不同碳氮源对糙皮侧耳木质纤维素酶活性的影响

以糙皮侧耳Pleurotus ostreatus为材料,研究简单碳氮源及木质素纯品诱导条件对其木质纤维素酶活性的影响。结果表明,不同的碳源培养基和氮源培养基对糙皮侧耳漆酶活性、羧甲基纤维素酶活性和木聚糖酶活性均具有极显著的影响（P<0.001）,且对糙皮侧耳菌丝生物量也有极显著的影响（P<0.001）。以蔗糖作主要碳源诱导物时,有利于提高糙皮侧耳漆酶活性;以果糖作主要碳源诱导物时,有利于提高糙皮侧耳羧甲基纤维素酶活性和菌丝生物量的积累;以葡萄糖作主要碳源诱导物时,有利于提高糙皮侧耳木聚糖酶活性。以酵母浸粉作主要氮源诱导物时,有利于提高糙皮侧耳漆酶活性和菌丝生物量的积累;以硝酸钾作为主要氮源诱导物时,有利于提高糙皮侧耳羧甲基纤维素酶活性;以硫酸铵作为主要氮源诱导物时,有利于提高糙皮侧耳木聚糖酶活性。碱性木素的存在,有利于提高糙皮侧耳漆酶活性,但不利于菌丝生物量的积累。与此同时,碱性木素的存在对糙皮侧耳羧甲基纤维素酶和木聚糖酶活性并没有促进作用。     

Effect of nitrogen source on lignocellulolytic enzyme production by white-rot basidiomycetes under solid-state cultivation

Summary The effect of additional nitrogen sources on lignocellulolytic enzyme production by four species of white-rot fungi (Funalia trogii IBB 146, Lentinus edodes IBB 363, Pleurotus dryinus IBB 903, and P. tuberregium IBB 624) in solid-state fermentation (SSF) of wheat straw and beech tree leaves was strain- and substrate-dependent. In general, the yields of hydrolytic enzymes and laccase increased by supplementation of medium with an additional nitrogen source. This stimulating effect of additional nitrogen on enzyme accumulation was due to higher biomass production. Only xylanase specific activity of P. dryinus IBB 903 and laccase specific activity of L. edodes IBB 363 increased significantly (by 66% and 73%, respectively) in SSF of wheat straw by addition of nitrogen source to the control medium. Additional nitrogen (20 mM) repressed manganese peroxidase (MnP) production by all fungi tested. The study of the nitrogen concentration effect revealed that 10 mM peptone concentration was optimal for cellulase and xylanase accumulation by P. dryinus IBB 903. While variation of the peptone concentration did not cause the change in MnP yield, elevated concentrations of this nutrient (20–40 mM) led to a 2–3-fold increase of P. dryinus IBB 903 laccase activity. About 10–20 mM concentration of NH₄NO₃ was optimal for cellulase and xylanase production by F. trogii IBB 146. However, neither the laccase nor the MnP yield was significantly changed by the additional nitrogen source.     

Effects of Nitrogen Supplements on Degradation of Aspen Wood Lignin and Carbohydrate Components by Phanerochaete chrysosporium

A supplement of KH₂PO₄, MgSO₄, CaCl₂, trace elements, and thiamine accelerated the initial rate of aspen wood decay by Phanerochaete chrysosporium but did not increase the extent of lignin degradation. Asparagine, casein hydrolysate, and urea supplements (1% added N) strongly inhibited lignin degradation and weight loss. The complex nitrogen sources peptone and yeast extract stimulated lignin degradation and weight loss. Albumen and NH₄Cl had intermediate effects. Conversion of [¹⁴C]lignin to ¹⁴CO₂ and water-soluble materials underestimated lignin degradation in the presence of the complex N sources. The highest ratio of lignin degradation to total weight loss and the largest increase in cellulase digestibility occurred during the decay of unsupplemented wood. Rotting of aspen wood by P. chrysosporium gives smaller digestibility increases than have been found with some other white-rot fungi.     

