Ephemeral gels, called Enzgels, successively undergo sol-gel and then gel-sol transition under the action of two antagonistic enzymes, transglutaminase and protease. Molecular and macroscopic properties of Enzgels are directly dependent on the enzymatic activities and their ratios. This work studies the characteristics of Enzgels according to the specificity of three different proteases: thermolysin, trypsin, and collagenase. The experiments are conducted using three types of gelatin networks, one created only by triple helices, one only by covalent bonds, and the last network by both triple helices and covalent bonds. Rheology and polarimetry measurements show that the evolution of Enzgels is directly dependent on the specificity of the protease used. Moreover, gelatin network conformation has different influences according to this proteolytic specificity. Collagenase is not very sensitive to gelatin conformation, whereas trypsin is very limited by the presence of covalent bonds. This study considerably expands the knowledge of Enzgel properties. 相似文献

This Article investigates different types of networks formed from tilapia fish gelatin (10% w/w) in the presence and absence of the enzymatic cross-linker microbial transglutaminase. The influence of the temperature protocol and cross-linker concentration (0-55 U mTGase/g gelatin) was examined in physical, chemical, and hybrid gels, where physical gels arise from the formation of triple helices that act as junction points when the gels are cooled below the gelation point. A combination of rheology and optical rotation was used to study the evolution of the storage modulus (G') over time and the number of triple helices formed for each type of gel. We attempted to separate the final storage modulus of the gels into its chemical and physical contributions to examine the existence or otherwise of synergism between the two types of networks. Our experiments show that the gel characteristics vary widely with the thermal protocol. The final storage modulus in chemical gels increased with enzyme concentration, possibly due to the preferential formation of closed loops at low cross-linker amount. In chemical-physical gels, where the physical network (helices) was formed consecutively to the covalent one, we found that below a critical enzyme concentration the more extensive the chemical network is (as measured by G'), the weaker the final gel is. The storage modulus attributed to the physical network decreased exponentially as a function of G' from the chemical network, but both networks were found to be purely additive. Helices were not thermally stabilized. The simultaneous formation of physical and chemical networks (physical-co-chemical) resulted in G' values higher than the individual networks formed under the same conditions. Two regimes were distinguished: at low enzyme concentration (10-20 U mTGase/g gelatin), the networks were formed in series, but the storage modulus from the chemical network was higher in the presence of helices (compared to pure chemical gels); at higher enzyme concentration (30-40 U mTGase/g gelatin), strong synergistic effects were found as a large part of the covalent network became ineffective upon melting of the helices. 相似文献

A study of the conformation of collagen and gelatin in aqueous solution by Optical Self Beat Spectroscopy is reported. The translational diffusion coefficient of monomeric tropocollagen was experimentally measured from the half-width of the Rayleigh scattered radiation and the value obtained is shown to be in good agreement with that calculated from hydrodynamical theory for the tropocollagen rod. The Self Beat Spectrometer was also used to investigate the factors affecting the aggregation and flexing of molecules in dilute gelatin solutions and the gel-sol transition in more concentrated gelatin solutions. 相似文献

Liquid crystalline (LC) phase transition and gel-sol transition in the solutions of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and ionic liquid (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, EMIMAc) have been investigated through a combination of polarized optical microscope (POM) observation and rheological measurements. Molecular LC phase forms at the 10 wt % cellulose concentration, as observed by POM, whereas the critical gel point is 12.5 wt % by rheological measurements according to the Winter and Chambon theory, for which the loss tangent, tan δ, shows frequency independence. Dramatic decreases of G' and G' in the phase transition temperature range during temperature sweep are observed due to disassembling of the LC domain junctions. The phase diagram describing the LC phase and gel-sol transitions is obtained and the associated mechanisms are elucidated. A significant feature shown in the phase diagram is the presence of a narrow lyotropic LC solution region, which potentially has a great importance for the cellulose fiber wet spinning. 相似文献

