Four precursors (l-phenylalanine, l-tryptophan, cinnamic acid and emodin) and one signal elicitor (methyl jasmonate, MeJA) were added to liquid cultures of Hypericum perforatum L. to study their effect on production of hyperforin and hypericins (pseudohypericin and hypericin). The addition of l-phenylalanine (75 to 100 mg l−1) enhanced production of hypericins, but hyperforin levels were decreased. Hypericin, pseudohypericin and hyperforin concentrations were all decreased when l-tryptophan (25 to 100 mg l−1) was added to the medium. However, addition of l-tryptophan (50 mg l−1) with MeJA (100 μM) stimulated hyperforin production significantly (1.81-fold) and resulted in an increased biomass. Cinnamic acid (25, 50 mg l−1) and emodin (1.0 to 10.0 mg l−1) each enhanced hyperforin accumulation in H. perforatum, but did not affect accumulation of hypericins.  相似文献

Corynebacterium acetoacidophilum RYU3161 was cultivated in al-histidine-limited fed-batch culture. To investigate the effect of cell growth on thel-proline production, 5l fed-batch culture was performed using an exponential feeding rate to obtain the specific growth rates (μ) of 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, and 0.1 h−1. The results show that the highest production ofl-proline was obtained at μ=0.04 h−1. The specificl-proline production rate (Qp) increased proportionally as a function of the specific growth rate, but decreased after it revealed the maximum value at μ=0.08 h−1. Thus, the highest productivity ofl-proline was 1.66 g L−1 h−1 at μ=0.08 h−1. The results show that the production of L-proline inC. acetoacidophilum RYU3161 has mixed growth-associated characteristics.  相似文献

l-Ribose is a rare and expensive sugar that can be used as a precursor for the production of l-nucleoside analogues, which are used as antiviral drugs. In this work, we describe a novel way of producing l-ribose from the readily available raw material l-arabinose. This was achieved by introducing l-ribose isomerase activity into l-ribulokinase-deficient Escherichia coli UP1110 and Lactobacillus plantarum BPT197 strains. The process for l-ribose production by resting cells was investigated. The initial l-ribose production rates at 39°C and pH 8 were 0.46 ± 0.01 g g−1 h−1 (1.84 ± 0.03 g l−1 h−1) and 0.27 ± 0.01 g g−1 h−1 (1.91 ± 0.1 g l−1 h−1) for E. coli and for L. plantarum, respectively. Conversions were around 20% at their highest in the experiments. Also partially purified protein precipitates having both l-arabinose isomerase and l-ribose isomerase activity were successfully used for converting l-arabinose to l-ribose.  相似文献

The recombinant Pichia pastoris harboring an improved methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) shuffled gene was employed to biosynthesize S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM). Two l-methionine (l-Met) addition strategies were used to supply the precursor: the batch addition strategy (l-Met was added separately at three time points) and the continuous feeding strategies (l-Met was fed continuously at the rate of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5 g l−1 h−1, respectively). SAM accumulation, l-Met conversion rate, and SAM productivity with the continuous feeding strategies were all improved over the batch addition strategy, which reached 8.46 ± 0.31 g l−1, 41.7 ± 1.4%, and 0.18 ± 0.01 g l−1 h−1 with the best continuous feeding strategy (0.2 g l−1 h−1), respectively. The bottleneck for SAM production with the low l-Met feeding rate (0.1 g L−1 h−1) was the insufficient l-Met supply. The analysis of the key enzyme activities indicated that the tricarboxylic acid cycle and glycolytic pathway were reduced with the increasing l-Met feeding rate, which decreased the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis. The MAT activity also decreased as the l-Met feeding rate rose. The reduced ATP synthesis and MAT activity were probably the reason for the low SAM accumulation when the l-Met feeding rate reached 0.5 g l−1 h−1.  相似文献

A recombinant putative glycoside hydrolase from Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus was purified with a specific activity of 12 U mg−1 by heat treatment and His-Trap affinity chromatography, and identified as a single 56 kDa band upon SDS-PAGE. The native enzyme is a dimer with a molecular mass of 112 kDa as determined by gel filtration. The enzyme exhibited its highest activity when debranched arabinan (1,5-α-l-arabinan) was used as the substrate, demonstrating that the enzyme was an endo-1,5-α-l-arabinanase. The K m, k cat, and k cat/K m values were 18 mg ml−1, 50 s−1, and a 2.8 mg ml−1 s−1, respectively. Maximum enzyme activity was at pH 6.5 and 75°C. The half-lives of the enzyme at 65, 70 and 75°C were 2440, 254 and 93 h, respectively, indicating that it is the most thermostable of the known endo-1,5-α-l-arabinanases.  相似文献

