Background
Rhamnolipids are biosurfactants featuring surface-active properties that render them suitable for a broad range of industrial applications. These properties include their emulsification and foaming capacity, critical micelle concentration, and ability to lower surface tension. Further, aspects like biocompatibility and environmental friendliness are becoming increasingly important. Rhamnolipids are mainly produced by pathogenic bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We previously designed and constructed a recombinant Pseudomonas putida KT2440, which synthesizes rhamnolipids by decoupling production from host-intrinsic regulations and cell growth.Results
Here, the molecular structure of the rhamnolipids, i.e., different congeners produced by engineered P. putida are reported. Natural rhamnolipid producers can synthesize mono- and di-rhamnolipids, containing one or two rhamnose molecules, respectively. Of each type of rhamnolipid four main congeners are produced, deviating in the chain lengths of the β-hydroxy-fatty acids. The resulting eight main rhamnolipid congeners with variable numbers of hydrophobic/hydrophilic residues and their mixtures feature different physico-chemical properties that might lead to diverse applications. We engineered a microbial cell factory to specifically produce three different biosurfactant mixtures: a mixture of di- and mono-rhamnolipids, mono-rhamnolipids only, and hydroxyalkanoyloxy alkanoates, the precursors of rhamnolipid synthesis, consisting only of β-hydroxy-fatty acids. To support the possibility of second generation biosurfactant production with our engineered microbial cell factory, we demonstrate rhamnolipid production from sustainable carbon sources, including glycerol and xylose. A simple purification procedure resulted in biosurfactants with purities of up to 90%. Finally, through determination of properties specific for surface active compounds, we were able to show that the different mixtures indeed feature different physico-chemical characteristics.Conclusions
The approach demonstrated here is a first step towards the production of designer biosurfactants, tailor-made for specific applications by purposely adjusting the congener composition of the mixtures. Not only were we able to genetically engineer our cell factory to produce specific biosurfactant mixtures, but we also showed that the products are suited for different applications. These designer biosurfactants can be produced as part of a biorefinery from second generation carbon sources such as xylose.2.

Rhamnolipids are biosurfactants with a wide range of industrial applications that entered into the market a decade ago. They are naturally produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and some Burkholderia species. Occasionally, some strains of different bacterial species, like Pseudomonas chlororaphis NRRL B-30761, which have acquired RL-producing ability by horizontal gene transfer, have been described. P. aeruginosa, the ubiquitous opportunistic pathogenic bacterium, is the best rhamnolipids producer, but Pseudomonas putida has been used as heterologous host for the production of this biosurfactant with relatively good yields. The molecular genetics of rhamnolipids production by P. aeruginosa has been widely studied not only due to the interest in developing overproducing strains, but because it is coordinately regulated with the expression of different virulence-related traits by the quorum-sensing response. Here, we highlight how the research of the molecular mechanisms involved in rhamnolipid production have impacted the development of strains that are suitable for industrial production of this biosurfactant, as well as some perspectives to improve these industrial useful strains. 相似文献

Rhamnolipids, produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, represent an important group of biosurfactants having various industrial, environmental, and medical applications. Current
methods for rhamnolipid quantification involve the use of strong hazardous acids/chemicals, indirect measurement of the concentration
of sugar moiety, or require the availability of expensive equipment (HPLC-MS). A safer, easier method that measures the whole
rhamnolipid molecules would significantly enhance strain selection, metabolic engineering, and process development for economical
rhamnolipid production. A semi-quantitative method was reported earlier to differentiate between the rhamnolipid-producing
and non-producing strains using agar plates containing methylene blue and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). In this
study, a rapid and simple method for rhamnolipid analysis was developed by systematically investigating the complexation of
rhamnolipids and methylene blue, with and without the presence of CTAB. The method relies on measuring the absorbance (at
638 nm) of the rhamnolipid−methylene blue complex that partitions into the chloroform phase. With P. aeruginosa fermentation samples, the applicability of this method was verified by comparison of the analysis results with those obtained
from the commonly used anthrone reaction technique. 相似文献

