Changes in the composition of the membrane lipids and cytosol carbohydrates of the thermophilic fungus Rhizomucor miehei in response to heat shock were studied. Under optimal conditions (41–43°C), high trehalose content (8–11%) was found at all stages of growth of submerged culture. Heat shock (51–53°C) for 1 h did not result in enhanced trehalose synthesis, while increase in shock duration to 3 h resulted in a significant increase in trehalose content. The share of sterols and phosphatidic acids in the membrane lipids increased, while the share of phosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylethanolamines decreased. These processes resulted in increased content of non-bilayer lipids, while the unsaturation degree of the fatty acids of the major phospholipids did not decrease. Comparison of resistance to lethal heat shock in the control and experimental variants of R. miehei revealed that this thermophilic fungus exhibited no acquired heat resistance.  相似文献

Comparative composition of lipids and cytosol soluble carbohydrates at different ambient pH values was studied for two obligately alkaliphilic fungi (Sodiomyces magadii and S. alkalinus) and for two alkalitolerant ones (Acrostalagmus luteoalbus and Chordomyces antarcticus). The differences and common patterns were revealed in responses to pH stress for the fungi with different types of adaptation to ambient pH. While trehalose was one of the major cytosol carbohydrates in alkaliphilic fungi under optimal growth conditions (pH 10.2), pH decrease to 7.0 resulted in doubling its content. In alkalitolerant fungi trehalose was a minor component and its level did not change significantly at different pH. In alkalitolerant fungi, arabitol and mannitol were the major carbohydrate components, with their highest ratio observed under alkaline conditions and the lowest one, under neutral and acidic conditions. In alkaliphiles, significant levels of arabitol were revealed only under alkaline conditions, which indicated importance of trehalose and arabitol for alkaliphily. Decreased pH resulted in the doubling of the proportion of phosphatidic acids among the membrane lipids, which was accompanied by a decrease in the fractions of phosphatidylcholines and sterols. Alkalitolerant fungi also exhibited a decrease in sterol level at decreased pH, but against the background of increased proportion of one of phospholipids. Decreased unsaturation degree in the fatty acids of the major phospholipids was a common response to decreased ambient pH.  相似文献

Adaptive response (changes in the composition of osmolytes and membrane lipids) of the mycelial fungus Aspergillus niger to combinatorial action of oxidative and heat (or osmotic) shocks was studied. Oxidative shock was found to cause no significant changes in the composition of osmolytes. A combination of oxidative shock with other stressors was shown to suppress their adaptive responses, such as accumulation of trehalose (during heat shock) and polyols (during osmotic shock). A common pattern of the changes in membrane lipids observed for all the studied stress factors was an increase in the proportion of non-bilayer phosphatidic acids, which was more pronounced in the case of combinatorial stress effects. No significant changes in the degree of unsaturation of membrane phospholipids were observed. Thus, the studied combinatorial shocks did not result in an additive response and caused a decrease in the amount of osmolytes compared with individual stressors, which weakened the adaptive response of the fungus.

Comparison of the changes in the composition of the membrane lipids and soluble cytosol carbohydrates caused by two types of heat influence (within the tolerance zone and heat shock-level) revealed fundamental differences in the stress response of fungal cells. In three fungal species, Aspergillus niger, Pleurotus ostreatus, and Cunninghamella japonica, increased levels of trehalose and phosphatidic acids were observed under heat shock, while heat influences within the tolerance zone had no such effect. Under heat shock, the ratio of saturated fatty acids did not increase in any of the major phospholipids of all the studied species. This is in contradiction with the existing hypothesis and confirms the previously suggested the hypothesis of membrane stabilization by heat-protecting compounds.  相似文献

