微生物降解利用木质纤维素的协同作用

木质纤维素复杂的结构组成,是制约高效降解利用这一资源、发展生物炼制的瓶颈。微生物的多酶(菌)体系可有效降解木质纤维素。除好氧微生物的游离酶协同系统之外,主要存在于厌氧细菌中的纤维小体也是有序、高效的协同降解纤维素的复合体系。近年来,在天然纤维小体研究的基础上,研究者们成功设计、构建了人工纤维小体,加深了对这一复合体系的组成单元的理性认识。另外,菌群共培养技术利用各组成菌株代谢途径的协同作用实现了木质纤维素的高效降解。最后,引入异源纤维素酶,可改造现有工程菌株的代谢网络,提高工程菌发酵生产终产物的能力。这些技术有利于实现一步转化生产乙醇的联合生物工艺,有助于提高生物炼制的产率、降低生产成本。

培菌白蚁菌圃微生物降解木质纤维素的研究进展

白蚁及其共生微生物协同降解植物细胞壁的机理一直被世界各国科学家所关注。培菌白蚁作为高等白蚁,相比低等食木白蚁具有更多样化的食性,其利用外共生系统“菌圃”,对多种植物材料进行处理。本文综述了菌圃微生物降解木质纤维素的研究进展,以期为深入研究菌圃中木质纤维素降解过程及其机制,并挖掘利用菌圃降解木质纤维素的能力及仿生模拟菌圃开发新的生物质利用系统提供参考。培 菌白蚁在其巢内利用由植物材料修建的多孔海绵状结构——“菌圃”来培养共生真菌鸡枞菌Termitomyces spp.,形成了独特的木质纤维素食物降解和消化策略,使木质纤维素在培菌白蚁及其共生微生物协同作用下被逐步降解。幼年工蚁取食菌圃上的共生真菌菌丝组成的小白球和老年工蚁觅得食物并排出粪便堆积到菌圃上成为上层菌圃。这一过程中,被幼年工蚁取食的共生真菌释放木质素降解酶对包裹在植物多糖外部的木质素屏障进行解聚。菌圃微生物(包括共生真菌)对解聚的木质素基团进一步降解,将多糖长链或主链剪切成短链,使菌圃基质自下而上被逐步降解。最后下层的老熟菌圃被老年工蚁取食,其中肠的内源酶系及后肠微生物将这些短链进一步剪切和利用。因此,蚁巢菌圃及其微生物是培菌白蚁高效转化利用木质纤维素的基础。化学层面的研究表明,菌圃能够实现对植物次生物质解毒和植 物纤维化学结构解构。对共生真菌相关酶系的研究显示可能其在菌圃的植物纤维化学结构和植物次生物质的降解中发挥了作用,但不同属共生真菌间其效率和具体功能不尽相同。而菌圃中的细菌是否发挥了作用和哪些细菌类群发挥了作用等仍有待进一步的研究。相比于低等食木白蚁利用其后肠共生微生物降解木质纤维素,培菌白蚁利用菌圃降解木质纤维素具有非厌氧和能处理多种类型食物两大优势,仿生模拟菌圃降解木质纤维素的机制对林地表面枯枝落叶的资源化利用具有重要意义。

【目的】明确极端嗜热厌氧木质纤维素降解菌解糖热解纤维素菌F32代谢特征,并分析其产酶特性。【方法】使用细胞计数法绘制菌株的生长曲线,使用离子色谱及气相色谱进行产物和残糖量分析,以DNS法及对硝基苯酚法检测菌株胞外蛋白的酶活性。【结果】解糖热解纤维素菌F32在以葡萄糖、微晶纤维素和未经预处理小麦秸秆为碳源时生长状况优于解糖热解纤维素菌DSM 8903。在以葡萄糖为碳源进行培养时,与菌株DSM 8903相比,菌株F32具有产乳酸较多,而产氢气较少的特点。在以微晶纤维素和未经预处理小麦秸秆为碳源进行培养时,与菌株DSM 8903相比,菌株F32胞外蛋白具有较高的内切纤维素酶活性和木聚糖酶活性。【结论】解糖热解纤维素菌F32表现出较强的木质纤维素降解能力,其与DSM 8903的产物组成及胞外蛋白的酶活性具有明显差异。     

厌氧真菌和甲烷菌共培养的研究进展

厌氧真菌是自然界中降解植物纤维素类物质最高效的微生物之一。近年来,大量厌氧真菌和甲烷菌共培养菌株被分离。共培养中,甲烷菌通过对厌氧真菌代谢产物的利用显著提高厌氧真菌对木质纤维素的降解;厌氧真菌通过为甲烷菌提供能量和营养物质使甲烷菌快速生成大量甲烷。全面深入地了解共培养中两者的互作关系以及共培养降解木质纤维素产甲烷的特性,将有助于研究对木质纤维素降解以及甲烷生成的调控。因此,本文主要综述了共培养的分离鉴定、多样性、互作关系以及对木质纤维素的降解。

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.     

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Ultrastruktur von Pollenkitt und Exine bei nahe verwandten entomophilen und anemophilen Angiospermensippen derAlismataceae,Liliaceae, Juncaceae,Cyperaceae, Poaceae undAraceae

Some closely related members of the monocotyledonous familiesAlismataceae, Liliaceae, Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae andAraceae with variable modes of pollination (insect- and wind-pollination) were studied in relation to the ultrastructure of pollenkitt and exine (amount, consistency and distribution of pollenkitt on the surface of pollen grains). The character syndromes of pollen cementing in entomophilous, anemophilous and intermediate (ambophilous or amphiphilous) monocotyledons are the same in principal as in dicotyledons. Comparing present with former results one can summarize: 1) The pollenkitt is always produced in the same manner by the anther tapetum in all angiosperm sub-classes. 2) The variable stickiness of entomophilous and anemophilous pollen always depends on the particular distribution and consistency of the pollenkitt, but not its amount on the pollen surface. 3) The mostly dry and powdery pollen of anemophilous plants always contains a variable amount of inactive pollenkitt in its exine cavities. 4) A step-by step change of the pollen cementing syndrome can be observed from entomophily towards anemophily. 5) From the omnipresence of pollenkitt in all wind-pollinated angiosperms studied one can conclude that the ancestors of anemophilous angiosperms probably have been zoophilous (i.e. entomophilous) throughout.