The availability of mannuronan and mannuronan C-5 epimerases allows the production of a strictly alternating mannuronate-guluronate (MG) polymer and the MG-enrichment of natural alginates, providing a powerful tool for the analysis of the role of such sequences in the calcium-alginate gel network. In view of the calcium binding properties of long alternating sequences revealed by circular dichroism studies which leads eventually to the formation of stable hydrogels, their direct involvement in the gel network is here suggested. In particular, 1H NMR results obtained from a mixed alginate sample containing three polymeric species, G blocks, M blocks, and MG blocks, without chemical linkages between the block structures, indicate for the first time the formation of mixed junctions between G and MG blocks. This is supported by the analysis of the Young's modulus of hydrogels from natural and epimerized samples obtained at low calcium concentrations. Furthermore, the "zipping" of long alternating sequences in secondary MG/MG junctions is suggested to account for the shrinking (syneresis) of alginate gels in view of its dependence on the length of the MG blocks. As a consequence, a partial network collapse, macroscopically revealed by a decrease in the Young's modulus, occurred as the calcium concentration in the gel was increased. The effect of such "secondary" junctions on the viscoelastic properties of alginate gels was evaluated measuring their creep compliance under uniaxial compression. The experimental curves, fitted by a model composed of a Maxwell and a Voigt element in series, revealed an increase in the frictional forces between network chains with increasing length of the alternating sequences. This suggests the presence of an ion mediated mechanism preventing the shear of the gel. 相似文献

Calcium-alginate gel bead cross-linked with gelatin as microcarrier for anchorage-dependent cell culture 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Valuable products obtainedfrom the cultivation of anchorage-dependent mammalian cells require large-scale processes to obtain commercially useful quantities. It is generally accepted that suspension culture is the ideal mode of operation. Because anchorage-dependent cells need surfaces to be able to attach and spread, the incorporation of microcarriers to suspension culture is indispensable. Since the dextran-based microcarrier wasfirst introduced, many different types of microcarriers have been developed and commercialized. In this study, alginate-based microcarriers were made in the following order: (i) calcium-alginate gel beads prepared by dropping a blend of sodium alginate and propylene glycol alginate (PGA) into calcium chloride solution, (ii) the PGA section of gel beads cross-linked with gelatin in alkaline solution (i.e., via the transacylation reaction between the ester group of PGA and amino group of gelatin), and (iii) gelatin membrane around the beads further cross-linked by glutaraldehyde. The glutaraldehyde-treated gelatintransacylated PGA/alginate microcarrier showed superior features in high stability under phosphate-containing solution, density close to that of culture medium, and transparency. Moreover, the Chinese hamster ovary CHO-KI and amphotropic retrovirus producer PA317 cells cultivated on the newly synthesized microcarriers exhibited similar growth kinetics of these two types of cell lines cultured on commercial polystyrene microcarriers. However, cell morphology was easily monitored on the transparent microcarriers made in this study. 相似文献

Aims: The present study was aimed at finding the optimal conditions for the production of pectate lyase using immobilized Bacillus pumilus DKS1 cells in calcium-alginate (Ca-alginate) beads and determining the efficient degumming of ramie fibre.
Methods and Results: The active cells of B. pumilus DKS1 were immobilized in Ca-alginate and used for the production of pectate lyase. The production of enzyme increased significantly with increasing alginate concentration and reached a maximum enzyme yield of 38·5 U ml−1 at 18 g l−1 . This was about 1·5-fold higher than that obtained by free cells. Degummed fibre using immobilized cells showed better tenacity than that prepared by using nonimmobilized cells.
Conclusions: The Ca-alginate entrapment is a promising immobilization method of B. pumilus DKS1 for semicontinuous enzyme production. Enzyme production by immobilized cells is superior to that of free cells because it leads to higher volumetric activities within the same period of fermentation. Fibre degumming by using immobilized cells produced better quality fibre.
Significance and Impact of the Study: This is the first report of degumming of fibre using enzyme from immobilized B. pumilus cells as per our knowledge. High-quality degummed fibre could be prepared with relatively inexpensive inputs for use in the textile and paper industry. 相似文献

