The influence of zinc, iron, cobalt, and manganese on submerged cultures of Fusarium moniliforme NRRL 13616 was assessed by measuring dry weight accumulation, fusarin C biosynthesis, and ammonia assimilation. Shake flask cultures were grown in a nitrogen-limited defined medium supplemented with various combinations of metal ions according to partial-factorial experimental designs. Zinc (26 to 3,200 ppb [26 to 3,200 ng/ml]) inhibited fusarin C biosynthesis, increased dry weight accumulation, and increased ammonia assimilation. Carbohydrate was found to be the principal component of the increased dry weight in zinc-supplemented cultures. Zinc-deficient cultures synthesized more lipid and lipidlike compounds, such as fusarin C, than did zinc-supplemented cultures. Microscopic examination showed that zinc-deficient hyphae contained numerous lipid globules which were not present in zinc-supplemented cultures. Addition of zinc (3,200 ppb) to 2- and 4-day-old cultures inhibited further fusarin C biosynthesis but did not stimulate additional dry weight accumulation. Iron (10.0 ppm) and cobalt (9.0 ppm) did not affect fusarin C biosynthesis or dry weight accumulation. Manganese (5.1 ppm) did not affect dry weight accumulation but did increase fusarin C biosynthesis in the absence of zinc. Maximum fusarin C levels, 32.3 micrograms/mg (dry weight), were produced when cultures were supplied manganese, whereas minimum fusarin C levels, 0.07 micrograms/mg (dry weight), were produced when zinc, iron, cobalt, and manganese were supplied. These results suggest a multifunctional role for zinc in affecting F. moniliforme metabolism. 相似文献

Summary A phosphate-limited resting cell system ofStreptomyces griseus in a synthetic medium has been developed in which biosynthesis of the polyene macrolide, candicidin, is linear for at least 36 h without cell growth. Glucose and to a lesser degree sucrose, but not lactose, support antibiotic synthesis. Glucose is utilized at a constant rate for antibiotic synthesis without affecting mycelial dry weight. Acetate and propionate, the building units of the macrolide aglycone, stimulate candicidin biosynthesis in cultures supplemented with glucose but do not support its synthesis in the absence of glucose. Maximal stimulation of candicidin biosynthesis was produced by 40 mM propionate or 250 mM acetate. The biosynthetic intermediate, methyl malonate, and the analog, 1-propanol, were more stimulatory than propionate at the same concentration. 相似文献

Resistance to low (5 mug/ml) concentrations of streptomycin in agar media was not inherited by all of the surviving population. Outgrowth of cultures in liquid media supplemented with the antibiotic depended upon inoculum size. Antibiotic titers in the supplemented cultures decreased during incubation, and an inactive radioactive product was detected when [14C] streptomycin was used. This low-level resistance is, therefore, attributed to enzymic inactivation of the antibiotic. Growth 10 mug/ml or higher concentrations of streptomycin on agar media was due to selection of resistant variants present in the parent strain. A range of such variants existed, decreasing in frequency as their degree of resistance increased. Examination of one that was resistant to moderate concentrations of streptomycin, (25 mug/ml) and a second that was resistant to high (100 mug/ml) concentrations of streptomycin suggested that both possed ribosomes which had lower affinity for the antibiotic than those of the parent strain, and that tolerance to high levels of streptomycin was due to a resistant ribosomal system for protein biosynthesis. 相似文献

When cultured anaerobically in a chemically defined medium that was treated with Chelex-100 to lower its trace metal content, Streptococcus mutans OMZ176 had no apparent requirement for manganese or iron. Manganese or iron was necessary for aerobic cultivation in deep static cultures. During continuous aerobic cultivation in a stirred chemostat, iron did not support the growth rate achieved with manganese. Since the dissolved oxygen level in the chemostat cultures was higher than the final level in the static cultures, manganese may be required for growth at elevated oxygen levels. In medium supplemented with manganese, cells grown anaerobically contained a low level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity; aerobic cultivation increased SOD activity at least threefold. In iron-supplemented medium, cells grown anaerobically also had low SOD activity; aerobic incubation resulted in little increase in SOD activity. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the cell extracts revealed a major band and a minor band of SOD activity in the cells grown with manganese; however, cells grown with iron contained a single band of SOD activity with an Rf value similar to that of the major band found in cells grown with manganese. None of the SOD activity bands were abolished by the inclusion of 2 mM hydrogen peroxide in the SOD activity strain. S. mutans may not produce a separate iron-containing SOD but may insert either iron or manganese into an apo-SOD protein. Alternatively, iron may function in another activity (not SOD) that augments the defense against oxygen toxicity at low SOD levels. 相似文献

