嗜乙酰乙酸棒杆菌Corynebacterium acetoacidophilum-Δldh缺氧条件下代谢葡萄糖途径的变化

缺氧条件下嗜乙酰乙酸棒杆菌Corynebacterium acetoacidophilum ATCC13870生长停滞,却能够代谢葡萄糖产生以乳酸和琥珀酸为主的有机酸。采用以sacB基因为反向筛选标记的同源重组染色体基因敲除系统,敲除嗜乙酰乙酸棒杆菌的乳酸脱氢酶基因,得到的Δldh菌株CCTCC NO.M20122041在缺氧条件下不产乳酸,葡萄糖消耗速率降低了29.3%,产琥珀酸和乙酸浓度分别提高45.6%和182%;NADH/NAD+值小于1(约0.7);磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧化酶和乙酸激酶的比酶活分别提高84%和12倍。说明嗜乙酰乙酸棒杆菌中乳酸合成途径的阻断驱使了琥珀酸和乙酸代谢途径加强,推测加强NADH供给和阻断乙酸产生支路可能是提高C.acetoacidophilum菌株产琥珀酸产量的有效途径。

产朊假丝酵母利用不同有机酸作碳源的研究

分别通过不同有机酸为惟一碳源,研究了产朊假丝酵母（Candida utilis）能够利用的有机酸的种类,旨在为微生物的基础研究和应用基础研究提供部分依据。分别通过对培养时间和菌体在不同有机酸合成培养基中OD值进行统计分析,发现培养时间和柠檬酸、乳酸、琥珀酸、L-苹果酸培养基的OD值极显著相关（P〈0.01）;培养时间和乙酸、酒石酸、富马酸和草酸培养基的OD值无相关性。通过对比菌体培养前后有机酸合成培养基pH值的变化发现乙酸、酒石酸、富马酸和草酸合成培养基的pH值没有明显变化,而苹果酸、乳酸、琥珀酸和柠檬酸为碳源的合成培养基的pH值均明显增大。从而说明产朊假丝酵母能利用L-苹果酸、乳酸、琥珀酸、柠檬酸为碳源,而不能利用乙酸、酒石酸、草酸、富马酸为碳源。     

植物呼吸及代谢的研究 Ⅵ.乙酸在水稻幼苗中的利用

以[2-C~(14)]-乙酸饲喂水稻黄化幼苗,研究了乙酸在体内的呼吸途径。从饲喂试验获得了以下结果:1.以80%酒精提取萌发5天的水稻幼苗,将提取液通过阴离子交换树脂 AmberliteIRA-400,收集洗脱液进行纸上层析。从层析谱上得到异柠檬酸、柠檬酸、α-酮戊二酸、琥珀酸、延胡索酸及苹果酸。结果表明在水稻幼苗中存在着三羧酸循环的中间成分。2.以[2-C~(14)]乙酸饲喂水稻幼苗,经过不同时间2至40或60分钟保温,立即以80%热酒精提取。提取液通过阳离子交换树脂 Zerolite 225及阴离子交换树脂 AmberliteIRA-400,以分离出有机酸、氨基酸及糖三类化合物。这三类化合物放射性强度的测量结果表明,放射性最初只在有机酸中出现,随后为氨基酸,而糖类几乎始终不出现放射性。3.从饲喂乙酸的水稻幼苗提取液中分离出的有机酸,用阴离子交换树脂 Zerolite FF进行柱层析,分部收集各种有机酸,浓缩并测量其放射性强度。结果表明柠檬酸、异柠檬酸、琥珀酸、延胡索酸及苹果酸均被 C~(14)标记上。当饲喂乙酸时,同时加入丙二酸,则乙酸渗入到有机酸的总量降至50%以下,而标记琥珀酸的放射性强度却相对增加,纸层析谱的放射自显影也证明有琥珀酸的积累。4.从不同时间饲喂乙酸所分离出的有机酸,其放射性强度测量结果表明,2分钟标记琥珀酸出现最多,至10分钟后,苹果酸和柠檬酸同时随之增加,纸层析谱的放射自显影也证实了这点。5.当饲喂乙酸时,同时加入亚砷酸钠或α,α′-联呲啶,则乙酸的利用受到不同程度的抑制,分别为68%及44%,而 C~(14)渗入琥珀酸的量只分别受到46%及29%的抑制,即施用抑制剂后仍有相当数量标记琥珀酸的积累。6.氨基酸的纸层析及放射性强度结果表明,天门冬氨酸及谷氨酸的放射性分别占氨基酸总放射性的17%和20%。饲喂乙酸时加入丙二酸,C~(14)渗入氨基酸下降50%以上,由此亦可见乙酸最早渗入到与三羧酸循环有直接联系的氨基酸中。7.从上述实验结果可以得出结论,在水稻整体幼苗中存在着三羧酸循环。同时根据短时间饲喂乙酸首先出现大量标记琥珀酸以及亚砷酸钠和α,α′联呲啶抑制后仍有较大量琥珀酸积累的事实,可以认为乙酸的利用除了主要通过三羧酸循环以外,还可能通过乙醛酸循环及二羧酸循环等途径。

