This study focused on the effects of different mineral supplements on the ability of Corynebacterium glutamicum to degrade phenol in contaminated soil and convert the phenol into useful amino acids. Three types of minerals including FeSO4, MgSO4, and MnSO4 were added at several concentrations to C. glutamicum culture media containing 1% yeast extract prior to treating the soil samples with 4.24 mM phenol. The reactor was incubated at 30°C and 150 rpm for 3 days, and the treated soil was sampled daily and analyzed using gas chromatography for residual phenol and the amino acids produced. Additionally, a plant toxicity assay was employed to examine the fertilization of the phenol-contaminated soil after C. glutamicum treatment supplemented with the three minerals. Our results suggested that among various tested concentrations, 72 μM of iron showed a significant effect on the utilization of phenol by C. glutamicum for conversion to amino acids, therefore enhancing fertilization of the phenol-contaminated soil.  相似文献

Corynebacterium glutamicum is the world’s largest producer of glutamate and lysine. Industrial glutamate overproduction is induced by empirical processes, such as biotin limitation, supplementation with specific surfactants or addition of sublethal concentration of certain antibiotics to the culture media. Although Gram-positive bacteria, C. glutamicum and related bacterial species and genera contain, in addition to the plasma membrane, an outer permeability membrane similar to that of Gram-negative microorganisms. As the amino acids have to cross both membranes, their integrity, composition and fluidity influence the export process. While the precise mechanism of the export of the amino acids by C. glutamicum is not fully understood, the excretion of amino acids through the inner membrane involved at least a major export system mechanosensitive channel MscS family (MscCG) encoded by NCgl1221. As the various industrial treatments have been shown to affect the lipid content of the bacterial cell, it is strongly believed that defects in the hallmark of the outer membrane, 2-alkyl, 3-hydroxylated long-chain fatty acids (mycolic acids), could be key factors in the glutamate overproduction. This review aims at giving an overview of the current knowledge on mycolic acids structure, biosynthesis and transfer in C. glutamicum and their relevance for amino acid biotechnological production.  相似文献

Corynebacterium glutamicum is one of the most important microorganisms because of its ability to produce and secrete glutamate, lysine and other amino acids. To optimize biotechnological amino acid synthesis it is therefore necessary to understand well how metabolic fluxes can be altered by studying the proteins directing these fluxes.In this work we give a comprehensive quantitative outline about the proteomic state of the l-lysine producing mutant strain DM1730 compared to wild type strain ATCC 13032 in the stationary phase of growth. This study comprises 1107 soluble and membrane proteins, of which 908 have been quantified. C. glutamicum DM1730 seems to produce a large amount of lysine even at the expense of various housekeeping functions. Generally, several proteins that are involved in stress response were found to be significantly more abundant, whereas many members of the protein expression machinery are less abundant as well as most proteins involved in cell growth and division and cell envelope synthesis. Extensive l-lysine production causes C. glutamicum to suffer from oxidative stress and iron limitation. Ultimately, a changed lipid composition of C. glutamicum's cell envelope seems to increase its fluidity, which might be related to altered physiology and membrane processes.  相似文献

Skin collagen decreases in protein-malnourished states. Amino acids regulate protein metabolism, glutamine stimulates collagen synthesis through the conversion process to proline and provides 75 % of the intracellular free proline in fibroblasts. However, the impact of these amino acids on collagen synthesis under malnutrition has not been examined. We investigated the effect of amino acids on dermal tropocollagen synthesis in protein-malnourished rats. The fractional synthesis rate (FSR, %/h) of dermal tropocollagen was evaluated by the incorporation of l-[ring-2H5]-phenylalanine after 4 h infusion of each amino acid and the stable isotope. None of the infused 12 single amino acids (glutamine, proline, alanine, arginine, glutamate, glycine, aspartate, serine, histidine, lysine, phenylalanine and threonine) significantly increased the FSR (P = 0.343, one-way ANOVA). In contrast, amino acid mixtures of essential amino acids + glutamine + arginine (EAARQ) and branched-chain amino acids + glutamine (BCAAQ) significantly increased the FSR compared to saline, but the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and amino acid mixture of collagen protein (AAC) did not alter the FSR (saline, 0.96 ± 0.24 %/h; EAARQ, 1.76 ± 0.89 %/h; BCAAQ 1.71 ± 0.36 %/h; BCAAs, 1.08 ± 0.20 %/h and AAC 1.39 ± 0.35 %/h, P < 0.05, Tukey’s test). Proline conversion from glutamine represented only 3.9 % of the free proline in skin, as evaluated by the primed-constant infusion of l-d7-proline and l-α-15N-glutamine in rats. These results suggested that the combination of BCAAQ is a key factor for the enhancement of skin collagen synthesis in protein-malnourished rats. The contribution of extracellular free glutamine on de novo proline synthesis and collagen synthesis is very low in vivo compared to the contribution in vitro.  相似文献

