The production of bio-based succinic acid is receiving great attention, and several predominantly prokaryotic organisms have been evaluated for this purpose. In this study we report on the suitability of the highly acid- and osmotolerant yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a succinic acid production host. We implemented a metabolic engineering strategy for the oxidative production of succinic acid in yeast by deletion of the genes SDH1, SDH2, IDH1 and IDP1. The engineered strains harbor a TCA cycle that is completely interrupted after the intermediates isocitrate and succinate. The strains show no serious growth constraints on glucose. In glucose-grown shake flask cultures, the quadruple deletion strain Δsdh1Δsdh2Δidh1Δidp1 produces succinic acid at a titer of 3.62 g L?1 (factor 4.8 compared to wild-type) at a yield of 0.11 mol (mol glucose)?1. Succinic acid is not accumulated intracellularly. This makes the yeast S. cerevisiae a suitable and promising candidate for the biotechnological production of succinic acid on an industrial scale. 相似文献

2,3-Butanediol is a promising valuable chemical that can be used in various areas as a liquid fuel and a platform chemical. Here, 2,3-butanediol production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was improved stepwise by eliminating byproduct formation and redox rebalancing. By introducing heterologous 2,3-butanediol biosynthetic pathway and deleting competing pathways producing ethanol and glycerol, metabolic flux was successfully redirected to 2,3-butanediol. In addition, the resulting redox cofactor imbalance was restored by overexpressing water-forming NADH oxidase (NoxE) from Lactococcus lactis. In a flask fed-batch fermentation with optimized conditions, the engineered adh1Δadh2Δadh3Δadh4Δadh5Δgpd1Δgpd2Δ strain overexpressing Bacillus subtilis α-acetolactate synthase (AlsS) and α-acetolactate decarboxylase (AlsD), S. cerevisiae 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase (Bdh1), and L. lactis NoxE from a single multigene-expression vector produced 72.9 g/L 2,3-butanediol with the highest yield (0.41 g/g glucose) and productivity (1.43 g/(L·h)) ever reported in S. cerevisiae. 相似文献

Low-molecular weight aliphatic acids, furaldehydes and a broad range of different aromatic compounds are known to inhibit the fermentation of lignocellulose hydrolysates by yeasts. In this work, a cocktail of different lignocellulose-derived inhibitors was used to compare the inhibitor resistance of eleven different industrial and laboratory Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains and two Zygosaccharomyces strains. The inhibitor cocktail was composed of two aliphatic acids, formic and acetic acid, two furaldehydes, furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and two aromatic compounds, cinnamic acid and coniferyl aldehyde. Fermentations were performed under oxygen-limited conditions and with different levels (100, 75, 50, 25 and 0%) of the inhibitor cocktail present. The ethanol yield on initial glucose, the volumetric and specific ethanol productivity, the biomass yield and the glucose consumption rates were used as criteria for the performance of the strains. The results revealed major differences in inhibitor resistance between yeast strains within the same species. The ethanol yield of the S. cerevisiae strain that was least affected decreased only with 10% at an inhibitor cocktail concentration of 100%, while the decrease in ethanol yield for the most sensitive S. cerevisiae strain was more than 50% already at an inhibitor cocktail concentration of 25%. Ethanol formation was generally less affected than growth and ethanol yield less than ethanol productivity. The two most resistant strains were an S. cerevisiae strain isolated from a spent sulphite liquor plant and one of the laboratory S. cerevisiae strains. Additional fermentations with either HMF or coniferyl aldehyde revealed that the degree of resistance of different yeast strains was highly dependent on the inhibitor used. A mutant strain of S. cerevisiae displaying enhanced resistance against coniferyl aldehyde compared with the parental strains was identified. 相似文献