Lactobacillus delbrueckii was grown on sugarcane molasses, sugarcane juice and sugar beet juice in batch fermentation at pH 6 and at 40°C. After 72 h, the lactic acid from 13% (w/v) sugarcane molasses (119 g total sugar l−1) and sugarcane juice (133 g total sugar l−1) was 107 g l−1 and 120 g l−1, respectively. With 10% (w/v) sugar beet juice (105 g total sugar l−1), 84 g lactic acid l−1 was produced. The optical purities of d-lactic acid from the feedstocks ranged from 97.2 to 98.3%.  相似文献

A set of three oxaliplatin derivatives containing 1,2-trans-R,R-diaminocyclohexane (dach) as a spectator ligand and different chelating leaving groups X–Y, viz., [Pt(dach)(O,O-cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylate)], or Pt(dach)(CBDCA), [Pt(dach)(N,O-glycine)]+, or Pt(dach)(gly), and [Pt(dach)(N,S-methionine)]+, or Pt(dach)(l-Met), where l-Met is l-methionine, were synthesized and the crystal structure of Pt(dach)(gly) was determined by X-ray diffraction. The effect of the leaving group on the reactivity of the resulting Pt(II) complexes was studied for the nucleophiles thiourea, glutathione (GSH) and l-Met under pseudo-first-order conditions as a function of nucleophile concentration and temperature, using UV–vis spectrophotometric techniques. 1H NMR spectroscopy was used to follow the substitution of the leaving group by guanosine 5′-monophosphate (5′-GMP2−) under second-order conditions. The rate constants indicate for all reactions a direct substitution of the X–Y chelate by the selected nucleophiles, thereby showing that the nature of the chelate, viz., O–O (CBDCA2−), N–O (glycine) or S–N (l-Met), respectively, plays an important role in the kinetic and mechanistic behavior of the Pt(II) complex. The k 1 values for the reaction with thiourea, l-Met, GSH and 5′-GMP2− were found to be as follows (103 k 1, 37.5 °C, M−1 s−1): Pt(dach)(CBDCA) 61 ± 2, 21.6 ± 0.1, 23 ± 1, 0.352 ± 0.002; Pt(dach)(gly) 82 ± 3, 6.2 ± 0.2, 37 ± 1, 1.77 ± 0.01; Pt(dach)(l-Met) (thiourea, GSH) 62 ± 2, 24 ± 1. The activation parameters for all reactions studied suggest an associative substitution mechanism.

Corynebacterium glutamicum R was metabolically engineered to broaden its sugar utilization range to d-xylose and d-cellobiose contained in lignocellulose hydrolysates. The resultant recombinants expressed Escherichia coli xylA and xylB genes, encoding d-xylose isomerase and xylulokinase, respectively, for d-xylose utilization and expressed C. glutamicum R bglF 317A and bglA genes, encoding phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) β-glucoside-specific enzyme IIBCA component and phospho-β-glucosidase, respectively, for d-cellobiose utilization. The genes were fused to the non-essential genomic regions distributed around the C. glutamicum R chromosome and were under the control of their respective constitutive promoter trc and tac that permitted their expression even in the presence of d-glucose. The enzyme activities of resulting recombinants increased with the increase in the number of respective integrated genes. Maximal sugar utilization was realized with strain X5C1 harboring five xylA–xylB clusters and one bglF 317A bglA cluster. In both d-cellobiose and d-xylose utilization, the sugar consumption rates by genomic DNA-integrated strain were faster than those by plasmid-bearing strain, respectively. In mineral medium containing 40 g l−1 d-glucose, 20 g l−1 d-xylose, and 10 g l−1 d-cellobiose, strain X5C1 simultaneously and completely consumed these sugars within 12 h and produced predominantly lactic and succinic acids under growth-arrested conditions.  相似文献

