Previous investigations have identified a quantitatively major intermediate of lignin degradation by Streptomyces viridosporus. The intermediate, a modified lignin polymer, acid-precipitable polymeric lignin (APPL), is released as a water-soluble catabolite and has been recovered in amounts equivalent to 30% of the lignin originally present in a corn stover lignocellulose substrate after degradation by this actinomycete. In the present work, APPLs were collected at various time intervals from cultures of two highly ligninolytic Streptomyces sp. strains, S. viridosporus T7A and S. badius 252, growing on corn stover lignocellulose. APPL production was measured over time, and the chemistry of APPLs produced by each organism after different time intervals was compared. Chemical characterizations included assays for lignin, carbohydrate, and ash contents, molecular weight distributions by gel permeation chromatography, and chemical degradation analyses by permanganate oxidation, acidolysis, and alkaline ester hydrolysis. Differences between the organisms were observed in the cultural conditions required for APPL production and in the time courses of APPL accumulation. S. viridosporus produced APPL in solid-state fermentation over a 6- to 8-week incubation period, whereas S. badius produced as much or more APPL, but only in liquid culture and over a 7- to 8-day incubation period. The chemistry of the APPLs produced also differed. S. viridosporus APPL was more lignin-like than that of S. badius and was slowly modified further over time, although no change in molecular weight distribution over time was observed. In contrast, S. badius APPL was less lignin-like and increased substantially in average molecular weight over time. Results indicated that differing mechanisms of lignin metabolism may exist in these two Streptomyces sp. strains. S. viridosporus APPL probably originates from the heart of the lignin and is released largely as the result of β-ether cleavage and other oxidative reactions. S. badius APPL probably originates in the same manner; however, after release as a water-soluble catabolite, lower-molecular-weight intermediates of lignin degradation are repolymerized with APPL in a reaction catalyzed by an extracellular phenol oxidase. The chemical analyses and the presence of extracellular phenol oxidase in S. badius, but not in S. viridosporus, support this conclusion. 相似文献

Protoplast fusion was investigated as a technique for genetically manipulating two lignin-degrading Streptomyces strains, Streptomyces viridosporus T7A and Streptomyces setonii 75Vi2. Four of 19 recombinants tested showed enhanced production of acid-precipitable polymeric lignin (APPL), producing 155 to 264% more APPL from corn stover lignocellulose than was produced by the wild-type S. viridosporus T7A. APPLs are lignin degradation intermediates known to be potentially valuable chemical products produced by bioconversion of lignin with Streptomyces spp. The prospects of utilizing protoplast fusion to construct APPL-overproducing Streptomyces strains was considered especially promising. 相似文献

Lignin degrading strains of Streptomyces were grown on lignocelluloses from a variety of plant sources. These actinomycetes readily degraded the lignin present in the residues and released a major portion of the lignin into the growth medium as a water soluble, modified polymer. The polymer, an acid precipitable polyphenolic lignin (APPL), was recovered from spent culture media by acid precipitation or dialysis/lyophilization. APPL's were shown to be mostly free of nonlignin components. As compared to native lignin they were more oxidized, were especially enriched in phenolic hydroxyl groups, and were significantly reduced in methoxyl groups. The yield of APPL from different lignocelluloses correlated with their biodegradability. Grasses such as corn stover were the optimal lignocellulose type for APPL production by Streptomyces. In contrast white-rot fungi produced only small amounts of APPL as they decomposed lignin. A solid state bioconversion process was developed using Streptomyces viridosporus T7A to produce APPL from corn stover lignocellulose in yields >or= 30% of the initial lignin present in the substrate. APPL produced by S. viridosporus was examined for its properties and possible use as an antioxidant. The APPL was shown to have good antioxidant properties after mild chemical treatment to reduce the alpha-carbonyl groups present in the APPL. Oxidation of the APPL with hydroxyl radical (OH(*)) further improved its antioxidant properties probably as the result of aromatic ring hydroxylation reactions. As compared with currently used commercial antioxidants, the modified APPL was thought to be competitive when economics of production was considered. Native lignin on the other hand was shown to exhibit no antioxidant properties, even after reduction and/or oxidation. 相似文献

