The fatty acid contents of the “Crabtree-positive” yeastsSaccharomyces cerevisiae, S. carlsbergensis andS. delbrueckii decreased with increasing concentrations of glucose in the medium. These lower values were due to a lower content of sterol
esters and phosphatides inS. cerevisiae, and of sterol esters inS. carlsbergensis. In contrast the fatty acid contents of the Crabtree-negativeS. fragilis, Schwanniomyces occidentalis andCandida utilis increased with increasing concentrations of glucose and inCandida utilis this was due almost entirely to a higher content of triglycerides.

Six different variations of the extraction procedure applied to yeast cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida utilis to optimize the production of yeast extract and isolation of nucleic acids were compared. The autolysis of C. utilis at 50 to 52°C without adding chemical agents was found to be the best for the production of yeast extract. The most suitable procedures used for the extraction of nucleic acids were those which were carried out from C. utilis at pH 7.5 (92°C) and the other with 0.4 M NH4OH (40°C). Both these modifications yielded the highest amounts of polymer nucleic acids. Applying all procedures compared to S. cerevisiae an increased content of sterols (including Δ5.7-sterols, predominantly ergosterol) was detected. 相似文献

A comparative study was made of the in vitro respiratory capacity of mitochondria isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida utilis grown in glucose-limited chemostat cultures. An electron-microscopic analysis of whole cells revealed that the volume density of mitochondria was the same in both yeasts. Mitochondria from both organisms exhibited respiratory control with NADH, pyruvate + malate, 2-oxoglutarate + acetate or malate, and ethanol. The rate of oxidation of these compounds by isolated mitochondria was the same in both yeasts. The rate of oxidation of NADPH by mitochondria from S. cerevisiae was 10 times lower than by those from C. utilis. However, this low rate probably has no influence on the overall in vivo respiratory capacity of S. cerevisiae. The results are discussed in relation to the differences in metabolic behaviour between S. cerevisiae and C. utilis upon transition of cultures from glucose limitation to glucose excess. It is concluded that the occurrence of alcoholic fermentation in S. cerevisiae under these conditions does not result from a bottleneck in the respiratory capacity of the mitochondria. 相似文献

Biochemical characterization of a trehalase, detected in the mid-exponential growth phase of Candida utilis NCIM Y500, has indicated that it was a neutral trehalase and possibly the only trehalase present in this strain. Unlike Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other C. utilis strains, this strain without acid trehalase grew quite well in minimal or complete medium containing trehalose as the sole source of carbon. Both these observations were contradictory to the findings reported for acid trehalase mutants of S. cerevisiae and C. utilis. The trehalase system of the strain is suggested to be similar to that of fungi. 相似文献

The ADE1 gene from Candida utilis CA(u)-37, a strain used for commercially producing enzymes, was cloned by complementation of the ade1 mutation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It was composed of 903 bp, and the deduced amino acid sequence was 70% homologous to those of the ADE1 genes of S. cerevisiae and Candida maltosa. The highly preserved region of SAICAR synthetase, the ADE1 gene product, was also found by a homology search. 相似文献

gal were turned into protoplasts to be further fused with the aid of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and Ca2+ ions. Minimal medium containing glycerol as the carbon source was employed for fusion product selection. The respiratory-competent fusion products, mainly oval cells, resembledCandida utilis and had the fermentative abilities of this strain (dextrose, sucrose, raffinose). Five fusion products were analyzed as to their ability to metabolize dextrose, xylose, cellobiose, trehalose, glycerol, succinic acid, citric acid, salycin, and maltose. Fusion products partially restored the respiratory-competentCandida utilis capacity to grow by use of these carbon compounds, and none of theSaccharomyces cerevisiae fermenting abilities were found. Our results would suggest either a partial recombination between parental mitochondria or some occurring phenomenon affecting the cell, membrane function after somatic fusion without concomitant nuclear fusion. 相似文献