Effect of copper,nutrient nitrogen,and wood-supplement on the production of lignin-modifying enzymes by the white-rot fungus Phlebia radiata

Production of the oxidoreductive lignin-modifying enzymes – lignin and manganese peroxidases (MnPs), and laccase – of the white-rot basidiomycete Phlebia radiata was investigated in semi-solid cultures supplemented with milled grey alder or Norway spruce and charcoal. Concentrations of nutrient nitrogen and Cu-supplement varied also in the cultures. According to extracellular activities, production of both lignin peroxidase (LiP) and MnP was significantly promoted with wood as carbon source, with milled alder (MA) and low nitrogen (LN) resulting with the maximal LiP activities (550 nkat l⁻¹) and noticeable levels of MnP (3 μkat l⁻¹). Activities of LiP and MnP were also elevated on high nitrogen (HN) complex medium when supplemented with spruce and charcoal. Maximal laccase activities (22 and 29 μkat l⁻¹) were obtained in extra high nitrogen (eHN) containing defined and complex media supplemented with 1.5 mM Cu²⁺. However, the nitrogen source, either peptone or ammonium nitrate and asparagine, caused no stimulation on laccase production without Cu-supplement. This is also the first report to demonstrate a new, on high Cu²⁺ amended medium produced extracellular laccase of P. radiata with pI value of 4.9, thereby complementing our previous findings on gene expression, and cloning of a second laccase of this fungus.     

Effect of carbon and nitrogen sources on xylanase production by Trichoderma harzianum 1073 D3

In order to determine the effect of different carbon and nitrogen sources on xylanase production by Trichoderma harzianum 1073 D3, xylan in the xylanase production medium was replaced with different carbon sources. In order to reduce production time, glucose was added to the production media containing xylan. The effects of sucrose, maltose and lactose were investigated and maximum xylanase activity was observed in the presence of sucrose. Ammonium sulphate was the most appropriate inorganic nitrogen source for xylanase production and urea increased xylanase activity slightly.     

Degradation of wood and enzyme production by Ceriporiopsis subvermispora

The degradation of the components of Japanese beech and Japanese cedar wood was measured over time in cultures of the white-rot fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora. Although there was no initial degradation of cedar wood, after 12 weeks the mass loss of both cedar and beech wood was 15–20%. The mass losses of filter paper in beech wood-containing cultures and glucose cultures after 12 weeks were 87% and 70%, respectively. The ratio of lignin loss to mass loss of both beech and cedar wood cultures approached 2.0. Although the cellulose loss in cedar wood was very low throughout the 12-week incubation, C. subvermispora degraded the hemicellulose in Japanese cedar much more effectively than that in Japanese beech. These results confirm that C. subvermispora is a selective lignin degrader. During the 12-week incubation with Japanese beech wood, C. subvermispora continuously produced at least one of three phenol oxidases: laccase was produced initially, followed by Mn-independent peroxidase activity peaking at 6 weeks and Mn-dependent peroxidase activity peaking at 10 weeks. Lignin peroxidase and carboxymethylcellulase activities peaked after 3 weeks of incubation. Avicelase activity was present throughout the incubation period, although the activity was very low. The low-molecular-mass fraction of the extracellular medium, which catalyzes a redox reaction between O₂ and electron donors to produce hydroxyl radical, may act synergistically with the enzymes to degrade wood cell walls.     

碳源和氮源对黑盖木层孔菌菌丝生长的影响

研究了四种碳源(蔗糖、乳糖、葡萄糖、可溶性淀粉)和九种氮源(玉米面、麸皮、马铃薯、大豆粉、酵母粉、蛋白胨、硝酸钾、硝酸铵、尿素)对黑盖木层孔菌菌丝生长的影响。从不同代数的菌丝体中提取多糖,并测定多糖含量、分子量分布范围及单糖组成。结果表明:黑盖木层孔菌菌丝生长的最佳碳源为可溶性淀粉,最佳氮源为玉米面,最优碳氮组合为蔗糖和玉米面的组合。不同代数的菌丝体多糖性状基本稳定。     

Degradation of toxaphene by Bjerkandera sp. strain BOL13 using waste biomass as a cosubstrate

The white-rot fungus Bjerkandera sp. strain BOL13 was capable of degrading toxaphene when supplied with wood chips, wheat husk or cane molasses as cosubstrates in batch culture experiments. Approximately 85% of toxaphene was removed when wheat husk was the main substrate. The production of lignin peroxidase was only stimulated when wheat husk was present in the liquid medium. Although xylanase was always detected, wheat husk supported the highest xylanase production. A negligible amount of β-glucosidase and cellulase were found in the batch culture medium. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of toxaphene degradation by white-rot fungi.     

