Considering the extraordinary microbial diversity and importance of fungi as enzyme producers, the search for new biocatalysts with special characteristics and possible applications in biocatalysis is of great interest. Here, we report the performance in the resolution of racemic ibuprofen of a native enantioselective lipase from Aspergillus niger, free and immobilized in five types of support (Accurel EP-100, Amberlite MB-1, Celite, Montmorillonite K10 and Silica gel). Amberlite MB-1 was found to be the best support, with a conversion of 38.2%, enantiomeric excess of 50.7% and enantiomeric ratio (E value) of 19 in 72 h of reaction. After a thorough optimization of several parameters, the E value of the immobilized Aspergillus niger lipase was increased (E = 23) in a shorter reaction period (48 h) at 35°C. Moreover, the immobilized Aspergillus niger lipase maintained an esterification activity of at least 80% after 8 months of storage at 4°C and could be reused at least six times.  相似文献

Candida antarctica lipase fraction B (CAL-B) showed substrate specificity in the synthesis of esters in hexane involving reactions of short-chain acids having linear (acetic and butyric acids) and branched chain (isovaleric acid) structures, an unsaturated (tiglic acid) fatty acid, and phenylacetic acid with n-butanol and geraniol. The variation in the conversion to the esters was ca. 10%. Similar results were observed in a study of the alcohol specificity of the enzyme for esterification of acetic and butyric acids with four alcohols: n-butyl, isopentyl, 2-phenylethyl, and geraniol. Enantioselectivity of CAL-B in hexane with a range of chiral -substituted or -substituted carboxylic acids and n-butyl alcohol was analyzed. The results show that CAL-B can be employed as a robust biocatalyst in esterification reactions due to the high conversions obtained in the synthesis of short-chain flavor esters in an organic solvent, although this enzyme exhibited modest enantioselectivity with chiral short-chain carboxylic acids.  相似文献

Four temperature treatments were studied in the climate controlled growth chambers of the Georgia Envirotron: 25/20, 30/25, 35/30, and 40/35 °C during 14/10 h light/dark cycle. For the first growth stage (V3-5), the highest net photosynthetic rate (P N) of sweet corn was found for the lowest temperature of 28–34 μmol m−2 s−1 while the P N for the highest temperature treatment was 50–60 % lower. We detected a gradual decline of about 1 P N unit per 1 °C increase in temperature. Maximum transpiration rate (E) fluctuated between 0.36 and 0.54 mm h−1 (≈5.0–6.5 mm d−1) for the high temperature treatment and the minimum E fluctuated between 0.25 and 0.36 mm h−1 (≈3.5–5.0 mm d−1) for the low temperature treatment. Cumulative CO2 fixation of the 40/35 °C treatment was 33.7 g m−2 d−1 and it increased by about 50 % as temperature declined. The corresponding water use efficiency (WUE) decreased from 14 to 5 g(CO2) kg−1(H2O) for the lowest and highest temperature treatments, respectively. Three main factors affected WUE, P N, and E of Zea: the high temperature which reduced P N, vapor pressure deficit (VPD) that was directly related to E but did not affect P N, and quasi stem conductance (QC) that was directly related to P N but did not affect E. As a result, WUE of the 25/20 °C temperature treatment was almost three times larger than that of 40/35 °C temperature treatment.  相似文献

A gene encoding a putative epoxide hydrolase (EHase) was identified by analyzing an open reading frame of the genome sequence of Novosphingobium aromaticivorans, retaining the conserved catalytic residues such as the catalytic triad (Asp177, Glu328, and His355) and the oxyanion hole. The enantioselective EHase gene (neh) was cloned, and the recombinant EHase could be purified to apparent homogeneity by one step of metal affinity chromatography and further characterized. The purified N. aromaticivorans enantioselective epoxide hydrolase (NEH) showed enantioselective hydrolysis toward styrene oxide, glycidyl phenyl ether, epoxybutane, and epichlorohydrin. The optimal EHase activity toward styrene oxide occurred at pH 6.5 and 45°C. The purified NEH could preferentially hydrolyze (R)-styrene oxide with enantiomeric excess of more than 99% and 11.7% yield after 20-min incubation at an optimal condition. The enantioselective hydrolysis of styrene oxide was also confirmed by the analysis of the vicinal diol, 1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol. The hydrolyzing rates of the purified NEH toward epoxide substrates were not affected by as high as 100 mM racemic styrene oxide.  相似文献

