Spray drying was evaluated as a dehydrating method to preserve the postharvest biocontrol agent Candida sake CPA-1. The effect of drying temperature, carrier, growth and rehydrating medium on the survival of the yeast was studied. Outlet temperature had more influence on the death of the cells than inlet temperature, and survival decreased with increasing temperature. Spray drying at an inlet temperature of 150°C was optimum in terms of viability, powder recovery and moisture content of the product. Use of 10% (v/v) skimmed milk as a carrier gave the highest survival and percentage of powder recovery (34-47%). Rich rehydration media were found to be better than water or phosphate buffer, with slight differences on survival. Spray-dried cells were less effective than fresh ones in controlling Penicillium expansum rot on apples. Spray drying of C. sake was not a good dehydration method as it gave low cell survival, poor recovery of product, and low efficacy. 相似文献

Liquid formulation of the biocontrol agent Candida sake by modifying water activity or adding protectants 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
AIMS: To evaluate the effect of modification of water activity (aw) and the addition of protective substances in the preservation medium of liquid formulations of the biocontrol agent Candida sake stored at 4 and 20 degrees C. METHODS AND RESULTS: The aw of the preservation medium of C. sake was modified from 0.72 to 0.95 by adding glycerol or polyethylene glycol (PEG). Moreover, several protectant substances at different concentrations were evaluated. Modification of lower aw-levels (0.721-0.901) with glycerol did not maintain the viability of the yeast cells. Higher aw-levels (0.93-0.95) with either glycerol or PEG improved the viability but not at acceptable viability levels. C. sake cells maintained viabilities >60% when sugars, such as trehalose, and polyols, such as glycerol and PEG were used as protectants in liquid formulations. Moreover, liquid formulations of C. sake stored at 4 degrees C showed higher number of viable counts than at 20 degrees C. When different sugars were tested, all of them, except 10% fructose, resulted in a viability higher than 50% of the C. sake formulations. Biocontrol of liquid formulation treatments was similar to fresh cells in controlling Penicillium expansum on wounded apples. CONCLUSIONS: Sugars such as lactose and trehalose could be considered as good protectants in order to obtain liquid formulations of C. sake cells as they maintain the viability >70% for 4 months at 4 degrees C. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF STUDY: This study shows that a suitable liquid formulation for commercial application can be produced with high viability and conservation of biocontrol efficacy. Moreover, if 10% lactose is the protectant used in the formulation, the economic costs would not be limiting for industrial production. 相似文献

The preservation and shelf-life of formulations of the biocontrol agent Candida sake CPA-1 and starch derivatives as a function of water activity (aW) were studied in terms of the physical stability of the products and cell viability. Formulations of biocontrol products (BCPs), based on combinations of potato starch and pre-gelatinised potato starch (F1 and F2) or maltodextrines (MD) (F3) containing cell protectants, were obtained by fluidised-bed drying. The carriers and the formulated products were stored at 20°C under different aW conditions. The water sorption and water plasticization behaviour of the different products were analysed through the water sorption isotherms and glass transition temperatures (Tg). Likewise, the viability of C. sake over time was determined as a function of the aW. The solubility of the products was also assessed. Although formulations stored at 20°C and low aW (≤?0.33) exhibited a better shelf-life, a significant decrease in cell survival ratio after 180 storage days was observed. Cold storage (5°C) was required to better maintain the cell viability, thus prolonging the shelf-life of BCPs. Formulations containing MD were the most effective at preserving cell viability and also exhibited the highest water solubility. All the formulations were physically stable at ambient temperature; therefore, the cell stability is the critical point at which to establish both the aW levels and temperature during storage. Packaging the product using high water vapour barrier material and under cold storage would be necessary to ensure a high number of viable cells and an effective and competitive BCP. 相似文献

