Production of citric and oxalic acids and solubilization of calcium phosphate by Penicillium bilaii. 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
An isolate of Penicillium bilaii previously reported to solubilize mineral phosphates and enhance plant uptake of phosphate was studied. Using agar media with calcium phosphate and the pH indicator alizarin red S, the influence of the medium composition on phosphate solubility and medium acidification was recorded. The major acidic metabolites produced by P. bilaii in a sucrose nitrate liquid medium were found to be oxalic acid and citric acid. Citric acid production was promoted under nitrogen-limited conditions, while oxalic acid production was promoted under carbon-limited conditions. Citric acid was produced in both growth and stationary phases, but oxalic acid production occurred only in stationary phase. When submerged cultures which normally produce acid were induced to sporulate, the culture medium shifted toward alkaline rather than acid reaction with growth. 相似文献

Morphology and citric acid production of Aspergillus niger PM 1 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary
Aspergillus niger PM 1 was grown in a tubular loop and a stirred tank bioreactor. Batch fermentations were performed under various agitation conditions and pH. Citric acid, oxalic acid, extracellular polysaccharides and proteins were assayed. The following morphological parameters were measured: mean perimeter of clumps, mean perimeter of the central core of clumps, mean length of filaments and mean diameter of filaments. Citric acid production and morphology in both reactors were dependent on agitation intensity and pH. The length of the filaments was shown to be the only parameter that could be related to citric acid production in both reactors: the shorter the filaments the more citric acid was produced. However, for the same amount of citric acid produced the morphology of the organism grown in the stirred tank differed considerably from that grown in the loop reactor. 相似文献

The fungus Sclerotium rolfsii is presently under development as a bioherbicide for broadleaf weed species using fungus-infested substrates as application material in this laboratory. The effect of environmental factors and three precursors (citric acid, ascorbic acid, and sodium succinate) on mycelial growth, oxalic acid production, and virulence by SC64 in liquid culture were investigated. The results showed that for mycelia growth the optimum liquid medium was Modified Richard's solution (MRS) among the five tested media, but potato dextrose broth (PDB) produced the maximum oxalic acid production and virulence on detached Solidago canadensis leaves. When PDB was used as the basic medium, the oxalic acid/mycelial dry weight (mg g–1) ratio reached the peak 4 days after inoculation. The optimum temperature for oxalic acid production was at 27°C, but increased mycelial dry weight and virulence were observed at 30°C. The optimum range of initial pH value for oxalic acid accumulation was 4.0–6.0, with the optimal pH 5.0; highest mycelial growth was with an initial pH 3.5–6.0 (optimum pH 5.0) and subsequently pH 3.5–5.5 (maximum at pH 3.5). Both mycelial dry weight and oxalic acid production showed a decreasing trend as a result of the precursor of oxalic acid being added to PDB. Among the three precursors, the greatest decrease in mycelial dry weight, and oxalic acid production was caused by sodium succinate. This clarification of optimal conditions for production of mycelial biomass while insuring high concentrations of oxalic acid and high virulence should be useful for further development of this fungus as biocontrol agent. 相似文献

The Rhizobium sp., isolated from the root nodules of the leguminous fodder herb Melilotus alba, produced large amounts of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) (963.5 μg/ml) in a yeast extract mannitol medium. Growth and EPS production started simultaneously, but EPS production reached its maximum during the stationary phase of growth of the bacteria, at 20 hours. EPS production was increased with all of the thirteen sugars tested. Different nitrogen sources, such as nitrates, glutamic acid, casamino acid and L-asparagine, increased the EPS production although it was inhibited by glycine, nitrite and ammonium salts. Among the vitamins and metal ions, only pyridoxal phosphate and ZnSO4 promoted EPS production. Attempts were made to optimize the cultural requirements for growth and maximum EPS production. Maximum EPS production (1457.0 μg/ml) was obtained when the medium was supplemented with glucose (1%), pyridoxal phosphate (2 μ g/ml), ZnSO4 × 7 H2O (10 μg/ml) and glutamic acid (0.1%). Under these conditions, the production was increased by 254.3% compared to the control. The EPS contained arabinose, xylose and rhamnose monomers. The presence of arabinose and xylose in the EPS produced by a Rhizobium sp. was uncommon. 相似文献

