The possible acidic nature of the peroxisomal matrix present in intact yeast cells was studied immunocytochemically, using the weak base DAMP as a probe. Spheroplasts of methanol-grown Candida boidinii and Hansenula polymorpha were regenerated and incubated with DAMP. After immunogold labelling, using antibodies against DAMP, a specific accumulation of gold particles was observed on the peroxisomal profiles. This labelling was absent in controls, performed in the presence of ionophores or chloroquine. These results support earlier observations, that in intact cells a pH-gradient exists across the peroxisomal membrane. Experiments, carried out on osmotically swollen spheroplasts indicated that maintenance of this pH-gradient is strongly related to the cell's integrity.  相似文献

Recent advances in biotechnology of methanol-utilizing yeasts are briefly summarized. The emphasis is given to production of some fine and commercial chemicals such as formaldehyde, formate, hydrogen peroxide, dihydroxyacetone, ATP, FAD as well as proteins, specifically alcohol oxidase. The advantages of mutants and recombinants derived from methylotrophic yeasts for efficient production of various useful materials are demonstrated.  相似文献

Abstract The use of methylotrophic yeasts for the production of single-cell-protein (SCP), alcohol oxidase and fine chemicals has been proposed. Fermentation technology developed for the growth of these yeasts on methanol at high cell densities has been commercialized. However, it is the production of heterologous recombinant proteins by Pichia pastoris that is emerging as the most significant application of the methylotrophic yeasts.  相似文献

A medium for detecting sulphite-binding yeasts in meat products   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The loss of free sulphite in meat products, and thereby preservative potential, is associated with an increase in bound sulphite resulting in part from acetaldehyde production by yeasts. A medium containing Schiff's reagent was devised to detect sulphite-binding yeasts. Yeast colonies that caused red colouration were recorded as acetaldehyde producers. Initially acetaldehyde-producing strains (as enumerated on the detection medium) represented 60% of the yeast flora of preserved minced lamb but, as the free sulphite level diminished, non-sulphite-binding yeasts increased in number.  相似文献

Trehalase activation in yeasts is mediated by an internal acidification   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
It has been reported that the addition of glucose, uncouplers and nystatin to yeast cells grown in a sugarfree medium causes trehalase activation; it has been postulated that this activation might be mediated by the depolarization of the plasma membrane. In this article the values of membrane potential and pH gradient across the plasma membrane of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been determined under the same conditions as those in which trehalase is activated. Membrane potential was evaluated from the distribution of triphenylmethylphosphonium, the pH gradient from the distribution of benzoic acid across the plasma membrane. When the effect of several agents on the two components of the electrochemical proton gradient across the plasma membrane of ethanol-grown yeast cells were studied, under trehalase activation conditions, the following observations were made. (a) The addition of glucose activated trehalase and caused internal acidification of the cells, but had practically no effect on the membrane potential. (b) The addition of 200 mM KCl depolarized the cell membrane but did not affect the internal pH, nor trehalase activity. (c) Although carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone depolarized the cells at external pH 6.0 and 7.0, it only activated trehalase at an external pH 6.0, leading to the acidification of the internal medium at this pH. (d) Nystatin caused an increase in the triphenylmethylphosphonium accumulation at external pH 6.0 and 7.0, but only activated trehalase at external pH 6.0, causing acidification of the cell interior at this pH. (e) Activation of trehalase was also observed when the internal acidification was caused by addition of a weak acid such as acetate. It is concluded that trehalase activation is mediated by an intracellular acidification and is independent of the membrane potential.  相似文献

The effect of formaldehyde on the cytochrome system of the methylotrophic yeasts Candida tropicalis, Candida boidinii, Candida methylica, Hansenula capsulata, Hansenula polymorpha, Pichia pastoris and nonmethylotrophic yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied. In the investigated concentration range of 0.58 – 2.5 mol · 1?1, formaldehyde decreases the level of the reduced cytochrome c in the above-mentioned microorganisms. The kinetics of the change in the reduced cytochrome c content has two phases: a phase of slow decrease and a phase of complete disappearance of the reduced cytochrome c in the cells. The duration of the first phase shortens with increasing concentrations of formaldehyde.  相似文献

Redox balances in the metabolism of sugars by yeasts   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9  
Abstract The central role of the redox couples NAD+/NADH and NADP+/NADPH in the metabolism of sugars by yeasts is discussed in relation to energy metabolism and product formation. Besides their physical compartmentation in cytosol and mitochondria, the two coenzyme systems are separated by chemical compartmentation as a consequence of the absence of transhydrogenase activity. This has considerable consequences for the redox balances of both coenzyme systems and hence for sugar metabolism in yeasts.
As examples, the competition between respiration and fermentation of glucose, the Crabtree effect, the Custers effect, adaptation to anaerobiosis, the activities of the hexose monophosphate pathway, and the fermentation of xylose in yeast are discussed.  相似文献

Methylotrophic yeasts, named after their ability to grow on methanol as the sole carbon source, have raised large interest as recombinant protein factories. In this review, we explain the basic mechanisms underlying this interest and describe the minimal requirements to transform the two genera recognized as methylotrophic, Pichia and Candida, into a powerful protein production tool. We present a comparison between this group of yeasts and the conventional yeasts used as expression system in view of productivity, level of secretion and quality of post-translational modifications. Selected examples of recombinant protein produced by methylotrophic yeast are also included.  相似文献

The capacity to use methanol as sole source of carbon and energy is restricted to relatively few yeast species. This may be related to the low efficiency of methanol metabolism in yeast, relative to that of prokaryotes. This contribution describes the details of methanol metabolism in yeast and focuses on the significance of compartmentalization of this metabolic pathway in peroxisomes.  相似文献

The fermentation and aerobic metabolism of cellodextrins by 14 yeast species or strains was monitored. When grown aerobically, Candida wickerhamii, C. guilliermondii, and C. molischiana metabolized cellodextrins of degree of polymerization 3 to 6. C. wickerhamii and C. molischiana also fermented these substrates, while C. guilliermondii fermented only cellodextrins of degree of polymerization less than or equal to 3. Debaryomyces polymorphus, Pichia guilliermondii, Clavispora lusitaniae, and one of two strains of Kluyveromyces lactis metabolized glucose, cellobiose, and cellotriose when grown aerobically. These yeasts also fermented these substrates, except for K. lactis, which fermented only glucose and cellobiose. The remaining species/strains tested, K. lactis, Brettano-myces claussenii, B. anomalus, K. dobzhanskii, Rhodotorula minuta, and Dekkera intermedia, both fermented and aerobically metabolized glucose and cellobiose. Crude enzyme preparations from all 14 yeast species or strains were tested for ability to hydrolyze cellotriose and cellotretose. Most of the yeasts produced an enzyme(s) capable of hydrolyzing cellotriose. However, with two exceptions, R. minuta and P. guilliermondii, only the yeasts that metabolized cellodextrins of degree of polymerization greater than 3 produced an enzyme(s) that hydrolyzed cellotretose.  相似文献
