Hen egg white lysozyme was immobilized by carbodiimide method to form amide bonds with a polymer (AS-L) showing reversibly soluble-insoluble characteristics with pH change. The immobilized enzyme (LY-AS) was soluble above pH 6 and precipitate below pH 4.5, offering advantages in that it can carry out hydrolysis of microbial cells in a soluble form yet be recovered after precipitation at low pH. The maximum specific activity of LY-AS was 66% of that of free lysozyme with M. lysodeikticus cells as substrate, which is much higher than the values reported in the literature using water-insoluble materials as carriers. The effects of pH and temperature on the activity of LY-AS were studied and compared with those of free lysozyme. With repeated pH cycles between 6.6 and 4.5, the operation half-life of immobilized enzyme activity was nine cycles. Repeated batch lysis of microbial cells could be carried out with intermittent enzyme precipitation and recovery steps. In such an operation the insoluble residual cells should be recovered together with the immobilized enzyme to minimize enzyme loss arising from adsorption to cells. 相似文献

AIMS: Evaluation of fermentation process parameter interactions for the production of l-asparaginase by isolated Staphylococcus sp. - 6A. METHODS AND RESULTS: Fractional factorial design of experimentation (L18 orthogonal array of Taguchi methodology) was adopted to optimize nutritional (carbon and nitrogen sources), physiological (incubation temperature, medium pH, aeration and agitation) and microbial (inoculum level) fermentation factors. The experimental results and software predicted enzyme production values were comparable. CONCLUSION: Incubation temperature, inoculum level and medium pH, among all fermentation factors, were major influential parameters at their individual level, and contributed to more than 60% of total l-asparaginase production. Interaction data of selected fermentation parameters could be classified as least and most significant at individual and interactive levels. Aeration and agitation were most significant at interactive level, but least significant at individual level, and showed maximum severity index and vice versa at enzyme production. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: All selected factors showed impact on l-asparaginase enzyme production by this isolated microbial strain either at the individual or interactive level. Incubation temperature, inoculum concentration, pH of the medium and nutritional source (glucose and ammonium chloride) had impact at individual level, while aeration, agitation and incubation time showed influence at interactive level. Significant improvement (ninefold increase) in enzyme production by this microbial isolate was noted under optimized environment. 相似文献

Scleral fibroblasts of the chick embryo were found to secrete autocrine growth factors. One of the factors was purified from conditioned medium collected from growing-phase cultures of these cells by DEAE-Sepharose column chromatography and following non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The specific activity was increased 1100-fold by this purification. The chromatographically purified growth factor was still active after incubation at 95 degrees C, at pH 10 or pH 3, or with glycosidase H, but inactive after incubation with dithiothreitol or trypsin. An active protein having a molecular weight of 32 kDa was found to be the major component of the final preparation. 相似文献

The effect of potassium sorbate on the structural integrity of Alteromonas putrefaciens 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Treatment of Alteromonas putrefaciens with potassium sorbate at pH 7.0 resulted in increased hydrophobicity of the cell wall and lysis on exposure to lysozyme. These effects could be overcome to some extent by the addition of magnesium ions to the incubation medium. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy provided evidence of outer membrane damage in sorbate-treated cells. Dissociated sorbate ion was shown to have an inhibitory effect on A. putrefaciens . 相似文献

The effect of lysozyme on the growth of several strains of mycobacteria was examined at pH 5.0-7.0 in Dubos medium containing various concentrations of lysozyme (100-2,000 microgram/ml). Mycobacterium smegmatis and M. phlei were susceptible to lysozyme at pH 5.0-7.0. The effect of lysozyme was marked between pH 6.0 and 7.0 and the colony counts were reduced to approximately 0.1-10% after incubation with 100 micrograms of lysozyme per ml for 48 hr. At pH 5.0, 10-40% of the organisms survived treatment with 1,000 micrograms of lysozyme per ml for 48 hr. M. bovis strain BCG, M. tuberculosis, and M. fortuitum appeared to be more resistant to lysozyme than M. smegmatis and M. phlei. M. smegmatis and M. phlei did not contain detectable amounts of poly-L-glutamic acid, although the susceptibility of the mycobacteria to lysozyme did not correlate with the amounts of the polymer in the cell walls. The role of lysozyme in animal infections with so-called saprophytic mycobacteria is discussed. 相似文献

