beta-(1-carboxy-4-hydroxy-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-yl) alanine] as an intermediate in L-tyrosine biosynthesis. Pretyrosine is formed from prephenate via the activity of at least one species of aromatic aminotransferase which is significantly greater with prephenate as substrate than with either phenylpyruvate or 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate. Pretyrosine dehydrogenase, capable of converting pretyrosine to L-tyrosine, has been partially purified from all three species. Each of the three pretyrosine dehydrogenases is catalytically active with either nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate as cofactors. The Km values for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate in C. glutamicum and B. flavum are 55 microM and 14.2 microM, respectively, and corresponding Km values for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide are 350 microM and 625 microM, respectively. The molecular weights of pretyrosine dehydrogenase in C. glutamicum and in B. flavum are both about 158,000, compared with 68,000 moleculr weitht in B. ammoniagenes. In all three species the enzyme is not feedback inhibited by L-tyrosine. Results obtained with various auxotropic mutants, which were used to manipulate internal concentrations of L-tyrosine, suggest that pretyrosine dehydrogenase is expressed constitutively. Pretyrosine dehydrogenase is quite sensitive to p-hydroxymercuribenzoic acid, complete inhibition being achieved at 10 to 25 microM concentrations. This inhibition is readily reversed by thiol reagents such as 2-mercaptoethanol. Coryneform organisms, like species of blue-green bacteria, appear to lack the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate pa thway of L-tyrosine synthesis altogether. The loss of pretyrosine dehydrogenase in extracts prepared from a tyrosine auxotroph affirms the exclusive role of pretyrosine dehydrogenase in L-tyrosine biosynthesis. Other reports in the literature, in which the presence in these organisms of prephenate dehydrogenase is described, appear to be erroneous.

Nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide synthesis by microorganisms

The ability of five bacterial strains, i.e., Brevibacterium ammoniagenes ATCC 6872, Brevibacterium flavum ATCC 14067, Brevibacterium 22, Corynebacterium ATCC 21084, Micrococcus glutamicus ATCC 13032, to utilize exogenous precursors (nicotinamide and adenine or ATP) was investigated during NAD synthesis under fermentation conditions and during incubation of acetone-dried cells. It was found that dry cells of Brevibacterium three strains were most active. However, under fermentation conditions Br. flavum ATCC 14067 and Brevibacterium 22 accumulated NAD in the amounts 3J4 times lower than the well-known producer Br. ammoniagenes ATCC 6872. One of the possible factors responsible for the low yield of NAD by Brevibacterium 22 under fermentation conditions can be the reduced ribose synthesis.     

Free mycolic acids of the cells of coryneform and Nocardia-like bacteria

The composition of free mycolic acids was studied in the cells of Brevibacterium ammoniagenes ATCC 6871, B. flavum 22, B. stationis ATCC 14403, Corynebacterium divaricatum ATCC 14020 and Rhodococcus maris IMV 195. The acids are a mixture of saturated and unsaturated compounds with the total number of carbon atoms from 32 to 36 and the number of C atoms in the alpha-chain from 10 to 15.     

Immobilization of Brevibacterium flavum with carrageenan and its application for continuous production of l-malic acid

Extensive experiments were carried out to improve the productivity ofl-malic acid from fumaric acid using Brevibacterium flavum immobilized with carrageenan. The most favourable preparation for the continuous production ofl-malic acid was obtained when 16 g of B. flavum cells was entrapped in 100 ml 3.4% carrageenan gel. However, the immobilized cells produced an unwanted by-product, succinic acid. Treatment of the immobilized cells with 0.6% bile extract suppressed the side reaction and gave the highest operational stability of fumarase activity. By the immobilization of intact cells, the optimal temperature of the enzyme reaction shifted to 10°C higher, the optimal pH became broader, and the operational stability of fumarase activity increased. The effect of temperature on the stability of fumarase activity in the immobilized cell column was investigated under conditions of continuous enzyme reaction. The decay of fumarase activity during continuous enzyme reaction was expressed by an exponential relationship. The productivity of the immobilized B. flavum using carrageenan was as high as 5.2 times that of the conventional immobilized B. ammoniagenes using polyacrylamide.     

Isolation of promoters from Brevibacterium flavum strain MJ233C and comparison of their gene expression levels in B. flavum and Escherichia coli

Abstract A promoter probe shuttle vector suitable for the isolation of promoter elements from coryneform bacteria was constructed. This vector carried the neomycin phosphotransferase (NPTII) gene from transposon Tn 5 as a reporter gene, and was capable of replication in both Escherichia coli and Brevibacterium flavum . The vector was used in the construction of a B. flavum library of 899 independently isolated promoter clones. Promoters with a wide range of activities in B. flavum , including some very strong promoter elements, were isolated. Comparative analysis suggests that significant differences between B. flavum and E. coli may exist in the determinants of promoter strength.     

Identification and functional differentiation of two type I fatty acid synthases in Brevibacterium ammoniagenes.

The fatty acid synthase (FAS) from Brevibacterium ammoniagenes is a homohexameric multienzyme complex that catalyzes the synthesis of both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. By immunological screening of a B. ammoniagenes expression library, an fas DNA fragment was isolated and subsequently used to clone the entire gene together with its flanking sequences. Within 10,525 bp of sequenced DNA, the 9,189-bp FAS coding region was identified, corresponding to a protein of 3,063 amino acids with a molecular mass of 324,910 Da. This gene (fasA) encodes, at its 5' end, the same amino acid sequence as is observed with purified B. ammoniagenes FAS. A second reading frame encoding another B. ammoniagenes FAS variant (FasB) had been identified previously. Both sequences are colinear and exhibit 61 and 47% identity at the DNA and protein levels, respectively. By using specific antibodies raised against a unique peptide sequence of FasB, this enzyme was shown to represent only 5 to 10% of the cellular FAS protein. Insertional inactivation of the FasB coding sequence causes no defective phenotype, while fasA disruptants require oleic acid for growth. Correspondingly, oleate-dependent B. ammoniagenes cells obtained by ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis were complemented by transformation with fasA DNA but not with fasB DNA. The data indicate that B. ammoniagenes contains two related though differently expressed type I FASs. FasA represents the bulk of cellular FAS protein and catalyzes the synthesis of both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, while the minor variant, FasB, cannot catalyze the synthesis of oleic acid.     

Thermal regulation of fatty acid synthetase from Brevibacterium ammoniagenes.

The fatty acid composition of Brevibacterium ammoniagenes was affected by the temperature of growth. As the growth temperature was lowered, the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids increased. The fatty acid synthetase obtained from B. ammoniagense produced oleic acid as well as saturated fatty acids. The ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids synthesized by this enzyme in vitro was dependent on the temperature of the enzyme reaction but not on the growth temperature of B. ammoniagenes from which the enzyme was prepared. These results suggest that the changes of composition in cellular fatty acids reflect the temperature dependence of the fatty acid synthetase.
