The present investigation is concerned with l-glutamic acid production in the presence of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid and glucose in Bacillus megaterium st. 6126. This strain does not grow on dl-pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (dl-PCA)1) as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen. The optimal concentration of yeast extract required for the maximal production of l-glutamic acid was 0.005% under the conditions used. As the yeast extract concentration was increased, growth increased proportionally; but the l-glutamic acid production did not exceed the control’s to which glucose and ammonium chloride had been added. l-Glutamic acid produced by both growing cultures and resting cells was derived from glucose and ammonium salt of dl-PCA. Isotope experiments suggested that the l-glutamic acid produced was partially derived from ammonium salt of dl-PCA in the growing culture which had been supplemented with d-glucose-U-14C or dl-PCA-1-14C and that ammonium salt of dl-PCA was consumed as the source of nitrogen and carbon for l-glutamic acid. 相似文献

Crystalline tyrosine phenol lyase was prepared from the cell extract of Erwinia herbicola grown in a medium supplemented with l-tyrosine. The crystalline enzyme was homogeneous by the criteria of ultracentrifugation and acrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight was determined to be approximately 259,000. The crystalline enzyme catalyzed the conversion of l-tyrosine into phenol, pyruvate and ammonia, in the presence of added pyridoxal phosphate. The enzyme also catalyzed pyruvate formation from d-tyrosine, S-methyl-l-cysteine, 3, 4-dihydroxyphenyl-l-alanine, l- and d-serine, and l- and d-cysteine, but at lower rates than from l-tyrosine. l-Phenyl-alanine, l-alanine, phenol and pyrocatechol inhibited pyruvate formation from l-tyrosine.Crystalline tyrosine phenol lyase from Erwinia herbicola is inactive in the absence of added pyridoxal phosphate. Binding of pyridoxal phosphate to the apoenzyme is accompanied by pronounced increase in absorbance at 340 and 425 mμ. The amount of pyridoxal phosphate bound to the apoenzyme was determined by equilibrium dialysis to be 2 moles per mole of enzyme. Addition of the substrate, l-tyrosine, or the competitive inhibitors, l-alanine and l-phenyl-alanine, to the holoenzyme causes appearance of a new absorption peak near 500 mμ which disappears as the substrate is decomposed but remains unchanged in the presence of the inhibitor. 相似文献

d-Xylose isomerase requires manganese ions for its action, but l-arabinose isomerase has a less specific on metal requirement. l-Arabinose isomerase is activated by addition of Mn++ or Co++, less effectively by addition of Zn++, Ca++, Mg++, Sr++ or Cd++. Moreover, manganese and potassium ions for d-xylose isomerase, and manganese and cobaltous ions for l-arabinose isomerase were also shown to have protective effect on respective enzymes against thermal inactivation. 相似文献

3-Methylthiopropylamine (MTPA) formation from l-methionine in Streptomyces sp. K37 was studied in detail. The reaction was confirmed to be catalyzed by the decarboxylase of l-methionine. The properties of the enzyme were studied in detail using acetone dried cells or cell-free extract. The enzyme was specific for l-methionine. Pyridoxal phosphate stimulated the reaction and protected the enzyme against heat inactivation. The optimum pH for the reaction was 6.0~8.0 and the optimum temperature was about 40°C. Carbonyl reagents (10?2~10?3 m) inhibited the reaction completely, and silver nitrate and mercuric chloride (10?3~10?4 m) markedly inhibited the reaction. Km value for the reaction was 1.21 × 10?5 m. l-Methionine assay using the decarboxylase was attempted and was found to be applicable to practical use. 相似文献

