Polyacrylamide-disc gel electrophoresis and quantitative enzyme assays showed that the pathways of glucose catabolism and secondary metabolism in Penicillium expansum were dependent on the degree of aeration of the cultures. The isoenzyme patterns and specific activities of aldolase and succinate dehydrogenase indicated that glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle operated under conditions of both limited and efficient aeration (i.e. in cultures grown statically or on an orbital shaker). At high levels of aeration the growth rate was faster and synthesis of extracellular pectolytic enzymes was enhanced, whilst the activities of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase showed that the pentose-phosphate shunt was important in glucose catabolism during the trophophase of growth. In contrast, under conditions of low aeration this latter pathway was virtually undetectable, growth was slower, pectolytic enzyme production low and large concentrations of secondary metabolites (6-methylsalicylic acid, patulin and citrinin) accumulated. 相似文献

The biochemical changes occurring during microcycle sporogenesis of T in glucose enriched Mackechnie and Hanson medium(1) was studied by using alpha picolinic acid and ethyl picolinate. Alpha picolinic acid inhibited microcycle sporogenesis by chelating with some metal essential for the transition of a vegetative cell to a sporulating cell probably by suppressing aconitase. The mode of action of ethyl picolinate did not seem to be metal chelation as its effects could not be reversed by zinc sulphate. 相似文献

A broth medium containing tryptone and manganese sulfate supported heavy sporulation of Bacillus stearothermophilus ATCC 7953 (NCA 1518) and four isolates identified as B. stearothermophilus. Maximal spore yields were obtained by use of inocula grown anaerobically in a medium containing glucose with aeration of sporulation medium via bubbling. After an extended stationary period, sporulation occurred concurrently with vegetative growth between 6 and 8 hr of incubation at 60 C. Omission of glucose from the inoculum or use of a “young” (2 hr) inoculum abolished the stationary period, but decreased spore yields. A requirement of oxygen for rapid vegetative growth and sporulation was demonstrated. Manganese (15 to 30 ppm) stimulated sporulation but did not enhance cell growth. 相似文献

Spores of Bacillus megaterium QM B1551 germinated, elongated, and resporulated (microcycle sporogenesis) in simple chemically defined media which permitted no cell division. The second-stage spores thus produced were heat-stable and required heat activation for germination. The original amount of spore deoxyribonucleic acid tripled before completion of the cycle. Acetate and a small amount of a tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediate were the minimal organic metabolic requirements for microcycle sporogenesis. During this cycle, germinated cells oxidized acetate only after a delay, whether or not glucose was initially present. Spores that were germinated in the absence of a carbon source first oxidized an endogenous substrate, and then developed the ability to oxidize acetate. 相似文献

Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis MG1363 was grown in batch cultures on a defined medium with glucose as the energy source under different aeration conditions, namely, anaerobic conditions, aerobic conditions, and microaerobic conditions with a dissolved oxygen tension of 5% (when saturation with air was used as the reference). The maximum specific growth rate was high (0.78 to 0.91 h(-1)) under all aeration conditions but decreased with increasing aeration, and more than 90% of the glucose was converted to lactate. However, a shift in by-product formation was observed. Increasing aeration resulted in acetate, CO(2), and acetoin replacing formate and ethanol as end products. Under microaerobic conditions, growth came to a gradual halt, although more than 60% of the glucose was still left. A decline in growth was not observed during microaerobic cultivation when acetate was added to the medium. We hypothesize that the decline in growth was due to a lack of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) needed for fatty acid synthesis since acetyl-CoA can be synthesized from acetate by means of acetate kinase and phosphotransacetylase activities. 相似文献

The mutant strainClaviceps purpurea 244 forming hyphae composed mainly from sclerotiumlike cells was found to sporulate both in liquid and solid media, particularly
in the form of terminal chlamydospores (4.0 × 6.5 μm). Chlamydospores produced during submerged cultivation germinated, new
chlamydospores being formed directly from germ tubes, or, occasionally, conidia (the so-called microcycle) or new vegetative
mycelium were formed. The ultrastructures of the chlamydospores and vegetative cells was identical. The cytoplasm was filled
with ribosomes and contained lipid inclusions and vacuoles with membrane invaginations. Strain 244 cultivated under submerged
conditions produced 150 μg/ml clavins, with elymoclavin predominating (82 %). The parent strainClaviceps purpurea 129 only produced chlamydospores on the vegetative mycelium, whereas no microcycle was detected; under submerged conditions
it produced mainly agroclavin (85 %) at a concentration of 4 mg/ml. 相似文献