Specifically labelled14C-d-glucose was used to estimate the percentage participation of glycolysis and pentose phosphate cycle in the glucose catabolism ofCandida utilis andSaccharomyces cerevisiae. The two yeasts were cultivated at various growth rates (0.1 to 0.5 h?1) in a chemostat on synthetic medium limited with glucose under aerobic conditions. The results show a considerable increase in the percentage participation of pentose phosphate cycle in the glucose catabolized bySaccharomyces cerevisiae with the increase in specific growth rate. However, inCandida utilis, the specific growth rate does not influence significantly the part of glucose catabolized via pentose phosphate cycle, but its absolute values are relatively higher than inSaccharomyces cerevisiae. A rough quantitative estimate indicates that a maximum of 60 to 72% of the assimilated glucose is catabolized through the pentose phosphate cycle while inSaccharomyces cerevisiae the percentage participation of the pentose phosphate cycle varies from 24 to 60% (maximum) and 9 to 34% (minimum). 相似文献

Summary
Candida utilis strain BKT4 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain BKT7 isolated from burukutu (a local wine brewed from sorghum) were used to enrich fufu. During the fermentation process,
there were changes in the microbiological and biochemical characteristics of the cassava. The total viable counts increased
with increasing fermentation time while the counts of the lactics and fungi increased at the later stages of the fermentation
due to the acidity of the medium. Various bacteria (Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Klebsiella, Escherichia, Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Corynebacterium), moulds (Penicillium, Aspergillus, Fusarium, Mucor, Rhizopus) and yeasts (Candida, Saccharomyces, Hansenula, Rhodotorula) were found to be associated with the fermentation process. The pH of the fermenting cassava increased from 4.2 to 5.7 after
72 h while the cyanide level decreased from 2.2 mg/kg to 0.7 mg/kg over the same period of fermentation. Fufu (prepared by
crushing and sieving fermenting cassava roots) enriched with 0.5 g of C. utilis strain BKT4, S. cerevisiae BKT7 and a mixed culture of the two organisms revealed a crude protein of 7.90, 6.34 and 10.0% respectively as compared to
2% protein content of the enriched fufu. There was a corresponding increase in protein content of the product as the quantity
of the enrichment yeast was increased from 0.5 to 3.0 g. The aroma of the enriched fufu was preferred to that of the commercial
fufu. Generally, good acceptability and organoleptic qualities (colour, taste, texture and aroma) of the protein enriched
fufu was best achieved within 48 h of enrichment. The results of this study suggest that fufu can be made more nutritious
with yeasts particularly Candida utilis strain BKT4 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain BKT7. 相似文献

The 150-fold purification of the l-α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase of Candida utilis electron-transport particles by very mild procedures is described. The active enzyme contains FAD, iron and copper. The function of the metals, if any, is not clear. Its molecular weight is about 5·105. The subunit composition is complex and remains unresolved because the enzyme is contaminated with protease(s). The activity of this enzyme is very low in Saccharomyces cerevisiae unless the cells are grown in glycerol. The NAD-dependent cytoplasmic α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase is present in C. utilis but could not be demonstrated in glucose-grown S. cerevisiae. 相似文献

The alcohol dehydrogenase gene (ADH1) of Candida utilis ATCC9950 was cloned and expressed in recombinant Escherichia coli. C. utilis ADH1 was obtained by PCR amplification of C. utilis genomic DNA using two degenerate primers. Amino acid sequence analysis of C. utilis ADH1 indicated that it contained a zinc-binding consensus region and a NAD(P)+-binding site, and lacked a mitochondrial targeting peptide. It has a 98 and 73% identity with ADH1s of C. albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, respectively. Amino acid sequence analysis and enzyme characterization with various aliphatic and branched alcohols suggested that C. utilis ADH1 might be a primary alcohol dehydrogenase existing in the cytoplasm and requiring zinc ion and NAD(P)+ for reaction. 相似文献

