微生物诱导子对青霉PT95菌株菌核生物量和类胡萝卜素产率的影响

菌核是许多丝状真菌形成的一种休眠体.我们从土壤中分离到一株经鉴定属于Penicillium thomii series的PT95青霉菌株,该菌株能在固态培养基上形成大量坚硬的砂粒状的菌核(直径约300μn).PT95菌株的菌核与众不同之处在于可以积累以β-胡萝卜素为主的类胡萝卜素[1].菌核的形成,除了遗传因素外,还受多种因素影响,例如生长环境中的温度、水势( Water potential)、有机物成分等[2-4].Hawker [5]认为对真菌的营养生长( Vegetative growth)有利的物质也对菌核生长有利.我们在以前的研究中也证实了合适的氮、碳源以及植物油的补充有利于提高PT95的菌核生物量[6].然而,菌核生物量的提高,只解决了一半问题.如果在得到大量菌核的同时,菌核中积累的类胡萝卜素含量也提高了,这才能保证PT95菌株类胡萝卜素产率的提高.     

外源β-胡萝卜素、光照对青霉PT95菌株菌核分化和类胡萝卜素产率的影响

初步研究了外源β-胡萝卜素和光照对青霉PT5菌株菌核分化和类胡萝卜素产率的影响。结果表明,在培养基中加入外源β-胡萝卜素后,PT5菌株渗出液出现的时间、菌核出现的时间延迟了,但菌核成熟的时间没变。培养基中的外源β-胡萝卜素浓度越大,其渗出液、菌核出现的时间越迟。外源β-胡萝卜素亦能降低PT5菌株的脂质过氧化水平和菌核中的类胡萝卜素含量。高氧胁迫的光照培养条件有利于PT95菌株的菌核分化和色素在菌核中的积累;与低氧胁迫的黑暗培养条件相比,其菌核生物量和类胡萝卜素产率分别增加了18．7％和101％。以上实验结果表明,若想获得高的菌核生物量和类胡萝卜素产率,应该尽可能在高氧胁迫、无抗氧化剂存在的条件下培养PT5菌株。

Sclerotia growth and carotenoid production of Penicillium sp PT95 during solid state fermentation of corn meal

Using corn meal as fermentation substrate, the effect of some factors, fermentation time and supplementation of saccharide and nitrogen sources as well as vegetable oil, on the sclerotia growth and carotenoid production of Penicillium sp PT95 during solid state fermentation were studied. When PT95 strain was grown on the amended medium by supplementing of 3g NaNO3, 10g maltose and 2.5g soybean oil per liter of salt solution to basal medium for 20 days, the dry sclerotia weight and carotenoid yield reached 9.70 g and 5260 g / 100 g of substrate, respectively. Without supplementation only 5.36g dry sclerotia and 2149g carotenoid / 100 g of substrate was attained. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998     

Laser mutagenesis of protoplasts of Penicillium sp. PT95 for the enhancement of carotenoid yield

Aims: To isolate the protoplasts from Penicillium sp. PT95 and carry out laser mutagenesis to attain high-yield mutant strain for carotenoid production. Methods and Results: The mycelial pellets of PT95 strain were digested with the lytic enzyme for 3 h in order to attain protoplasts. The prepared protoplasts were irradiated using helium neon (He–Ne) laser. Among all regenerated colonies isolated from irradiated protoplasts, five colonies proved to be able to form sclerotia. The five colonies were named as strains L01, L02, L03, L04 and L05, respectively. Whereas, among all regenerated colonies isolated from no-irradiated protoplasts, no colonies were found to form sclerotia. Strains L01, L02, L03, L04 and L05 showed higher carotenoid yield than the original strain in Czapek’s agar medium. Strain L05 gave the highest pigment yield of 381 μg per plate, which was 2·54 times higher than that of original strain. Conclusions: These results suggest that PT95 strain may be mutagenized using laser-irradiation to obtain higher-yield mutant strains for carotenoid production. Significance and Impact of the Study: These data prompted us to consider that several attempts should be made to improve carotenoid production in PT95 by strain selection using classical screening and mutagenesis techniques.     

