酵母菌属间原生质体融合获得能发酵乳糖生产酒精的融合体

本文报道了用聚乙二醇(PEG)诱导酿酒酵母 （Saccharomyces cerecisiae)和乳酸克鲁维酵母(Kluyveromyces lactis)属间原生质体融合。融合体的细胞体积约为两亲株之和;融合体的DNA含量约为亲株的两倍;融合体具有双亲株的遗传标记。融合体不仅能发酵葡萄糖、蔗糖、麦芽糖、半乳糖、棉子糖和蜜二糖,而且也能发酵乳糖。在以乳糖为碳源的培养基中,融合体的发酵力是亲株乳酸克鲁维酵母的两倍多;在以葡萄糖为碳源的培养基中,融合体与亲株酿酒酵母的发酵力接近。     

Kluyveromyces marxianus发酵己糖和戊糖生产乙醇

对利用底物广泛的乙醇发酵菌株马克斯克鲁维(Kluyveromyces marxianus)DL1菌株与工业用乙醇发酵菌株酿酒酵母(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)6525利用己糖(葡萄糖、甘露糖、半乳糖)和戊糖(木糖、阿拉伯糖)的情况进行对比研究。结果发现:以己糖为底物时,K.marxianus DL1均表现出细胞生长快、乙醇得率高的特点;在不通气、糖20 g/L条件下,K.marxianus DL1的最大乙醇质量浓度均比S.cerevisiae 6525高出10%左右,细胞量及乙醇生产强度分别是S.cerevisiae 6525的近2和1.7倍。当以戊糖为底物时,K.marxianus DL1可以利用木糖和阿拉伯糖;在不通气、糖20g/L条件下,K.marxianus DL1利用木糖产木糖醇和乙醇,乙醇终质量浓度可达7.68 g/L,木糖醇质量浓度为9.12 g/L;以阿拉伯糖为发酵底物时,阿拉伯糖醇的产量可达6 g/L左右;而S.cerevisiae 6525不能利用戊糖。马克斯克鲁维酵母比酿酒酵母更适合纤维乙醇生产。     

马克斯克鲁维酵母的木糖和阿拉伯糖发酵

马克斯克鲁维酵母作为非常规酵母在燃料乙醇发酵中受到人们越来越多的关注。马克斯克鲁维具有天然的发酵戊糖的能力,但不同菌株的发酵能力存在较大差异。本研究比较了3株马克斯克鲁维菌株Kluyveromyces marxianus 9009/1911/1727(K.m 9009/1911/1727)在不同温度下的木糖和阿拉伯糖的发酵性能差异,结果发现不同发酵温度下,3株菌在耗糖速率、糖醇产率均表现出了显著的差异。菌株K.m 9009和K.m 1727在40℃下的发酵性能均优于30℃,这充分体现了马克斯克鲁维酵母的高温发酵优势。针对发酵差异,采用PCR方法获得3个不同菌株的戊糖代谢途径中的5种关键代谢酶(XR、XDH、XK、AR和LAD)的基因序列,并利用Clustalx 2.1进行了序列比对。结果显示3株菌的相关基因与文献中报道的1株克鲁维酵母的相应关键酶氨基酸编码序列相似性达98%以上,并且差异的氨基酸不在酶的关键位点处。在此基础上,通过Real-time实验,对木糖发酵差异最为明显的K.m 1727和K.m 1911的木糖代谢过程4个关键酶(XR、XDH、XK和ADH)的基因表达量进行测定,其结果显示对于耐热菌株K.m 1727,XDH和XK基因表达量低是导致木糖代谢过程中木糖醇积累、乙醇产量低的主要原因。最后,将所测得的马克斯克鲁维酵母的戊糖代谢关键酶序列与其他不同种属相比对,确定了其木糖和阿拉伯糖代谢途径,为进一步利用代谢工程方法提高戊糖发酵性能奠定了基础。

Yeast community structures and dynamics in healthy and Botrytis-affected grape must fermentations

Indigenous yeast population dynamics during the fermentation of healthy and Botrytis-affected grape juice samples from two regions in Greece, Attica and Arcadia, were surveyed. Species diversity was evaluated by using restriction fragment length polymorphism and sequence analyses of the 5.8S internal transcribed spacer and the D1/D2 ribosomal DNA (rDNA) regions of cultivable yeasts. Community-level profiles were also obtained by direct analysis of fermenting samples through denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis of 26S rDNA amplicons. Both approaches revealed structural divergences in yeast communities between samples of different sanitary states or geographical origins. In all cases, Botrytis infection severely perturbed the bioprocess of fermentation by dramatically altering species heterogeneity and succession during the time course. At the beginning and middle of fermentations, Botrytis-affected samples possessed higher levels of biodiversity than their healthy counterparts, being enriched with fermentative and/or spoilage species, such as Zygosaccharomyces bailii and Issatchenkia spp. or Kluyveromyces dobzhanskii and Kazachstania sp. populations that have not been reported before for wine fermentations. Importantly, Botrytis-affected samples exposed discrete final species dominance. Selection was not species specific, and two different populations, i.e., Saccharomyces cerevisiae in samples from Arcadia and Z. bailii in samples from Attica, could be recovered at the end of Botrytis-affected fermentations. The governing of wine fermentations by Z. bailii is reported for the first time and could elucidate the origins and role of this particular spoilage microbe for the wine industry. This is the first survey to compare healthy and Botrytis-affected spontaneous fermentations by using both culture-based and -independent molecular methods in an attempt to further illuminate the complex yeast ecology of grape must fermentations.     

