Abstract Lipopolysaccharides from six nitrogen-fixing strains of Acetobacter diazotrophicus (PR2, PAL3, PAL5, PR4, PR14, PR20), isolated from sugarcane, were purified by phenol-water extraction and ultracentrifugation. The relatively large molecular mass observed by SDS-PAGE indicated that the lipopolysaccharides of each strain possessed an O-side chain. Analysis of each lipopolysaccharide by colorimetric assays and by gas liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry combination showed that the core and lipid A composition was similar for all strains, containing 3-deoxy-d-manno-2-octulosonic acid, glucosamine and fatty acid (16-0, 3-OH-14, 2-OH-16:0, 3-OH-16:0). The neutral sugar composition showed the predominance of 6-deoxy-hexose (rhamnose and fucose) and ribose, in comparison with hexose (glucose, galactose, mannose). The presence of 6-deoxy-hexose and ribose containing O-side chains is discussed as a way of discriminating A. diazotrophicus from other Acetobacter species. 相似文献

13C NMR was used to study the pattern of label incorporation from [2-13C]acetate into trehalose during sporulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A wild-type strain and a strain homozygous for the zwf1 mutation (which affects glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) were used. In the wild-type it was possible to deduce the cycling of glucose 6-phosphate around the hexose monophosphate pathway whilst in the mutant strain this did not occur. The requirement of the hexose monophosphate pathway for providing NADPH for fatty acid biosynthesis was examined using 13C NMR and GC/MS. The wild-type strain produced a typical profile of fatty acids with palmitoleic acid being the most abundant whereas the mutant contained only one-quarter the amount of total fatty acid. As zwf1 homozygous diploids are able to sporulate this indicates that the large amount of fatty acid biosynthesis observed in sporulation of wild-type strains is not essential to the process. 相似文献

Earlier studies on fructose laurate ester products have shown that recombinant Pichia pastoris displaying Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) on the cell surface acts as an efficient whole-cell biocatalyst for sugar ester production from fructose and lauric acid in an organic solvent. The effects of various reaction factors, including solvent composition, substrate molar ratio, enzyme dose, temperature and water activity, on esterification catalyzed by the CALB-displaying P. pastoris whole-cell biocatalyst were examined in the present study. Under the preferred reaction conditions, specifically, 5 mL organic solvent mixture of 2-methyl-2-butanol/DMSO (20% v/v), 2 mmol fructose with a lauric acid to fructose molar ratio of 2:1, 0.3 g whole-cell biocatalyst (1,264 U/g dry cell) with an initial water activity of 0.11, 1.2 g 4Å molecular sieve, reaction temperature of 55oC and 200 rpm stirring speed, the fructose mono laurate ester yield was 78% (w/w). The CALBdisplaying P. pastoris whole-cell biocatalyst exhibited good operational stability, with an evident increase, rather than decrease, in relative activity after the continuous recover and reuse cycle. The relative activity of the biocatalyst remained 50% higher than that of the first batch, even following reuse for 15 batches. Our results collectively indicate that the CALB-displaying P. pastoris whole-cell biocatalyst may be potentially utilized in lieu of free or immobilized enzyme to effectively produce non-ionic surfactants such as fatty acid sugar esters, offering the significant advantages of cost-effectiveness, good operational stability and mild reaction conditions. 相似文献

The chemical composition of yolk lipoproteins (YLP-1, 2, and 3) was determined. YLP-1, 2, and 3 were quite similar as regards the chemical composition of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrate moieties. Each lipoprotein has an average dry weight composition of lipids (55--72%) and apo-lipoproteins (28--45%) containing protein, hexose, hexosamine, and sialic acid. In each lipoprotein, triacylglycerol is a major lipid component (70--83%), followed by phospholipid (8--16%), cholesterol (free and esterified, 8--10%), and free fatty acid (3--4%). Phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine account for 68--74% and 16--24% of the phospholipids, respectively. The fatty acid compositions of total lipids from each lipoprotein are quite similar, with a high degree of unsaturation (63--65%). The carbohydrate content of apolipoprotiens from each lipoprotein is remarkably high (27--31% of apo-lipoproteins) and their composition is very simple: mannose and glucosamine are major constituents in the polysaccharide moiety of each lipoprotein and sialic acid is all in the N-glycolyl form. The amino acid compositions of apo-lipoproteins are quite similar in YLP-1, 2, and 3, with high contents of aspartic acid, glutamic acid, threonine, serine, and leucine. Furthermore, a small amount of glycolipids is present in the yolk lipoproteins. They were separated into six components on TLC. All of them are resorcinol-positive, indicating the presence of sialoglycolipids. 相似文献