The protein biosynthesis of BHK-21/C 13 cell cultures under the influence of multiplying rubella virus was studied by the uptake and incorporation of 14C leucine. The uptake of 14C leucine by the cells of virus-infected cultures was found to increase up to the third day after infection; no further increase was detectable on the fourth day. Control cultures maintained under the same conditions showed a similar behaviour up to the second and on the fourth day. On the third day, the virus-infected cultures exhibited significantly higher uptake than the controls. It may be that the virus infection causes damage to the cellular wall, the nature of which has yet to be elucidated. The protein incorporation of 14C leucine slightly increases in the virus-infected cultures 36 hrs after infection. This increase is not equally pronounced in the control cultures, but the differences were not significant. 相似文献

Phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase activity was determined in Friend virus-inducted erythroleukemic cells in culture, stimulated to differentiate in the presence of dimethylsulfoxide. The activity of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase did not decrease in cells which had acquired the specialized function of hemoglobin synthesis, nor was the phosphoribosylpyrophosphate content of untreated erythroleukemic cells significantly different from that of cultures exposed to dimethylsulfoxide for 96 hours. However, the rate of the early steps of de novo purine biosynthesis as measured by the incorporation of [1-14C] glycine and [1-14C] formate into formyglycinamide ribonucleotide, was significantly lower in differentiating cell cultures. The addition of glutamine or ammonia increased glycine incorporation of control cultures, but failed to do so in treated cultures. In the course of the normal development of erythrocytes in vivo, phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase activity is preserved, while the capacity to synthesize purines de novo is lost, as is the activity of the phosphoribosyl-l-amine synthesizing enzymes. Our present study suggests that the rate of de novo purine biosynthesis in this erythroleukemic cell line is not limited by the availability of phosphoribosylphrophosphate, but rather by a decrease in the phosphoribosyl-l-amine synthesizing enzymes. These findings provide further evidence that during dimethylsulfoxide-stimulated erythroid maturation, the same regulatory mechanisms are operative as in normal cellular development, and that ammonia-dependent purine biosynthesis is subject to the same regulatory mechanisms as is glutamine-dependent biosynthesis. 相似文献

Chloramphenicol produced by cultures of Streptomyces species 3022a supplemented with sodium [1,2-13C]acetate was labelled with 13C exclusively in the dichloromethine (2.6 +/- 0.1%) and carbonyl (0.59 +/- 0.05% carbon atoms. Satellite signals from 13C-13C coupling between covalently bonded 13C-enriched carbon atoms were too intense to be attributed to random combination of labelled atoms at the average enrichments measured, but their intensity relative to those of the signals for uncoupled 13C atoms indicated that most of the precursor had been incorporated after 13C-13C bond fission. Since [2,3-13c]succinic acid enriched only the carbonyl carbon atom of chloramphenicol, these results suggest that neither acetate nor a Krebs cycle intermediate is a direct precursor of the dichloroacetyl group. Cultures supplemented with [2-3h]-or [2h2]-dichloroacetic acid incorporated negligible amounts of isotope into the antibiotic; on this evidence, the free acid is not an intermediate in chloramphenicol biosynthesis and the acylation step may precede chlorination. 相似文献