Whereas Saccharomyces cerevisiae uses the Embden‐Meyerhof‐Parnas pathway to metabolize glucose, Zymomonas mobilis uses the Entner‐Doudoroff (ED) pathway. Employing the ED pathway, 50% less ATP is produced, which could lead to less biomass being accumulated during fermentation and an improved yield of ethanol. Moreover, Z. mobilis cells, which have a high specific surface area, consume glucose faster than S. cerevisiae, which could improve ethanol productivity. We performed ethanol fermentations using these two species under comparable conditions to validate these speculations. Increases of 3.5 and 3.3% in ethanol yield, and 58.1 and 77.8% in ethanol productivity, were observed in ethanol fermentations using Z. mobilis ZM4 in media containing ~100 and 200 g/L glucose, respectively. Furthermore, ethanol fermentation bythe flocculating Z. mobilis ZM401 was explored. Although no significant difference was observed in ethanol yield and productivity, the flocculation of the bacterial species enabled biomass recovery by cost‐effective sedimentation, instead of centrifugation with intensive capital investment and energy consumption. In addition, tolerance to inhibitory byproducts released during biomass pretreatment, particularly acetic acid and vanillin, was improved. These experimental results indicate that Z. mobilis, particularly its flocculating strain, is superior to S. cerevisiae as a host to be engineered for fuel ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass. 相似文献

Protein tyrosine nitration (PTN) is a selective post-translational modification often associated with physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Tyrosine is modified in the 3-position of the phenolic ring through the addition of a nitro group. In our previous study we first time showed that PTN occurs in vivo in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In the present study we observed occurrence of PTN in petite mutant of S. cerevisiae which indicated that PTN is not absolutely dependent on functional mitochondria. Nitration of proteins in S. cerevisiae was also first time confirmed in immunohistochemical study using spheroplasts. Using proteosomal mutants Rpn10Δ, Pre9Δ, we first time showed that the fate of protein nitration in S. cerevisiae was not dependent on proteosomal clearing and probably played vital role in modulating signaling cascades. From our study it is evident that protein tyrosine nitration is a normal physiological event of S. cerevisiae. 相似文献

We identified two predicted proteins in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Rrp1 (SPAC17A2.12) and Rrp2 (SPBC23E6.02) that share 34% and 36% similarity to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ris1p, respectively. Ris1p is a DNA-dependent ATP-ase involved in gene silencing and DNA repair. Rrp1 and Rrp2 also share similarity with S. cerevisiae Rad5 and S. pombe Rad8, containing SNF2-N, RING finger and Helicase-C domains. To investigate the function of the Rrp proteins, we studied the DNA damage sensitivities and genetic interactions of null mutants with known DNA repair mutants. Single Δrrp1 and Δrrp2 mutants were not sensitive to CPT, 4NQO, CDPP, MMS, HU, UV or IR. The double mutants Δrrp1 Δrhp51 and Δrrp2 Δrhp51 plus the triple Δrrp1 Δrrp2 Δrhp51 mutant did not display significant additional sensitivity. However, the double mutants Δrrp1 Δrhp57 and Δrrp2 Δrhp57 were significantly more sensitive to MMS, CPT, HU and IR than the Δrhp57 single mutant. The checkpoint response in these strains was functional. In S. pombe, Rhp55/57 acts in parallel with a second mediator complex, Swi5/Sfr1, to facilitate Rhp51-dependent DNA repair. Δrrp1 Δsfr1 and Δrrp2 Δsfr1 double mutants did not show significant additional sensitivity, suggesting a function for Rrp proteins in the Swi5/Sfr1 pathway of DSB repair. Consistent with this, Δrrp1 Δrhp57 and Δrrp2 Δrhp57 mutants, but not Δrrp1 Δsfr1 or Δrrp2 Δsfr1 double mutants, exhibited slow growth and aberrations in cell and nuclear morphology that are typical of Δrhp51. 相似文献

The heat evolution of aerated and non-aerated batch cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) in complex glucose medium was investigated by flow microcalorimetry. The course of heat output, substrate consumption and intracellular ATP concentration were extensively studied during the occurrence of an unexpected late peak. The results showed that the acetate could not be responsible for the occurrence of the late peak after the cessation of the growth. Enzyme induction and storage carbohydrate mobilization could be associated with this phenomenon. Linear relationships existed between initial glucose concentration, biomass concentration and total heat output and also between the log of viable cell numbers and the log of integrated heat output. A logistic equation was derived that fit the heat output curves. A model is proposed for predicting the biomass concentration from the power-time curves during the anaerobic growth of S. cerevisiae. 相似文献