Regulatory and metabolic network of rhamnolipid biosynthesis: Traditional and advanced engineering towards biotechnological production 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
During the last decade, the demand for economical and sustainable bioprocesses replacing petrochemical-derived products has
significantly increased. Rhamnolipids are interesting biosurfactants that might possess a broad industrial application range.
However, despite of 60 years of research in the area of rhamnolipid production, the economic feasibility of these glycolipids
is pending. Although the biosynthesis and regulatory network are in a big part known, the actual incidents on the cellular
and process level during bioreactor cultivation are not mastered. Traditional engineering by random and targeted genetic alteration,
process design, and recombinant strategies did not succeed by now. For enhanced process development, there is an urgent need
of in-depth information about the rhamnolipid production regulation during bioreactor cultivation to design knowledge-based
genetic and process engineering strategies. Rhamnolipids are structurally comparable, simple secondary metabolites and thus
have the potential to become instrumental in future secondary metabolite engineering by systems biotechnology. This review
summarizes current knowledge about the regulatory and metabolic network of rhamnolipid synthesis and discusses traditional
and advanced engineering strategies performed for rhamnolipid production improvement focusing on Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Finally, the opportunities of applying the systems biotechnology toolbox on the whole-cell biocatalyst and bioprocess level
for further rhamnolipid production optimization are discussed. 相似文献

Rhamnolipids are high‐value effective biosurfactants produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Large‐scale production of rhamnolipids is still challenging especially under free‐cell aerobic conditions in which the highly foaming nature of the culture broth reduces the productivity of the process. Immobilized systems relying on oxygen as electron acceptor have been previously investigated but oxygen transfer limitation presents difficulties for continuous rhamnolipid production. A coupled system using immobilized cells and nitrate instead of oxygen as electron acceptor taking advantage of the ability of P. aeruginosa to perform nitrate respiration was evaluated. This denitrification‐based immobilized approach based on a hollow‐fiber setup eliminated the transfer limitation problems and was found suitable for continuous rhamnolipid production in a period longer than 1,500 h. It completely eliminated the foaming difficulties related to aerobic systems with a comparable specific productivity of 0.017 g/(g dry cells)‐h and allowed easy recovery of rhamnolipids from the cell‐free medium. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces and secretes rhamnose-containing glycolipid biosurfactants called rhamnolipids. This review describes rhamnolipid
biosynthesis and potential industrial and environmental applications of rhamnolipids. Rhamnolipid production is dependent
on central metabolic pathways, such as fatty acid synthesis and dTDP-activated sugars, as well as on enzymes participating
in the production of the exopolysaccharide alginate. Synthesis of these surfactants is regulated by a very complex genetic
regulatory system that also controls different P. aeruginosa virulence-associated traits. Rhamnolipids have several potential industrial and environmental applications including the
production of fine chemicals, the characterization of surfaces and surface coatings, as additives for environmental remediation,
and as a biological control agent. Realization of this wide variety of applications requires economical commercial-scale production
of rhamnolipids.

Production of rhamnolipids by Pseudomonas aeruginosa 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces glycolipidic surface-active molecules (rhamnolipids) which have potential biotechnological applications. Rhamnolipids
are produced by P. aeruginosa in a concerted manner with different virulence-associated traits. Here, we review the rhamnolipids biosynthetic pathway,
showing that it has metabolic links with numerous bacterial products such as alginate, lipopolysaccharide, polyhydroxyalkanoates,
and 4-hydroxy-2-alkylquinolines (HAQs). We also discuss the factors controlling the production of rhamnolipids and the proposed
roles this biosurfactant plays in P. aeruginosa lifestyle. 相似文献

Biosurfactants could potentially replace or be used in conjunction with synthetic surfactants to provide for more cost-effective
subsurface remediation. The design of surfactant formulations that are effective in lowering interfacial tension (IFT), which
is necessary to mobilize entrapped hydrocarbons, requires information about the surface-active agent (surfactant) and the
targeted non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL). We hypothesized that biosurfactant and synthetic surfactant mixtures can be formulated
to provide the appropriate hydrophobic/hydrophilic conditions necessary to produce low IFT against NAPLs, and that such mixtures
will produce synergism that make them more effective than individual biosurfactants or synthetic surfactants. Our work tested
the interfacial activity of biosurfactants from individual strains and mixtures of biosurfactants from different strains with
and without a synthetic surfactant. Multiple regression analysis showed that, for lipopeptide biosurfactants produced by various
Bacillus species, the interfacial activity against toluene depended on the relative proportions of 3-OH-C14, C15, C16, and C18 in the fatty acid tail. As the fatty acid composition became more heterogeneous the system produced lower IFT against toluene.
In mixtures of lipopeptide biosurfactants with the more hydrophilic, rhamnolipid biosurfactant, the IFT against toluene decreased
as the percentage of the 3-OH C14 fatty acid increased in the lipopeptide. Mixtures of lipopeptide biosurfactants with the more hydrophobic synthetic surfactant,
C12, C13-8PO SO4Na, were able to produce low IFT against hexane and decane. In general, we found that lipopeptide biosurfactants with a heterogeneous
fatty acid composition or mixtures of lipopeptide and rhamnolipid biosurfactants lowered the IFT against hydrophilic NAPLs.
Conversely, mixtures of lipopeptide biosurfactants with a more hydrophobic synthetic surfactant lowered the IFT against hydrophobic
NAPLs. 相似文献

