Exopolysaccharides (EPS) play an important role in the rheology and texture of fermented food products. This is the first report demonstrating that homologous overexpression of a complete eps gene cluster in Lactococcus lactis leads to increased EPS production levels. A ninefold-elevated EPS plasmid copy number led to an almost threefold increase in the eps expression level, resulting in an almost fourfold increase in the NIZO B40 EPS production level. It was previously reported that increased EPS precursor levels did not influence NIZO B40 EPS production levels. However, the present results indicate that the maximal NIZO B40 EPS production level is limited by the activity level of the expression products of the eps gene cluster rather than by the level of EPS precursors. 相似文献

Exopolysaccharide (EPS) metabolism was studied in a galactose-negative strain of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, using two different approaches. Firstly, using both the parent strain and a chemically induced mutant with higher yield and specific productivity of EPS than the parent, comparative information was obtained relating to enzyme activities and metabolite levels associated with EPS formation when grown on lactose. Under continuous culture conditions (D=0.10 h−1), the higher metabolic flux towards EPS formation in the mutant strain relative to the parent appeared to be mediated by raised levels of UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGP). Marginally raised UDP-galactose 4-epimerase (UGE) activity in the mutant strain suggested that this enzyme could also play a role in EPS overproduction. The second approach involved investigating the effect of growth rate on sugar nucleotide metabolism in the parent, as it is known that EPS production is growth-associated in this strain. UGE activity in the parent strain appeared to increase when the growth rate was elevated from 0.05 to 0.10 h−1, and further to 0.35 h−1, conditions that can be associated with higher levels of metabolic flux to EPS formation. Concurrent with these increments, intracellular ATP levels in the cell were raised. In both investigations glucose-6-phosphate accumulated pointing to a constriction at this branch-point, and a limitation in the flow of carbon towards fructose-6-phosphate or glucose-1-phosphate. The changes in metabolism associated with enhanced flux to EPS provide guidance as to how the yield of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus EPS can be improved. 相似文献

The O-specific polysaccharide from the lipopolysaccharide of Cronobacter sakazakii G2592 was studied by sugar analysis along with 1D and 2D 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and the following structure of the pentasaccharide repeating unit was established:This structure is unique among the known bacterial polysaccharide structures, which is in accord with classification of strain G2592 into a new C. sakazakii serotype, O7. It is in agreement with the O-antigen gene cluster of this strain, which was found between the housekeeping genes JUMPStart and gnd and characterized by sequencing and tentative assignment of the gene functions. 相似文献

A haloalkalophilic Halomonas strain CRSS, isolated from salt sediments in Antarctica, produced exocellular polysaccharides (EPS) up to 2.9gg-1 dry cells. Acetate was the most efficient carbon source for EPS production. The composition of media strongly affected the nature of the polymers; a mannan and a xylo-mannan, were obtained when cells were grown on complex media. Acetate was the most efficient carbon source for EPS production and in presence of this substrate, a new polysaccharide, a fructo-glucan, was produced. The EPS fraction was composed by glucose, fructose, glucosamine and galactosamine in relative proportions of 1:0.7:0.3:trace.Revisions requested; Revisions received 6 September 2004 相似文献

The influence of growth rate and medium composition on exopolymer production byRhizobium leguminosarum was studied. When grown in medium containing 10g/l mannitol and 1g/l glutamic acid,Rhizobium leguminosarum biovartrifolii TA-1 synthesized up to 2.0g/l of extracellular polysaccharide (EPS), and up to 1.6g/l of capsular polysaccharide (CPS). Under non-growing cell conditions in medium without glutamic acid, CPS synthesis by strain TA-1 could proceed to 2.1g/l, while EPS-production remained relatively low (0.8g/l). Maximal CPS-yield was 2.9g CPS/l medium in a medium containing 20g/l mannitol and 2g/l glutamic acid. TheEPS-deficient strain R. leguminosarum RBL5515,exo4::Tn5 was able to produce CPS to similar levels as strain TA-1, but CPS-recovery was easier because of the low viscosity of the medium and growth of the cells in pellets. With strain TA-1 in nitrogen-limited continuous cultures with a constant biomass of 500mg cell protein/l, EPS was the most abundant polysaccharide present at every dilution rate D (between 0.12 and 0.02 h–1). The production rates were 50–100mg/g protein/h for EPS and 15–20mg/g protein/h for CPS. Only low amounts of cyclic -(1,2)-glucans were excreted (10–30 mg/l) over the entire range of growth rates.Abbreviations bv

