Production of -amylase by a strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was investigated in a cell recycle bioreactor incorporating a membrane filtration module for cell separation. Experimental fermentation studies with the B. amyloliquefaciens strain WA-4 clearly showed that incorporating cell recycling increased -amylase yield and volumetric productivity as compared to conventional continuous fermentation. The effect of operating conditions on -amylase production was difficult to demonstrate experimentally due to the problems of keeping the permeate and bleed rates constant over an extended period of time. Computer simulations were therefore undertaken to support the experimental data, as well as to elucidate the dynamics of -amylase production in the cell recycle bioreactor as compared to conventional chemostat and batch fermentations. Taken together, the simulations and experiments clearly showed that low bleed rate (high recycling ratio) various a high level of -amylase activity. The simulated fermentations revealed that this was especially pronounced at high recycling ratios. Volumetric productivity was maximum at a dilution rate of around 0.4 h–1 and a high recycling ratio. The latter had to exceed 0.75 before volumetric productivity was significantly greater than with conventional chemostat fermentation.List of Symbols a proportionality constant relating the specific growth rate to the logarithm of G (h) - a 1 reaction order with respect to starch concentration - a 2 reaction order with respect to glucose concentration - B bleed rate (h–1) - C starch concentration (g/l) - C 0 starch concentration in the feed (g/l) - D dilution rate (h–1) - D E volumetric productivity (KNU/(mlh)) - e intracellular -amylase concentration (g/g cell mass) - E extracellular -amylase concentration (KNU/ml) - F volumetric flow rate (l/h) - G average number of genome equivalents of DNA per cell - k l intracellular equilibrium constant - k 2 intracellular equilibrium constant - k s Monod saturation constant (g/l) - k 3 excretion rate constant (h–1) - k d first order decay constant (h–1) - k gl rate constant for glucose production - k st rate constant for starch hydrolysis - k t1 proportionality constant for -amylase production (gmRNA/g substrate) - k 1 translation constant (g/(g mRNAh)) - KNU kilo Novo unit - m maintenance coefficient (g substrate/(g cell massh)) - n number of binding sites for the co-repressor on the cytoplasmic repressor - Q repression function K1/K2Q1.0 - R ratio of recycling - R s rate of glucose production (g/lh) - r c rate of starch hydrolysis (g/(lh)) - R eX retention by the filter of the compounds X: starch or -amylase - r intracellular -amylase mRNA concentration (g/g cell mass) - r C volumetric productivity of starch (g/lh) - r E volumetric productivity of intracellular -amylase (KNU/(g cell massh)) - r r volumetric productivity of intracellular mRNA (g/(g cell massh)) - r e volumetric productivity of extracellular -amylase (KNU/(mlh)) - r s volumetric productivity of glucose (g/(lh)) - r X volumetric productivity of cell mass (g/(lh)) - S 0 free reducing sugar concentration in the feed (g/l) - S extracellular concentration of reducing sugar (g/1) - t time (h) - V volume (l) - X cell mass concentration (g/l) - Y yield coefficient (g cell mass/g substrate) - Y E/S yield coefficient (KNU -amylase/g substrate) - Y E total amount of -amylase produced (KNU) - substrate uptake (g substrate/(g cell massh)) - specific growth rate of cell mass (h–1) - d specific death rate of cells (h–1) - m maximum specific growth rate of cell mass (h–1) This study was supported by Bioprocess Engineering Programme of the Nordic Industrial Foundation and the Center for Process Biotechnology, the Technical University of Denmark.  相似文献

Summary In a continuous culture of Bacillus caldolyticus strain SP, which requires maltose as an inducer for production of -amylase in batch culture, a predominant mutant strain M1 which produced high amounts of -amylase in the absence of maltose in batch culture, developed. The change of cell population from strain SP to strain M1 in maltose-casitone medium was linear with time in the transient state after the change from batch to continuous culture at a dilution rate of 0.17 h-1, and was completed in about 11 generations of bacterial growth. The dilution rate effect of continuous culture on -amylase activity was almost the same with both strains SP and M1. The maximum -amylase activity of 380 units/ml was observed at an intermediate dilution rate that was 11.5 times higher than -amylase activity at the end of a batch culture using the same medium. It was deduced that the enhancement of -amylase production in continuous culture was attributed partly to the predominant growth of a mutant strain with higher -amylase productivity.  相似文献