A new, quantitatively significant intermediate formed during lignin degradation by Streptomyces viridosporus T7A was isolated and characterized. In Streptomyces-inoculated cultures, the intermediate, an acid-precipitable, polyphenolic, polymeric lignin (APPL), accumulated in the growth medium. The APPL was a water-soluble polymer probably consisting of a heterogeneous mixture of molecular weight components of ≥20,000. APPLs were precipitable from culture filtrates after they had been acidified to pH <3 to 5. Noninoculated controls yielded little APPL, but supernatant solutions from inoculated cultures produced quantities of APPL that correlated with the biodegradability of the lignocellulose type. Maximal recovery of APPL was obtained from corn lignocellulose, reaching 30% of the initial lignin present in the substrate. APPLs contained small amounts of carbohydrate, organic nitrogen, and inorganic materials. The lignin origin of APPLs was confirmed by chemical analyses, which included acidolysis, permanganate oxidation, elemental analyses, functional group analyses, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and 14C isotopic techniques. Analyses of APPLs from corn lignocelluloses showed that S. viridosporus-degraded APPLs were lignin derived but significantly different in structure from APPLs derived from uninoculated controls or from a standard corn milled-wood lignin. Degraded APPLs were enriched in phenolic hydroxyl groups and, to a small extent, in carboxyl groups. Degradative changes appeared to be largely oxidative and were thought to involve substantial cleavage of p-hydroxy ether linkages and methoxyl groups in the lignin. 相似文献

The lignocellulose-degrading abilities of 11 novel actinomycete strains isolated from termite gut were determined and compared with that of the well-characterized actinomycete, Streptomyces viridosporus T7A. Lignocellulose bioconversion was followed by (i) monitoring the degradation of [14C]lignin- and [14C]cellulose-labeled phloem of Abies concolor to 14CO2 and 14C-labeled water-soluble products, (ii) determining lignocellulose, lignin, and carbohydrate losses resulting from growth on a lignocellulose substrate prepared from corn stalks (Zea mays), and (iii) quantifying production of a water-soluble lignin degradation intermediate (acid-precipitable polymeric lignin). The actinomycetes were all Streptomyces strains and could be placed into three groups, including a group of five strains that appear superior to S. viridosporus T7A in lignocellulose-degrading ability, three strains of approximately equal ability, and three strains of lesser ability. Strain A2 was clearly the superior and most effective lignocellulose decomposer of those tested. Of the assays used, total lignocellulose weight loss was most useful in determining overall bioconversion ability but not in identifying the best lignin-solubilizing strains. A screening procedure based on 14CO2 evolution from [14C-lignin]lignocellulose combined with measurement of acid-precipitable polymeric lignin yield was the most effective in identifying lignin-solubilizing strains. For the termite gut strains, the pH of the medium showed no increase after 3 weeks of growth on lignocellulose. This is markedly different from the pattern observed with S. viridosporus T7A, which raises the medium pH considerably. Production of extracellular peroxidases by the 11 strains and S. viridosporus T7A was followed for 5 days in liquid cultures.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Lignocellulose degradation by Streptomyces viridosporus results in the oxidative depolymerization of lignin and the production of a water-soluble lignin polymer, acid-precipitable polymeric lignin (APPL). The effects of the culture pH on lignin and cellulose metabolism and APPL production by S. viridosporus are reported. Dry, ground, hot-water-extracted corn (Zea mays) lignocellulose was autoclaved in 1-liter reagent bottles (5 g per bottle) and inoculated with 50-ml volumes of S. viridosporus cells suspended in buffers of specific pH (pH 6.0 to 9.2 at 0.4 pH unit intervals). Four replicates of inoculated cultures and of uninoculated controls at each pH were incubated as solid-state fermentations at 37°C. After 6 weeks of incubation the percent loss of lignocellulose, lignin, and carbohydrate and the amount of APPL produced were determined for each replicate. Optimal lignocellulose degradation, as shown by substrate weight loss, was observed in the pH range of 8.4 to 8.8. Only minor differences were seen in the Klason lignin, carbohydrate, protein, and ash contents of the APPLS produced by cultures at each pH. The effects of pH on the degradation of a spruce (Picea pungens) [14C-lignin]lignocellulose and a Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) [14C-glucan]-lignocellulose were also determined at pH values between 6.5 and 9.5 (0.5 pH unit intervals). The incubations were carried out for 3 weeks at 37°C with bubbler-tube cultures. The percentage of initial 14C recovered as 14CO2, 14C-labeled water-soluble products, and [14C]APPL was then determined. The mineralization of lignin and cellulose to CO2 was optimal at pHs 6.5 and 7.0, respectively. However, the optimum for lignin and cellulose solubilization was pH 8.5, which correlated with the pH 8.5 optimum for APPL production. Overall, the data show that, whereas lignin mineralization is optimal at neutral to slightly acidic pHs, lignocellulose degradation with lignin solubilization and APPL production is promoted by alkaline pHs. These findings indicate that lignin-solubilizing actinomycetes may play an important role in the metabolism of lignin in neutral to alkaline soils in which ligninolytic fungi are not highly competitive. 相似文献

