米曲霉和黑曲霉营养缺陷型的分离及原生质体的制备

米曲霉(Aspergillus oryzae)3042是目前国内酱油生产中广泛使用的菌种,而黑曲霉(Aspergillus niger)3350则是制醋业中广泛使用的菌种。前者具有较高的蛋白酶活性而后者具有较高的淀粉酶活性。在酱油生产中,为了提高原料利用率,改善酱油风味,希望获得一株既有较高的蛋白酶活性同时又具有较高淀粉酶活性的杂交菌株作为     

Invasion of paranasal sinuses by Aspergillus oryzae

A 24-year-old male patient receiving chemotherapy for acute promyelocytic leukemia developed fever, right periorbital swelling and mild right proptosis. A head scan showed opacification of the right maxillary and ethmoid sinuses with adjacent soft tissue swelling. Biopsy of the nasal mucosa demonstrated the typical septate hyphae of Aspergillus species which was later shown on culture to be Aspergillus oryzae. A. oryzae has only rarely been reported in human disease and there is confusion as to its precise identification and role. We would like to confirm the pathogenicity of A. oryzae with this uncommon presentation of aspergillosis and also emphasize the need to take adequate and multiple cultures in suspected cases so that the possibility of species identification will be maximized.     

米曲霉(Aspergillus oryzae)果胶酸内切水解酶(PGA)在原核系统中重组表达

果胶酶具有广阔的商业用途,在食品工业上主要用于果汁和酒类的澄清、提高植物油的提取率、提高水果的硬度和植物纤维脱胶。米曲霉(Aspergillusoryzae)一直用于传统发酵食品的生产,自然条件下其果胶酶的产量较低。文献报道的果胶酶的重组表达成功的例子较少,且活性较低。通过RT-PCR的方法,获得不含信号肽的果胶酸内切水解酶A(polygalacturonaseA,PGA)的cDNA,PGAcDNA连入pET-28a( )载体,构建pET-28a( )-pga质粒。pET-28a( )-pga转化Turner(DE3)placⅠ细胞,得到转化子pET-28a( )-pga-Turner(DE3)placⅠ,首次实现了米曲霉PGA在大肠杆菌系统中过表达,进一步对PGA在大肠杆菌系统中表达的条件进行了研究。在37℃、220r/min条件培养pET-28a( )-pga-Turner(DE3)placⅠ细胞,OD600至0·8左右时,用500μmol/Lisopropylβ-D-thiogalactogalactopyranoside(IPTG)进行诱导表达,在15℃和170r/min条件下继续培养24h,表达效果最好,相对于每毫升培养基而言,产酶可达到70u/mL,是米曲霉自然条件产酶量的87·5倍,远优于文献报道的重组表达的PGA酶活。

Taka-Amylase A in the Conidia of Aspergillus oryzae RIB40

A study of Taka-amylase A of conidia from Aspergillus oryzae RIB40 was done. During the research, proteins from conidia and germinated conidia were analyzed using SDS–PAGE, 2-D gel electrophoresis, Western blot analysis, MALDI-TOF Mass spectrometry, and native-PAGE combined with activity staining of TAA. The results showed that TAA exists not only in germinated conidia but also in conidia. Some bands representing degraded products of TAA were detected. Conidia, which formed on starch (SCYA), glucose (DCYA), and glycerol (GCYA) plates, contained mature TAA. Only one active band of TAA was detected after native-PAGE activity staining. In addition, TAA activity was detected in cell extracts of conidia using 0.5 M acetate buffer, pH 5.2, as extraction buffer, but was not detected in whole conidia or cell debris. The results indicate that TAA exists in conidia in active form even when starch, glucose, or glycerol is used as carbon source. TAA might belong to a set of basal proteins inside conidia, which helps in imbibition and germination of conidia.     

米曲霉Aspergilus oryzae发酵生产曲酸的研究

分离到Ａｓｐｅｒｇｉｌｕｓｏｒｙｚａｅ１３个菌株,其曲酸产量变化幅度１６６—４８６ｍｇ／ｍｌ,从中选出４个高产菌株。在１％酵母提取物和１５％蔗糖培养液中３０℃发酵培养,８—１０天菌体生长量和曲酸产量达到最大值,随后曲酸产量迅速下降。蔗糖浓度对菌体生长和曲酸产量影响甚大,最适蔗糖浓度为１５％。天冬氨酸、甘氨酸、赖氨酸、谷氨酸、吡哆醇、叶酸和抗坏血酸有利于菌体生长并显著提高曲酸产量。将在ＹＥＳ培养液中培养１０天的菌体重新悬浮于含１５％蔗糖的ＹＥＳ培养液或０２Ｍ磷酸缓冲液（ｐＨ６５）中８—１０天曲酸产量仍可达到４５ｍｇ／ｍｌ以上。低温条件下制备的培养８—１０天的Ａｏｒｙｚａｅ菌体匀浆反应系统仅有痕量曲酸形成。     

Aspergillus oryzae laeA Regulates Kojic Acid Synthesis Genes

Kojic acid synthesis genes regulation was investigated in Aspergillus oryzae. Our results indicate that kojic acid production was lost in the laeA disruption strain, but was recovered in the LaeA complement strain. Real-time PCR also confirmed that expression of kojic acid biosynthesis genes decreased in the laeA disruption strain, indicating that these genes are under the control of LaeA.     

米曲霉发酵纯化无患子皂苷的工艺研究

采用微生物发酵法对无患子皂苷水提取液进行纯化.比较了采用自然发酵、接种酵母菌发酵和接种米曲霉发酵纯化无患子皂苷的效果.结果表明,提取液不灭菌,接种米曲霉发酵纯化效果较为明显,优化后的发酵条件为:温度30℃、接种龄12 h、接种量为3％、摇床转速150 r/min,发酵7d后,皂苷含量稍有下降,但皂苷纯度可从48.71％提高到82.47％.米曲霉发酵法明显优于水提醇沉法、絮凝法和正丁醇萃取法.     

