Gluconobacter oxydans oxidizes glucose via alternative pathways: one involves the non-phosphorylative, direct oxidation route to gluconic acid and ketogluconic acids, and the second requires an initial phosphorylation and then oxidation via the pentose phosphate pathway enzymes. During growth of G. oxydans in glucose-containing media, the activity of this pathway is strongly influenced by (1) the pH value of the environment and (2) the actual concentration of glucose present in the culture. At pH values below 3.5 the activity of the pentose phosphate pathway was completely inhibited resulting in an increased requirement of the organism for nutrient substances, and a poor cell yield. At pH 5.5 a triphasic growth response was observed when G. oxydans was grown in a defined medium. Above a threshold value of 5–15 mM glucose, oxidation of both glucose and gluconate by the pentose phosphate pathway enzymes was repressed, causing a rapid accumulation of gluconic acid in the culture medium. When growing under these conditions, a low affinity for the oxidation of glucose was found (K
s=13 mM). Below this threshold glucose concentration, pentose phosphate pathway enzymes were synthesized and glucose was actively assimilated via this pathway. It was shown that de novo enzyme synthesis was necessary for increased pentose phosphate pathway activity and that assimilation of gluconate by washed cell suspensions was inhibited by glucose. 相似文献

Phosphate regulation of ACV synthetase and cephalosporin biosynthesis in Streptomyces clavuligerus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cephalosporin production by Streptomyces clavuligerus was reduced sharply by 60 mM phosphate added to a chemically-defined medium. All the four synthetases in the pathway examined, i.e., ACV synthetase, cyclase, epimerase and expandase, were repressed by phosphate, with ACV synthetase being the main repression target and expandase the next. ACV synthetase activity was inhibited by phosphate to a lesser extent than expandase and cyclase, and this inhibition could be reversed by adding Fe2+. Fe2+ itself was inhibitory to ACV synthetase action. 相似文献

A high concentration of potassium phosphate (75–100 mM) stabilized pH and supported extensive growth of Streptomyces clavuligerus in a chemically defined medium; such a concentration also inhibited cephalosporin production. Although Tris buffer was found to have detrimental effects on growth and antibiotic production, 3-(N-morpholino)-propane sulfonate (MOPS) or 2-(N-morpholino)-ethane sulfonate (MES) buffer provided a nontoxic buffering system. In the presence of MOPS buffer, cephalosporin production was optimal at 25 mM phosphate, whereas higher concentrations of phosphate progressively inhibited antibiotic production up to 85% without modifying the pH pattern. MOPS buffer can be used to conduct fermentations at a relatively constant pH value in shake flasks.List of Non-Common Abbreviations MOPS

Cultivating Vitis vinifera cell suspensions in a production medium which is characterized by high sucrose and low nitrate concentrations (132 mM and 6.25 mM respectively) repressed growth but enhanced the intracellular accumulation of anthocyanins, especially peonidin 3-glucoside. Increasing the ammonium concentration of the production medium from 2 to 8–16 mM increased growth and decreased the accumulation of anthocyanins and peonidin 3-glucoside specifically. Instead, peonidin 3-p-coumaroylglucoside accumulated. At 24 mM ammonium concentration, growth was inhibited and accumulation of peonidin 3-p-coumaroylglucoside was significant (p<0.05) and represented 42% of total anthocyanins after 12 days of culture compared with 19% in the production medium with 2 mM ammonium.Contribution Number 217. 相似文献

Immunological cross-reactivity between cell wall proteins obtained from two yeast genera (Candida tropicalis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is reported. Specific retention of two cell wall proteins from Saccharomyces cerevisiae by an immunoabsorbent column coupled with antibodies against phosphate binding protein 2 (PiBP2) from Candida tropicalis allowed to generate antibodies against the proteins from S. cerevisiae. These antibodies were effective in inhibiting phosphate uptake by S. cerevisiae cells. The proteins from S. cerevisiae displayed a phosphate binding activity which was inhibited in the presence of the forementioned antibodies. These results and the observation that the amount of these proteins in the shock fluid was dependent of the growth conditions (i.e., in the presence or in the absence of phosphate) support the idea that these proteins are involved in the high affinity phosphate transport system.Abbreviations Pi

