Chitinase is one of the most important enzymes due to its diversity and a variety of potential uses. This study is an attempt to enhance chitinase production for antifungal biocontrol by subjecting Bacillus thuringiensis NM101-19 strain grown on shrimp shell wastes to various doses of gamma irradiation. Six mutants (BM-4, BM-6, BM-8, BM-12, BM-15, and BM-17) obtained at gamma ray doses of 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 and 140 Gy, respectively produced higher levels of chitinolytic activities in comparision to the wild-type strain. The BM-15 mutant strain showed the highest chitinase production (65.41 U/mL) which was 2.60 times more than the wild type (25.11 U/mL). Biocontrol efficacy of the mutants was statistically superior to the wild-type strain against all tested phytopathogens. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) PCR techniques, with five primers for each, were used in order to detect the variation in DNA profile between the mutant and wild-type strains in response to gamma-radiation treatments. RAPD and ISSR analysis indicated the appearance and disappearance of DNA polymorphic bands at different gamma ray doses. The results confirmed that the mutagenesis technique is a potent strategy to enhance the chitinase activity for industrial and agricultural purposes.  相似文献

The present study investigated the synergistic effect of nutritional supplements (amino acid and Tween 80) on lactic acid production by Lactobacillus delbruckii utilizing a sugar refinery by product (cane molasses) in a submerged fermentation process. Initially, the effect of individual factors on lactic acid yield was studied by supplementing amino acids and their combinations, Tween 80 and cane molasses at varying concentrations in production medium. A combination of l-phenylalanine and l-lysine gave a maximum lactic acid yield of 47.89?±?0.1 g/L on a dry cell weight basis at individual factor level. Similarly, maximum lactic acid yield was obtained by supplementing the production medium with 40.0 g/L and 2.0 g/L Tween 80 and cane molasses, respectively, at individual factor level. In order to further improve the lactic acid yield, nutritional supplements were optimized by central composite rotatable design (CCRD) using Minitab 15 software. Shake flask cultivation under optimized conditions, i.e., cane molasses (32.40 g/L), Tween 80 (2.0 g/L) and l-phenylalanine and l-lysine (34.0 mg/L) gave a lactic acid yield of 64.86?±?0.2 g/L, corresponding to 95.0 % of the predicted yield of 67.78?±?0.3 g/L. Batch cultivation performed in 7.5 L bioreactor (working volume: 3.0 L) under optimized conditions gave maximum lactic acid yield and productivity of 79.12?±?0.2 g/L and 3.40 g/L·h, which is higher than previous studies with reduced fermentation time. Screening of lactic acid producing bacteria and characterization of lactic acid was also done.  相似文献

Genome shuffling is a powerful strategy for rapid engineering of microbial strains for desirable industrial phenotypes. Here we applied the genome shuffling to improve the glucose tolerance of Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC 11443 while simultaneously enhancing the L-lactic acid production. The starting population was generated by ultraviolet irradiation and nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis and then subjected for the recursive protoplast fusion. The positive colonies from library created by fusing the inactivated protoplasts were more likely to be screened on plates containing different concentrations of high glucose and 2% CaCO(3). Characterization of all mutants and wild-type strain in the shake flask indicated the compatibility of two optimal phenotypes of glucose tolerance and lactic acid enhancement. The lactic acid production, cell growth and glucose consumption of the best performing strain from the second round genome shuffled populations were 71.4%, 44.9% and 62.2% higher than those of the wild type at the initial glucose concentration of 150 g/l in the 16l bioreactor. Furthermore, the higher lactic acid concentrations were obtained when the initial glucose concentrations increased to 160 and 200 g/l in batch fermentation.  相似文献