Aims: To prepare commercially acceptable formulations of Bacillus subtilis CPA‐8 by spray‐drying with long storage life and retained efficacy to control peach and nectarine brown rot caused by Monilinia spp. Methods and Results: CPA‐8 24‐h‐ and 72‐h‐old cultures were spray dried using 10% skimmed milk, 10% skimmed milk plus 10% MgSO4, 10% MgSO4 and 20% MgSO4 as carriers/protectants. All carriers/protectants gave good percentages of powder recovery (28–38%) and moisture content (7–13%). CPA‐8 survival varied considerably among spray‐dried 24‐h‐ and 72‐h‐old cultures. Seventy‐two hours culture spray dried formulations showed the highest survival (28–32%) with final concentration products of 1·6–3·3 × 109 CFU g?1, while viability of 24‐h‐old formulations was lower than 1%. Spray‐dried 72‐h‐old formulations were selected to subsequent evaluation. Rehydration of cells with water provided a good recovery of CPA‐8 dried cells, similar to other complex rehydration media tested. Spray‐dried formulations stored at 4 ± 1 and 20 ± 1°C showed good shelf life during 6 months, and viability was maintained or slightly decreased by 0·2–0·3‐log. CPA‐8 formulations after 4‐ and 6 months storage were effective in controlling brown rot caused by Monilinia spp. on nectarines and peaches resulting in a 90–100% reduction in disease incidence. Conclusions: Stable and effective formulations of biocontrol agent B. subtilis CPA‐8 could be obtained by spray‐drying. Significance and Impact of the Study: New shelf‐stable and effective formulations of a biocontrol agent have been obtained by spray‐drying to control brown rot on peach. 相似文献

AIM: To maximize the growth (expressed as number of viable cells per millilitre) of the postharvest biocontrol agent Candida sake CPA(-1) at laboratory scale conditions. METHODS AND RESULTS: Growth conditons (aeration, agitation speed and inoculum size) were studied in batch conditions in a 5 l fermenter using molasses and urea as growth medium. Consumption of sugars and urea were analysed. Fed-batch studies were also carried out. Glucose and fructose were consumed during the exponential growth phase and were depleted after 18 h of growth. On the contrary, C. sake cells assimilated sucrose during the stationary phase. There was not growth improvement when fed-batch technology was used. Addition of an extra amount of glucose or molasses after 18 h of growth did not contribute to increase final population. CONCLUSIONS: Maximum growth (about 8 x 10(8 )CFU ml(-1)) was obtained at batch fermentation after 30 h growth at 400 rev min(-1), 150 l h(-1) of air and initial concentration of 106 CFU ml(-1). SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The results obtained in this study are an approach for further upscaling of C. sake production. 相似文献

AIMS: The objective of this work was to determine the role of different compatible solutes in adaptation of Pantoea agglomerans CPA-2 at different stages of growth to solute (0.98, 0.97, 0.96 aw), heat (35 and 40 degrees C) and acidic (pH 4.0, 5.0, 6.0) stress. METHODS AND RESULTS: Solute stress was imposed by using NaCl, glucose or glycerol, and pH was imposed with malic and citric acids. The accumulation of glycine-betaine, ectoine and amino acids in bacterial cells was quantified using high performance liquid chromathography (HPLC). There was a significant (P<0.05) accumulation of glycine-betaine (NaCl modified, 100-150 micromol g(-1) dry weight of cells) and ectoine (glucose modified media, >340 micromol g(-1) dry weight of cells) in the cells over a 48 h incubation period when compared with controls (<10 micromol g(-1) dry weight of cells). Chromatographic profile of amino acids was different with respect to control when NaCl or glucose was used as osmolyte. CONCLUSIONS: Pantoea agglomerans CPA-2 cells synthesised significant amounts of glycine-betaine and ectoine in response to imposed solute stress. However, these compounds and tested amino acids were not involved in cellular adaptation to either heat or pH stress. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This type of information can be effectively applied to improve ecophysiological quality of cells of bacterial biocontrol agents for better survival and biocontrol efficacy in the phyllosphere of plants. 相似文献

AIMS: The effect of modifying the water activity (a(w)) of Pantoea agglomerans growth medium with the ionic solute NaCl on water stress resistance, heat-shock survival and intracellular accumulation of the compatible solutes glycine-betaine and ectoine were determined. METHODS AND RESULTS: The bacterium was cultured in an unmodified liquid medium or that modified with NaCl to 0.98 and 0.97 a(w), and viability of cells evaluated on a 0.96 a(w)-modified solid media to check water stress tolerance. Cells grown under ionic stress had better water stress tolerance than control cells. These cells also had cross-protection to heat stress (30 min, 45 degrees C). The modified cells accumulated substantial amounts of the compatible solutes glycine-betaine and ectoine in contrast to the control cells, which contained little or none of these two compounds. CONCLUSIONS: Improvement in osmotic and thermal tolerance of cells of the biocontrol agent P. agglomerans by modifying growth media with the ionic solute NaCl was achieved. The compatible solutes glycine-betaine and ectoine play a critical role in environmental stress tolerance improvement. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This approach provides a method for improving the physiological quality of inocula and could have implications for formulation and shelf-life of biocontrol agents. 相似文献

