The influence of some fermentation parameters on the semi-pilot scale (alteration of growth conditions,e.g., sugar concentration, incubation temperature and initial pH) on citrate production was demonstrated in parent and mutant
strains ofAspergillus niger. Raw material from sugar industry (cane molasses) was examined as basal fermentation medium in a stirred stainless-steel
15-L fermentor. After growth on medium with 150 g/L sugar, the parent strain produced 51.2 g/L citric acid; the mutant strain
achieved production maximum of 96.2 g/L. Comparing the growth, kinetic (volumetric substrate uptake rate, rate of substrate
consumption and volumetric productivity rate) and production parameters it was found that the mutant strain grows more rapidly,
with slightly changed morphology (intermediate, shiny round pellets with diameter 0.6–0.7 mm), and exhibits a higher citrate
production and higher efficiency of sugar utilization. 相似文献

Yarrowia lipolytica strain IMK 2, a yeast capable of producing and excreting citric acid, only accumulated citric acid when cell growth was restricted by specific nutrient limitations. Effective citrate accumulation was linked with the ability of cells to maintain a high rate of glucose utilisation when growth was limited. Cells limited by nitrogen (N), sulphur (S), magnesium (Mg) or phosphorus (P) accumulated between 50 and 220 mm citric acid after 168 h, with N and S limitation resulting in the highest specific rates of production. In contrast, potassium (K)-limited cells accumulated 6 mm citric acid in the same time period. Cells limited by K or lower levels of Mg or P had rates of glucose utilisation that were less than 50% of those measured in cells limited by N or S. Although limitation of strain IMK 2 by Mg or P led to citrate production, significant accumulation occured only when the threshold concentration of the limiting nutrient was exceeded. There was no large accumulation of other tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle acids, acetate, pyruvate, lactate or ethanol, although K-limited cells produced quantities of intracellular glycogen. Mannitol was accumulated under N, S and P limitation (up to 40 mm), as were small quantities of 2-oxoglutarate, which preceded the accumulation of citrate and all of the other TCA cycle acids measured. A clear difference was evident between the rates of glucose utilisation under N limitation between two citrate-accumulating strains (IMK 2 and Candida guilliermondii IMK 1) and a citrate non-accumulating strain, Y. lipolytica YB 423. Although these strains had similar rates of glucose utilisation during exponential growth, both strains IMK 1 and IMK 2 had specific rates of glucose utilisation under N limitation more than double that of strain YB 423.Correspondence to: J.

Aspergillus niger Yang No. 2 and its mutant strain SL1 were grown in solid state fermentation. Samples were taken after 2, 4 and 6 days of incubation and the mycelia were analysed for their intracellular concentrations of some organic acids and adenylates and the activities of selected enzymes. Strain Yang No. 2 contained high concentrations of citrate with very little oxalate, while strain SL1 contained lower concentrations of citrate but considerably higher concentrations of oxalate. As the fermentation proceeded, strain Yang No. 2 showed a much higher ratio of ATP:AMP than did strain SL1. In addition, the enzyme ATP:citrate lyase became undetectable during citrate accumulation in strain Yang No. 2, while its activity remained high during oxalate accumulation in strain SL1. It is proposed that citrate accumulation by strain Yang No. 2 during solid state fermentation is due to blockage of its metabolism in the mitochondrion via inhibition of isocitrate dehydrogenase by the high ATP:AMP ratio, and in the cytosol by repression of ATP:citrate lyase activity. 相似文献

Penicillium simplicissimum excreted citrate, isocitrate, and succinate when grown in a strongly buffered medium [1 M Mes (pH 6) or 1 M Hepes (pH 7.3)].
Growth in a weakly buffered medium did not lead to citrate excretion despite a similar intracellular citrate concentration.
When nongrowing, citrate-excreting hyphae were aerated in a glucose solution, the following steady-state intracellular concentrations
of organic acids were measured: succinate (25 mM); citrate, isocitrate, malate, and fumarate (all less than 5 mM). After 2
h of incubation, the extracellular concentrations of these acids were [μmol (g dry wt.)–1]: isocitrate [100], citrate [60], succinate [30], and malate, fumarate, and α-ketoglutarate [<5]. The excretion of citrate
was due neither to an unspecific change in the permeability of the plasma membrane nor to simple diffusion of undissociated
citric acid. The involvement of a transport protein in citrate excretion was indicated because N-ethylmaleimide and sodium azide inhibited citrate excretion strongly despite an unchanged outward-directed citrate gradient.
Arguments are given why efflux via a citrate uptake carrier is not considered probable. These results indicate that citrate
is excreted by P. simplicissimum via a transport protein that probably specifically mediates the efflux of citrate.