The effects of four salt nutrients (ammonium citrate, sodium phosphate, magnesium sulfate, and manganese sulfate) on the production of mannitol by Lactobacillus intermedius NRRL B-3693 in a simplified medium containing 300 g fructose, 5 g soy peptone, and 50 g corn steep liquor per liter in pH-controlled fermentation at 5.0 at 37°C were evaluated using a fractional factorial design. Only manganese sulfate was found to be essential for mannitol production. Added manganese sulfate concentration of 0.033 g/l was found to support maximum production. The bacterium produced 200.6±0.2 g mannitol, 61.9±0.1 g lactic acid, and 40.4±0.3 g acetic acid from 300 g fructose per liter in 67 h.Mention of trade names or commercial products in this article is solely for the purpose of providing specific information and does not imply recommendation or endorsement by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.  相似文献

A strain development program was initiated to improve the tolerance of the pentose-fermenting yeast Pachysolen tannophilus to inhibitors in lignocellulosic hydrolysates. Several rounds of UV mutagenesis followed by screening were used to select for mutants of P. tannophilus NRRL Y2460 with improved tolerance to hardwood spent sulfite liquor (HW SSL) and acetic acid in separate selection lines. The wild type (WT) strain grew in 50 % (v/v) HW SSL while third round HW SSL mutants (designated UHW301, UHW302 and UHW303) grew in 60 % (v/v) HW SSL, with two of these isolates (UHW302 and UHW303) being viable and growing, respectively, in 70 % (v/v) HW SSL. In defined liquid media containing acetic acid, the WT strain grew in 0.70 % (w/v) acetic acid, while third round acetic acid mutants (designated UAA301, UAA302 and UAA303) grew in 0.80 % (w/v) acetic acid, with one isolate (UAA302) growing in 0.90 % (w/v) acetic acid. Cross-tolerance of HW SSL-tolerant mutants to acetic acid and vice versa was observed with UHW303 able to grow in 0.90 % (w/v) acetic acid and UAA302 growing in 60 % (v/v) HW SSL. The UV-induced mutants retained the ability to ferment glucose and xylose to ethanol in defined media. These mutants of P. tannophilus are of considerable interest for bioconversion of the sugars in lignocellulosic hydrolysates to ethanol.  相似文献

The effect of pH and dilution rate on the production of extracellular metabolites of Lactobacillus salivarius UCO_979 was studied. The experiments were carried out in continuous mode, with chemically defined culture medium at a temperature of 37 °C, 200 rpm agitation and synthetic air flow of 100 ml/min. Ethanol, acetic acid, formic acid, lactic acid and glucose were quantified through HPLC, while exopolysaccharide (EPS) was extracted with ethanol and quantified through the Dubois method. The results showed no linear trends for the specific production of lactic acid, EPS, acetic acid and ethanol, while the specific glucose consumption and ATP production rates showed linear trends. There was a metabolic change of the strain for dilution rates below 0.3 h?1. The pH had a significant effect on the metabolism of the strain, which was evidenced by a higher specific glucose consumption and increased production of ATP at pH 6 compared with that obtained at pH 7. This work shows not only the metabolic capabilities of L. salivarius UCO_979C, but also shows that it is possible to quantify some molecules associated with its current use as gastrointestinal probiotic, especially regarding the production of organic acids and EPS.  相似文献

Lactobacillus intermedius NRRL B-3693 produced mannitol, lactic acid, and acetic acid when grown on fructose at 37°C. The optimal pH for mannitol production from fructose by the heterofermentative lactic acid bacterium (LAB) in pH-controlled fermentation was at pH 5.0. It produced 160.7 ± 1.1 g mannitol in 40 h with a volumetric productivity of 4.0 g l−1 h−1 in a simplified medium containing 250 g fructose, 50 g corn steep liquor (CSL), and 33 mg MnSO4 per liter. However, the mannitol production by the LAB was severely affected by the variability of CSL. The supplementation of CSL with soy peptone (5 g/l), tryptophan (50 mg/l), tryptophan (50 mg/l) plus tyrosine (50 mg/l), or commercial protease preparation (2 ml/100 g of CSL) enhanced the performance of the inferior CSL and thus helped to overcome the nutrient limitations.  相似文献