GROWTH OF PHELLINUS (PORIA) WEIRII ON DIFFERENT VITAMINS AND CARBON AND NITROGEN SOURCES

Mycelial growth of Phellinus weirii (Murr.) Gilb., a root pathogen of conifers in the Pacific Northwest, was studied in defined liquid media with different carbon and nitrogen sources and vitamins. The fungus grew significantly more on glucose, xylose, maltose, or fructose than on other carbon sources. Starch did not support growth. Maximum growth occurred in 4 weeks on all carbon sources except dextrin and sucrose, with which maximum growth occurred in 3 weeks. Of the nitrogen sources, peptone supported the best growth of the fungus; glutamic acid, serine, aspartic acid, alanine, leucine, ammonium sulphate, and urea supported significantly better growth than tyrosine, arginine, methionine, threonine, and glycine. Potassium nitrate, phenylalanine, sodium nitrate, lysine, proline, and cysteine inhibited growth. Thiamine hydrochloride was not absolutely required for growth of P. weirii, but better growth was obtained with its addition. The fungus showed no significant responses to a range of other vitamins.     

Temporal Alterations in the Secretome of the Selective Ligninolytic Fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora during Growth on Aspen Wood Reveal This Organism's Strategy for Degrading Lignocellulose

The white-rot basidiomycetes efficiently degrade all wood cell wall polymers. Generally, these fungi simultaneously degrade cellulose and lignin, but certain organisms, such as Ceriporiopsis subvermispora, selectively remove lignin in advance of cellulose degradation. However, relatively little is known about the mechanism of selective ligninolysis. To address this issue, C. subvermispora was grown in liquid medium containing ball-milled aspen, and nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to identify and estimate extracellular protein abundance over time. Several manganese peroxidases and an aryl alcohol oxidase, both associated with lignin degradation, were identified after 3 days of incubation. A glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 51 arabinofuranosidase was also identified after 3 days but then successively decreased in later samples. Several enzymes related to cellulose and xylan degradation, such as GH10 endoxylanase, GH5_5 endoglucanase, and GH7 cellobiohydrolase, were detected after 5 days. Peptides corresponding to potential cellulose-degrading enzymes GH12, GH45, lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase, and cellobiose dehydrogenase were most abundant after 7 days. This sequential production of enzymes provides a mechanism consistent with selective ligninolysis by C. subvermispora.     

不同碳氮源对花脸香蘑胞外酶活性的影响

以花脸香蘑Lepista sordida为材料,研究其分别在9种碳源和11种氮源液体培养条件下不同阶段pH值和葡萄糖浓度的变化,以及不同碳氮源对其所分泌的木质素过氧化物酶、羧甲基纤维素酶、锰过氧化物酶和漆酶活性的影响。结果表明,pH值在不同碳源培养后期变化显著（P<0.05）,而在不同氮源培养阶段无明显变化（P>0.05）,葡萄糖浓度和菌丝量在不同碳氮源中也无显著差异（P<0.05）。不同碳源和氮源培养基对花脸香蘑木质素过氧化物酶、羧甲基纤维素酶、锰过氧化物酶和漆酶活性均具有影响（P<0.05）。木糖和米糠有利于花脸香蘑分泌羧甲基纤维素酶（P<0.05）,红糖和牛肉浸膏有利于其分泌漆酶（P<0.05）,白砂糖和豆粉有利于其分泌锰过氧化物酶（P<0.05）,木糖和尿素有利于其分泌木质素过氧化物酶（P<0.05）。本研究为选择合适培养基以提高花脸香蘑生物转化效率提供了理论基础。     

Effects of Nitrogen Sources on Cellulose and Synthetic Lignin Degradation by Phanerochaete chrysosporium

Phanerochaete chrysosporium degraded cellulose faster with organic nitrogen sources than with NH₄Cl. Simple and complex nitrogen sources added at the time of inoculation to N-limited cultures of P. chrysosporium, with glucose as carbon/energy source, transiently stimulated degradation of synthetic [¹⁴C]lignin to ¹⁴CO₂. The same nitrogen sources added 5 days after inoculation, when the cultures were entering secondary metabolism, delayed ¹⁴CO₂ production. The various N sources affected synthetic lignin degradation in defined medium differently than lignin degradation in aspen wood.     

