谷氨酰胺提取分离研究

谷氨酰胺是一种十分有用的氨基酸,它既可作为治疗药物,又可作为其它合成药物的前体。目前国内以谷氨酸为原料,采用化学合成法生产谷氨酰胺,供作试剂用,产量十分有限。日本用发酵法生产谷氨酰胺,年产1000吨,还有增加趋势。谷氨酰胺的销售价格比较高,经济效益可观。近年来国内有好几个研究小组都在进行谷氨酰胺发酵研究。我们是国内第一个谷氨酰胺研究组,已在5m~3发酵罐上取得中试成功。谷氨酰胺发酵液中混有谷氨酸,而这些少量的谷氨酸采用等电点沉淀法并不能将它们去除,影响谷氨酰胺的纯度。我们采用离子交换树脂法,成功地将谷氨酸从谷氨酰胺和谷氨酸的混合物中分离掉,得到单一的谷氨酰胺。在将发酵液上柱交换之前,必须对发酵液进行预处理,我们试验了4种不同方法,结果表明第4种方法更适合工厂使用。从我们使用过的几种树脂的分离效果及树脂的价格看,考虑到工

Ameliorative effects of L-glutamine on haematological parameters in heat-stressed Red Sokoto goats

The aim of the study was to evaluate haematological responses in Red Sokoto goats (RSGs) administered with L-glutamine during the hot-dry season. Experimental animals included 28 clinically healthy RSGs divided into treated group (n = 14); each administered L-glutamine at 0.2 g/kg body weight, dissolved in 10 mL distilled water, and control group (n = 14); each administered 10 mL distilled water, per os once daily for 21 days. The ambient temperature and relative humidity recorded daily for 4 weeks were used to calculate the temperature-humidity index. Three millilitres of blood sample was collected from each goat by jugular venipuncture for haematology, while rectal temperature (RT), heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) were also measured once weekly at weeks 0 (before), 1, 2, 3 (during) and 4 (after L-glutamine administration). The haematological, RT, HR and RR data obtained weekly were analysed using repeated-measures one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey's post-hoc test to evaluate differences between periods, and between treated and control groups. The PCV, haemoglobin concentration and RBC count were higher (P < 0.05) in the treated group compared to the control group during the period of L-glutamine administration. These differences were sustained till week 4. Beginning from week 1 of the study, the total leucocyte count in treated group (10.10 ± 0.25 × 10³/μL) was higher (P < 0.05) than the count in control group (7.23 ± 0.41 × 10³/μL), this trend was also maintained throughout the study. The neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio during weeks 3 and 4 of the experiment was lower (P < 0.05) in the treated compared to the control group. RT was lower (P < 0.05) in treated group than the control group. In conclusion, L-glutamine administration ameliorated the adverse effects of heat stress on the haematological parameters in RSGs during the hot-dry season.     

Effect of anionic micelles on speciation of L-glutamine in presence/absence of metals

Abstract

Protonation equilibria of L-glutamine and speciation of its complexes with Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) have been studied in 0–2.5% w/v SLS–water media using pH-metric method. The protonation constants and binary stability constants have been calculated with the computer program MINIQUAD75. Selection of the best fit chemical models is based on standard deviation in stability constants and residual analysis using crystallographic R-factor and sum of squares of residuals in all mass-balance equations. The trend in the variation of stability constants of the complexes with mole fraction of the medium is attributed to the compartmentalisation of complexation equilibria. Distribution of species and effect of influential parameters on chemical speciation have also been presented.     