The glucose oxidase (GOD) gene from Penicillium notatum was expressed in Pichia pastoris. The 1,815 bp gene, god-w, encodes 604 amino acids. Recombinant GOD-w had optimal activity at 35–40°C and pH 6.2 and was stable, from pH 3 to 7 maintaining >75% maximum activity after incubation at 50°C for 1 h. GOD-w worked as well as commercial GODs to improve bread making. To achieve high-level expression of recombinant GOD in P. pastoris, 272 nucleotides involving 228 residues were mutated, consistent with the codon bias of P. pastoris. The optimized recombinant GOD-m yielded 615 U ml−1 (2.5 g protein l−1) in a 3 l fermentor—410% higher than GOD-w (148 U ml−1), and thus is a low-cost alternative for the bread baking industry.  相似文献

Twenty-three isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sokorin and three isolates of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin (Ascomycota: Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) were assessed for their virulence against the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae). Based on the screening results, nine isolates of M. anisopliae and two isolates of B. bassiana were tested for their virulence against young adult (1- to 2-day-old) female T. urticae at constant temperatures of 20, 25, 30 and 35°C. At all temperatures tested, all the fungal isolates were pathogenic to T. urticae but mortality varied with isolates and temperatures. Fungal isolates were more virulent at 25, 30 and 35°C than at 20°C. The lethal time to 50% mortality (LT50) and lethal time to 90% mortality (LT90) values decreased with increased temperature. There were no significant differences in virulence between fungal isolates at 30 and 35°C; however, significant differences were observed at 20 and 25°C.  相似文献

The biotransformation of racemic 1-phenylethanol (30 mg) with plant cultured cells of basil (Ocimum basilicum cv. Purpurascens, 5 g wet wt) by shaking 120 rpm at 25°C for 7 days in the dark gave (R)-(+)-1-phenylethanol and acetophenone in 34 and 24% yields, respectively. The biotransformation can be applied to other 1-arylethanols and basil cells oxidized the (S)-alcohols to the corresponding ketones remaining the (R)-alcohols in excellent ee.  相似文献

To examine the role of acclimation versus adaptation on the temperature responses of CO2 assimilation, we measured dark respiration (R n) and the CO2 response of net photosynthesis (A) in Populus balsamifera collected from warm and cool habitats and grown at warm and cool temperatures. R n and the rate of photosynthetic electron transport (J) are significantly higher in plants grown at 19 versus 27°C; R n is not affected by the native thermal habitat. By contrast, both the maximum capacity of rubisco (V cmax) and A are relatively insensitive to growth temperature, but both parameters are slightly higher in plants from cool habitats. A is limited by rubisco capacity from 17–37°C regardless of growth temperature, and there is little evidence for an electron-transport limitation. Stomatal conductance (g s) is higher in warm-grown plants, but declines with increasing measurement temperature from 17 to 37°C, regardless of growth temperature. The mesophyll conductance (g m) is relatively temperature insensitive below 25°C, but g m declines at 37°C in cool-grown plants. Plants acclimated to cool temperatures have increased R n/A, but this response does not differ between warm- and cool-adapted populations. Primary carbon metabolism clearly acclimates to growth temperature in P. balsamifera, but the ecotypic differences in A suggest that global warming scenarios might affect populations at the northern and southern edges of the boreal forest in different ways.  相似文献