The influence of glucose concentration in nutrient media on the specific growth rate and biomass yield in the course of continuous
fermentation ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated. An increase of glucose content in media decreased the specific growth rate and the biomass yield. Glucose
concentration had significant effects on protein and phosphate contents of cells. However, an increased glucose concentration
increased the fermentative power ofS. cerevisiae (SJA-method). An increase of the dilution rate decreased the cell concentration in the fermentor. Specific growth rate approached
the values of the dilution rate. The best agreement has been obtained at a dilution rate of 0.20/h. This dilution rate proved
to be most convenient for the investigated microorganism and cultivation conditions (media composition, pH, aeration intensity
and temperature). Biomass yield proved to be decreased by an increase of the dilution rate. 相似文献

For recombinant xylose-utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ethanol yield and productivity is substantially lower on xylose than on glucose. In contrast to glucose, xylose is a novel substrate for S. cerevisiae and it is not known how this substrate is recognized on a molecular level. Failure to activate appropriate genes during xylose-utilization has the potential to result in sub-optimal metabolism and decreased substrate uptake. Certain differences in fermentative performance between the two substrates have thus been ascribed to variations in regulatory response. In this study differences in substrate utilization of glucose and xylose was analyzed in the recombinant S. cerevisiae strain TMB3400. Continuous cultures were performed with glucose and xylose under carbon- and nitrogen-limited conditions. Whereas biomass yield and substrate uptake rate were similar during carbon-limited conditions, the metabolic profile was highly substrate dependent under nitrogen-limited conditions. While glycerol production occurred in both cases, ethanol production was only observed for glucose cultures. Addition of acetate and 2-deoxyglucose pulses to a xylose-limited culture was able to stimulate transient overflow metabolism and ethanol production. Application of glucose pulses enhanced xylose uptake rate under restricted co-substrate concentrations. Results are discussed in relation to regulation of sugar metabolism in Crabtree-positive and -negative yeast. 相似文献

Anaerobic fermentation of glucose (20 g/l) by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 8066 was studied in a chemostat (dilution rate = 0.05–0.25 h–1) at different concentrations of the nitrogen source (5.00 g/l or 0.36 g/l ammonium sulphate). The ethanol yield (g ethanol produced/g glucose consumed) was found to be higher and the glycerol yield (g glycerol formed/g glucose consumed) lower during nitrogen limitation than under carbon limitation. The biomass yield on ATP (g dry weight biomass produced/mol ATP consumed) was consequently found to be lower during nitrogen-limited conditions. 相似文献

Glutathione (GSH) is one of the most ubiquitous non-protein thiols that is involved in numerous cellular activities. The gene coding for a novel bifunctional enzyme catalyzing the reaction for glutathione synthesis, gshF, was cloned from Streptococcus thermophilus SIIM B218 and expressed in Escherichia coli JM109. In the presence of the precursor amino acids and ATP, the induced cells of E. coli JM109 (pTrc99A-gshF) could accumulate 10.3 mM GSH in 5 h. The S. thermophilus GshF was insensitive to feedback inhibition caused by GSH even at 20 mM. At elevated concentrations of the precursor amino acids and ATP, E. coli JM109 (pTrc99A-gshF) produced 36 mM GSH with a molar yield of 0.9 mol/mol based on added cysteine and of 0.45 mol/mol based on added ATP. When ATP was replaced with glucose, E. coli JM109 (pTrc99A-gshF) produced 7 mM in 3 h. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used to generate ATP for GSH production. In the presence of glucose and the pmr1 mutant of S. cerevisiae BY4742, JM109 (pTrc99A-gshF) produced 33.9 mM GSH in 12 h with a yield of 0.85 mol/mol based on added l-cysteine. It is shown that the S. thermophilus GshF can be successfully used for GSH production. 相似文献

Polyketides represent a class of natural product small molecules with an impressive range of medicinal activities. In order to improve access to therapeutic polyketide compounds, heterologous metabolic engineering has been applied to transfer polyketide genetic pathways from often fastidious native hosts to more industrially-amenable heterologous hosts such as Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or Streptomyces coelicolor. Efforts thus far have resulted in titers either inferior to the native host and significantly below the theoretical yield, emphasizing the need to computationally investigate and engineer the interaction between native and heterologous metabolism for the improved production of heterologous polyketide compounds. In this work, we applied flux balance analysis on genome-scale models to simulate cellular metabolism and 6-deoxyerythronolide B (the cyclized polyketide precursor to erythromycin) production in three common heterologous hosts (E. coli, Bacillus subtilis, and S. cerevisiae) under a variety of carbon-source and medium compositions. We then undertook minimization of metabolic adjustment optimization to identify single and double gene-knockouts that resulted in increased polyketide production while maintaining cellular growth. For the production of 6-deoxyerythronolide B, the results suggest B. subtilis and E. coli are better heterologous hosts when compared to S. cerevisiae and that several single and multiple gene-knockout mutants are computationally predicted to improve specific production, in some cases, over 25-fold. 相似文献