Five experiments were conducted to either ferment fresh shrimp or crab waste with molasses, molasses and bacterial inoculant, or to preserve it with salt. Experiment 1 was a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement. Crab waste was combined with 0, 5, 10, or 15% liquid molasses, and stored in mini-silos (15 l) with or without lids for 14 days. The addition of molasses slightly decreased pH and offensive odors; mini-silo temperatures without lids were higher than those with lids. Experiment 2 was a 5 × 2 factorial arrangement designed to enhance fermentation. Fresh shrimp waste was combined with 0, 10, 15, 20, or 25% dry molasses and 0 or 1.0 × 108 colony forming bacteria/g inoculant and ensiled for six days. As the level of molasses increased, dry matter and lactic acid increased but, the pH, crude protein, ammonia acetic, butyric, and propionic acid concentrations decreased. Significant molasses by inoculant interactions occurred which were highly variable for each acid. Evidence of fermentation was supported by production of lactic acid at all levels of molasses. The pH decreased from 7.7 in the untreated waste to an average of 7.4 for the 10, 15 and 20% molasses treated wastes to 6.8 in the 25% molasses treated waste. The high pH was an indication that the waste may be unstable with longer storage (> 6 days). Therefore, in Experiment 3, designed as a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement, shrimp waste treated with 15 and 20% molasses, with or without inoculant was ensiled for 21 days to test stability. By day 21, shrimp waste had deteriorated as indicated by a mean pH of 7.5, low lactic acid, and high butyric acid concentration, an unacceptable odor, and the presence of mold on the surface of the samples.In Experiments 4 and 5, shrimp or crab waste was combined with salt at 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, and 12.5%. Increasing levels of salt decreased crude protein percent, ammonia concentration, and lactic and volatile fatty acids while increasing the pH and improving the acceptability of the odors in both the shrimp and crab wastes. Treatment of crustacean waste with 7.5% or greater salt was more effective at preserving crude protein and minimizing odor than either dry or liquid molasses.  相似文献

An attempt was made to use cane molasses as a culture medium for ε-PolyLysine (ε-PL) production by a natural bacterial isolate. The bacterium was identified as Bacillus sp., as confirmed by 16S rDNA sequence analysis. A BLAST result of the sequence indicated that the closest relative of this Bacillus BHU strain was B. thuringiensis, with 97 % homology. The molasses was found to be a better culture medium compared to commonly used culture media comprised of either glucose or glycerol as a carbon source. The various physicochemical parameters were studied for culture growth and polymer production, and were further optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). The correlation coefficient of the resulting model was found to be R 2?=?0.9828. The RSM predicted optimum conditions for ε-PL production (2.46 g/l) by the Bacillus strain was achieved by using molasses, 59.7 g/l; yeast extract, 15.2 mg/l; pH, 6.8 and fermentation time, 42 h at 30 °C. This study represents the first report on the potential application of cane molasses (a byproduct of sugarcane industries) as a culture medium for ε-PL production by Bacillus species. The specific Bacillus strain used in the present study can be exploited for developing a novel technology using inexpensive renewable resources for ε-PL production, a polymer of commercial interest.  相似文献

Mannitol is a natural polyol extensively used in the food industry as low-calorie sugar being applicable for diabetic food products. We aimed to evaluate mannitol production by Lactobacillus reuteri CRL 1101 using sugarcane molasses as low-cost energy source. Mannitol formation was studied in free-pH batch cultures using 3-10% (w/v) molasses concentrations at 37?°C and 30?°C under static and agitated conditions during 48?h. L. reuteri CRL 1101 grew well in all assayed media and heterofermentatively converted glucose into lactic and acetic acids and ethanol. Fructose was used as an alternative electron acceptor and reduced it to mannitol in all media assayed. Maximum mannitol concentrations of 177.7?±?26.6 and 184.5?±?22.5?mM were found using 7.5% and 10% molasses, respectively, at 37?°C after 24-h incubation. Increasing the molasses concentration from 7.5% up to 10% (w/v) and the fermentation period up to 48?h did not significantly improve mannitol production. In agitated cultures, high mannitol values (144.8?±?39.7?mM) were attained at 8?h of fermentation as compared to static ones (5.6?±?2.9?mM), the highest mannitol concentration value (211.3?±?15.5?mM) being found after 24?h. Mannitol 2-dehydrogenase (MDH) activity was measured during growth in all fermentations assayed; the highest MDH values were obtained during the log growth phase, and no correlation between MDH activities and mannitol production was observed in the fermentations performed. L. reuteri CRL 1101 successfully produced mannitol from sugarcane molasses being a promising candidate for microbial mannitol synthesis using low-cost substrate.  相似文献

