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.     

Quantitative differences in the expression of a 72,000 molecular weight cell surface glycoprotein (GP72) in Trypanosoma cruzi zymodemes

A high affinity monoclonal antibody, 8G2 B9, was used to assess the expression of a 72,000 m.w. glycoprotein ( GP72 ) in isoenzyme-typed T. cruzi strains ( zymodemes ). Western blotting analysis of T. cruzi clones showed that 8G2 B9 bound strongly to GP72 and also suggested that this antigen was absent or weakly detectable in T. cruzi zymodeme 1 (Z1) strains. Purified 8G2 B9 was radiolabeled with 125I and used in an inhibition radioimmune binding assay to compare the quantities of GP72 in different zymodemes . Ninety-six T. cruzi strains were assayed, of which 36 were Z1, 36 were Z2, five were Z3 , and 19 were Z2 (heterozygous). Most (64%) Z1 strains lacked detectable GP72 , whereas this antigen was always detected Z2 and Z2 (heterozygous) strains. There was an 18-fold difference between geometric mean values for the quantities of GP72 (expressed as nanograms per milligram total cell protein) in Z1 and Z2 strains (Z1, 36 ng/mg; Z2, 639 ng/mg; p less than 0.001). There were also significant differences between the geometric mean values for Z2 and Z2 (heterozygous) strains, i.e., 639 ng/mg and 1648 ng/mg, respectively (p less than 0.001). GP72 was detected in four of the Z3 strains in quantities ranging from 740 to 3640 ng/mg. The absolute amounts of antigen in GP72 -positive strains were low, comprising less than 1% of the total cell protein. The specificities of two other anti- GP72 monoclonal antibodies, 7C6 D7 and WIC 29.26, were compared with 8G2 B9. Both antibodies completely inhibited the binding of 8G2 B9 to GP72 in solid phase immunoassays, suggesting that they reacted with the same antigenic determinants. The results show that monoclonal antibody-based assessments of the expression of GP72 correlate with zymodeme classification, and they also suggest that the monoclonal antibodies recognize major antigenic determinants on GP72 . It should be possible to use 8G2 B9 as an immunologic marker to additionally investigate the clinical significance of T. cruzi zymodemes and the biologic significance of GP72 .

Zygosaccharomyces lentus: a significant new osmophilic, preservative-resistant spoilage yeast, capable of growth at low temperature

Zygosaccharomyces lentus is a yeast species recently identified from its physiology and 18S ribosomal sequencing (Steels et al. 1999).The physiological characteristics of five strains of this new yeast so far isolated were investigated, particularly those of technical significance for a spoilage yeast, namely temperature range, pH range, osmotolerance, sugar fermentation, resistance to food preservatives such as sorbic acid, benzoic acid and dimethyldicarbonate (DMDC; Velcorin). Adaptation to benzoic acid, and growth in shaking and static culture were also investigated. Zygosaccharomyces lentus strains grew over a wide range of temperature (4-25 degrees C) and pH 2.2-7.0. Growth at 4 degrees C was significant. Zygosaccharomyces lentus strains grew at 25-26 degrees C in static culture but were unable to grow in aerobic culture close to their temperature maximum. All Z. lentus strains grew in 60% w/v sugar and consequently, are osmotolerant. Zygosaccharomyces lentus strains could utilize sucrose, glucose or fructose as a source of fermentable sugar, but not galactose. Zygosaccharomyces lentus strains were resistant to food preservatives, growing in sorbic acid up to 400 mg l-1 and benzoic acid to 900 mg l-1 at pH 4.0. Adaptation to higher preservative concentrations was demonstrated with benzoic acid. Resistance to DMDC was shown to be greater than that of Z. bailii and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This study confirms that Z. lentus is an important food spoilage organism potentially capable of growth in a wide range of food products, particularly low pH, high sugar foods and drinks. It is likely to be more significant than Z. bailii in the spoilage of chilled products.     

The effects of laboratory culturing on (Z)-9-tricosene (muscalure) quantities on female houseflies

Using gas chromatography the relative amounts of (Z)-9-tricosene (muscalure) and some other hydrocarbons on the cuticle of 1- to 20-day-old houseflies (Musca domestica L.) from different strains were determined. Flies from a WHO strain, in culture since 1961, and first-generation laboratory-cultured flies from two wild-type strains from a poultry breeding and a cow-house with pigsty, respectively, were compared. On WHO females hydrocarbons with 23–25 C atoms constituted about 65% of the total hydrocarbons, whereas on wild-type females less than 2% of these compounds was present. (Z)-9-tricosene comprised up to 20–30% of the total hydrocarbons on 5- to 20-day-old WHO females, whereas less than 0.5% (Z)-9-tricosene was present on the wild-type females. We also compared the amounts of (Z)-9-tricosene and some other hydrocarbons on female houseflies, kept in culture in the laboratory for several generations. It appeared that whereas on first-generation wild-type females hardly or no (Z)-9-tricosene could be detected, the amounts of this substance had increased considerably after some tens of generations in the laboratory. It is suggested that this was due to selection in subsequent generations of high-density populations. Production of (Z)-9-tricosene and of tricosane was shown to be closely linked. Selection did not affect the production of other cuticular hydrocarbons by the females. It is suggested that in mixed populations (both sexes together in a cage) in the course of time (Z)-9-tricosene is transferred from females to males and (Z)-9-heptacosene from males to females. It is concluded that reproductive ability of houseflies does not primarily depend on the amounts of (Z)-9-tricosene on females, although higher amounts of this substance may increase contacts between males and females.     

A novel strategy to construct yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains for very high gravity fermentation

Very high gravity (VHG) fermentation is aimed to considerably increase both the fermentation rate and the ethanol concentration, thereby reducing capital costs and the risk of bacterial contamination. This process results in critical issues, such as adverse stress factors (ie., osmotic pressure and ethanol inhibition) and high concentrations of metabolic byproducts which are difficult to overcome by a single breeding method. In the present paper, a novel strategy that combines metabolic engineering and genome shuffling to circumvent these limitations and improve the bioethanol production performance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains under VHG conditions was developed. First, in strain Z5, which performed better than other widely used industrial strains, the gene GPD2 encoding glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase was deleted, resulting in a mutant (Z5ΔGPD2) with a lower glycerol yield and poor ethanol productivity. Second, strain Z5ΔGPD2 was subjected to three rounds of genome shuffling to improve its VHG fermentation performance, and the best performing strain SZ3-1 was obtained. Results showed that strain SZ3-1 not only produced less glycerol, but also increased the ethanol yield by up to 8% compared with the parent strain Z5. Further analysis suggested that the improved ethanol yield in strain SZ3-1 was mainly contributed by the enhanced ethanol tolerance of the strain. The differences in ethanol tolerance between strains Z5 and SZ3-1 were closely associated with the cell membrane fatty acid compositions and intracellular trehalose concentrations. Finally, genome rearrangements in the optimized strain were confirmed by karyotype analysis. Hence, a combination of genome shuffling and metabolic engineering is an efficient approach for the rapid improvement of yeast strains for desirable industrial phenotypes.