Geoactive fungi play a significant role in bioweathering of rock and mineral substrates. Monazite is a phosphate mineral containing the rare earth elements (REE) cerium, lanthanum and neodymium. Little is known about geomicrobial transformations of REE-bearing minerals which are also relevant to REE biorecovery from terrestrial and extra-terrestrial reserves. The geoactive soil fungus Aspergillus niger colonized monazite in solid and liquid growth media without any apparent growth inhibition. In a glucose-minerals salts medium, monazite enhanced growth and mycelium extensively covered rock particle surfaces, probably due to the provision of phosphate and essential trace metals. Teeth-like and pagoda-like etching patterns indicated monazite dissolution, with extensive precipitation of secondary oxalate minerals. Biomechanical forces ensued causing aggressive bioweathering effects by tunnelling, penetration and splitting of the ore particles. High amounts of oxalic acid (~46 mM) and moderate amounts of citric acid (~5 mM) were produced in liquid media containing 2% (wt./vol.) monazite, and REE and phosphate were released. Correlation analysis suggested that citric acid was more effective than oxalic acid in REE mobilization, although the higher concentration of oxalic acid also implied complexant activity, as well as the prime role in REE-oxalate precipitation. 相似文献

High-yield production of oxalic acid for metal leaching processes by Aspergillus niger 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Abstract The complex-forming compound oxalic acid can effectively solubilise metals such as aluminium, iron, lithium, and manganese. In order to produce high amounts of oxalic acid for biohydrometallurgical processes, it was the aim of this work to optimise oxalic acid production by Aspergillus niger , a fungus well known for its ability to produce oxalic acid. A. niger excreted 427 mmol oxalic acid 1−1 if it was cultivated in a pH-controlled (pH 6.0) fed-batch run in a 2-1 stirred tank reactor. Sucrose and lactose permeate were suitable carbon sources for oxalic acid production. In sucrose medium, A. niger produced high amounts of gluconic and oxalic acids, whereas in lactose permeate medium only oxalic acid was produced. Cultivation in green syrup and molasses media lead to high yields of biomass, but low oxalic acid production (<20 mmol 1−1 ). 相似文献

An efficient phosphate-solubilizing plant growth–promoting Acinetobacter rhizosphaerae strain BIHB 723 exhibited significantly higher solubilization of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) than Udaipur rock phosphate (URP),
Mussoorie rock phosphate (MRP) and North Carolina rock phosphate (NCRP). Qualitative and quantitative differences were discerned
in the gluconic, oxalic, 2-keto gluconic, lactic, malic and formic acids during the solubilization of various inorganic phosphates
by the strain. Gluconic acid was the main organic acid produced during phosphate solubilization. Formic acid production was
restricted to TCP solubilization and oxalic acid production to the solubilization of MRP, URP and NCRP. A significant increase
in plant height, shoot fresh weight, shoot dry weight, root length, root dry weight, and root, shoot and soil phosphorus (P)
contents was recorded with the inoculated treatments over the uninoculated NP0K or NPTCPK treatments. Plant growth promotion as a function of phosphate solubilization suggested that the use of bacterial strain
would be a beneficial addition to the agriculture practices in TCP-rich soils in reducing the application of phosphatic fertilizers. 相似文献

ARhizobium species isolated from the root nodules of the sensitive plant,Mimosa pudica, produced 60 mg/L of 3-indoleacetic acid (IAA) froml-tryptophan in culture. The production of IAA started simultaneously with the growth and had no different growth or production
phase. The stationary phase of growth was reached after 55 h, but the production of IAA increased gradually up to 80 h, and
then remained constant. The IAA production could be promoted in the culture medium up to 365% by supplementing the medium
with maltose, CuSO4 and Triton X-100. 相似文献