The cultivation of the hyperthermophilic archaeobacterium Pyrococcus woesei on starch under continuous gassing (80% H2:20% CO2) caused the formation of 250 U/l of an extremely thermoactive and thermostable -amylase. In a complex medium without elemental sulphur under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 atmosphere enzyme production could be elevated up to 1000 U/l. Pyrococcus woesei grew preferentially on poly-and oligosaccharides. The amylolytic enzyme formation was constitutive. Enzyme production was also observed in continuous culture at dilution rates from 0.1 to 0.4 h-1. A 20-fold enrichment of -amylase was achieved after adsorption of the enzyme onto starch and its desorption by preparative gel electrophoresis. The -amylase consisted of a single subunit with a molecular mass of 70 000 and was catalytically active at a temperature range between 40°C and 130°C. Enzymatic activity was detected even after autoclaving at a pressure of 2 bars at 120°C for 5 h. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed exclusively -1,4-glycosidic linkages present in glucose polymers of various sizes. Unlike many -amylases from anaerobes the enzyme from P. woesei was unable to attack short chain oligosaccharides with a chain length between 2 and 6 glucose units.  相似文献

Summary An extracellular -amylase was purified to homogeneity from the culture supernatant ofClostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 grown in synthetic medium containing starch by using a combination of ammonium sulfate fractionation, anion exchange chromatography and HPLC-gel filtration. The molecular weight of the 160-fold purified -amylase was determined by SDS-PAGE to be 61 kDa. HPLC analysis of end-products of enzyme activity on various substrates indicated that the enzyme acted specifically in an endo-fashion on the -1,4-glucosidic linkages. Enzyme activity was optimal over a pH range of 4.5–5.0 and temperature of 55°C, but was rapidly inactivated at higher temperatures. Addition of calcium chloride (2–5 mM) increased -amylase activity by ca. 20%, while the addition of 19 g ml–1 of acarbose (a differential inhibitor of amylases) resulted in 50% inhibition. TheV max andK m of -amylase were 2.17 mg min–1 and 3.28 mg ml–1 on amylose, and 1.67 mg min–1 and 1.73 mg ml–1 on soluble starch, respectively.  相似文献

Summary A recombinantEscherichia coli, grown in continuous culture, expressed aBacillus stearothermophilus -amylase at 100-fold higher activities than theB. stearothermophilus itself. Excretion of the -amylase to the supernatant was shown and found to be independent of the growth rate of the organism. Eleven to eighteen percent of the -amylase was found in the supernatant. Dilution rates, or cell growth rates, ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 hours–1 were shown not to affect the compartmentation of the amylase and -galactosidase.  相似文献

Variation of seed -amylase inhibitors was investigated in 1 154 cultivated and 726 non-cultivated (wild and weedy) accessions of the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L. Four -amylase inhibitor types were recognized based on the inhibtion by seed extracts of the activities of porcine pancreatic -amylase and larval -amylase and larval -amylase of the Mexican bean weevil, Zabrotes subfasciatus Boheman. Of the 1 880 accessions examined most (1 734) were able to inhibit porcine pancreatic -amylase activity, but were inactive against the Z. subfasciatus larval -amylase; 41 inhibited only the larval -amylase activity, 52 inhibited the activities of the two -amylases, and 53 did not inhibit the activity of either of the -amylases. The four different inhibitor types were designated as AI-1, AI2, AI-3, and AI-0, respectively. These four inhibitor types were identified by the banding patterns of seed glycoproteins in the range of 14–20 kDa by using SDSpolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Additionally, four different banding patterns were recognized in accessions with AI-1, and were designated as AI-1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d. Two different patterns of the accessions lacking an -amylase inhibitory activity were identified and designated as AI-0a and AI-0b. The largest diversity for seed -amylase inhibitors was observed in non-cultivated accessions collected from Mexico where all eight inhibitor types were detected. The possible relationships between the variation of seed -amylase inhibitors and bruchid resistance are discussed.  相似文献