l-Galactono-1,4-lactone (GalL) dehydrogenase (GLDH) is an enzyme that catalyzes the last step of l-ascorbate (AsA) biosynthesis in plants. To re-evaluate the importance of the enzyme and the possibility of manipulating the AsA content in plants, a cDNA encoding GLDH from sweet potato was introduced into tobacco plants by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation under the control of a CaMV 35S promoter. Protein blot analysis revealed the elevation of GLDH protein contents in three GLDH-transformed lines. Furthermore, these transgenic lines showed 6- to 10-fold higher GLDH activities in the roots than the non-transformed plants, SR1. Despite the elevated GLDH activity, the AsA content in the leaves did not change in all lines; i.e., the AsA content in GLDH-transformed lines was 3–7 μmol g−1 FW, comparable to that in the non-transformed plants. Incubation of leaf discs in a GalL solution led to a rapid 2- to 3-fold increase in the AsA content in both GLDH-transformed and non-transformed plants in the same manner. These results suggest that the supply of GalL is a crucial factor for determining the AsA pool size and that the upstream genes in the AsA biosynthetic pathway are responsible for enhancing the AsA content in plants.  相似文献

Paclitaxel and 10-deacetylbaccatin III (10-DAB III) were produced in suspension cultures of Taxus × media var. Hicksii grown in shake-flasks and in a 7-l bioreactor reaching, in the bioreactor, 4.4 mg l−1 (on day 14) and 37.5 mg l−1 (on day 11). In shake-flasks the highest total content of paclitaxel and 10-DAB III was 7.3 mg l−1 (on day 4) and 8.8 mg l−1 (on day 18). Phenylalanine, at 0.05 mM, increased paclitaxel accumulation in cells cultivated in bioreactor and flasks 30-fold and 9-fold (from 0.02 mg l−1 to 0.6 mg l−1 and to 0.2 mg l−1, respectively). The 10-DAB III content in cells from flasks was increased from 0.4 mg l−1 to 1.6 mg l−1.  相似文献

Summary Embryogenic callus induction and plant regeneration systems have long been established for creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.), but little research has been reported on optimal medium for embryogenic callus induction and plant regeneration in velvet bentgrass (Agrostis canina L.), colonial bentgrass (Agrostis capillaries L.), and annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.). The present study compared 14 callus induction media and eight regeneration media for their efficacies on embryogenic callus induction and plant regeneration in these four species. The embryogenic callus initiation media contained the Murashige and Skoog inorganic salts and vitamins supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid or 3,6-dichloro-anisic acid and 6-benzyladenine. l-Proline or casein hydrolyzate was included in some media to stimulate embryogenic callus formation and plant regeneration. The frequencies of embryogenic callus formation ranged from 0% to 38% and exhibited medium differences within each of the four species. Callus induction media, plant regeneration media, and genotypes affected plant regeneration rates, which varied between 0% and 100%. The embryogenic callus induced on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 500 mgl−1 casein hydrolyzate, 6.63 mg l−1 (30 μM) 3,6-dichloro-anisic acid and 0.5–2.0 mg l−1 (2–9 μM) 6-benzyladenine had much higher regeneration rates than those formed on other callus induction media. Embryogenic callus of annual bluegrass had higher regeneration rates than those of bentgrass species. MSA2D, a media containing 2 mgl−1 (8 μM) 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 100 mgl−1 myo-inositol, and 150 mgl−1 asparagine, was effective in promoting embryogenic callus formation in creeping bentgrass but not in colonial and velvet bentgrasses and annual bluegrass.  相似文献

Exogenously applied ABA-β-d-glucopyranosyl ester (ABA-GE) inhibited shoot growth of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), cress (Lepidium sativum L.), lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), Digitaria sanguinalis L., timothy (Pheleum pratense L.) and ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) seedlings at concentrations greater than 0.1 μM. The growth inhibitory activity of ABA-GE on these shoots was 26–40% of that of (+)-ABA. ABA-β-d-glucosidase activities in these seedlings were 11–31 nmol mg−1 protein min−1. These results suggests that exogenously applied ABA-GE may be absorbed by plant roots and hydrolyzed by ABA-β-d-glucosidase, and liberated free ABA may induce the growth inhibition in these plants. Thus, although ABA-GE had been thought to be physiologically inactive ABA conjugate, ABA-GE may have important physiological functions rather than an inactive conjugated ABA form.  相似文献

