谷氨酸对花生四烯酸产生菌被孢霉发酵的影响

研究了不同浓度谷氨酸对被孢霉生产花生四烯酸的影响,发现当加入谷氨酸浓度为0.8g/L时总油脂和花生四烯酸产量达最高,选择0.8g/L谷氨酸进行花生四烯酸产生菌被孢霉发酵动力学研究的结果表明,在培养基中加入0.8g/L谷氨酸可以明显促进被孢霉的生长,加速基质代谢,提高单位被孢霉中的油脂和花生四烯酸产量,尤其在发酵第7d时生物量、油脂和花生四烯酸产量达到最大,分别为24.43、9.21、1.41g/L,分别是对照组第7d所得的1.13、1.15和1.69倍。     

高山被孢霉的红四氮唑染色程度与菌体油脂中花生四烯酸含量的关系

研究了高山被孢霉菌体被红四氮唑(TTC)染色的条件,并探讨了染色程度与菌体油脂中花生四烯酸含量的关系．高山被孢霉的种子菌体被TTC染色的程度随种龄增加而增加,而种子中的油脂含量和油脂中的花生四烯酸含量也都随种龄增加而增加．在发酵过程中,菌体被TTC染色的程度和菌体中的油脂含量以及油脂中的花生四烯酸含量随培养时间增加而增加．三株具有相似油脂含量、不同花生四烯酸含量的高山被孢霉以及一株不产花生四烯酸的鲁氏毛霉的染色结果显示菌体被红四氮唑染色的程度与菌体油脂中的花生四烯酸含量具有正相关性．该发现有助于花生四烯酸高产菌的快速筛选．     

高山被孢霉发酵生产花生四烯酸的宏观形态

采用图像处理技术对高山被孢霉(Mortierella alpina)发酵过程中的不同形态进行分析,并对其产花生四烯酸(ARA)能力进行了比较。研究发现:复合N源中蛋白胨与酵母粉比例是影响高山被孢霉宏观形态的重要因素,球形形态生长的菌体中ARA产量较分散,菌丝体中ARA产量高;在球形形态中,空心球的菌体生物量低,ARA比例低,蓬松球可以兼顾菌体高生物量、高油脂比例及高ARA比例。产ARA能力由生物量、油脂比例及油脂中ARA比例共同决定。结果表明:直径大约4 mm、成核区域面积大约为43.6%、紧密度为71.36的蓬松球形态,是高山被孢霉一种相对较佳的发酵形态,其菌体产ARA能力分别是空心球和分散丝状菌体产ARA能力的2.01和2.70倍。     

YAG激光照射对高山被孢霉花生四烯酸产量的影响

花生四烯酸产生菌高山被孢霉的孢子在时间为8min,距离为10cm的YAG激光剂量照射下,其致死率为75％－80％,以该剂量反复进行照射及菌种筛选,得到其最高生物量28.6g/L,油脂11.04g/L,3.10g/L的突变株T105,比对照菌株的AA产量及油脂量分别提高了2．95倍和1．71倍。通过对突变株T105的形态,代谢情况以及继代稳定性进行分析,认为YAG激光诱变育种是获得茶花生四烯酸高产菌株的有效方法。     

通气量对气升式反应器培养高山被孢霉生产花生四烯酸的影响

高山被孢霉具有很强的积累花生四烯酸(ARA)的能力,通过对30 L气升式反应器发酵过程的通气量进行调控,结果发现:通气量对高山被孢霉菌体生长、形态及ARA合成具有显著影响。中等大小的球形菌丝形态有利于菌体持续生长和油脂积累,ARA占总油脂的含量最高,而羽状菌丝形态菌体中总油脂含量和ARA含量均小于球形菌丝形态菌体中的含量。通气量为1.0 vvm(1 vvm为每分钟通气量与罐体实际料液体积之比)时有利于菌体保持良好形态和生长,通气量为1.4 vvm有利于发酵对数期后(72~168 h)ARA的积累。提出一种两阶段通气量控制策略,在气升式发酵罐中高山被孢霉的菌丝形态得到显著改善,ARA产量达到4.72 g/L,比对照提高了40.1%。

Improved arachidonic acids production from the fungus Mortierella alpina by glutamate supplementation

The effect of various concentrations of glutamate on arachidonic acid (AA) production from Mortierella alpina in shaker flask culture was studied. Glutamate supplementation promoted Mortierella growth, accelerated substrate metabolism, and increased AA production, and a concentration of 0.8 g/l glutamate resulted in the greatest AA yield (1.41 g/l). In 10 l airlift stirred fermenter culture, AA yield in the cultures exposed to 0.8 g/l glutamate was also greater than that in the control (0.56 g/l).     

An isolation procedure for arachidonic acid producing Mortierella species

Malt extract agar and an incubation temperature of 5 °C were used to selectively isolate representatives of the genus Mortierella from soil. Fungi in a soil sample from mountain grassland able to grow under these conditions, amounted to a total of 2640 colony forming units per gram soil. Circa 94% of the total fungal isolates represented Mortierella subgenus Mortierella. The rest of the colony-forming units consisted of Mucor isolates (6.0%) and higher fungi (1.5%). All the Mortierella isolates produced arachidonic acid.     