The streptococcal group A and E cell wall polysaccharide (PS) antigens were esterified under identical conditions with four fatty acid chlorides (lauroyl, myristoyl, palmitoyl, and stearoyl), varying from 12 to 18 carbon atoms. With group A PS, it was shown that the four resulting esters varied in their ability to sensitize red blood cells (RBC) to agglutination in the presence of specific antiserum. The most active was palmitoyl (16C) followed by myristoyl (14C). The least active was the lauroyl ester (12C). One-tenth as much palmitoyl ester was required as stearoyl group A PS ester. Such variation in the ability to sensitize RBC was not demonstrated with the group E esters, with the exception of the lauroyl ester which was the least active. Removal of N-acetylglucosamine from the esterified and the nonesterified group A PS by enzyme action resulted in a significant loss of serological activity of both antigens. No appreciable difference in the rate or total loss of activity was found in either case. It was demonstrated that both tritium-labeled stearic and palmitic acids and their respective PS esters were adsorbed in significant amounts to RBC. The results indicate that the esterified antigens were adsorbed to the RBC because of the presence of the fatty acid in the PS ester. Attempts to block the receptor sites on the red cell by presensitizing the cells with fatty acid were negative. Likewise, the adsorbed ester did not prevent the uptake of fatty acid at the levels tested. Tritium-labeled esterified group A PS and group E PS were used to show that the amount of antigen required to produce maximal agglutination was the same when cells from the same individual were used, whereas this was not the case when cells from different individuals were used. The amount of antigen required to produce maximal agglutination varied from one batch of sheep RBC to another. Once the optimal concentration of antigen was reached, any additional adsorption did not increase the titer of agglutination. 相似文献

The fatty acid and monosaccharide composition of four pathogenic and two saprophytic strains of Leptospira was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry. Among the fatty acids, palmitic acid was most abundant and constituted 30 to 50% of the total fatty acids. Even-numbered unsaturated acids including octadecenoic, hexadecenoic, octadecadienoic, and tetradecadienoic acids comprised 40 to 60% of the total fatty acids. Tetradecanoic acid was about 5% in saprophytic strains, but 1% or less in pathogenic strains. The amount of chloroform-methanol extract of L. biflexa strain Ancona was 14 to 20% of the dry weight of the cell. Tetradecadienoic acid was found in the chloroform-methanol insoluble fraction, suggesting the presence of the acid in a bound form. GC analysis of monosaccharides revealed the existence of arabinose, xylose, rhamnose, mannose, galactose, glucose, glucosamine, and muramic acid in the cells. Among the neutral sugars, glucose was a minor component and was especially low in pathogenic strains. Total pentose content was about two to three times greater than total hexose. 相似文献

A fast atom bombardment mass spectrometric protocol has been developed to determine the type of oligosaccharide chain present in glycoproteins. The procedure is based on acetolysis of the intact glycoconjugate, extraction of the peracetylated carbohydrate fragments and analysis by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. The molecular ions present in the FAB spectra uniquely define the composition of the oligosaccharides with respect to hexose, aminohexose and sialic acid content. High mannose oligosaccharides yield a series of peracetylated hexose oligomers whereas complex-type oligosaccharides afford a series of N-acetyl-lactosamine containing species. Fucosylation is usually not detected but sialylated oligosaccharides are readily identified and the type of sialic acid is also defined. The method has been tested on three glycoproteins of known structure - fetuin, ribonuclease B and erythrocyte Band 3 - and on a glycoprotein of unknown structure - alpha-galactosidase I, an enzyme lectin from Vicia faba. The latter is shown to contain high mannose carbohydrate chains. 相似文献