Many terpenoids have important pharmacological activity and commercial value; however, application of these terpenoids is often limited by problems associated with the production of sufficient amounts of these molecules. The use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) for the production of heterologous terpenoids has achieved some success. The objective of this study was to identify S. cerevisiae knockout targets for improving the synthesis of heterologous terpeniods. On the basis of computational analysis of the S. cerevisiae metabolic network, we identified the knockout sites with the potential to promote terpenoid production and the corresponding single mutant was constructed by molecular manipulations. The growth rates of these strains were measured and the results indicated that the gene deletion had no adverse effects. Using the expression of amorphadiene biosynthesis as a testing model, the gene deletion was assessed for its effect on the production of exogenous terpenoids. The results showed that the dysfunction of most genes led to increased production of amorphadiene. The yield of amorphadiene produced by most single mutants was 8–10-fold greater compared to the wild type, indicating that the knockout sites can be engineered to promote the synthesis of exogenous terpenoids. 相似文献

Maintenance of genome stability in eukaryotes involves a number of conserved proteins, including RecQ helicases, which play multiple roles at various steps in homologous recombination and DNA repair pathways. Sgs1 has been described as the only RecQ helicase in lower eukaryotes. However, recent studies revealed the presence of a second RecQ helicase, Hrq1, which is most homologous to human RECQL4. Here we show that hrq1Δ mutation resulted in increased mitotic recombination and spontaneous mutation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and sgs1Δ mutation had additive effects on the phenotypes of hrq1Δ. We also observed that the hrq1Δ mutant was sensitive to 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide and cisplatin, which was not complemented by overexpression of Sgs1. In addition, the hrq1Δ sgs1Δ double mutant displayed synthetic growth defect as well as a shortened chronological life span compared with the respective single mutants. Analysis of the type of age-dependent Canr mutations revealed that only point mutations were found in hrq1Δ, whereas significant numbers of gross deletion mutations were found in sgs1Δ. Our results suggest that Hrq1 is involved in recombination and DNA repair pathways in S. cerevisiae independent of Sgs1. 相似文献

Bottlenecks in the efficient conversion of xylose into cost-effective biofuels have limited the widespread use of plant lignocellulose as a renewable feedstock. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae ferments glucose into ethanol with such high metabolic flux that it ferments high concentrations of glucose aerobically, a trait called the Crabtree/Warburg Effect. In contrast to glucose, most engineered S. cerevisiae strains do not ferment xylose at economically viable rates and yields, and they require respiration to achieve sufficient xylose metabolic flux and energy return for growth aerobically. Here, we evolved respiration-deficient S. cerevisiae strains that can grow on and ferment xylose to ethanol aerobically, a trait analogous to the Crabtree/Warburg Effect for glucose. Through genome sequence comparisons and directed engineering, we determined that duplications of genes encoding engineered xylose metabolism enzymes, as well as TKL1, a gene encoding a transketolase in the pentose phosphate pathway, were the causative genetic changes for the evolved phenotype. Reengineered duplications of these enzymes, in combination with deletion mutations in HOG1, ISU1, GRE3, and IRA2, increased the rates of aerobic and anaerobic xylose fermentation. Importantly, we found that these genetic modifications function in another genetic background and increase the rate and yield of xylose-to-ethanol conversion in industrially relevant switchgrass hydrolysate, indicating that these specific genetic modifications may enable the sustainable production of industrial biofuels from yeast. We propose a model for how key regulatory mutations prime yeast for aerobic xylose fermentation by lowering the threshold for overflow metabolism, allowing mutations to increase xylose flux and to redirect it into fermentation products. 相似文献

