Culture conditions for intracellular lipase production by Rhizopus chinensis and its immobilization within biomass support particles

Acetone-dried cells of Rhizopus chinensis (with a 1,3-positional specificity lipase) were investigated for the interestierification reaction of olive oil and methyl stearate. First, the culture conditions for intracellular lipase production were examined, and then the activities of dried cells obtained from immobilization in Biomass Support Particles (BSPs) were compared with those of freely suspended cells.It was clear from cultivation of freely suspended cells that intracellular lipase activity for the interesterification reaction was enhanced sifnificantly by the presence of oleic acid, oil, and tea oil, but that the presence of glucose reduced the activity.The specific activity of dried cells within BSPs increased 7-fold compared with that obrained from freely suspended cells.The process presented here, using immobilization within BSPs, can provide cells directly as a catalyst with high activity, where cells become immobilized simply during batch operation, and no special preparation of cells is necessary. Therefore, the reaction system using dried cells immobilized within BSPs is a promising interesterifcation process for industrial applications.

Membrane-bound 'synthetic lipase' specifically cultured under solid-state fermentation and submerged fermentation by Rhizopus chinensis: a comparative investigation

Rhizopus chinensis was able to produce synthetic lipases under both solid-state and submerged fermentations. These lipases were extracted from cell membrane using Triton X-100, and purified to homogeneity through ammonium sulfate precipitation, hydrophobic interaction chromatography and gel filtration chromatography. Judging from SDS-PAGE, the specific synthetic lipases associated with SSF (named as SSL) and SmF (named as SML) were different in the apparent molecular mass (62 and 40kDa). In term of hydrolytic activity, both enzymes exhibited maximum values at pH 8.0 and 40 degrees C; SSL appeared to be more pH tolerant and thermostable than SML. PMSF negligibly affected SSL but strongly reduced the activity of SML. Both enzymes showed clear preference for long-chained p-nitrophenyl esters, yielding maximum activity towards p-nitrophenyl palmitate (with SSL) and p-nitrophenyl laurate (with SML). In term of synthetic activity, lyophilized enzymes gave the highest values both at 30 degrees C, but at different pH memories (7.5 for SSL and 6.5 for SML). Most of ethyl esters synthesized by the two enzymes achieved good yields (>90%), and tetradecanoic acid and laurate acid separately served as the best acyl donors.     

Yeast whole-cell biocatalyst constructed by intracellular overproduction of Rhizopus oryzae lipase is applicable to biodiesel fuel production

Yeast whole-cell biocatalysts for lipase-catalyzed reactions were constructed by intracellularly overproducing Rhizopus oryzae lipase (ROL) in Saccharomvces cerevisiae MT8-1. The gene encoding lipase from R. orvzae IFO4697 was cloned, and intracellular overproduction systems of a recombinant ROL with a pro-sequence (rProROL) were constructed. When rProROL from R. oryzae IFO4697 was produced under the control of the 5'-upstream region of the isocitrate lyase gene of Candida tropicalis (UPR-ICL) at 30 degrees C for 98 h by two-stage cultivation using SDC medium (SD medium with 2% casamino acids) containing 2.0% and 0.5% glucose, intracellular lipase activity reached levels up to 474.5 IU/l. These whole-cell biocatalysts were permeabilized by air-drying and used for the synthesis of methyl esters (MEs), a potential biodiesel fuel, from plant oil and methanol in a solvent-free and water-containing system. The ME content in the reaction mixture was 71 wt% after a 165-h reaction at 37 degrres C with stepwise addition of methanol. These results indicate that an efficient whole-cell biocatalyst can be prepared by intracellular overproduction of lipase in yeast cells and their permeabilization.     

Protease production by Rhizopus oligosporus in solid-state fermentation

Rice bran was superior to other proteinaceous substrates for protease production by Rhizopus oligosporus ACM 145F in solid-state fermentation. Maximum protease yield was after 72 h. The optimal initial moisture content was 47% (a_w=0.97). Dried, ground and resuspended fermented rice was the most pratical and effective inoculum preparation, although, in the laboratory, spore suspensions prepared directly from agar slants were more convenient. Inoculum density (from 10² to 10⁷ spores/g substrate) and age (3, 5, 7 and 9 days) had little effect on protease yield.The authors are with the Department of Chemical Engineering, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, 4072, Australia