AIMS: To study the improvement of tolerance to low water activity (aw) and desiccation during spray drying in Pantoea agglomerans cells subjected to mild osmotic stress during growth. METHODS AND RESULTS: The micro-organism was cultured in an unmodified liquid (control) or in aw-modified media, and viability of these cells was evaluated on unstressed (0.995) and 0.96 aw stressed solid media, in order to check total viability and aw stress tolerance respectively. Significant improvements in viability on unmodified medium were observed with cells grown for 24 h in NaCl 0.98 aw, glycerol 0.98 aw and 0.97 aw and for 48 h in NaCl 0.98 aw and 0.97 aw modified media. Both yield improvements and water stress tolerance were achieved with low aw media. Cells grown for 24 h in NaCl 0.98 aw or for 48 h in NaCl 0.98 aw, 0.97 aw and 0.96 aw, glucose 0.97 aw and glycerol 0.97 aw showed improved aw stress tolerance in comparison with control cells. The best results were obtained with NaCl treatments (0.98 aw and 0.97 aw) which also exhibited better survival rates than control cells during spray-drying process and maintained their efficacy against postharvest fungal pathogens in apples and oranges. CONCLUSIONS: NaCl treatments are very appropriate for improving P. agglomerans low aw tolerance obtaining high production levels and maintaining biocontrol efficacy. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Improving stress tolerance of biocontrol agents could be an efficient way to obtain consistency and maintain efficacy of biological control under practical conditions. 相似文献

AIMS: Investigate the survival of liquid formulations of the biocontrol yeast Pichia anomala J121 at different temperatures, and develop a system for comparative studies of different storage conditions and formulations. METHODS AND RESULTS: The survival of P. anomala in liquid formulations with lactose, starch and trehalose amendments was measured during prolonged storage at temperatures ranging from -20 to +30 degrees C. The relative survival of the stored cells was rapidly estimated by flow cytometry. After 4 weeks incubation at 4 and 10 degrees C, 75-90% of the cells were viable, with no significant differences between the various formulations. Supplementing the storage buffer with lactose or trehalose increased the survival after longer incubations (8 and 12 weeks) at all temperatures (-20 to 30 degrees C). Trehalose was the most effective protectant at 20 and 30 degrees C (>20% viable cells after 12 weeks at 20 degrees C). The biocontrol activity was maintained after formulation and prolonged storage of P. anomala. CONCLUSIONS: The storage potential of liquid formulated P. anomala cells can be increased by supplementation with lactose or trehalose. The combination of a custom made incubation chamber and flow cytometry was suitable to evaluate stability of P. anomala formulations. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Liquid formulated P. anomala have a long shelf life. The developed test system can be used to study different formulations of other biocontrol agents. 相似文献

ABSTRACTCompletion of the whole genome sequence of a laboratory yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae in 1996 ushered in the development of genome-wide experimental tools and accelerated subsequent genetic study of S. cerevisiae. The study of sake yeast also shared the benefit of such tools as DNA microarrays, gene disruption-mutant collections, and others. Moreover, whole genome analysis of representative sake yeast strain Kyokai no. 7 was performed in the late 2000s, and enabled comparative genomics between sake yeast and laboratory yeast, resulting in some notable finding for of sake yeast genetics. Development of next-generation DNA sequencing and bioinformatics also drastically changed the field of the genetics, including for sake yeast. Genomics and the genome-wide study of sake yeast have progressed under these circumstances during the last two decades, and are summarized in this article.Abbreviations: AFLP: amplified fragment length polymorphism; CGH: comparative genomic hybridization; CNV: copy number variation; DMS: dimethyl succinate; DSW: deep sea water; LOH: loss of heterozygosity; NGS: next generation sequencer; QTL: quantitative trait loci; QTN: quantitative trait nucleotide; SAM: S-adenosyl methionine; SNV: single nucleotide variation 相似文献

Summary The heat shock (HS) response in callus cultures of the ornamental plant Gerbera jamesonii H. Bolus var. hybrida was analyzed. A HS at 35° C or 40° C for 4 h induced (a) the synthesis of several heat shock proteins (HSPs), especially
in the small molecular weight range and some spots corresponding to HSP70 components, and (b) an increase in the steady state
levels of some specific mRNAs. At the nonstressing temperature (26° C), a sustainable level of translation for HSP70 was indeed
carried out, as confirmed by immunological analysis with a monoclonal antibody against cotton HSP70. The steady state levels
of mRNAs measured before and after a HS by Northern hybridization showed an increase with the heterologous probes HSP17.4,
HSP17.6, and HSP21, whereas the probes HSC70 and HSP70 did not show any difference between the levels of control and HS-mRNAs.
A pretreatment at 35° C, which induced a set of HSPs in the callus cultures, decreased the cell damage upon exposure to a
temperature of 45° C as determined either with a regrowth test or by the tetrazolium reduction assay. Typically, as with the
whole plants, callus of Gerbera jamesonii possessed the ability to respond to HS both by inducing HSPs and by developing an acquired thermotolerance. 相似文献