Mutant strains of Aspergillus niger with reduced citrate control of carbohydrate catabolism (cic mutants) grow faster than the parent strain on media containing 5% (wt/vol) citrate. The mutants tolerated a higher intracellular citrate concentration than the parent strain. One mutant (cic-7/3) contained phosphofructokinase activity significantly less sensitive towards citrate than the enzyme from the parent strain. When this mutant was grown under citrate-accumulating conditions, acidogenesis was far less sensitive to inhibition by Mn2+ than in the parent strain. Some of the cic mutants also showed altered citrate inhibition of NADP-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase. 相似文献

This study examined the organization of the Krebs tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle by metabolic engineering and high-resolution 13C NMR. The oxidation of [1,2,3-13C]propionate to glutamate via the TCA cycle was measured in wild-type (WT) and a citrate synthase mutant (CS?) strain of Escherichia coli transformed with allosteric E. coli citrate synthase (ECCS) or non-allosteric pig citrate synthase (PCS). The 13C fractional enrichment in glutamate C-2, C-3, and C-4 in ECCS and PCS were similar; although quantitative differences in total citrate synthase activity and total C-4 labeling of glutamate were observed in ECCS and PCS. Allosteric ECCS cells contained 10-fold less total enzyme activity than PCS but only 50% less total labeling in glutamate C-4 and equivalent doubling times. The observed spectra were mathematically fitted using an iterative procedure(TCACALC) and yielded an acetate/succinyl-CoA flux ratio of 10 for both ECCS and PCS, a result that is in agreement with the isotopomer analyses of the 13C spectra of cells presented with [3-13C] propionate or [2-13C]propionate. The results are consistent with the presence of an allosteric citrate synthase in ECCS and a non-allosteric citrate synthase in PCS. The former maintains TCA cycle flux via alternative propionate pathways activated by positive allosteric mechanisms and the latter via elevated enzyme levels. 相似文献

Nodulating ability of Rhizobium tropici is conditioned by a plasmid-encoded citrate synthase 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Rhizobium species elicit the formation of nitrogen-fixing root nodules through a complex interaction between bacteria and plants. Various bacterial genes involved in the nodulation and nitrogen-fixation processes have been described and most have been localized on the symbiotic plasmids (pSym). We have found a gene encoding citrate synthase on the pSym plasmid of Rhizobium tropici, a species that forms nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots of beans (PhasBoius vuigaris) and trees (Leucaena spp.). Citrate synthase is a key metabolic enzyme that incorporates carbon into the tricarboxylic acid cycle by catalysing the condensation of acetyl-CoA and oxalo-acetic acid to form citrate. R. tropici pcsA (the plasmid citrate synthase gene) is closely related to the corresponding genes of Proteobacteria. pcsA inactivation by a Tn5-mob insertion causes the bacteria to form fewer nodules (30–50% of the original strain) and to have a decreased citrate synthase activity in minimal medium with sucrose. A clone carrying the pcsA gene complemented ail the phenotypic alterations of the pcsA mutant, and conferred Rhizobium iegumino-sarum bv. phaseoli (which naturally lacks a plasmid citrate synthase gene) a higher nodulation and growth capacity in correlation with a higher citrate synthase activity. We have also found that pcsA gene expression is sensitive to iron availability, suggesting a possible role of pcsA in iron uptake. 相似文献

The effect of the plant growth stimulant bactozole on the growth of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae 250a and its nitrogen-tolerant mutant M-71 and the synthesis of extracellular carbohydrates was studied. At a low content of nitrate (6 mM) in the medium, all three bactozole concentrations tested (0.001, 0.01, and 0.1%) exerted similar stimulating effects on the growth of the parent strain 250a (about 1.5-fold) and the synthesis of extracellular carbohydrates (about 2-fold). At a high content of nitrate (20 mM) in the medium, when the growth of the parent strain and the synthesis of extracellular carbohydrates were inhibited, bactozole at all three concentrations exerted only a growth-stimulating effect. At the same time, mutant M-71 showed better growth at higher concentrations of bactozole, whereas the ability of the mutant to synthesize extracellular carbohydrates decreased with increasing bactozole concentration. The cell biomass of the mutant accumulated at 20 mM nitrate was 1.8–2.5 times greater than it was at 6 mM nitrate. Bactozole enhanced the symbiosis of legume plants with both parent and mutant strains, raising the mass of plants and enhancing nodulation and the nitrogen-fixing activity of root nodules. The symbiotic parameters of mutant M-71 were better (irrespective of whether bactozole was present or not) when its inoculum was grown at a high nitrogen content (20 mM nitrate), whereas the respective parameters of the parent strain were better when it was grown at 6 mM nitrate. The inference is made that the better physiological characteristics of the mutant in the high-nitrate medium are due to its higher nitrate reductase activity (as compared with the parent strain) in both the free-living state and in legume nodules. 相似文献