Xerophilic fungi accumulate a large amount of glycerol in the cytosol to counterbalance the external osmotic pressure. But during heat shock (HS) majority of fungi accumulate a thermoprotective osmolyte trehalose. Since glycerol and trehalose are synthesized in the cell from the same precursor (glucose), we hypothesised that, under heat shock conditions, xerophiles growing in media with high concentrations of glycerol may acquire greater thermotolerance than those grown in media with high concentrations of NaCl. Therefore, the composition of membrane lipids and osmolytes of the fungus Aspergillus penicillioides, growing in 2 different media under HS conditions was studied and the acquired thermotolerance was assessed. It was found that in the salt-containing medium an increase in the proportion of phosphatidic acids against a decrease in the proportion of phosphatidylethanolamines is observed in the composition of membrane lipids, and the level of glycerol in the cytosol decreases 6-fold, while in the medium with glycerol, changes in the composition of membrane lipids are insignificant and the level of glycerol is reduced by no more than 30%. In the mycelium trehalose level have increased in both media, but did not exceed 1% of dry weight. However, after exposure to HS the fungus acquires greater thermotolerance in the medium with glycerol than in the medium with salt. The data obtained indicate the interrelation between changes in the composition of osmolytes and membrane lipids in the adaptive response to HS, as well as the synergistic effect of glycerol and trehalose.  相似文献

The processes of lipid synthesis and decomposition in Aspergillus niger under conditions of heat shock (HS) were studied in a pulse-chase experiment with 14C-labeled sodium acetate. HS (60 min) resulted in the synthesis of phospholipids and sphingolipids intensified compared to the control, as was evident from incorporation of the labeled substrate. The same pattern was observed for neutral lipids, especially for triacylglycerides, while incorporation of the label into sterols remained almost the same. Further cultivation for 3 h in the medium without the labeled substrate resulted in a significant decrease of the label content in the membrane lipids of both the control and the experiment, although under HS conditions this decrease was much more pronounced, especially for phosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylethanolamines. A threefold increase of the label content in phosphatidic acids was observed only under HS conditions. These results indicate more intense metabolism of the membrane lipids under heat shock and suggest the degradation of the major cell phospholipids as the factor responsible for the increased level of phosphatidic acids in A. niger mycelium.  相似文献

The lipid and fatty acid composition of the blue mussels Mytilus edulis L. gills and digestive glands was evaluated after 24 and 72 h of cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu) exposure. Mussels were exposed to different cadmium (10, 100, and 500 μg/L) and copper (5, 50, and 250 μg/L) concentrations. Similar stress response of predominant membrane phospholipids level as well as polyenoic and non-methylene interrupted (NMI) fatty acids content was observed in mussel gills under both cadmium and copper effects. Increased NMI fatty acids level after 24 h, the metal ions treatment suggests that these acids contribute to the protective response to the membrane oxidative stress caused by accumulation of the metals. The content of cholesterol, some minor membrane phospholipids, and storage lipids (triacylglycerols, TAG) in the mussels’ organs alter significantly under the cadmium and copper effect. A two-step response at the digestive glands TAG level depends on the duration of the cadmium and copper treatments (24 and 72 h) on the mussels. The results demonstrate that Cd and Cu impact has adverse effects on gills and digestive glands lipid and fatty acids composition. The type of observed effects varies with the nature and concentration of the metal ions and depends on the role of the metals in the mussels’ life activity.  相似文献