Besides potential surface activity and some beneficial physical properties, biosurfactants express antibacterial activity. Bacterial cell membrane disrupting ability of rhamnolipid produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa C2 and a lipopeptide type biosurfactant, BS15 produced by Bacillus stratosphericus A15 was examined against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Escherichia coli K8813. Broth dilution technique was followed to examine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of both the biosurfactants. The combined effect of rhamnolipid and BS15 against S. aureus and E. coli showed synergistic activity by expressing fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index of 0.43 and 0.5. Survival curve of both the bacteria showed bactericidal activity after treating with biosurfactants at their MIC obtained from FIC index study as it killed > 90% of initial population. The lesser value of MIC than minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the biosurfactants also supported their bactericidal activity against both the bacteria. Membrane permeability against both the bacteria was supported by amplifying protein release, increasing of cell surface hydrophobicity, withholding capacity of crystal violet dye and leakage of intracellular materials. Finally cell membrane disruption was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). All these experiments expressed synergism and effective bactericidal activity of the combination of rhamnolipid and BS15 by enhancing the bacterial cell membrane permeability. Such effect of the combination of rhamnolipid and BS15 could make them promising alternatives to traditional antibiotic in near future. 相似文献

The evolution of host–parasite interactions could be affected by intraspecies variation between different host and parasite genotypes. Here we studied how bacterial host cell‐to‐cell signaling affects the interaction with parasites using two bacteria‐specific viruses (bacteriophages) and the host bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa that communicates by secreting and responding to quorum sensing (QS) signal molecules. We found that a QS‐signaling proficient strain was able to evolve higher levels of resistance to phages during a short‐term selection experiment. This was unlikely driven by demographic effects (mutation supply and encounter rates), as nonsignaling strains reached higher population densities in the absence of phages in our selective environment. Instead, the evolved nonsignaling strains suffered relatively higher growth reduction in the absence of the phage, which could have constrained the phage resistance evolution. Complementation experiments with synthetic signal molecules showed that the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) improved the growth of nonsignaling bacteria in the presence of a phage, while the activation of las and rhl quorum sensing systems had no effect. Together, these results suggest that QS‐signaling can promote the evolution of phage resistance and that the loss of QS‐signaling could be costly in the presence of phages. Phage–bacteria interactions could therefore indirectly shape the evolution of intraspecies social interactions and PQS‐mediated virulence in P. aeruginosa. 相似文献

A new bacterial strain isolated from activated sludge, identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa EMS1, produced a biosurfactant when grown on acidified soybean oil as the sole carbon source. An optimum biosurfactant production of 5 g/L was obtained with the following medium composition: 2% acidified soybean oil, 0.3% NH4NO3, 0.03% KH2PO4, 0.03% K2HPO4, 0.02% MgSO4.7H2O and 0.025% CaCl2.2H2O, with shaking at 200 rpm for an incubation period of 100 h at 30 degrees C. The production of the biosurfactant was found to be a function of cell growth, with maximum production occurring during the exponential phase. Hemolysis of erythrocytes and thin-layer chromatography studies revealed that the secreted biosurfactant was rhamnolipid. To overcome the complex environmental regulation with respect to rhamnolipid biosynthesis, and to replace the opportunistic pathogen P. aeruginosa with a safe industrial strain, attempts were made to achieve rhamnolipid production in a heterologous host, Pseudomonas putida, using molecular cloning of rhlAB rhamnosyltransferase genes with the rhlRI quorum sensing system, assuming that a functional rhamnosyltransferase would catalyze the formation of rhamnosyl-6-hydroxydecanoyl-6-hydroxydecanoate (mono-rhamnolipid) in P. putida. It was shown that rhamnolipid can be produced in the heterologous strain, P. putida, when provided with the rhamnosyltransferase genes. 相似文献