Quantitative gas chromatography of Bacteroides species under different growth conditions

From 56 strains of strictly anaerobic gram-negative rods isolated from stool and purulent lesions the fermentation products in the presence and absence of hemin were determined by quantitative gas-solid chromatography, using a simple and more rapid chromatographic procedure. With hemin the fermentation products were propionic, acetic, lactic and succinic acid. Without hemin no or little succinic acid was formed and the main products were lactic and acetic acid. In both groups the distribution of subspecies was determined and the production of fatty acids measured quantitatively.Fourteen strains of the lesion group showed a higher metabolic activity, resulting in an increased total acid production caused by an excessive production of acetic and lactic acid. This characteristic is probably a virulence factor in these strains.All strains were protoporphyrin- and oxgall-dependent. It is postulated that these substances are used for the production of cytochromes which permits the formation of succinic acid by a fumarate reductase resulting in an increased growth rate and growth yield.     

Is it possible to produce succinic acid at a low pH?

Bio-based succinate is still a matter of special emphasis in biotechnology and adjacent research areas. The vast majority of natural and engineered producers are bacterial strains that accumulate succinate under anaerobic conditions. Recently, we succeeded in obtaining an aerobic yeast strain capable of producing succinic acid at low pH. Herein, we discuss some difficulties and advantages of microbial pathways producing "succinic acid" rather than "succinate." It was concluded that the peculiar properties of the constructed yeast strain could be clarified in view of a distorted energy balance. There is evidence that in an acidic environment, the majority of the cellular energy available as ATP will be spent for proton and anion efflux. The decreased ATP:ADP ratio could essentially reduce the growth rate or even completely inhibit growth. In the same way, the preference of this elaborated strain for certain carbon sources could be explained in terms of energy balance. Nevertheless, the opportunity to exclude alkali and mineral acid waste from microbial succinate production seems environmentally friendly and cost-effective.     

Recovery of succinic acid produced by fermentation of a metabolically engineered Mannheimia succiniciproducens strain

There have recently been much advances in the production of succinic acid, an important four-carbon dicarboxylic acid for many industrial applications, by fermentation of several natural and engineered bacterial strains. Mannheimia succiniciproducens MBEL55E isolated from bovine rumen is able to produce succinic acid with high efficiency, but also produces acetic, formic and lactic acids just like other anaerobic succinic acid producers. We recently reported the development of an engineered M. succiniciproducens LPK7 strain which produces succinic acid as a major fermentation product while producing much reduced by-products. Having an improved succinic acid producer developed, it is equally important to develop a cost-effective downstream process for the recovery of succinic acid. In this paper, we report the development of a simpler and more efficient method for the recovery of succinic acid. For the recovery of succinic acid from the fermentation broth of LPK7 strain, a simple process composed of a single reactive extraction, vacuum distillation, and crystallization yielded highly purified succinic acid (greater than 99.5% purity, wt%) with a high yield of 67.05wt%. When the same recovery process or even multiple reactive extraction steps were applied to the fermentation broth of MBEL55E, lower purity and yield of succinic acid were obtained. These results suggest that succinic acid can be purified in a cost-effective manner by using the fermentation broth of engineered LPK7 strain, showing the importance of integrating the strain development, fermentation and downstream process for optimizing the whole processes for succinic acid production.     

基于代谢通量分析的琥珀酸放线杆菌高产选育研究

在对产琥珀酸放线杆菌代谢分析的基础上选育出高产突变株对琥珀酸的工业生物转化有重要意义.在矩阵分析代谢通量基础上,围绕柔性节点下的副产物乙酸及乙醇的降低分别实施软X诱变及定点突变选育,并对比分析了突变株与出发株相关酶活及基因序列变化.针对出发株的流量分析显示产物琥珀酸的代谢通量为1.78(mmol/g/h),主要副产物乙酸与乙醇的代谢通量分别为(0.60mmol/g/h)和(1.04 mmol/g/h),并发现乙醇代谢加剧了琥珀酸合成中的H电子供体的不足;筛选出的氟乙酸抗性突变株S.JST1的乙酸代谢通量降低了96%,为0.024(mmol/g/h),酶活检测表明磷酸乙酰转移酶(Pta)的酶比活力从602降低到74,进一步的序列对比分析发现pta突变基因中产生了一个突变位点:adh定点复合突变株S.JST2的乙醇代谢通量降低了98%,为0.020(mmol/g/h),酶活检测表明Adh的酶比活力从585降低到62.最终突变株S.JST2琥珀酸累积产量达65.7 g/L.围绕产琥珀酸放线杆菌Pta及Adh酶活的降低实施定向选育,在降低副产物流量的同时,有助于改善细胞H供体代谢平衡进而提高琥珀酸的流量.所获突变株具有工业应用潜力.     

