The goal of this investigation was to determine the effect of a xylose transport system on glucose and xylose co-consumption as well as total xylose consumption in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We expressed two heterologous transporters from Arabidopsis thaliana in recombinant xylose-utilizing S. cerevisiae cells. Strains expressing the heterologous transporters were grown on glucose and xylose mixtures. Sugar consumption rates and ethanol concentrations were determined and compared to an isogenic control strain lacking the A. thaliana transporters. Expression of the transporters increased xylose uptake and xylose consumption up to 46% and 40%, respectively. Xylose co-consumption rates (prior to glucose depletion) were also increased by up to 2.5-fold compared to the control strain. Increased xylose consumption correlated with increased ethanol concentration and productivity. During the xylose/glucose co-consumption phase, strains expressing the transporters had up to a 70% increase in ethanol production rate. It was concluded that in these strains, xylose transport was a limiting factor for xylose utilization and that increasing xylose/glucose co-consumption is a viable strategy for improving xylose fermentation. 相似文献

Plant biomass possesses a huge potential as a source for biofuel production. The main components of biomass are glucose and five-carbon sugar xylose. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that is used for industrial ethanol production from glucose is unable to xylose fermentation. Therefore a microorganism capable for efficient fermentation of both glucose and xylose has to be found in nature or constructed for economically feasible biomass conversion to ethanol. The active xylose fermentation could be performed by increasing the efficiency of initial stages of xylose metabolism. In this review the enzymes of initial stages of xylose metabolism in yeasts (xylose reductase, xylitol dehydrogenase, xylulokinase) and bacteria (xylose isomerase and xylulokinase) are characterized. The ways for construction of yeast strains capable of efficient alcoholic xylose fermentation are discussed. 相似文献

Abstract Thermoanaerobacter thermohydrosulfuricus Rt8.B1 catabolized xylose by the pentose phosphate pathway, and xylose isomerase and xylulokinase were inducible. The uptake of xylose was by two low-affinity, inducible systems. Both systems were resistant to the protonophore, tetrachlorosalicylanilide, the F1 F0 -ATPase inhibitor, N , N -dicyclohexylcarboiimide, and the sodium/proton antiporter, monensin. The high capacity system (100 nmol min−1 (mg protein)−1 ) was only expressed when the bacterium was grown with a high concentration of xylose (50 mM). It took more than 60 mM xylose to saturate the high capacity system. When T. thermohydrosulfuricus was grown with a low concentration of xylose (5 mM), xylose uptake was saturated by as little as 10 mM xylose (18 nmol min−1 (mg protein)−1 ). Cells grown with 50 mM xylose could not transport glucose, and high capacity xylose transport was not inhibited by glucose or non-metabolizable glucose analogues. Cells grown with 5 mM xylose transported glucose at a rapid rate (30 nmol min−1 (mg protein)−1 ), and low capacity xylose uptake was competitively inhibited by either glucose or 2-deoxy-glucose. Because the glucose uptake of cells grown on 5 mM xylose was competitively inhibited by xylose, it appeared that the low capacity xylose uptake system was a glucose/xylose carrier. 相似文献

Kinetics of growth and ethanol production on different carbon substrates using genetically engineered xylose-fermenting yeast 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Saccharomyces cerevisiae 424A (LNH-ST) strain was used for fermentation of glucose and xylose. Growth kinetics and ethanol productivity were calculated for batch fermentation on media containing different combinations of glucose and xylose to give a final sugar concentration of 20+/-0.8 g/L. Growth rates obtained in pure xylose-based medium were less than those for media containing pure glucose and glucose-xylose mixtures. A maximum specific growth rate micro(max) of 0.291 h(-1) was obtained in YPD medium containing 20 g/L glucose as compared to 0.206 h(-1) in YPX medium containing 20 g/L xylose. In media containing combinations of glucose and xylose, glucose was exhausted first followed by xylose. Ethanol production on pure xylose entered log phase during the 12-24h period as compared to the 4-10h for pure glucose based medium using 2% inoculum. When glucose was added to fermentation flasks which had been initiated on a pure xylose-based medium, the rate of xylose usage was reduced indicating cosubstrate inhibition of xylose consumption by glucose. 相似文献