Volatile aroma-active esters are responsible for the fruity character of fermented alcoholic beverages, such as beer and wine.
In the brewers’ yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the major part of these esters is formed by two alcohol acetyltransferases, Atf1 and Atf2. In this paper, the existence
of orthologues of these S. cerevisiae alcohol acetyltransferases in several ascomycetous fungi was investigated. Bioinformatic analysis of sequenced fungal genomes
revealed the presence of multiple orthologues. The Saccharomyces sensu stricto yeasts all have two genes coding for orthologues. More distantly related fungi like Saccharomyces castelii, Candida glabrata, Kluyveromyces waltii and Kluyveromyces lactis have only one orthologue in their genome. The homology between the identified proteins and the S. cerevisiae alcohol acetyltransferases suggests a role for these orthologues in the aroma-active ester formation. To verify this, the
K. lactis orthologue KlAtf was cloned and expressed in S. cerevisiae. Gas chromatographic analysis of small-scale fermentations with the transformant strains showed that, while S. cerevisiae ATF1 overexpression resulted in a substantial increase in acetate ester levels, S. cerevisiae ATF2 and K. lactis ATF overexpression only caused a moderate increase in acetate esters. This study is the first report of the presence of an ester
synthesis gene in K. lactis. 相似文献

Inhibition of yeast by lactic acid bacteria in continuous culture: nutrient depletion and/or acid toxicity? 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Lactic acid was added to batch very high gravity (VHG) fermentations and to continuous VHG fermentations equilibrated to steady state with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A 53% reduction in colony-forming units (CFU) ml–1 of S. cerevisiae was observed in continuous fermentation at an undissociated lactic acid concentration of 3.44% w/v; and greater than 99.9% reduction was evident at 5.35% w/v lactic acid. The differences in yeast cell number in these fermentations were not due to pH, since batch fermentations over a pH range of 2.5–5.0 did not lead to changes in growth rate. Similar fermentations performed in batch showed that growth inhibition with added lactic acid was nearly identical. This indicates that the apparent high resistance of S. cerevisiae to lactic acid in continuous VHG fermentations is not a function of culture mode. Although the total amount of ethanol decreased from 48.7 g l–1 to 14.5 g l–1 when 4.74% w/v undissociated lactic acid was added, the specific ethanol productivity increased ca. 3.2-fold (from 7.42×10–7 g to 24.0×10–7 g ethanol CFU–1 h–1), which indicated that lactic acid stress improved the ethanol production of each surviving cell. In multistage continuous fermentations, lactic acid was not responsible for the 83% (CFU ml–1) reduction in viable S. cerevisiae yeasts when Lactobacillus paracasei was introduced to the system at a controlled pH of 6.0. The competition for trace nutrients in those fermentations and not lactic acid produced by L. paracasei likely caused the yeast inhibition. 相似文献

Fermentations with mixed cultures of the cellulolytic fungus Trichoderma viride and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Candida utiliswere examined. The fermentations were carried out in an aerated 5 liter fermentor with NaOH treated barley straw as the cellulose source (2–4%). Yeast was inoculated 24–32 hr after the fungus and the growth of the two organisms was followed through the production of CO2 and cell protein. In comparison with fermentations with T. viridealone, the production time for maximum yields of cellulases and cell protein was reduced by several days, depending on the straw concentrations. The protein content of the growth product was 21–22% and the amino acid composition of the product resembled that of T. viride alone. 相似文献

Summary An alcohol electrode was constructed which consisted of an oxygen probe onto which alcohol oxidase was immobilized. This enzyme electrode was used, in combination with a reference oxygen electrode, to study the short-term kinetics of alcoholic fermentation by aerobic yeast suspensions after pulsing with glucose. The results demonstrate that this device is an excellent tool in obtaining quantitative data on the short-term expression of the Crabtree effect in yeasts.Samples from aerobic glucose-limited chemostat cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae not producing ethanol, immediately (within 2 min) exhibited aerobic alcoholic fermentation after being pulsed with excess glucose. With chemostat-grown Candida utilis, however, ethanol production was not detectable even at high sugar concentrations. The Crabtree effect in S. cerevisiae was studied in more detail with commercial baker's yeast. Ethanol formation occurred only at initial glucose concentrations exceeding 150 mg·l-1, and the rate of alcoholic fermentation increased with increasing glucose concentrations up to 1,000 mg·l-1 glucose.Similar experiments with batch cultures of certain non-fermentative yeasts revealed that these organisms are capable of alcoholic fermentation. Thus, even under fully aerobic conditions, Hansenula nonfermentans and Candida buffonii produced ethanol after being pulsed with glucose. In C. buffonii ethanol formation was already apparent at very low glucose concentrations (10 mg·l-1) and alcoholic fermentation even proceeded at a higher rate than in S. cerevisiae. With Rhodotorula rubra, however, the rate of ethanol formation was below the detection limit, i.e., less than 0.1 mmol·g cells-1·h-1. 相似文献