Kinetic analysis of oil biosynthesis by an arachidonic acid-producing fungus, Mortierella alpina 1S-4

 Kinetic analysis of arachidonic acid (AA)-oil biosynthesis by Mortierella alpina 1S-4 growing under lipid-accumulating (LN medium) and non-lipid-accumulating (HN medium) conditions was investigated and compared with industrial AA fermentation. Various kinetic parameters of these cultivation processes demonstrate a characteristic pattern of the lipogenesis in this fungus, where growth phase, phase of oil accumulation and phase of AA synthesis are distinct from each other. The fungus utilizing LN medium synthesized 32.3 g fatty acid 100 g⁻¹ glucose on the 4th day of cultivation and reached the maximum daily fatty acid accumulation (expressed as differential specific rate q _D(FA/B)) of 9.5%. Our results also indicate that a q _D(FA/B) value of about 2.5% might be critical for lipid overproduction in M. alpina. AA was rapidly incorporated into triacylglycerols (90% of total AA) at the later cultivation phase and overall AA yield was directly related to the total yield of fatty acid.

Extraction of lipids from Mortierella alpina and enrichment of arachidonic acid from the fungal lipids

Mortierella alpina is known as an arachidonic acid (AA) producing oleaginous fungus. Extraction of lipids from wet and dry M. alpina biomass was compared. Lipids yield of extraction from dry cells was higher than that of extraction from wet. Wet extraction mainly extracted lipid bodies and lipids in membranes did not extract effectively. Enrichment of AA from the fungal lipids by a urea inclusion method was studied. Most of the saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, 93.0% and 84.6%, respectively, were removed by forming urea inclusion compounds. AA was concentrated after urea inclusion. Its content in total fatty acids increased 6.2-folds and reached 57.1% with a recovery of 81.9%.     

花生四烯酸高产菌株的选育

利用离子束注入生物技术对花生四烯酸产生菌(Mortierella alpina)进行诱变高产菌筛选。筛选到高产菌I₄₉N₁₈,该菌每升培养液可得生物量30.80g(约4%的含水量),干菌体油脂含量为25.8%,其中花生四烯酸的含量占总.脂的45.37%。30L和250L发酵罐发酵试验,该高产菌的花生.四烯酸得率为4.0g/L。     

Lipid formation and γ-linolenic acid production by Mucorales fungi grown on sunflower oil

Lipid formation and γ-linolenic acid (GLA) production by 48 species of Mucorales fungi grown on sunflower oil (which consists of 70% linoleic acid ; LA) were studied. The strains accumulated 42·7–65·8% lipid in biomass (7·66–13·39 g l⁻¹). Eight cultures produced more than 200 mg GLA l⁻¹. Highest GLA yields exhibited Mucor mucedo CCF-1384 and Cunninghamella echinulata CCF-103 (379 and 373 mg l⁻¹, respectively). Mortierella alpina CCF-185 synthesized 465 mg l⁻¹ arachidonic acid. While the decrease of LA utilization index (ratio of LA content of cell lipid/LA content of oil source) was accompanied with growth of delipidized biomass and with reduction of lipid accumulation within the cells, high lipid yield was as a consequence of the direct oil source incorporation into intracellular lipid.     

Biotoxic activity in the Mucorales

The toxigenicity of representatives of 15 species of Mucorales (Absidia glauca, Actinomucor elegans, Cunninghamella elegans, Helicostylum piriforme, Mortierella isabellina, Mortierella (Mucor) rammaniana, Mucor hiemalis, Mucor mucedo, Mucor spinosus, Phycomyces blakesleeanus, Rhizopus oligosporus, Rhizopus stolonifer, Syncephalastrum racemosum, Thamnidium elegans, Zygorhynchus moelleri) towards the larvae of brine shrimp (Artemia salina) and the growth of pea seedlings (Pisum sativum) and tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum) was evaluated. The fungi were cultivated on malt extract agar and aqueous solutions of the cultures were tested.Thamnidium elegans showed a marked toxic action towards brine shrimp (mortality: 74.1%) andPhycomyces, Actinomucor andSyncephalastrum were only weakly toxic. Length and weight of stems of pea seedlings were moderately reduced by extracts ofAbsidia, Cunninghamella, Zygorhynchus andThamnidium and to a lesser degree byMucor spinosus. Cunninghamella andMucor spinosus also inhibited the development of pea hypocotyls. The length of tobacco stems was reduced byMortierella ramanniana, Rhizopus stolonifer andCunninghamella elegans. Wilting or other toxic phenomena were never observed with both test plants. Considering the present results and data from literature it is suggested that species of Mucorales have only a weak toxigenicity.

Effects of dissolved oxygen on the morphology of an arachidonic acid production by Mortierella alpina 1S-4

Arachidonic acid (AA) production by Mortierella alpina 1S-4 was investigated using a 50-L fermentor. In order to optimize the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration and to investigate the effect of DO on morphology, cultivation was carried out under constant DO at various levels in the range of 3-50 ppm. To maintain a DO concentration above 7 ppm, two methods, i.e., the oxygen-enrichment (OE) method (experimental range, 25-90% oxygen gas supplied) and the pressurization (PR) method (experimental range, 180-380 kPa headspace pressure), were used. As a result, the optimum DO concentration range was found to be 10-15 ppm. In this optimum DO concentration range, the AA yield was enhanced about 1.6-fold compared to that obtained at 7 ppm DO, and there was no difference in the AA productivity between the OE and PR methods. When the DO concentration was maintained at 20-50 ppm using the OE method, the morphology changed from filaments to pellets, and the AA yield decreased drastically because of stress due to the limited mass transfer through the pellet wall. When the DO concentration was maintained at 15-20 ppm using the PR method, the morphology did not change, and the AA yield decreased gradually.