Strains of Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Pediococcus pentosaceus, and Lactobacillus brevis were identified from mango fruits by partial 16S rDNA gene sequence. Based on the ability of producing mannitol and diacetyl, Leuconostoc mesenteroides MPL18 and MPL39 were selected within the lactic acid bacteria isolates, and used as mixed starters to ferment mango juice (MJ). Both the autochthonous strains grew well in fermented mango juice (FMJ) and remained viable at 9.81 log cfu mL?1 during 30 days of storage at 4°C. The content of total sugar of FMJ was lower than that of MJ, while the concentration of mannitol was higher than that of MJ, and the concentration of diacetyl was 3.29 ± 0.12 mg L?1. Among detected organic acids including citric acid, gallic acid, lactic acid, and acetic acid, only citric acid and gallic acid were found in MJ, while all detected organic acids were found in FMJ. The concentration of lactic acid of FMJ was the highest (78.62 ± 13.66 mM) among all detected organic acids. The DPPH radical scavenging capacity of FMJ was higher than that of MJ. Total phenolic compounds were better preserved in FMJ. The acidity and sweetness had a noticeable impact on the overall acceptance of the treated sample.  相似文献

Objectives

To improve the production of 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) in Klebsiella pneumoniae, the genes related to the formation of lactic acid, ethanol, and acetic acid were eliminated.

Results

Although the cell growth and 2,3-BD production rates of the K. pneumoniae ΔldhA ΔadhE Δpta-ackA strain were lower than those of the wild-type strain, the mutant produced a higher titer of 2,3-BD and a higher yield in batch fermentation: 91 g 2,3-BD/l with a yield of 0.45 g per g glucose and a productivity of 1.62 g/l.h in fed-batch fermentation. The metabolic characteristics of the mutants were consistent with the results of in silico simulation.

Conclusions

K. pneumoniae knockout mutants developed with an aid of in silico investigation could produce higher amounts of 2,3-BD with increased titer, yield, and productivity.

This report describes an efficient and reproducible protocol for large-scale multiplication of Hedychium coronarium plantlets. Axillary bud explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 3 mg/l benzylaminopurine, 3 mg/l kinetin (KIN), and 0.2 mg/l thidiazuron, yielding a maximum of 13.2 ± 0.3 number of shoots. Sub-culturing of shoots every 4 weeks on fresh multiplication medium yielded a consistent proliferation rate. Shoot clusters containing three to five shoots were successfully rooted in KIN (3 mg/l) and indole acetic acid (0.5 mg/l), yielding a maximum of 6.3 ± 0.5 number of roots. Plantlets grown in vitro were acclimatized and subsequently transferred to the field for phenotypic evaluation. Random amplified polymorphic DNA and inter-simple sequence repeat analysis has confirmed the genetic uniformity of in vitro plantlets up to 2 years. After 2 years, these plantlets were transplanted to field, and evaluation of phenotypic characteristics was done. This study is of high significance as these could be commercially utilized for large-scale production of true-to-type plantlets.  相似文献

Three thermophilic Clostridium strains were isolated from soil as cellulose-fermenting bacteria wich produced ethanol, lactic acid, and acetic acid from cellulose at 60°C. To increase ethanol productivity, strains no. 187 was mutated with N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosguanidine. The resultant mutant, no 187-102-27, was superior to the original strain in ethanol production, and produced less lactic and acetic acid. The activities of some enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of the lactic and acetic acid of mutant no. 187-102-27 were lower than those of the original strain. These results are highly consistent with the acid production of the mutant strain being low.  相似文献