华根霉脂肪酶有机相合成酶活的研究

通过比较7种微生物脂肪酶的有机相合成酶活、水相水解酶活及在正庚烷中催化己酸乙酯合成的能力,证明了合成酶活与水解酶活相关性不高,合成酶活比水解酶活更能反映脂肪酶的合成能力。通过比较两株华根霉(Rhizopus chinensis)脂肪酶酶活,发现合成酶活相差较大,表明相同种属微生物的脂肪酶合成酶活存在不同。对．Rhizopus chinensis-2液态发酵产脂肪酶进程研究发现,水解酶活高峰先于合成酶活高峰大约12h。将不同培养时间的Rhizopus chinensis-2全细胞脂肪酶用于催化己酸乙酯合成,具有高合成酶活的全细胞脂肪酶催化己酸乙酯合成反应较快。因此,全细胞脂肪酶用于催化有机相酯合成反应时,具有高脂肪酶合成酶活的菌体具有较好的催化酯合成能力。     

Culture medium improvement for Isaria fumosorosea submerged conidia production

Submerged conidia and blastospores of the entomopathogenic fungus Isaria fumosorosea are produced in several liquid culture media. However, yields and the ecological fitness of these propagules vary according to culture media composition. In most culture media, hyphae, blastospores and submerged conidia are white but we found that in some media they develop a brown pigmentation. A dark pigment was extracted from brown-pigmented propagules and analyzed by IR spectroscopy. Adsorption bands coincided to those characteristics of melanins.Hadamard's matrices were employed in order to increase submerged conidia yields and brown pigmentation of fungal propagules. Media containing 20–30 mg/l of FeSO₄·7H₂O and 6–12 mg/l of CuSO₄·5H₂O allowed reaching the highest pigmentation (9 in a hedonic scale). A maximal concentration of submerged conidia of 1.0 (±1.2) × 10¹² cell/l was achieved after 120 h of liquid culture in a improved culture medium, containing 25 ml/l of Polyethylene glycol (MW 200), substance which enhanced submerged conidia production, reducing free mycelia or mycelial pellets formation. In the improved medium, it was estimated that more than 60% of produced biomass corresponded to submerged conidia and blastospores, while in other media, mycelia were the main product (80–97%).     

Improved phytase production by a thermophilic mould Sporotrichum thermophile in submerged fermentation due to statistical optimization

Culture variables affecting phytase production by a thermophilic mould Sporotrichum thermophile in submerged fermentation were optimized. Soluble starch, peptone, Tween-80 and sodium phytate were identified by Plackett-Burman design as the most significant factors to affect phytase production. The 2(4) full factorial central composite design of response surface methodology was applied for optimizing the concentrations of the significant variables and to delineate their interactions. Starch, Tween-80, peptone and sodium phytate at 0.4%, 1.0%, 0.3% and 0.3% supported maximum enzyme titres, respectively. An overall 3.73-fold improvement in phytase production was achieved due to optimization. When sodium phytate was substituted with wheat bran (3%), the phytase titre in the former was comparable with that in the latter.     

Novel minor lipase from Rhizopus chinensis during solid-state fermentation: Biochemical characterization and its esterification potential for ester synthesis

Rhizopus chinensis produces two lipases that catalyze ester synthesis when cultured under solid-state fermentation. The Lip2 was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulphate precipitation, hydrophobic interaction chromatography and gel filtration chromatography. It has an apparent molecular weight of 33 kDa estimated from SDS–PAGE and 32 kDa calculated from analytical gel permeation, with synthetic activity and purification fold of 96.8 U/mg and 138.3, respectively. Maximum hydrolytic activity was obtained at pH 8.0–8.5 and 40 °C using pNPP as substrate. Slight activation of the enzyme was observed when Mn²⁺ is present. The enzyme was most active on p-nitrophenyl laurate (C12). The purified lipase exhibited maximum synthetic activity at pH memory of 6.0 and 30 ^oC. Most of ethyl esters synthesized by lyophilized enzyme achieved good yields (>90%), and caprylic acid served as the best acyl donor. The enzyme presented a particular affinity for ethanol, n-propanol and n-hexanol, with conversion of 92%, 93% and 92%, respectively, after 20 h incubation.     