An inducible tryptophanase was crystallized from the cell extract of Proteus rettgeri grown in a medium containing l-tryptophan. The purification procedure included ammonium sulfate fractionation, heat treatment, DEAE-Sephadex and hydroxylapatite column chromatographies. Crystals were obtained from solutions of the purified enzyme by the addition of ammonium sulfate.The crystalline enzyme preparation was homogeneous by the criteria of ultracentrifugation and zone electrophoresis. The molecular weight was determined to be approximately 210,000.The crystalline enzyme catalyzed the degradation of l-tryptophan into indole, pyruvate and ammonia in the presence of added pyridoxal phosphate. The enzyme also catalyzed pyruvate formation from 5-hydroxy-l-tryptophan, 5-methyl-l-tryptophan, S-methyl-l-cysteine and l- cysteine. l-, d-Alanine, l-phenylalanine and indole inhibited pyruvate formation from these substrates. 相似文献

A large amount of O-acetyl-l-homoserine (OAH) was found to be produced by trifluo-romethionine-resistant mutants derived from Corynebacterium glutamicum ESLR–146 (Thr?,ethionineR, selenomethionineR) and ETzR–606(Thr?,ethionineR, 1,2,4-triazoleR) by mutational treatment with ethyl methanesulfonate. Some cultural conditions for OAH production were examined with one of the mutants, ESLFR-736, which was derived from ESLR–146. Addition of l-methionine or l-serine decreased OAH production. Optimal level of l-threo- nine, a growth factor in ESLFR–736, for OAH production was about 200 μg/ml, and further addition of excess l-threonine repressed OAH production. Corn steep liquor (CSL) and yeast extract added simultaneously enhanced OAH production to a great extent. Thus, the amount of OAH production reached to a level of 10.5 mg/ml with a medium containing 10% glucose and 0.01 % of both CSL and yeast extract after 2 days incubation.Cell-free extract of C. glutamicum catalyzed the formation of OAH from acetyl CoA and l-homoserine, while a corresponding reaction with succinyl CoA was hardly detected. These observations indicate that OAH but not O-succinyl-l-homoserine is an intermediate of l-methionine biosynthesis in C. glutamicum.The regulation of homoserine-O-transacetylase was examined in a methionine requiring mutant of C. glutamicum. The enzyme activity was not inhibited by l-methionine, S-adenosyl-methionine and S-adenosylhomocysteine, separately or in combination. The synthesis of homoserine-O-transacetylase was strongly repressed by l-methionine. The enzyme level in an OAH producer, ESLFR–736, increased to about 2-fold of that in ESLR–146, the parental strain. 相似文献

1. Several bacteria were isolated from soil which grew on both d- and l-aminolactam and whose cells had an activity to racemize them. They were identified as Achromobacter obae nov. sp., Achr. cycloclastes, Alcaligenes faecalis and Flavobacterium arborescens.2. Racemization of d- and l-aminolactam was investigated using the lyophilized cells of Achr. obae nov. sp. The optimum pH value of the reaction was about 8.0. The racemizing activity was completely inhibited by 10?4 m hydroxylamine, and the inhibition was removed by 10?4 m pyridoxal phosphate. Five percent d- and l-aminolactam solutions were completely racemized with a concomitant slight formation of l-lysine. 相似文献

7-Keto-8-aminopelargonic acid synthetase (KAPA synthetase) which catalyzes the formation of KAPA from pimelyl CoA and l-alanine, and is involved in biotin biosynthesis, was partially purified from a cell-free extract of Bacillus sphaericus by a procedure involving ammonium sulfate fraction ation, protamine treatment, and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The reaction product was bioautographically confirmed to be KAPA. Some properties of the enzyme were also investigated. Among the amino acids, only l-alanine was active as a substrate, condensing with pimelyl CoA, The reaction required pyridoxal phosphate but the other vitamin B6 compounds were inert. Typical inhibitors of pyridoxal phosphate enzymes showed marked inhibition to the reaction. Various amino acids such as l-cysteine, glycine, d-alanine, l-serine, l-histidine, and d-histidine were also found to be inhibitory. 相似文献