Degradation of Kraft Indulin Lignin by Streptomyces viridosporus and Streptomyces badius 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Crawford and collaborators have studied extensively the solubilization of lignocellulose by two Streptomyces species, S. badius and S. viridosporus. Using a condensed industrial lignin essentially devoid of carbohydrates, Indulin AT, as the sole source of carbon, similar results were obtained: (i) the growths of the bacteria were optimum at pH 7.5 to 8.5; (ii) yeast extract was a better source of nitrogen than NH(4)Cl; (iii) the products of the depolymerization of Indulin were soluble, acid-precipitable polymers. When d-glucose was added as a secondary carbon source, it was used preferentially and the production of acid-precipitable polymers began only after the complete depletion of the sugar. On the assumption that the degradation of Indulin was catalyzed by enzymes, proteins found in the culture media and soluble and insoluble intracellular proteins were incubated with Indulin at pH 7.0 at 37 degrees C. Proteins in all fractions from S. badius had ligninolytic activities which, with the exception of those in the intracellular soluble fraction, were increased in the presence of H(2)O(2). In S. viridosporus, both extra- and intracellular soluble activities were found which were not increased by H(2)O(2). The extracellular activity of S. viridosporus was not affected by heat, resisted partially an exposure to pH 1.0, and was completely destroyed by proteolysis. 相似文献

The wild-type ligninolytic actinomycete Streptomyces viridosporus T7A and two genetically manipulated strains with enhanced abilities to produce a water-soluble lignin degradation intermediate, an acid-precipitable polymeric lignin (APPL), were grown on lignocellulose in solid-state fermentation cultures. Culture filtrates were periodically collected, analyzed for APPL, and assayed for extracellular lignocellulose-catabolizing enzyme activities. Isoenzymes were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and activity staining on the gels. Two APPL-overproducing strains, UV irradiation mutant T7A-81 and protoplast fusion recombinant SR-10, had higher and longer persisting peroxidase, esterase, and endoglucanase activities than did the wild-type strain T7A. Results implicated one or more of these enzymes in lignin solubilization. Only mutant T7A-81 had higher xylanase activity than the wild type. The peroxidase was induced by both lignocellulose and APPL. This extracellular enzyme has some similarities to previously described ligninases in fungi. This is the first report of such an enzyme in Streptomyces spp. Four peroxidase isozymes were present, and all catalyzed the oxidation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, while one also catalyzed hydrogen peroxide-dependent oxidation of homoprotocatechuic acid and caffeic acid. Three constitutive esterase isozymes were produced which differed in substrate specificity toward α-naphthyl acetate and α-naphthyl butyrate. Three endoglucanase bands, which also exhibited a low level of xylanase activity, were identified on polyacrylamide gels as was one xylanase-specific band. There were no major differences in the isoenzymes produced by the different strains. The probable role of each enzyme in lignocellulose degradation is discussed. 相似文献