Simultaneous enzymatic/electrochemical determination of glucose and L-glutamine in hybridoma media by flow-injection analysis

A split-stream flow-injection analysis system is described for simultaneous determination of glucose and L-glutamine in serum-free hybridoma bioprocesses media. Amperometric measurement of glucose is based on anodic oxidation of hydrogen peroxide produced by immobilized glucose oxidase within a triple layer membrane of an integrated flow-through glucose-selective biosensor. Determination of L-glutamine is based on quantitating ammonium ions produced in a flow-through enzymes reactor containing immobilized glutaminase enzyme, and subsequent downstream potentiometric detection of these ions by a nonacting-based ion-selective polymer membrane electrode. Endogenous potassium and ammonium ion interference in the L-glutamine determination are eliminated by using a novel in-line tubular cation-exchange membrane unit to exchange these interferent species for cations undetectable by the membrane electrode. The first generation split-steam flow-injections system can assay 12 samples/h using direct injections of 50 muL of media samples, with linear responses to glucose in the range of 0.03 to 30mM, and log-linear response to L-glutamine from 0.1 to 10 mM.

L-glutamine and palmitate catabolism in pancreatic islets from rats depleted in long-chain polyunsaturated omega 3 fatty acids

The catabolism of D-glucose was recently found to be impaired in pancreatic islets from rats depleted in long-chain polyunsaturated omega3 fatty acids. The specificity of this alteration was now investigated by characterizing the oxidative fate of endogenous nutrients in islets preincubated with either L-[U-14C]glutamine or [U-14C]palmitate and then incubated variously in the absence of D-glucose, presence of the hexose or presence of metabolic poisons. Relative to their radioactive content after preincubation, the production of 14CO2 by islets prelabelled with [U-14C]glutamine was higher in omega3-depleted rats than control animals. The enhancing action of D-glucose upon such production was impaired, however, in the omega3-depleted rats. The net uptake of 14C-palmitate and absolute value for 14CO2 output were both increased in omega3-depleted rats, whilst the ratio between 14CO2 output and islet radioactive content was decreased in the same animals. The inhibition of 14CO2 production by metabolic poisons was comparable in all cases. These results are consistent with recent findings on such items as the availability of endogenous amino acids and uptake of unesterified fatty acids in extrapancreatic sites of the omega3-depleted rats. They also support the view that the alteration of D-glucose metabolism in the islets of the latter animals may be attributable, in part at least, to alteration of glucokinase kinetics by high intracellular acyl-CoA levels.

代谢工程在维生素生产中的应用及研究进展

维生素是维持人体生命活动必需的一类有机物质,机体本身一般不能合成或合成量不足,因此需经食物或其他强化产品获取。目前,维生素产品已广泛应用于医药、食品添加剂、饲料添加剂、化妆品等领域,而且全球对维生素的需求也是呈逐年增长态势。维生素的生产方法主要包括化学合成法和生物合成法。化学合成法通常安全隐患大、反应条件严苛、废物污染严重,相比之下,代谢工程生产维生素绿色环保安全、能耗低,因此建立微生物细胞工厂具有重大的科学意义和应用需求。文中回顾了近30年来代谢工程在维生素生产领域的研究进展,详细阐述了水溶性维生素(维生素B1、B2、B3、B5、B6、B7、B9、B12和维生素C的前体)和脂溶性维生素(维生素A、维生素D的前体、维生素E和维生素K)的生物合成研究现状,并对其发酵生产的瓶颈进行了探讨,最后对合成生物技术创建维生素生产菌种进行了展望。     

Advances in biotechnological production of butyric acid

The review is focused on several aspects of butyric acid production: butyric acid-producing bacterial strains, the characteristics of the genus Clostridium (the bacterium most used for butyrate production), and alternative methods of obtaining butyric acid by alcohol biotransformation. Further, the main metabolic pathways of butyrate production, and possibilities for their control are outlined. Batch, fed-batch or continuous fermentation combined with cell recycle or immobilization are applicable for anaerobic fermentations using Clostridium as the production strain. The best process comprises a combination of high cell concentration and slowly growing biomass, in addition to high production selectivity and low inhibitory effects of the end-product. Inhibitory effects may be avoided by on-line removal of the end-product. Extraction alone or extraction combined with simultaneous stripping of the organic phase (liquid membrane) into the second aqueous phase (pertraction) seem to be the most suitable methods for on-line butyrate removal. The biocompatibility and the distribution coefficient of the organic phase under fermentation conditions should be considered before designing a fermentation apparatus.
