通气量对气升式反应器培养高山被孢霉生产花生四烯酸的影响

高山被孢霉具有很强的积累花生四烯酸(ARA)的能力,通过对30 L气升式反应器发酵过程的通气量进行调控,结果发现:通气量对高山被孢霉菌体生长、形态及ARA合成具有显著影响。中等大小的球形菌丝形态有利于菌体持续生长和油脂积累,ARA占总油脂的含量最高,而羽状菌丝形态菌体中总油脂含量和ARA含量均小于球形菌丝形态菌体中的含量。通气量为1.0 vvm(1 vvm为每分钟通气量与罐体实际料液体积之比)时有利于菌体保持良好形态和生长,通气量为1.4 vvm有利于发酵对数期后(72~168 h)ARA的积累。提出一种两阶段通气量控制策略,在气升式发酵罐中高山被孢霉的菌丝形态得到显著改善,ARA产量达到4.72 g/L,比对照提高了40.1%。

高山被孢霉发酵生产花生四烯酸的宏观形态

采用图像处理技术对高山被孢霉(Mortierella alpina)发酵过程中的不同形态进行分析,并对其产花生四烯酸(ARA)能力进行了比较。研究发现:复合N源中蛋白胨与酵母粉比例是影响高山被孢霉宏观形态的重要因素,球形形态生长的菌体中ARA产量较分散,菌丝体中ARA产量高;在球形形态中,空心球的菌体生物量低,ARA比例低,蓬松球可以兼顾菌体高生物量、高油脂比例及高ARA比例。产ARA能力由生物量、油脂比例及油脂中ARA比例共同决定。结果表明:直径大约4 mm、成核区域面积大约为43.6%、紧密度为71.36的蓬松球形态,是高山被孢霉一种相对较佳的发酵形态,其菌体产ARA能力分别是空心球和分散丝状菌体产ARA能力的2.01和2.70倍。

Heart arachidonic acid is uniquely sensitive to dietary arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid content in domestic piglets

This study determined the sensitivity of heart and brain arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to the dietary ARA level in a dose–response design with constant, high DHA in neonatal piglets. On day 3 of age, pigs were assigned to 1 of 6 dietary formulas varying in ARA/DHA as follows (% fatty acid, FA/FA): (A1) 0.1/1.0; (A2) 0.53/1.0; (A3–D3) 0.69/1.0; (A4) 1.1/1.0; (D2) 0.67/0.62; and (D1) 0.66/0.33. At necropsy (day 28) higher levels of dietary ARA were associated with increased heart and liver ARA, while brain ARA remained unaffected. Dietary ARA had no effect on tissue DHA accretion. Heart was particularly sensitive, with pigs in the intermediate groups having different ARA (A2, 18.6±0.7%; A3, 19.4±1.0%) and a 0.17% increase in dietary ARA resulted in a 0.84% increase in heart ARA. Further investigations are warranted to determine the clinical significance of heart ARA status in developing neonates.     

Growth-Coupled Lipid Synthesis in Mortierella alpina LPM 301, a Producer of Arachidonic Acid

Mortierella alpina LPM 301, a producer of arachidonic acid (ARA), was found to possess a unique property of intense lipid synthesis in the period of active mycelium growth. Under batch cultivation of this strain in glucose-containing media with potassium nitrate or urea, the bulk of lipids (28–35% of dry biomass) was produced at the end of the exponential growth phase and remained almost unaltered in the stationary phase. The ARA content of lipids comprised 42–50% at the beginning of the stationary phase and increased continuously after glucose depletion in the medium due to the turnover of intracellular fatty acids; by the end of fermentation (189–210 h), the amount of ARA reached 46–60% of the total fatty acids (16–19% of dry mycelium). Plausible regulatory mechanisms of the growth-coupled lipid synthesis in microorganisms are discussed.     

Improving arachidonic acid fermentation by Mortierella alpina through multistage temperature and aeration rate control in bioreactor

Effective production of arachidonic acid (ARA) using Mortierella alpina was conducted in a 30-L airlift bioreactor. Varying the aeration rate and temperature significantly influenced cell morphology, cell growth, and ARA production, while the optimal aeration rate and temperature for cell growth and product formation were quite different. As a result, a two-stage aeration rate control strategy was constructed based on monitoring of cell morphology and ARA production under various aeration rate control levels (0.6–1.8 vvm). Using this strategy, ARA yield reached 4.7 g/L, an increase of 38.2% compared with the control (constant aeration rate control at 1.0 vvm). Dynamic temperature-control strategy was implemented based on the fermentation performance at various temperatures (13–28°C), with ARA level in total cellular lipid increased by 37.1% comparing to a constant-temperature control (25°C). On that basis, the combinatorial fermentation strategy of two-stage aeration rate control and dynamic temperature control was applied and ARA production achieved the highest level of 5.8 g/L.

Exogenous arachidonic acid mediates permeability of human brain microvessel endothelial cells through prostaglandin E2 activation of EP3 and EP4 receptors

The blood–brain barrier, formed by microvessel endothelial cells, is the restrictive barrier between the brain parenchyma and the circulating blood. Arachidonic acid (ARA; 5,8,11,14‐cis‐eicosatetraenoic acid) is a conditionally essential polyunsaturated fatty acid [20:4(n ? 6)] and is a major constituent of brain lipids. The current study examined the transport processes for ARA in confluent monolayers of human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC). Addition of radioactive ARA to the apical compartment of HBMEC cultured on Transwell^® inserts resulted in rapid incorporation of radioactivity into the basolateral medium. Knock down of fatty acid transport proteins did not alter ARA passage into the basolateral medium as a result of the rapid generation of prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂), an eicosanoid known to facilitate opening of the blood–brain barrier. Permeability following ARA or PGE₂ exposure was confirmed by an increased movement of fluorescein‐labeled dextran from apical to basolateral medium. ARA‐mediated permeability was attenuated by specific cyclooxygenase‐2 inhibitors. EP₃ and EP₄ receptor antagonists attenuated the ARA‐mediated permeability of HBMEC. The results indicate that ARA increases permeability of HBMEC monolayers likely via increased production of PGE₂ which acts upon EP₃ and EP₄ receptors to mediate permeability. These observations may explain the rapid influx of ARA into the brain previously observed upon plasma infusion with ARA.

     

Production of arachidonic acid byMortierella fungi

The growing interest in the application of arachidonic acid (ARA) in various fields of health and dietary requirements has elicited much attention on the industrial production of ARA-containing oil by the cultivation ofMortierella fungi. For the industrial production of ARA, various studies, such as isolation of a high-potential strain and optimization of culture conditions, have been conducted. Studies including the investigation of morphology are important because ARA is accumulated in the mycelia, and thus cultivation with high biomass concentration is essential for obtaining a high ARA yield. Combining the results derived from various studies, a high ARA yield was attained in an industrial fermentor. These ARA production techniques are applicable to the production of other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and will contribute to the improvement of fermentation technology especially in the field of fungal cultivation.
