不同营养条件下斑玉蕈菌丝生长及产酶特性

分析测定了不同营养条件下斑玉蕈菌丝形态特征、生长速度及产酶规律。低碳氮盐培养基上菌丝生长速度最快,但其菌丝非常稀疏,边缘不整齐,在整个生长阶段酶活力(包括漆酶、锰过氧化物酶、木素过氧化物酶、木聚糖酶、纤维素酶)较低,营养不足对该菌菌丝生长速度影响不明显,但对菌丝形态和酶活有很大的影响;低氮条件下最先产生木质素过氧化物酶,说明限氮条件可以刺激木质素过氧化物酶的产生;高无机盐条件下最先产生漆酶和锰过氧化物酶,但菌丝生长速度较慢,酶活性比较低,浓度过高会影响菌丝生长。结果表明,不同的营养条件对斑玉蕈的菌丝生长及多种酶活性有很大影响,这为斑玉蕈改变营养条件调节菌丝生长速度、菌丝形态以及基质降解提供了理论依据,同时对斑玉蕈栽培过程中基质的高效利用、缩短生产周期、降低生产成本具有重要的指导意义。

Production of Phanerochaete chrysosporium lignin peroxidase

Liginin peroxidase (ligninase) of the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium Burdsall was discovered in 1982 as a secondary metabolite. Today multiple isoenzymes are known, which are often collectively called as lignin peroxidase. Lignin peroxidase has been characterized as a veratryl alcohol oxidizing enzyme, but it is a relatively unspecific enzyme catalyzing a variety of reactions with hydrogen peroxide as the electron acceptor. P. chrysosporium ligninases are heme glycoproteins. At least a number of isoenzymes are also phosphorylated. Two of the major isoenzymes have been crystallized. Until recently lignin peroxidase could only be produced in low yields in very small scale stationary cultures owing to shear sensitivity. Most strains produce the enzyme only after grown under nitrogen or carbon limitation, although strains producing lignin peroxidase under nutrient sufficiency have also been isolated. Activities over 2000 U dm(-3) (as determined at 30 degrees to 37 degrees C) have been reported in small scale Erlenmeyer cultures with the strain INA-12 grown on glycerol in the presence of soybean phospholipids under nitrogen sufficiency. In about 8 dm(3) liquid volume pilot scale higher than 100 U dm(-3) (as determined at 23 degrees C) have been obtained under agitation with immobilized P. chrysosporium strains ATCC 24725 or TKK 20512. Good results have been obtained for example with nylon web, polyurethane foam, sintered glass or silicon tubing as the carrier. The immobilized biocatalyst systems have also made large scale repeated batch and semicontinuous production possible. With nylon web as the carrier, lignin peroxidase production has recently been scaled up to 800 dm(3) liquid volume semicontinuous industrial production process.     

Lignin peroxidase production by strains of Phanerochaete chrysosporium grown on glycerol

Summary Lignin peroxidase production by several strains of Phanerochaete chrysosporium was determined during growth on glycerol under conditions of nitrogen sufficiency. Fungal strains which grew poorest on glycerol produced the highest titres of lignin peroxidase whereas enzyme levels were much lower when marginally greater biomass values were recorded. In the case of P. chrysosporium strain INA-12, the nature of the nitrogen source had a pronounced effect on both growth and enzyme production. Highest biomass values were obtained when l-glutamate or l-glutamine served as the major nitrogen source but enzyme synthesis was normally repressed completely. Lignin peroxidase activity in this strain was maximal when the initial pH of the culture medium was adjusted to pH 5.0.     

Elicitation of lignin biosynthesis and isoperoxidase activity by pectic fragments in suspension cultures of castor bean