Abstract. Anoxia induced by nitrogen or carbon dioxide, or hypoxic/hypobaric conditions generated by a partial vacuum sensitizes red-eye pharate adults of Sarcophaga crassipalpis Macquart to a high temperature exposure that is normally nonlethal (40C for 2–3 h). Thermotolerance induced by a2h exposure to 40C (under aerobic conditions) doubles the pharate adults' tolerance to 45C but provides no protection against a combined exposure to 45C and anoxia, and only modest protection against a combined exposure to 40C and anoxia. Under aerobic conditions, exposing pharate adults to 0C for 2 h increases their tolerance to -10C (rapid cold hardening). Rapid cold hardening at 0C is not induced under anoxia. These results imply that tolerance to high temperatures and rapid cold hardening are dependent on aerobic processes and suggest that certain forms of temperature stress can be further exacerbated with anoxia. 相似文献

Induced thermotolerance in bovine two-cell embryos and the role of heat shock protein 70 in embryonic development 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Induced thermotolerance is a phenomenon whereby exposure to a mild heat shock can induce heat shock proteins (HSP) and other cellular changes to make cells more resistant to a subsequent, more severe heat shock. Given that the 2-cell bovine embryo is very sensitive to heat shock, but can also produce HSP70 in response to elevated temperature, experiments were conducted to test whether 2-cell embryos could be made to undergo induced thermotolerance. Another objective was to test the role of the heat-inducible form of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70i) in development and sensitivity of bovine embryos to heat shock. To test for induced thermotolerance, 2-cell bovine embryos were first exposed to a mild heat shock (40 degrees C for 1 hr, or 41 degrees C or 42 degrees C for 80 min), allowed to recover at 38.5 degrees C and 5% (v/v) CO2 for 2 hr, and then exposed to a severe heat shock (41 degrees C for 4.5, 6, or 12 hr). Regardless of the conditions, previous exposure to mild heat shock did not reduce the deleterious effect of heat shock on development of embryos to the blastocyst stage. The role of HSP70i in embryonic development was tested in two experiments by culturing embryos with a monoclonal antibody to the inducible form of HSP70. At both 38.5 degrees C and 41 degrees C, the proportion of 2-cell embryos that developed to blastocyst was reduced (P < 0.05) by addition of anti-HSP70i to the culture medium. In contrast, sensitivity to heat shock was not generally increased by addition of antibody. In conclusion, bovine 2-cell embryos appear incapable of induced thermotolerance. Lack of capacity for induced thermotolerance could explain in part the increased sensitivity of 2-cell embryos to heat shock as compared to embryos at later stages of development. Results also implicate a role for HSP70i in normal development of bovine embryos. 相似文献

Thermotolerance and trehalose accumulation induced by heat shock in yeast cells of Candida albicans 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Juan Carlos Argüelles 《FEMS microbiology letters》1997,146(1):65-71
Candida albicans yeast cells growing exponentially on glucose are extremely sensitive to severe heat shock treatments (52.5°C for 5 min). When these cultures were subjected to a mild temperature preincubation (42°C), they became thermotolerant and displayed higher resistance to further heat stress. The intracellular content of trehalose was very low in exponential cells, but underwent a marked increase upon non-lethal heat exposure. The accumulation of trehalose is likely due to heat-induced activation of the trehalose-6-phosphate synthase complex, whereas the external trehalase remained practically unmodified. After a temperature reversion shift (from 42°C to 28°C), the pool of trehalose was rapidly mobilized without any concomitant change in trehalase activity. These results support an important role of trehalose in the mechanism of acquired thermotolerance in C. albicans and seem to exclude the external trehalase as a key enzyme in this process. 相似文献