Rhamnolipid biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas nitroreducens isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil was investigated. The effects of carbon, nitrogen and carbon to nitrogen ratio
on biosurfactant production were examined using mineral salts medium as the growth medium. The tenso-active properties (surface
activity and critical micelle concentrations of the produced biosurfactant were also evaluated. The best carbon source, nitrogen
source were glucose and sodium nitrate giving rhamnolipid yields of 5.28 and 4.38 g l−1, respectively. The maximum rhamnolipid production of 5.46 g l−1 was at C/N (glucose/sodium nitrate) of 22. The rhamnolipid biosurfactant reduced the surface tension of water from 72 to
~37 mN/m. It also has critical micelle concentration of ~28 mg l−1. Thus, the results presented in our reports show that the produced rhamnolipid can find wide applications in various bioremediation
activities such as enhanced oil recovery and petroleum degradation. 相似文献

The effect of surfactants on pyrene degradation in Pseudomonas fluorescens 29L was investigated. This strain produced 30.1 μM of rhamnolipid equivalents (RE) of biosurfactants on 50 mg of pyrene per
liter of medium. The production of biosurfactants was significantly correlated with the water solubility (S
w) of the substrate and the growth rate on it. When chrysene, with a S
w of 2.8 × 10−3 mg per liter of water, was the carbon source, 13.1 μM of RE of biosurfactants were produced compared to 10.3 μM of RE of
biosurfactants on acenaphthene with a S
w of 1.9 mg per liter of water. No biosurfactants were produced on salicylic acid, catechol, and citrate. All of the strain
29L mutants which grew on pyrene produced biosurfactants while among the mutants which grew on naphthalene, only 88.4% produced
biosurfactants. The rhamnolipid mixture, JBR425, inhibited the growth of Strain 29L wild type (WT) and all of its mutants
on pyrene. However, these mutants were able to grow in the presence of pyrene when the growth medium was supplemented with
10−6 mg of emulsan per milliliter of medium. This study implies biosurfactants are produced by Strain 29L as a physiological response
to the hydrophobicity of pyrene. The combined use of indigenous biosurfactants and the added biosurfactant, emulsan, is a
biotechnology to enhance pyrene degradation by Pseudomonas fluorescens 29L. 相似文献

Little is known about the interaction of biosurfactants with bacterial cells. Recent work in the area of biodegradation suggests that there are two mechanisms by which biosurfactants enhance the biodegradation of slightly soluble organic compounds. First, biosurfactants can solubilize hydrophobic compounds within micelle structures, effectively increasing the apparent aqueous solubility of the organic compound and its availability for uptake by a cell. Second, biosurfactants can cause the cell surface to become more hydrophobic, thereby increasing the association of the cell with the slightly soluble substrate. Since the second mechanism requires very low levels of added biosurfactant, it is the more intriguing of the two mechanisms from the perspective of enhancing the biodegradation process. This is because, in practical terms, addition of low levels of biosurfactants will be more cost-effective for bioremediation. To successfully optimize the use of biosurfactants in the bioremediation process, their effect on cell surfaces must be understood. We report here that rhamnolipid biosurfactant causes the cell surface of Pseudomonas spp. to become hydrophobic through release of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In this study, two Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were grown on glucose and hexadecane to investigate the chemical and structural changes that occur in the presence of a rhamnolipid biosurfactant. Results showed that rhamnolipids caused an overall loss in cellular fatty acid content. Loss of fatty acids was due to release of LPS from the outer membrane, as demonstrated by 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonic acid and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis and further confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. The amount of LPS loss was found to be dependent on rhamnolipid concentration, but significant loss occurred even at concentrations less than the critical micelle concentration. We conclude that rhamnolipid-induced LPS release is the probable mechanism of enhanced cell surface hydrophobicity. 相似文献

Many unicellular microorganisms use small signaling molecules to determine their local concentration. The processes involved
in the production and recognition of these signals are collectively known as quorum sensing (QS). This form of cell–cell communication
is used by unicellular microorganisms to co-ordinate their activities, which allows them to function as multi-cellular systems.
Recently, several groups have demonstrated artificial intra-species and inter-species communication through synthetic circuits
which incorporate components of bacterial QS systems. Engineered QS-based circuits have a wide range of applications such
as production of biochemicals, tissue engineering, and mixed-species fermentations. They are also highly useful in designing
microbial biosensors to identify bacterial species present in the environment and within living organisms. In this review,
we first provide an overview of bacterial QS systems and the mechanisms developed by bacteria and higher organisms to obstruct
QS communications. Next, we describe the different ways in which researchers have designed QS-based circuits and their applications
in biotechnology. Finally, disruption of quorum sensing is discussed as a viable strategy for preventing the formation of
harmful biofilms in membrane bioreactors and marine transportation. 相似文献