The effect of phosphatidylserine exogenously added to the medium on de novo biosynthesis of phosphatidylserine was investigated in cultured Chinese hamster ovary cells. When cells were cultured for several generations in medium supplemented with phosphatidylserine and 32Pi, the incorporation of 32Pi into cellular phosphatidylserine was remarkably inhibited, the degree of inhibition being dependent upon the concentration of added phosphatidylserine. 32Pi uptake into cellular phosphatidylethanolamine was also partly reduced by the addition of exogenous phosphatidylserine, consistent with the idea that phosphatidylethanolamine is biosynthesized via decarboxylation of phosphatidylserine. However, incorporation of 32Pi into phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, and phosphatidylinositol was not significantly affected. In contrast, the addition of either phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylethanolamine, or phosphatidylinositol to the medium did not inhibit endogenous biosynthesis of the corresponding phospholipid. Radiochemical and chemical analyses of the cellular phospholipid composition revealed that phosphatidylserine in cells grown with 80 microM phosphatidylserine was almost entirely derived from the added phospholipid. Phosphatidylserine uptake was also directly determined by using [3H]serine-labeled phospholipid. Pulse and pulse-chase experiments with L-[U-14C] serine showed that when cells were cultured with 80 microM phosphatidylserine, the rate of synthesis of phosphatidylserine was reduced 3-5-fold whereas the turnover of newly synthesized phosphatidylserine was normal. Enzyme assaying of extracts prepared from cells grown with and without phosphatidylserine indicated that the inhibition of de novo phosphatidylserine biosynthesis by the added phosphatidylserine appeared not to be caused by a reduction in the level of the enzyme involved in the base-exchange reaction between phospholipids and serine. These results demonstrate that exogenous phosphatidylserine can be efficiently incorporated into Chinese hamster ovary cells and utilized for membrane biogenesis, endogenous phosphatidylserine biosynthesis thereby being suppressed. 相似文献

The biochemistry of piezophilic bacteria is unique in that piezophiles produce polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). A pertinent question is if piezophilic bacteria synthesize PUFA de novo, through dietary uptake, or both. This study was undertaken to examine the biosynthesis and cellular uptake of PUFAs by piezophilic bacteria. A moderately piezophilic (Shewanella violacea DSS12) and two hyperpiezophilic bacteria (S. benthica DB21MT-2 and Moritella yayanosii DB21MT-5) were grown under 50 MPa (megapascal) and 100 MPa, respectively, in media containing marine broth 2216 supplemented with arachidonic acid (AA, sodium salt) and/or antibiotic cerulenin. There was active uptake and cellular incorporation of AA in the hyperpiezophilic bacteria DB21MT-2 (14.7% of total fatty acids) and DB21MT-5 (1.4%), but no uptake was observed in DSS12. When cells were treated with cerulenin, all three strains incorporated AA into cell membranes (13–19%). The biosynthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids was significantly inhibited (10–37%) by the addition of cerulenin, whereas the concentrations of PUFAs increased by 2–4 times. These results suggest that piezophilic bacteria biosynthesize and/or incorporate dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids that are important for their growth and piezoadaptation. The significance of these findings is also discussed in the context of phenotypic classification of piezophiles. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein B transports cholesterol in plasma as low density lipoprotein (LDL) and targets its delivery to cells by binding to a specific plasma membrane receptor. The cellular consequences of apoB binding to its receptor were investigated to determine whether it suppresses cholesterol biosynthesis and reduces the number of cellular receptors for the apoprotein. Upon preincubation of fibroblasts with lipoprotein-deficient medium alone or supplemented with either LDL or apoB complexed to BSA (apoB-BSA), LDL suppressed cholesterol biosynthesis, but apoB enhanced it. Similarly, fibroblasts preincubated in medium supplemented with LDL bound decreased amounts of either (125)I-labeled LDL or (125)I-labeled apoB-BSA to their receptors, while preincubation with apoB-BSA increased the binding relative to the controls. These latter results occurred in association with a decrease in cellular cholesterol content, indicating that apoB in the medium bound cholesterol and removed it from the cells, thus stimulating both cholesterol synthesis and cellular binding of apoB. Accordingly, fibroblast cholesterol synthesis and the number of functional LDL receptors are not suppressed by the binding of the apoprotein to the receptor, and the known role of apoB remains that of transporting cholesterol in plasma and delivering it to the cell. A possible physiologic role for apoB in depleting cells of cholesterol is presently unknown since apoB is not known to exist free in plasma; however, these findings demonstrate such a functional capability for this apoprotein.-Shireman, R.