Metabolic engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for high-level production of aromatic chemicals has received increasing attention in recent years. Tyrosol production from glucose by S. cerevisiae is considered an environmentally sustainable and safe approach. However, the production of tyrosol and salidroside by engineered S. cerevisiae has been reported to be lower than 2 g/L to date. In this study, S. cerevisiae was engineered with a push-pull-restrain strategy to efficiently produce tyrosol and salidroside from glucose. The biosynthetic pathways of ethanol, phenylalanine, and tryptophan were restrained by disrupting PDC1, PHA2, and TRP3. Subsequently, tyrosol biosynthesis was enhanced with a metabolic pull strategy of introducing PcAAS and EcTyrAM53I/A354V. Moreover, a metabolic push strategy was implemented with the heterologous expression of phosphoketolase (Xfpk), and then erythrose 4-phosphate was synthesized simultaneously by two pathways, the Xfpk-based pathway and the pentose phosphate pathway, in S. cerevisiae. Furthermore, the heterologous expression of Xfpk alone in S. cerevisiae efficiently improved tyrosol production compared with the coexpression of Xfpk and phosphotransacetylase. Finally, the tyrosol yield increased by approximately 135-folds, compared with that of parent strain. The total amount of tyrosol and salidroside with glucose fed-batch fermentation was over 10 g/L and reached levels suitable for large-scale production. 相似文献

When wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains pregrown in maltose-limited chemostat cultures were exposed to excess maltose, release of glucose into the external medium was observed. Control experiments confirmed that glucose release was not caused by cell lysis or extracellular maltose hydrolysis. To test the hypothesis that glucose efflux involved plasma membrane glucose transporters, experiments were performed with an S. cerevisiae strain in which all members of the hexose transporter (HXT) gene family had been eliminated and with an isogenic reference strain. Glucose efflux was virtually eliminated in the hexose-transport-deficient strain. This constitutes experimental proof that Hxt transporters facilitate export of glucose from S. cerevisiae cells. After exposure of the hexose-transport-deficient strain to excess maltose, an increase in the intracellular glucose level was observed, while the concentrations of glucose 6-phosphate and ATP remained relatively low. These results demonstrate that glucose efflux can occur as a result of uncoordinated expression of the initial steps of maltose metabolism and the subsequent reactions in glucose dissimilation. This is a relevant phenomenon for selection of maltose-constitutive strains for baking and brewing. 相似文献

Onsite bio-detoxification of steam-exploded corn stover for cellulosic ethanol production 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In the process of ethanol production from steam-exploded corn stover (SECS), a cellulose-degradation strain of Aspergillus nidulans (FLZ10) was investigated whether it could remove the inhibitors released from steam exploded pretreatment , and thereby be used for biological detoxification on Saccharomycescerevisiae. The results showed that FLZ10 removed 75.2% formic acid, 53.6% acetic acid, and 100% hydroxymethyl furfural (5-HMF) and furfural from the hydrolysate washed from SECS after 72 h cultivation. A cellulase activity of 0.49 IU/ml was simultaneously produced while the biological detoxification occurred. An ethanol yield of 0.45 g/g on glucose was obtained in the hydrolysate biodetoxified by FLZ10. The glucose consumption rate of FLZ10 was much lower than that of S. cerevisiae, thereby it had little competition with S. cerevisiae on glucose consumption. Based on SECS to ethanol mass balance analysis, with the onsite bio-detoxification, fermentation using S. cerevisiae effectively converted monomeric glucose with 94.4% ethanol yield. 相似文献

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an important industrial cell factory and an attractive experimental model for evaluating novel metabolic engineering strategies. Many current and potential products of this yeast require acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) as a precursor and pathways towards these products are generally expressed in its cytosol. The native S. cerevisiae pathway for production of cytosolic acetyl-CoA consumes 2 ATP equivalents in the acetyl-CoA synthetase reaction. Catabolism of additional sugar substrate, which may be required to generate this ATP, negatively affects product yields. Here, we review alternative pathways that can be engineered into yeast to optimize supply of cytosolic acetyl-CoA as a precursor for product formation. Particular attention is paid to reaction stoichiometry, free-energy conservation and redox-cofactor balancing of alternative pathways for acetyl-CoA synthesis from glucose. A theoretical analysis of maximally attainable yields on glucose of four compounds (n-butanol, citric acid, palmitic acid and farnesene) showed a strong product dependency of the optimal pathway configuration for acetyl-CoA synthesis. Moreover, this analysis showed that combination of different acetyl-CoA production pathways may be required to achieve optimal product yields. This review underlines that an integral analysis of energy coupling and redox-cofactor balancing in precursor-supply and product-formation pathways is crucial for the design of efficient cell factories. 相似文献
