Turnover of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and its influence on the molecular mass of the polymer accumulated by Alcaligenes eutrophus during batch culture

Abstract Radiolabelled glucose was added to a batch culture of Alcaligenes eutrophus during the accumulation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) to label newly synthesized polymer. The specific radioactivity of the polymer continued to increase, by approximately 30%, after the cessation of PHB accumulation, indicating that turnover of PHB was occurring. Fractionation of PHB showed that high molecular mass polymer was gradually replaced by PHB of lower molecular mass. Turnover of PHB is the cause of the slow decline in the molecular mass of PHB following the cessation of polymer accumulation but is unlikely to be the sole reason for the more rapid decrease in the molecular mass of PHB during the accumulation phase.     

Plasmid pMOL28-mediated inducible nickel resistance in Alcaligenes eutrophus strain CH34

The effect of nickel salt on growth of the nickel-resistant wild type strain Alcaligenes eutrophus CH34, which harbours two plasmids, and on its partially or totally cured derivatives as well as of the wild type strain H16 was studied. Plasmid pMOL28-mediated nickel resistance turned out to be an inducible property. Full resistance is induced during growth in the presence of 0.03–3.0 mM NiCl₂. Induction requires growth. While plasmid-free cells accumulate nickel at a high rate, the pMOL28-harbouring-induced cells accumulate only negligibly small amounts of nickel. It is concluded that pMOL28 mediates a protective mechanism preventing the cells to accumulate nickel ions intracellularly at toxic concentrations.     

Localization of the membrane-bound hydrogenase in Alcaligenes eutrophus by electron microscopic immunocytochemistry

Abstract The membrane-bound hydrogenase was localized in cells of Alcaligenes eutrophus by electron microscopic immunocytochemistry. Post-embedding labeling performed on ultrathin sections revealed that the enzyme was located predominantly (80%) at the cell periphery in autotrophically and heterotrophically grown bacteria harvested from the exponential phase of growth. In the stationary growth phase, however, only 50% of the enzyme was found at the cell periphery; the remaining 50% was distributed over the cytoplasm. The relative amount of electron microscopic label per cell as seen by application of the protein A—gold technique was higher in cells grown autotrophically as compared to cells grown heterotrophically on fructose. Derepression of the enzyme was followed electron microscopically in a substrate-shift experiment (growth on fructose, followed by a shift to glycerol). Major amounts of the enzyme appeared to undergo a reattachment to the cytoplasmic membrane under these conditions, starting with a reduced location of the enzyme in the cytoplasm and an accumulation in cell areas close to the cytoplasmic membrane. These findings indicate that the 'membrane-bound' hydrogenase (i.e., that material enriched as membrane-bound enzyme according to the appropriate activity test) is not, in fact, membrane bound or membrane integrated but membrane associated. It may or may not interact with the cytoplasmic face of the cytoplasmic membrane, depending on the growth phase and conditions.     

Production of poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid) by fed-batch culture of Alcaligenes eutrophus with glucose concentration control

Alcaligenes eutrophus NCIMB 11599 was cultivated to produce poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid) (PHB) from glucose by the automatic fed-batch culture technique. The glucose concentration of the culture broth was controlled at 10 to 20 g/L by two methods: using exit gas data obtained from a mass spectrometer and using an on-line glucose analyzer. The effect of ammonium limitation on PHB synthesis at different culture phases was studied. The final cell concentration, PHB concentration, and PHB productivity increased as ammonia feeding was stopped at a higher cell concentration. High concentrations of PHB (121 g/L) and total cells (164 g/L) were obtained in 50 h when ammonia feeding was stopped at the cell concentration of 70 g/L. The maximum PHB content reached 76% of dry cell weight and the productivity was 2.42 g/L h with the yield of 0.3 g PHB/g glucose.     

Structural organization of the membrane-bound hydrogenase isolated from Alcaligenes eutrophus as revealed by electron microscopy

Abstract Electron microscopy of negatively stained samples of the membrane-bound hydrogenase isolated from Alcaligenes eutrophus was used to obtain enzyme images with an estimated resolution of 2.5 nm. The two subunits with shapes similar to the letter 'U' making up the enzyme could be seen to be joined in two planes orthogonal to each other, making contact with their concave sides. In face-on view, the particle exhibited bilateral symmetry.     

Kinetic analysis on formation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) from acetic acid by Ralstonia eutropha under chemically defined conditions

Batch cultures of Ralstonia eutropha in chemically defined media with acetic acid (HAc) as the sole carbon source were conducted to investigate acetate utilization, formation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and growth of active biomass (ABM) under different carbon to nitrogen (C/N) weight ratios. The specific acetate utilization rate based on ABM approached 0.16 g/g ABM h⁻¹, which was not affected very much by the extracellular HAc concentration from 1 to 5 g/l, but was affected by the C/N weight ratio. A low C/N ratio or high nitrogen supply sped up the specific acetate utilization rate to produce more ABM and less PHB. A high HAc concentration (>6 g/l), however, depressed acetate utilization as well as the ABM growth and PHB formation. A high cell mass concentration enhanced the tolerance of R. eutropha to the toxicity of HAc at pH 7 to 8.5. The viscosity-average molecular size of PHB generally increased first and then declined in batch cultures. Larger PHB molecules and less PHB per ABM were produced at a low C/N ratio with enough nutrient nitrogen than those under a high C/N ratio with less nutrient nitrogen available.

Pure culture and cytological properties of ''Syntriphobacter wolini''

Abstract In water-in-oil microemulsion the membrane-associated F₄₂₀-hydrogenase of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum (strain Marburg) and the membrane-bound hydrogenase of Alcaligenes eutrophus H 16 (MBH) showed prolonged activity at elevated temperatures (measured as hydrogen production) as compared to aqueous buffer solution. The temperature optimum of the reactions was about 15°C higher than in aqueous buffer solution. Activity of the almost completely inactivated F₄₂₀-hydrogenase could be partially recovered by transfer into microemulsion.

Immunocytochemical localization of the soluble NAD-dependent hydrogenase in cells of Alcaligenes eutrophus

Abstract The localization of the soluble NAD-dependent hydrogenase in cells of Alcaligenes eutrophus PHB⁻4 was investigated using the protein A-gold technique as a post-embedding immunoelectron microscopic procedure. The enzyme was found throughout the cytoplasm of the cells. Autotrophic cells harvested in the logarithmic phase of growth exhibited a higher degree of labeling as compared to autotrophic cells from the stationary growth phase. Heterotrophic cells showed an almost identical labeling intensity in all growth phases. In a substrate-shift experiment (from fructose to glycerol, performed in the stationary growth phase), high amounts of newly synthesized enzyme could be observed two hours after the shift. This enzyme was located, as inclusion bodies, in the DNA region of the cells.