Summary A protocol for the inducton of somatic embryogenesis from immature zygotic embryos of Rosa bourboniana, a scented rose species, was established. Somatic embryos were induced after 8wk of inoculation of zygotic embryos on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (5–15 μM). In addition to 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid concentrations, somatic embryogenesis was also influenced by the month of collection of the explant and the stage of maturity of the hip. Maximum embryogenic response (16.6%) was observed using 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (15 μM), from green hips in the month of September. The use of l-proline (800 mg l−1) was found to be optimum for secondary embryogenesis. On periodic subculturing, the cultures formed somatic embryos sustainably over a period of 18 mo. For somatic embryo germination, 6-benzylaminopurine (5 μM) was found to be most suitable. Rooted plants were transferred successfully to soil and appear morphologically normal under greenhouse conditions. Transfer of plants for hardening was most suitable during the active growth period between June and September. IHBT Publication No: 0447  相似文献

A novel transglycosylation reaction from sucrose to l-ascorbic acid by a recombinant sucrose phosphorylase from Bifidobacterium longum was used to produce a stable l-ascorbic acid derivative. The major product was detected by HPLC, and confirmed to be 2-O-α-d-glucopyranosyl-l-ascorbic acid by LC-MS/MS analysis.  相似文献

A stress-responsive gene, yggG, was introduced into an l-phenylalanine producer, Escherichia coli AJ12741. In shake-flask culture, the yggG-containing recombinant strain (named AJ12741/pHYGG) produced 6.4 g l-phenylalanine l−1 at the end of culture and its yield on glucose was 0.16 g l-phenylalanine g glucose−1. These values are much higher than those of the original AJ12741 strain (3.7 g l-phenylalanine l−1 and 0.09 g l-phenylalanine g glucose−1, respectively). On the other hand, AJ12741/pHYGG strain produced only 4.5 g acetic acid l−1 and its yield on glucose was about a half of that of the AJ12741 culture. Analysis of gene expression revealed that in late growth phase, the expression levels of genes involved in acetic acid production (pta, ackA, and poxB) were relatively low in AJ12741/pHYGG cells. In particular, the level of poxB expression in AJ12741/pHYGG strains was one-seventh of that of the original strain. These results suggest that the formation of a bottleneck for acetic acid production brings about a metabolic flow favorable to l-phenylalanine synthesis in the recombinant strain over-expressing the yggG gene.

Glutaminase-free l-asparaginase is known to be an excellent anticancer agent. In the present study, statistically based experimental designs were applied to maximize the production of glutaminase-free l-asparaginase from Pectobacterium carotovorum MTCC 1428. Nine components of the medium were examined for their significance on the production of l-asparaginase using the Plackett–Burman experimental design. The medium components, viz., glucose, l-asparagine, KH2PO4, and MgSO4·7H2O, were screened based on their high confidence levels (P < 0.04). The optimum levels of glucose, l-asparagine, KH2PO4, and MgSO4·7H2O were found to be 2.076, 5.202, 1.773, and 0.373 g L−1, respectively, using the central composite experimental design. The maximum specific activity of l-asparaginase in the optimized medium was 27.88 U mg−1 of protein, resulting in an overall 8.3-fold increase in the production compared to the unoptimized medium.  相似文献

A recombinant oxidation/reduction cycle for the conversion of D-fructose to D-mannitol was established in resting cells of Corynebacterium glutamicum. Whole cells were used as biocatalysts, supplied with 250 mM sodium formate and 500 mM D-fructose at pH 6.5. The mannitol dehydrogenase gene (mdh) from Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides was overexpressed in strain C. glutamicum ATCC 13032. To ensure sufficient cofactor [nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (reduced form, NADH)] supply, the fdh gene encoding formate dehydrogenase from Mycobacterium vaccae N10 was coexpressed. The recombinant C. glutamicum cells produced D-mannitol at a constant production rate of 0.22 g (g cdw)−1 h−1. Expression of the glucose/fructose facilitator gene glf from Zymomonas mobilis in C. glutamicum led to a 5.5-fold increased productivity of 1.25 g (g cdw)−1 h−1, yielding 87 g l−1 D-mannitol from 93.7 g l−1 D-fructose. Determination of intracellular NAD(H) concentration during biotransformation showed a constant NAD(H) pool size and a NADH/NAD+ ratio of approximately 1. In repetitive fed-batch biotransformation, 285 g l−1 D-mannitol over a time period of 96 h with an average productivity of 1.0 g (g cdw)−1 h−1 was formed. These results show that C. glutamicum is a favorable biocatalyst for long-term biotransformation with resting cells. Dedicated to Prof. Hermann Sahm on the occasion of his 65th birthday.  相似文献

