Saccharomyces cerevisiae are unable to maintain high rates of fermentation during transition from catabolism of hexoses to maltose. This phenomenon, termed ‘maltose lag’, presents problems for the baking, brewing and distilling industries, which rely on yeast catabolism of mixtures of hexoses and maltose. Maltose utilisation requires the presence of maltose permease and α-glucosidase (maltase), encoded by MAL genes. Synthesis of these is induced by maltose and repressed by glucose. One strain of baker’s yeast used in this work exhibited a marked maltose lag, whereas a second strain exhibited a shorter lag during conversion from hexose to maltose metabolism. The extent of the lag was linked to the levels of maltose permease and maltase in cells at the time of inoculation into mixed sugar medium. This view is supported by results showing that pulsing yeast with maltose to induce expression of MAL genes prior to inoculation into mixed sugar medium, enhanced sugar fermentation. Maltose pulsing of yeasts could therefore be useful for enhancing some fermentations relevant to baking and other yeast industries.

Summary Growth of yeast cells on glucose resulted in complete inactivation of maltose transport and repression of the high affinity glucose transport system. When the cells were grown on maltose or subjected to substrate starvation, an increase in glucose and maltose transport was observed in both brewing and non-brewing yeast strains. The concentration of glucose employed in the growth medium was also observed to affect sugar transport activity. The higher the glucose concentration, the more pronounced the repressive effect. In addition, the time of growth of yeast on glucose or maltose also intermining the rate of sugar transport. These results are consistent with the repressive effect of glucose on the high affinity glucose and maltose transport systems.  相似文献

Batch culture kinetics of the red yeast, Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous SKKU 0107, revealed reduction in biomass with glucose and lower intracellular carotenoid content with fructose. Figures were different when compared to sucrose, which is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose. In contrast, specific growth rate constant stayed between 0.094~0.098 h−1, irrespective of the carbon sources employed. Although the uptake rate of glucose was found to be 2.9-fold faster than that of fructose, sucrose was found to be a more suitable carbon source for the production of carotenoids by the studied strain. When sugar cane molasses was used, both the specific growth rate constant and the intracellular carotenoid content decreased by 27 and 17%, respectively. Compared with the batch culture using 28 g/L sugar cane molasses, fed-batch culture with the same strain resulted in a 1.45-fold higher cell yield together with a similar level of carotenoid content in X. dendrorhous SKKU 0107.  相似文献

An industrial glucose analyser was partnered to an automated injection system to evaluate glucose in the culture medium of a bioreactor. This sensor has been validated on continuous cultures ofSchizosaccharomyces pombe and continuous and fed-batch cultures ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae. In addition to the advantage of a more accurate process monitoring, the main interest of this sensor deals with the control of the substrate concentration to a prespecified reference signal. Several experiments have been carried out first to validate the sensor, then to control the process evolution.  相似文献

Beauvericin (BEA) is a cyclic hexadepsipeptide mycotoxin with notable phytotoxic and insecticidal activities. Fusarium redolens Dzf2 is a highly BEA-producing fungus isolated from a medicinal plant. The aim of the current study was to develop a simple and valid kinetic model for F. redolens Dzf2 mycelial growth and the optimal fed-batch operation for efficient BEA production. A modified Monod model with substrate (glucose) and product (BEA) inhibition was constructed based on the culture characteristics of F. redolens Dzf2 mycelia in a liquid medium. Model parameters were derived by simulation of the experimental data from batch culture. The model fitted closely with the experimental data over 20–50 g l−1 glucose concentration range in batch fermentation. The kinetic model together with the stoichiometric relationships for biomass, substrate and product was applied to predict the optimal feeding scheme for fed-batch fermentation, leading to 54% higher BEA yield (299 mg l−1) than in the batch culture (194 mg l−1). The modified Monod model incorporating substrate and product inhibition was proven adequate for describing the growth kinetics of F. redolens Dzf2 mycelial culture at suitable but not excessive initial glucose levels in batch and fed-batch cultures.  相似文献

Heterotrophic growth of the facultatively chemolithoautotrophic acidophile Thiobacillus acidophilus was studied in batch cultures and in carbon-limited chemostat cultures. The spectrum of carbon sources supporting heterotrophic growth in batch cultures was limited to a number of sugars and some other simple organic compounds. In addition to ammonium salts and urea, a number of amino acids could be used as nitrogen sources. Pyruvate served as a sole source of carbon and energy in chemostat cultures, but not in batch cultures. Apparently the low residual concentrations in the steady-state chemostat cultures prevented substrate inhibition that already was observed at 150 M pyruvate. Molar growth yields of T. acidophilus in heterotrophic chemostat cultures were low. The Y max and maintenance coefficient of T. acidophilus grown under glucose limitation were 69 g biomass · mol–1 and 0.10 mmol · g–1 · h–1, respectively. Neither the Y max nor the maintenance coefficient of glucose-limited chemostat cultures changed when the culture pH was increased from 3.0 to 4.3. This indicates that in T. acidophilus the maintenance of a large pH gradient is not a major energy-requiring process. Significant activities of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase were retained during heterotrophic growth on a variety of carbon sources, even under conditions of substrate excess. Also thiosulphate- and tetrathionate-oxidising activities were expressed under heterotrophic growth conditions.  相似文献

