Inactivation of the streptokinase gene prevents Streptococcus equisimilis H46A from acquiring cell-associated plasmin activity in the presence of plasminogen

Abstract The effects of some physico-chemical parameters on production of extracellular α-L-arabinofuranosidase by Aspergillus nidulans were examined. Highest levels of α-L-arabinofuranosidase were generated with cultures grown on 1% (w/v) purified beet pulp arabinan at 30°C and at an initial pH of 7.0. The enzyme was shown to be very sensitive to the action of proteases. Zymogram overlay of a protein profile obtained by SDS-PAGE revealed the occurrence of a band ( M _r 36 000) exhibiting α-L-arabinofuranosidase activity. The isoelectric pH of the enzyme lay near 4.3. Temperature and pH optima for the activity of crude α-L-arabinofuranosidase preparations were 55°C and 5.5, respectively. Enzyme activity was greatly reduced by thiol reagents such as Hg²⁺ and p -hydroxymercuribenzoate and showed a K _m value of 2.7 mM on p -nitrophenyl α-L-arabinofuranoside as substrate.

Kinetics of cell growth and heterologous glucoamylase production in recombinant Aspergillus nidulans

In the work, a study of cell growth and the regulation of heterologous glucoamylase synthesis under the control of the positively regulated alcA promoter in a recombinant Aspergillus nidulans is presented. We found that similar growth rates were obtained for both the host and recombinant cells when either glucose or fructose was employed as sole carbon and energy source. Use of the potent inducer cyclopentanone in concentrations greater than 3 mM resulted n maximum glucoamylase concentration and maximum overall specific glucoamylase concentration over 80 h of batch cultivation. However, cyclopentanone concentrations in excess of 3 mM also showed an inhibitory effect on spore germination as well as fungal growth. In contrast, another inducer, threonine, had no negative effect on spore germination even when concentrations of up to 100 mM were used with either glucose or fructose as carbon source. Glucoamylase synthesis in the presence of glucose plus either inducer did not begin until glucose was totally depleted, suggesting strong catabolite repression. Similar results were obtained when fructose was employed, although low levels of glucoamylase were detected before fructose depletion, suggesting partial catabolite repression. The highest enzyme concentration (570 mg/L) and overall specific enzyme concentration (81 mg/g cell) were observed in batch culture when cyclopentanone was the inducer and fructose the primary carbon source. A maximum glucoamylase concentration of 1.1 g/L and an overall specific glucoamylase concentration of 167 mg/g cell were obtained in a bioreactor using cyclopentanone as the inducer and limited-fructose feeding strategy, which nearly doubles the glucoamylase productivity from batch cultures.

The role of acid phosphatase activity during enzymic dephosphorylation of phytates byAspergillus niger phytase

Acid phosphatase present in preparations ofAspergillus niger phytase accelerated dephosphorylation of sodium phytate. Its influence on the reaction rate and distribution ofmyo-inositol phosphates was most apparent at low pH value (2.5) and when acid-hydrolysed substrate was de-esterified enzymatically. With partly purified phytase, the predominant inositol form was tetraphosphate but a preparation having acid phosphatase activity caused an even distribution of lower inositol phosphates after a few hours.