The involvement of the endomenbrane system of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) aleurone cells in the secretion of gibberellin-induced hydrolases has been investigated at the biochemical level. Our results show that at least 40–60% of the -amylase activity in homogenates of aleurone layers occurs in a membrane-bound, latent form. The latent -amylase can be assayed quantitatively following disruption of membranes by treatment with Triton X-100, ethanol, sonication, or osmotic shock and shear. The association of -amylase with the membrane is not an artifact arising from homogenization of the tissue, and acid protease is also enriched in the same subcellular fraction as the -amylase. The membrane fraction with which the -amylase is associated has many properties of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). When membranebound -amylase is prepared in buffers containing 3 mM MgCl2 two fractions from a sucrose step gradient contain most of the -amylase activity. These fractions are enriched in the ER marker enzyme, NADH-dependent cytochrome-c reductase, and show densities characteristic of smooth and rough ER during subsequent purification on continuous gradients. In step gradients prepared with ethylenediaminete-traacetic-acid-treated membranes, -amylase activity is contained primarily in one fraction having the density of smooth ER. Electron microscopy of the purified fractions is consistent with -amylase being associated with smooth and rough ER. However, it has not been ruled out that the enzyme is also associated with plasma membrane, Golgi membranes, or tonoplast. Examination of the isoenzyme patterns of secreted, of total-homogenate and of membrane-associated -amylases, as well as the results from pulsechase experiments using L-[3H]leucine for labeling of -amylase, are all consistent with the hypothesis that membrane-associated -amylase is an intermediate in the secretory process.Abbreviations CNTPE N-carbobenzoxy-L-tyrosine p-nitrophenylester - Cyt oxidase Cytochrome oxidase - ER endoplasmic reticulum - EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid - GA3 gibberellic acid - IDPase inosine diphosphatase - K+-ATPase pH 6.5 K+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase - MES 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid - MOPS 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid - NADH: Cyt c reductase cyanide-insensitive NADH-linked cytochrome-c reductase - RER rough endoplasmic reticulum - Tris tris-(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane  相似文献

Summary Whole cells of Bacillus subtilis were immobilized in polyacrylamide gel prepared from 5% total acrylamide (85% acrylamide and 15% N,N-methylenebisacrylamide). Production of -amylase by the immobilized whole cells was attempted in a batch system. -Amylase produced by the immobilized whole cells was about three times larger than that produced by washed cells at optimum conditions. The reusability of the immobilized whole cells and washed cells was examined. The activity of -amylase production by washed cells decreased with increasing use cycles. On the other hand, the activity of the immobilized cells increased gradually, and it reched a steady state after seven cycles. -Amylase was produced from a simple reaction medium containing 1% meat extract and 0.05% yeast extract by the immobilized whole cells. The rate of -amylase production by the immobilized whole cells was the same as in submerged cultivation using starch bouillon medium. Growth of B. subtilis in polyacrylamide gel was observed by electron microscopy.  相似文献

Intraspecific variation of -amylase activity in D. melanogaster and D. immigrans, which is distantly related to D. melanogaster, and interspecific variation of -amylase activity in 18 Drosophila species were examined. The amount of intraspecific variation of -amylase activities measured in terms of coefficient of variation in D. melanogaster and D. immigrans was one-half and one-tenth or less, respectively, of the interspecific variation in 18 Drosophila species. We also surveyed the response patterns of -amylase activity to dietary carbohydrates at the larval and adult stages. The levels of -amylase activity depended on both repression by dietary glucose (glucose repression) and induction by dietary starch (starch induction). In general, our data suggest that glucose repression was conserved among species at both stages while starch induction was mainly observed in larvae, although the degree of the response depended on species. In D. lebanonensis lebanonensis and D. serrata, larvae expressed electrophoretically different -amylase variants (isozymes) from those of adult flies. These results may suggest that the regulatory systems responsible both for the response to environment and developmental expression are different among species in Drosophila. Correspondence to: T.

Summary Fifteen inbred lines of rye, F1 and F2 progenies from crosses between lines were studied using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Conventional genetic analysis of -amylase zymograms showed that the 19 bands detected in the endosperm of germinating caryopses were controlled by three linked structural loci and one independent modifying locus, which influenced the electrophoretic mobility of isozymes. Two codominant alleles were found at the -Amy1, -Amy2 structural loci and the M--Amy modifying locus while the -Amy3 locus had three alleles. Double-banded expression of the -amylase alleles was probably due to the simultaneous presence of modified and unmodified forms of isozymes on the zymogram.This work was supported by Polish Academy of Sciences under project MR-II/7 and was also a part of the author's PhD Thesis  相似文献