Summary Comparison of the parental strain of the Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides (19D) and its citrate-negative mutant, which has lost a 22-kb plasmid, has confirmed the energetic role of citrate. Fermentation balance analysis showed that citrate led to a change in heterolactic fermentation from glucose. High levels of enzyme activity in both mutant and parental strains were found for NADH oxidase, lactate dehydrogenase, acetate kinase, alcohol dehydrogenase, diacetyl reductase and acetoin reductase, although NADH oxidase, alcohol dehydrogenase, diacetyl reductase and acetoin reductase were partly repressed by citrate. All these enzymes studied were not plasmid linked. In the parental strain, citrate lyase was induced by citrate. No citrate lyase activity was found in the citrate-negative mutant grown in presence of citrate, but this does not provide evidence that citrate lyase is linked to the 22-kb plasmid.

A pyruvate kinase-lacking mutant of Brevibacterium flavum produced 22.6 g/liter of l-aspartic acid with glutamic acid as a by-product, when cultured for 48 hr in a medium containing 100 g/liter of glucose. The production clearly depended on the amount of biotin added. This strain, 70, was derived by several steps of mutation from wild strain 2247 producing glutamate, successively via a citrate synthase-defective glutamate auxotroph, strain 214, a prototrophic revertant, strain 15-8, producing 10 g/liter of l-aspartic acid, and an S-(2-aminoethyl)-l-cysteine-resistant mutant, strain 1-231, having low pyruvate kinase and homoserine dehydrogenase and producing lysine. Strain 70, a methionine-insensitive revertant from strain 1-231, had a normal level of homoserine dehydrogenase but no pyruvate kinase. Its citrate synthase activity was about half that of the wild strain at saturated concentrations of the substrates with Michaelis constants for oxalacetate and acetyl-CoA of 110 and 6 times as high as those of the wild-type enzyme, respectively. The mutational step for these alterations in citrate synthase was strain 15-8. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase of strain 70 showed 1.5-fold higher activity in the crude extract at saturated concentrations of phosphoenolpyruvate, a lower Michaelis constant (1.5mM).for the substrate, phosphoenolpyruvate, less sensitivity to the feedback inhibition by aspartate, and higher sensitivities to the activators, acetyl-CoA and fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, than those of the wild strain. The concentrations of aspartate giving 50% inhibition were 6.2- and 4.5-fold higher in the absence and presence of acetyl-CoA, respectively. 相似文献

The effect of citrate on the growth of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis var. diacetylactis in milk has been investigated. Five strains of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis var. diacetylactis were compared to their citrate-negative variants, which lack the plasmid coding for citrate permease. In most cases, acidification
kinetics and the final bacterial concentration of pure cultures of parental and variant strains did not differ significantly.
Co-cultures of parental and variant strains, however, systematically tended towards the predominance of parental strains.
Citrate metabolism is responsible for this change, since the predominance of citrate-positive strains was not observed in
the absence of citrate. Continuous culture in milk enabled the difference in growth rates between the parental strain Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis var. diacetylactis CDI1 and its citrate-negative variant to be quantified by following changes in the populations of the two co-cultured strains.
At 26 °C, the growth rate of the parental strain was 7% higher than that of its citrate-negative variant. These results show
that citrate metabolism slightly stimulates the growth of lactococci in milk.

An Hg2+-sensitive mutant strain was isolated from an Hg2+-tolerant bacterium Pseudomonas oleovorans G-1 strain by mutagenesis with N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. The Hg2+-sensitive mutant strain was about 10-times as sensitive to Hg2+ as the parent strain. Moreover, the mutant strain was considerably more sensitive to Cr6+ than the parent strain, but it did not show an appreciable change in sensitivity to Cd2+ and Cu2+. The mutant strain was considerably more sensitive to antibiotics achromycin, chloramphenicol and streptomycin than the parent strain. A more rigid structure was observed in the cell envelope of the mutant strain than the parent strain under transmission electron microscope. Higher amounts of DNA but less protein and RNA were found in the mutant strain compared to the parent strain. Disc electrophoretic patterns showed some differences in protein bands between the parent and mutant strain. 相似文献