Summary Callus culture ofDioscorea
deltoidea produced diosgenin and sterols during stationary phase. Ammonium nitrate (420 mg Nitrogen/l) as sole nitrogen source supported better growth than a combination of ammonium nitrate and potassium nitrate (totally equivalent to 840 mg Nitrogen/l). The production of diosgenin increased under low phosphate concentration (100 mg/l) whereas high phosphate concentration (240 mg/l) promoted growth. Micronutrients, when used at 1 1/2 strength, enhanced growth and diosgenin production. Depletion of nitrogen increased the diosgenin synthesis by a factor of 2. Adoption of a two stage culture method enhanced the diosgenin production in cultured cells by eight-fold. 相似文献

Sixty-seven strains belonging to 47 species of Basidiomycetes were examined for their acid-producing abilities in glucose media, in both the presence and absence of CaCO3, in stationary and shake cultures. Some strains were found to produce large quantities of oxalic acid. The oxalic acid-producing strains could be separated into two groups. Strains of one group (mostly brown-rot fungi) were able to produce oxalic acid, regardless of whether CaCO3 was present in the medium. Strains of the other group (mostly white-rot fungi) were characterized by their ability to produce oxalic acid only when CaCO3 was added to the medium. With the latter group, shake-culturing was generally more effective than stationary culturing in respect to acid production. In the CaCO3-containing media, Schizophyllum commune, Merulius tremellosus, and Porodisculus pendulus were found to produce substantial amounts of L-malic acid as a main metabolic product, along with small quantities of oxalic and other acids in shake cultures. Especially, S. commune and M. tremellosus may be employed as malic acid-producing species. 相似文献

Oxalic acid-producing fungi play an important role in biogeochemical transformations of rocks and minerals and possess biotechnological potential for extraction of valuable elements from primary or waste ores and other solid matrices. This research investigates the extraction of phosphate from rock phosphate (RP) by oxalic acid. Reaction parameters were derived using pure oxalic acid solutions to solubilize RP. It was found that the oxalic acid concentration was the main factor driving reaction kinetics. Excess oxalic acid could retard the reaction due to calcium oxalate encrustation on RP surfaces. However, complete P extraction was reached at stoichiometric proportions of apatite and oxalic acid. This reaction reached completion after 168 h, although most of the P (up to 75%) was released in less than 1 h. Most of the Ca released from the apatite formed sparingly soluble calcium oxalate minerals, with a predominance of whewellite over weddellite. Bioleaching of RP employing biomass-free spent culture filtrates containing oxalic acid (100 mM) produced by Aspergillus niger extracted ~ 74% of the P contained in the RP. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the reaction between apatite and oxalic acid and provide insights for potential applications of this process for biotechnological production of phosphate fertilizer. 相似文献

Two strains of Klebsiella (SM6 and SM11) were isolated from rhizospheric soil that solubilized mineral phosphate by secretion of oxalic acid from glucose. Activities of enzymes for periplasmic glucose oxidation (glucose dehydrogenase) and glyoxylate shunt (isocitrate lyase and glyoxylate oxidase) responsible for oxalic acid production were estimated. In presence of succinate, phosphate solubilization was completely inhibited, and the enzymes glucose dehydrogenase and glyoxylate oxidase were repressed. Significant activity of isocitrate lyase, the key enzyme for carbon flux through glyoxylate shunt and oxalic acid production during growth on glucose suggested that it could be inducible in nature, and its inhibition by succinate appeared to be similar to catabolite repression. 相似文献