O-Pentynyl dextran (PyD), an amphiphilic polysaccharide derivative with a degree of substitution (DS) of 0.43 was compared with ion exchange resins Lewatit VP OC 1600, Amberlite XAD 761 and Duolite A568 for immobilization of Lipase from Rhizopus arrhizus by adsorption method. The immobilized enzymes were employed for esterification of octanoic acid with geraniol in n-hexane as model reaction. PyD showed higher lipase adsorption and with 249 μmol min−1 g−1 significant higher esterification activity than the other supports (67–83 μmol min−1 g−1). Biocatalysts from all types of supports except PyD became completely inactive within 8 weeks storing at −10 °C while lipase immobilized on PyD retained its full esterification activity for at least 14 weeks. In repeated use, yield decreased rapidly after two cycles for all supports except for PyD. For this biopolymeric support, constantly 90% yield was achieved even after eight cycles, when the biocatalyst was washed with n-hexane and water and then freeze-dried. To achieve this yield, prolonged reaction times were required, partly on the account of an increasing delay period, probably to adapt active conformation, until the reaction starts.  相似文献

The cytochrome b 6 f (Cyt b 6 f) complex, which functions as a plastoquinol-plastocyanin oxidoreductase and mediates the linear electron flow between photosystem II (PSII) and photosystem I (PSI) and the cyclic electron flow around PSI, was isolated from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts using n-octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (β-OG). The preparation was also able to catalyze the peroxidase-like reaction in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and guaiacol. The optimal conditions for peroxidase activity of the preparation included: pH 3.6, ionic strength 0.1, and temperature 35°C. The apparent Michaelis constant (K m) values for H2O2 and guaiacol were 50 mM and 2 mM, respectively. The bimolecular rate constant (k obs) was about 26 M−1 s−1 and the turnover number (K cat) was about 60 min−1 (20 mM guaiacol, 100 mM sodium phosphate, pH 3.6, 25°C, [H2O2]<100mM). These parameters were similar to those of several other heme-containing proteins, such as myoglobin and Cyt c.  相似文献

Two extracellular chitinases were purified from Paecilomyces variotii DG-3, a chitinase producer and a nematode egg-parasitic fungus, to homogeneity by DEAE Sephadex A-50 and Sephadex G-100 chromatography. The purified enzymes were a monomer with an apparent molecular mass of 32 kDa (Chi32) and 46 kDa (Chi46), respectively, and showed chitinase activity bands with 0.01% glycol chitin as a substrate after SDS-PAGE. The first 20 and 15 N-terminal amino acid sequences of Chi32 and Chi46 were determined to be Asp-Pro-Typ-Gln-Thr-Asn-Val-Val-Tyr-Thr-Gly-Gln-Asp-Phe-Val-Ser-Pro-Asp-Leu-Phe and Asp-Ala-X-X-Tyr-Arg-Ser-Val-Ala-Tyr-Phe-Val-Asn-Trp-Ala, respectively. Optimal temperature and pH of the Chi32 and Chi46 were found to be both 60°C, and 2.5 and 3.0, respectively. Chi32 was almost inhibited by metal ions Ag+ and Hg2+ while Chi46 by Hg2+ and Pb2+ at a 10 mM concentration but both enzymes were enhanced by 1 mM concentration of Co2+. On analyzing the hydrolyzates of chitin oligomers [(GlcNAc) n , n = 2–6)], it was considered that Chi32 degraded chitin oligomers as an exo-type chitinase while Chi46 as an endo-type chitinase.  相似文献