Inositol glycans were prepared from reductively radiomethylated human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase by sequential treatment with Proteinase K, methanolic KOH, and phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. Four glycans denoted alpha-delta were resolved by anion exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Each glycan was subjected to hydrolysis in 4 M trifluoroacetic acid, and their hexose and hexose phosphate compositions were determined by anion exchange HPLC. The predominant glycan alpha showed a relative stoichiometry of 2 mannoses, 1 mannose 6-phosphate, 1 radiomethylated glucosamine, 1 radiomethylated ethanolamine, and 1 inositol. In contrast, the stoichiometry of glycan beta was 1 mannose, 2 mannose 6-phosphates, 1 radiomethylated glucosamine, 2 radiomethylated ethanolamines, and 1 inositol. Glycans alpha and beta were analyzed by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry, and respective parent ions of m/z 1266 and 1417 were observed. The fragmentation pattern produced by collision-induced dissociation mass spectrometry of these parent ions was consistent with a common linear core glycan sequence prior to radiomethylation of ethanolamine-phosphate-mannose - mannose - mannose - glucosamine - inositol. Glycan alpha contained a single additional radiomethylated phosphoethanolamine branching from the mannose adjacent to glucosamine, whereas glycan beta contained two additional radiomethylated phosphoethanolamines, one branching from each of the mannoses nearest to glucosamine. Trifluoroacetic acid hydrolysis did not cleave within the N,N-dimethylglucosamine-inositol-phosphate moiety in these glycans, and this component was resolved by anion exchange HPLC and structurally confirmed by mass spectrometry. Dephosphorylation of this component by treatment with 50% HF produced N,N-dimethylglucosamine-inositol, and this conjugate was shown to have a characteristic elution time on cation exchange chromatography in an amino acid analyzer. Both of these fragments involving an intact radiomethylated glucosamine-inositol bond are proposed as new diagnostic indicators in the search for minor glycoinositol phospholipids in cells and tissues. 相似文献

The kinetics of enzymatic esterification of glycerol with oleic acid, in equimolar ratio, catalyzed by immobilized Mucor miehei lipase in a solvent system in the presence of the molecular sieves was carried out at 37°C at different Lipozym and solvent ( n-hexane) concentrations and the molecular sieve contents were studied in a batch stirred-tank reactor (BSTR). The reactions were followed by the determination of reaction conversions during 45 h. The experimental data of enzymatic esterification of glycerol with oleic acid in a solvent system in the presence of molecular sieves showed minimal deviation from the calculated value in the irreversible second order kinetic model. On the basis of the experimental data, we found an empirical correlation between concentrations of Lipozym, concentrations of solvent ( n-hexane), contents of the molecular sieve and the reaction rate constant, k1. 相似文献

A simple synthesis of sugar fatty acid esters was developed in a nonaqueous solution using lipase modified by synthetic detergent. Esterification of sugar was accelerated by continuous removal of water from the reaction mixture with a molecular sieve. When glucose and palmitic acid (1:1 by mole) were used as the starting substrates, more than 90% of glucose was converted to its ester in this system. The resultant product was 6-O-palmitoylglucose. Other mono- or disaccharides were also esterified by the modified lipase with high yield. It was shown that the modified lipase might act as a catalyst for the synthesis of sugar fatty acid esters. 相似文献

A kinetic model derived from the ping-pong bi-bi reversible mechanism is proposed to described the acylation of glucose by lauric acid in 2-methyl 2-butanol mediated by Candida antarctica lipase at 60 degrees C. The model accounts for the effect of all four compounds in the reaction mixture, namely lauric acid, glucose, water, and lauroyl glucose ester. A supersaturated glucose solution was used to avoid limitations by glucose dissolution rate. Experiments with varied initial water content were performed to determine the effect of water on the initial reaction rate. The full time course of ester formation is described by five parameters: (a) three parameters evaluated from initial rate measurements; (b) the equilibrium constant, independently evaluated; and (c) one extra parameter fitted to the progress curve of ester formation. This reduced form of a full reversible kinetic model based on the ping-pong bi-bi mechanism is able to describe the complete course of lauroyl glucose ester synthesis. The proposed model provides a good fit for the experimental results. 相似文献