Sulfolobus acidocaldarius utilizes glucose and xylose as sole carbon sources, but its ability to metabolize these sugars simultaneously is not known. We report the absence of diauxie during growth of S. acidocaldarius on glucose and xylose as co-carbon sources. The presence of glucose did not repress xylose utilization. The organism utilized a mixture of 1 g/liter of each sugar simultaneously with a specific growth rate of 0.079 h(-1) and showed no preference for the order in which it utilized each sugar. The organism grew faster on 2 g/liter xylose (0.074 h(-1)) as the sole carbon source than on an equal amount of glucose (0.022 h(-1)). When grown on a mixture of the two carbon sources, the growth rate of the organism increased from 0.052 h(-1) to 0.085 h(-1) as the ratio of xylose to glucose increased from 0.25 to 4. S. acidocaldarius appeared to utilize a mixture of glucose and xylose at a rate roughly proportional to their concentrations in the medium, resulting in complete utilization of both sugars at about the same time. Gene expression in cells grown on xylose alone was very similar to that in cells grown on a mixture of xylose and glucose and substantially different from that in cells grown on glucose alone. The mechanism by which the organism utilized a mixture of sugars has yet to be elucidated. 相似文献

Effect of glucose on xylose utilization in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Saccharomyces cerevisiae</Emphasis> harboring the xylose reductase gene 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have constructed recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae JH1 harboring a xylose reductase gene (xyl1) isolated from Pichia stipitis. However, JH1 still utilizes glucose more easily than xylose. Therefore, in this study, we characterized the effect of a
glucose supplement on xylose utilization, the expression level of xylose reductase as a recombinant gene in JH1, and the expression
levels of two hexose transporters (Hxt4 and Hxt7) due to co-fermentation of different concentrations of glucose and xylose.
Co-fermentation using 20 g/l of glucose increased xylose consumption up to 11.7 g/l, which was 7.9-fold that of xylose fermentation
without a glucose supplement. In addition, we found xyl1 mRNA levels dramatically increased as cells grew under co-fermentation conditions with supplementary glucose; this result
is consistent with a significant decrease in the xylose concentration 48 h after cultivation. In addition, the expression
levels of Hxt4 and Hxt7 were strongly activated by the presence of glucose and xylose; in particular, Hxt7 showed a 2.9-fold
increased expression relative to that of recombinant S. cerevisiae JHM with only a backbone vector, pYES2. The results of this study suggest that xylose utilization would be improved by activation
of hexose transporters induced by glucose (rather than xylose) reductase expression. 相似文献

The catabolism of glucose and xylose was studied in a wild type and creA deleted (carbon catabolite de-repressed) strain of Aspergillus nidulans. Both strains were cultivated in bioreactors with either glucose or xylose as the sole carbon source, or in the presence of both sugars. In the cultivations on single carbon sources, it was demonstrated that xylose acted as a carbon catabolite repressor (xylose cultivations), while the enzymes in the xylose utilisation pathway were also subject to repression in the presence of glucose (glucose cultivations). In the wild type strain growing on the sugar mixture, glucose repression of xylose utilisation was observed; with xylose utilisation occurring only after glucose was depleted. This phenomenon was not seen in the creA deleted strain, where glucose and xylose were catabolised simultaneously. Measurement of key metabolites and the activities of key enzymes in the xylose utilisation pathway revealed that xylose metabolism was occurring in the creA deleted strain, even at high glucose concentrations. Conversely, in the wild type strain, activities of the key enzymes for xylose metabolism increased only when the effects of glucose repression had been relieved. Xylose was both a repressor and an inducer of xylanases at the same time. The creA mutation seemed to have pleiotropic effects on carbohydratases and carbon catabolism. 相似文献

During the fermentation of lignocellulosic hydrolyzates to ethanol by native pentose-fermenting yeasts such as Scheffersomyces (Pichia) stipitis NRRL Y-7124 (CBS 5773) and Pachysolen tannophilus NRRL Y-2460, the switch from glucose to xylose uptake results in a diauxic lag unless process strategies to prevent this are applied. When yeast were grown on glucose and resuspended in mixed sugars, the length of this lag was observed to be a function of the glucose concentration consumed (and consequently, the ethanol concentration accumulated) prior to the switch from glucose to xylose fermentation. At glucose concentrations of 95 g/L, the switch to xylose utilization was severely stalled such that efficient xylose fermentation could not occur. Further investigation focused on the impact of ethanol on cellular xylose transport and the induction and maintenance of xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase activities when large cell populations of S. stipitis NRRL Y-7124 were pre-grown on glucose or xylose and then presented mixtures of glucose and xylose for fermentation. Ethanol concentrations around 50 g/L fully repressed enzyme induction although xylose transport into the cells was observed to be occurring. Increasing degrees of repression were documented between 15 and 45 g/L ethanol. Repitched cell populations grown on xylose resulted in faster fermentation rates, particularly on xylose but also on glucose, and eliminated diauxic lag and stalling during mixed sugar conversion by P. tannophilus or S. stipitis, despite ethanol accumulations in the 60 or 70 g/L range, respectively. The process strategy of priming cells on xylose was key to the successful utilization of high mixed sugar concentrations because specific enzymes for xylose utilization could be induced before ethanol concentration accumulated to an inhibitory level. 相似文献