Potent l-valine producers were screened among 2-thiazolealanine resistant mutants derived from three typical l-glutamic acid producing bacteria: Brevibacterium lactofermentum, Corynebacterium acetoacidophilum, Arthrobacter citreus. By strain No. 487, the best producer derived from Brevibacterium, 31 mg/ml of l-valine was produced after 72 hr when 10% glucose was supplied as a carbon source, thus giving the yield of 31% from glucose. Accumulation of the other amino acids was negligible. The addition of l-isoleucine and l-leucine in the culture medium did not reduce the l-valine production, indicating that the l-valine biosynthesis is insensitive to these end products in the l-valine producer. 相似文献

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, which catalyzes the conversion of l-phenylalanine to trans-cinnamic acid and ammonia, has been partially purified from the cells of Rhodotorula. Some of the properties of this phenylalanine ammoyia-lyase were investigated. The enzyme was stable in phosphate buffer of pH over the range of 6.0 to 7.0 On heating, the enzyme was stable up to 50°C, but above 60°C, it was destroyed. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoate at 10?5 m and almost recovered by the addition of glutathione or mercaptoethanol at 10?3 m. The present enzyme preparation of Rhodotorula also catalyzed the deamination of l-tyrosine to trans-p-coumaric acid. trans-p-Coumaric acid was isolated from the reaction mixture and identified by its absorption spectra. The rates of deamination showed optima at pH 9.0 and 9.5 for l-phenylalanine and l-tyrosine, respectively. 相似文献

Properties of 3-deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate-7-phosphate (DAHP) synthetase from Corynebacterium glutamicum were examined using the cell free extract. The optimum pH for the reaction was broad ranging from 5.5 to 7.0 and the optimum temperature was 37°C. Co2+ inhibited the enzyme activity at 20°C, whereas Co2+ apparently stimulated the enzyme activity at 37°C because the ion protected the enzyme from inactivation at 37°C. Co2+ reversed the inhibition of the enzyme activity by EDTA. The activity of DAHP synthetase was feedback inhibited only weakly by l-phenylalanine, l-tyrosine or l-tryptophan alone, but was strongly inhibited synergistically by l-phenylalanine and l-tyrosine. l-Tryptophan enhanced the inhibition by the pair of l-tyrosine and l-phenylalanine. Maximal inhibition was near 90 % in the simultaneous presence of the three amino acids. Sensitivity of the enzyme to the inhibitors was lost during the purification process of the enzyme or during the reaction at 37°C. Especially sensitivity to l-tryptophan was easily lost. Co2+ protected the enzyme from the desensitization. Mutants resistant to p-fluorophenylalanine plus l-tyrosine (or 3-aminotyrosine) had DAHP synthetase which was released from the feedback inhibition by the three amino acids. The formation of the enzyme was not affected by aromatic amino acids. 相似文献

Since l-prolyl diketopiperazines, l-prolyl-l-valine anhydride and l-leucyl-l-proline anhydride, had been isolated from the culture filtrate of Streptomyces sp. S-580, the mechanism of l-prolyl diketopiperazine formation by Streptomyces has been studied. These two l-prolyl diketopiperazines were not formed from their constituent amino acids incubated with intact cell or cell free homogenate of this strain in buffered salt solution containing energy source. However, from milk casein, poly peptone or gelatin, the former two were components of the culture medium of this strain, hydrolyzed with the pure streptomyces-protease, these l-prolyl diketopiperazines were obtained (only from gelatin, glycyl-l-proline anhydride were obtained in addition to these two). Furthermore, in hydrolysis of some synthetic l-prolyl peptides with this enzyme, l-prolyl diketopiperazine formation were also studied, and as the result, glycyl-l-proline anhydride was obtained from glycyl-l-prolyl-l-leucine but no l-prolyl diketopiperazine was formed from l-prolyl-l-leucyl-glycine. From these evidences, the possible route of l-prolyl diketopiperazine formation by Streptomyces has been discussed. 相似文献

