l-Threonine production by strain BB-69, which was derived from Brevibacterium flavum No. 2247 as a α-amino-β-hydroxyvaleric acid resistant mutant and produced about 12 g/liter of l-threonine, was reduced by the addition of l-lysine or l-methionine in the culture medium. Many of lysine auxotrophs but not methionine auxotrophs derived from strain B–2, which produced about 7 g/liter of l-threonine, produced more l-threonine than the parental strain. Except only one methionine auxotroph (BBM–21), none of lysine and methionine auxotrophs derived from BB–69 produced more l-threonine than the parental strain. Homoserine dehydrogenase of crude extract from strain B–2 was inhibited by l-threonine more strongly than that from BB–69. Strain BBM–21, a methionine auxotroph derived from BB–69, produced about 18 g/liter of l-threonine, 50% more than BB–69, while accumulation of homoserine decreased remarkably as compared with BB–69. l-Threonine production by BBM–21 was increased by the addition of l-homoserine, a precursor of l-threonine, while that by BB–69 was not. No difference was found among BBM–21, BB–69 and No. 2247 in the degree of inhibition of homoserine kinase by l-threonine. l-Threonine production by revertants of BBM–21, that is, mutants which could grow without methionine, were all lower than that of BBM–21. Correlation between l-threonine production and methionine or lysine auxotrophy was discussed.  相似文献

l-Threonine producing α-amino-β-hydroxyvaleric acid resistant mutants were derived from E. coli K-12 with 3 x 10-5 frequency. One of mutants, strain β-101, accummulated maximum amount of l-threonine (1. 9 g/liter) in medium. Among isoleucine, methionine and lysine auxotrophs derived from E. coli K-12, only methionine auxotrophs produced l-threonine. In contrast, among isoleucine, methionine and lysine auxotrophs derived from β-101, l-threonine accumulation was generally enhanced in isoleucine auxotrophs. One of isoleucine auxotrophs, strain βI-67, produced maximum amount of l-threonine (4. 7 g/liter). Methionine auxotroph, βM-7, derived from β-101 produced 3.8 g/liter, and βIM-4, methionine auxotroph derived from β1-67, produced 6.1 g/liter, when it was cultured in 3% glucose medium supplemented with 100 μg/ml of l-isoleucine and l-methionine, respectively. These l-threonine productivities of E. coli mutants were discussed with respect to the regulatory mechanisms of threonine biosynthesis. A favourable fermentation medium for l-threonine production by E. coli mutants was established by using strain βM-4.  相似文献

The growth of Brevibacterium flavum No. 2247 was inhibited over 90% at a concentration above 1 mg/ml of α-amino-β-hydroxyvaleric acid, a threonine analogue, and the inhibition was reversed by the addition of l-threonine, and to lesser extent by l-leucine, l-isoleucine, l-valine and l-homoserine. l-Methionine stimulated the inhibition. Several mutants resistant to the analogue produced l-threonine in the growing cultures. The percentage of l-threonine producer in the resistant mutants depended on the concentration of the analogue, to which they were resistant. The best producer, strain B-183, was isolated from resistant strains selected on a medium containing 5 mg/ml of the analogue. Mutants resistant to 8 mg/ml of the analogue was derived from strain B-183 by the treatment with mutagen, N-methyl-N’-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. Among the mutants obtained, strain BB-82 produced 13.5 g/liter of l-threonine, 30% more than did the parental strain. Among the resistant mutants obtained from Corynebacterium acetoacidophilum No. 410, strain C-553 produced 6.1 g/liter of l-threonine. Several amino acids other than l-threonine were also accumulated, and these accumulations of amino acids were discussed from the view of regulation mechanism of l-threonine biosynthesis.  相似文献

Fifteen strains of bacteria were treated with ultraviolet light or N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine to derive auxotrophic mutants, which were screened for their ability to produce l-threonine. A number of auxotrophs were derived from each strain. Among them, those which produced a large amount of l-threonine were found in Aerobacter aerogenes, Serratia marcescens and Escherichia coli, the members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Nutritional requirements of these threonine producers were proved to be methionine, lysine, or α, ε-diaminopimelic acid (DAP).

In A. aerogenes and E. coli, double and triple auxotrophs were derived with futher mutational treatment. As a, rule, imposition of additional block led to the increase of l-threonine production. In E. coli, many triple auxotrophs (DAP?, Met?, He?) and their isoleucine revertants were screened for their ability to produce l-threonine. Enhancement of l-threonine production was achieved with these mutants.

