Microencapsulation offers a unique potential for high cell density, high productivity mammalian cell cultures. However, for successful exploitation there is the need for microcapsules of defined size, properties and mechanical stability. Four types of alginate/poly-l-Lysine microcapsules, containing recombinant CHO cells, have been investigated: (a) 800 μm liquid core microcapsules, (b) 500 μm liquid core microcapsules, (c) 880 μm liquid core microcapsules with a double PLL membrane and (d) 740 μm semi-liquid core microcapsules. With encapsulated cells a reduced growth rate was observed, however this was accompanied by a 2–3 fold higher specific production rate of the recombinant protein. Interestingly, the maximal intracapsular cell concentration was only 8.7 × 107 cell mL-1, corresponding to a colonization of 20% of the microcapsule volume. The low level of colonization is unlikely to be due to diffusional limitations since reduction of microcapsule size had no effect. Measurement of cell leaching and mechanical properties showed that liquid core microcapsules are not suitable for continuous long-term cultures (>1 month). By contrast semi-liquid core microcapsules were stable over long periods with a constant level of cell colonization (ϕ = 3%). This indicates that the alginate in the core plays a predominant role in determining the level of microcapsule colonization. This was confirmed by experiments showing reduced growth rates of batch suspension cultures of CHO cells in medium containing dissolved alginate. Removal of this alginate would therefore be expected to increase microcapsule colonization.  相似文献

A high-density-cell fermentation process for production of an exracellular alginat lyase from Klebseilla pneumoniae on a defined medium has been developed. The process employs a strategy using two carbon sources. One low-molecular-mass, low-viscosity carbon source (sucrose) with high water solubililty is used as the main carbons source for growth, while the high-molecular-mass and viscoous alginate in low concentration is used as an inducer for enzyme synthesis. The repression of algiante lyase production by sucrose and the growth inhibition that we observed at increased levels of ammonia were circumvented by a computer-assisted fed-batch addition of the carbon sources (succrose and alginate) and by supplying nitrogen source as ammonia in the pH control. No enzyme production was observed when dissolved oxygen limited growth at an oxygen uptake rate of 40%–50% of the maximum uptake rate. An optimal composition of the feeding solution (12.5 g alginate and 587.5 g sucrose 1–1) was found both for the maximum final concentration of enzyme (1330 U 1–1) and for the maximum volumetric rate of enzyme production (67 U 1–1 h–1). The enzyme production dependes of the growth rate in the linear growth phase, giving a maximum enzyme concentration at the highest growth rate tested. The final enzyme concentration shows a fiveflod increase compare with previously reproted daata where alginate was used as a carbon source. In addition, the ratio of alginate lyase by a factor of apporximately 15. A doubling in extracellular specific activity of the enzyme was observed, a property of significant interest, especially for purification of the enzyme. On the othr hand, the final dry cell weight concentration of the bacteria also increased by a factor of 15–20 thus giving a relatively lower specific productivity of 0.4 U (g cell dry weight)–1 h–1.  相似文献

Lactococcus lactis release from calcium alginate beads.   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Cell release during milk fermentation by Lactococcus lactis immobilized in calcium alginate beads was examined. Numbers of free cells in the milk gradually increased from 1 x 10(6) to 3 x 10(7) CFU/ml upon successive reutilization of the beads. Rinsing the beads between fermentations did not influence the numbers of free cells in the milk. Cell release was not affected by initial cell density within the beads or by alginate concentration, although higher acidification rates were achieved with increased cell loading. Coating alginate beads with poly-L-lysine (PLL) did not significantly reduce the release of cells during five consecutive fermentations. A double coating of PLL and alginate reduced cell release by a factor of approximately 50. However, acidification of milk with beads having the PLL-alginate coating was slower than that with uncoated beads. Immersing the beads in ethanol to kill cells on the periphery reduced cell release, but acidification activity was maintained. Dipping the beads in aluminum nitrate or a hot CaCl2 solution was not as effective as dipping them in ethanol. Ethanol treatment or heating of the beads appears to be a promising method for maintaining acidification activity while minimizing viable cell release due to loosely entrapped cells near the surface of the alginate beads.  相似文献