Comparing submerged and solid-state fermentation of agro-industrial residues for the production and characterization of lipase by Trichoderma harzianum

Lipase production by Trichoderma harzianum was evaluated in submerged fermentation (SF) and solid-state fermentation (SSF) using a variety of agro-industrial residues. Cultures in SF showed the highest activity (1.4 U/mL) in medium containing 0.5 % (w/v) yeast extract, 1 % (v/v) olive oil and 2.5 C:N ratio. This paper is the first to report lipase production by T. harzianum in SSF. A 1:2 mixture of castor oil cake and sugarcane bagasse supplemented with 1 % (v/w) olive oil showed the best results among the cultures in SSF (4 U/g ds). Lipolytic activity was stable in a slightly acidic to neutral pH, maintaining 50 % activity after 30 min at 50 °C. Eighty percent of the activity remained after 1 h in 25 % (v/v) methanol, ethanol, isopropanol or acetone. Activity was observed with vegetable oils (olive, soybean, corn and sunflower) and long-chain triacylglycerols (triolein), confirming the presence of a true lipase. The results of this study are promising because they demonstrate an enzyme with interesting properties for application in catalysis produced by fermentation at low cost.

Enhanced thermostability of a Rhizopus chinensis lipase by in vivo recombination in Pichia pastoris

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Lipase from Rhizopus chinensis is a versatile biocatalyst for various bioconversions and has been expressed at high-level in Pichia pastoris. However, the use of R. chinensis lipase in industrial applications is restricted by its low thermostability. Directed evolution has been proven to be a powerful and efficient protein engineering tool for improvement of biocatalysts. The present work describes improvement of the thermostability of R. chinensis lipase by directed evolution using P. pastoris as the host. RESULTS: An efficient, fast and highly simplified method was developed to create a mutant gene library in P. pastoris based on in vivo recombination, whose recombination efficiency could reach 2.3 x 105 /mug DNA. The thermostability of r27RCL was improved significantly by two rounds of error-prone PCR and two rounds of DNA shuffling in P. pastoris. The S4-3 variant was found to be the most thermostable lipase, under the conditions tested. Compared with the parent, the optimum temperature of S4-3 was two degrees higher, Tm was 22 degrees higher and half-lives at 60degreesC and 65degreesC were 46- and 23- times longer. Moreover, the catalytic efficiency kcat/Km of S4-3 was comparable to the parent. Stabilizing mutations probably increased thermostability by increasing the hydrophilicity and polarity of the protein surface and creating hydrophobic contacts inside the protein. CONCLUSIONS: P. pastoris was shown to be a valuable cell factory to improve thermostability of enzymes by directed evolution and it also could be used for improving other properties of enzymes. In this study, by using P. pastoris as a host to build mutant pool, we succeeded in obtaining a thermostable variant S4-3 without compromising enzyme activity and making it a highly promising candidate for future applications at high temperatures.     

Saccharina japonica,a potential feedstock for pigment production using submerged fermentation

In this study, the feasibility and applicability of marine algal biomass Saccharina (Laminaria) japonica as a sole substrate for the production of pigments by Talaromyces amestolkiae GT11 in submerged fermentation was evaluated. Results indicated that the fungus T. amestolkiae GT11 produced the highest amount of extracellular yellow (444.83 ± 22) and red (200.94 ± 12), and intracellular yellow (362.28 ± 34) and red (193.87 ± 10) pigments, utilizing 1% (w/v) of S. japonica powder at an initial pH of 5 and 30°C, as compared to other physiochemical parameters tested. The pH and thermostability analysis results demonstrated that even after 5 h of incubation the pigment was found to be highly stable at pH 6 and 40 ~ 60°C with 98% and 90.56 ~ 84.69% of residual absorbance, respectively. Apart from the application of pigment as a natural colorant instead of synthetic one in biotechnology industry, the fermented substrate itself can be exploited as food and feed with enhanced nutrient content, improved protein quality and fiber digestibility, etc. However, further studies concerning the safety and functional properties of the pigment and fermented substrate are required. Furthermore, this study provides the evidences about the biological method of making easily fermentable biomass for biorefiners or other metabolite production.

Invertase production by Aspergillus niger in submerged and solid-state fermentation

Three Aspergillus nigerstrains were grown in submerged and solid state fermentation systems with sucrose at 100 g l^–1. Average measurements of all strains, liquid vs solid were: final biomass (g l^–1), 11 ± 0.3 vs 34 ± 5; maximal enzyme titres (U l^–1) 1180 ± 138 vs 3663 ± 732; enzyme productivity (U l^–1h^–1) 20 ± 2 vs 87 ± 33 and enzyme yields (U/gX) 128 ± 24 vs 138 ± 72. Hence, better productivity in solid-state was due to a better mould growth.
