木质纤维素的微生物降解

木质纤维素广泛存在于自然界中,因结构复杂,其高效降解需要多种微生物的协同互作,由于参与木质纤维素降解的微生物种类繁多,其协同降解机理尚不完全明确。随着微生物分子生物学和组学技术的快速发展,将为微生物协同降解木质纤维素机制的研究提供新的方法和思路。笔者前期研究发现,细菌复合菌系在50℃下表现出强大的木质纤维素降解能力,菌系由可分离培养和暂时不可分离培养细菌组成,但是可分离培养细菌没有降解能力。通过宏基因组和宏转录组研究表明,与木质纤维素降解相关的某些基因表达量发生显著变化,通过组学方法有可能更加深入解释微生物协同降解木质纤维素的微生物学和酶学机理。文中从酶、纯培养菌株和复合菌群三个方面综述了木质纤维素微生物降解研究进展,着重介绍了组学技术在解析复合菌群作用机理方面的现状和应用前景,以期为探索微生物群落协同降解木质纤维素的机理提供借鉴。

瘤胃微生物对纤维素降解机理

Cellulose production by Gluconacetobacter hansenii in a medium containing ethanol

The addition of 1% (v/v) ethanol to the basal medium inhibited growth of Gluconacetobacter hansenii but decreased the numbers of non-cellulose producing cells. Cellulose production increased 1.7 times to approx. 2.5 g l(-1) and showed a pattern of mixed growth-associated production. Microbial cells produced rigid pellicle-type bacterial cellulose as the shell of a large lump of bacterial cellulose like a static culture. The inoculum cultivated for 3 d maintained cellulose production by the fifth batch.

典型产纤维小体梭菌的遗传改造及其在纤维素乙醇中的应用研究进展简

以解纤维梭菌（ Clostridium cellulolyticum）和热纤梭菌（ Clostridium thermocellum）为代表的产纤维小体梭菌可以直接完成从木质纤维素原料到乙醇的生物转化,是用于通过整合生物加工技术生产纤维素乙醇的优良候选菌株。然而,这些产纤维小体梭菌的纤维素降解效率及乙醇产量尚不能满足工业化生产的要求,其遗传改造技术的不成熟严重制约了通过定向代谢工程改造提高生产性能的进程。针对这些典型的产纤维小体菌株,各国科学家近年来在基于二类内含子的嗜中温及嗜高温遗传改造平台建立方面取得了较大突破,并通过靶向代谢工程改造,显著提高纤维素乙醇的产量。笔者对这些前期研究工作以及国内外相关研究成果进行系统的总结,并对构建的遗传改造工具的应用前景进行展望。     

Role of phosphatidylinositol (PI) in ethanol production and ethanol tolerance by a high ethanol producing yeast

The effect of inositol addition on phospholipids, cell growth, ethanol production and ethanol tolerance in a high ethanol producing Saccharomyces sp were studied. Addition of inositol greatly influenced major phospholipid synthesis. With inositol in the fermentation medium, phosphatidylinositol (PI) content was increased, while phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) were decreased. However, without inositol in the fermentation medium, PI content dropped down within 24 h, then increased, but was lower than in the presence of inositol. When yeast cells had a higher content of PI, they produced ethanol much more rapidly and tolerated higher concentrations of ethanol. During ethanol shock treatment at 18% (v/v) ethanol, yeast cells with a higher concentration of PI lost their viability much more slowly than those with a lower concentration of PI, indicating that the PI content in these yeast cells can play an important role in ethanol production and ethanol tolerance. Fatty acids and ergosterol were not responsible for high ethanol tolerance and high ethanol production in this yeast strain.

Enhancement of methane production from cassava residues by biological pretreatment using a constructed microbial consortium

In the study, a stable thermophilic microbial consortium with high cellulose-degradation ability was successfully constructed. That several species of microbes coexisted in this consortium was proved by DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) and sequence analysis. The cooperation and symbiosis of these microbes in this consortium enhanced their cellulose-degradation ability. The pretreatment of cassava residues mixing with distillery wastewater prior to anaerobic digestion was investigated by using this microbial consortium as inoculums in batch bioreactors at 55 °C. The experimental results showed that the maximum methane yield (259.46 mL/g-VS) of cassava residues was obtained through 12 h of pretreatment by this microbial consortium, which was 96.63% higher than the control (131.95 mL/g-VS). In addition, it was also found that the maximum methane yield is obtained when the highest filter paper cellulase (FPase), carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) and xylanase activity and soluble COD (sCOD) are produced.     

Study of the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose for production of fuel ethanol by the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process

The biochemical conversion of cellulosic biomass to ethanol, a promising alternative fuel, can be carried out efficiently and economically using the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process. The SSF integrates the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose, catalyzed by the synergistic action of cellulase and beta-glucosidase, with the fermentative synthesis of ethanol. Because the enzymatic step determines the ethanol. Because the enzymatic step determines the availability of glucose to the ethanologenic fermentation, the kinetic of cellulose hydrolysis by cellulase and beta-glucosidase and the susceptibility of the two enzymes to inhibition by hydrolysis and fermentation products are of significant importance to the SSF performance and were investigated under realistic SSF conditions. A previously developed SSF mathematical model was used to conceptualize the depolymerization of cellulose. The model was regressed to the collected data to determine the values of the enzyme parameters and was found to satisfactorily predict the kinetics of cellulose hydrolysis. Cellobiose and glucose were identified as the strongest inhibitors of cellulase and beta-glucosidase, respectively. Experimental and modeling results are presented in light of the impact of enzymatic hydrolysis on fuel ethanol production. (c) 1993 Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Degradation of raw corn stover powder (RCSP) by an enriched microbial consortium and its community structure

A microbial consortium with a high cellulolytic activity was enriched to degrade raw corn stover powder (RCSP). This consortium degraded more than 51% of non-sterilized RCSP or 81% of non-sterilized filter paper within 8 days at 40 °C under facultative anoxic conditions. Cellulosome-like structures were observed in scanning electron micrographs (SEM) of RCSP degradation residue. The high cellulolytic activity was maintained during 40 subcultures in a medium containing cellulosic substrate. Small ribosomal gene sequence analyses showed the consortium contains uncultured and cultured bacteria with or without cellulolytic activities. Among these bacteria, some are anaerobic others aerobic. Analyses of the culture filtrate showed a typical anoxic polysaccharide fermentation during the culturing process. Reducing sugar concentration increased at early stage followed by various fermentation products that were consumed at the late stage.