A purified preparation of the extracellular alginate lyase has been used to study kinetics and specificity towards purified, homopolymeric fragments of alginate. The enzyme preparation from Bacillus circulans 1351 degraded both block types, although with different efficiency, and thus appears to be nonspecific. Addition of calcium ions markedly enhanced the reaction rate for the polymannuronate block but had little or no effect on the reaction with polyguluronate. Michaelis-Menten kinetics are not obeyed in the absence of calcium ions and only for the polymannuronate in the presence of calciumThe study of progress curves in response to variation in substrate and enzyme concentrations strongly suggests that the abalone lyase is subject to a reversible product inhibition.  相似文献

Screening of microorganisms capable of producing alginate lyase enzyme is commonly carried out by investigating their abilities to grow on alginate-containing solid media plates and occurrence of a clearance zone after flooding the plates with agents such as 10% (w/v) cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC), which can form complexes with alginate. Although the CPC method is good, advantageous, and routinely used, the agar in the media interferes with the action of CPC, which makes judgment about clearance zones very difficult. In addition, this method takes a minimum of 30 min to obtain the zone of hydrolysis after flooding and the hydrolyzed area is not sharply discernible. An improved plate assay is reported herein for the detection of extracellular alginate lyase production by microorganisms. In this method, alginate-containing agar plates are flooded with Gram's iodine instead of CPC. Gram's iodine forms a bluish black complex with alginate but not with hydrolyzed alginate, giving sharp, distinct zones around the alginate lyase producing microbial colonies within 2–3 min. Gram's iodine method was found to be more effective than the CPC method in terms of visualization and measurement of zone size. The alginate-lyase-activity area indicated using the Gram's iodine method was found to be larger than that indicated by the CPC method. Both methods (CPC and Gram's iodine) showed the largest alginate lyase activity area for Saccharophagus degradans (ATCC 43961) followed by Microbulbifer mangrovi (KCTC 23483), Bacillus cereus (KF801505) and Paracoccus sp. LL1 (KP288668) grown on minimal sea salt medium. The rate of growth and metabolite production in alginate-containing minimal sea salt liquid medium, followed trends similar to that of the zone activity areas for the four bacteria under study. These results suggested that the assay developed in this study of Gram's iodine could be useful to predict the potential of microorganisms to produce alginate lyase. The method also worked well for screening and identification of alginate lyase producers and non-producers from environmental samples on common laboratory media. They did this by clearly showing the presence or absence of clearance zones around the microbial colonies grown. This new method is rapid, efficient, and could easily be performed for screening a large number of microbial cultures. This is the first report on the use of Gram's iodine for the detection of alginate lyase production by microorganisms using plate assay.  相似文献

Role of alginate lyase in cell detachment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.   总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15       下载免费PDF全文
The exopolysaccharide alginate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was shown to be important in determining the degree of cell detachment from an agar surface. Nonmucoid strain 8822 gave rise to 50-fold more sloughed cells than mucoid strains 8821 and 8830. Alginate anchors the bacteria to the agar surface, thereby influencing the extent of detachment. The role of the P. aeruginosa alginate lyase in the process of cell sloughing was investigated. Increased expression of the alginate lyase in mucoid strain 8830 led to alginate degradation and increased cell detachment. Similar effects were seen both when the alginate lyase was induced at the initial stage of cell inoculation and when it was induced at a later stage of growth. It appears that high-molecular-weight alginate polymers are required to efficiently retain the bacteria within the growth film. When expressed from a regulated promoter, the alginate lyase can induce enhanced sloughing of cells because of degradation of the alginate. This suggests a possible role for the lyase in the development of bacterial growth films.  相似文献