Lysozyme was induced by dexamethasone during normal differentiation of cultured mouse myeloid leukemia cells (M1) to macrophages and granulocytes. A large amount of lysozyme was produced by macrophage-like line cells (Mm-1), established from spontaneously differentiated macrophage-like cells from a clonal line of M1 cells. Lysozyme purified from the culture medium of these Mm-1 cells (Mm-1 lysozyme) had a molecular weight of 15,000, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and showed maximal activity at pH 6.6 with an optimal NaCl concentration of 0.04 M. Its mobility on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 4.5 was distinctly lower than those of lysozymes from hen egg white and human urine. Rabbit anti-Mm-1 lysozyme serum inhibited the activities of lysozyme preparations from peritoneal macrophages of normal mice and rats and dexamethasone-induced differentiated M1 cells, but not those of preparations from hen egg white and human urine. Lysozyme was also purified from normal mouse lung, which is rich in alveolar macrophages and was found to be similar to lysozyme purified from the culture medium of Mm-1 cells in size and electrophoretic mobility and in its pH optimum, trypsin peptide map, and antigenicity. Thus the molecular structure of the lysozyme induced in differentiated mouse myeloid leukemia cells is similar to that of lysozyme produced by normal cells. 相似文献

The rate of native and deamidized serum albumin in vitro splitting by the brain, liver, kidney, testicle and spleen tissue proteinases was studied at pH 3.2, 4.8, 7.2 and 8.5. The deamidized preparation of serum albumin was obtained during its incubation under sterile conditions at 37 degrees C. The amount of amide groups in the process of protein incubation decreased by 19.4% mainly due to readily hydrolyzed asparagine groups. Desamidated serum albumin is splitted by tissue proteinases more intensively than native albumin. Intensity of the splitting depends on pH of the incubation medium and proteinase source. Specific proteolytic activity to desamidated serum albumin is shown to decrease in old rats as compared to young ones. 相似文献

Two strains of rumen anaerobes isolated from dehydrodivanillin-degrading cultures were identified as Fusobacterium varium and Enterococcus faecium. These organisms degraded dehydrodivanillin synergistically to 5-carboxymethylvanillin and vanillic acid. Specific conditions for protoplast formation and cell wall regeneration for both bacteria were determined, under strictly anaerobic conditions, to be as follows. The cell wall of each bacterium in yeast extract medium was loosened by adding penicillin G during early log-phase growth. The cell wall of F. varium was lysed by lysozyme (1 mg/ml) in glycerol (0.2 M)-phosphate buffer (0.05 M; pH 7.0). The addition of NaCl (0.08 M) with lysozyme was necessary for lysis of E. faecium in this solution. Almost all cells were converted to protoplasts after 2 h of incubation at 37 degrees C. Regeneration of both protoplasts was 20 to 30% on an agar-containing yeast extract medium. 相似文献

Staphylococcus aureus growth and enterotoxin production in co-culture with Lactococcus garvieae were studied in laboratory medium as a function of incubation temperature and pH values. Doehlert experimental design was
used to study the effect of L. garvieae concentration, temperature, and pH on S. aureus growth in laboratory medium. The mathematical model obtained was validated in cheeses. The inhibition of S. aureus growth by L. garvieae was more important during the first 6 hours of incubation, and its effect increased when its concentration increased. After
24 and 48 hours, the effect of L. garvieae decreased, and the growth of S. aureus was positively influenced by higher temperature and pH values. Staphylococcal enterotoxins were detected in only one experimental
set after 48 hours of incubation at 30°C at pH 6.8. Our results argue in favor of adding antagonist strain early in the cheese-making
process. 相似文献

A novel technique of applying a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor to the on-line real-time detection of microbial populations is described. The pQCM sensor was fabricated by depositing di-para-xylene (parylene) over the entire surface of a QCM sensor through a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. An electrically insulated film of parylene on the QCM sensor enabled the operation of the sensor in the liquid environment, and the resonance frequency of the pQCM sensor set in the medium of a cultivation flask shifted in response to the microbial population. The effects of pH, conductivity, and viscosity of the medium on the frequency shift of the pQCM sensor were investigated. Ignorable responses (less than 1% at 10(3)cells) were obtained during an incubation cycle. The detection limit of the pQCM sensor was identified as 10(2) cells ml(-1) with a frequency shift of around 2 x 10(3)Hz. The cell numbers of Escherichia coli cultivated in both the YEM medium and whole milk were detected. A satisfactory correlation (r(2)=0.95) was obtained between the cell number and the response of the pQCM sensor. Experimental results suggest that the pQCM described here is applicable to the continuous long-term detection of microbial populations during a fermentation process. 相似文献