The fermentation of both glucose and xylose is important to maximize ethanol yield from renewable biomass feedstocks. In this article, we analyze growth, sugar consumption, and ethanol formation by the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus UFV-3 using various glucose and xylose concentrations and also under conditions of reduced respiratory activity. In almost all the conditions analyzed, glucose repressed xylose assimilation and xylose consumption began after glucose had been exhausted. A remarkable difference was observed when mixtures of 5 g L?1 glucose/20 g L?1 xylose and 20 g L?1 glucose/20 g L?1 xylose were used. In the former, the xylose consumption began immediately after the glucose depletion. Indeed, there was no striking diauxic phase, as observed in the latter condition, in which there was an interval of 30 h between glucose depletion and the beginning of xylose consumption. Ethanol production was always higher in a mixture of glucose and xylose than in glucose alone. The highest ethanol concentration (8.65 g L?1) and cell mass concentration (4.42 g L?1) were achieved after 8 and 74 h, respectively, in a mixture of 20 g L?1 glucose/20 g L?1 xylose. When inhibitors of respiration were added to the medium, glucose repression of xylose consumption was alleviated completely and K. marxianus was able to consume xylose and glucose simultaneously. 相似文献

Fermentation of cellulosic and hemicellulosic sugars from biomass could resolve food-versus-fuel conflicts inherent in the bioconversion of grains. However, the inability to coferment glucose and xylose is a major challenge to the economical use of lignocellulose as a feedstock. Simultaneous cofermentation of glucose, xylose, and cellobiose is problematic for most microbes because glucose represses utilization of the other saccharides. Surprisingly, the ascomycetous, beetle-associated yeast Spathaspora passalidarum, which ferments xylose and cellobiose natively, can also coferment these two sugars in the presence of 30 g/liter glucose. S. passalidarum simultaneously assimilates glucose and xylose aerobically, it simultaneously coferments glucose, cellobiose, and xylose with an ethanol yield of 0.42 g/g, and it has a specific ethanol production rate on xylose more than 3 times that of the corresponding rate on glucose. Moreover, an adapted strain of S. passalidarum produced 39 g/liter ethanol with a yield of 0.37 g/g sugars from a hardwood hydrolysate. Metabolome analysis of S. passalidarum before onset and during the fermentations of glucose and xylose showed that the flux of glycolytic intermediates is significantly higher on xylose than on glucose. The high affinity of its xylose reductase activities for NADH and xylose combined with allosteric activation of glycolysis probably accounts in part for its unusual capacities. These features make S. passalidarum very attractive for studying regulatory mechanisms enabling bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials by yeasts. 相似文献

Clostridium acetobutylicum exhibited diauxie growth in the presence of mixtures of glucose and xylose. Both glucose- and xylose-grown cells had a glucose uptake activity. On the other hand, growth on xylose was associated with the induction of a xylose permease activity, which was repressed by glucose in xylose-induced cells. The rate of sugar uptake with increasing sugar concentrations showed saturation kinetics with an apparent Km of 1.25 X 10(-5) M for glucose and 5 X 10(-3) M for xylose. Concomitant with the production of solvents, the activities of the glucose and xylose transport systems decreased. Among the main products of fermentation, butanol was shown to be a potent inhibitor of the growth of the organism and of the rate of sugar uptake as well as of sugar incorporation into cell materials. These inhibitory effects of butanol were more pronounced in xylose-grown cells than in glucose-grown cells. Butanol completely inhibited growth at a concentration of 14 g/liter for cultures growing on glucose and 8 g/liter for cultures growing on xylose. Concentrations of 7 and 10.5 g/liter of butanol caused a 50% inhibition of the xylose and glucose incorporations into cell materials. These inhibitory levels of butanol were found in typical glucose or xylose fermentation. 相似文献

Summary Two types of polysaccharides were separated from the extracellular polysaccharide produced by Anabaena flos-aquae A-37 by ion exchange chromatography. The neutral polysaccharide is composed of mainly glucose with minor amounts of xylose in a molar ratio of 8:1. Glucose is believed to constitute the polysaccharide core to which xylose is attached. The acidic polysaccharide is composed of glucose and uronic acid as the major monomers with equal amounts of xylose and ribose as the minor constituents. The molar ratio of the monomers found in the acidic polymer is 6:1:1:10 as glucose: xylose: ribose: uronic acid. Chemical analyses showed that the extracellular polysaccharide consists of more neutral polymer (62%) than the acidic polymer (38%). 相似文献