Production of a thick exopolysaccharide coat (alginate) by mucoid strains ofPseudomonas aeruginosa has been shown to contribute to the pathogenicity and persistence of these bacteria in the lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis. Previous studies have shown that some mucoidP. aeruginosa strains produce an enzyme(s) capable of degrading this alginate coat. In this study, an alginate lyase from mucoidP. aeruginosa strain WcM#2 was isolated and characterized. Lyase production was enhanced by the addition of 0.2–0.3m NaCl to the growth media. The lyase was eluted from an alginate-Sepharose affinity column with 0.5m NaCl, which can serve as a simple one-step purification protocol for obtaining semi-pure functional alginate lyase. Fractionation of the enzyme preparation on a Sephadex G-75 sizing column showed that the enzyme has an apparent molecular weight of 40,000, whereas sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) suggested a molecular weight of approximately 43,000. The affinity-purified enzyme had a pH optimum of 9.0, its activity was enhanced in the presence of 0.3m NaCl, and it showed substrate specificity for polymannuronic acid blocks. These results demonstrate the presence of a mannuronan-specific alginate lyase inP. aeruginosa that differs in several respects from previous reports ofP. aeruginosa alginate lyases.  相似文献

An alginate lyase with high specific enzyme activity was purified from Vibrio sp. YKW-34, which was newly isolated from turban shell gut. The alginate lyase was purified by in order of ion exchange, hydrophobic and gel filtration chromatographies to homogeneity with a recovery of 7% and a fold of 25. This alginate lyase was composed of a single polypeptide chain with molecular mass of 60 kDa and isoelectric point of 5.5–5.7. The optimal pH and temperature for alginate lyase activity were pH 7.0 and 40 °C, respectively. The alginate lyase was stable over pH 7.0–10.0 and at temperature below 50 °C. The alginate lyase had substrate specificity for both poly-guluronate and poly-mannuronate units. The kcat/Km value for alginate (heterotype) was 1.7 × 106 s−1 M−1. The enzyme activity was completely lost by dialysis and restored by addition of Na+ or K+. The optimal activity exhibited in 0.1 M of Na+ or K+. This enzyme was resistant to denaturing reagents (SDS and urea), reducing reagents (β-mercaptoethanol and DTT) and chelating reagents (EGTA and EDTA).  相似文献

The bacterium Klebsiella aerogenes (type 25) produced an inducible alginate lyase, whose major activity was located intracellularly during all growth phases. The enzyme was purified from the soluble fraction of sonicated cells by ammonium sulfate precipitation, anion- and cation-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The apparent molecular weight of purified alginate lyase of 28,000 determined by gel filtration and of 31,600 determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that the active enzyme was composed of a single polypeptide. The alginate lyase displayed a pH optimum around 7.0 and a temperature optimum around 37°C. The purified enzyme depolymerized alginate by a lyase reaction in an endo manner releasing products which reacted in the thiobarbituric acid assay and absorbed strongly in the ultraviolet region at 235 nm. The alginate lyase was specific for guluronic acidrich alginate preparations. Propylene glycol esters of alginate and O-acetylated bacterial alginates were poorly degraded by the lyase compared with unmodified polysaccharide. The guluronate-specific lyase activity was applied in an enzymatic method to detect mannuronan C-5 epimerase in three different mucoid (alginate-synthesizing) strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This enzyme which converts polymannuronate to alginate could not be demonstrated either extracellularly or intracellularly in all strains suggesting the absence of a polymannuronate-modifying enzyme in P. aeruginosa.Abbreviations poly(ManA) (1–4)--D-mannuronan - poly(GulA) (1–4)--L-guluronan - TBA 2-thiobarbituric acid  相似文献

An unidentified pseudomonad isolated by enrichment procedures from decomposing seaweed was grown in defined medium containing sodium alginate as the sole carbon source. The alginate lyase recovered from disrupted bacterial cells was purified by a procedure of (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. From sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel-electrophoresis experiments a mol.wt. of about 50 000 was determined. The enzyme was active against both algal and bacterial alginate preparations. Kinetic studies together with analysis of the unsaturated oligouronide products of alginate lyase action indicated the enzyme was specific for guluronic acid-containing regions of the macromolecular substrate. The specificity of the enzyme can be used to give information about the primary composition of alginate samples.  相似文献

Pseudomonas syringae pathovar phaseolicola, which produces alginate during stationary growth phase, displayed elevated extracellular alginate lyase activity during both mid-exponential and late-stationary growth phases of batch growth. Intracellular activity remained below 22% of the total activity during exponential growth, suggesting that alginate lyase has an extracellular function for this organism. Extracellular enzyme activity in continuous cultures, grown in either nutrient broth or glucose–simple salts medium, peaked at 60% of the washout rate, although nutrient broth-grown cultures displayed more than twice the activity per gram of cell mass. These results imply that growth rate, nutritional composition, or both initiate a release of alginate lyase from viable P. syringae pv. phaseolicola, which could modify its entrapping biofilm.