A new microcycle microconidiating strain (mcm) ofNeurospora crassa was derived by successive backcrosses of a soil isolate to a laboratory wild-type strain. Surface grown cultures show normal wild-type vegetative morphology. However, under continuous agitation in liquid cultures at 22°C, macroconidial germlings bypass the usual mycelial phase and produce abundant numbers of uninucleate microconidia within 24 h. Temperature and culture media affect the production of microconidia. 相似文献

Germination of glycerol-prepared microcysts of Myxococcus xanthus was studied. The sequence of morphological events during germination resembled that of germinating fruiting body-microcysts. The turbidity drop of a culture of germinating microcysts could be described by McCormick's formula derived for germinating Bacillus spores. The rate of uptake of labeled glycine and acetate did not change during germination. Temperature, aeration, and pH optima for germination were the same as for vegetative cell growth. Germination was induced by protein hydrolysates and the individual amino acids glycine, alanine, valine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid. A number of organic compounds, including sugars, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, organic acids, and chelating agents, did not induce germination. The inorganic ions HPO(4) (2-), Mg(++), Ca(++), and NH(4) (+) induced germination, although ionic strength was not a factor. Microcysts incubated in distilled water at concentrations greater than about 10(9) cells/ml germinated; supernatant fluid from such suspensions (germination factor) induced germination of less concentrated suspensions. The activity of germination factor was resistant to boiling, but was lost on charring and dialysis. Germination of microcysts and growth of vegetative cells was equally sensitive to a variety of metabolic inhibitors, including penicillin and chloramphenicol. Germination was more resistant than vegetative growth to inhibition by antibiotics of the streptomycin family and by actinomycin D. 相似文献

The factors affecting the production of a Thermomonospora fusca endoglucanase by a recombinant Streptomyces lividans strain were studied in a fermentor with glucose addition controlled by a pH-stat. The recombinant plasmid was stable for 35 generations with constant endoglucanase productivity. Glucose and peptone were used as the carbon and nitrogen sources. Addition of Tween-80 increased endoglucanase production twofold. A significant decrease in endoglucanase production was observed at low aeration. During fed-batch cultivation, pulse feeding (6 g/L) of a glucose-ammonium sulfate solution was optimal for endoglucanase production. With higher concentrations of glucose (15 g/L), a significant amount of organic acid, including acetic acid, was produced, which inhibited cell growth and endoglucanase production. Under optimum conditions, 1.7 U/mL of endoglucanase were produced. Copyright 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

The conditions necessary for the production of fumaric acid in 20-liter fermentors by fermentation of glucose with Rhizopus arrhizus strain NRRL 2582 were determined. Continuous neutralization of fumaric acid was necessary for optimal yields. Yields of the calcium salt were in excess of 65 g of fumaric acid from 100 g of sugar consumed during fermentation of sugar concentrations of 10 to 16%. Conditions established for calcium fumarate production include a simple mineral salts medium, 0.5 v:v:min aeration rate, 300 rev/min agitation rate in a baffled tank, 33 C incubation temperature, CaCO(3) to neutralize the acid formed, and a 4 to 5% (v/v) vegetative inoculum. A suitable procedure and medium for the preparation of a vigorous vegetative inoculum were established. The tendency for calcium fumarate fermentations to foam excessively was controlled with a proper antifoam agent added prior to sterilization of the medium and again at daily intervals during fermentation. The production of soluble sodium or potassium fumarates was inhibited when the concentration of fumarates reached 3.5 to 4.0%. No means of overcoming this inhibition was found. Starches and certain other grain-derived carbohydrates were fermented to form calcium fumarate in flask experiments with approximately the same efficiency as was glucose. 相似文献