Lysozyme promotes fusion of negatively charged phospholipid vesicles prepared by ethanolic injection. Vesicle fusion was a leaky process as revealed by the release of encapsulated carboxyfluorescein or Tb-DPA complex. Extensive proteolysis of lysozyme inhibited the fusion process. The fusion process was critically dependent on the medium ionic strength; 100 mM of any salt was sufficient to inhibit totally the fusion activity of the protein. The high efficiency of lysozyme (80% RET) was almost constant in the pH range from 4.0 to 9.0, but it was sharply diminished when the pH of the medium was at the isoelectric point of the protein (pI 11.0). Fusion induced by chemically modified lysozyme, showed that the pH profile changed according to the isoelectric point of the protein derivative. These observations stress the importance of electrostatic interactions in the process of fusion induced by lysozyme. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of bacteriophage 9NA lysozyme 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Bacteriophage 9NA is a virulent phage of Salmonella typhimurium which induces a lysozyme in host cells toward the later stages of its multiplication. 9NA lysozyme has been purified about 1000 fold starting from the lysate of 9NA infected cells. The enzyme has an optimum pH between 7 and 8 and its activity is dependent on the ionic strength of the assay medium. Salts like NaCl and KCl are inhibitory to the lysozyme. Gram-negative cells act as better substrate for the lysozyme than do Gram-positive cells. The enzyme has a molecular weight of about 2.1 X 10(4) and rapidly loses its activity at temperatures higher than 45 degrees C. The properties of 9NA lysozyme have been compared with those of T4, lambda and P22 lysozymes. 相似文献

Detection of chitinase activity after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis 总被引:28,自引:0,他引:28
Commercial Streptomyces griseus and Serratia marcescens chitinases and purified wheat germ W1A and hen egg white lysozymes were subjected to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under native conditions at pH 4.3. After electrophoresis, an overlay gel containing 0.01% (W/V) glycol chitin as substrate was incubated in contact with the separation gel. Lytic zones were revealed by uv illumination with a transilluminator after staining for 5 min with 0.01% (W/V) Calcofluor white M2R. As low as 500 ng of purified hen egg lysozyme could be detected after 1 h incubation at 37 degrees C. One band was observed with W1A lysozyme and several bands with the commercial microbial chitinases. The same system was also used with native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 8.9. Several bands were detected with the microbial chitinases. The same enzymes were also subjected to denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in gradient gels containing 0.01% (W/V) glycol chitin. After electrophoresis, enzymes were renatured in buffered 1% (V/V) purified Triton X-100. Lytic zones were revealed by uv after staining with Calcofluor white M2R as for native gels. The molecular weights of chitinolytic enzymes could thus be directly estimated. In denaturing gels, as low as 10 ng of purified hen egg white lysozyme could be detected after 2 h incubation at 37 degrees C. Estimated molecular weights of St. griseus and Se. marcescens were between 24,000 and 72,000 and between 40,500 and 73,000, respectively. Some microbial chitinases were only resistant to denaturation with sodium dodecyl sulfate while others were resistant to sodium dodecyl sulfate and beta-mercaptoethanol. 相似文献

A method based on cold ethyl alcohol fractionation at different pH levels and ionic strengths and on gel filtration on a Sephadex G-200 column was used to concentrate and purify lysozyme from the culture supernatant fluid of Staphylococcus aureus strain 524. The final, nondialyzable product exhibited a 163-fold rise in specific activity over that of the starting material. Staphylococcal lysozyme is a glycosidase which splits N-acetylamino sugars from the susceptible substrate. Staphylococcal lysozyme was shown to be similar to egg white lysozyme in its optimal temperature for reaction, optimal pH, activation by NaCl and Ca(++) ions, inhibition by sodium citrate and ethylenediaminetetraacetate, and inactivation by Cu(++) ions and sodium dodecyl sulfate. It differs from the egg white lysozyme in its temperature susceptibility range (staphylococcal lysozyme is inactivated at 56 C). It acts on whole cells and cell walls of Micrococcus lysodeikticus, murein from S. aureus 524, and cell walls of S. epidermidis Zak. The last substrate was not susceptible to the action of egg white lysozyme in the test system used. The mechanism of action of staphylococcal lysozyme seems to be analogous to that of egg white lysozyme; however, the biological specificity of the two enzymes may be different. 相似文献

