来源于青霉XMZ-9两个低温脂肪酶的基因克隆、原核表达与性质测定

低温脂肪酶在低温条件下仍具有较高活性,在食品添加剂、洗涤添加剂及有机合成等产业具有非常独特的应用前景。从低温菌株中分离低温脂肪酶基因是开发新的低温脂肪酶的有效手段。首先利用油脂同化平板与三丁酸甘油酯-维多利亚蓝平板从冰川土样中筛选分离获得一株具有较高脂肪酶活性的真菌,18S rDNA鉴定其属于青霉属,命名为Penicillium sp.XMZ-9。根据真菌脂肪酶多序列比对获得的保守区,设计简并引物,利用降落PCR与染色体步移的方法从Penicillium sp.XMZ-9中克隆到2个完整的脂肪酶基因,分别记为LipA与LipB。LipA全长1 014 bp,无内含子,编码337个氨基酸。而LipB全长1 232 bp,cDNA长1 122 bp,含有2个内含子,编码373个氨基酸。将两基因的cDNA序列克隆到pET30a(+)载体上,转化大肠杆菌Escherichiacoli BL21(DE3)。经低温诱导表达后,LipA大部分表达为包涵体,包涵体经复性后具有脂肪酶活性,并表现出低温适应性;LipB则大部分表达为可溶性蛋白,Ni-亲和层析柱纯化后,其亦具有低温脂肪酶活性。青霉菌株XMZ-9的获得与低温脂肪酶的克隆表达研究,为研究低温菌株与低温酶的适冷机制提供了宝贵的资源,也为进一步开发利用低温脂肪酶奠定了基础。

利用CRISPR-Cas9技术失活黑曲霉中果胶酶基因及突变株性能评价*

我国果胶酶制剂使用广泛但专一性不高,高效、专一的果胶酶制剂在市场上仍然匮乏。利用基因工程技术改造果胶酶生产菌株——黑曲霉来生产单一成分的果胶酶成为解决果胶酶应用需求的一种有效方案。构建一种高效的CRISPR-Cas9基因编辑技术,可为构建高产单一性果胶酶的黑曲霉底盘菌株提供有效的基因编辑工具。首先敲除产果胶酶黑曲霉基因组上的pyrG基因构建尿嘧啶营养缺陷型菌株AnΔpyrG,并在AnΔpyrG菌株的pyrG基因位点定点整合Cas9基因表达盒和pyrG基因表达盒,构建组成型表达Cas9基因的黑曲霉菌株AnCas9,再构建含有gpdA启动子、锤头结构核酶、HDV核酶的稳定性表达sgRNA的pLM2-sgRNA质粒,建立CRISPR-Cas9基因编辑体系。利用该技术失活AnCas9菌株中的2个聚半乳糖醛酸酶基因4978020和4983861来检测构建的CRISPR-Cas9基因编辑效率并检测4978020基因功能缺失菌株的表型变化和产酶变化,结果表明果胶酶基因编辑效率大于50%,AnΔ4978020的表型和果胶酶酶活性与出发菌株均无明显变化。在黑曲霉中成功构建了高效的Cas9基因编辑技术,4978020基因功能缺失也不影响菌株表型,为构建高产单一性果胶酶黑曲霉底盘菌株奠定基础。

The transposable element Tan1 of Aspergillus niger var. awamori , a new member of the Fot1 family

 Aspergillus niger var. awamori has transposable elements that we refer to as Vader and Tan1 (transposon A. niger). Vader was identified by screening unstable nitrate reductase (niaD) mutants for insertions. Four of the isolated niaD mutants were shown to contain a small insertion element. This 437 bp insertion element, Vader, is flanked by 44 bp inverted repeats (IR) and is present in approximately 15 copies in the genomes of two A. niger strains examined. A synthetic 44 bp oligomer of the inverted repeat of Vader has now been used to clone, via the polymerase chain reaction, a 2.3 kb Tan1 element. The Tan1 element has also been isolated from a partial genomic library. Tan1 is present as a single copy in A. niger var. awamori. The Tan1 element has a unique organization: IR-ORF-IR-IR-Vader-IR. The single open reading frame (ORF) (1668 bp) encodes a putative transposase homologous to Fusarium oxysporum Fot1 and Magnaporthe grisea Pot2. Immediately 3′ to the second inverted repeat, which bounds the transposase, is a copy of the AT-rich Vader element. We hypothesize that at some stage the independent Vader element, although inactive by itself, arose from Tan1, resulting in current strains with only one copy of Tan1 providing transposase activity and numerous mobile copies of Vader dispersed in the genome.

A two-step bioconversion process for vanillin production from ferulic acid combining Aspergillus niger and Pycnoporus cinnabarinus

A two-step bioconversion process of ferulic acid to vanillin was elaborated combining two filamentous fungi, Aspergillus niger and Pycnoporus cinnabarinus. In the first step, A. niger transformed ferulic acid to vanillic acid and in the second step vanillic acid was reduced to vanillin by P. cinnabarinus. Ferulic acid metabolism by A. niger occurred essentially via the propenoic chain degradation to lead to vanillic acid, which was subsequently decarboxylated to methoxyhydroquinone. In 3-day-old cultures of P. cinnabarinus supplied with vanillic-acid-enriched culture medium from A. niger as precursor source, vanillin was successfully produced. In order to improve the yields of the process, sequential additions of precursors were performed. Vanillic acid production by A. niger from ferulic acid reached 920 mg l⁻¹ with a molar yield of 88% and vanillin production by P. cinnabarinus from vanillic acid attained 237 mg l ⁻¹ with a molar yield of 22%. However, the vanillic acid oxidative system producing methoxyhydroquinone was predominant in P. cinnabarinus cultures, which explained the relatively low level in vanillin.     

Microbial transformations of flavanone and 6-hydroxyflavanone by Aspergillus niger strains

Flavanone (1) and 6-hydroxyflavanone (2) were subjected to transformation by means of Aspergillus niger strains (one wild and three UV mutants).

Additionally, for flavanone (1) reduction of C-4 together with hydroxylation at C-7 (6) and dehydrogenation at C-2, C-3 along with hydroxylation at C-3 (4) were observed.

Physiological aspects of free and immobilized Aspergillus niger cultures producing citric acid under various glucose concentrations

Similarities and differences between cultures of free and immobilized Aspergillus niger were identified under various glucose concentrations. Growth and citric acid production rates were compared, and the macro-morphology and fine structure of the mycelia examined to determine which parameters were significant in the production of citric acid. With free cultures the diameter of pellets was inversely related to glucose concentration, while biomass levels were lower for immobilized cultures than the equivalent free cultures. Rates of citric acid production were higher with immobilized mycelium, especially at higher glucose levels. The morphology that characterized high citric acid productivity was that of swollen hyphal tips which were seen at concentrations over 100 kg/m³ glucose in both free and immobilized mycelium. Although there is a characteristic morphology associated with high productivity it does not account for the difference observed between free and immobilized mycelia. The increased glucose uptake and productivity was not due to an increased surface area either, since the immobilized system was slightly lower in total surface area than the equivalent free cultures. The major difference was in the mean diffusion path in the two systems.
