从代谢流量分析角度探讨培养条件改变下对放射型根瘤菌WSH2601合成辅酶Q10的影响

分析了放射型根瘤菌(R. radiobacter) WSH2601生物合成辅酶Q10的代谢途径网络,并在溶氧条件改变和培养基中添加玉米浆条件下对辅酶Q10发酵细胞内代谢途径流量变化作定量的分析,结果表明：提高溶氧浓度（20%）5_磷酸核酮糖（Ru5P）物流（r7）增加26.6,即糖酵解途径（EMP）途径向磷酸戊糖途径（HMP）转移;添加1%玉米浆r7增加17.2,EMP与HMP途径物流比值与三羧酸循环（TCA）途径物流都下降,而癸异戊烯基焦磷酸（DPP）生成物流通量（绝对值）变化都较小,即辅酶Q10的生物合成更大程度地取决于辅酶Q10生物合成途径中催化DPP的合成和4_羟基苯甲酸（PHB）与DPP的缩合反应的两种关键酶活性。6_磷酸葡萄糖（G6P）节点是辅酶Q10生物合成代谢途径的柔性节点,而丙酮酸节点是半柔性节点。细胞生物量的提高与HMP途径物流增加有关。

产辅酶Q10酵母的发酵条件研究

研究了豆油、豆粉、胡萝卜汁、西红柿汁、烟叶、β-胡萝卜素、桔子皮汁等自然物的添加对酵母发酵生产CoQ10的影响,结果表明它们均能大幅度提高酵母菌中CoQ10的含量。其中豆油、豆粉、西红柿汁、桔子皮汁是富含CoQ10。和胡萝卜素合成途经中的前体物质因而提高了CoQ10的产量;烟叶和β-胡萝卜素阻断了合成β-胡萝卜素的途经从而起到提高CoQ10合成的作用;胡萝卜汁的作用可能两兼而有之。因此可以得出以下结论,微生物中Co10的合成与β-胡萝卜素的合成密切相关。

Effect of culture conditions on producing and uptake hydrogen flux of biohydrogen fermentation by metabolic flux analysis method

In this work, metabolic flux analysis (MFA) method was used to estimate the effects of the culture conditions on both the producing and uptake hydrogen flux inside the cell of Klebsiella pneumoniae ECU-15. The results indicated that higher temperature could reduce the amount of the uptake hydrogen and enhance the hydrogen production from the NADH pathway. Moreover, both the producing hydrogen flux from formate and the uptake hydrogen flux were attained to the maximum at pH 7.0-7.5. The producing hydrogen flux was higher at 5 g/L initial glucose than that of the other concentrations, and the uptake hydrogen flux showed the minimum value under the same condition. The apparent hydrogen generation was caused by the combined action of producing hydrogenase, uptake hydrogenase and bidirectional hydrogenase. These results were helpful to deeply understand the mechanism of the biohydrogen evolving process and establish the suitable molecular strategies for improving hydrogen production.     

Genetically constrained metabolic flux analysis

Significant progress has been made in using existing metabolic databases to estimate metabolic fluxes. Traditional metabolic flux analysis generally starts with a predetermined metabolic network. This approach has been employed successfully to analyze the behaviors of recombinant strains by manually adding or removing the corresponding pathway(s) in the metabolic map. The current work focuses on the development of a new framework that utilizes genomic and metabolic databases, including available genetic/regulatory network structures and gene chip expression data, to constrain metabolic flux analysis. The genetic network consisting of the sensing/regulatory circuits will activate or deactivate a specific set of genes in response to external stimulus. The activation and/or repression of this set of genes will result in different gene expression levels that will in turn change the structure of the metabolic map. Hence, the metabolic map will automatically "adapt" to the external stimulus as captured by the genetic network. This adaptation selects a subnetwork from the pool of feasible reactions and so performs what we term "environmentally driven dimensional reduction." The Escherichia coli oxygen and redox sensing/regulatory system, which controls the metabolic patterns connected to glycolysis and the TCA cycle, was used as a model system to illustrate the proposed approach.

Metabolic flux network and analysis of fermentative hydrogen production

Fermentative hydrogen production (FHP) has received a great R & D interest in recent decades, as it offers a potential means of producing H₂ from a variety of renewable resources, even wastewater via a low energy continuous process. Various extracellular metabolites including ethanol, acetate, butyrate and lactate can be produced during the fermentation, building a complex metabolic network of the FHP. Except for the recognition of its complexity, the metabolic flux network has not been well understood. Studies on biochemical reactions and metabolic flux network associated with the FHP in anaerobic fermentation system have only been drawn attention in recent years. This review summarizes the biochemical reactions taking place in the metabolic network of FHP. We discuss how the key operation factors influence metabolism in the FHP process. Recently developed and applied technologies for metabolic flux analysis have been described. Future studies on the metabolic network to enhance fermentative hydrogen production by strict anaerobes are recommended. It is expected that this review can provide useful information in terms of fundamental knowledge and update technology for scientists and research engineers in the field of biological hydrogen production.     