l-Fucose (l-galactose) dehydrogenase was isolated to homogeneity from a cell-free extract of Pseudomonas sp. No 1143 and purified about 380-fold with a yield of 23 %. The purification procedures were: treatment with polyethyleneimine, ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatographies on phenyl-Sepharose and DEAE-Sephadex, preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The enzyme had a molecular weight of about 34,000. The optimum pH was at 9 — 10.5 and the isoelectric point was at pH 5.1. l-Fucose and l-galactose were effective substrates for the enzyme reaction, but d-arabinose was not so much. The anomeric requirement of the enzyme to l-fucose was the β-pyranose form, and the reaction product from l-fucose was l-fucono- lactone. The hydrogen acceptor for the enzyme reaction wasNADP+, and NAD + could be substituted for it to a very small degree. Km values were 1.9mm, 19mm, 0.016mm, and 5.6mm for l-fucose, l- galactose, NADP+, and NAD+, respectively. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by Hg2 +, Cd2 +, and PCMB, but metal-chelating reagents had almost no effect. In a preliminary experiment, it was indicated that the enzyme may be usable for the measurement of l-fucose. 相似文献

Mutants resistant to α-amino-β-hydroxyvaleri0c acid (AHV) were derived from various bacteria which belong to Corynebacterium, Brevibacterium, Arthrobacter, Microbacterium, or Bacillus by mutational treatment with N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine(NTG), and screened for their ability to produce l-threonine. A number of l-threonine producers were obtained from each group of bacteria. Among them, the mutants derived from C. glutamicum KY9159(Met?) were further mutagenized with NTG to derive thialysine(S-Lys)-resistant mutants. An AHV-resistant mutant, KY10484 was proved to be much more sensitive to the growth inhibition by thialysine than the parent strain, KY9159. From KY10484, a number of AHV- and thialysine-resistant mutants were derived. Approximately a half of these mutants were found to produce more l-threonine than KY10484. Among these mutants, KY10440 (Met?, AHVR, s-LysR) was used to investigate the cultural conditions for l-threonine production. The growth of KY10440 decreased largely with addition of l-homoserine, a threonine precursor. l-Asparagine, l-cystine, l-glutamine or l-arginine partially reversed the inhibitory effect of l-homoserine. Addition of these amino acids at low level led to increase l-threonine production. The amount of l-threonine accumulation reached to a level of 14mg/ml with a medium containing 10% glucose and to a level of 10 mg/ml with a medium containing 5% molasses (as glucose).Another AHV- and thialysine-resistant mutant, KY10251 which was also derived from KY9159 was found to produce both 9 mg/ml of l-threonine and 5.5 mg/ml of l-lysine in a culture broth. 相似文献

Regulatory properties of chorismate mutase from Corynebacterium glutamicum were studied using the dialyzed cell-free extract. The enzyme activity was strongly feedback inhibited by l-phenylalanine (90% inhibition at 0.1~1 mm) and almost completely by a pair of l-tyrosine and l-phenylalanine (each at 0.1~1 mm). The enzyme from phenylalanine auxotrophs was scarcely inhibited by l-tyrosine alone but the enzyme from a wild-type strain or a tyrosine auxotroph was weakly inhibited by l-tyrosine alone (40~50% inhibition, l-tyrosine at 1 mm). The enzyme activity was stimulated by l-tryptophan and the inhibition by l-phenylalanine alone or in the simultaneous presence of l-tyrosine was reversed by l-tryptophan. The Km value of the reaction for chorismate was 2.9 } 10?3 m. Formation of chorismate mutase was repressed by l-phenylalanine. A phenylalanine auxotrophic l-tyrosine producer, C. glutamicum 98–Tx–71, which is resistant to 3-amino-tyrosine, p-aminophenylanaine, p-fluorophenylalanine and tyrosine hydroxamate had chorismate mutase derepressed to two-fold level of the parent KY 10233. The enzyme in C. glutamicum seems to have two physiological roles; one is the control of the metabolic flow to l-phenylalanine and l-tyrosine biosynthesis and the other is the balanced partition of chorismate between l-phenylalanine-l-tyrosine biosynthesis and l-tryptophan biosynthesis. 相似文献