Ethanol-soluble organic acid, carbohydrate, and amino acid constituents of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) roots and nodules (cytosol and bacteroids) have been identified by gas-liquid chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. Among organic acids, citrate was the predominant compound in roots and cytosol, with malonate present in the highest concentration in bacteroids. These two organic acids together with malate and succinate accounted for more than 85% of the organic acid pool in nodules and for 97% in roots. The major carbohydrates in roots, nodule cytosol, and bacteroids were (descending order of concentration): sucrose, pinitol, glucose, and ononitol. Maltose and trehalose appeared to be present in very low concentrations. Asparagine, glutamate, alanine, γ-aminobutyrate, and proline were the major amino acids in cytosol and bacteroids. In addition to these solutes, serine and glutamine were well represented in roots. When alfalfa plants were subjected to 0.15 m sodium chloride stress for 2 weeks, total organic acid concentration in nodules and roots were depressed by more than 40%, whereas lactate concentration increased by 11, 27, and 94% in cytosol, roots, and bacteroids, respectively. In bacteroids, lactate became the most abundant organic acid and might contribute partly to the osmotic adjustment. On the other hand, salt stress induced a large increase in the amino acid and carbohydrate pools. Within the amino acids, proline showed the largest increase, 11.3-, 12.8-, and 8.0-fold in roots, cytosol, and bacteroids, respectively. Its accumulation reflected an osmoregulatory mechanism not only in roots but also in nodule tissue. In parallel, asparagine concentration was greatly enhanced; this amide remained the major nitrogen solute and, in bacteroids, played a significant role in osmoregulation. On the contrary, the salt treatment had a very limited effect on the concentration of other amino acids. Among carbohydrates, pinitol concentration was increased significantly, especially in cytosol and bacteroids (5.4- and 3.4-fold, respectively), in which this cyclitol accounted for more than 35% of the total carbohydrate pool; pinitol might contribute to the tolerance to salt stress. However, trehalose concentration remained low in both nodules and roots; its role in osmoregulation appeared unlikely in alfalfa.  相似文献

The composition of vacuolar membrane phospholipids in the taproot of red beet (Beta vulgaris L.), cv. Modana, was determined at normal conditions and under different types of stress (hypo- and hyperosmotic and oxidative stress). The experiments have shown that, among vacuolar membrane phospholipids in red beet taproot, phosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylethanolamines dominated and accounted for 70% of total phospholipids. It is interesting that the content of phosphatidic acid was high (20% of total phospholipids of the vacuolar membrane). Stress effects brought about changes in the composition of membrane phospholipids, which may be an element of phenotypic adaptation. Under hypoosmotic stress, reliable changes in the content of phosphatidic acid were observed, hyperosmotic stress was associated with changes in the level of phosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylinositols, and oxidative stress was notable for changes in the content of phosphatidylethanolamines and phosphatidylserines. The most significant changes were observed in the classes of phospholipids that may be involved in structural modification of membranes associated with transformation of their bilayer lamellar structure into hexagonal. These phospholipids comprise phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylcholines, and phosphatidylethanolamines. Revealed changes in the content of these phospholipids may alter the ratio between lamellar bilayer and nonbilayer hexagonal lipid structures in the vacuolar membrane and act as an important adaptation mechanism ensuring protection against stress.  相似文献

Sporangiospores of Blakeslea trispora are in a state of exogenous dormancy, and water is the key factor controlling their germination. A wide range of carbohydrates, ammonium salts, and yeast extract had a weak stimulating effect (less than 50%) on spore germination, whereas amino acids could significantly inhibit this process. Cultivation of B. trispora on sporogenous sucrose- and trehalose-containing media (S and T spores, respectively) resulted in significant changes in spore formation, as well as in the chemical composition of spores and their viability. In the presence of trehalose, the amount of spores increased twofold; spore viability during storage increased as well. All changes in the carbohydrate composition of the cytosol and in the composition of the spore membrane lipids indicated that the dormancy of T spores was deeper than that of S spores, which has a favorable effect on their viability.  相似文献

Comparative study about the salt-induced oxidative stress and lipid composition has been realised in primary root tissues for two varieties of maize (Zea mays L.) in order to evaluate their responses to salt stress. The root growth, root water content (WC), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generation, lipid peroxidation, membrane stability index and the changes in the profile of fatty acids composition were investigated. Salinity impacts in term of root growth, water content, H2O2 generation, lipid peroxidation and membrane destabilisation were more pronounced in primary roots of Aristo than in those of Arper indicating more sensitivity of the first variety. It was confirmed by gas chromatography that the composition of fatty acids in roots of both varieties was constituted mainly by 16:0 and 18:0 as major saturated fatty acids and 18:1ω9, 18:2ω6 and 18:3ω3 as major unsaturated fatty acids. Total lipid extracts from the roots of both varieties showed that the lipid saturation level increased under salt stress, notwithstanding the increased proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The changes in lipid saturation being predominantly due to decreases in oleic acid (18:1ω9) and increases in palmitic acid (16:0). However, Arper root extracts contained a lower proportion of saturated lipids than Aristo. The enhanced proportion of highly polyunsaturated fatty acids especially linolenic and eicosapentaenoic acids was considered to be the characteristic of the relatively salt tolerance in Arper roots.  相似文献