As part of our investigation of the mode of action of plant hormones in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) aleurone layers, we have studied the expression of five identified and three unidentified mRNA species in the presence of exogenous gibberellic acid (GA3) and abscisic acid. Three of the mRNAs are GA3-inducible, three are suppressed by GA3, and two are constitutive. The extent of the GA3 effect differs considerably for both inducible and suppressible mRNAs. For example, a ten-fold higher concentration of GA3 (10-8 M) is required for full induction of the high-pl group -amylase mRNA than is required for the low-pI -amylase mRNA (10-9 M). Temporal regulation of mRNA abundance also varies between the two -amylase isoenzyme groups. The three GA3-suppressible mRNA species studied, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH1), a probable amylase and protease inhibitor, and an unidentified barley mRNA species also varied in response to GA3. The ADH1 mRNA decreased drastically within 8 h of GA3 treatment, whereas the other two began to decrease in abundance only after 12–16 h of GA3 treatment. Abscisic-acid treatment counteracted the GA3 effects for both the inducible and suppressible mRNA species. Comparison of -amylase-mRNA levels and -amylase-synthesis rates showed a strong correlation between the two parameters, the only exception being a lack of -amylase synthesis in the presence of -amylase mRNA at low GA3 concentrations. Therefore, the expression of -amylase seems to be regulated primarily by its mRNA levels.Abbreviations ABA abscisic acid - ADH1 alcohol dehydrogenase 1 - cDNA copy DNA - GA3 gibberellic acid - PAPI probable amylase/protease inhibitor  相似文献

A novel strain of Bacillus stearothermophilus was isolated from samples of a potato-processing industry. Compared to known -amylases from other B. stearothermophilus strains, the isolate was found to produce a highly thermostable -amylase. The half-time of inactivation of this -amylase was 5.1 h at 80°C and 2.4 h at 90°C. The temperature optimum for activity of the -amylase was 70°C; the pH optimum for activity was relatively low, in the range 5.5–6.0. -Amylase synthesis was regulated by induction and repression mechanisms. An inverse relationship was found between growth rate and -amylase production. Low starch concentrations and low growth temperatures were favourable for enzyme production by the organism. At the optimal temperature for growth, 65°C, the -amylase was a growth-associated enzyme. The optimal temperature for -amylase production, however, was 40°C, with -amylase increasing from 3.9 units (U)/ml to 143 U/ml when lowering the growth temperature from 65°C to 40°C. Maximal -amylase production in a batch fermentor run at 65°C was 102 U/ml, which was 26-fold higher than in erlenmeyer flasks at 65°C. The dissolved O2 concentration was found to be a critical factor in production of the -amylase.  相似文献

Eight constructions involving the Bacillus subtilis -amylase gene (amyE), a mouse pancreatic -amylase cDNA (AMY2) and an Aspergillus awamori glucoamylase cDNA (glaA) were prepared: three fusion genes, involving one -amylase and the glucoamylase, two double-cassette plasmids (expressing one or other -amylase and the glucoamylase) and three single-cassette plasmids, expressing the individual coding sequences. Following transformation of each plasmid into Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a plate test revealed that the largest starch hydrolysis halo was produced by the strain bearing the B. subtilis -amylase/glucoamylase fusion (BsAAase/GAase), and the smallest halo by the one expressing the mouse pancreatic -amylase/glucoamylase fusion (MAAase/GAase). When assayed for enzymatic activity in liquid medium, the strains bearing the fusion and the double-cassette plasmids involving B. subtilis -amylase and the glucoamylase exhibited both enzymic activities. Moreover, the BsAAase/GAase hybrid was able to adsorb and digest raw starch. The MAAse/GAase fusion protein was found to exhibit only -amylase activity. Finally, the capacity to grow on soluble and corn starch was tested in liquid medium for the strains bearing plasmids coding for the fusion proteins and the separate enzymes. The strain carrying the double-cassette BsAAase + GAase, which produced one of the smallest hydrolysis haloes in the place test, showed the best performance, not only in digesting soluble and corn starch but also in using all of the hydrolysis products for growth. The transformant bearing the BsAAase/GAase fusion was able to grow on soluble starch, but not on corn starch.  相似文献

Two forms of -glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20), designated as I and II, have been isolated from sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) seeds by a procedure including fractionation with ammonium sulfate and ethanol, carboxymethyl-cellulose column chromatography, and preparative disc gel electrophoresis. The two enzymes were homogeneous by polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. Their molecular weights were 98,000 (I) and 60,000 (II). -Glucosidase I readily hydrolyzed maltose, isomaltose, kojibiose, maltotriose, panose, amylose, soluble starch, amylopectin and glycogen. -Glucosidase II also hydrolyzed maltose, kojibiose and maltotriose but hydrolyzed the other substrates only very weakly or not at all. -Glucosidase I hydrolyzed soluble starch at a faster rate than maltose. It produced isomaltose and panose as the main -glucosyltransfer products from maltose, whereas maltotriose was the main product of -glucosidase II. -Glucosidase I hydrolyzed amylose liberating -glucose. The neutral-sugar content was calculated to be 2.7% for -glucosidase I and 8.8% for -glucosidase II. The main neutral sugar was mannose in -glucosidase I, and glucose in -glucosidase II.  相似文献