Comparative studies were made of the polymerization of l-aspartic and l-glutamic acid dialkyl esters using polyethylene glycol–modified papain as a catalyst in phosphate buffer (pH 7.5) and in benzene. Changes in the substrate specificity of papain and in the composition of oligomerized products were observed. In the buffer, the diethyl and di-n-propyl esters of l-glutamic acid were sufficiently converted to high molecular weight oligomers with the accumulation of dimer and trimer, but l-aspartic acid esters were very poor substrates. In benzene, l-aspartic acid esters became more reactive than L-glutamic acid esters. In particular, from l-aspartic acid dimethyl ester the product, which was mainly composed of heptamer to decamer, was obtained in a 90% yield. The reaction in benzene required desalted substrates and a small amount of water to proceed extensively. 相似文献

AbstractA commercial immobilized d-glucose isomerase from Streptomyces murines (Sweetzyme) was used to produce l-rhamnulose from l-rhamnose in a packed-bed reactor. The optimal conditions for l-rhamnulose production from l-rhamnose were determined as pH 8.0, 60?°C, 300?g L?1 l-rhamnose as a substrate, and 0.6?h?1 dilution rate. The half-life of the immobilized enzyme at 60?°C was 809?h. Under the optimal conditions, the immobilized enzyme produced an average of 135?g L?1 l-rhamnulose from 300?g L?1 l-rhamnose after 16 days at pH 8.0, 60?°C, and 0.6?h?1 dilution rate, with a productivity of 81?g/L/h and a conversion yield of 45% in a packed-bed reactor. 相似文献

The formation of aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase in bacteria was studied with intact cells in a reaction mixture containing the aromatic l-amino acids, 3,4-dihydroxy-l-phenyl-alanine, l-tyrosine, l-phenylalanine, l-tryptophan and 5-hydroxy-l-tryptophan. Activity was widely distributed in such genera as Achromobacter, Micrococcus, Staphylococcus and Sarcina. Bacterial strains belonging to the Micrococcaceae showed especially high decarboxylase activity toward l-tryptophan, 5-hydroxy-l-tryptophan and l-phenylalanine. M. percitreus AJ 1065 was selected as a promising source of aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase. Results of experiments with this bacterium showed that the aromatic amine formed from l-tryptophan by the enzymatic method was identical with tryptamine. M. percitreus constitutively produced an enzyme which exhibited decarboxylase activity toward l-tryptophan. However, when large amounts of the aromatic l-amino acids listed above or the tryptamine formed from l-tryptophan were added, enzyme formation was repressed.Cells with high enzyme activity were prepared by cultivating this bacterium at 30°C for 24 hr in a medium containing 0.5% glycerol, 0.5% yeast extract, 0.5% Polypepton, 3.0 vol % soybean protein hydrolyzate, 0.1% KH2PO4, 0.1% MgSO4 · 7H2O, 0.001% FeSO4 · 7H2O and 0.001% MnSO4 · 5H2O in tap water (pH 8.0). 相似文献

Threonine aldolase was found to be formed in various strains of bacteria and yeasts when they were grown in media containing l-threonine as a sole source of carbon. As the other sources of carbon, d, l-allothreonine, l-serine and glycine were effective but glucose and sucrose were inert for the formation of the enzyme.The maximal formation of the enzyme was observed in the initial of stationary phase of growth and, thereafter, the enzyme disappeared with the consumption of l-threonine. It seems that the enzyme is adaptive in nature and that it is responsible for the growth in threonine as the carbon source. 相似文献

l-Menthol was glucosylated by the α-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae using maltose as glucosyl donor. When 50 mg of l-menthol and 1M maltose in 10 mM citrate–phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) were incubated for 24 h at 30°C, a menthylglucoside was selectively obtained as a product. The molar conversion yield based on supplied menthol was 4.5%. The product was identified as l-menthyl α-D-glucopyranoside (α-MenG) by 13C-NMR analysis. 相似文献