After Escherichia coli was injured by freezing, the repair process was studied during incubation of the cells for 2 hr at 25 C in 0.5% K(2)HPO(4) at pH 7.0 in the presence of specific metabolic inhibitors. The repair in K(2)HPO(4) was not affected by inhibitors of the synthesis of protein, nucleic acids, and mucopeptide. These inhibitors prevented growth of the repaired cells in a minimal broth at 35 C for 24 hr (except actinomycin D and hydroxyurea). Several uncouplers of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis reduced the repair process in K(2)HPO(4), but only cyanide and azide prevented growth in minimal medium. Data indicated that the cells synthesized energy in the form of ATP and probably utilized it for the repair process. Addition of ATP also facilitated the repair of injury. The freeze-injured cells showed extreme susceptibility to surface-active agents and lysozyme. The repaired cells, like the uninjured cells, became relatively resistant to these compounds. 相似文献

A technique was developed for measuring the rate of enzymatic maceration in plant tissues. A commercial macerating pectinase (Rohament P, RP), from Aspergillus alleaceus, rich in endopolygalacturonase, softened tissue and released cells from cubes, disksm or rasps of carrot and celery. Cells were counted in a Neubauer counting chamber and residual non-straining tissue was weighed. Cell release dependend on several factors such as surface area of the tissue, temperature, pH, incubation period, and substrate and enzyme concentration. Enzyme concentration greatly influenced the cell number and morphology. The RP enzyme preparation macerated tissue at low concentrations [<0.02% (w/v)]. The carrot or celery tissue was completely liquefied with low levels of RP combined with commercial cellulases from Trichoderma reesei. A similar effect was noticed with the RP enzyme preparation alone at a concentration of 0.1%. Following incubation with the original RP preparation, 50–60% of the cells were liquefield and cell wall thinning was noticed in the residual cells. Liquefaction by the RP enzyme was attributed to cellulases in the preparation. The RP enzyme was modified by depleting its cellulases from the preparation by adsorption on Avicel cellulose. This cellulase-free RP showed only macerating activity and released cells continuously without liquefaction, irrespective of the incubation period or enzyme concentration, cell walls were intact for extended period up to 24–30 h of incubation. 相似文献

A micro-method for the semi-quantitation of surface-bound horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was developed and was applied to study the competition between ligands of glycosyltransferases and HRP for binding sites on the surface of HeLa cells. Dried coverslip cultures of HeLa cells, fixed in methanol, were placed on 0.3 ml of the incubation medium on parafilm and were incubated for 45 min at 37 degrees C. The incubation medium contained HRP, lysozyme and Ca2+ in HEPES buffer, pH 7.2. After washing, the cells were incubated for 60 min at 37 degrees C in HEPES buffer containing 20 mM Ca2+. After this treatment, the plasma membranes showed a strong cytochemical reaction for HRP. Most of the HRP was released into buffer solution during a 5 h incubation at 37 degrees C in the absence of Ca2+, and was measured by spectrophotometry. The addition of 20 mM Ca2+ to the buffer solution prevented the release of most of the HRP from the plasma membranes thus showing that the binding of HRP required Ca2+. Ligands of glycosyltransferases were added to the incubation medium with HRP. The amount of HRP released from the cells decreased in relation to the competing potency and concentration of these ligands. The method was applied to estimate the concentration of some ligands of galactosyltransferase and sialyltransferase that caused a 50% decrease in the release of previously-bound HRP. CMP-neuraminic acid and gangliosides showed a higher competing potency to the surface binding of HRP than UDP-galactose and chitotriose. The spectrophotometric analysis was correlated (on duplicate samples) with cytochemical observations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