The growth of photoautotrophic Euglena gracilis Z is strongly inhibited by manganese deficiency, whereas chlorophyll formation is not appreciably affected. The galactosyldiglyceride content of the manganese-deficient photo-autotrophic Euglena was about 40% lower on the basis of either chlorophyll content or dry weight. When dark-grown cultures of Euglena were grown photoheterotrophically in light sufficient for the greening of the cells, or photosynthesis, manganese deficiency resulted in a reduction of the cellular content of chlorophyll and galactosyldiglycerides to 40% of control values, indicating interference with chloroplast formation. The fatty acids of the photoheterotrophic manganese-deficient cells were mainly saturated, with an unusual accumulation (about 45%) of the total fatty acids) of myristic acid. In spite of this, the galactosyldiglycerides contain mainly unsaturated fatty acids. Ninety per cent of the fatty acids of the monogalactosyldiglyceride are unsaturated, including large amounts of alpha-linolenic acid. The ratio of chlorophyll to galactosyldiglyceride content of the cells was remarkably constant at all manganese deficiency levels. 相似文献

Pseudomonas syringae cultured in a defined citrate medium supplemented with 1 mM aluminium, chromium and manganese, respectively, appeared to elicit disparate biochemical responses. At the stationary phase of growth aluminium was predominantly present as an insoluble residue. Although virtually none of this metallic element was detected in the supernatant, the bacterial cells appeared to contain some aluminium. Following the initial uptake of chromium the microbe secreted the metal in the supernatant. Only a small fraction of the chromium was localised in the bacterial cells; 91% manganese was biotransformed into an insoluble pellet. No citrate was detected in the exocellular fluid at cessation of cellular growth. 相似文献

Microorganisms which require oleic acid for the formation of antibiotics were screened. Streptomyces sp. No. 362, one of the selected organisms, produced antimicrobial substances only when oleic acid, palmitic acid or the high concentration of l-glutamic acid (or l-glutamine) was supplemented to the medium. The cellular fatty acid composition was changed by the supplement of these fatty acids, but not by l-glutamic acid (or l-glutamine). Antibiotic-producing cells had about 4 to 10 times larger amino acid pools, especially l-glutamic acid pool, and hexosamine pools. The ability for l-glutamate uptake of cells grown in the oleic or palmitic acid supplemented medium was markedly enhanced and the efflux of the accumulated l-glutamate was reduced. The antibiotic produced by this strain was identified as one of the streptothricin-group antibiotics and the role of these additives in the antibiotic formation is discussed. 相似文献

Adenosine 3':5' cyclic monophosphate seems to regulate antibiotic biosynthesis and secondary metabolism in tylosin-producing cultures of Streptomyces fradiae C373.1. A dose-dependent response is observed by exogenous additions of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (cAMP), and is related to the nutritional status of the culture. Addition of cAMP to cultures growing in nutritionally lean media caused higher cumulative antibiotic tigers and some cellular differentiation compared with the control. In nutritionally rich media, a qualitatively different behavior resulted: an almost instantaneous shift toward secondary metabolism occurred. The response is characterized by extensive cellular differentiation with little growth and only a trace of antibiotic production. The possible role of cyclic AMP n the regulation of tylosin biosynthesis and secondary metabolism and its relation to specific nutrient limitations in synthetic, defined media in Streptomyces fradiae is discussed.

The effects of insulin, cortisol and prolactin on amino acid uptake and protein biosynthesis were determined in mammary-gland explants from mid-pregnant mice. Insulin stimulated [3H]leucine incorporation into protein within 15 min of adding insulin to the incubation medium. Insulin also had a rapid stimulatory effect on the rate of aminoiso[14C]butyric acid uptake, but it had no effect on the intracellular accumulation of [3H]leucine. Cortisol inhibited the rate of [3H]leucine incorporation into protein during the initial 4h of incubation, but it had no effect at subsequent times. [3H]Leucine uptake was unaffected by cortisol, but amino[14C]isobutyric acid uptake was inhibited after a 4h exposure period to this hormone. Prolactin stimulated the rate of [3H]leucine incorporation into protein when tissues were exposed to this hormone for 4h or more; up to 4h, however, no effect of prolactin was detected. At all times tested, prolactin had no effect on the uptake of either amino[14C]isobutyric acid or [3H]leucine. Incubation with actinomycin D abolished the prolactin stimulation of protein biosynthesis, but this antibiotic did not affect the insulin response. A distinct difference in the mechanism of action of these hormones on protein biosynthesis in the mammary gland is thus apparent. 相似文献

