Influence of nitrogen deficiency on biochemical composition of the green alga <Emphasis Type="Italic">Botryococcus</Emphasis>

A study has been carried out to investigate the influence of nitrogen deficiency on intracellular lipid composition, including total fatty acid composition of lipids, polar lipids, and triacylglycerols, of the alga Botryococcus braunii Kütz IPPAS H-252 in batch culture. Under nitrogen limitation, the alga accumulates lipids as triacylglycerols and the total fatty acid (FA) composition changes: trienoic acids decrease (from 52.8–57.2 to 19.5–24.7% of the total FAs) and the oleic acid increases (from 1.1–1.2 to 17.1–24.4%) as does the saturated acids (from 23.7–26 to 32.9–46.1%). A similar rearrangement in the FA spectrum occurs at later times in the control culture, but it is less pronounced. Under nitrogen limitation, considerable changes in the polar lipid FAs are registered at day 13: saturated acids increase (from 28.6–35.5 to 76.8%) and all polyenoic acids markedly decrease (from 56.9–64.1 to 6.8%). Changes in the triacylglycerol fatty acid spectrum are seen on day 7: the oleic acid increases (from 14.7 to 34.2%) and remains at a high level till the end of the culture. In the control, triacylglycerols with large contents of oleic acid are detected at day 13, the total lipids and triacylglycerols still remaining unchanged.

Enhanced utilization-rate of methanol during growth on a mixed substrate: A continuous culture study with Hansenula polymorpha

The yeast Hansenula polymorpha was grown in a chemostat using either methanol or sorbitol as substrate or a mixture of both. Methanol alone could be utilized up to a dilution rate (D) of 0.18 h^-1, and sorbitol allowed growth at D's higher than 0.52 h^-1. In combination with sorbitol, methanol was completely utilized in the mixture even up to a D of 0.3 h^-1, and partially utilized at higher D's, To elucidate the basis of methanol utilization at high D's, enzyme activities on the single substrates and on the substrate mixture were compared. At D's above 0.3 h^-1 an increase of formate dehydrogenase activity was evident, an enzyme involved in the oxidation of methanol to carbon dioxide. It was concluded that at high D's large amounts of methanol were oxidized to generate energy. This was proved with ¹⁴C-methanol, and it was found that in the range of partial methanol utilization approximately 75% of methanol was converted to carbon dioxide and 25% incorporated into cell material.Abbreviation D dilution rate

Metabolism of symmetrical dialkyl ethers by Acinetobacter sp. HO1-N

The growth of Acinetobacter species HO1-N on a homologous series of dialkyl ethers yielded characteristic cellular and extracellular ether fatty acids. Microbial growth on diheptyl ether resulted in the appearance of 7-n-heptoxy-1-n-heptanoic acid as a cellular fatty acid and 2-n-heptoxy-1-acetic acid as the sole extracellular fatty acid. The oxidation of dinonyl ether and didecyl ether by Acinetobacter resulted in the extracellular accumulation of 2-n-nonoxy-acetic acid and 2-n-decoxy-1-acetic acid, respectively. The 16-carbon ether fatty acid, 6-n-decoxy-1-n-hexanoic acid, was identified as a major cellular fatty acid in didecyl ether-grown cells. The extracellular ether fatty acids accumulated in an inverse relationship to the disappearance of the dialkyl ether and appeared to represent end products of metabolism. The carbon and energy required for cellular growth and metabolism resided in the terminal 5-carbons of diheptyl ether, 7-carbons of dinonyl ether and 8-carbons of didecyl ether. Glutarate, adipate, pimelate and suberate were identified from cells grown at the expense of diheptyl, dioctyl, dinonyl and didecyl ether, respectively, suggesting a role for dibasic acids as metabolic intermediates. A new and novel mechanism for the metabolism of symmetrical dialkyl ethers is suggested. Terminal methyl group oxidation of the dialkyl ether results in the formation of an alkoxy-fatty acid followed by an internal carbon-carbon scission reaction 2-carbons removed from the oxygen atom. The resulting endproducts are alkoxyacetic acid and the corresponding dibasic acid.Non-Standard Abbreviations TLC Thin Layer Chromatography - PS-DEGS · PS Diethylene glycol succinate - DHE Diheptyl ether - DOE Dioctyl ether - DNE Dionyl ether - DDE Didecyl ether