Excess vitamin A stimulated the incorporation of mannose into rat liver mannosylretinylphosphate (MRP), dolichylmannosylphosphate (DMP), and into glycoproteins by over 200% during a 20-min labeling period. The glycoproteins were digested with pronase and separated into three components by molecular sieve chromatography. The stimulation of mannose incorporation was greatest in the Peak II glycopeptide (Mr = 6500). In contrast, the incorporation of galactose into glycolipids or glycopeptides was not altered by vitamin A treatment. Analysis of the glycopeptide stimulated by vitamin A treatment showed it to contain mannose, glucose, galactose, and glucosamine in the respective molar ratios of 7:10:17:1 and to be rich in glutamic acid, serine, glycine, aspartic acid, and threonine. The results suggest that excess vitamin A stimulates the incorporation of mannose into glycoproteins by enhancing the synthesis of lipid intermediates involved in specific mannosyl transfer reactions. 相似文献

Long-chain acyl thioesters (thio wax esters) have been prepared in high (80% to more than 90%) yields by solvent-free esterification
of fatty acids (lauric, myristic, palmitic and stearic acids) with long-chain thiols, such as decane thiol, dodecane thiol,
tetradecane thiol and hexadecane thiol, catalysed by lipases from Candida antarctica (Novozym) and Rhizomucor miehei (Lipozyme) in the presence of a 0.4-nm molecular sieve. In the thioesterification reaction Novozym was a more effective biocatalyst
than Lipozyme. The extent of thioesterification increased with increasing molar ratio of fatty acid to alkane thiol (1:1 to
3:1) and with temperature (40 °C compared to 60 °C), as well as with the amount of the enzyme preparation and the amount of
0.4-nm molecular sieve. Decreasing the chain length of the alkane thiol from C 16 to C 10 also increased the extent of thioesterification. Lipase-catalysed solvent-free transthioesterification of fatty acid methyl
esters with alkane thiols was less effective for the preparation of acyl thioesters than was thioesterification of fatty acids
with alkane thiols. In transthioesterification, Lipozyme was slightly more effective as a biocatalyst than Novozym.

Enzymatic synthesis of glyceryl monoundecylenate (GMU) was performed using indigenously immobilized Candida anatarctica lipase B preparation (named as PyCal) using glycerol and undecylenic acid as substrates. The effect of molar ratio, enzyme load, reaction time, and organic solvent on the reaction conversion was determined. Both batch and continuous processes for GMU synthesis with shortened reaction time were developed. Under optimized batch reaction conditions such as 1:5 molar ratio of undecylenic acid and glycerol, 2?h of reaction time at 30% substrate concentration in tert-butyl alcohol, conversion of 82% in the absence of molecular sieve, and conversion of 93% in the presence of molecular sieve were achieved. Packed bed reactor studies resulted in high conversion of 86% in 10-min residence time. Characterization of formed GMU was performed by FTIR, MS/MS. Enzymatic process resulted in GMU as a predominant product in high yield and shorter reaction time periods with GMU content of 92% and DAG content of 8%. Optimized GMU synthesis in the present study can be used as a useful reference for industrial synthesis of fatty acid esters of glycerol by the enzymatic route. 相似文献

