Flower-inducing and -inhibiting activities of Phloem Exudate from Cotyledons of Pharbitis Seedlings

The flower-inducing and -inhibiting activities of phloem exudate (PE) prepared from cotyledons of Pharbitis seedlings were examined, using apex cultures in vitro from Pharbitis as a bioassay system.The PE was prepared from photoperiodically-induced cotyledons (SD-PE). The SD-PE was subjected to the following fractionations: When the SD-PE was extracted with CHCl₃ and then ethyl acetate, the inducing activity was located in the final aqueous fraction. The activity was localized in the diffusate when the aqueous fraction was dialyzed (molecular weight cut off was 10,000). The diffusate was fractionated by ion exchange chromatography, and flower-inducing activity was found in the fraction adsorbed onto anion exchange resin. When the fraction was applied to a Sep-Pak C18 cartridge, the activity eluted with 25% MeOH. As a result of the above fractionation, activity was increased about 30-fold.The nature of the flower-inhibiting activity of the PE taken from cotyledons exposed to continuous-light conditions was examined (CL-PE). The inhibiting activity was decreased as the cotyledons were exposed to longer dark periods; it appeared to be heat-stable. The CL-PE also inhibited flowering in Lemna. The CL-PE was subjected to the following fractionations: When the CL-PE was extracted with CHCl₃ and ethyl acetate, activity was located in the final aqueous fraction. Activity was localized in the diffusate when the aqueous fraction was dialyzed (molecular weight cut off was 10,000). When the diffusate was fractionated by ion exchange chromatography, the activity was found in the flow-through fraction. When the fraction was applied to a hydroxyapatite cartridge, the activity eluted with 25 mM sodium phosphate buffer. When the fraction was re-dialyzed (molecular weight cut off was 1,000), the diffusate contained the activity. As a result of the above fractionation, activity was increased about 10-fold.

Regulation of beta-glucosidase in Bacteroides ruminicola by a different mechanism: growth rate-dependent derepression

Bacteroides ruminicola B(1)4, a predominant ruminal and cecal bacterium, was grown in batch and continuous cultures, and beta-glucosidase activity was measured by following the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-beta-glucopyranoside. Specific activity was high when the bacterium was grown in batch cultures containing cellobiose, mannose, or lactose (greater than 286 U/g of protein). Activity was reduced approximately 90% when the organism was grown on glucose, sucrose, fructose, maltose, or arabinose. The specific activity of cells fermenting glucose was initially low but increased as glucose was depleted. When glucose was added to cultures growing on cellobiose, beta-glucosidase synthesis ceased immediately. Catabolite repression by glucose was not accompanied by diauxic growth and was not relieved by cyclic AMP. Since glucose-grown cultures eventually exhibited high beta-glucosidase activity, cellobiose was not needed as an inducer. Catabolite repression explained beta-glucosidase activity of batch cultures and high-dilution-rate chemostats where glucose accumulated, but it could not account for activity at slow dilution rates. Maximal beta-glucosidase activity was observed at a dilution rate of approximately 0.35 h-1, and cellobiose-limited chemostats showed a 15-fold decrease in activity as the dilution rate declined. An eightfold decline was observed in glucose-limited chemostats. Since inducer availability was not a confounding factor in glucose-limited chemostats, the growth rate-dependent derepression could not be explained by other mechanisms.

Effect of phenolic compounds on cellulose degradation by some white rot basidiomycetes

Abstract Cellulose degradation by several white rot fungi was investigated. In most fungi cellulase production was stimulated by lignin-related phenolics. Detailed investigation of Tremetes versicolor showed that this stimulation was not directly effected by phenols but was due to an indirect induction. The phenol was oxidized by laccase to quinone. The quinone was then reduced by the enzyme cellobiose: quinone-oxidoreductase while cellobiono-lactone was formed from cellobiose. The cellobiono-lactone was responsible for the increased cellulase production in submerged cultures with cellulose as the sole carbon source.