Effects of dissolved oxygen concentration and DO-stat feeding strategy on CoQ10 production with Rhizobium radiobacter

The cell growth and CoQ₁₀ (coenzyme Q₁₀) formation of Rhizobium radiobacter WSH2601 were investigated in a 7-1 bioreactor under different dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations. A maximal CoQ₁₀ content (C/B) of 1.91 mg/g dry cell weight (DCW) and CoQ₁₀ concentration of 32.1 mg/l were obtained at the appropriate DO concentration of 40% (of air saturation). High DO concentration was favourable to the cell growth of Rhizobium radiobacter WSH2601. In order to achieve the maximal yield of CoQ₁₀ production, a new DO-stat feeding strategy was proposed, which significantly improved cell growth and CoQ₁₀ formation. With this strategy, the maximal CoQ₁₀ concentration and DCW reached 51.1 mg/l and 23.9 g/l, respectively, which were 67 and 44.8% higher than those obtained in the batch culture with DO concentration controlled.     

Lactate increases coenzyme Q10 production by Agrobacterium tumefaciens

By the optimization of nitrogen source for coenzyme Q₁₀ (ubiquinone, CoQ₁₀) production in Agrobacterium tumefaciens KCCM 10413 culture, the highest CoQ₁₀ production was achieved in medium containing corn steep powder (CSP). Components for a stimulatory effect on the production of CoQ₁₀ in CSP were screened, and lactate was found to increase dry cell weight (DCW) and the specific CoQ₁₀ content. In a fed-batch culture of A. tumefaciens, supplementation with 1.5 g of lactate l⁻¹ further improved DCW, the specific CoQ₁₀ content, and CoQ₁₀ production by 16.0, 5.8, and 22.8%, respectively. It has been reported that lactate stimulates cell growth and acts as an accelerator driving the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle (Roberto et al. 2002, Biotechnol Let 24:427–431; Matsuoka et al. 1996, Biosci Biotechnol Biochem 60:575–579). In this study, lactate supplementation increased DCW and the specific CoQ₁₀ content in A. tumefaciens culture, probably by accelerating TCA cycle and energy production as reported previously, leading to the increase of CoQ₁₀ production.     

On-line optimization of glutamate production based on balanced metabolic control by RQ

In glutamate fermentations by Corynebacterium glutamicum, higher glutamate concentration could be achieved by constantly controlling dissolved oxygen concentration (DO) at a lower level; however, by-product lactate also severely accumulated. The results of analyzing activities changes of the two key enzymes, glutamate and lactate dehydrogenases involved with the fermentation, and the entire metabolic network flux analysis showed that the lactate overproduction was because the metabolic flux in TCA cycle was too low to balance the glucose glycolysis rate. As a result, the respiratory quotient (RQ) adaptive control based “balanced metabolic control” (BMC) strategy was proposed and used to regulate the TCA metabolic flux rate at an appropriate level to achieve the metabolic balance among glycolysis, glutamate synthesis, and TCA metabolic flux. Compared with the best results of various DO constant controls, the BMC strategy increased the maximal glutamate concentration by about 15% and almost completely repressed the lactate accumulation with competitively high glutamate productivity.     

Effects of benfotiamine and coenzyme Q10 on kidney damage induced gentamicin

Objective

Association of colony morphology with coenzyme Q(10) production and its enhancement from Rhizobium radiobacter T6102W by addition of isopentenyl alcohol as a precursor

Rhizobium radiobacter T6102 was morphologically purified by the aniline blue agar plates to give two distinct colonies; white smooth mucoid colony (T6102W) and blue rough colony (T6102B). The coenzyme Q(10) (CoQ(10)) was produced just by T6102W, showing 2.0 mg/g of CoQ(10) content, whereas the T6102B did not produce the CoQ(10). All of the used CoQ(10) biosynthetic precursors enhanced the CoQ(10) production by T6102W. Specifically, the supplementation of 0.75 mM isopentenyl alcohol improved the CoQ(10) concentration (19.9 mg/l) and content (2.4 mg/g) by 42% and 40%, respectively.