The molecular weight of polymeric alginic acid digested by alginate lyase (poly(1,4-beta-D-mannuronide) lyase, EC 4.2.2.3) was determined at various stages of the lysis. Low molecular weigh fragments were detected only after 60-100% lysis. Some high molecular weight fragments remained intact even after addition of a fresh aliquot of enzyme to the digest. The enzyme showed maximal activity at pH 5.6 in 0.05 M salt. Enzyme activity was stimulated by addition of 7.5 mM CaCl2 and 0.2 M NaCl, when the pH optimum was between 8 and 8.5. Only mannuronic acid was detected at the reducing end of fragments after exhausive enzymolysis, reduction and hydrolysis. On studying the reaction products by NMR, a double-bound signal (sigma = 5.98 ppm) was observed. A considerable decrease in intensity of the D-mannuronic acid residue signal was detected after hydrolysis of alginate lyase VI on poly-(ManUA-GulUA), but not poly(GulUA). The results suggest that alginate lyase VI may be an endoalginate lyase that splits glycoside bonds only between two mannuronic acid residues.  相似文献

Depolymerization of sodium alginate (average molecular weight: 25,700) from an edible seaweed Eisenia bicyclis with bacterial alginate lyase yielded oligosaccharide(s) with an average molecular weight of 1,800 together with other components. The proliferation and/or differentiation of plants was markedly enhanced in the presence of the oligosaccharide(s), although that of mammalian (HeLa) cells and an algae (Chlamidomonas sp.) was not. The results indicate that the depolymerization products of alginate containing oligosaccharine-like compounds specifically affect the proliferation and/or differentiation of higher plants.  相似文献

Sphingomonas sp. A1 (strain A1) cells contain three kinds of endotype alginate lyases [A1-I, A1-II, and A1-III], all of which are formed from a common precursor through posttranslational processing. In addition to these lyases, another type of lyase (A1-IV) that acts on oligoalginates exists in the bacterium. A1-IV was overexpressed in Escherichia coli cells through control of its gene under the T7 promoter. The expression level of the enzyme in E. coli cells was 8.6U/L-culture, which was about 270-fold higher than that in strain A1 cells. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity through three steps with an activity yield of 10.9%. The optimal pH and temperature, thermal stability, and mode of action of the purified enzyme were similar to those of the native enzyme from strain A1 cells. A1-IV exolytically degraded oligoalginates, which were produced from alginate through the reaction of A1-I, A1-II, or A1-III, into monosaccharides, indicating that the cooperative actions of these four enzymes cause the complete depolymerization of alginate in strain A1 cells.  相似文献

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are expected to be an ideal cell source for biomedical applications, but such applications usually require a large number of cells. Suspension culture of iPSC aggregates can offer high cell yields but sometimes results in excess aggregation or cell death by shear stress. Hydrogel‐based microencapsulation can solve such problems observed in Suspension culture, but there is no systematic evaluation of the possible capsule formulations. In addition, their biological effects on entrapped cells are still poorly studied so far. We, therefore, immobilized mouse iPSCs in three different types of calcium–alginate (Alg–Ca) hydrogel‐based microcapsules; (i) Alg–Ca capsules without further treatment (Naked), (ii) Alg–Ca capsules with poly‐l ‐lysine (PLL) coating (Coated), and (iii) Alg–PLL membrane capsules with liquid cores (Hollow). After 10 days of culture within the medium containing serum and leukemia inhibitory factor, we obtained good cellular expansions (10–13‐fold) in Coated and Hollow capsules that were similar to Suspension culture. However, 32 ± 9% of cellular leakage and lower cell yield (about threefold) were observed in Naked capsules. This was not observed in Coated and Hollow capsules. In addition, immunostaining and quantitative RT‐PCR showed that the formation of primitive endodermal layers was suppressed in Coated capsules contrary to all other formulations. This agenesis of primitive endoderm layers in Coated capsules is likely to be the main cause of the significantly better pluripotency maintenance in hydrogel‐based encapsulation culture. These results are helpful in further optimizing hydrogel‐based iPSC culture, which can maintain better local cellular environments and be compatible with mass culture. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