When continuous cultures of Azotobacter vinelandii were supplied with ammonium or nitrate in amounts, which just repressed nitrogenase synthesis completely, both the intracellular glutamine level and the degree of adenylylation of the glutamine synthetase (GS) increased only slightly (from 0.45–0.50 mM and from 2 to 3 respectively), while the total GS level remained unaffected. Higher amounts of ammonium additionally inhibited the nitrogenase activity, caused a strong rise in the intracellular glutamine concentration and adenylylation of the GS, but caused no change in the ATP/ADP ratio. These results are considered as evidence that in A. vinelandii the regulation of nitrogenase synthesis is not linked to the adenylylation state of the GS and to the intracellular glutamine level, and that the inhibition of the nitrogenase activity as a consequence of a high extracellular ammonium level is not mediated via a change in the energy charge.Abbreviations GS

The synthesis of cell wall mannan and the activities of guanosine-diphosphate-mannose-pyrophosphorylase (EC2.7.7.13) and mannan synthetase were studied during the development of nucleate and enucleated cells of the alga Acetabularia mediterranea. The activities of both enzymes are relatively high as long as the cells grow and synthesize mannans. With termination of growth and mannan synthesis, the activities of both enzymes, but especially of mannan synthetase, drop to a low value. Furthermore, the activities of both enzymes are distributed in the cell along an apical-basal gradient. High activities are present in the apical regions of the cell where growth and mannan synthesis mainly occur, whereas in the basal region, growth, mannan synthesis and the activity of the two enzymes are slight. Since the in vitro activity of GDP-Man-pyr is at least 100 times higher than that of mannan synthetase, it was concluded that mannan synthetase activity is the limiting factor in mannan synthesis. This conclusion is supported by the determined pool sizes of Fru 6-P, Man 6-P, Man 1-P and GDP-Man during the development of the cells. The control of mannan synthesis and with it cell wall formation and growth through the regulation of mannan synthetase activity is discussed.Abbreviations DD

Teichuronic acid was the major anionic polymer of Bacillus licheniformis NCIB 6346 durign phosphate-limited (P-limited) growth in the chemostat. This polymer was also present in significant quantities when B. licheniformis was grown under carbon-limited (C-limited) or magnesium-limited (Mg-limited) conditions where teichoic acid predominated in the cell wall. However, the cell wall composition was not of significance in protein export and the parameters for the excretion process were found to be environmental. In particular, two types of extracellular proteins were identified: the first type of enzyme, penicillinase, was only weakly catabolite repressed; was maximally synthesized and secreted during P-limited growth; was unaffected by growth in high Na+ media but its production was inhibited by gramicidin. The second type of enzyme, -amylase, was strongly catabolite repressed and its export was markedly inhibited during P-limited growth or in the presence of Na+ or gramicidin. It is noteworthy that the penicillinase carries a glyceride-cysteine modification at its N-terminus whilst the -amylase does not. 相似文献

Sucrose phosphate synthetase (EC 2.4.1.14) is the key enzyme for sucrose synthesis in Dunaliella tertiolecta. It has been partially purified and characterized. The enzyme contains one binding site for uridine diphosphoglucose and two binding sites for fructose-6-phosphate; it is allosterically controlled by fructose-6-phosphate. Inorganic phosphate stimulates the enzymic activity, particularly in the presence of higher concentrations of fructose-6-phosphate. Sucrose phosphate synthetase is not halophilic or halotolerant. The temperature dependence of the enzymic activity cannot fully explain the observed increase in sucrose synthesis in Dunaliella by elevated temperature.Abbreviations F-6-P

Beggiatoa alba B18LD was investigated for its pathways of ammonia assimilation. The increase in growth yields ofB. alba with excess acetate was linear from 0.1 to 2.0 mM ammonia.B. alba had strong glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate synthase (GOGAT) activities, irrespective of the ammonia concentration in the medium. Glutamate dehydrogenase activity was not found, and alanine dehydrogenase (aminating) was observed only whenB. alba was grown at high (2.0 mM) ammonia. Methionine sulfoximine, an inhibitor of GS, inhibited growth ofB. alba irrespective of the ammonia concentration in the medium. Thus it appears the primary pathway for ammonia assimilation inB. alba is via the GS-GOGAT pathway at both low and high ammonia concentrations. Preliminary experiments were unable to discern if theB. alba GS is modified by covalent modification.Non-standard abbreviations GS