Degradation of ground and hot-water-extracted corn stover (Zea mays) lignocellulose by Streptomyces viridosporus T7A generates a water-soluble lignin degradation intermediate termed acid-precipitable polymeric lignin (APPL). The further catabolism of T7A-APPL by S. viridosporus T7A, S. badius 252, and S. setonii 75Vi2 was followed for 3 weeks in aerated shake flask cultures at 37°C in a yeast extract-glucose medium containing 0.05% (wt/vol) T7A-APPL. APPL catabolism by Phanerochaete chrysosporium was followed in stationary cultures in a low-nitrogen medium containing 1% (wt/vol) glucose and 0.05% (wt/vol) T7A-APPL. Metabolism of the APPL was followed by turbidometric assay (600 nm) and by direct measurement of APPL recoverable from the medium. Accumulation and disappearance of soluble low-molecular-weight products of APPL catabolism were followed by gas-liquid chromatography and by high-pressure liquid chromatography, utilizing a diode array detector. Identified and quantified compounds present in culture media included p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, protocatechuic acid, vanillic acid, and vanillin. The further catabolism of these APPL-derived aromatic compounds varied with the culture examined, and only S. setonii and P. chrysosporium completely degraded all of them. Some new intermediates of APPL metabolism also appeared in culture media, but the patterns were culture specific. Additional evidence from high-pressure liquid chromatography analyses indicated that one strain, S. badius, converted a water-soluble fraction evident by high-pressure liquid chromatography (7 to 10 min retention time range) into new products appearing at shorter retention times. Mineralization of a [14C-lignin]APPL was also followed. The percent 14C recovered as 14CO2, 14C-APPL, 14C-labeled water-soluble products, and cell mass-associated radioactivity, were determined for each microorganism after 1 and 3 weeks of incubation in bubbler tube cultures at 37°C. P. chrysosporium evolved the most 14CO2 (10%), and S. viridosporus gave the greatest decrease in recoverable 14C-APPL (23%). The results show that S. badius was not able to significantly degrade the APPL, while the other microorganisms demonstrated various APPL-degrading abilities. The significance of these findings relative to the fate of APPLs in nature was discussed. 相似文献

A lignin peroxidase gene was cloned from Streptomyces viridosporus T7A into Streptomyces lividans TK64 in plasmid pIJ702. BglII-digested genomic DNA (4-10 kb) of S. viridosporus was shotgun-cloned into S. lividans after insertion into the melanin (mel+) gene of pIJ702. Transformants expressing pIJ702 with insert DNA were selected based upon the appearance of thiostrepton resistant (tsrr)/mel-colonies on regeneration medium. Lignin peroxidase-expressing clones were isolated from this population by screening of transformants on a tsr-poly B-411 dye agar medium. In the presence of H2O2 excreted by S. lividans, colonies of lignin peroxidase-expressing clones decolorized the dye. Among 1000 transformants screened, 2 dye-decolorizing clones were found. One, pIJ702/TK64.1 (TK64.1), was further characterized. TK64.1 expressed significant extracellular 2,4-dichlorophenol (2.4-DCP) peroxidase activity (= assay for S. viridosporus lignin peroxidase). Under the cultural conditions employed, plasmidless S. lividans TK64 had a low background level of 2.4-DCP oxidizing activity. TK64.1 excreted an extracellular peroxidase not observed in S. lividans TK64, but similar to S. viridosporus lignin peroxidase ALip-P3, as shown by activity stain assays on nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels. The gene was located on a 4 kb fragment of S. viridosporus genomic DNA. When peroxidase-encoding plasmid, pIJ702.LP, was purified and used to transform three different S. lividans strains (TK64, TK23, TK24), all transformants tested decolorized poly B-411. When grown on lignocellulose in solid state processes, genetically engineered S. lividans TK64.1 degraded the lignocellulose slightly better than did S. lividans TK64. This is the first report of the cloning of a bacterial gene coding for a lignin-degrading enzyme. 相似文献

The ability of the ligninolytic actinomycete Streptomyces viridosporus T7A to degrade selected lignin model compounds, both in the presence and in the absence of lignocellulose, was examined. Compounds studied included benzyl alcohols and aldehydes, plus dimers possessing intermonomeric linkages, which are characteristic of the lignin macromolecule. Oxidation of veratryl alcohol to the corresponding acid was significant only under ligninolytic growth conditions, i.e., in medium containing lignocellulose, while other benzyl alcohols and aldehydes were readily oxidized in its absence. S. viridosporus T7A reduces carbonylic groups of 1,2-diarylethane, but not of 1,2-diarylpropane structures, under both ligninolytic and non-ligninolytic culture conditions. Cleavage of 1,2-diarylpropane (β-1), arylglycerol-β-arylether(β-0-4) and biphenyl structures by this strain could not be detected under either metabolic conditions. 相似文献