Suspension cultures of castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) which have been treated with pectic fragment elicitor rapidly accumulate lignin as measured by derivatization with thioglycolic acid. The responsiveness of cultured cells to elicitor is dependent on the stage of culture growth. In 6-day (maximally responsive) cultures, increases in lignin are first evident 3 hours after addition of pectic fragment elicitor with maximal rates of lignin synthesis between 4 and 10 hours. The abundance of lignin in cultures after 12 hours of elicitor treatment is 10- to 20-fold higher than in untreated control cultures and can thereby account for as much as 2% of the dry cell weight. Only intermediate sizes of pectic oligomer are active as elicitors of lignin. Half-maximal accumulation of lignin occurs at 250 to 300 micrograms per milliliter of an optimal elicitor preparation with an average degree of polymerization of seven. We consider the synthesis of lignin in elicited cultures to be a mechanism of plant disease resistance which is induced by the elicitor. Plant peroxidases have been proposed to catalyze the last enzymatic steps in the biosynthesis of both lignin and hydrogen peroxide. Six extracellular isoenzymes of peroxidase (two anionic, designated A1 and A2, and four cationic, designated C2, C3, C4, and C7) are detectable in healthy suspension cultures of castor bean by native gel electrophoresis. Treatment of cultures with elicitor causes substantial changes in the activity of four of these species (A1, C2, C3, and C7). Elicitor treatment also results in the appearance of three new peroxidase isoenzymes that are not readily detectable in healthy cultures (C1, C5, and C6). Increases in the activities of these isoenzymes are concurrent with or slightly precede the accumulation of lignin in elicited 6-day cultures. By 12 hours after addition of elicitor, C1 becomes the most abundant extracellular isoperoxidase. The differential regulation of expression of peroxidase isoenzymes following elicitor treatment suggests that individual isoenzymes of peroxidase may have specific functional roles in the biosynthesis of disease-lignin.     

Decolorization of Azo, Triphenyl Methane, Heterocyclic, and Polymeric Dyes by Lignin Peroxidase Isoenzymes from Phanerochaete chrysosporium

The ligninolytic enzyme system of Phanerochaete chrysosporium decolorizes several recalcitrant dyes. Three isolated lignin peroxidase isoenzymes (LiP 4.65, LiP 4.15, and LiP 3.85) were compared as decolorizers with the crude enzyme system from the culture medium. LiP 4.65 (H2), LiP 4.15 (H7), and LiP 3.85 (H8) were purified by chromatofocusing, and their kinetic parameters were found to be similar. Ten different types of dyes, including azo, triphenyl methane, heterocyclic, and polymeric dyes, were treated by the crude enzyme preparation. Most of the dyes lost over 75% of their color; only Congo red, Poly R-478, and Poly T-128 were decolorized less than the others, 54, 46, and 48%, respectively. Five different dyes were tested for decolorization by the three purified isoenzymes. The ability of the isoenzymes to decolorize the dyes in the presence of veratryl alcohol was generally comparable to that of the crude enzyme preparation, suggesting that lignin peroxidase plays a major role in the decolorization and that manganese peroxidase is not required to start the degradation of these dyes. In the absence of veratryl alcohol, the decolorization activity of the isoenzymes was in most cases dramatically reduced. However, LiP 3.85 was still able to decolorize 20% of methylene blue and methyl orange and as much as 60% of toluidine blue O, suggesting that at least some dyes can function as substrates for isoenzyme LiP 3.85 but not to the same extent for LiP 4.15 or LiP 4.65. Thus, the isoenzymes have different specificities towards dyes as substrates.     

Effect of nutrient nitrogen and manganese on manganese peroxidase and laccase production by Lentinula (Lentinus) edodes

Abstract Lentinula (Lentinus) edodes , strain LS4, produces manganese-dependent peroxidase (MnP) and laccase, but not lignin peroxidase, when grown on a defined medium with glucose as sole carbon source. MnP production is suppressed by nitrogen whereas highest levels of laccase were observed when the fungus was grown under high nitrogen (26 mM) conditions. Both the titre and time of appearance of MnP were affected by the concentration of Mn in the culture medium with highest enzyme levels recorded in cultures supplemented with 1.1 ppm Mn. Purified MnP from L. edodes LS4 has an apparent M _r of 59000 and a p I of 5.6, and differs in several respects from a MnP isolated from L. edodes grown on a commercial wood substrate.     

Mutational and kinetic analysis of basic amino acid transport in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Two nitrogen-deregulated mutants of Phanerochaete chrysosporium, der8-2 and der8-5, were isolated by subjecting wild type conidia to gamma irradiation, plating on Poly-R medium containing high levels of nitrogen, and identifying colonies that are able to decolorize Poly-R. The mutants showed high levels of ligninolytic activity (¹⁴C-synthetic lignin ¹⁴CO₂), and lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase and glucose oxidase activities in both low nitrogen (2.4 mM) and high nitrogen (24 mM) media. The wild type on the otherhand displayed these activities in low nitrogen medium but showed little or no activities in high nitrogen medium. Fast protein liquid chromatographic analyses showed that the wild type as well as the der mutants produce three major lignin peroxidase peaks (designated L1, L2 and L3) with lignin peroxidase activity in low nitrogen medium. Furthermore, in low nitrogen medium, mutant der8-5 produced up to fourfold greater lignin peroxidase activity than that produced by the wild type. In high nitrogen medium, the wild type produced no detectable lignin peroxidase peaks whereas the mutants produced peaks L1 and L2, but not L3, and a new lignin peroxidase protein peak designated LN. Mutants der8-2 and der8-5 also produced high levels of glucose oxidase, an enzyme known to be associated with secondary metabolism and an important source of H₂O₂ in ligninolytic cultures, both in low and high nitrogen media. In contrast, the wild type produced high levels of glucose oxidase in low nitrogen medium and only trace amounts of this enzyme in high nitrogen medium. The results of this study indicate that the der mutants are nitrogen-deregulated for the production of a set of secondary metabolic activities associated with lignin degradation such as lignin peroxidases, manganese peroxidases and glucose oxidase.     