The levels of cyclic 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (cDPG) in methanogenic bacteria are governed by the antagonistic activities of cDPG synthetase and cDPG hydrolase. In this paper we focus on the synthetase from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum. The cytoplasmic 150 kDa enzyme catalyzed cDPG synthesis from 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (apparent Km=21 mM), Mg2+ (Km=3.1 mM) and ATP (Km=1–2 mM). In batch-fed cultures, the enzyme was constitutively present (6–6.5 nmol per min per mg protein) during the different growth phases. In continuous cultures, activity decreased in response to phosphate limitation. The synthetase reaction proceeded with maximal rate at pH 6 and at 65° C and was specifically dependent on high (>0.3M) K+ concentrations. The reaction conditions remarkably contrasted to those of cDPG degradation catalyzed by the previously described membrane-bound cDPG hydrolase.Abbreviations

The high cephalosporin-producing strainCephalosporium acremonium C-10 was found to be still subject to carbon source regulation despite earlier mutations which decreased this effect. Under phosphorus source limitation, a low concentration (2.7%) and a high concentration (6.3%) of glucose or glycerol as carbon source supported similar growth rates. The high concentration of glucose or glycerol decreased -lactam production and repressed the formation of deacetoxycephalosporin C synthase, but not of isopenicillin N synthase or -(l--aminoadipyl)-l-cysteinyl-d-valine synthetase. A high concentration of glucose also suppressed penicillin N accumulation; this suggested the existence of an enzyme inhibition effect by glucose or its catabolites. This was supported by data from a resting-cell experiment. In vitro studies showed glucose to inhibit the action of ACV synthetase in crude extracts, with more than 70% of the activity inhibited by 5 mM glucose. Glucose-6-phosphate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate also were inhibitory. 3-Phosphoglycerate inhibited expandase activity. Inhibition by glucose and its catabolites of ACV synthetase appears to be one of the mechanisms involved in the negative carbon source regulation of -lactam biosynthesis. 相似文献

Rapid and extensive growth of Bacillus brevis ATCC 9999 was obtained in a complex medium containing yeast extract and peptone. Gramicidin S (GS) production in this medium reached 2.5 g/liter and 0.25 g/g dry cell weight. GS synthetase I production was also high in this complex medium. Chemically defined media were also developed for this strain. In a glycerol-ammonium sulfate-Tris-salts medium, the culture grew about 40% as well (rate and extent) as in complex medium. Although GS production was low (0.23 g GS/liter), peak specific activity of GS synthetase I was as high as on complex medium. Nutritional experiments showed that growth was stimulated by glutamine, methionine, proline, arginine, and histidine. Addition of these amino acids almost doubled the rate and extent of growth and GS production on a volumetric basis. However the increase in GS was due merely to the increased cell density; GS synthetase I specific activity was in fact decreased by the supplement. Complex medium is better than defined medium for GS and GS synthetase production due to increased cell density and a slower rate of synthetase disappearance. 相似文献

Purification and regulation of glutamine synthetase in a collagenolytic Vibrio alginolyticus strain 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Glutamine synthetase (EC 6.3.1.2) has been purified from a collagenolytic Vibrio alginolyticus strain. The apparent molecular weight of the glutamine synthetase subunit was approximately 62,000. This indicates a particle weight for the undissociated enzyme of 744,000, assuming the enzyme is the typical dodecamer. The glutamine synthetase enzyme had a sedimentation coefficient of 25.9 S and seems to be regulated by a denylylation and deadenylylation. The pH profiles assayed by the -glutamyltransferase method were similar for NH4-shocked and unshocked cell extracts and isoactivity point was not obtained from these eurves. The optimum pH for purified and crude cell extracts was 7.9. Cell-free glutamine synthetase was inhibited by some amino acids and AMP. The transferase activity of glutamine synthetase from mid-exponential phase cells varied greatly depending on the sources of nitrogen or carbon in the growth medium. Glutamine synthetase level was regulated by nitrogen catabolite repression by (NH4)2SO4 and glutamine, but cells grown, in the presence of proline, leucine, isoleucine, tryptophan, histidine, glutamic acid, glycine and arginine had enhanced levels of transferase activity. Glutamine synthetase was not subject to glucose, sucrose, fructose, glycerol or maltose catabolite repression and these sugars had the opposite effect and markedly enhanced glutamine synthetase activity.Abbreviations GS