Extracellular Enzyme Production and Synthetic Lignin Mineralization by Ceriporiopsis subvermispora

The ability of the white rot fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora to mineralize ¹⁴C-synthetic lignin was studied under different culture conditions, and the levels of two extracellular enzymes were monitored. The highest mineralization rates (28% after 28 days) were obtained in cultures containing a growth-limiting amount of nitrogen source (1.0 mM ammonium tartrate); under this condition, the levels of manganese peroxidase (MnP) and laccase present in the culture supernatant solutions were very low compared with cultures containing 10 mM of the nitrogen source. In contrast, cultures containing a limiting concentration of the carbon source (0.1% glucose) showed low levels of both enzymes and also very low mineralization rates compared with cultures containing 1% glucose. Cultures containing 11 ppm of Mn(II) showed a higher rate of mineralization than those containing 0.3 or 40 ppm of this cation. Levels of MnP and laccase were higher when 40 ppm of Mn(II) was used. Mineralization rates were slightly higher in cultures flushed daily with oxygen, whereas laccase levels were lower and MnP levels were approximately the same as in cultures maintained under an air atmosphere. The presence of 0.4 mM veratryl alcohol reduced both mineralization rates and MnP levels, without affecting laccase levels. Lignin peroxidase activity was not detected under any condition. Addition of purified lignin peroxidase to the cultures in the presence or absence of veratryl alcohol did not enhance mineralization rates significantly.     

粗毛栓菌胞外锰过氧化物酶的纯化及性质

培养于麦草粉上的白腐担子菌粗毛栓菌分泌胞外木质纤维素降解酶(纤维素酶、木聚糖酶、漆酶、锰过氧化物酶和木质素过氧化物酶)。经过超滤、盐析、离子交换层析、凝胶过滤和活性聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳等步骤,获得了初步纯化的锰过氧化物酶组分。利用变性聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳和等电点聚焦技术所测定的锰过氧化物酶的相对分子质量和等电点分别为35.7 ku和pI 2.8。研究结果表明,所纯化的锰过氧化物酶在407nm处具有最大光吸收峰,该酶最适作用pH值和温度分别为pH 5.3和35℃。     

Is an organic nitrogen source needed for cellulase production by Trichoderma reesei Rut-C30?

The effect of organic and inorganic nitrogen sources on Trichoderma reesei Rut-C30 cellulase production was investigated in submerged cultivations. Stirred tank bioreactors and shake flasks, with and without pH control, respectively, were employed. The experimental design involved the addition of individual organic nitrogen sources (soy peptone, glutamate, glycine and alanine) within a basal medium containing Avicel (i.e. micro crystalline cellulose) and ammonium sulphate. It was found that in the shake flask experiments, the highest cellulase activities (~0.1 ± 0.02 FPU ml^?1) were obtained with media containing soy peptone (3–6 g l^?1) and glutamate (3.6 g l^?1). However, these improvements in the cellulase titers in the presence of the organic nitrogen sources appeared to be related to smaller changes in the pH of the medium. This was confirmed using stirred tank bioreactors with pH control. No significant differences were observed in the highest cellulase titers and the protein pattern (according to the SDS-PAGE) of supernatants from pH controlled stirred tank bioreactor cultivations, when different nitrogen sources were used in the medium. Here the cellulase activities (~1.0 ± 0.2 FPU ml^?1) were also much greater (8–150 times) than in shake flask cultivation. Consequently, the addition of ammonium sulphate as sole nitrogen source to Avicel basal medium is recommended when performing cultivations in stirred tank bioreactors with strict pH controlled conditions.     

Nutritional constraints on displacement of Fusarium pseudograminearum from cereal straw by antagonists

Displacement of the fungus Fusarium pseudograminearum from stubble by antagonists is a potential means of biocontrol of crown rot in cereals. The role of carbon and nitrogen nutrition in interactions between the pathogen and the antagonists Fusarium equiseti, Fusarium nygamai, Trichoderma harzianum and the non-antagonistic straw fungus Alternaria infectoria was investigated. Sole carbon source utilization patterns on Biolog plates were similar among the three Fusarium species, suggesting a possible role for competition. However, carbon niche overlap was unlikely to be important in antagonism by T. harzianum. Straw medium supplemented with sugars generally reduced the inhibitory effect of antagonists on growth of F. pseudograminearum in dual culture, indicating that availability of simple carbon sources does not limit antagonism. Adding nitrogen as urea, nitrate or ammonium to straw medium had little effect on antagonism by F. equiseti and F. nygamai, but ammonium addition removed the inhibitory effect of T. harzianum on growth of F. pseudograminearum. Displacement of F. pseudograminearum from straw by all fungi in a Petri dish assay was greater when urea or nitrate was used as a nitrogen source than with ammonium. All forms of nitrogen significantly increased displacement of F. pseudograminearum from straw under simulated field conditions when straws were either inoculated with T. harzianum or exposed to resident soil microbes. However, in 2 out of 3 experiments urea and nitrate were more effective than ammonium. The results suggest that availability of nitrogen, but not carbon, is limiting the activities of antagonists of F. pseudograminearum in straw, and the way nitrogen is applied can influence the rate of displacement and mortality of the pathogen in host residues.     