Co‐cultures for simultaneous production of ethanol and xylitol were studied under different operation bioreactor modes using Candida tropicalis IEC5‐ITV and Saccharomyces cerevisiae ITV01‐RD in a simulated medium of sugarcane bagasse hydrolyzates. Xylitol and ethanol tolerance by S. cerevisiae and C. tropicalis, respectively, was evaluated. The results showed that C. tropicalis was sensitive to ethanol concentrations up to 30 g/L, while xylitol had no effect on S. cerevisiae viability and metabolism. The best condition found for simultaneous culture was S. cerevisiae co‐culture and C. tropicalis sequential cultivation at 24 h. Under these conditions, productivity and yield for ethanol were QEtOH = 0.72 g L?1 h?1 and YEtOH/s = 0.37 g/g, and for xylitol, QXylOH = 0.10 g L?1 h?1 and YXylOH/S = 0.31 g/g, respectively; using fed‐batch culture, the results were QEtOH = 0.87 g L?1 h?1 and YEtOH/s = 0.44 g L?1 h?1, and QEtOH = 0.27 g L?1 h?1 and YEtOH/s = 0.57 g/g, respectively. Maximum volumetric productivity in continuous multistep cultures of ethanol and xylitol was at dilution rates of 0.131 and 0.074 h?1, respectively. Continuous multistep production, QEtOH increased up to 50% more than in fed‐batch culture, even though xylitol yield remained unchanged. 相似文献

Bioethanol production from carob pods has attracted many researchers due to its high sugar content. Both Zymomonas mobilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been used previously for this purpose in submerged and solid-state fermentation. Since extraction of sugars from the carob pod particles is a costly process, solid-state and solid submerged fermentations, which do not require the sugar extraction step, may be economical processes for bioethanol production. The aim of this study is to evaluate the bioethanol production in solid submerged fermentation from carob pods. The maximum ethanol production of 0.42 g g?1 initial sugar was obtained for Z. mobilis at 30°C, initial pH 5.3, and inoculum size of 5% v/v, 9 g carob powder per 50 mL of culture media, agitation rate 0 rpm, and fermentation time of 40 hr. The maximum ethanol production for S. cerevisiae was 0.40 g g?1 initial sugar under the same condition. The results obtained in this research are comparable to those of Z. mobilis and S. cerevisiae performance in other culture mediums from various agricultural sources. Accordingly, solid submerged fermentation has a potential to be an economical process for bioethanol production from carob pods. 相似文献

Aims: To investigate the effects of pH stress coupled with cysteine addition on glutathione (GSH) production in the treatment of high cell density culture of Candida utilis. Methods and Results: We have previously observed that most Candida utilis cells remained viable after being subjected to pH at 1·2 for 3 h and that some intracellular GSH leaked into the medium. A cysteine addition strategy was applied in fed‐batch production of GSH. A single cysteine addition resulted in higher GSH yield than two separate additions without pH stress. An increase in intracellular GSH content triggered inhibition of γ‐glutamylcysteine synthetase (γ‐GCS). A strategy that combines cysteine addition with low‐pH stress was developed to relieve the inhibition of γ‐GCS. Conclusion: Without pH stress, single shot and double shot cysteine addition yielded a total GSH of 1423 and 1325 mg l?1. In comparison, a low‐pH stress counterpart resulted in a total GSH of 1542 and 1730 mg l?1, respectively. With low‐pH stress, we observed GSH secretion into the medium at 673 and 558 mg l?1 and an increase in the γ‐GCS activity by 1·2‐ and 1·5‐fold, respectively. The specific GSH production yield increased from 1·76% to 1·91% (w/w) for single shot, and 1·64% to 2·14% for double shots. Significance and Impact of the Study: Low‐pH shift was applied to alleviate the feedback inhibition of intracellular GSH on γ‐GCS activity by secreting GSH into the medium. This strategy is coupled with cysteine addition to enhance GSH production in Candida utilis. 相似文献