Decapitation or red light irradiation (R) inhibited growth and Golgi-localized glucan synthetase (GS I) activity in the mesocotyl of intact maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings. Applied auxin (indole-3-acetic acid) prevented the effects of R and of decapitation on both growth and GS I. Auxin applied several hours after irradiation prevented any further decline in GS I but did not restore it. Mesocotyl segments incubated in solution elongated in response to auxin but lost GS I with time regardless of the presence of exogenous auxin. An attached seed was necessary for maintenance of GS I in the dark-grown mesocotyl.Abbreviations GS

Summary The specific activities of the branched chain amino acyl-tRNA synthetases from the cytosolic and mitochondrial fractions ofN. crassa were low in dormant conidia and increased during germination, reaching a maximum 8 h after inoculation. This stage of development is characterised by high rates of many other cellular activities.The increases in activity of synthetases of both cytosol and mitochondria are inhibited by cycloheximide indicating that they are synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes. The mitochondrial synthetases show a stimulation of their specific activity when mitochondrial RNA and protein synthesis are inhibited by either ethidium bromide or chloramphenicol suggesting that a mitochondrial translation product regulates the synthesis of the mitochondrial synthetases.The activities of amino acyl-tRNA synthetases are dependent on energy production. When respiration is uncoupled from oxidative phosphorylation, synthetase specific activities decrease although the activities of other mitochondrial enzymes like NADH-dehydrogenase increase. This phenomenon suggests that more than one mechanism regulates the synthesis of mitochondrial proteins which are formed on cytoplasmic ribosomes.The synthesis of branched chain amino acyl-tRNA synthetases ofNeurospora is neither repressed by their cognate amino acids, nor is there inhibition by the precursors of these amino acids, as has been observed in other amino acyl-tRNA synthetases of various organism includingNeurospora. 相似文献

Tryptophan auxotrophs were isolated and used to analyze the regulation of tryptophan biosynthesis in Zymomonas mobilis. Twelve tryptophan auxotrophs were cassified as trp E, B or A based on accumulation of, or growth on, indole and anthranilic acid. Trp B mutants were found to accumulate indole when grown on limiting, but not on excess tryptophan, suggesting that tryptophan plays a role in regulating its biosynthesis. Tryptophan synthase and indoleglycerol phosphate synthase specific activities were measured in the wild-type strain and two trp mutants grown in limiting or excess tryptophan. Neither activity was repressed by exogenous tryptophan.Abbreviations CDRP

Glutamine synthetase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa is regulated by repression/derepression of enzyme synthesis and by adenylylation/deadenylylation control. High levels of deadenylylated biosynthetically active glutamine synthetase were observed in cultures growing with limiting amounts of nitrogen while synthesis of the enzyme was repressed and that present was adenylylated in cultures with excess nitrogen.NADP-and NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase could be separated by column chromatography and showed molecular weights of 110,000 and 220,000, respectively. Synthesis of the NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase is repressed under nitrogen limitation and by growth on glutamate. In contrast, NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase is derepressed by glutamate. Glutamate synthase is repressed by glutamate but not by excess nitrogen. 相似文献

Of the vitamins tested, inositol was the most effective for erythritol production. To increase erythritol production by Torula sp., inositol and a related compound, phytic acid (myoinositol hexaphosphate), were added to the culture media. Erythritol production in the presence of phytic acid was greater than that in the presence of inositol, due to the synergistic effects of phosphate and inositol. Supplementation with phosphate and inositol increased cell growth, erythritol production, and the activity of erythrose reductase in cells. Inositol was a more effective stimulator of cell growth and erythritol production than was phosphate. 相似文献

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa the formation of urease, histidase and some other enzymes involved in nitrogen assimilation is repressed by ammonia in the growth medium. The key metabolite in this process appears to be glutamine or a product derived from it, since ammonia and glutamate did not repress urease and histidase synthesis in a mutant lacking glutamine synthetase activity when growth was limited for glutamine. The synthesis of these enzymes was repressed in cells growing in the presence of excess glutamine. High levels of glutamine were also required for the derepression of NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase formation in the glutamine synthetase-negative mutant. 相似文献