In Norway a variant of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis occurs which causes disease in goats but very seldom in sheep and cattle. Cultural and biochemical characteristics of this variant are investigated by comparing different pre-treatment methods and culture media for primary isolation and by subjecting a number of strains to different enzymatic and biochemical tests. Decontamination of materials with 5% oxalic acid and 0.1% benzalkonium chloride and culture on Dubos, Finleyson’s and Herrold’s medium was tested. The investigations showed that the combination oxalic acid decontamination/Dubos’ medium is most suitable for isolation of the goat-pathogenic variant. The morphology of the colonies was also most easily studied after culture on Dubos’ medium from material pre-treated with oxalic acid. The biochemical tests were found to be poorly suitable for the identification of M. paratuberculosis and for its differentiation from other mycobacteria. Mycobactin dependence for growth seems not to be absolute as a few goat strains produced growth on Dubos’ medium without mycobactin. However, growth was in all cases far better in the presence of mycobactin. 相似文献

Isolation of micropropagated strawberry endophytic bacteria and assessment of their potential for plant growth promotion 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Armando C. F. Dias Francisco E. C. Costa Fernando D. Andreote Paulo T. Lacava Manoel A. Teixeira Laura C. Assumpção Welington L. Araújo João L. Azevedo Itamar S. Melo 《World journal of microbiology & biotechnology》2009,25(2):189-195
Twenty endophytic bacteria were isolated from the meristematic tissues of three varieties of strawberry cultivated in vitro,
and further identified, by FAME profile, into the genera Bacillus and Sphingopyxis. The strains were also characterized according to indole acetic acid production, phosphate solubilization and potential for
plant growth promotion. Results showed that 15 strains produced high levels of IAA and all 20 showed potential for solubilizing
inorganic phosphate. Plant growth promotion evaluated under greenhouse conditions revealed the ability of the strains to enhance
the root number, length and dry weight and also the leaf number, petiole length and dry weight of the aerial portion. Seven
Bacillus spp. strains promoted root development and one strain of Sphingopyxis sp. promoted the development of plant shoots. The plant growth promotion showed to be correlated to IAA production and phosphate
solubilization. The data also suggested that bacterial effects could potentially be harnessed to promote plant growth during
seedling acclimatization in strawberry. 相似文献

Acid and alkaline phosphatase ofMyxococcus coralloides were examined during vegetative growth in a liquid medium. Two extracellular phosphatases and two cell-bound phosphatases,
acid and alkaline in both cases, were produced. The phosphatase production was unaltered by the presence of high concentrations
of inorganic phosphate. Both enzymes were produced constitutively. These two hydrolases were released into the growth medium
during the exponential growth phase (approximately 10% of total activity). The production of these enzymes was modified by
the presence of organic acids and metal ions in the medium. 相似文献

Effect of various fermentation media, carbon sources, nitrogen sources, phosphate concentration and culture requirements includes inoculum levels and age were determined on gentamicin production and biomass dry weight production for Micromonospora echinospora, a gentamicin producing strain. Of the substrates tested, starch as a sole carbon source promoted maximal gentamicin production, while maltose promoted maximal growth. Yeast extract as a sole nitrogen source promoted maximal growth, while soyabean meal for gentamicin production. Increasing phosphate concentration enhanced gentamicin production and observed optimum production at 1.2 g/1 (6% v/v) of phosphate having 72 h old inoculum in the medium. Highest gentamicin production was obtained after cultivation with shaking for 120 h in a medium containing starch 0.75% (w/v), soyabean meal 0.5%, K2HPO4 0.12%, CaCO3 0.4%, FeSO4 0.003% and CoCl2 0.0001%. The gentamicin production was 1.2-fold in this medium as compared to basal medium. 相似文献

Antibiotics are secondary metabolites, generally produced during stationary phase of growth under different nutritional and hydrodynamic stresses. However, the exact mechanisms of the induction of antibiotics production are still not clearly established. In a previous study, the induction of pristinamycins production by Streptomyces pristinaespiralis as well as product concentrations were correlated with power dissipation per unit of volume (P/V) in shaking flasks. In this study, detailed kinetics of growth, substrate consumption, oxygen transfer rate and pristinamycins production under varying P/V conditions have been obtained and analyzed. Our results showed that higher P/V resulted in a higher concentration of biomass and promoted an earlier nutrient limitation and ultimately an earlier induction of pristinamycins production. The maximal specific growth rate, specific oxygen consumption rate and specific consumption rate of glutamate increased with P/V while influence was less marked with specific consumption rate of glucose, arginine, ammonium ions and phosphate. When oxygen uptake rate (OUR) was limited by free-surface oxygen transfer, pristinamycins production was not detected despite the occurrence of nitrogen and/or phosphate sources limitation. The threshold value for OUR observed was around 25 mmol L(-1) h(-1). This suggested that a limitation in nitrogen and/or phosphate alone was not sufficient to induce pristinamycins production by S. pristinaespiralis pr11. To induce this production, the oxygen transfer had to be non-limiting. 相似文献

The sodium-dependent strain 184 of Azotobacter chroococcum was unable to grow significantly in iron-limited medium, but did produce iron-repressible outer membrane proteins. Siderophores were not produced under these conditions. Citric acid was excreted, but not in response to iron limitation. This strain, however, was able to grow in insoluble mineral iron sources, and under these conditions the cells produced a hydroxamate. Growth on minerals and hydroxamate production was dependent on a low level of freely exchangeable iron. Optimal hydroxamate production was observed with 0.75 μM ferric citrate, and hydroxamate production was repressed by >5 μM iron. Despite this iron requirement, hyroxamate was only formed during internal iron limitation of the cells. Iron-containing cells were able to grow in iron-limited medium but only produced hydroxamate when their iron-per-cellular-protein content was low. These results, the spectral changes observed upon Fe3+ addition, and iron-uptake coincident with hydroxamate production suggested that the hydroxamate was a siderophore. 相似文献

红壤中镉在有机酸作用下的解吸行为 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
采用平衡批处理法,研究了3种有机酸及其两两混合液在序列pH值梯度下(pH 3.0~7.0)对华南山地红壤Cd解吸行为的影响.结果表明,草酸与苹果酸不利于Cd的解吸,反而促进了吸附,其中草酸只是在较高浓度(20 mmol·L-1)且土壤溶液pH>5.0时促进解吸.随着pH值升高,草s酸、苹果酸以及不含有机酸的对照溶液对红壤中Cd的解吸率都快速下降.柠檬酸在pH<5.0时不利于Cd解吸;在pH>5.0时显著促进Cd解吸,但两种浓度柠檬酸解吸特征有所不同,在低浓度(2 mmol·L-1)下对镉的解吸率呈降低-升高-降低变化,在高浓度(20 mmol·L-1)下呈降低-升高变化.在低pH条件下(pH 3.0、4.0),苹果酸最有利于Cd的解吸,但3种酸对Cd解吸率差别不大,在较高pH条件下(pH 5.0~7.0),柠檬酸最有利于解吸,且解吸率大大高于草酸与苹果酸.有机酸混合没有明显的交互作用,对Cd的解吸率介于相应单独有机酸之间. 相似文献

Sixty two filamentous fungi isolated from paint coatings, wallpaper, carton-gypsum board, and indoor air in buildings were screened for acid activity. It was found that 64.5% of strains produce acids on medium with bromo-cresol purple, where 18% of the strains were distinguished by very high acid activity (acid activity coefficient Q = 1.32–2.83), including the species:Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus versicolor, Penicillium expansum, Penicillium brevicom pactum, Penicillium chrysogenum, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Stachybotrys chartarum, Mucor globosus, Ulocladium chartarum andAlternaria alternata. Research indicated that filamentous fungi considerably decrease the pH of the medium when that medium containing building material. The greatest acid production and pH decrease of the medium was observed during the growth of filamentous fungi in a medium with mortar, while the production of acids was less in a medium with cartongypsum board, gypsum, and wallpaper. Filamentous fungi produced succinic, oxalic, malic and fumaric acids in the medium with indoor building materials. It was stated that the type of building material affects the spectrum and quantity of organic acids produced by filamentous fungi. 相似文献