Streptomyces sp. 139 produces a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS) designated Ebosin which has antagonistic activity for IL-1R in vitro and
remarkable anti-rheumatic arthritis activity in vivo. We previously identified a ste (Streptomyces eps) gene cluster consisting of 27 ORFs responsible for Ebosin biosynthesis. The gene product of ste15 shows high homology to known glycosyltransferases (GTFs). To elucidate its function in Ebosin biosynthesis, the ste15 gene was knocked out with a double crossover via homologous recombination. Our analysis of monosaccharide composition for
EPS-m produced by the mutant strain Streptomyces sp. 139 (ste15
−) showed that glucose was significantly diminished compared to its natural counterpart Ebosin. This derivative of Ebosin lost
the antagonistic activity for IL-1R in vitro and its molecular mass was smaller than Ebosin. These results have demonstrated
that the ste15 gene codes for a GTF for glucose, which is functionally involved in Ebosin biosynthesis. 相似文献

Lactobacillus paraplantarum BGCG11, a putative probiotic strain isolated from a soft, white, artisanal cheese, produces a high-molecular-weight heteropolysaccharide, exopolysaccharide (EPS)-CG11, responsible for the ropy phenotype and immunomodulatory activity of the strain. In this study, a 26.4-kb region originating from the pCG1 plasmid, previously shown to be responsible for the production of EPS-CG11 and a ropy phenotype, was cloned, sequenced, and functionally characterized. In this region 16 putative open reading frames (ORFs), encoding enzymes for the production of EPS-CG11, were organized in specific loci involved in the biosynthesis of the repeat unit, polymerization, export, regulation, and chain length determination. Interestingly, downstream of the eps gene cluster, a putative transposase gene was identified, followed by an additional rfb gene cluster containing the rfbACBD genes, the ones most probably responsible for dTDP-l-rhamnose biosynthesis. The functional analysis showed that the production of the high-molecular-weight fraction of EPS-CG11 was absent in two knockout mutants, one in the eps and the other in the rfb gene cluster, as confirmed by size exclusion chromatography analysis. Therefore, both eps and rfb genes clusters are prerequisites for the production of high-molecular-weight EPS-CG11 and for the ropy phenotype of strain L. paraplantarum BGCG11. 相似文献

A novel structure of exopolysaccharide from the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) Lactobacillus rhamnosus KL37B, from the human intestinal flora, is described. During the structural investigation of the exopolysaccharide it was found that the repeating unit is a nonasaccharide, which is the largest repeating unit found in LAB exopolysaccharides to date. The polysaccharide material was prepared by TCA extraction of a bacterial cell mass, purified by anion-exchange and gel permeation chromatography and characterized using chemical and enzymatic methods. On the basis of monosaccharide and methylation analysis and also 1D and 2D 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy the exopolysaccharide was shown to be composed of the following nonasaccharide repeating unit:The physicochemical cell surface study and adhesive properties indicated distinct surface properties of Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain KL37B with high adhesive abilities to Caco-2 cells, hydrophobicity and slime production, in comparison to other Lactobacillus strains used as controls. 相似文献

Exopolysaccharide (EPS) preparations from Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus (L. bulgaricus) strains LBB.B26 and LBB.B332 and Streptococcus thermophilus strains LBB.T54 and LBB.T6V were characterized using ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. All four preparations
contained a neutral EPS with molecular mass in the range of 1.3−1.6 × 106 Da (HMM-EPS). The EPS preparations from the two L. bulgaricus strains also contained an acidic low molecular mass EPS fraction (LMM-EPS) comprising from 10% to 34% of the total EPS yield.
HMM-EPS preparations were subjected to High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis of monomer sugars after complete
hydrolysis. Glucose, galactose and/or rhamnose in different ratios proved to be the principal sugars building the HMM-EPS
from all four strains. The chemical composition of HMM-EPS was strictly strain-specific. The LMM-EPS contained galactose.
The viscosifying properties of the four different HMM-EPS varied greatly with intrinsic viscosity in the range from 0.26 (strain
B26) to 2.38 (strain T6V). For 24 h the two L. bulgaricus strains accumulated more HMM-EPS in milk (>70 mg l−1) than S. thermophilus strains T54 and T6V (<30 mg l−1), but maximal yields were reached earlier with cocci (8 h) than with rods (16–24 h). The contribution of HMM-EPS production
to increased viscosity of fermented milk was demonstrated for all of the tested strains grown as monocultures or as mixed
yogurt starters compared to non-EPS producing S. thermophilus LBB.A and poor EPS-producer L. bulgaricus LBB.B5. The extent of increased viscosity was strongly dependent on the nature of the produced HMM-EPS, rather than simply
on polymer yield. 相似文献