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the most widely used yeast in industrial/commercial food and beverage production and is even consumed as a nutritional supplement. Various cases of fungemia caused by this yeast species in severely debilitated traumatized or immune-deficient patients have been reported in recent years, suggesting that this species could be an opportunistic pathogen in such patients. To determine whether the industrial S. cerevisiae strains can be included in this virulent group of strains, we carried out a comparative study between clinical and industrial yeasts based on the various phenotypic traits associated with pathogenicity in two other yeast species (Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans). The majority of the clinical isolates were found to secrete higher levels of protease and phospholipase, grow better at 42°C and show strong pseudohyphal growth relative to industrial yeasts. However three industrial yeast strains, one commercial wine strain, baker’s yeast and one commercial strain of S. cerevisiae (var. boulardii), were exceptions and based on their physiological traits these yeasts would appear to be related to clinical strains.  相似文献

For recombinant xylose-utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ethanol yield and productivity is substantially lower on xylose than on glucose. In contrast to glucose, xylose is a novel substrate for S. cerevisiae and it is not known how this substrate is recognized on a molecular level. Failure to activate appropriate genes during xylose-utilization has the potential to result in sub-optimal metabolism and decreased substrate uptake. Certain differences in fermentative performance between the two substrates have thus been ascribed to variations in regulatory response. In this study differences in substrate utilization of glucose and xylose was analyzed in the recombinant S. cerevisiae strain TMB3400. Continuous cultures were performed with glucose and xylose under carbon- and nitrogen-limited conditions. Whereas biomass yield and substrate uptake rate were similar during carbon-limited conditions, the metabolic profile was highly substrate dependent under nitrogen-limited conditions. While glycerol production occurred in both cases, ethanol production was only observed for glucose cultures. Addition of acetate and 2-deoxyglucose pulses to a xylose-limited culture was able to stimulate transient overflow metabolism and ethanol production. Application of glucose pulses enhanced xylose uptake rate under restricted co-substrate concentrations. Results are discussed in relation to regulation of sugar metabolism in Crabtree-positive and -negative yeast.  相似文献

Preparation of stable isotope-labelled yeastolates opens up ways to establish more cost-effective stable isotope labelling of biomolecules in insect and mammalian cell lines and hence to employ higher eukaryotic cell lines for stable isotope labelling of complex recombinant proteins. Therefore, we evaluated several common yeast strains of the Saccharomycetoideae family as a source of high-quality, non-toxic yeastolates with the major aim to find a primary amino acid source for insect and mammalian cell culture that would allow cost-effective uniform stable isotope labelling (13C, 15N). Strains of the facultative methylotrophic yeasts Pichia pastoris and Hansenula polymorpha (Pichia angusta) as well as a strain of the baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were compared as a source of yeastolate with respect to processing, recovery and ability to sustain growth of insect and mammalian cell lines. The best growth-supporting yeastolates were prepared via autolysis from yeast obtained from fed-batch cultures that were terminated at the end of the logarithmic growth phase. Yeastolates obtained from H. polymorpha performed well as a component of insect cell cultures, while yeastolates from S. cerevisiae and H. polymorpha both yielded good results in mammalian cell cultures. Growth of yeasts in Heine’s medium without lactic acid allows relatively low concentrations of 13C and 15N sources, and this medium can be reused several times with supplementation of the 13C source only.  相似文献

The inhibition of substrate and products on the growth of Actinobacillus succinogenes in fermentation using glucose as the major carbon source was studied. A. succinogenes tolerated up to 143 g/L glucose and cell growth was completely inhibited with glucose concentration over 158 g/L. Significant decrease in succinic acid yield and prolonged lag phase were observed with glucose concentration above 100 g/L. Among the end-products investigated, formate was found to have the most inhibitory effect on succinic acid fermentation. The critical concentrations of acetate, ethanol, formate, pyruvate and succinate were 46, 42, 16, 74, 104 g/L, respectively. A growth kinetic model considering both substrate and product inhibition is proposed, which adequately simulates batch fermentation kinetics using both semi-defined and wheat-derived media. The model accurately describes the inhibitory kinetics caused by both externally added chemicals and the same chemicals produced during fermentation. This paper provides key insights into the improvement of succinic acid production and the modelling of inhibition kinetics.  相似文献