The yield from glucose of ammonia-grown carbon-limited continuous cultures of Penicillium stipitatum was ca. 20% higher than that of nitrate-grown cultures at all growth rates examined. However, the yield from oxygen was similar during growth on both nitrogen sources. Under phosphate limitation the specific rate of gluconic acid and stipitatic acid production increased with growth rate, but the former product accounted for virtually 100% of the excreted carbon. Stipitatic acid was not produced under nitrogen limitation, and glucose supplied to the culture in excess of that required for growth was virtually quantatively converted into gluconic acid. Productivities of 11.4 g gluconic acid/L/h were stably maintained in continuous culture. Under conditions of glucose excess the enzyme glucose oxidase was excreted into the culture. The specific activity of this extracellular enzyme increased when the input glucose concentration to the culture was progressively increased. The excretion of a protein under nitrogen limitation suggests that this enzyme plays an important role under these conditions. Indeed, it was demonstrated that nitrogen-limited cultures did not overmetabolize gluconate at either pH 6.5 or 3.5, although up to 29 g/L gluconate was present in the culture. The Y(gluconate) and YO(2) of C- and N-limited gluconate-grown cultures were similar indicating that the rapid conversion of glucose to gluconate probably affords a means of regulating carbon flow in this organism. Nitrogen-limited cultures of P. stipitatum overmetabolized glucose to a much greater extent than acetate, fructose, or gluconate. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate carbon flux in Azotobacter vinelandii using metabolic flux analysis (MFA) under high and low aeration conditions to achieve an improved understanding of how these changes could be related to alginate acetylation and PHB production. Changes in oxygen availability had a considerable impact on the metabolic fluxes and were reflected in the growth rate, the specific glucose consumption rate, and the alginate and PHB yields. The main differences at the metabolic flux level were observed in three important pathways. The first important difference was consistent with respiratory protection; an increase in the flux generated through the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle for cultures grown under high aeration conditions (up to 2.61 times higher) was observed. In the second important difference, the fluxes generated through pyruvate dehydrogenase, phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase and pyruvate kinase, all of which are involved in acetyl-CoA metabolism, increased by 10, 43.9 and 17.5%, respectively, in cultures grown under low aeration conditions compared with those grown under high aeration conditions. These changes were related to alginate acetylation, which was 2.6 times higher in the cultures with limited oxygen, and the changes were also related to a drastic increase in PHB production. Finally, the glyoxylate shunt was active under both of the conditions that were tested, and a 2.79-fold increase was observed in cultures that were grown under the low aeration condition. 相似文献

The growth parameters (Xmax, Y, mu) of Escherichia coli batch cultures were studied when a substrate was added under different aeration conditions. If the pH was not adjusted, the bacterial growth stopped at pH 4.5 under the aerobic conditions or at pH 5.8 under the anaerobic conditions. When the pH 7.0 was constantly maintained, the accumulation of acid products in the aerobic culture was 3 times as high as in the anaerobic culture by the time the growth ceased. The anaerobic culture resumed its growth upon aeration. A hypothesis is proposed to explain the data. 相似文献

Growth of cultures ofLactobacillus casei ATCC 7469 without pH control under aerobic conditions resulted in very low maximum specific growth rates (0.19 hr−1), exponential glucose utilization rates (0.10 log units/hr/ml of culture) and exponential lactate production rates (0.17
log units/hr/ml of culture), compared to anaerobic cultures. In anaerobic cultures glucose was converted stoichiometrically
to lactate but in aerobic cultures this was never observed. It was found that aeration affects both the rate at which glucose
is converted to lactate and the stoichiometry of this conversion. The investigation of a number of glucose-metabolizing enzymes
suggests that an oxidative pathway for glucose breakdown becomes operative under aerated conditions.

Azotobacter salinestris, a sodium-dependent, microaerophilic N2-fixing soil bacterium, formed polyhydroxyalkanoate copolymers comprised of β-hydroxybutyric acid and 9–12 mol% β-hydroxyvaleric
acid (HV) during growth on sugars. Increased HV content was achieved by feeding valeric acid to the culture growing on glucose,
but propionic acid could be directed to HV formation only when it served as the sole C source. Polymer production in nitrogen-fixing
cells was increased at higher aeration, provided that a complex organic nitrogen source was also present, but there was no
HV in the polymer. HV production was increased to 28 mol% in nitrogen-fixing cells when aeration was lower and acetate was
provided with glucose in the medium. Enzymes leading to the production of polyhydroxyalkanoate copolymers were found to be
similar in A. salinestris and Azotobacter vinelandii, but A. vinelandii is unable to form HV from propionate or from sugars without valeric acid addition. A biochemical scheme is proposed for the
production of HV in A. salinestris, whereby the glyoxylate bypass assimilates acetate to generate succinate, which may be converted into propionyl-CoA for HV
synthesis. The results suggest that it may be possible to control the molar yield of HV formed from sugars by A. salinestris.