In response to sudden decrease in osmotic pressure, halophilic microorganisms secrete their accumulated osmolytes. This specific stress response, combined with physiochemical responses to the altered environment, influence the membrane properties and integrity of cells, with consequent effects on growth and yields in bioprocesses, such as bacterial milking. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in membrane fluidity and integrity induced by environmental stress in ectoine-secreting organisms. The halophilic ectoine-producing strains Alkalibacillus haloalkaliphilus and Chromohalobacter salexigens were treated hypo- and hyper-osmotically at several temperatures. The steady-state anisotropy of fluorescently labeled cells was measured, and membrane integrity assessed by flow cytometry and ectoine distribution. Strong osmotic downshocks slightly increased the fluidity of the bacterial membranes. As the temperature increased, the increasing membrane fluidity encouraged more ectoine release under the same osmotic shock conditions. On the other hand, combined shock treatments increased the number of disintegrated cells. From the ectoine release and membrane integrity measurements under coupled thermal and osmotic shock conditions, we could optimize the secretion conditions for both bacteria.  相似文献

The possibility was considered that osmotic adjustment, the ability to accumulate solutes in response to water stress, may contribute to growth rate differences among closely-related genotypes of trees. Progeny variation in osmotic adjustment and turgor regulation was investigated by comparing changes in osmotic and pressure potentials, soluble carbohydrates, and amino acids in osmotically stressed seedlings in 4 full-sib progenies of black spruce [ Picea mariana (Mill.) B. S. P.] that differed in growth rate under drought. Osmotic stress was induced by a stepwise increase in the concentration of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-3350 from 10 (w/v) to 18 and 25%, which provided osmotic potentials in solution culture of -0.4, -1.0 and -2.0 MPa each for 3 days. All 4 progenies maintained a positive cell turgor even at 25% PEG, due to a significant decline in osmotic potential. Although total amino acids, principally proline, increased, ca 60% of the decrease in osmotic potential was attributable to soluble carbohydrates and glucose was the major osmoregulating solute. There was little progeny variation in any of measured parameters in unstressed seedlings. Compared to two slower-growing progenies, the two progenies capable of more vigorous growth under drought in the field accumulated more soluble carbohydrates (mainly glucose and fructose), developed lower osmotic potential and maintained higher turgor pressure when osmotically-stressed in solution culture. The ability to adjust osmotically and maintain turgor under drought stress could thus be a useful criterion for the early selection of faster-growing, drought-tolerant genotypes.  相似文献

The review deals with lactic acid bacteria in characterizing the stress adaptation with cross-protection effects, mainly associated with Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Lactococcus. It focuses on adaptation and cross-protection in Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Lactococcus, including heat shocking, cold stress, acid stress, osmotic stress, starvation effect, etc. Web of Science, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and PubMed databases were used for the systematic search of literature up to the year 2020. The literature suggests that a lower survival rate during freeze-drying is linked to environmental stress. Protective pretreatment under various mild stresses can be applied to lactic acid bacteria which may enhance resistance in a strain-dependent manner. We investigate the mechanism of damage and adaptation under various stresses including heat, cold, acidic, osmotic, starvation, oxidative and bile stress. Adaptive mechanisms include synthesis of stress-induced proteins, adjusting the composition of cell membrane fatty acids, accumulating compatible substances, etc. Next, we reveal the cross-protective effect of specific stress on the other environmental stresses. Freeze-drying is discussed from three perspectives including the regulation of membrane, accumulation of compatible solutes and the production of chaperones and stress-responsive proteases. The resistance of lactic acid bacteria against technological stress can be enhanced via cross-protection, which improves industrial efficiency concerning the survival of probiotics. However, the adaptive responses and cross-protection are strain-dependent and should be optimized case by case.  相似文献