Abstract

The experiment was conducted to study the effects of fermentation of barley, using two different strains of lactic acid bacteria, a Lactobacillus plantarum/pentosus strain isolated from spontaneously fermented rye sourdough (AD2) and a starch-degrading Lactobacillus plantarum (AM4), on contents of mixed-linked (1 → 3) (1 → 4)-β-glucans, α-amylase inhibitor activity, inositol phosphates, and apparent digestibility of macronutrients in mink. Effects of fermentation were compared with effects of gamma irradiation (γ-irradiation: 60Co γ-rays at 25 kGy). The diets were fed to mink with and without a supplementary enzyme preparation. Both lactic acid fermentation and γ-irradiation followed by soaking and incubation, reduced concentrations of soluble β-glucans, phytate and α-amylase inhibitor activity. Dietary enzyme supplementation increased significantly digestibility of crude protein, fat, starch and crude carbohydrate (CHO). Fermentation of the barley increased digestibility of starch and CHO. Fermentation with lactic acid bacteria AD2 resulted in higher starch and CHO digestibility than strain AM4, and had greater effect than γ-irradiation, soaking and incubation. The highest digestibility of starch and CHO was obtained after AD2 fermentation followed by enzyme supplementation. It is concluded that both lactic acid fermentation of barley and enzyme supplementation have positive nutritional implications in the mink by limiting the effects of antinutrients and improving digestibility and energy utilization.  相似文献

Interest in the use of corncobs as feedstock for bioethanol production is growing. This study assesses the feasibility of sequential thermochemical diluted sulfuric acid pretreatment of corncobs at moderate temperature to hydrolyze the hemicellulosic fraction, followed by enzymatic hydrolysis of the whole slurry, and fermentation of the obtained syrup. The total sugar concentration after enzymatic hydrolysis was 85.21 g/l, i.e., 86 % of the sugars were liberated from the polymeric fractions, together with a low amount of furfural (0.26 g/l) and 4.01 g/l of acetic acid. The syrups, which contained 36.3, 40.9, 4.47, and 1.84 g/l of xylose, glucose, arabinose, and mannose, respectively, were fermented (pH 7, 37 °C, 150 rpm) to ethanol with the metabolically engineered acetate-tolerant Escherichia coli strain MS04 under non-aerated conditions, producing 35 g/l of ethanol in 18 h (1.94 gEtOH/l/h), i.e., a conversion yield greater than 80 % of the theoretical value based on total sugars was obtained. Hence, using the procedures developed in this study, 288 l of ethanol can be produced per metric ton of dry corncobs. Strain MS04 can ferment sugars in the presence of acetate, and the amount of furans generated during the sequential thermochemical and enzymatic hydrolysis was low; hence, the detoxification step was avoided. The residual salts, acetic acid, and solubilized lignin present in the syrup did not interfere with the production of ethanol by E. coli MS04 and the results show that this strain can metabolize mixtures of glucose and xylose simultaneously.  相似文献

Production of lactic acid from beet molasses by Lactobacillus delbrueckii NCIMB 8130 in static and shake flask fermentation was investigated. Shake flasks proved to be a better fermentation system for this purpose. Substitution of yeast extract with other low cost protein sources did not improve lactic acid production. The maximum lactic acid concentration was achieved without treatment of molasses. A Central Composite Design was employed to determine the maximum lactic acid concentration at optimum values for the process variables (sucrose, yeast extract, CaCO3). A satisfactory fit of the model was realized. Lactic acid production was significantly affected both by sucrose–yeast extract and sucrose–CaCO3 interactions, as well as by the negative quadratic effects of these variables. Sucrose and yeast extract had a linear effect on lactic acid production while the CaCO3 had no significant linear effect. The maximum lactic acid concentration (88.0 g/l) was obtained at concentrations for sucrose, yeast extract and CaCO3 of 89.93, 45.71 and 59.95 g/l, respectively.  相似文献