Two experiments were performed to determine how application of the cytokinin benzyladenine (BA) influenced flowering in Doritaenopsis and Phalaenopsis orchid clones. In the first experiment, two vegetative orchid clones growing in 15-cm pots were transferred from a 28°C greenhouse that inhibited flowering to a 23°C greenhouse for flower induction (day 0). A foliar spray (0.2 L m−2) containing BA at 100, 200, or 400 mg L−1 or 25, 50, or 100 mg L−1 each of BA and gibberellins A4 + A7 (BA+GA) was applied on days 0, 7, and 14. Plants treated with BA alone at 200 or 400 mg L−1 had a visible inflorescence 3–9 days earlier and had a mean of 0.7–3.5 more inflorescences and 3–8 more flowers per plant than nontreated plants. The application of BA+GA had no effect on inflorescence number and total flower number at the rates tested. In the second experiment, three orchid clones received a single foliar spray of BA at 200 mg L−1 at six time points relative to time of transfer from 29°C to 23°C (−1, 0, +1, +2, +4, or +6 weeks). A separate group of plants received a BA application at week 0 but was maintained at 29°C. Inflorescence number was greatest in all three orchid clones when plants were treated with BA 1 week after the temperature transfer. Plants that were sprayed with BA and maintained at 29°C did not initiate inflorescences. The promotion of flowering by the application of BA suggests that cytokinins at least partially regulate inflorescence initiation of Doritaenopsis and Phalaenopsis, but its promotion is conditional and BA application cannot completely substitute for an inductive low temperature.  相似文献

We investigated the effect of temperature on development and demographic parameters such as the intrinsic rate of natural increase (r m) of the two spider mite species Tetranychus merganser Boudreaux and T. kanzawai Kishida at eleven constant temperatures ranging from 15 to 40°C at intervals of 2.5°C. Both male and female T. merganser and T. kanzawai completed development from egg to adult at temperatures ranging from 15 to 37.5°C. The longest developmental duration of immature stages was found at 15°C and the shortest developmental duration was found at 35°C for both species. Using linear and non-linear developmental rate models, the lower thermal thresholds for egg-to-adult (female and male) and egg-to-egg development were estimated as 12.2–12.3°C for T. merganser and as 10.8°C for T. kanzawai. The highest developmental rates were observed at around 35°C, whereas the upper developmental thresholds were around 40°C for both species. In fact, at 40°C, a few eggs of either species hatched, but no larvae reached the next stage. The r m-values of T. merganser ranged from 0.072 (15°C) to 0.411 day−1 (35°C), whereas those of T. kanzawai ranged from 0.104 (15°C) to 0.399 (30°C). The r m-values were higher for T. kanzawai than for T. merganser at temperatures from 15 to 30°C, but not at 35°C (0.348 day−1). Total fecundity of T. merganser was also higher than that of T. kanzawai at 35°C. These results indicate that higher temperatures favor T. merganser more than T. kanzawai.  相似文献

Biochemical parameters of the angiotensin converting enzyme-like activity (ACELA) in the gills of two Antarctic teleosts, Chionodraco hamatus and Trematomus bernacchii were characterized. Enzymatic activity was revealed following hydrolysis of a specific substrate of angiotensin-converting enzyme N-[3-(2-furyl)acryloyl]l-phenylalanyl-glycyl-glycine (FAPGG) and metabolites were separated by reverse phase HPLC analysis. The results showed similar Km values for the substrate FAPGG at 5°C for the two species with an increase of Km value for T. bernacchii at 25°C. The optimum pH value was 8.5 at 25°C and optimum chloride concentrations were about 300 mM. In T. bernacchii the optimum temperature for maximum enzyme activity was 50°C, while maximum activity in C. hamatus occurred at 35°C. Lisinopril was more efficient in inhibiting ACELA in C. hamatus with an I 50 value of 16.83 ± 5.11 nM, compared to an I 50 value of 30.66 ± 5.19 nM in T. bernacchii. In conclusion, it appears that some biochemical parameters of ACELA in C. hamatus differ from those in T. bernacchii, probably due to different ways that the enzyme adapts to the constantly cold temperatures of the animal’s environment.  相似文献