Streptomyces sp. 139 generates a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS) designated as Ebosin, which exerts an antagonistic effect on IL-1R in vitro and anti-rheumatic arthritis activity in vivo. A ste gene cluster for Ebosin biosynthesis consisting of 27 ORFs was previously identified in our laboratory. In this paper, ste16 was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 and the recombinant protein was purified, which has the ability to catalyze the transfer of the methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine
(AdoMet) to dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucos, which was thus identified as a methyltransferase. In order to determine the function
of ste16 in Ebosin biosynthesis, the gene was disrupted with a double crossover via homologous recombination. The monosaccharide composition
of EPS-m generated by the mutant strain Streptomyces sp. 139 (ste16) was found to differ from that of Ebosin. The IL-1R antagonist activity of EPS-m was markedly lower than that of Ebosin.
These experimental results have shown that the ste16 gene codes for a methyltransferase which is involved in Ebosin biosynthesis.

Summary Strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum (R. l.) biovar viciae containing pss mutations fail to make the acidic exopolysaccharides (EPS) and are unable to nodulate peas. It was found that they also failed to nodulate Vicia hirsuta, another host of this biovar. When peas were co-inoculated with pss mutant derivatives of a strain of R.l. bv viciae containing a sym plasmid plus a cured strain lacking a sym plasmid (and which is thus Nod-, but for different reasons) but which makes the acidic EPS, normal numbers of nodules were formed, the majority of which failed to fix nitrogen (the occasional Fix+ nodules were pressumably induced by strains that arose as a result of genetic exchange between cells of the two inoculants in the rhizosphere). Bacteria from the Fix- nodules contained, exclusively, the strain lacking its sym plasmid. When pss mutant strains were co-inoculated with a Nod- strain with a mutation in the regulatory gene nodD (which is on the sym plasmid pRL1JI), normal numbers of Fix+ nodules were formed, all of which were occupiced solely by the nodD mutant strain. Since a mutation in nodD abolishes activation of other nod genes required for early stages of infection, these nod genes appear to be dispensable for subsequent stages in nodule development. Recombinant plasmids, containing cloned pss genes, overcame the inhibitory effects of psi, a gene which when cloned in the plasmid vector pKT230, inhibits both EPS production and nodulation ability. Determination of the sequence of the pss DNA showed that one, or perhaps two, genes are required for correcting strains that either carry pss mutations or contain multi-copy psi. The predicted polypeptide product of one of the pss genes had a hydrophobic aminoterminal region, suggesting that it may be located in the membrane. Since the psi gene product may also be associated with the bacterial membrane, the products of psi and pss may interact with each other. 相似文献

The anti-diabetic activities of the exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by submerged mycelial culture of two different mushrooms,
Tremella fuciformis and Phellinus baumii, in ob/ob mice were investigated. All the animals were randomly divided into three groups with seven animals in each group: The control
group received 0.9% NaCl solution; the diabetic groups were treated with EPS from T. fuciformis (Tf EPS) and P. baumii (Pb EPS) at the level of 200 mg/kg body weight using an oral zoned daily for 52 days. The plasma glucose levels in the EPS-fed
mice were substantially reduced by about 52% (Tf EPS) and 32% (Pb EPS), respectively, as compared to control mice. The results
of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) revealed that both EPS-fed groups significantly increased the glucose disposal after
52 days of EPS treatments. Furthermore, higher food efficiency ratios and reduced blood triglyceride levels were observed
in the EPS-treated groups. Because peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) is indeed a key regulator of
insulin action, we investigated the expression pattern of adipose tissue PPAR-γ messenger RNA (mRNA) and plasma levels of
PPAR-γ. It was revealed that PPAR-γ was significantly activated in response to EPS treatments. The results suggested that
both EPS exhibited considerable hypoglycemic effect and improved insulin sensitivity possibly through regulating PPAR-γ-mediated
lipid metabolism. Our results indicated that two mushroom-derived EPS might be developed as potential oral hypoglycemic agents
or functional foods for the management of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