Metabolic engineering is a powerful tool which has been widely used for producing valuable products. For improving l-phenylalanine (l-Phe) accumulation in Corynebacterium glutamicum, we have investigated the target genes involved in the biosynthetic pathways. The genes involved in the biosynthesis of l-Phe were found to be strictly regulated genes by feedback inhibition. As a result, overexpression of the native wild-type genes aroF, aroG or pheA resulted in a slight increase of l-Phe. In contrast, overexpression of aroF wt or pheA fbr from E. coli significantly increased l-Phe production. Co-overexpression of aroF wt and pheA fbr improved the titer of l-Phe to 4.46 ± 0.06 g l?1. To further analyze the target enzymes in the aromatic amino acid synthesis pathway between C. glutamicum and E. coli, the wild-type gene aroH from E. coli was overexpressed and evaluated in C. glutamicum. As predicted, upregulation of the wild-type gene aroH resulted in a remarkable increase of l-Phe production. Co-overexpression of the mutated pheA fbr and the wild-type gene aroH resulted in the production of l-Phe up to 4.64 ± 0.09 g l?1. Based on these results we conclude that the wild-type gene aroH from E. coli is an appropriate target gene for pathway engineering in C. glutamicum for the production of aromatic amino acids.  相似文献

The hom-1-thrB operon encodes homoserine dehydrogenase resistant to feedback inhibition by L-threonine and homoserine kinase. Stable expression of this operon has not yet been attained in different Corynebacterium glutamicum strains. We studied the use of chromosomal integration and of a low-copy-number vector for moderate expression of the hom-1-thrB operon to enable an analysis of the physiological consequences of its expression in C. glutamicum. Strains carrying one, two, or three copies of hom-1-thrB were obtained. They showed proportionally increased enzyme activity of feedback-resistant homoserine dehydrogenase and of homoserine kinase. This phenotype was stably maintained in all recombinants for more than 70 generations. In a lysine-producing C. glutamicum strain which does not produce any threonine, expression of one copy of hom-1-thrB resulted in the secretion of 39 mM threonine. Additional copies resulted in a higher, although not proportional, accumulation of threonine (up to 69 mM). This indicates further limitations of threonine production. As the copy number of hom-1-thrB increased, increasing amounts of homoserine (up to 23 mM) and isoleucine (up to 34 mM) were secreted. Determination of the cytosolic concentration of the respective amino acids revealed an increase of intracellular threonine from 9 to 100 mM and of intracellular homoserine from 4 to 74 mM as the copy number of hom-1-thrB increased. These results suggest that threonine production with C. glutamicum is limited by the efflux system for this amino acid. Furthermore, the results show the successful use of moderate and stable hom-1-thrB expression for directing the carbon flux from aspartate to threonine.  相似文献

Currently, the majority of tools in synthetic biology have been designed and constructed for model organisms such as Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In order to broaden the spectrum of organisms accessible to such tools, we established a synthetic biological platform, called CoryneBrick, for gene expression in Corynebacterium glutamicum as a set of E. coli-C. glutamicum shuttle vectors whose elements are interchangeable with BglBrick standard parts. C. glutamicum is an established industrial microorganism for the production of amino acids, proteins, and commercially promising chemicals. Using the CoryneBrick vectors, we showed various time-dependent expression profiles of a red fluorescent protein. This CoryneBrick platform was also applicable for two-plasmid expression systems with a conventional C. glutamicum expression vector. In order to demonstrate the practical application of the CoryneBrick vectors, we successfully reconstructed the xylose utilization pathway in the xylose-negative C. glutamicum wild type by fast BglBrick cloning methods using multiple genes encoding for xylose isomerase and xylulose kinase, resulting in a growth rate of 0.11?±?0.004 h?1 and a xylose uptake rate of 3.35 mmol/gDW/h when 1 % xylose was used as sole carbon source. Thus, CoryneBrick vectors were shown to be useful engineering tools in order to exploit Corynebacterium as a synthetic platform for the production of chemicals by controllable expression of the genes of interest.  相似文献

We constructed beta-glucosidase (BGL)-displaying Corynebacterium glutamicum, and direct l-lysine fermentation from cellobiose was demonstrated. After screening active BGLs, Sde1394, which is a BGL from Saccharophagus degradans, was successfully displayed on the C. glutamicum cell surface using porin as an anchor protein, and cellobiose was directly assimilated as a carbon source. The optical density at 600 nm of BGL-displaying C. glutamicum grown on cellobiose as a carbon source reached 23.5 after 48 h of cultivation, which was almost the same as that of glucose after 24 h of cultivation. Finally, Sde1394-displaying C. glutamicum produced 1.08 g/l of l-lysine from 20 g/l of cellobiose after 4 days of cultivation, which was about threefold higher than the amount of produced l-lysine using BGL-secretory C. glutamicum strains (0.38 g/l after 5 days of cultivation). This is the first report on amino acid production using cellobiose as a carbon source by BGL-expressing C. glutamicum.  相似文献