A somatic embryogenesis protocol for plant regeneration of northern red oak (Quercus rubra) was established from immature cotyledon explants. Embryogenic callus cultures were induced on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) containing 3% sucrose, 0.24% Phytagel™, and various concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-d) after 4 weeks of culture in darkness. A higher response (66%) of embryogenic callus was induced on 0.45 μM 2,4-d. Higher numbers of globular- (31), heart- (17), torpedo- (12), and cotyledon-stage (8) embryos per explant were obtained by culturing embryogenic callus on MS with 3% sucrose, 0.24% Phytagel™, and devoid of growth regulators after 8 weeks culture in darkness. Continuous sub-culturing of embryogenic callus on medium containing 2,4-d yielded only compact callus. Desiccation of embryos for 3 days in darkness at 25 ± 2°C followed by cold storage at 4°C in darkness for 8 weeks favored embryo germination and development of plantlets. Cotyledon-stage embryos subjected to desiccation and chilling treatment cultured on MS with 3% sucrose, 0.24 Phytagel™, 0.44 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA), and 0.29 μM gibberellic acid germinated at a higher frequency (61%) than with 0.44 μM BA alone and control cultures. Germinated plantlets developed a shoot and root, were acclimatized successfully, and maintained in a growth room for plantlet development.  相似文献

A recombinant d-lyxose isomerase from Providencia stuartii was immobilized on Duolite A568 beads which gave the highest conversion of d-fructose to d-mannose among the various immobilization beads evaluated. Maximum activities of both the free and immobilized enzymes for fructose isomerization were at pH 7.5 and 45°C in the presence of 1 mM Mn2+. Enzyme half-lives were 14 and 30 h at 35°C and 3.4 and 5.1 h at 45°C, respectively. The immobilized enzyme in 300 g fructose/l (replaced hourly), produced 75 g mannose/l at 35°C = 25% (w/w) yield with a productivity of 75 g mannose l−1 h−1 after 23 cycles.  相似文献

The sequence of an endo-chitosanase gene (CSN) from Aspergillus fumigatus was optimized based on the preferred codons of Pichia pastoris and synthesized in vitro through overlapping PCR (CSN-P). The gene was cloned into a yeast expression vector, pHBM905A, and secretorily expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115. The yield of CSN-P reached ~3 mg/ml with a high-density fermentation in a 14 l fermenter and the enzyme activity was ~25,000 U/ml. The enzyme had half-lives of 2.5 h at 80°C, 1 h at 90°C and 32 min at 100°C. It retained 70% activity after incubation with 10 M urea at room temperature for 30 min. This enzyme was used for a large-scale preparation of oligosaccharides: 3 g enzyme converted 200 kg chitosan into oligosaccharides in 24 h at 60°C.  相似文献

The genes encoding an alcohol dehydrogenase, Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase and an esterase from P. fluorescens DSM 50106, which seemed to be metabolically connected based on the sequence of the corresponding open reading frames, were cloned into one vector (pABE) and functionally expressed in Escherichia coli. Overall expression levels were quite low, however, using whole cells of E. coli JM109 pABE expressing the three recombinant enzymes, conversion of secondary alcohols (Cn) to the corresponding primary alcohols (Cn−2) and acetic acid via ketone and ester was possible. In this way, 2-decanol was almost completely converted within 20 h at 30°C. Thus, it could be shown that the three enzymes are metabolically connected and that they are most probably involved in alkane degradation via sub-terminal oxidation of the acyclic aliphatic hydrocarbons.  相似文献

Several new microorganisms have been isolated from soil samples with high epoxide hydrolase activity toward ethyl 3,4-epoxybutyrate. Screening was performed by enrichment culture on alkenes as sole carbon source, followed by chiral gas chromatography. Eight strains were discovered with enantioselectivity from moderate to high level and identified as bacterial and yeast species. Cells were cultivated under aerobic condition at 30°C using glucose as carbon source and resting cells were used as biocatalysts for kinetic resolution of ethyl 3,4-epoxybutyrate. Among isolated microorganisms, Acinetobacter baumannii showed highest enantioselectivity for (S)-enantiomer, resulting in (R)-ethyl-3,4-epoxybutyrates (>99%ee, 46% yield). It is the first report on the fact that epoxide hydrolases originating from bacterial species of A. baumannii was applied to kinetic resolution of ethyl 3,4-epoxybutyrate in order to obtain enantiopure high-value-added (R)-ethyl-3,4-epoxybutyrate.  相似文献