Cloning and nucleotide sequence of one of the most highly expressed genes, a pdcA homolog of Aspergillus nidulans, in Aspergillus oryzae

A homolog of Aspergillus nidulans pdcA that is probably one of the most highly expressed in Aspergillus oryzae ATCC 22788 was isolated, as measured by the frequency among randomly selected 324 expressed sequence tags. It has an 1,632 bp open reading frame for a polypeptide of about 60 kDa. Its amino acid sequence revealed 74% identity and 84% similarity to that of A. nidulans pyruvate decarboxylase.     

Aspergillus oryzae nrtA affects kojic acid production

We analyzed the role of the nitrate transporter-encoding gene (nrtA) of Aspergillus oryzae by gene disruption. Southern hybridization analysis indicated that homologous recombination occurred at the resident nrtA locus. Real-time PCR showed that the nrtA gene was strongly inducible by NaNO₃. The nrtA disruptant did not exhibit normal growth when nitrate was available as the sole nitrogen source. These results indicate that NrtA is essential for nitrate uptake in A. oryzae. Kojic acid (KA) production was inhibited by the addition of a small amount of sodium nitrate. The nrtA-disrupted strain was deficient in the uptake of nitrate. As a result, KA production in this strain was not considerably affected by the presence of nitrate.

Cell biology of the Koji mold Aspergillus oryzae

Koji mold, Aspergillus oryzae, has been used for the production of sake, miso, and soy sauce for more than one thousand years in Japan. Due to the importance, A. oryzae has been designated as the national micro-organism of Japan (Koku-kin). A. oryzae has been intensively studied in the past century, with most investigations focusing on breeding techniques and developing methods for Koji making for sake brewing. However, the understanding of fundamental biology of A. oryzae remains relatively limited compared with the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Therefore, we have focused on studying the cell biology including live cell imaging of organelles, protein vesicular trafficking, autophagy, and Woronin body functions using the available genomic information. In this review, I describe essential findings of cell biology of A. oryzae obtained in our study for a quarter of century. Understanding of the basic biology will be critical for not its biotechnological application, but also for an understanding of the fundamental biology of other filamentous fungi.     

Development of enzyme technology for Aspergillus oryzae,A. sojae,and A. luchuensis,the national microorganisms of Japan

This paper describes the modern enzymology in Japanese bioindustries. The invention of Takadiastase by Jokiti Takamine in 1894 has revolutionized the world of industrial enzyme production by fermentation. In 1949, a new γ-amylase (glucan 1,4-α-glucosidase, EC 3.2.1.3) from A. luchuensis (formerly designated as A. awamori), was found by Kitahara. RNase T₁ (guanyloribonuclease, EC 3.1.27.3) was discovered by Sato and Egami. Ando discovered Aspergillus nuclease S₁ (single-stranded nucleate endonuclease, EC 3.1.30.1). Aspergillopepsin I (EC 3.4.23.18) from A. tubingensis (formerly designated as A. saitoi) activates trypsinogen to trypsin. Shintani et al. demonstrated Asp76 of aspergillopepsin I as the binding site for the basic substrate, trypsinogen. The new oligosaccharide moieties Man₁₀GlcNAc₂ and Man₁₁GlcNAc₂ were identified with α-1,2-mannosidase (EC 3.2.1.113) from A. tubingensis. A yeast mutant compatible of producing Man₅GlcNAc₂ human compatible sugar chains on glycoproteins was constructed. The acid activation of protyrosinase from A. oryzae at pH 3.0 was resolved. The hyper-protein production system of glucoamylase was established in a submerged culture.

Morphology engineering of Aspergillus oryzae for l-malate production

Aspergillus oryzae is a competitive natural producer for organic acids, but its production capacity is closely correlated with a specific morphological type. Here, morphology engineering was used for tailoring A. oryzae morphology to enhance l -malate production. Specifically, correlation between A. oryzae morphology and l -malate fermentation was first conducted, and the optimal range of the total volume of pellets in a unit volume of fermentation broth (V value) for l -malate production was 120–130 mm³/ml. To achieve this range, A. oryzae morphology was improved by controlling the variation of operational parameters, such as agitation speed and aeration rate, and engineered by optimizing the expression of cell division cycle proteins such as tyrosine-protein phosphatase (CDC14), anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome activator protein (CDC20), and cell division control protein 45 (CDC45). By controlling the strength of CDC14 at a medium level, V value fell into the optimal range of V value and the final engineered strain A. oryzae CDC14(3) produced up to 142.5 g/L l -malate in a 30-L fermenter. This strategy described here lays a good foundation for industrial production of l -malate in the future, and opens a window to develop filamentous fungi as cell factories for production of other chemicals.     

提高蛋白质在米曲霉中表达量的策略

米曲霉是一种重要的微生物,在食品、酿造、商业酶和医用蛋白的生产中具有广泛的应用,该菌被美国食品与药品管理局(FDA)认定为GRAS(generally regarded as safe)级。讨论了提高同源和异源蛋白在米曲霉中表达量的几种策略,包括使用强启动子、多拷贝编码基因、优化培养基和超表达血红素结构域(HBD)等。异源蛋白容易被米曲霉蛋白酶降解,表达量往往较低,因此使用蛋白酶缺陷型宿主菌是非常必要的。另外将外源蛋白与米曲霉高分泌蛋白融合表达也是提高异源蛋白产量的有效途径。