A study of alginate lyase was carried out to determine if this enzyme could be used to remove alginate present in the core of alginate/poly-L-lysine (AG/PLL) microcapsules in order to maximize cell growth and colonization. A complete kinetic study was undertaken, which indicated an optimal activity of the enzyme at pH 7-8, 50 degrees C, in the presence of Ca2+. The buffer, not the ionic strength, influenced the alginate degradation rate. Alginate lyase was also shown to be active on gelled forms of alginate, as well as on the AG/PLL complex constituting the membrane of microcapsules. Batch cultures of CHO cells in the presence of alginate showed a decrease of the growth rate by a factor of 2, although the main metabolic flux rates were not modified. The addition of alginate lyase to cell culture medium increased the doubling time 5-7-fold and decreased the protein production rate, although cell viability was not affected. The addition of enzyme to medium containing alginate did not improve growth conditions. This suggests that alginate lyase is probably not suitable for hydrolysis of microcapsules in the presence of cells, in order to achieve high cell density and high productivity. However, the high activity may be useful for releasing cells from alginate beads or AG/PLL microcapsules. 相似文献

The structural behavior of a well-characterized gelatin sample has been revisited to investigate the morphology of its network in the presence of sugar. This was then contrasted with the corresponding properties of the gelling polysaccharides agarose, kappa-carrageenan, and deacylated gellan. Small deformation dynamic oscillation, differential scanning calorimetry in plain and modulated mode, visual observations, and transmission electron microscopy were used to identify the structural characteristics of the biopolymers from the rubbery plateau through the transition region to the glassy state. In contrast to the collapse of the polysaccharide gels at intermediate levels of co-solute, gelatin forms reinforced networks. The drop in polysaccharide network strength is accompanied by a decline in the enthalpy of the coil-to-helix transition, whereas the transition enthalpy is more pronounced in gelatin gels in accordance with their strengthening. Tangible evidence of the molecular transformations was obtained using microscopy, with polysaccharides disaggregating and dissolving in the saturated sugar environment. Gelatin, on the other hand, is visualized in an aggregated form thus producing a phase-separated topology with sugar. 相似文献

The action of alginate lyases may be easily followed in a UV-spectrophotometer, since each cut of the alginate chain will create an unsaturated unit at the non-reducing end with a strong absorbance at 230 nm. During prolonged incubation, this absorbance will approach an apparent endpoint level that reflects the initial substrate concentration. On this basis, a standardized assay has been developed. A combination of purified mannuronate lyase from Haliotis tuberculata and purified guluronate lyase from Klebsiella pneumoniae is applied to get quantitative concentration estimates that do not depend on alginate composition. The production of alginate in Azotobacter vinelandii is included as an example of application. Most important, by applying both enzymes alone and in combination, the block composition of the alginate may be estimated. Data for a series of widely different alginates have been compared with those obtained by NMR. 相似文献

We monitored the fluorescence intensity and anisotropy of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) incorporated in bovine serum albumin (BSA) and dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) vesicle membranes, which in turn were embedded in optically clear gelatin solutions, as a function of temperature. DPH in BSA gave unanticipated large changes in fluorescence intensity and anisotropy at the instant of gelatin gel melting. Both steady state anisotropy and fluorescence intensity reported the gel-sol transition point in gelatin unambiguously, which was independently confirmed as physical-pour point of the gel. In the case of DMPC vesicles, fluorescence intensity indicated the gelatin transition, while the anisotropy indicated DMPC phase transition. This fluorescence methodology uniquely offered a common probe for two distinct transitions in two distinct domains interconnected by the solvent, water. 相似文献