大肠杆菌AFP111菌体回收连续转化生产丁二酸

在利用大肠杆菌AFP111厌氧发酵生产丁二酸过程中,随着产物丁二酸的不断积累,菌体活力和产酸能力逐渐降低,而通过回收菌体在新鲜培养基中重复发酵,可延长厌氧发酵时间,但是丁二酸生产效率较低。为了提高菌体回收丁二酸的转化效率,通过在回收菌体时有氧诱导 3 h,以纯水为培养基,进行丁二酸转化发酵。在连续进行 3 批次的发酵后,丁二酸的总产量和最终收率分别为 56.50 g/L和90%,生产速率达到了 0.81 g/(L·h),比未诱导情况下的生产速率提高了13%。     

Strain variation in Hymenolepis diminuta: enzyme profiles

In comparative study of respiratory metabolism, it was established that the relative proportions of respiratory end-products (succinic, acetic and lactic acids) differed consistently in two strains of Hymenolepis diminuta (Toronto and ANU). The ANU strain produced more lactic acid and less succinic acid under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. In the shift from aerobic to anaerobic conditions both strains compensated by increasing their outputs of succinic acid. The ANU strain possessed significantly higher activities of hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, cytosolic and mitochondrial malic enzyme and cytosolic α-glycerophosphate dehy drogenase. The Toronto strain had significantly higher activities of fumarase, succinate dehydrogenase, and fumarate reductase. There were no significant differences in the activities of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and malic dehydrogenase between strains. The fumarase activity in the Toronto strain was 16 times that of the ANU strain, its K_m (malate) was 0.8mM, as opposed to 2.5 mM, and it was less sensitive to inhibition by NAD or ATP. These observations are consistent with the patterns of end-product formation in the two strains. Ratios of end-products and calculations of approximate redox balance suggest that the Toronto strain may have a greater capacity for aerobic metabolism.     

耐铵型产琥珀酸放线杆菌的选育

The acid end-products of glucose metabolism of oral and other haemophili

The acids produced in broth culture by various species of oral haemophili and by stock strains of capsulated and other haemophili were identified and measured by gas-liquid chromatography. Succinic acid was the major acid end-product of all strains, with acetic acid also being regularly produced but in smaller amounts. A stock strain, Haemophilus parainfluenzae NCTC 4101, produced less succinic acid than other strains of haemophili. Strain NCTC 4101 possessed all the enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, as previously reported, but in the other haemophili examined only succinic dehydrogenase, fumarase and malate dehydrogenase could be detected. No other enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle were detected and isocitrate lyase, malate synthase and pyruvate carboxylase were also absent. Phosphoenolpyruvate-carboxylase was present in all strains. A partial tricarboxylic acid cycle and marked malate dehydrogenase activity appear to be characteristic of haemophili. The pathway to succinate in haemophili appears to be via carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate to oxalacetate and thence via malate and fumarate. The results of tracer studies on a single oral strain of H. parainfluenzae using various labelled substrates were in keeping with this proposed metabolic pathway.     

Aerobiosis–anaerobiosis transition has a significant impact on organic acid production by Corynebacterium glutamicum

Corynebacterium glutamicum is known to produce organic acids under anaerobic culture conditions, in particular, lactic, succinic, and acetic acids. Our study is focused on acetic and succinic acid production using a lactate dehydrogenase-deficient strain of C. glutamicum. Usually, with this bacterium, the organic acid production process is based on an initial aerobic growth phase, followed by a rapid deoxygenation and an anaerobic production phase. In our study, we demonstrated that this strategy was unfavorable for the production of organic acids. Conversely, we showed that applying the best transition strategy based on progressive deoxygenation significantly increased the concentration of organic acids up to 640%. This was observed either by applying controlled dissolved oxygen concentrations or by decreasing the steps of gas flow rates. Our results also showed that applying constant oxygen transfer flux throughout the culture, and thus in the absence of the anaerobic phase, promoted constant production yields (approximately 0.5 mol of succinate or acetate per mole of glucose). In this case, acetate production (120 mM) was favored over succinate production (132 mM), resulting in a decrease in the molar ratio of products (succinate/acetate) from 4.8 to 1.1 between progressive deoxygenation and constant OTR cultures.     

Fermentation of cellulose by Ruminococcus flavefaciens in the presence and absence of Methanobacterium ruminantium.

The anaerobic cellulolytic rumen bacterium Ruminococcus flavefaciens normally produces succinic acid as a major fermentation product together with acetic and formic acids, H2, and CO2. When grown on cellulose and in the presence of the methanogenic rumen bacterium Methanobacterium ruminantium, acetate was the major fermentation product; succinate was formed in small amounts; little formate was detected; H2 did not accumulate; and large amounts of CH4 were formed. M. ruminantium depends for growth on the reduction of CO2 to CH4 by H2, which it can obtain directly or by producing H2 and CO2 from formate. In mixed culture, the methanobacterium utilized the H2 and possibly the formate produced by the ruminococcus and in so doing stimulated the flow of electrons generated during glycolysis by the ruminococcus toward H2 formation and away from formation of succinate. This type of interaction may be of significance in determining the flow of cellulose carbon to the normal rumen fermentation products.