One of the isoleucine revertants, KY8280, was used to investigate some cultural conditions. As a result, l-threonine accumulation reached to a level of 13.8 mg/ml with the medium containing 7.5% fructose.  相似文献

We previously constructed an l-threonine-producing strain of E. coli W, KY8280, which is an Ile+ revertant of KY8279 which requires l-methionine, a,£-diaminopimelic acid and l-isoleucine [H. Kase et al., Agric. Biol. Chem., 35, 2089 (1971)]. From KY8280, another l-threonine-hyperproducing strain, KY8366, was obtained as an α-amino-β-hydroxy valeric acid (AHV, a threonine analog)-resistant mutant. Enzymatic analysis revealed that KY8280 constitutively expressed 8-fold higher l-threonine-sensitive aspartokinase I activity than KY8279. In addition, KY8366 constitutively expressed 13-fold higher l-lysine-sensitive aspartokinase III activity than KY8280. Such elevated levels of aspartokinases may contribute to the hyperproduction of l-threonine by these mutant strains. KY8366 produced 28 mg/ml of l-threonine in a culture medium fed with 12% glucose.  相似文献

An isoleucine leaky auxotroph of Arthrobacter paraffineus, which was isolated by Takayama et al.3) as a mutant producing L-threonine and L-valine from n-paraffin, was subjected to further mutagenesis in an attempt to obtain better L-threonine producers. Some of the double auxotrophs derived from the isoleucine auxotroph and some of their revertants with respect to isoleucine requirement produced more L-threonine than the original isoleucine auxotroph. In contrast to the original isoleucine auxotroph, a revertant derived from a methionine plus isoleucine double auxotroph, KY7135, produced an increased amount of L-threonine and a decreased amount of L-valine. The optimum level of L-methionine for L-threonine production in KY7135 was much higher (1000 ~ 2000 μg/ml) with n-paraffin medium than with sorbitol or mannitol medium (10 ~ 50 μg/ml). L-Threonine production reached a maximum level (11.5 mg/ml) in 7 days incubation with the medium containing 10% n-paraffin (C12 ~ C14 rich). Several mutants which produce L-threonine more than 12 mg/ml were obtained from KY 7135 by monocolony isolation procedure.  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

Homoserine dehydrogenases and aspartokinases in l-threonine- or l-threonine and l-lysine-producing mutants derived from Corynebacterium glutamicum KY 9159 (Met?) were studied with respect to the sensitivity to the inhibition by end products, l-threonine and l-lysine. The activities of homoserine dehydrogenases in the mutants which produced l-threonine or l-threonine and l-lysine were slightly less susceptible to the inhibition by l-threonine than the activity in the parent strain, KY 9159. The aspartokinases in the threonine-producing mutants, KY 10484 and KY 10230, which were resistant to α-amino-β-hydroxylvaleric acid (AHV, a threonine analog) and more sensitive to thialysine (a lysine analog) than the parent, were sensitive to the concerted feedback inhibition by l-lysine and l-threonine by about the same degree as KY 9159. The aspartokinase in an AHV- and thialysine-resistant mutant, KY 10440, which was derived from KY 10484 and produced about 14 mg/ml of l-threonine in a medium containing 10% glucose was less susceptible to the concerted feedback inhibition than KY 10484 or KY 9159, although the activity was still under the feedback control. In the parent strain, l-threonine activated aspartokinase activity in the absence of ammonium sulfate, an activator of the enzyme, but partially inhibited the activity in the presence of the salt. On the other hand, the enzyme of KY 10440 was activated by l-threonine either in the presence or in the absence of the salt. In another AHV- and thialysine-resistant mutant, KY 10251, which was derived from KY 10230 and produced both 9 mg/ml of l-threonine and 5/5 mg/ml of l-lysine, l-threonine and l-lysine simultaneously added hardly inhibited the activity of aspartokinase.

