联动过程控制技术提高10L发酵罐γ-聚谷氨酸产量

聚谷氨酸,是由微生物发酵产生的水溶性多聚氨基酸,分子量多分布在100～10 000 kD,因其具有水溶性和吸附性好,以及易降解等特点,多用于农业、环保、医药等领域。本研究以实验室自行筛选的一株产γ-聚谷氨酸的地衣芽孢杆菌为出发菌株,在10 L发酵罐上对接种量、转速、风量、pH、发酵时间等发酵条件进行优化研究,旨在提高γ-聚谷氨酸产量。实验结果表明,当设定初始发酵条件为接种量10%,初始转速220 r/min,通风量8 L/min,pH值7.4,发酵过程中对转速、发酵液pH、风量进行联动控制调整,在发酵20 h后上调转速到250 r/min,DO低于20%风量提高到10 L/min,发酵液pH值由7.4降低至6.0左右时,对流加浓度为20%的氨水进行pH调整控制,维持pH值在7.0,65 h后发酵结束,可明显提高γ-聚谷氨酸产量,由未优化控制条件前的8.9 g/L提高到21.6 g/L。因此,通过对转速、pH、通风量的协同联动调整,γ-聚谷氨酸的产量有了较大幅度提升,将为后期的扩大化生产奠定基础。

环境条件对丙酮酸分批发酵的影响

考察了搅拌转速、pH和温度对丙酮酸分批发酵的影响。高转速（500r／min）下,丙酮酸产率较高（71％）,但葡萄糖消耗速度较慢（1．23g／（L·h））;低转速（300r／min）下,细胞消耗葡萄糖的速度加快（1．95g/（L·h））,而丙酮酸产率（0．48％）却明显下降。将搅拌转速恒定在400r／min可在一定程度上获得较高的丙酮酸产率（0．62％）和葡萄糖消耗速度（1．66g／（L·h））。CaCO3调节pH时,较多碳流从丙酮酸节点转向α-酮戊二酸节点和细胞生长,最终丙酮酸产量比NaOH调节pH时的发酵结果低38．7％;NH3·H2O调节pH时最终细胞浓度和丙酮酸产量仅为NaOH调节时的77．8％和90．9％。pH5．5时最利于丙酮酸的合成。较高的发酵温度加速T.glabrata积累丙酮酸,但同时会导致α-酮戊二酸的提前积累;而较低的温度下甘油和α-酮戊二酸积累较少,丙酮酸发酵的最适温度为28～30℃。     

谷氨酸棒杆菌一步法发酵糖质原料生产γ-聚谷氨酸

γ-聚谷氨酸在食品、化妆品、生物医药等领域具有广泛的应用,目前主要的生产菌株是谷氨酸依赖型菌株,在生产过程中需要添加谷氨酸作为前体,因而生产γ-聚谷氨酸的成本较高。文中主要研究从糖质原料一步法发酵合成γ-聚谷氨酸的生产工艺。首先,从产γ-聚谷氨酸的菌株枯草芽孢杆菌中克隆γ-聚谷氨酸合成酶的基因簇pgs BCA,在谷氨酸棒杆菌模式菌株ATCC13032中进行诱导型和组成型表达,结果显示,仅诱导型表达菌株可以积累γ-聚谷氨酸,产量为1.43 g/L。进一步对诱导条件进行优化,确定诱导时间为2 h,IPTG浓度为0.8 mmol/L,γ-聚谷氨酸产量为1.98g/L。在此基础上,在一株高产谷氨酸的谷氨酸棒杆菌F343中外源表达pgs BCA,对重组菌进行发酵,结果表明,在摇瓶发酵中γ-聚谷氨酸产量达到10.23g/L,在5L发酵罐中产量达到20.08g/L;继而对γ-聚谷氨酸进行分子量测定,结果显示,产自F343重组菌的γ-聚谷氨酸的重均分子量比产自枯草芽孢杆菌的提高34.77%。文中构建了一步法发酵糖质原料生产γ-聚谷氨酸的新途径,同时为开发其潜在应用奠定了基础。     

溶解氧对γ-聚谷氨酸合成的影响

在5L发酵罐上研究了溶解氧(DO)对地衣芽孢杆菌分批发酵生产γ-聚谷氨酸(γ-PGA)的影响并考察在8h、32h、56h时,葡萄糖激酶、6-磷酸葡萄糖脱氢酶、丙酮酸脱氢酶、异柠檬酸脱氢酶和谷氨酸脱氢酶的活性及对应时间点上γ-PGA的生产速率。通过溶解氧电极和搅拌转速的串联控制发酵过程中溶解氧水平,发现高溶解氧(60%)水平和低溶解氧(10%)水平均不能高效积累γ-PGA。6-磷酸葡萄糖脱氢酶活性的提高对产物的积累有抑制作用,葡萄糖激酶和谷氨酸脱氢酶的酶活提高对产物积累有促进作用,过高的丙酮酸脱氢酶和异柠檬酸脱氢酶的活性在一定程度上可以促进菌体生长但不利于产物的积累。此外,通过对三种不同DO水平下γ-PGA生物合成途径中相关代谢流量的计算表明,在p H 6.5的条件下,对于谷氨酸依赖型生产菌株,提高外源谷氨酸利用率可以促进γ-PGA的生物合成。

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