Abstract The supercooling points of cold (-10C and -5C) and heat (37 C, 40 C and 45 C) shocked overwintering larvae were nearly the same as that of un-shocked ones (ca. -20C). Temperature shocks enhanced the ability to endure subzero temperature (- 15C, 3 h), and the cold shock treatment had more significant effect on maintaining larval survival than that of heat shock. It is the third insect that heat shock and cold shock enhanced its survival rate under low temperature simultaneously. A special stress protein (MW = 83 kD) was expressed under cold shock at -10 C and heat shock at 40 C or 45 C. It is also a few instances that a stress protein was expressed in the same insect under both heat shock and cold shock simultaneously. Meanwhile, the antioxidant system under different treatments was studied. Rapid cold hardening process had no oxidative stress because of the increase content of reduced glutathione and activity of glutathione reductase, but other treatments had.  相似文献

Abstract Rapid cold hardening is a naturally occurring phenomenon in insects that is thought to be responsible for increased cold tolerance during diurnal variations in temperature. The underlying physiological mechanisms are still not fully resolved but, in Drosophila melanogaster (Meigen 1830), rapid cold hardening is accompanied by specific changes in the membrane lipid composition. To further understand the link between rapid cold hardening and adjustments in the membrane lipid composition, the present study investigates how different rates of cooling affect thermotolerance and the composition of phospholipid fatty acids. Female Drosophila are cooled gradually from 25 to 0 °C at 0.01, 0.05, 0.1 or 0.5 °C min?1, respectively, and, subsequently, phospholipid fatty acid composition and survival after a 1‐h cold shock at ?5 °C is measured. The rapid cold hardening treatments all influence cold tolerance differently so that short and intermediate rapid cold hardening treatments (0.05, 0.1 or 0.5 °C min?1 cooling rates) increase cold shock survival, whereas the slow cooling treatment (0.01 °C min?1) decreases survival relative to an untreated control. The intermediate rapid cold hardening treatments (0.05 or 0.1 °C min?1) induce a similar type of response characterized by an increase in the molar percentage of linoleic acid, 18:2(n‐6), at the expense of 16:0 and 18:1(n‐9), which leads to an increase in the degree of unsaturation. The slowest cooling treatment (0.01 °C min?1) results in a large increase in cis‐16:1(n‐7) and significant reductions in the saturated phospholipid fatty acids 16:0, 18:0 and the unsaturated 16:1(n‐9) and 18:2(n‐6) fatty acids. These changes cause a slight decrease in the average length of the phospholipid fatty acids and an increase in the overall ratio of unsaturated vs. saturated fatty acids. These findings demonstrate that the rate of cooling is important for both the reorganization of membrane lipids, and for the degree of acquired cold tolerance during rapid cold hardening, and they suggest an important role for rapid cold hardening during diurnal rather than seasonal temperature changes.  相似文献

The accumulation of low molecular weight cytoprotective compounds (osmolytes) and changes in the membrane lipids composition are of key importance for the adaptation to stress impacts. However, the reason behind the wide variety of osmolytes present in the cell remains unclear. We suggest that specific functions of osmolytes can be revealed by studying the adaptation mechanisms of the mycelial fungus Emericellopsis alkalina (Hypocreales, Ascomycota) that is resistant to both alkaline pH values and high sodium chloride concentrations. It has been established that the fungus uses different osmolytes to adapt to ambient pH and NaCl concentration. Arabitol was predominant osmolyte in alkaline conditions, while mannitol prevailed in acidic conditions. On the salt-free medium mannitol was the main osmolyte; under optimal conditions (pH 10.2; 0.4 M NaCl) arabitol and mannitol were both predominant. Higher NaCl concentrations (1.0–1.5 M) resulted in the accumulation of low molecular weight polyol - erythritol, which amounted up to 12–14%, w/w. On the contrary, changes in the composition of membrane lipids were limited under pH and NaCl impacts; only higher NaCl concentrations led to the increase in the degree of unsaturation of membrane lipids. Results obtained indicated the key role of the osmolytes in the adaptation to the ambient pH and osmotic impacts.  相似文献