Sclerotial biomass and carotenoid yield of Penicillium sp. PT95 under oxidative growth conditions and in the presence of antioxidant ascorbic acid

AIMS: To determine the effect of oxidative stress and exogenous ascorbic acid on sclerotial biomass and carotenoid yield of Penicillium sp. PT95. METHODS: In this experiment, high oxidative stress was applied by the inclusion of FeSO(4) in the growth medium and exposure to light. Low oxidative stress was applied by omitting iron from the growth medium and by incubation in the dark. Supplementation of exogenous ascorbic acid (as antioxidant) to the basal medium caused a concentration-dependent delay of sclerotial differentiation (up to 48 h), decrease of sclerotial biomass (up to 40%) and reduction of carotenoid yield (up to 91%). On the contrary, the exogenous ascorbic acid also caused a concentration-dependent decrease of lipid peroxidation in colonies of this fungus. CONCLUSIONS: Under high oxidative stress growth condition, the sclerotial biomass and carotenoid yield of PT95 strain in each plate culture reached 305 mg and 32.94 microg, which were 1.23 and 3.71 times higher, respectively, than those at low oxidative stress growth condition. These data prompted us to consider that in order to attain higher sclerotial biomass and pigment yield, the strain PT95 should be grown under high oxidative stress and in the absence of antioxidants. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: These results suggest that strain PT95 may be used for solid-state fermentation of carotenoid production under high oxidative stress growth conditions.     

Effect of oxidative stress and exogenous beta-carotene on sclerotial differentiation and carotenoid yield of Penicillium sp. PT95

AIMS: To determine the effect of oxidative stress and exogenous beta-carotene on sclerotial differentiation and carotenoid yield of Penicillium sp. PT95. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this experiment, high oxidative stress was applied by inclusion of FeCl(3) (10 micromol l(-1)) in the growth medium and by light exposure. Low oxidative stress was applied by omitting iron from the growth medium and by incubation in the dark. Supplementation of exogenous beta-carotene (as antioxidant) to the basal medium caused a concentration-dependent delay of sclerotial differentiation (up to 72 h), decrease of sclerotial biomass (up to 43%) and reduction of carotenoid yield (up to 92%). On the contrary, the exogenous beta-carotene also caused a concentration-dependent decrease of lipid peroxidation in colonies of this fungus. CONCLUSIONS: Under high oxidative stress growth condition, the sclerotial biomass and carotenoid yield of PT95 strain in each plate culture reached 141 mg and 30.03 microg, which were 1.53 and 3.51 times higher respectively, than that at low oxidative stress growth condition. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: These data prompted us to consider that in order to attain higher sclerotial biomass and pigment yield, the strain PT95 should be grown under high oxidative stress and in the absence of antioxidants.     

Effect of several elicitors on sclerotia biomass and carotenoid yield of Penicillium sp. PT95 during solid-state fermentation of corn meal

Six kinds of heat-released soluble cell-wall fragments (elicitors) were prepared respectively from Neurospora crassa, Monascus purpureus, Sporobolomyces roseus, Rhodotorula rubra, Nocardia corallina N89 and Actinoplanes tuftoflagellus A05. When Penicillium sp. PT95 was grown on corn meal (CM) solid medium containing appropriate amounts of elicitors, both its sclerotia biomass and the amount of carotenoid accumulated in sclerotia were enhanced significantly (P < 0.01). Every one of the elicitors except that fromM. purpureus could also increase significantly the β-carotene fraction of total pigment (P < 0.01). Among elicitors tested, the elicitor (150 μg/g CM) originating from R. rubra gave a maximum value of sclerotia biomass, reaching 15.90 g/100g CM; the elicitor (100 μg/g CM) from M. purpureus gave the highest total carotenoid of 14,446 μg/100 g CM and β-carotene yield of 10,112 μg/100 g CM, which were respectively 2.76 and 2.72 times higher than that of control. Experimental results also showed that the elicitor from M. purpureus could inhibit effectively the occurrence of sectoring during solid-state fermentation of strain PT95.