Recombinant vector pJLECit (8,232 bp) was constructed using citrate permease gene contained in the 3,919-bp fragment of plasmid
pCM1 (8,280 bp) isolated from Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis NIAI N-7, repA and ori from pLU1, and pMB1 ori and the erythromycin resistance gene from pJIR418. Lactobacillus casei L-49-4 (plasmid-free mutant of strain L-49) harboring the constructed pJLECit converted citrate into diacetyl/acetoin. Citrate
uptake rate of resting cells was the highest at pH 5.5 and 10 mM citrate concentration. Diacetyl formation activity by the
cell-free extracts of Lb. casei L-49-4 (pJLECit) grown in de Man–Rogosa–Sharpe (MRS) broth was higher than that of cells grown in MRS broth without citrate.
On the other hand, diacetyl reductase activity of cells grown in MRS broth was lower than that of cells grown in MRS broth
without citrate. 相似文献

The major adhesin of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, the causative agent of porcine pleuropneumonia, has been previously identified as lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The purpose
of the present study was to isolate and characterize A. pleuropneumoniae LPS mutants. Screening of LPS mutants was performed with colony dot and sensitivity to novobiocin. One mutant obtained by
colony dot (F19) and one mutant selected for its increased sensitivity to novobiocin (33.1) did not react with a monoclonal
antibody against A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 O-antigen compared with the parent strain. Mutants F19 and 33.1 did not express high-molecular-mass LPS bands
as determined in silver-stained SDS-PAGE gels. The core-lipid A region of mutant 33.1 and of the parent strain had similar
relative mobilities and reacted with serum from a pig experimentally infected with the serotype 1 reference strain of A. pleuropneumoniae, while the same region in mutant F19 showed faster migration and did not react with this serum. Use of piglet tracheal frozen
sections indicated that mutant F19 was able to adhere to piglet trachea as well as the parent strain, while mutant 33.1 adhered
[half as much as] the parent strain. Finally, both LPS mutants were markedly less virulent in mice than the parent strain.
Taken together, our observations support the idea that LPS is an important virulence factor of A. pleuropneumoniae.

The outer membrane protein profiles of a toluene-tolerant mutant, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, strain PAK103, were compared with those of its parent strain PAO1161. Protein F (OprF), the most abundant outer membrane protein in the parental strain PAO1161, was missing in the toluene-tolerant strain PAK103. The absence of OprF may lead to the loss of toluene diffusion across in the outer membrane of the mutant cells 相似文献

A mutant strain of the bacterium Pseudomonas sp. ATCC 31461 that exhibited elevated production of the polysaccharide gellan on glucose or corn syrup as a carbon source
was isolated. Gellan production by the mutant strain was about twofold higher than its parent strain on glucose or corn syrup
after 48 h of growth, and about 1.4-fold higher after 72 h. An increase in biomass production was not correlated with enhanced
gellan synthesis by the mutant strain. The increased gellan production by the mutant strain on either carbon source resulted
in an increase in its culture medium viscosity and the viscosity of the isolated polysaccharide produced by glucose-grown
cells. No differences in the glucuronic acid content of the polysaccharides produced by the mutant and parent strains were
observed. Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology (2002) 29, 185–188 doi:10.1038/sj.jim.7000278

In order to elucidate the biochemical mechanism of the alkaline protease accumulation from n-paraffins by a kabicidin-resistant mutant of Fusarium sp., the cell constituents and the extracellular products of the mutant strain were compared with those of the parent strain. No prominent differences in the cell constituents were observed between the parent and the mutant. From the analysis of the extracellular products, however the mutant was found to have a high productivity of some hydrolytic enzymes, such as amylase and ribonuclease, and ergosterol which is a structural constituent of fungal cell membrane. The relationship of secretion of ergosterol, resistance to kabicidin and accumulation of alkaline protease is discussed. 相似文献

The inhibitory effect of alcohol and substrates on the fermentation rate of one strain of Candida pseudotropicalis and of a respiratory-deficient mutant of this strain is investigated. For the parent strain maximum fermentative activity is identical in the presence of glucose or lactose. For a respiratory-deficient mutant, the fermentation rate is always higher than that of the parent strain. The inhibitory effect of alcohol and substrate is always less with the respiratory-deficient mutant than with the parent strain. 相似文献

Summary Ultraviolet mutation of Bacillus subtilis ATCC 21332 yielded a stable mutant that produced over three times more of the biosurfactant, surfactin, than the parent strain. By protoplast fusing the mutant (Suf-1) with the marker strain, B. subtilis BGSC strain IA28, the mutation was located between argC4 and hisA1 on the genetic map.NRCC 30549 相似文献