Effect of Na+, K+ and Ca2+ on gel transition temperature (Tg) of gelatin hydrogels (5%, w/v) has been studied by oscillatory rheology in the salt concentration range I = 0.01-0.1 M, which showed increase in Tg with salt concentration with the trend for Tg showing Ca2+ > K+ > Na+. The dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements in the sol state (T>Tg) showed two distinct relaxation modes whereas only a gel mode was observed in the gel state in all the samples which contained significant amount of heterodyne contribution. Low frequency (1.5 rad/s) isochronal storage modulus data revealed the formation of strong gel in presence of CaCl2 compared to that of NaCl and KCl situations. The slow mode relaxation and heterodyne parameter obtained from DLS data indicate the presence of larger clusters in Ca2+ gels. 相似文献

A metagenomic fosmid library was constructed using a genomic DNA mixture extracted from the gut microflora of abalone. The
library gave an alginate lyase positive clone (AlyDW) harboring a 31.7-kbp insert. The AlyDW insert consisted of 22 open reading
frames (ORFs). The deduced amino acid sequences of ORFs 11–13 were similar to those of known alginate lyase genes, which are
found adjacent in the genome of Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. aerogenes, Vibrio splendidus, and Vibrio sp. belonging to the phylum Gammaproteobacteria. Among the three recombinant proteins expressed from the three ORFs, alginate lyase activity was only observed in the recombinant
protein (AlyDW11) coded by ORF 11. The expressed protein (AlyDW11) had the highest alginate lyase activity at pH 7.0 and 45°C
in the presence of 1 mM AgNO3. The alginate lyase activity of ORF 11 was confirmed to be endolytic by thin-layer chromatography. AlyDW11 preferred poly(β-d-mannuronate) as a substrate over poly(α-l-guluronate). AlyDW11 contained three highly conserved regions, RSEL, QIH, and YFKAGVYNQ, which may act to stabilize the three-dimensional
conformation and function of the alginate lyase. 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

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

A bacterium possessing alginate-degrading activity was isolated from marine brown seaweed soup liquefied by salted and fermented
anchovy. The isolated strain was designated as Sphingomonas sp. MJ-3 based on the analyses of 16S ribosomal DNA sequences, 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer region sequences, biochemical
characteristics, and cellular fatty acid composition. A novel alginate lyase gene was cloned from genomic DNA library and
then expressed in Escherichia coli. When the deduced amino acid sequence was compared with the sequences on the databases, interestingly, the cloned gene product
was predicted to consist of AlgL (alginate lyase L)-like and heparinase-like protein domain. The MJ-3 alginate lyase gene
shared below 27.0% sequence identity with exolytic alginate lyase of Sphingomonas sp. A1. The optimal pH and temperature for the recombinant MJ-3 alginate lyase were 6.5 and 50°C, respectively. The final
degradation products of alginate oligosaccharides were analyzed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and proved to
be alginate monosaccharides. Based on the results, the recombinant alginate lyase from Sphingomonas sp. MJ-3 is regarded as an oligoalginate lyase that can degrade oligoalginate and alginate into alginate monosaccharides. 相似文献

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)-loaded alginate beads embedded in gelatin scaffolds were successfully prepared. The AgNPs-loaded calcium alginate beads were prepared by electrospraying method. The effect of alginate concentration and applied voltage on shape and diameter of beads was studied. The diameter of dry AgNPs-loaded calcium alignate beads at various concentrations of AgNO3 ranged between 154 and 171 μm. The AgNPs-loaded calcium alginate beads embedded in gelatin scaffolds were fabricated by freeze-drying method. The water swelling and weight loss behaviors of the AgNPs-loaded alginate beads embedded in gelatin scaffolds increased with an increase in the submersion time. Moreover, the genipin-cross-linked gelatin scaffolds were proven to be nontoxic to normal human dermal fibroblasts, suggesting their potential uses as wound dressings. 相似文献