A new alginate lyase-producing micro-organism, designated as Bacillus sp. strain ATB-1015, was effectively isolated from soil samples pretreated for 3 months with a substrate of the enzyme, sodium alginate. Alginate lyase activity was assayed by the degrading activity of biofilm on Teflon sheet discs, which was formed by a mucoid strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAM3 selected from clinical isolates. The extracellular alginate lyase was precipitated with ammonium sulphate from the culture broth, and purified by gel filtration and anion exchange chromatography. The molecular weight of the lyase was estimated to be 41 kDa by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Sephacryl S-200 HR column chromatography. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme activity were around 7·5 and 37 °C, respectively, and the Km value was 0·17% with the substrate, sodium alginate. The lyase activity was completely inhibited by treatment with 1 mmol l−1 of EDTA and the decreased activity was almost completely recovered by the addition of 2 mmol l−1 of CaCl2. The activity was not affected by treatment with the protein denaturants, 0·01 mol l−1 of SDS or 1 mmol l−1 of urea. The lyase had substrate specificity for both the poly-guluronate and poly-mannuronate units in the alginate molecule.  相似文献

Structural and functional analyses of alginate lyases are important in the clarification of the biofilm-dependent ecosystem in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and in the development of therapeutic agents for bacterial disease. Most alginate lyases are classified into polysaccharide lyase (PL) family-5 and -7 based on their primary structures. Family PL-7 enzymes are still poorly characterized especially in structural properties. Among family PL-7, a gene coding for a hypothetical protein (PA1167) homologous to Sphingomonas alginate lyase A1-II was found to be present in the P. aeruginosa genome. PA1167 overexpressed in Escherichia coli cleaved glycosidic bonds in alginate and released unsaturated saccharides, indicating that PA1167 is an alginate lyase catalyzing a beta-elimination reaction. The enzyme acted preferably on heteropolymeric regions endolytically and worked most efficiently at pH 8.5 and 40 degrees C. The specific activity of PA1167, however, was much weaker than that of the known alginate lyase AlgL, suggesting that AlgL plays a main role in alginate depolymerization in P. aeruginosa. In addition to this specific activity, differences were found between PA1167 and AlgL in enzyme properties such as molecular mass, optimum pH, salt effect, and substrate specificity. The first crystal structure of the family PL-7 alginate lyase was determined at 2.0 A resolution. PA1167 was found to form a glove-like beta-sandwich composed of 15 beta-strands and 3 alpha-helices. The structural difference between the beta-sandwich PA1167 of family PL-7 and alpha/alpha-barrel AlgL of family PL-5 may be responsible for the enzyme characteristics. Crystal structures of polysaccharide lyases determined so far indicate that they can be assigned to three folding groups having parallel beta-helix, alpha/alpha-barrel, and alpha/alpha-barrel + antiparallel beta-sheet structures as basic frames. PA1167 is the fourth novel folding structure found among polysaccharide lyases.  相似文献

Bacteria having alginate lyase activity were screened by growing cells from various sources in a medium containing alginate as a carbon source. Among the various samples tested, the culture enriched with paddy-field bacteria showed the highest alginate lyase activity, and contained three kinds of bacteria. They were purified and identified to be Flavobacterium, Alcaligenes and Bacillus species. The alginate lyase activity in these strains was low when they were grown separately. The highest alginate lyase activity was obtained when these strains were cultured all together in the same medium.  相似文献
