用带有α-乙酰乳酸脱羧酶编码基因的固定化酵母生产啤酒

啤酒酵母VTT-A-88085(A-85)是含有α-乙酰乳酸脱羧酶(α-ALDC)基因的试验菌株。它是由深层发酵啤酒酵母VTT-A-63015(A-15)菌株构建的转化子。A-85是一株整合菌昧,即α-ald基因插入到酵母染色体DNA上,因此比用质粒转化得到的转化子更稳定。转化子产生的α-ALDC酶可直接把α-乙酰乳酸转化成乙偶姻而不形成双乙酰,因此可以免除或缩短常规啤酒发酵所需的冗长的后期发酵。

Construction of amylolytic industrial brewing yeast strain with high glutathione content for manufacturing beer with improved anti-staling capability and flavor

Glutathione in beer works as the main antioxidant compounds which correlates with beer flavor stability. High residual sugars in beer contribute to major non-volatile components which correlate to high caloric content. In this work, Saccharomyces cerevisiae GSH1 gene encoding glutamylcysteine synthetase and Scharomycopsis fibuligera ALP1 gene encoding alpha-amylase were co-expressed in industrial brewing yeast strain Y31 targeting at alpha-acetolactate synthase (AHAS) gene (ILV2) and alcohol dehydrogenase gene (ADH2), and new recombinant strain TY3 was constructed. The glutathione content from the fermentation broth of TY3 increased to 43.83 mg/l compared to 33.34 mg/l from Y31. The recombinant strain showed high alpha-amylase activity and utilized more than 46% of starch after 5 days growing on starch as sole carbon source. European Brewery Convention tube fermentation tests comparing the fermentation broth of TY3 and Y31 showed that the flavor stability index increased to 1.3 fold and residual sugar concentration were reduced by 76.8%, respectively. Due to the interruption of ILV2 gene and ADH2 gene, the amounts of off-flavor compounds diacetyl and acetaldehyde were reduced by 56.93% and 31.25%, comparing with the amounts of these from Y31 fermentation broth. In addition, as no drug-resistance genes were introduced to new recombinant strain, consequently, it should be more suitable for use in beer industry because of its better flavor stability and other beneficial characteristics.     

Genetic modification of industrial yeast strains to obtain controllable NewFlo flocculation property and lower diacetyl production

The expression cassette I10 containing the new-found flocculation gene, FLONS, was transformed into an industrial strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae YSF5. Upstream activating sequences of the S. cerevisiae alcohol dehydrogenase II (ADH2) gene promoter (P_U-ADH2) were used to regulate the expression of FLONS; α-acetolactate synthase gene ILV2 was chosen for homologous recombination of I10 to the YSF5 chromosome; copper binding metallothionein (encoded by CUP1) was used for selection of transformants. Ten randomly selected transformants exhibited increased flocculation ability of 1.5 to 2.3 fold more than the original strain. Based on their sensitivity to glucose, maltose and sucrose, flocculation property of the transformants was supported to be NewFlo-type. After successive subculture, the introduced CUP1 remained in the transformants. At the end of simulated fermentation test, diacetyl content of the culture media of 5I-1 was 0.45 g l⁻¹, lower than YSF5 (0.48 g l⁻¹).

Induction of production and secretion β(1→4) glucanase with Saccharomyces cerevesiae by replacing the MET10 gene with egl1 gene from Trichoderma reesei

Aims:  To construct novel brewer's yeast strains with the ability to degrade β-glucan and increase sulfite levels in beer brewing by genetic manipulation.
Methods and Results:  The recombinant plasmid pA15ME containing P_met10-egl1-T_met10 expression cassette was constructed. Bam HI-linearized target plasmid pA15ME was transformed into the industrial brewer's yeast strain Z0103 to replace the MET10 locus through one-step gene replacement. The recombinants Z8, Z7 and Z3 with the ability to secrete active endo-β-1,4-glucanase I into the culture medium were isolated by Congo red dyeing. The enzymatic activities of EG I of Z8, Z7 and Z3 were 3·3, 1·5, 1·3 U l⁻¹, and the hydrolysing degrees of β-glucans in wort were increased 11·9%, 8·6% and 6·9%, respectively, than that of original strain Z0103. The MET10 gene deletions were confirmed by real-time PCR, and the sulfite levels of the culture mediums inoculated with Z8, Z7 and Z3 were increased 26%, 16% and 17%, respectively, compared to that of Z0103.
Conclusions:  The novel endoglucanase-producing brewer's yeast strains with inserted endoglucanase gene and deficient MET10 gene led to reduced content of barley β-glucans, enhanced filterability and increased sulfur dioxide in fermenting wort. Thus, the cost for addition of microbial β-glucanase enzyme and sulfite preparations in normal beer brewing processes could be reduced.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  These results suggested that genetic engineering approach is a powerful tool to construct the novel recombinant brewer's yeast strains with different properties to reduce the cost of beer brewing and improve the flavour of a beer, and the strains obtained have potential application value in beer brewing.     

衔接重复序列对酵母菌絮凝蛋白功能的调控作用

【目的】了解絮凝基因FLO1中重复DNA序列B和D对絮凝蛋白Flo1p功能的影响,为构建遗传稳定的最小絮凝功能基因奠定理论基础。【方法】通过PCR和融合PCR方法分别克隆到完整的絮凝基因FLO1、重复DNA序列B和D分别缺失的衍生基因FLO1b和FLO1d,分析这些基因在非絮凝酵母中表达对细胞絮凝特性的影响。【结果】与完整絮凝基因相比,重复DNA序列B和D分别缺失后对酵母细胞絮凝强度没有明显影响,但不同基因在酵母菌中表达产生的絮凝特性受环境因素,如甘露糖浓度和pH等的影响有明显差异。FLO1中重复DNA序列B和D缺失后,细胞絮凝特性受甘露糖抑制的敏感性降低;同时对环境pH的改变具有更广泛的适应性。【结论】重复DNA序列B和D对絮凝蛋白Flo1p结构和功能具有调控作用,二者缺失后,特别是D缺失后会使絮凝蛋白在极端酸碱环境下更稳定。     

Expression of cloned plasmid regions encoding colonization factor antigen I (CFA/I) in Escherichia coli

Molecular cloning from a plasmid encoding colonization factor antigen I (CFA/I) and heat-stable enterotoxin isolated two regions, 1 and 2, that are required for the production of CFA/I fimbriae. The level of CFA/I synthesis measured by ELISA was similar in an Escherichia coli K12 strain carrying regions 1 and 2 cloned separately on compatible plasmid vectors to that in the same strain containing the parental plasmid. The structural gene for the CFA/I fimbrial subunit was within region 1. This region directed production in E. coli minicells of at least six independent polypeptides, of which the fimbrial subunit and at least three others appeared to be synthesized as precursor molecules that underwent processing. Cloned DNA containing CFA/I region 2 specified three polypeptides in minicells. Attempts to reduce the size of the cloned region 1 resulted in a derivative plasmid that carried the CFA/I structural gene but did not complement a region-2 recombinant plasmid to restore production of CFA/I fimbriae.