Molecular differentiation of the microgastrine species commonly found in paddy fields from Southeast Asia,with additional data on their phylogeny （Hymenoptera：Braconidae）

Partial DNA sequences of three genes, that is, mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit (16S), nuclear large ribosomal subunit (28S D2) and mitochondrial NADH1 dehydrogenase (NADH1) gene, were sequenced from different microgas trine species(Braconidae: Microgastrinae) collected fresh from paddy fields. The DNA sequences were used to determine the extent of sequence variation among species in order to evaluate the specific status of each species. Cladistic analysis was also used to infer a phylogenetic relationship among these species. The results showed that sequence divergence among species of the same genus Cotesia was much lower than those among different genera, such as Cotesia, Exoryza and Apanteles; the sequence similarity of 16S rDNA and NADH 1 genes between Cotesia sp. and C. chilonis was higher than that between C. sp. and C. ruficrus.Phylogenetic analyses suggested that four species of Cotesia were always grouped in the same clade regardless of using different analysis methods; Cotesia sp. and C. chilonis are more closely related to each other than to C. ruficrus, different from previous morphological results. Additionally, sequence analyses indicated that NADH1 gene has more parsimony informative characters than 28S rDNA D2 and 16S rDNA at the species-level analysis,indicating that NADH1 gene might be a useful marker for species-level analysis.     

新疆地区酸马奶中酵母菌的鉴定及其生物多样性分析

从新疆少数民族牧民家庭采集的28份传统工艺酿造酸马奶样品中分离出87株酵母菌,并对其进行了生理生化鉴定、分子生物学鉴定和生物多样性分析。生化试验结果表明,新疆地区酸马奶中的酵母菌为Saccharomyces unisporus(占总分离株的48.3%),Kluyveromyces marxianus(27.6%),Pichia membranaefaciens(15.0%)和Saccharomyces cerevisiae(9.2%)。选取其中的6株酵母菌和1株参考菌株,进行大亚基(26S)rDNA D1/D2区域(600bp左右)碱基序列分析,并通过GenBank进行同源序列搜索以确定各菌株的归属,进一步验证生理生化方法的正确性。从得到的结果中可以看出,S.unisporus和K.marxianus为新疆地区酸马奶中的优势菌。     

Kluyveromyces lactis rDNA as a target for multiple integration by homologous recombination.

Gene targeting to a single chromosomal locus has been extensively used in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study, we have analyzed targeting of a repetitive sequence, the 25S rDNA gene, to the chromosomal rDNA cluster of Kluyveromyces lactis by the use of a replacement vector. We have obtained K. lactis transformants carrying multiple copies of the replacement cassette inserted into the rDNA chromosomal locus. Analysis of several transformants has shown that the number of integrated copies could range from 4 to 40. Moreover, the distribution of integration sites within the rDNA locus was found to differ in most transformants. Single-copy integration at multiple sites, rather than multicopy integration at a very limited number of sites, was found to be the most frequent event. Also, in most transformants, integration sites were distributed at random as well as in an orderly fashion, i.e., in contiguous or alternate rDNA repeats, suggesting that amplification of the integrated sequences, rather than multiple integration events, may account for the copy number of insertions.     

Molecular genetic diversity of the Saccharomyces yeasts in Taiwan: Saccharomyces arboricola, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces kudriavzevii

Genetic hybridization, sequence and karyotypic analyses of natural Saccharomyces yeasts isolated in different regions of Taiwan revealed three biological species: Saccharomyces arboricola, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces kudriavzevii. Intraspecies variability of the D1/D2 and ITS1 rDNA sequences was detected among S. cerevisiae and S. kudriavzevii isolates. According to molecular and genetic analyses, the cosmopolitan species S. cerevisiae and S. kudriavzevii contain local divergent populations in Taiwan, Malaysia and Japan. Six of the seven known Saccharomyces species are documented in East Asia: S. arboricola, S. bayanus, S. cerevisiae, S. kudriavzevii, S. mikatae, and S. paradoxus.     

Phylogenetic relationships among yeasts of the 'Saccharomyces complex' determined from multigene sequence analyses

Species of Saccharomyces, Arxiozyma, Eremothecium, Hanseniaspora (anamorph Kloeckera), Kazachstania, Kluyveromyces, Pachytichospora, Saccharomycodes, Tetrapisispora, Torulaspora, and Zygosaccharomyces, as well as three related anamorphic species assigned to Candida (C. castellii, C. glabrata, C. humilis), were phylogenetically analyzed from divergence in genes of the rDNA repeat (18S, 26S, ITS), single copy nuclear genes (translation elongation factor 1alpha, actin-1, RNA polymerase II) and mitochondrially encoded genes (small-subunit rDNA, cytochrome oxidase II). Single-gene phylogenies were congruent for well-supported terminal lineages but deeper branches were not well resolved. Analysis of combined gene sequences resolved the 75 species compared into 14 clades, many of which differ from currently circumscribed genera.