Growth kinetics ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae in glucose syrup from cassava starch and sugarcane molasses were studied using batch and fed-batch cultivation. The optimum temperature and pH required for growth were 30°C and pH 5.5, respectively. In batch culture the productivity and overall cell yield were 0.31 g L–1 h–1 and 0.23 g cells g–1 sugar, respectively, on glucose syrup and 0.22 g L–1 h–1 and 0.18 g cells g–1 sugar, respectively, on molasses. In fed-batch cultivation, a productivity of 3.12 g L–1 h–1 and an overall cell yield of 0.52 g cells g–1 sugar in glucose syrup cultivation and a productivity of 2.33 g L–1 h–1 and an overall cell yield of 0.46 g cells g–1 sugar were achieved in molasses cultivation by controlling the reducing sugar concentration at its optimum level obtained from the fermentation model. By using an on-line ethanol sensor combined with a porous Teflon® tubing method in automating the feeding of substrate in the fed-batch culture, a productivity of 2.15 g L–1 h–1 with a yield of 0.47 g cells g–1 sugar was achieved using glucose syrup as substrate when ethanol concentration was kept at a constant level by automatic control.  相似文献

A highly reproducible system for efficient plant regeneration from protoplast via somatic embryogenesis was developed in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivar ZDM-3. Embryogenic callus, somatic embryos and suspension culture cells were used as explants. Callus-forming frequency (82.86 %) was obtained in protoplast cultures from suspension culture cells in KM8P medium with 0.45 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 0.93 μM kinetin (KIN), 1.5 % glucose and 1.5 % maltose. Protocolonies formed in two months with plating efficiency of 14 %. However, the callus-forming efficiencies from other two explants were low. The calli from protoplast culture were transferred to somatic embryo induction medium and 12.7 % of normal plantlets were obtained on medium contained 3 % maltose or 1 % of each sucrose + maltose + glucose, 2.46 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and 0.93 μM KIN. Over 100 plantlets were obtained from protoplasts derived from three explants. The regenerated plants were transferred to the soil and the highest survival rate (95 %) was observed in transplanting via a new method.  相似文献

Summary Glycerol has been known as an important by-product of wine fermentations improving the sensory quality of wine. This study was carried out with an endogenic wine yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae Kalecik 1. The kinetics of growth and glycerol biosynthesis were analysed at various initial concentrations of glucose, fructose, and sucrose in a batch system. Depending on the determined values of Monod constants, glucose (Ks = 28.09 g/l) was found as the most suitable substrate for the yeast growth. Initial glucose, fructose and sucrose concentrations necessary for maximum specific yeast growth rate were determined as 175 g, 100 l, and 200 g/l, respectively. The yeast produced glycerol at very high concentrations in fructose medium. Fructose was determined as the most suitable substrate for glycerol production while the strain showed low tendency to use it for growth. S. cerevisiae Kalecik 1 could not produce glycerol below 200 g/l initial sucrose concentration. When natural white grape juice was used as fermentation medium, maximum glycerol concentration and dry weight of the yeast were determined as 9.3 g/l and 11.8 g/l, respectively.  相似文献

Recombinant strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, producing hantavirus Puumala nucleocapsid protein for diagnostics and as a candidate vaccine were analyzed for uptake and excretion of intermediary metabolites during process optimization studies of fed-batch bioreactor cultures. Concentrations of glucose, maltose, galactose, pyruvate, acetaldehyde, ethanol, acetate, succinate and formaldehyde (used as a selection agent) were measured in the culture medium in order to find a metabolite pattern, indicative for the physiological state of the producer culture. When the inducer galactose was employed as a growth substrate, the metabolite profile of recombinant yeast cells was different from those of the non-recombinant original strain which excreted considerable amounts of metabolites with this substrate. In contrast, galactose-induced heterologous gene expression was indicated by the absence of excreted intermediary metabolites, except succinate. A model strain expressing a GFP fusion of hantavirus nucleocapsid protein differed in the excretion of metabolites from strains without GFP. In addition, the influence of alkali ions, employed for pH control is also demonstrated.  相似文献