Implications of these results are discussed in relation to l-threonine or l-lysine production, AHV or thialysine resistance and regulation of l-threonine biosynthesis in these mutants.  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

Effect of oxygen tension on l-lysine, l-threonine and l-isoleucine accumulation was investigated. Sufficient supply of oxygen to satisfy the cell’s oxygen demand was essential for the maximum production in each fermentation. The dissolved oxygen level must be controlled at greater than 0.01 atm in every fermentation, and the optimum redox potentials of culture media were above ?170 mV in l-lysine and l-threonine and above ?180 mV in l-isoleucine fermentations. The maximum concentrations of the products were 45.5 mg/ml for l-lysine, 10.3 mg/ml for l-threonine and 15.1 mg/ml for l-isoleucine. The degree of the inhibition due to oxygen limitation was slight in the fermentative production of l-lysine, l-threonine and l-isoleucine, whose biosynthesis is initiated with l-aspartic acid, in contrast to the accumulation of l-proline, l-glutamine and l-arginine, which is biosynthesized by way of l-glutamic acid.  相似文献

The regulatory mechanisms in branched-chain amino acid synthesis were compared between 2-thiazolealanine (2-TA) resistant l-leucine and l-valine producing mutants and the 2-TA sensitive original strains of Brevibacterium lactofermentum 2256.

In the original strains, sensitive to 2-TA, α-isopropylmalate (IPM) synthetase, the initial enzyme specific for l-leucine synthesis, is sensitive to feedback inhibition and to repression by l-leucine, and α-acetohydroxy acid (AHA) synthetase, the common initial enzyme for synthesis of l-isoleucine, l-valine as well as l-leucine, is sensitive to feedback inhibition by each one of these amino acids, and to repression by them all. In strain No. 218, a typical l-leucine producer resistant to 2-TA, IPM synthetase was found to be markedly desensitized and derepressed, and AHA synthetase remained unaltered. On the contrary, in strain No. 333, l-valine producer resistant to 2-TA, AHA synthetase was found to be desensitized and partially derepressed, and IPM synthetase remained unaltered.

The genetic alteration of these regulatory mechanisms was discussed in connection with the accumulation pattern of amino acids.  相似文献

Biosynthetic threonine deaminase was purified to an apparent homogeneous state from the cell extract of Proteus morganii, with an overall yield of 7.5%. The enzyme had a s020,w of 10.0 S, and the molecular weight was calculated to be approximately, 228,000. The molecular weight of a subunit of the enzyme was estimated to be 58,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. The enzyme seemed to have a tetrameric structure consisting of identical subunits. The enzyme had a marked yellow color with an absorption maximum at 415 nm and contained 2 mol of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate per mol. The threonine deaminase catalyzed the deamination of l-threonine, l-serine, l-cysteine and β-chloro-l-alanine. Km values for l-threonine and l-serine were 3.2 and 7.1 mm, respectively. The enzyme was not activated by AMP, ADP and ATP, but was inhibited by l-isoleucine. The Ki for l-isoleucine was 1.17 mm, and the inhibition was not recovered by l-valine. Treatment with mercuric chloride effectively protected the enzyme from inhibition by l-isoleucine.  相似文献

A thiaisoleucine-resistant mutant, ASAT–372, derived from a threonine producer of Corynebacterium glutamicum, KY 10501, produced 5 mg/ml each of l-isoleucine and l-threonine. l-Isoleucine productivity of ASAT–372 was improved stepwise, with concurrent decrease in threonine production, by successively endowing it with resistivity to such substances as ethionine, 4-azaleucine and α-aminobutyric acid. The mutant strain finally selected, RAM–83, produced 9.7 mg/ml of l-isoleucine with a medium containing 10% (as sugar) molasses.

l-Isoleucine production was significantly affected by the concentration of ammonium sulfate in the fermentation medium. At 4% ammonium sulfate l-isoleucine production was enhanced whereas l-threonine production was suppressed. At 2% ammonium sulfate l-threonine production was stimulated while l-isoleucine production decreased.  相似文献

Syntheses of various γ-glutamylpeptides were examined taking use of the highly purified γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase from Proteus mirabilis. The accumulation of each peptide was measured after long time incubation, and good formation was observed in the synthesis of peptides of following amino acids, l-cysteine, l-α-aminobutyrate, l-serine, l-homoserine, glycine, l-alanine, l-norvaline, l-lysine, l-threonine, taurine and l-valine. Peptide syntheses were confirmed by analyses of the component amino acids, after hydrolysis of the peptides.