A kinetic study on esterification between d-glucose and l-phenylalanine catalysed by lipases from Rhizomucor miehei (RML) and Candida rugosa (CRL) in organic media investigated in detail showed that both the lipases followed a Ping-Pong Bi-Bi mechanism with two distinct types of competitive inhibitions. Graphical double reciprocal plots and computer simulation studies showed that competitive double substrate inhibition took place at higher concentrations leading to dead-end inhibition in the case of RML and in the case of CRL, inhibition only by d-glucose at higher concentrations leading to dead-end lipase–d-glucose complexes. An attempt to obtain the best fit of these kinetic models through curve-fitting yielded in good approximation, the apparent values of important kinetic parameters, RML: k cat = 2.24 ± 0.23 mM h−1 (mg protein)−1, K m l-phenylalanine = 95.6 ± 9.7 mM, K m d-glucose = 80.0 ± 8.5 mM, K i l-phenylalanine = 90.0 ± 9.2 mM, K i d-glucose = 13.6 ± 1.42 mM; CRL: k cat = 0.51 ± 0.06 mM h−1 (mg protein)−1, K m l-phenylalanine = 10.0 ± 0.98 mM, K m d-glucose = 6.0 ± 0.64 mM, K i d-glucose = 8.5 ± 0.81 mM.  相似文献

Based on analysis of the genome sequence of Bacillus licheniformis ATCC 14580, an isomerase-encoding gene (araA) was proposed as an l-arabinose isomerase (L-AI). The identified araA gene was cloned from B. licheniformis and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. DNA sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 1,422 bp, capable of encoding a polypeptide of 474 amino acid residues with a calculated isoelectric point of pH 4.8 and a molecular mass of 53,500 Da. The gene was overexpressed in E. coli, and the protein was purified as an active soluble form using Ni–NTA chromatography. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be ~53 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 113 kDa by gel filtration chromatography, suggesting that the enzyme is a homodimer. The enzyme required a divalent metal ion, either Mn2+or Co2+, for enzymatic activity. The enzyme had an optimal pH and temperature of 7.5 and 50°C, respectively, with a k cat of 12,455 min−1 and a k cat/K m of 34 min−1 mM−1 for l-arabinose, respectively. Although L-AIs have been characterized from several other sources, B. licheniformis L-AI is distinguished from other L-AIs by its wide pH range, high substrate specificity, and catalytic efficiency for l-arabinose, making B. licheniformis L-AI the ideal choice for industrial applications, including enzymatic synthesis of l-ribulose. This work describes one of the most catalytically efficient L-AIs characterized thus far.  相似文献

The occurrence of four l-alanine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase (AOAT) isoenzymes (AOAT-like proteins): alanine aminotransferase 1 and 2 (AlaAT1 and AlaAT2, EC 2.6.1.2) and l-glutamate:glyoxylate aminotransferase 1 and 2 (GGAT1 and GGAT2, EC 2.6.1.4) was demonstrated in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves. These enzymes differed in their substrate specificity, susceptibility to pyridoxal phosphate inhibitors and behaviour during molecular sieving on Zorbax SE-250 column. A difference was observed in the electrostatic charge values at pH 9.1 between GGAT1 and GGAT2 as well as between AlaAT1 and AlaAT2, despite high levels of amino acid sequence identity (93 % and 85 %, respectively). The unprecedented evidence for the monomeric structure of both AlaAT1 and AlaAT2 is presented. The molecular mass of each enzyme estimated by molecular sieving on Sephadex G-150 and Zorbax SE-250 columns and SDS/PAGE was approximately 60 kDa. The kinetic parameters: Km (Ala)=1.53 mM, Km (2-oxoglutarate)=0.18 mM, kcat=124.6 s−1, kcat/Km=8.1 × 104 M−1·s−1 of AlaAT1 were comparable to those determined for other AlaATs isolated from different sources. The two studied GGATs also consisted of a single subunit with molecular mass of 47.3–70 kDa. The estimated Km values for l-glutamate (1.2 mM) and glyoxylate (0.42 mM) in the transamination catalyzed by putative GGAT1 contributed to indentification of the enzyme. Based on these results we concluded that each of four AOAT genes in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves expresses different AOAT isoenzyme, functioning in a native state as a monomer.  相似文献
