Insights into Actinobacillus succinogenes fermentative metabolism in a chemically defined growth medium

Chemically defined media allow for a variety of metabolic studies that are not possible with undefined media. A defined medium, AM3, was created to expand the experimental opportunities for investigating the fermentative metabolism of succinate-producing Actinobacillus succinogenes. AM3 is a phosphate-buffered medium containing vitamins, minerals, NH4Cl as the main nitrogen source, and glutamate, cysteine, and methionine as required amino acids. A. succinogenes growth trends and end product distributions in AM3 and rich medium fermentations were compared. The effects of NaHCO3 concentration in AM3 on end product distribution, growth rate, and metabolic rates were also examined. The A. succinogenes growth rate was 1.3 to 1.4 times higher at an NaHCO3 concentration of 25 mM than at any other NaHCO3 concentration, likely because both energy-producing metabolic branches (i.e., the succinate-producing branch and the formate-, acetate-, and ethanol-producing branch) were functioning at relatively high rates in the presence of 25 mM bicarbonate. To improve the accuracy of the A. succinogenes metabolic map, the reasons for A. succinogenes glutamate auxotrophy were examined by enzyme assays and by testing the ability of glutamate precursors to support growth. Enzyme activities were detected for glutamate synthesis that required glutamine or alpha-ketoglutarate. The inability to synthesize alpha-ketoglutarate from glucose indicates that at least two tricarboxylic acid cycle-associated enzyme activities are absent in A. succinogenes.

Expression of an L-alanine dehydrogenase gene in Zymomonas mobilis and excretion of L-alanine.

An approach to broaden the product range of the ethanologenic, gram-negative bacterium Zymomonas mobilis by means of genetic engineering is presented. Gene alaD for L-alanine dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.1.) from Bacillus sphaericus was cloned and introduced into Z. mobilis. Under the control of the strong promoter of the pyruvate decarboxylase (pdc) gene, the enzyme was expressed up to a specific activity of nearly 1 mu mol . min -1 . mg of protein -1 in recombinant cells. As a results of this high L-alanine dehydrogenase activity, growing cells excreted up to 10 mmol of alanine per 280 mmol of glucose utilized into a mineral salts medium. By the addition of 85 mM NH4+ to the medium, growth of the recombinant cells stopped, and up to 41 mmol alanine was secreted. As alanine dehydrogenase competed with pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) (EC 4.1.1.1.) for the same substrate (pyruvate), PDC activity was reduced by starvation for the essential PDC cofactor thiamine PPi. A thiamine auxotrophy mutant of Z. mobilis which carried the alaD gene was starved for 40 h in glucose-supplemented mineral salts medium and then shifted to mineral salts medium with 85 mM NH4+ and 280 mmol of glucose. The recombinants excreted up to 84 mmol of alanine (7.5 g/liter) over 25 h. Alanine excretion proceeded at an initial velocity of 238 nmol . min-1 . mg [dry weight]-1. Despite this high activity, the excretion rate seemed to be a limiting factor, as the intracellular concentration of alanine was as high as 260 mM at the beginning of the excretion phase and decreased to 80 to 90 mM over 24 h.

微量元素对大肠杆菌生长和乙酸生成的影响研究

大肠杆菌DA19的代谢特性与培养基中添加微量元素有较大的关系。在基本培养基中,当氮源限制时,添加微量元素可以在一定程度上改善DA19菌体的生长,提高菌体得率YX/G,大大减少乙酸的生成;当氮源充分时,与不添加微量元素相比,DA19在添加微量元素后,菌体浓度大大增加,虽然葡萄糖消耗速率加快,但产乙酸仍然很少,只有不添加时的13％,YX/G提高至少60％。基本培养基中添加0.1～1mL/L的微量元素混合溶液对DA19菌体生长、乙酸生成及葡萄糖消耗没有显著影响。在单独添加不同种类的微量元素时, BO33-、Zn2+、MoO42+、Cu2+没有特别明显的影响,Al3+会抑制菌体生长和葡萄糖利用,而Co2+、Mn2+、Fe2+可以改善细胞生长,特别是添加Fe2+时,细胞生长及乙酸生成等培养结果与添加微量元素混合溶液几乎相同。     

Isolation and Characterization of NH+4-Excreting Mutants of Enterobacter gergoviae

NH4+-excreting mutants were isolated from Enterobacter gergoviae 57–7 wild type as methylamine resistant strains which were obtained by mutagenesis with a transposable element Tn5. The MG 61 mutants excreted 2 mmol/L of ammonium during a diazotrophic growth. The growth of MG 61 mutants were slower than the growth of wild types because of its excreting ammonium. MG 61 mutants expressed up to 86% of the fully depressed nitrogenase activity when grown in a medium containing 20 mmol/L ammonium. By contrast the ammonium grown cultures of wild type had no nitrogenase activity. In the presence of 5 mmol/L or 30 mmol/L of ammonium in the medium, the growth of MG 61 mutants was as same as CK and much slower than that of the wild types which means that the mutants could not utilize amonium very well in the medium. But MG 61 mutants could utilize glutamate as a sole nitrogen source. In the presence of nitrate (10 mmol/L) in the medium, MG 61 mutants grew slowly but excreted 7.8 mmol/L of ammonium.     

不同pH调节剂对产琥珀酸放线杆菌NJ113发酵产丁二酸的影响

在3L发酵罐中分别采用不同的碱性物质作为pH调节剂,考察其对产琥珀酸放线杆菌Actinobacillus succinogenes NJ113厌氧发酵制备丁二酸的影响。结果表明:Ca2+、NH4+调节剂对菌体生长代谢有较大阻碍作用,丁二酸产量较低;采用含Na+调节剂,在发酵中后期菌体出现絮凝现象严重,且产丁二酸能力骤降;采用含Mg2+调节剂,整个发酵过程菌体代谢旺盛,发酵效果较佳。根据各碱性物质的调节能力以及对菌体生长代谢的影响,选择NaOH、Mg(OH)2和Na2CO3、Mg(OH)2分别作为混合碱组分调节pH,并对两组混合碱中各物质的质量比例进行优化。结果表明,以NaOH、Mg(OH)2混合,两者质量比为1:1时,发酵效果最好,丁二酸质量浓度高达到69.8g/L,质量收率74.5%。该种混合碱配比可有效替代碱式MgCO3调节pH,既达到高产丁二酸的目的,又可降低生物制备丁二酸的成本。