Corynebacterium glutamicum strains NC-2 were able to grow on xylose as sole carbon sources in our previous work. Nevertheless, it exhibited the major shortcoming that the xylose consumption was repressed in the presence of glucose. So far, regarding C. glutamicum, there are a number of reports on ptsG gene, the glucose-specific transporter, involved in glucose metabolism. Recently, we found ptsG had influence on xylose utilization and investigated the ptsG gene in response to xylose utilization in C. glutamicum with the aim to improve xylose consumption and simultaneously utilized glucose and xylose. The ptsG-deficient mutant could grow on xylose, while exhibiting noticeably reduced growth on xylose as sole carbon source. A mutant deficient in ptsH, a general PTS gene, exhibited a similar phenomenon. When complementing ptsG gene, the mutant ΔptsG-ptsG restored the ability to grow on xylose similarly to NC-2. These indicate that ptsG gene is not only essential for metabolism on glucose but also important in xylose utilization. A ptsG-overexpressing recombinant strain could not accelerate glucose or xylose metabolism. When strains were aerobically cultured in a sugar mixture of glucose and xylose, glucose and xylose could not be utilized simultaneously. Interestingly, the ΔptsG strain could co-utilize glucose and xylose under oxygen-deprived conditions, though the consumption rate of glucose and xylose dramatically declined. It was the first report of ptsG gene in response to xylose utilization in C. glutamicum. 相似文献

Modification of ethanol productivity and yield, using mineral medium supplemented with glucose or xylose as carbon sources, was studied in ethanologenic Escherichia coli KO11 by increasing the activity of five key carbon metabolism enzymes. KO11 efficiently converted glucose or xylose to ethanol with a yield close to 100% of the theoretical maximum when growing in rich medium. However, when KO11 ferments glucose or xylose in mineral medium, the ethanol yields decreased to only 70 and 60%, respectively. An increase in GALP(Ec) (permease of galactose-glucose-xylose) or PGK(Ec) (phosphoglycerate kinase) activities did not change xylose or glucose and ethanol flux. However, when PDC(Zm) (pyruvate decarboxylase from Zymomonas mobilis) activity was increased 7-fold, the yields of ethanol from glucose or xylose were increased to 85 and 75%, respectively, and organic acid formation rates were reduced. Furthermore, as a response to a reduction in acetate and ATP yield, and a limited PDC(Zm) activity, an increase in PFK(Ec) (phosphofructokinase) or PYK(Bs) (pyruvate kinase from Bacillus stearothermophilus) activity drastically reduced glucose or xylose consumption and ethanol formation flux. This experimental metabolic control analysis showed that ethanol flux in KO11 is negatively controlled by phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase, and positively influenced by the PDC(Zm) activity level. 相似文献

Xylose transport, xylose reductase, and xylitol dehydrogenase activities are demonstrated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The enzymes in the xylose catabolic pathway necessary for the conversion of xylose to xylulose are present, although S. cerevisiae cannot grow on xylose as a sole carbon source. Xylose transport is less efficient than glucose transport, and its rate is dependent upon aeration. Xylose reductase appears to be a xylose inducible enzyme and xylitol dehydrogenase activity is constitutive, although both are repressed by glucose. Both xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase activities are five- to tenfold lower in S. cerevisiae as compared to Candida utilis. In vivo conversion of (14)C-xylose in S. cerevisiae is demonstrated and xylitol is detected, although no significant levels of any other (14)C-labeled metabolites (e. g., ethanol) are observed. 相似文献

Xylose is, after glucose, the dominant sugar in agricultural wastes. In anaerobic environments, carbohydrates are converted
into volatile fatty acids and alcohols. These can be used as building blocks in biotechnological or chemical processes, e.g.,
to produce bioplastics. In this study, xylose fermentation by mixed microbial cultures was investigated and compared with
glucose under the same conditions. The product spectrum obtained with both substrates was comparable. It was observed that,
in the case of xylose, a higher fraction of the carbon was converted into catabolic products (butyrate, acetate, and ethanol)
and the biomass yield was approximately 20% lower than on glucose, 0.16 versus 0.21 Cmol X/Cmol S. This lower yield is likely
related to the need of an extra ATP during xylose uptake. When submitted to a pulse of glucose, the population cultivated
on xylose could instantaneously convert the glucose. No substrate preference was observed when glucose and xylose were fed
simultaneously to the continuously operated bioreactor. 相似文献
