Optimisation of the solvent extraction of phenolic antioxidants from fruits of Euterpe oleracea using Response Surface Methodology

Fruits of Euterpe oleracea (FEO) are currently known as elements that present a very high antioxidant activity (AAO), as measured by the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. They are particularly rich in total phenolics (TP) and total anthocyanins (TA). Response Surface Methodology was used to optimise the solvent extraction of phenolic antioxidants from FEO, using a second-order polynomial equation to describe the experimental data for TP, TA, and AAO. In order to determine the best solid-to-liquid ratio and time of extraction, some preliminary studies were conducted. A rotatable central composite design with three variables (ethanol proportion, hydrochloric acid concentration and temperature) was then used. The results showed a good fit to the proposed model (R² > 0.89). TP and TA, as well as TA and AAO, showed significant correlations (P < 0.05). The optimised conditions that maximized the yields of phenolic compounds (TP and TA) and AAO from FEO were: ethanol proportion between 70% and 80%, hydrochloric acid concentration between 0.065 and 0.074 mol/L and a temperature of 58 °C.

A novel fibrinolytic serine protease from the polychaete Nereis (Neanthes) virens (Sars): purification and characterization

A novel fibrinolytic serine protease has been identified and purified to homogeneity from the coelomic fluid of polychaete Nereis (Neanthes) virens (Sars), and named N-V protease. N-V protease is a 29kDa single chain protein with an isoelectric point of pH 4.5. It hydrolyzes Aalpha-chain of fibrinogen with a high efficiency, and the Bbeta- and gamma-chains (Aalpha>Bbeta>gamma) with a lower efficiency. The proteolytic activity peaks at pH 7.8 is 45 degrees C. The activity is completely inhibited by serine protease inhibitors DFP (I(50)=5.8 x 10(-4)M) and PMSF (I(50)=5.5 x 10(-2)M), and almost completely by TLCK (I(50)=7.7 x 10(-1) M). But aprotinin, elastinal, SBTI, benzamidine, PCMB, EDTA, EGTA, iodoacetate, E64, and beta-mercaptoethanol have no effect on the protease activity. Therefore, N-V protease is identified as a serine protease. The primary amino acid sequence of N-V protease was determined by mass spectrometry (N-V protease, No. P83433). According to the MALDI-TOF MS analysis, there is no existing protein in the NCBI Non-redundant Protein Sequence Database that matches the N-V protease sequence. Therefore, N-V protease is a novel and special protein in N. virens. Furthermore, we have successfully established an expression cDNA library from the whole body of N. virens (data not shown).     

Optimization of Xylanase Production by Thermomyces Lanuginosus in Tomato Seed Meal Using Response Surface Methodology

Summary A 3² central composite experimental design was performed with the aim of optimizing xylanase production by Thermomyces lanuginosus grown on corn cobs in submerged cultures. Xylanase production was first tested on different nitrogen sources (tomato skin, tomato seed meal, corn steep liquor, meat peptone, bacto-tryptone and yeast extract). Tomato seed meal was the selected substrate to test the effect of two variables on xylanase production (corn cobs and tomato seed meal concentrations). A second-order quadratic model and a response surface method showed that the optimum condition for xylanase production was corn cobs 4.6% (w/v) and tomato seed meal 2.1% (w/v). The optimum conditions found were transferred to 7-l bioreactors, where activities as high as 1630 U/ml were obtained.

Hox gene expression in larval development of the polychaetes Nereis virens and Platynereis dumerilii (Annelida, Lophotrochozoa)

The bilaterian animals are divided into three great branches: the Deuterostomia, Ecdysozoa, and Lophotrochozoa. The evolution of developmental mechanisms is less studied in the Lophotrochozoa than in the other two clades. We have studied the expression of Hox genes during larval development of two lophotrochozoans, the polychaete annelids Nereis virens and Platynereis dumerilii. As reported previously, the Hox cluster of N. virens consists of at least 11 genes (de Rosa R, Grenier JK, Andreeva T, Cook CE, Adoutte A, Akam M, Carroll SB, Balavoine G, Nature, 399:772–776, 1999; Andreeva TF, Cook C, Korchagina NM, Akam M, Dondua AK, Ontogenez 32:225–233, 2001); we have also cloned nine Hox genes of P. dumerilii. Hox genes are mainly expressed in the descendants of the 2d blastomere, which form the integument of segments, ventral neural ganglia, pre-pygidial growth zone, and the pygidial lobe. Patterns of expression are similar for orthologous genes of both nereids. In Nereis, Hox2, and Hox3 are activated before the blastopore closure, while Hox1 and Hox4 are activated just after this. Hox5 and Post2 are first active during the metatrochophore stage, and Hox7, Lox4, and Lox2 at the late nectochaete stage only. During larval stages, Hox genes are expressed in staggered domains in the developing segments and pygidial lobe. The pattern of expression of Hox cluster genes suggests their involvement in the vectorial regionalization of the larval body along the antero-posterior axis. Hox gene expression in nereids conforms to the canonical patterns postulated for the two other evolutionary branches of the Bilateria, the Ecdysozoa and the Deuterostomia, thus supporting the evolutionary conservatism of the function of Hox genes in development. Milana Kulakova, Nadezhda Bakalenko and Elena Novikova contributed equally to this work.     

Optimization of polysaccharides (ABP) extraction from the fruiting bodies of Agaricus blazei Murill using response surface methodology (RSM)

Response surface methodoloty (RSM) was used to optimize the extraction conditions of polysaccharides (ABP) from the fruiting body of Agaricus blazei. A central composite design (CCD) was used for experimental design and analysis of the results to obtain the optimal processing parameters. Four independent variables such as extraction temperature (°C), ratio of water to raw material, number of extraction, and extraction time (h) were investigated. The experimental data obtained were fitted to a second-order polynomial equation using multiple regression analysis and also analyzed by appropriate statistical methods. The 3-D response surface plot and the contour plot derived from the mathematical models were applied to determine the optimal conditions. The optimum extraction conditions were as follows: extraction temperature 91 °C, ratio of water to raw material 14, number of extraction 6, and extraction time 2.1 h. Under these conditions, the experimental value was 65.8 ± 1.42, which is well in close agreement with value predicted by the model.

Optimization of Protease Extraction from Horse Mango (Mangifera foetida Lour) Kernels by a Response Surface Methodology

The thermophilic protease aqualysin I (AQI) gene (aqul), derived from Thermus aquaticus YT-I, was inserted under the control of the bacteriophage T7 promoter in an expression plasmid. The plasmid was introduced into two strains of E. coli JMI09 (DE3), one carrying and one lacking an F’ episome, which carries the lacI_q gene. Upon cultivation the strain carrying an F’ episome produced AQI as an insoluble fusion protein (74 kDa) with the T7 gene 10 protein. This insoluble protein could not be processed into mature AQI by heat treatment and thus it had no proteolytic activity. On the other hand, when the strain lacking an F’ episome was used as a host cell for aqul expression, non-induced, or leaky, expression occurred, and AQI was produced in a soluble form. This soluble protein could be processed into active AQI by heat treatment. Moreover, when a low concentration of IPTG (0.0125 mM) was added, the amount of active AQI was 2.7 times greater than that produced in a batch culture without induction.