Transition of chemolithotrophic Ferrobacillus ferrooxidans to organotrophy occurred after 60 hr of incubation in an organic medium. Three distinct phases, based on metabolic activities of cells, were observed during the course of transition. Conversion of cellular nutrition to organotrophy resulted in a gradual loss of Fe(2+) oxidation and cessation of CO(2) fixation. These changes were concomitant with a rapid increase in uptake of glucose and phosphate during the latter part of transition period. The outcome of transition was governed by the pH of the medium, temperature of incubation, availability of oxygen, age of the chemolithotrophic cells, and the type of energy and carbon source available to the bacterium. Presence or absence of p-aminobenzoic acid and Fe(2+) ions did not influence transition of cells. A defined medium containing glucose, mineral salts, and p-aminobenzoic acid at pH 2.5 was found to be most suitable for transition and for culture of heterotrophic convertants. Maximum growth rate of the heterotrophic cells was attained with vigorous aeration at 35 C. The bacterium could be cultured on a variety of organic compounds, including complex organic media, provided they were used in low concentrations. Serological studies on autotrophic cells and the heterotrophic convertant have shown a definite antigenic relationship between the two cell types. 相似文献

An investigation was carried out to examine the effect of aerationon the growth of Catharanthus roseus suspension cultures inairlift bioreactors. A high aeration rate (0·86 v.v.m.)was found to inhibit the growth of cultures. Venting culturesat a high rate with low oxygen content gas mixtures was equallyinhibitory to culture growth, showing that high aeration wasnot inhibitory as a result of oxygen toxicity. The dissolvedcarbon dioxide tension was found to be lower in cultures operatedat high aeration than those operated at low aeration. Supplyingexogenous CO2 to cultures at high aeration restored the CO2tension to values normally encountered at a low aeration rate,and was found to alleviate the inhibitory effects at high aeration.However, further increasing the CO2 supply to cultures was foundto be severely inhibitory to growth. Therefore, the growth ofC. roseus cultures is very sensitive to dissolved CO2 concentration,growth being inhibited at values either higher or lower thanan optimum.

Gluconobacter suboxydans IFO 3290 was immobilized by adsorption on ceramic honeycomb monolith and continuous production of free gluconic acid from glucose was performed in an aerated reactor. The effects of reactor residence time, aeration rate, and glucose concentration were investigated on the gluconic acid yield. Observation of SEM photographs revealed that the cells were adsorbed with a high density not only on the outer surface of the support but also on the inner surface of large pores. From measurement of the number of the adsorbed cells, it was elucidated that the biofilm comprised a monolayer or bilayer of the cells. Maximum specific rate of growth was estimated for the free and adsorbed cells, and the adsorbed cells were found to grow at a fast rate compared with the free cells. In the continuous fermentation performed for one month at the glucose concentration of 100 kg/m(3), reactor residence time of 3.5 h and aeration rate of 900 cm(3)/min, the activity of the adsorbed cells was appreciably stable. The high productivity of 26.3 kg/(m(3)-reactor . h) was attained with the gluconic acid yield of 84.6% and glucose conversion of 94%. 相似文献

Growth and polymer synthesis were studied in a recombinant E. coli strain carrying phaBAC and phaP of Azotobacter sp. strain FA8 using different carbon sources and oxygen availability conditions. The results obtained with glucose or glycerol were completely different, demonstrating that the metabolic routes leading to the synthesis of the polymer when using glycerol do not respond to environmental conditions such as oxygen availability in the same way as they do when other substrates, such as glucose, are used. When cells were grown in a bioreactor using glucose the amount of polymer accumulated at low aeration was reduced by half when compared to high aeration, while glycerol cultures produced at low aeration almost twice the amount of polymer synthesized at the higher aeration condition. The synthesis of other metabolic products, such as ethanol, lactate, formate and acetate, were also affected by both the carbon source used and aeration conditions. In glucose cultures, lactate and formate production increased in low agitation compared to high agitation, while poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) synthesis decreased. In glycerol cultures, the amount of acids produced also increased when agitation was lowered, but carbon flow was mostly redirected towards ethanol and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate). These results indicated that carbon partitioning differed depending on both carbon source and oxygen availability, and that aeration conditions had different effects on the synthesis of the polymer and other metabolic products when glucose or glycerol were used. 相似文献