In the present study, secondary metabolites from an endophytic fungus, Alternaria alternata, colonizing Carica papaya, demonstrated antiquorum sensing properties against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This study reports the antagonistic effects of fungal crude extract of A. alternata against the various quorum sensing (QS) associated virulent factors such as percentage decrease in production of pyocyanin, alginate, chitinase and rhamnolipid; significant decrease in proteases activity such as LasA protease activity, staphylolytic activity, Las B elastase; and a marked decrease in biofilm formation and associated factors such as exopolysaccharide (EPS) production and cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH). Further, motility pattern i.e., swimming and swarming was also found to be inhibited. This down regulation of QS and associated factors are further supported by in-silico analysis of interaction between QS receptor LasR and bioactive molecules viz., sulfurous acid, 2-propyl tridecyl ester and 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, bis(2-methylpropyl) ester present in fungal crude extract, found based on GCMS analysis, sketches the modulating ability of QS expression. This is the first report on an endophytic fungus of C. papaya having a role in QS inhibition against P. aeruginosa and lays a platform to explore further the endophytes for potent therapeutic agents in QS. 相似文献

Summary A rapid method, ’drop-collapse’, was used for screening biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Candida albicans and Phanerochaete chrysosporium liquid cultures. Before measuring the total biosurfactant, the drop-collapse method was used in order to detect rhamnolipid
presence in the culture broths. The method was performed in a microwell plate; the polystyrene platform with small wells.
If the culture broth contained biosurfactant, the droplets of the broth in the oil-coated wells collapsed. If not, there was
no change in the shape of the droplets. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis culture supernatants showed spreading movement, meaning that they produced biosurfactants. However, Candida albicans and Phanerochaete chrysosporium supernatants remained beaded, meaning they did not produce any type of microbial surfactant. 相似文献

The production of rhamnolipid biosurfactants by Pseudomonas aeruginosa is under complex control of a quorum sensing-dependent regulatory network. Due to a lack of understanding of the kinetics applicable to the process and relevant interrelations of variables, current processes for rhamnolipid production are based on heuristic approaches. To systematically establish a knowledge-based process for rhamnolipid production, a deeper understanding of the time-course and coupling of process variables is required. By combining reaction kinetics, stoichiometry, and experimental data, a process model for rhamnolipid production with P. aeruginosa PAO1 on sunflower oil was developed as a system of coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs). In addition, cell density-based quorum sensing dynamics were included in the model. The model comprises a total of 36 parameters, 14 of which are yield coefficients and 7 of which are substrate affinity and inhibition constants. Of all 36 parameters, 30 were derived from dedicated experimental results, literature, and databases and 6 of them were used as fitting parameters. The model is able to describe data on biomass growth, substrates, and products obtained from a reference batch process and other validation scenarios. The model presented describes the time-course and interrelation of biomass, relevant substrates, and products on a process level while including a kinetic representation of cell density-dependent regulatory mechanisms. 相似文献

Streptomyces are important industrial bacteria that produce pharmaceutically valuable polyketides. However, mass production on an industrial scale is limited by low productivity, which can be overcome through metabolic engineering and the synthetic biology of the host strain. Recently, the introduction of an auto-inducible expression system depending on microbial physiological state has been suggested as an important tool for the industrial-scale production of polyketides. In this study, titer improvement by enhancing the pool of CoA-derived precursors required for polyketide production was driven in a quorum sensing (QS)-dependent manner. A self-sustaining and inducer-independent regulatory system, named the QS-based metabolic engineering of precursor pool (QMP) system, was constructed, wherein the expression of genes involved in precursor biosynthesis was regulated by the QS-responsive promoter, scbAp. The QMP system was applied for neoaureothin production in a heterologous host, Streptomyces coelicolor M1152, and productivity increased by up to 4-fold. In particular, the engineered hyperproducers produced high levels of neoaureothin without adversely affecting cell growth. Overall, this study showed that self-regulated metabolic engineering mediated by QS has the potential to engineer strains for polyketide titer improvement. 相似文献