The influence of succinic acid as a component of media for biosynthesis of levorin, a polyenic antibiotic was studied. It was shown that with the use of the soybean-corn medium supplemented with succinic acid (0.05-0.4 per cent) the antibiotic content in the fermentation broth was higher than that in the control. The highest stimulating effect (135 per cent) was observed with addition of 0.1 per cent of succinic acid. For providing optimal antibiotic production in the synthetic medium supplemented with succinic acid (0.4 per cent) addition of acetic acid (0.05 per cent) was required. Studies with the soybean-corn medium with and without succinic acid revealed differences in the level of p-aminoacetophenone, an aromatic fragment of the levorin molecule. Under the conditions of the medium with succinic acid the content of p-aminoacetophenone in the mycelium was higher by 10 to 18 per cent as compared to that in the control and depended on the fermentation period. The role of succinic acid in biosynthesis of levorin is discussed. 相似文献

In beta-lactam producing microorganisms, the first step in the biosynthesis of the beta-lactam ring is the condensation of three amino acid precursors: alpha-aminoadipate, L-cysteine and D-valine. In Nocardia lactamdurans and other cephamycin-producing actinomycetes, alpha-aminoadipate is generated from L-lysine by two sequential enzymatic steps. The first step involves a lysine-6-aminotransferase activity (LAT), considered to be one of the rate-limiting steps for antibiotic biosynthesis. Here, we report the effect of exogenous lysine on antibiotic production by N. lactamdurans MA4213. Lysine-supplemented cultures showed higher titers of cephamycin C, an effect that was more significant at early fermentation times. The increase in cephamycin C production was not quantitatively correlated with specific LAT activity in lysine-supplemented cultures. Observation of a positive effect of lysine on cephamycin C production by N. lactamdurans was dependent on carbon source availability in the culture media. Supplementation of the culture media with exogenous lysine did not affect the mRNA levels of the early biosynthetic genes controlled by the bidirectional promoter. These results indicate that L-lysine is required not only for antibiotic biosynthesis, but particularly as carbon or nitrogen source. 相似文献

The manufacture of secreted proteins is complicated by the need for both high levels of expression and appropriate processing of the nascent polypeptide. For glycoproteins, such as erythropoietin (EPO), posttranslational processing involves the addition of oligosaccharide chains. We initially noted that a subset of the amino acids present in the cell culture media had become depleted by cellular metabolism during the last harvest cycle in our batch fed system and hypothesized that by supplementing these nutrients we would improve EPO yields. By increasing the concentration of these amino acids we increased recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) biosynthesis in the last harvest cycle as expected but, surprisingly, we also observed a large increase in the amount of rHuEPO with a relatively low sialic acid content. To understand the nature of this process we isolated and characterized the lower sialylated rHuEPO pool. Decreased sialylation correlated with an increase in N-linked carbohydrates missing terminal galactose moieties, suggesting that beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase may be rate limiting in our system. To test this hypothesis we supplemented our cultures with varying concentrations of manganese (Mn(2+)), a cofactor for beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase. Consistent with our hypothesis we found that Mn(2+) addition improved galactosylation and greatly reduced the amount of rHuEPO in the lower sialylated fraction. Additionally, we found that Mn(2+) addition increased carbohydrate site occupancy and narrowed carbohydrate branching to bi-antennary structures in these lower sialylated pools. Surprisingly Mn(2+) only had this effect late in the culture process. These data indicate that the addition of Mn(2+) has complex effects on stressed batch fed cultures. 相似文献