1. The lipids of purified human leucocytes were extracted with chloroform-methanol and the extract was washed with water. Glycolipids, isolated by Florisil chromatography, were subjected to mild alkaline hydrolysis and the alkali-resistant fraction was fractionated on a silicic acid column. 2. Three classes of glycolipid were separated. The less polar, containing 3.6% of the total glycolipid hexose as galactose, was tentatively identified as ceramide monohexoside. The major glycolipid fraction was characterized as ceramide dihexosides. The more polar glycolipids comprised 1.6% of the total glycolipid hexose as galactose and glucose (in the molar ratio 2:1) and were non-acidic. This class was separated as a mixture containing ninhydrin-positive glycolipids. 3. The ceramide dihexosides taken from two leucocyte preparations accounted for 15.2% and 16.4% by weight of the total lipids. 4. The carbohydrate moiety of the ceramide dihexosides contained galactose and glucose in the molar ratio 2:1. Partial acid hydrolysis and paper chromatography indicated that the hexoses are present as disaccharides, lactose being identified as one of them. 5. Palmitic acid (C(16:0)) and nervonic acid (C(24:1)) were the major fatty acids of this glycolipid. Hydroxy fatty acids were not detected. 相似文献

A particulate enzyme preparation from Mycobacterium smegmatis catalyzes the transfer of [(14)C]galactose from uridine 5'-diphosphate (UDP)-[(14)C]galactose and of [(14)C]glucose from UDP-[(14)C]glucose into chloroform-soluble products. The radioactive neutral lipids were purified by passage through diethylaminoethyl-cellulose, followed by thin-layer chromatography. When UDP-glucose was used as substrate, two major radioactive lipids were obtained; one had a hexose-glucose-glycerol ratio of 1:1:1. The second product had a hexose-glycerol ratio of 2:1 and, in addition to glucose, contained lesser amounts of mannose and galactose. With UDP-galactose as substrate, two radioactive products were observed that were chromatographically indistinguishable from the [(14)C]glucosyl-labeled mono- and diglycosyldiglyceride. Palmitate and oleate were the predominant fatty acid constituents in these lipids and were present in equimolar amounts in all of the products examined. The products have thus been identified as monoglycosyldiglyceride and a diglycosyldiglyceride containing glucose as the major hexose along with mannose and galactose. Properties of the galactosyl and glucosyl transferases are described. 相似文献

Two agricultural by-products, wheat bran and maize bran have been examined for their suitability to be transformed into biomaterials by esterification by lauroyl chloride. Influence of biochemical characteristic of cellulose (cellulose content, viscosity-average degree of polymerization, crystallinity) was studied on eight samples enriched in cellulose after chemical removal of heteroxylans and lignin. After an acidic pre-treatment, esterification was carried out with lauroyl chloride and an optimized reaction time of 8 h was used. Chemical compositions were similar for all cellulose esters obtained, but cellulose content of initial material had a marked influence on the amount of esterified product. A film was easily obtained by casting and the mechanical (tensile strength and elongation), thermomechanical and calorimetric properties were determined. The possible role of grafted fatty acid as internal plasticizer was finally discussed. 相似文献

The solution conformations of UDPG, UDPGN, UDPGal, UDPM, UDPGluc, UDPGalc, ADPG, ADPM, GDPG, GDPM, and CDPG and their components Glu-1-P, Gal-1-P, Man-1-P, Gluc-1-P, Galc-1-P, ADP, GDP, UDP, and CDP are studied by high resolution fast Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy with iterative computer line shape simulation. The following results were observed. (1) The six-membered ring is in 4C1 chair form with the C(5')-C(6') bond in gg equilibrium tg equilibrium for the derivatives of glucose and mannose and gt equilibrium tg for those of galactose. (2) No conformational preference can be detected for C(1')-O(1') bond in hexose-1'-P moiety. (3) Chemical shift dependencies for the pyranoid ring protons and their structural and conformational relations are: (a) axial proton is at higher field than equatorial: (b) the shielding effect of a gauche vicinal hydroxyl group is stronger than a trans vicinal; (c) the vicinity of a hydroxyl group located more than three bonds away tends to shift the proton downfield. (4) The conformation of the nucleoside 5'-diphosphate part is [anti, 2E equilibrium 3E, g'g' equilibrium g't', g'g' equilibrium g'/t'], with slight variation of each conformation occuring for individual compounds. (5) No significant interactions are detected between the hexose and nucleoside parts in the nucleoside diphosphohexoses, and the hexose and nucleoside components display the same conformational preference as they become integrated to form nucleoside diphosphohexoses. 相似文献