Over-expression of the gene, mshA, coding for mycothiol glycosyl transferase improved the robustness of Corynebacterium glutamicum to various stresses. Intracellular mycothiol (MSH) content was increased by 114 % in WT(pXMJ19-mshA) compared to WT(pXMJ19). Survival rates increased by 44, 39, 90, 77, 131, 87, 52, 47, 57, 85 and 33 % as compared to WT(pXMJ19) under stress by H2O2 (40 mM), methylglyoxal (5.8 mM), erythromycin (0.08 mg ml?1), streptomycin (0.005 mg ml?1), Cd2+ (0.01 mM), Mn2+ (2 mM), formic acid (0.05 %), acetic acid (0.15 %), levulinic acid (0.25 %), furfural (7.2 mM), and ethanol (10 % v/v), respectively. Increased MSH content also decreased the concentration of reactive oxygen species in the presence of the above stresses. Our results may open a new avenue for enhancing robustness of industrial bacteria for production of commodity chemicals.  相似文献

γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA), a non-protein amino acid, is a bioactive component in the food, feed and pharmaceutical fields. To establish an effective single-step production system for GABA, a recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum strain co-expressing two glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) genes (gadB1 and gadB2) derived from Lactobacillus brevis Lb85 was constructed. Compared with the GABA production of the gadB1 or gadB2 single-expressing strains, GABA production by the gadB1gadB2 co-expressing strain increased more than twofold. By optimising urea supplementation, the total production of l-glutamate and GABA increased from 22.57 ± 1.24 to 30.18 ± 1.33 g L?1, and GABA production increased from 4.02 ± 0.95 to 18.66 ± 2.11 g L?1 after 84-h cultivation. Under optimal urea supplementation, l-glutamate continued to be consumed, GABA continued to accumulate after 36 h of fermentation, and the pH level fluctuated. GABA production increased to a maximum level of 27.13 ± 0.54 g L?1 after 120-h flask cultivation and 26.32 g L?1 after 60-h fed-batch fermentation. The conversion ratio of l-glutamate to GABA reached 0.60–0.74 mol mol?1. By co-expressing gadB1 and gadB2 and optimising the urea addition method, C. glutamicum was genetically improved for de novo biosynthesis of GABA from its own accumulated l-glutamate.  相似文献

The Gram-positive bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum is used for the industrial production of amino acids, e.g. of l-glutamate and l-lysine. In the last 10 years, genetic engineering and amplification of relevant structural genes have become fascinating methods for the construction of strains with desired genotypes. By cloning and expressing the various genes of the l-lysine pathway in C. glutamicum we could demonstrate that an increase of the flux of l-aspartate semialdehyde to l-lysine could be obtained in strains with increased dehydrodipicolinate synthase activity. By combined overexpression of deregulated aspartate kinase and dihydrodipicolinate synthase, the l-lysine secretion could be increased (10–20%). Recently we detected that in C. glutamicum two pathways exist for the synthesis of dl-diaminopimelate and l-lysine. Mutants defective in one pathway are still able to synthesize enough l-lysine for growth, but the l-lysine secretion is reduced to 50–70%. Using NMR spectroscopy, we could calculate how much of the l-lysine secreted into the medium is synthesized via each pathway. Amplification of the feedback inhibition-insensitive homoserine dehydrogenase and homoserine kinase in a high l-lysine overproducing strain enabled channelling of the carbon flow from the intermediate aspartate semialdehyde towards homoserine, resulting in a high accumulation of l-threonine. For a further flux from l-threonine to l-isoleucine the allosteric control of threonine dehydratase must be eliminated. In addition to all steps considered so far to be important for amino acid overproduction, the secretion into the culture medium also has to be noted. Recently it could be demonstrated that l-glutamate, l-lysine and l-isoleucine are not secreted via passive diffusion but via specific active carrier systems. Analysis of lysine-overproducing C. glutamicum strains indicates that this secretion carrier has a strong influence on the overproduction of this amino acid. Thus, for the construction of strong amino acid overproducing strains by using the gene cloning techniques, the overexpression of the genes for the export systems also seems necessary.  相似文献

Here, Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 expressing Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase from Pseudomonas putida KT2440 was designed to produce 9-(nonanoyloxy) nonanoic acid from 10-ketostearic acid. Diverse parameters including cultivation and reaction temperatures, type of detergent, and pH were found to improve biotransformation efficiency. The optimal temperature of cultivation for the production of 9-(nonanoyloxy) nonanoic acid from 10-ketostearic acid using whole cells of recombinant C. glutamicum was 15 °C, but the reaction temperature was optimal at 30 °C. Enhanced conversion efficiency was obtained by supplying 0.05 g/L of Tween 80 at pH 7.5. Under these optimal conditions, recombinant C. glutamicum produced 0.28 mM of 9-(nonanoyloxy) nonanoic acid with a 75.6% (mol/mol) conversion yield in 2 h. This is the first report on the biotransformation of 10-ketostearic acid to 9-(nonanoyloxy) nonanoic acid with a recombinant whole-cell C. glutamicum-based biocatalyst and the results demonstrate the feasibility of using C. glutamicum as a whole-cell biocatalyst.  相似文献