Simplified feeding strategies for the fed-batch cultivation of Kluyveromyces lactis GG799 for enhanced recombinant xylanase production

A xylanase gene (xyn2) from Trichoderma reesei ATCC 58350 was previously cloned and expressed in Kluyveromyces lactis GG799. The production of the recombinant xylanase was conducted in a developed medium with an optimised batch and with fed-batches that were processed with glucose. The glucose served as a carbon source for cell growth and as an inducer for xylanase production. In a 1-L batch system, a glucose concentration of 20 g L^?1 and 80 % dissolved oxygen were found to provide the best conditions for the tested ranges. A xylanase activity of 75.53 U mL^?1 was obtained. However, in the batch mode, glucose depletions reduced the synthesis of recombinant xylanase by K. lactis GG799. To maximise the production of xylanase, further optimisation was performed using exponential feeding. We investigated the effects of various nitrogen sources combined with the carbon to nitrogen (C/N) molar ratio on the production of xylanase. Of the various nitrogen sources, yeast extract was found to be the most useful for recombinant xylanase production. The highest xylanase production (110.13 U mL^?1) was measured at a C/N ratio of 50.08. These conditions led to a 45.8 % increase in xylanase activity compared with the batch cultures. Interestingly, the further addition of 500 g L^?1 glucose led to a 6.2-fold increase (465.07 U mL^?1) in recombinant xylanase activity. These findings, together with those of the exponential feeding strategy, indicate that the composition of the C/N molar ratio has a substantial impact on recombinant protein production in K. lactis.     

Linoleic acid peroxidation and lignin degradation by enzymes produced by Ceriporiopsis subvermispora grown on wood or in submerged liquid cultures

Ceriporiopsis subvermispora is a white-rot fungus used in biopulping processes and seems to use the fatty acid peroxidation reactions initiated by manganese-peroxidase (MnP) to start lignin degradation. The present work shows that C. subvermispora was able to peroxidize unsaturated fatty acids during wood biotreatment under biopulping conditions. In vitro assays showed that the extent of linoleic acid peroxidation was positively correlated with the level of MnP recovered from the biotreated wood chips. Milled wood was treated in vitro by partially purified MnP and linoleic acid. UV spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) showed that soluble compounds similar to lignin were released from the milled wood. SEC data showed a broad elution profile compatible with low molar mass lignin fractions. MnP-treated milled wood was analyzed by thioacidolysis. The yield of thioacidolysis monomers recovered from guaiacyl and syringyl units decreased by 33% and 20% in MnP-treated milled wood, respectively. This has suggested that lignin depolymerization reactions have occurred during the MnP/linoleic acid treatment.     

不同碳源和氮源对金针菇降解木质纤维素酶活性的影响

以3株栽培的金针菇Flammulina velutipes为材料,研究它们在玉米芯和棉子壳以及不同碳源、氮源培养条件下纤维素、半纤维素和木质素降解酶活性的规律。结果表明,不同金针菇菌株的羧甲基纤维素酶、木聚糖酶和漆酶活力显著不同（P<0.001）,同时,培养条件对羧甲基纤维素酶、木聚糖酶和漆酶的活力都有显著影响（P<0.001）。在简单碳源存在的条件下,金针菇的羧甲基纤维素酶和木聚糖酶活力远远低于复杂碳源培养基（P<0.05）。全营养培养基上生长的金针菇的羧甲基纤维素酶和木聚糖酶活力低于缺乏碳源和氮源的培养基（P<0.05）。漆酶活力在无简单氮源培养基上低于全培养基（P<0.05）和无葡萄糖培养基（P<0.05）,即复杂碳源和氮源培养基上的漆酶活力低于简单碳源和氮源培养基（P<0.05）。