Polyethylene glycol was found to enhance adsorption of Bacillus subtilis -amylase on starch in optimum concentration 10 % (w/w). Degree of adsorption at 12°C was increased from 83 to 98 % and from 30 to 81 % for cross-linked and raw starch, resp. Higher sorption capacity and easy desorption of -amylase without temperature or pH change was reached at 22 °C. Yield of -amylase 95 % and purification factor 8.3 were achieved on the cross-linked starch column. The method is suitable for -amylase isolation from PEG phase after its microbial production in aqueous two-phase systems.  相似文献

Summary In a class of tunicamycin-resistant mutants (tmrA7) of Bacillus subtilis, the production of extracellular -amylase is increase by about five fold. The tmrA7 characteristics (tunicamycin resistance and hyperproduction of extracellular -amylase) can be transferred to recipient cells by transformation. In the transformants and the original tmrA7 mutant, typical amplification of the region from 4 kb upstream of the amyE gene to the tmrB gene on the chromosome was detected. The repeating unit, 16 kb in size, repeats tandemly about five and ten times in the mutant and transformants, respectively, and the -amylase production is proportional to the copy number of the amyE gene. Simultaneous amplification of the tmrB gene, which is responsible for tunicamycin resistance in the multicopy state, and the -amylase structural gene (amyE) seems to be the cause of the pleiotropy of the tmrA7 mutation.  相似文献

Summary Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 321S cells were immobilized with 3.4% -carrageenan gel in bead form, and -amylase production by the immobilized cells was studied. Cells in the gel, after the population reached maximum were restricted to a layer of 50 m thickness, from the surface of the gel, suggesting that oxygen diffusion is the growth limiting factor. The specific respiratory activity and the growth rate of the entrapped cells under such conditions were 1/2 and 1/5 1/10, respectively, that of free cells. In spite of the repressed respiration and growth, the specific rate of -amylase production of the entrapped cells reached the maximum value of free cells or higher.In continuous culture, in an aerated vessel with a volume ratio of gel beads to medium of 1:2, the maximum production rate of -amylase was obtained at a dilution rate of 1.0 h–1, which was double the maximum specific growth rate of the strain.These results showed that bacterial -amylase production, which is a nongrowth-associated type of synthesis was achieved with the use of immobilized cells.  相似文献

Production of -amylase during the germination of rice grains is thought to play an important role for tolerance to anoxia of these cereal grains. Under aerobic conditions -amylases production is enhanced in response to gibberellins produced by the embryos, but the role of these hormones is less clear under anoxia. In this paper we analysed -amylase gene expression in a rice mutant (Tan-ginbozu) severely impaired in gibberellin biosynthesis. Expression of -amylase genes others than the gibberellin-induced Amy1A gene is observed. The expression of the Amy3D gene, which does dot require gibberellins to be induced, is high under anoxia in the Tan-ginbozu mutant suggesting that germination under anoxia can proceed thanks to the activity of the -amylase isoform encoded by the Amy3D gene. Amy3D gene expression is repressed in the presence of high levels of soluble carbohydrates, indicating that the anaerobic expression of this gene can be triggered by a lower carbohydrate content of rice grains kept under anoxia. Germination under anoxia of Tan-ginbozu grains can proceed even in absence of exogenously-added gibberellic acid. Overall, results indicate that gibberellins are not required for the anaerobic germination of rice grains.  相似文献

Summary The effect of an inhibitory factor (IF) fromAspergillus niger 19 on raw starch digestion by pure glucoamylase I of blackAspergillus, pure glucoamylae ofRhizopus niveus, bacterial -amylase, fungal -amylase and various combination was investigated. The IF caused higher inhibition of raw starch hydrolysis by the combined action of glucoamylase and fungal -amylase than of hydrolysis by the individual enzymes. A protein moiety of IF might play an active part in this inhibition phenomenon. The IF was bound to starch granules, preventing hydrolysis by the enzymes, and caused decreased raw starch hydrolysis yields.  相似文献

Summary Gel filtration and centrifugation studies were used to study the distribution of -amylase activity in homogenates of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) aleurone layers. The results obtained were consistent with the hypothesis that -amylase is secreted via membrane-bound vesicles. The -amylase activity in an homogenate of barley aleurone layers was derived not only from the enzyme retained in the aleurone cells but also from enzyme previously secreted from the cells but apparently retained by the cell walls. The amount of -amylase retained by the cell wall was influenced by factors such as the buffer in which the layers were incubated or the presence of Actinomycin D in the incubation medium.Abbreviations GA3 gibberellic acid - RER rough endoplasmic reticulum - Act.