The actinomycete strain Streptomyces griseus B1 isolated from soil, when grown on cellulose powder as submerged culture produced high levels of all the three components i.e. filter paper lyase (FPase), CMCellulase and β-glucosidase of the cellulolytic enzyme system. FP activity and CMCellulase were present only extracellularly, while β-glucosidase was both intra- and extra-cellular. It produced highest FPase activity when grown on hardwood powder under submerged culture. It was unable to use lignin monomers (ferulic acid, vanillic acid and syringic acid) as carbon source. While growing on hardwood and softwood powders under solid-state conditions, it depleted them of cellulose (36.3 in the case of softwood and 14.4 in the case of hardwood). It also caused partial loss of lignin content in both the substrates by solubilizing them. These solubilized lignins could be recovered as acid precipitable polymeric lignins (APPL) from extracts of wood powders upon acidification. Extracts of inoculated wood powders yielded higher amounts of APPL than uninoculated controls. Also, the APPLs from Streptomyces-treated wood powders differed from control APPLs in their molecular weight distribution, as observed from their elution pattern using Sephadex G-100. 相似文献

Peroxidase-deficient mutants of the lignin-degrading bacterium Streptomyces viridosporus T7A were screened for their production of acid-precipitable polymeric lignin, extracellular peroxidases and esterases, and immunoreactivities against a polyclonal antibody produced against electrophoretically purified peroxidase isoform P3 of wild-type S. viridosporus. The mutants showed diminished abilities to solubilize lignin and produce acid-precipitable polymeric lignin. Their peroxidase activities were decreased, and their esterase production patterns were altered. Western immunoblots demonstrated that the mutants produced proteins immunologically reactive with the antibody, but with different mobilities from those of wild-type proteins. These findings confirm a direct role for peroxidases in lignin solubilization. They also indicate a possible role for esterases. 相似文献

Nine Streptomyces strains were screened for their ability to solubilise and mineralise 14C-labelled lignin during growth in solid-state fermentation. Streptomyces viridosporus was confirmed as an active lignin-degrading organism along with a new isolate, Streptomyces sp. UAH 15, further classified as Streptomyces cyaneus CECT 3335. This organism was able to solubilise and mineralise the [14C]lignin fraction of lignocellulose (44.96 ± 1.77% and 3.41 ± 0.48% respectively) after 21 days of incubation. Cell-free filtrates
from Streptomyces sp. grown in solid-state fermentation were capable of solubilising up to 20% of the [14C]lignin after 2 days incubation, with most of the product detected in the acid-soluble rather than in the water-soluble fraction.
Identification of the extracellular enzymes produced during growth of S. cyaneus CECT 3335 revealed that extracellular peroxidase and phenol oxidase activities were present, with the activity of phenol
oxidase being 100 times greater than peroxidase activity. The activity of these two enzymes was found to correlate with both
solubilisation and mineralisation rates. This is the first report of phenol oxidase activity produced by a Streptomyces strain during growth in solid-state fermentation. A role for the enzyme in the solubilisation and mineralisation of lignocellulose
by S. cyaneus is suggested.

Summary Two mutant strains of the lignin degrading bacterium Streptomyces viridosporus strain T7A with enhanced abilities to produce a soluble lignin degradation intermediate, acid-precipitable polymeric lignin (APPL) and several mutants derepressed for cellulase production were compared with the wild type to examine the roles of cellulase and selected other extracellular enzymes in lignin solubilization by S. viridosporus. The two APPL-overproducing mutants, T-81 and T-138, had higher cellulase activities than the wild type. Mutants specifically derepressed for cellulase were also isolated and were found to produce more APPL than the wild type. The results are indicative of some involvement of cellulase in the lignin solubilization process. The lignin solubilized from corn (Zea mays) lignocellulose by the mutants was slightly different chemically as compared to wild type solubilized lignin in that it had a higher coumaric acid ester content. The production of extracellular coumarate ester esterase, aromatic aldehyde oxidase, and xylanase was also examined in the mutants. Xylanase and aromatic aldehyde oxidase production did not differ significantly between the mutants and the wild type. Mutant T-81 was found to have a slightly lower activity for esterase as compared with the wild type. It was concluded that xylanase, oxidase and esterase are not the enzymes directly responsible for enhanced lignin solubilization. The results, however, do implicate cellulase in the process.Paper number 86 511 of the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station 相似文献