Interrelationship between lignin deposition and the activities of peroxidase isoenzymes in differentiating tracheary elements of Zinnia

In a culture system in which single cells isolated from the mesophyll of Zinnia elegans L. differentiate to tracheary elements (TEs), two inhibitors of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.5), L-α-aminooxy-β-phenylpropionic acid (AOPP) at 10 μM inhibited lignification without reducing the number of TEs formed. These inhibitors caused intracellular changes in peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) activities. The inhibitors increased the activity of peroxidases bound to the cell walls and especially the activity of peroxidase bound ionically to the cell walls. In contrast, the activity of extracellular peroxidase decreased. There were five isoenzymes, P1-P5, in the ionically bound peroxidase of cultured Zinnia cells. Among the isoenzymes, P4 and P5 appeared to be specific for TE differentation. Treatment with AOPP and AIP resulted in increases in the activities of P2, P4 and P5 isoenzymes, with the most prominent increase in P5 activity. The addition of lignin precursors, including coniferyl alcohol, to the AOPP-treated cells restored lignification, and suppressed the alteration of peroxidase isoenzyme patterns caused by AOPP. The relationship between the wall-bound peroxidases and lignification during TE differentiation is discussed in the light of these results.     

Comparison of two assay procedures for lignin peroxidase

The most widely accepted assay for detecting lignin peroxidase, based on the oxidation of veratryl alcohol to veratraldehyde, suffers from some drawbacks. At 310 nm, the wavelength at which the assay is performed, some other materials like lignins, quinonic compounds and aromatics also exhibit strong absorbance thus interfering with the estimation when present in the media. The present study reports the lignin peroxidase production by some white rot fungi under different nutritional conditions. The veratryl alcohol oxidation assay procedure for lignin peroxidase has been compared with another method based on the oxidation of the dye azure B involving absorbance measurements in the visible range. The latter method proved to be much more advantageous over the veratryl alcohol oxidation method, in media supplemented with malt extract, lignin preparations and agricultural residues. The enzyme production by veratryl alcohol assay could be detected only in mineral salts broth. By the azure B assay the enzyme activity was detected in all the media tested. The supplements gave varied response in different media. Veratryl alcohol enhanced the enzyme production in malt extract broth and mineral salts malt extract broth. Among the lignin preparations Indulin AT increased the lignin peroxidase titres from 2 to 20 fold in different fungi. Similarly, wheat straw supplemented in mineral salts broth and malt extract broth, separately, strongly stimulated the lignin peroxidase production. The above studies revealed that azure B assay may act as a substitute or equivalent method.     

Lignin and veratryl alcohol are not inducers of the ligninolytic system of Phanerochaete chrysosporium.

Phanerochaete chrysosporium is a white rot fungus which secretes a family of lignin-degrading enzymes under nutrient limitation. In this work, we investigated the roles of veratryl alcohol and lignin in the ligninolytic system of P. chrysosporium BKM-F-1767 cultures grown under nitrogen-limited conditions. Cultures supplemented with 0.4 to 2 mM veratryl alcohol showed increased lignin peroxidase activity. Addition of veratryl alcohol had no effect on Mn-dependent peroxidase activity and inhibited glyoxal oxidase activity. Azure-casein analysis of acidic proteases in the extracellular fluid showed that protease activity decreased during the early stages of secondary metabolism while lignin peroxidase activity was at its peak, suggesting that proteolysis was not involved in the regulation of lignin peroxidase activity during early secondary metabolism. In cultures supplemented with lignin or veratryl alcohol, no induction of mRNA coding for lignin peroxidase H2 or H8 was observed. Veratryl alcohol protected lignin peroxidase isozymes H2 and H8 from inactivation by H2O2. We conclude that veratryl alcohol acts as a stabilizer of lignin peroxidase activity and not as an inducer of lignin peroxidase synthesis.