Improved ethanol production of a newly isolated thermotolerant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain after high-energy-pulse-electron beam 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Aims: To isolate thermotolerant Saccharomyces cerevisiae with high‐energy‐pulse‐electron (HEPE) beam, to optimize the mutation strain fermentation conditions for ethanol production and to conduct a preliminary investigation into the thermotolerant mechanisms. Methods and Results: After HEPE beam radiation, the thermotolerant S. cerevisiae strain Y43 was obtained at 45°C. Moreover, the fermentation conditions of mutant Y43 were optimized by L33 orthogonal experiment. The optimal glucose content and initial pH for fermentation were 20% g l?1 and 4·5, respectively; peptone content was the most neglected important factor. Under this condition, ethanol production of Y43 was 83·1 g l?1 after fermentation for 48 h at 43°C, and ethanol yield was 0·42 g g?1, which was about 81·5% of the theoretical yield. The results also showed that the trehalose content and the expression of the genes MSN2, SSA3 and TPS1 in Y43 were higher than those in the original strain (YE0) under the same stress conditions. Conclusions: A genetically stable mutant strain with high ethanol yield under heat stress was obtained using HEPE. This mutant may be a suitable candidate for the industrial‐scale ethanol production. Significance and Impact of the Study: High‐energy‐pulse‐electron radiation is a new efficient technology in breeding micro‐organisms. The mutant obtained in this work has the advantages in industrial ethanol production under thermostress. 相似文献

The influence of pH, temperature and carbon source (glucose and maltose) on growth rate and ethanol yield of Dekkera bruxellensis was investigated using a full-factorial design. Growth rate and ethanol yield were lower on maltose than on glucose. In controlled
oxygen-limited batch cultivations, the ethanol yield of the different combinations varied from 0.42 to 0.45 g (g glucose)−1 and growth rates varied from 0.037 to 0.050 h−1. The effect of temperature on growth rate and ethanol yield was negligible. It was not possible to model neither growth rate
nor ethanol yield from the full-factorial design, as only marginal differences were observed in the conditions tested. When
comparing three D. bruxellensis strains and two industrial isolates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, S. cerevisiae grew five times faster, but the ethanol yields were 0–13% lower. The glycerol yields of S. cerevisiae strains were up to six-fold higher compared to D. bruxellensis, and the biomass yields reached only 72–84% of D. bruxellensis. Our results demonstrate that D. bruxellensis is robust to large changes in pH and temperature and may have a more energy-efficient metabolism under oxygen limitation
than S. cerevisiae. 相似文献

Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.), an important crop, containing over 50% inulin in its tubers on a dry weight basis is an agricultural and industrial crop with a great potential for production of ethanol and industrial products. Inulin is a good substrate for bioethanol production. Saccharomyces cerevisiae 6525 can produce high concentrations of ethanol, but it cannot synthesize inulinase. In this study, a new integration vector carrying inuA1 gene encoding exoinulinase was constructed and transformed into 18SrDNA site of industrial strain S. cerevisiae 6525. The obtained transformant, BR8, produced 1.1 U mL? 1 inulinase activity within 72 h and the dry cell weight reached 12.3 g L? 1 within 48 h. In a small-scale fermentation, BR8 produced 9.5% (v/v) ethanol, with a productivity rate of 0.385 g ethanol per gram inulin, while wild-type S. cerevisiae 6525 produced only 3.3% (v/v) ethanol in the same conditions. In a 5-L fermentation, BR8 produced 14.0% (v/v) ethanol in fermentation medium containing inulin and 1% (w/v) (NH4)2SO4. The engineered S. cerevisiae 6525 carrying inuA1 converted pure nonhydrolyzed inulin directly into high concentrations of ethanol. 相似文献