The structure of the glutamylpeptides, especially the peptide-linkage at the γ-carbonyl residue of l-glutamate, was determined by mass spectrometry of the N-trifluoroacetyl methylester derivatives of the glutamylpeptides. Enzymatic synthesis of γ-glutamyl-l-α-aminobutyrate was also confirmed by PMR spectrometry in the comparison with chemically synthesized compound.  相似文献

A bacterium that stereospecifically produces l-valine from 5-isopropylhydantoin was isolated + from soil. It was identified as Bacillus brevis and given the number AJ-12299. l-Valine productivity from l-, d- or dl-5-isopropylhydantoin by B. brevis AJ-12299 was rather low because this bacterium had l-valine degrading-activity. In contrast, the productivity was improved by a mutant the l-valine degradation pathway of which was genetically blocked, and the 5-isopropylhydantoin consumed was stoichiometrically converted to l-valine. The optimal temperature and pH of the reaction were 30°C and 7.0~7.5. The enzyme involved in the reaction was inducible and was strongly induced by the addition of 5-isopropylhydantoin. In addition to l-valine production, this bacterium also produced various aliphatic and aromatic l-amino acids from the corresponding 5-substituted hydantoins.  相似文献

Growth of Brevibacterium flavum FA-1-30 and FA-3-115, L-lysine producers derived from Br. flavum No. 2247 as S-(2-aminoethyl)-L-cysteine (AEC) resistant mutants, was inhibited by α-amino-β-hydroxyvaleric acid (AHV), and this inhibition was reversed by L-threonine. All the tested AHV resistant mutants derived from FA-1-30 accumulated more than 4 g/liter of L-threonine in media containing 10% glucose, and the best producer, FAB-44, selected on a medium containing 5 mg/ml of AHV produced about 15 g/liter of L-threonine. Many of AHV resistant mutants selected on a medium containing 2 mg/ml of AHV accumulated L-lysine as well as L-threonine, AHV resistant mutants derived from FA-3-115 produced 10.7 g/liter of L-threonine maximally. AEC resistant mutants derived from strains BB–82 and BB–69, which were L-threonine producers derived from Br. flavum No. 2247 as AHV resistant mutants, did not produce L-threonine more than the parental strains, and moreover, many of them did not accumulate L-threonine but L-lysine. Homoserine dehydrogenases of crude extracts from L-threonine producing AHV resistant mutants derived from FA–1–30 and FA–3–115 were insensitive to the inhibition by L-threonine, and those of L-threonine and L-lysine producing AHV resistant mutants from FA–1–30 were partially sensitive.

Correlation between L-threonine or L-lysine production and regulations of enzymatic activities of the mutants was discussed.  相似文献

The growth of Brevibacterium flavum No. 2247A was inhibited by α-amino-β-hydroxy-valeric acid (AHV), and the inhibition was partially reversed by L-isoleucine.

AHV resistant strain ARI-129, which was isolated on a medium supplemented with 2 mg/ml of AHV, produced 11 g/liter of L-isoleucine.

No difference was observed in threonine dehydratase between No. 2247A and ARI–129. Homoserine dehydrogenase from ARI–129 was insensitive to the feedback inhibition by L-isoleucine and L-threonine.

O-Methyl-L-threonine resistant mutant, strain AORI–126, which was derived from ARI–129, produced 14.5 g/liter of L-isoleucine. Specific activity of threonine dehydratase from AORI–126 increased about two-fold higher than those from No. 2247A and ARI–129, whereas degree of inhibition of the enzyme by L-isoleucine was the same among three strains.

Among auxotrophic mutants derived from ARI–129, adenine and lysine auxotrophs produced more L-isoleucine than the parent did.

In the adenine auxotroph, L-isoleucine production was markedly reduced by the addition of excess adenine.  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

The excellent l-leucine producing mutant No. 218, derived from a biotin requiring glutamic acid producing strain, is methionine and isoleucine auxotrophic. A suboptimum growth condition made by adding a limiting amount of isoleucine was necessary for the maximum production of l-leucine. On the other hand, methionine was indifferent to the productivity if sufficiently supplied for growth.

Biotin of more than 50 μg/liter caused the accumulation of l-leucine; less than 50 μg/liter, however, gave a drastic change in accumulation pattern from l-leucine to l-glutamic acid. Strain No. 218 produced 28 mg/ml of l-leucine after 72 hr cultivation when 13 % glucose was supplied as a carbon source, thus giving the yield of 21.6%.

Effects on l-leucine production of concentrations of inorganic salts, pH, temperature and aeration were also investigated.  相似文献

The l-aminoacylase produced intracellularly by Alcaligenes denitrificans DA181 was puritied to homogeneity. This enzyme had an apparent molecular weight of 80,000, and was composed of two subunits of identical molecular weight. Its isoelectric point was pH 5.1. The optimal reaction temperature and pH were 65°C and 8.0, respectively. This enzyme showed specificity toward N-acetyl-derivative of hydrophobic l-amino acids with N-acetyl-l-valine as the favored substrate, followed by N-acetyl-l-alanine.  相似文献