H. seropedicae associates endophytically and epiphytically with important poaceous crops and is capable of promoting their growth. The molecular mechanisms involved in plant colonization by this microrganism are not fully understood. Exopolysaccharides (EPS) are usually necessary for bacterial attachment to solid surfaces, to other bacteria, and to form biofilms. The role of H. seropedicae SmR1 exopolysaccharide in biofilm formation on both inert and plant substrates was assessed by characterization of a mutant in the espB gene which codes for a glucosyltransferase. The mutant strain was severely affected in EPS production and biofilm formation on glass wool. In contrast, the plant colonization capacity of the mutant strain was not altered when compared to the parental strain. The requirement of EPS for biofilm formation on inert surface was reinforced by the induction of eps genes in biofilms grown on glass and polypropylene. On the other hand, a strong repression of eps genes was observed in H. seropedicae cells adhered to maize roots. Our data suggest that H. seropedicae EPS is a structural component of mature biofilms, but this development stage of biofilm is not achieved during plant colonization. 相似文献

The exopolysaccharide (EPS) is an extracellular molecule that in Bradyrhizobium japonicum affects bacterial efficiency to nodulate soybean. Culture conditions such as N availability, type of C-source, or culture age can modify the amount and composition of EPS. To better understand the relationship among these conditions for EPS production, we analyzed their influence on EPS in B. japonicum USDA 110 and its derived mutant ΔP22. This mutant has a deletion including the 3′ region of exoP, exoT, and the 5′ region of exoB, and produces a shorter EPS devoid of galactose. The studies were carried out in minimal media with the N-source at starving or sufficient levels, and mannitol or malate as the only C-source. Under N-starvation there was a net EPS accumulation, the levels being similar in the wild type and the mutant with malate as the C-source. By contrast, the amount of EPS diminished in N-sufficient conditions, being poyhydroxybutyrate accumulated with culture age. Hexoses composition was the same in both N-situations, either with mannitol or malate as the only C-source, in contrast to previous observations made with different strains. This result suggests that the change in EPS composition in response to the environment is not general in B. japonicum. The wild type EPS composition was 1 glucose:0.5 galactose:0.5 galacturonic acid:0.17 mannose. In ΔP22 the EPS had no galactose but had galacturonic acid, thus indicating that it was not produced from oxidation of UDP-galactose. Infectivity was lower in ΔP22 than in USDA 110. When the mutant infectivity was compared between N-starved or N-sufficient cultures, the N-starved were not less infective, despite the fact that the amounts of altered EPS produced by this mutant under N-starvation were higher than in N-sufficiency. Since this altered EPS does not bind soybean lectin, the interaction of EPS with this protein was not involved in increasing ΔP22 infectivity under N-starvation. 相似文献

An acidic exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by the diazotrophic bacterium Burkholderia tropica, strain Ppe8, was isolated from the culture supernatant of bacteria grown in a synthetic liquid medium containing mannitol and glutamate. Monosaccharide composition showed Rha, Glc and GlcA in a 2.0:2.0:1.0 molar ratio, respectively. Further structural characterization was performed by a combination of NMR, mass spectrometry and chemical methods. Partial acid hydrolysis of EPS provided a mixture of acidic oligosaccharides that were characterized by ESI-MS, giving rise to ions with m/z 193 (GlcA-H)−, 339 (GlcA,Rha-H)−, 501 (GlcA,Rha,Glc-H)−, 647 (GlcA,Rha2,Glc,-H)−, 809 (GlcA,Rha2,Glc2,-H)− and 851 (GlcA,Rha2,Glc2,OAc-H)−. Carboxyreduced EPS (EPS-CR) had Glc and Rha in a 3:2 ratio, present as d- and l-enantiomers, respectively. Methylation and NMR analysis of EPS and EPS-CR showed a main chain containing 2,4-di-O-Rhap, 3-O-Rhap and 4-O-Glcp. A GlcA side chain unit was found in the acidic EPS, substituting O-4 of α-l-Rhap units. This was observed as a non-reducing end unit of glucopyranose in the EPS-CR. Acetyl esters occured at O-2 of β-l-Rhap units. From the combined results herein, we determined the structure of the exocellular polysaccharide produced by B. tropica, Ppe8, as being a pentasaccharide repeating unit as shown:
