Regulation of extracellular alkaline protease activity by histidine in a collagenolytic Vibrio alginolyticus strain

Vibrio alginolyticus synthesized an inducible extracellular collagenase in a peptone medium during the stationary growth phase. These cultures also possessed extracellular alkaline serine protease activity. The alkaline protease activity did not require a specific inducer and it was produced in tryptone or minimal media. The collagenase was not produced in either the tryptone or minimal media. The alkaline protease activity was sensitive to catabolite repression by a number of carbon sources, including glucose, and by amino acids and ammonium ions. Cyclic AMP, dibutyryl cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP did not relieve catabolite repression. Histidine and urocanic acid stimulated the production of alkaline protease activity in tryptone and minimal media. Other compounds associated with the histidine utilization (hut) pathway did not increase alkaline protease activity. Histidine reversed the repression of alkaline protease activity by glucose of (NH4)2SO4 in minimal medium. Histidine and the compounds associated with the hut pathway inhibited collagenase production.     

Enhanced antibiotic activity of Xenorhabdus nematophila by medium optimization

Nutrition had highly influence on the antibiotic production by Xenorhabdus nematophila YL001. Glucose and peptone were identified as the best carbon and nitrogen sources that significantly affected antibiotic production using one-factor-at-a-time approach. Response surface methodology was applied to optimize the medium constituents (Glucose, peptone and minerals) for antibiotic production by X. nematophila YL001. Higher antibiotic activity (328.9 U/ml) was obtained after optimizing medium components. The optimal levels of medium components were (g/l): glucose 6.13, peptone 21.29, MgSO(4).7H(2)O 1.50, (NH(4))(2)SO(4) 2.46, KH(2)PO(4) 0.86, K(2)HPO(4) 1.11 and Na(2)SO(4) 1.72. An overall 16% and 35% increase in antibiotic activity were obtained as compared with mean observed response (283.7U/ml) at zero level of all variables and YSG medium.     

Some Cultural Conditions That Control Biosynthesis of Lipid and Aflatoxin by Aspergillus parasiticus

Synthesis of total lipid and aflatoxin by Aspergillus parasiticus as affected by various concentrations of glucose and nitrogen in a defined medium and by different incubation temperatures was studied. Maximal yields of lipid and aflatoxin were obtained with 30% glucose, whereas mold growth, expressed as dry weight, was maximal when the medium contained 10% glucose. Maximal mold growth occurred when the medium contained 3% (NH(4))(2)SO(4); however, 1% (NH(4))(2)SO(4) favored maximum accumulation of lipid and aflatoxin. Growth of mold and synthesis of lipid and toxin also varied with the incubation temperature. Maximal mold growth occurred at 35 C, whereas most toxin appeared at 25 C. Maximal production of lipid occurred at 25 and 35 C but production was more rapid at 35 C. Essentially all glucose in the medium (5% initially) was utilized in 3 days at 25 and 35 C but not in 7 days at 15 and 45 C. Patterns for formation of lipid and aflatoxin were similar at 15 and 25 C when a complete growth medium was used and at 28 C when the substrate contained various concentrations of glucose or (NH(4))(2)SO(4). They were dissimilar when the mold grew at 35 or 45 C. At these temperatures lipid was produced preferentially and only small amounts of aflatoxin appeared.

Organic acid production by Basidiomycetes. 3. Cultural conditions for L-malic acid production

Cultural conditions were examined for the purpose of increasing yields of l-malic acid by the Basidiomycetes Schizophyllum commune and Merulius tremellosus, which have the ability to produce this acid as a main product in CaCO(3)-containing medium in shaken culture. The most favorable nitrogen sources selected were 0.3% (NH(4))(2)SO(4) and 0.18% NH(4)Cl. Effective combinations of inorganic salts in the medium were 0.1% KH(2)PO(4), 0.05% MgSO(4).7H(2)O, and 0.05% KCl, and suitable concentrations of glucose were 5 to 10%. Several nonionic surface-active agents promoted the filamentous mycelial growth of these strains and increased acid production. In particular, Tween 80 in 0.3% concentration markedly stimulated malic acid production by S. commune, and yields greater than 50% based on available glucose, were obtained after 10 to 14 days. Acid production by M. tremellosus was stimulated most with 0.5% Carbowax 4000 (polyethylene glycol), and the resultant yields were more than 40%.     

Optimization of medium composition for lipase production by Candida rugosa NCIM 3462 using response surface methodology

A sequential optimization approach using statistical design of experiments was employed to enhance the lipase production by Candida rugosa in submerged batch fermentation. Twelve medium components were evaluated initially using the Plackett-Burman 2-level factorial design. The significant variables affecting lipase production were found to be glucose, olive oil, peptone, (NH4)2SO4, and FeCl3.6H2O. Various vegetable oils were tested in the second step, and among them, groundnut oil was found to be the best inducer for lipase production by C. rugosa. The third step was to identify the optimal values of the significant medium components with groundnut oil as the inducer using response surface methodology. The regression equation obtained from the experimental data designed using a central composite design was solved, and analyzing the response surface contour plots, the optimal concentrations of the significant variables were determined. A maximum lipase activity of 5.95 U.mL-1, which is 1.64 times the maximum activity obtained in the Plackett-Burman experimental trials, was observed. The optimum combination of medium constituents contained 19.604 g.L-1 glucose, 13.065 mL.L-1 groundnut oil, 7.473 g.L-1 peptone, 0.962 g.L-1 (NH4)2SO4, 0.0019 g.L-1 FeCl3.6H2O, and other insignificant components at the fixed level. A predictive model of the combined effects of the independent variables using response surface methodology and an artificial neural network was proposed. The unstructured kinetic models, logistic model, and Luedeking-Piret model were used to describe cell mass and lipase production. The parameters of the models were evaluated and the lipase production by C. rugosa was found to be growth associated.     

In vivo biosynthesis of peptidophosphogalactomannan in Penicillium charlesii.

The major exocellular glycopeptide (peptidophosphogalactomannan) produced by Penicillum charlesii first appears in the culture filtrate when the growth medium is nearly depleted of NH4+. The extent of incorporation of exogenously supplied radioactive precursors (D-[U-14C] GLUCOSE, L-[U-14C]threonine and NaH2(32)PO4) into peptidophosphogalactomannan suggests that approximately 20% of the total quantity of peptidophosphogalactomannan is assembled from constituents taken from the growth medium before NH4+ starvation and that the remainder is assembled from constituents in the medium during NH4" starvation. In the absence of NH4+, an increase in dry weight continues until the medium is depleted of glucose. However, peptidophosphogalactomannan accumulation proceeds until after glucose is depleted and growth is halted. These data suggest that peptidophosphogalactomannan is a product of cellular turnover.

Membrane-bound enzymes. III. Protease activity in leucocytes in relation to erythrocyte membranes.

Protease activity was detected in membranes of human bovine erythrocytes prepared by the conventional procedures which include washing and removal of the "buffy layer". The enzyme was extracted by 0.75 M KCNS or (NH4)2SO4 and was activated by 0.4 to 0.5 M of the same salts. Colored, particulate hide powder-azure, membrane fractions and soluble proteins such as hemoglobin, casein or albumin were susceptible to hydrolysis by the membraneous protease. Partial purification of the enzyme was accomplished through disc-gel electrophoresis on polyacrylamide in the presence of 0.25% positively charged detergents like cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. An alkaline protease (pH 7.4) with properties similar to those of the erythrocyte enzyme was found in leucocytes. The similarity between the properties of the leucocytic and erythrocytic proteases and the correlation of the activity in erythrocyte membranes with content of white cells in these preparations, suggest that enzymatic activities in the contaminating leucocytes are responsible for the activity of membraneous proteases in erythrocytes.

耐铵型产琥珀酸放线杆菌的选育及铵离子对其生长代谢的影响

经硫酸二乙酯(DES)诱变,在含61～242mmol/LNH4+梯度平板中,筛选到一株耐铵型突变株YZ25,该菌株在含121mmol/LNH4+发酵培养基中,琥珀酸产量达32.68g/L,转化率为65.4%,比出发菌提高了180.5%。进一步考察了不同形态铵盐对YZ25生长的影响,结果表明添加少量铵盐能够提高突变菌的生长速率,但当超过一定量后菌株生长受到抑制,不同铵盐对菌株的抑制程度不同,硫酸铵、碳酸氢铵、氯化铵和硝酸铵对突变株YZ25的半抑制浓度分别为:215mmol/L、265mmol/L、235mmol/L、210mmol/L。为了考察铵离子对YZ25发酵产琥珀酸的影响过程,在3.0L发酵罐以氨水作为pH的调控剂发酵,结果表明在稳定期前菌株生长基本不受铵离子抑制,生物量能够达到正常水平,但是进入稳定期后铵离子抑制作用越来越明显,导致菌株生长提前结束,耗糖不完全,产酸受阻。最后结合产琥珀酸放线杆菌Actinobacillus succinogenes代谢途径分析了铵离子对菌株抑制作用的机理。

Purification of human placental alkaline phosphatase. Salt effects in affinity chromatography

Human placental alkaline phosphatase was chromatographed on Sepharose derivatives of d- and l-phenylalanine, l-leucine, glycine, aniline and p-aminobenzoic acid in high concentrations of (NH(4))(2)SO(4). Retention on these columns was greatest at the highest concentrations of (NH(4))(2)SO(4). By using decreasing concentrations and changing the types of salts, elution was effected from each of the columns. The (NH(4))(2)SO(4)-mediated retention appeared to be related to the hydrophobic character of the substituted Sepharose, rather than to any specific binding site of the enzyme. It is suggested that this provides a way of controlling hydrophobic affinity chromatography. By use of chromatography on l-phenylalanine-Sepharose and of DEAE-Sephadex chromatography in the presence of Triton X-100 detergent, a preparation of highly purified (1000-fold) human placental alkaline phosphatase was obtained in 22% yield.