The effect of phosphate (P i ) concentration on the growth behavior of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain CEN.PK113-5D in phosphate-limited batch and chemostat cultures was studied. The range of dilution rates used in the present study was 0.08–0.45 h−1. The batch growth of yeast cells followed Monod relationship, but growth of the cells in phosphate-limited chemostat showed change in growth kinetics with increasing dilution rates. The difference in growth kinetics of the yeast cells in phosphate-limited chemostat for dilution rates below and above approximately 0.2 h−1 has been discussed in terms of the batch growth kinetic data and the change in the metabolic activity of the yeast cells. Immunological detection of a C-terminally myc epitope-tagged Pho84 fusion protein indicated derepressive expression of the Pho84 high-affinity P i transporter in the entire range of dilution rates employed in this study. Phosphate transport activity mediated by Pho84 transporter was highest at very low dilution rates, i.e. 0.08–0.1 h−1, corresponding to conditions in which the amount of synthesized Pho84 was at its maximum.  相似文献

High-gravity brewing, which can decrease production costs by increasing brewery yields, has become an attractive alternative to traditional brewing methods. However, as higher sugar concentration is required, the yeast is exposed to various stresses during fermentation. We evaluated the influence of high-gravity brewing on the fermentation performance of the brewer’s yeast under model brewing conditions. The lager brewer’s strain Weihenstephan 34/70 strain was characterized at three different gravities by adding either glucose or maltose syrups to the basic wort. We observed that increased gravity resulted in a lower specific growth rate, a longer lag phase before initiation of ethanol production, incomplete sugar utilization, and an increase in the concentrations of ethyl acetate and isoamyl acetate in the final beer. Increasing the gravity by adding maltose syrup as opposed to glucose syrup resulted in more balanced fermentation performance in terms of higher cell numbers, respectively, higher wort fermentability and a more favorable flavor profile of the final beer. Our study underlines the effects of the various stress factors on brewer’s yeast metabolism and the influence of the type of sugar syrups on the fermentation performance and the flavor profile of the final beer.  相似文献

The influence of different physiological states on the glucose uptake and mineralization by Cytophaga johnsonae, a freshwater isolate, was examined in batch and chemostat cultures. At different growth rates under glucose limitation in chemostat cultures, different uptake patterns for 14C labeled glucose were observed. In batch culture and at high growth rates the glucose uptake potential showed a higher maximum velocity and a much lower substrate affinity than at lower growth rates. These findings and the results of short-term labeling patterns could be explained by two different glucose uptake mechanisms which enable the strain to grow efficiently both at high and low substrate concentrations. Substrate specificity studies showed that a structural change of the C-2 atom of the glucose molecule was tolerated by both systems. The consequences of these results for the ecophysiological classification of the Cytophaga group and for the operation of continuous cultures are discussed.  相似文献

Although Aeromonas caviae is pathogenic to a broad range of invertebrates including human, frequent in aquatic environments, and potentially vital for acidogenesis in anaerobic digestion, virtually no biokinetic information on its anaerobic growth is at hand. Therefore, this study focused on evaluating its anaerobic growth kinetics on glucose. To provide a set of relevant biokinetic coefficients for modeling, a combination of curve fitting and numerical modeling was used. Microcultivations were performed at eight different initial glucose concentrations of 0.1 to 2.5 g l−1 to establish a function of specific growth rate versus substrate concentration. A batch anaerobic bioreactor was then operated to collect a data set for the numerical analysis. Kinetic coefficients were estimated from three different biomass growth profiles monitored by optical density, volatile suspended solids (VSS), or DNA measurement, and applied for simulating continuous operations at various hydraulic retention times (HRTs). Assuming the influent glucose concentration is 5,000 mg l−1, the substrate utilization efficiency predicted to be 77.2% to 92.0% at 17 to 36 h HRTs. For the VSS-model-based simulation, the washout HRT was estimated to be 16.6 h, and similar for the other models. Overall, the anaerobic biokinetic coefficients of A. caviae grown on glucose were successfully estimated and found to follow a substrate inhibition model.  相似文献

In contrast to its diauxic behaviour in batch culture, Thiobacillus A2 grew in chemostat culture using glucose and succinate as dual limiting substrates. Biomass production under dual limitations was the sum of that on single substrates with each substrate being oxidized and assimilated to similar extents in single and dual substrate-limited cultures. In glucose and glucose + succinate-limited cultures glucose was oxidized largely by the Entner-Doudoroff and pentose phosphate pathways, but other mechanisms also contributed and the ratios of pathways depended on substrate ratios and the previous substrate-history of the culture. Variations in specific activities of enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism following switches from single to mixed substrates were considerable, ranging from fourfold for fructose diphosphate aldolase to more than 200-fold for hexokinase, fructose diphosphatase, glucose 6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases. Changes in specific activities occurred only over prolonged time periods in the chemostat, probably reflecting low concentrations of free substrates in carbon-limited cultures and consequent low levels of catabolite repression.  相似文献