AIM: To evaluate the effect of modifications of water activity (aw 0. 996-0.92) of a molasses medium with different solutes (glycerol, glucose, NaCl, proline or sorbitol) on growth, intracellular water potentials (psi(c)) and endogenous accumulation of polyols/sugars in the biocontrol yeast Candida sake. METHODS AND RESULTS: Modification of solute stress significantly influenced growth, psi(c) and accumulation of sugars (glucose/trehalose) and polyols (glycerol, erythritol, arabitol and mannitol) in the yeast cells. Regardless of the solute used to modify aw, growth was always decreased as water stress increased. Candida sake cells grew better in glycerol- and proline-amended media, but were sensitive to NaCl. The psi(c) measured using psychrometry showed a significant effect of solutes, aw and time. Cells from the 0.96 aw NaCl treatment presented the lowest psic value (- 5.20 MPa) while cells from unmodified media (aw = 0. 996) had the highest value (- 0.30 MPa). In unmodified medium, glycerol was the predominant reserve accumulated. Glycerol and arabitol were the major compounds accumulated in media modified with glucose or NaCl. In proline media, the concentration of arabitol increased. In glycerol- and sorbitol-amended media, the concentration of glycerol rose. Some correlations were obtained between compatible solutes and psi(c). CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE: This study demonstrates that subtle changes in physiological parameters significantly affect the endogenous contents of C. sake cells. It may be possible to utilize such physiological information to develop biocontrol inocula with improved quality. 相似文献

AIMS: To improve viability and biocontrol efficacy of Cryptococcus laurentii after freeze drying and in subsequent storage. METHODS AND RESULTS: Viability of C. laurentii was improved after freeze drying and in subsequent storage at 4 or 25 degrees C by using skimmed milk (SM) and sugars (glucose, galactose, sucrose and trehalose) as protectants. Sugars and SM mixed together showed better protection than when they were used separately. Citric acid used as carbon source could induce accumulation of intracellular trehalose in the yeast. The yeast cells with high trehalose level (HT cells) had higher viability than those with low trehalose level (LT cells) after freeze drying and storage for 90 days. After storage for 90 days at 4 degrees C, the HT cells plus SM and sugars as protectant showed a similar biocontrol effect against blue mould rot in apple fruit caused by Penicillium expansum as fresh cells. CONCLUSIONS: Increasing intracellular trehalose content of C. laurentii and adding exogenous protectant (sugars + SM) could improve its viability and maintain its biocontrol efficacy. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The results have a potential value for commercial application of C. laurentii. 相似文献

Two new ascomycetous yeast species belonging to the Starmerella clade were discovered in nests of two solitary bee species in the Atlantic rain forest of Brazil. Candida riodocensis was isolated from pollen-nectar provisions, larvae and fecal pellets of nests of Megachile sp., and Candida cellae was found in pollen-nectar provisions of Centris tarsata. Analysis of the sequences of the D1/D2 large-subunit ribosomal DNA showed that C. riodocensis is phylogenetically related to C. batistae, and the closest relative of C. cellae is C. etchellsii. The type strains are C. riodocensis UFMG-MG02 (=CBS 10087(T) = NRRL Y-27859(T)) and C. cellae UFMG-PC04 (=CBS 10086(T) = NRRL Y-27860(T)). 相似文献

Candida sake CPA-1 is an antagonistic yeast that has previously been shown to effectively control Botrytis bunch rot in grapes. The efficacy of biological control agents is dependent on their survival, which may also depend on climatic conditions. However, few studies have evaluated the effect of abiotic factors affecting the survival of biological control agents, such as temperature (T) or relative humidity (RH). In this study, efficacy of C. sake (5 × 107 CFU mL−1), which was applied with the additive Fungicover (FC; 50 g L−1), was tested against BBR in the laboratory and in field trials under the Atlantic climate conditions of the Bordeaux region (France). The study also evaluated the survival of C. sake under T and RH regimes simulated in climatic chambers. Two or five applications of C. sake plus FC during the growing season significantly reduced BBR severity at harvest by 48% and 82%, respectively, when compared to the control. Similar reductions were achieved after inoculation with selected virulent Botrytis cinerea strains (75% compared to control) in laboratory experiments. C. sake populations showed minimal decreases between field applications and were favored by simulated Atlantic climate conditions. The survival pattern of C. sake exposed to 40 and 45 °C combined with 30% and 100% of RH was described, demonstrating a sharp decrease during the first 24 h. Allowing 48 h for C. sake to incubate and become established on fruits prior to the exposure to 40 °C and 30% RH increased survival (P < 0.05). These results confirm the efficacy of treatment with C. sake plus FC under favorable climatic conditions for BBR development, while survival studies may help to improve the survival and efficacy of yeast BCAs, such as C. sake CPA-1. 相似文献
