Lactose is an interesting carbon source for the production of several bio-products by fermentation, primarily because it is the major component of cheese whey, the main by-product of dairy activities. However, the microorganism more widely used in industrial fermentation processes, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, does not have a lactose metabolization system. Therefore, several metabolic engineering approaches have been used to construct lactose-consuming S. cerevisiae strains, particularly involving the expression of the lactose genes of the phylogenetically related yeast Kluyveromyces lactis, but also the lactose genes from Escherichia coli and Aspergillus niger, as reviewed here. Due to the existing large amounts of whey, the production of bio-ethanol from lactose by engineered S. cerevisiae has been considered as a possible route for whey surplus. Emphasis is given in the present review on strain improvement for lactose-to-ethanol bioprocesses, namely flocculent yeast strains for continuous high-cell-density systems with enhanced ethanol productivity.  相似文献

Alcoholic fermentation of cheese whey permeate was investigated using a recombinant flocculating Saccharomyces cerevisiae, expressing the LAC4 (coding for beta-galactosidase) and LAC12 (coding for lactose permease) genes of Kluyveromyces marxianus enabling for lactose metabolization. Data on yeast fermentation and growth on cheese whey permeate from a Portuguese dairy industry is presented. For cheese whey permeate having a lactose concentration of 50 gL(-1), total lactose consumption was observed with a conversion yield of ethanol close to the expected theoretical value. Using a continuously operating 5.5-L bioreactor, ethanol productivity near 10 g L(-1) h(-1) (corresponding to 0.45 h(-1) dilution rate) was obtained, which raises new perspectives for the economic feasibility of whey alcoholic fermentation. The use of 2-times concentrated cheese whey permeate, corresponding to 100 gL(-1) of lactose concentration, was also considered allowing for obtaining a fermentation product with 5% (w/v) alcohol.  相似文献

The fermentation of lactose (Lac+) in the dairy yeast Kluyveromyces lactis var. lactis is controlled by the LAC4 (beta-galactosidase) and LAC12 (lactose permease) genes. The complementation analysis of twelve Kl. lactis var. drosophilarum natural homothallic Lac- strains of different origin was carried out using the genetic heterothallic lines of Kl. lactis var. lactis of the lac4LAC12 and LAC4lac12 genotypes. It was shown that the natural Lac- strains did not possess the LAC4LAC12 gene cluster. Southern hybridization of chromosomal DNA with LAC4 and LAC12 probes, as well as recombination analysis, showed that Kl. lactis var. drosophilarum yeasts do not have even silent copies of these genes. As distinct from this yeast, natural Lac- strains of the yeast Kl. marxianus are mutants impaired in the lactose permease gene (lac12 analogue), but possess an active beta-galactosidase gene (LAC4 analogue). The origin of the LAC4LAC12 gene cluster of the dairy yeasts Kl. lactis is discussed.  相似文献

Streptococcus lactis strain DR1251 was capable of growth on lactose and galactose with generation times, at 30 degrees C, of 42 and 52 min, respectively. Phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase activity for lactose and galactose was induced during growth on either substrate. This activity had an apparent K(m) of 5 x 10(-5) M for lactose and 2 x 10(-2) M for galactose. beta-d-Phosphogalactoside galactohydrolase activity was synthesized constitutively by these cells. Strain DR1251 lost the ability to grow on lactose at a high frequency when incubated at 37 degrees C with glucose as the growth substrate. Loss of ability to metabolize lactose was accompanied by the loss of a 32-megadalton plasmid, pDR(1), and Lac(-) isolates did not revert to a Lac(+) phenotype. Lac(-) strains were able to grow on galactose but with a longer generation time. Galactose-grown Lac(-) strains were deficient in beta-d-phosphogalactoside galactohydrolase activity and phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase activity for both lactose and galactose. There was also a shift from a predominantly homolactic to a heterolactic fermentation and a fivefold increase in galactokinase activity, relative to the Lac(+) parent strain grown on galactose. These results suggest that S. lactis strain DR1251 metabolizes galactose primarily via the tagatose-6-phosphate pathway, using a lactose phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase activity to transport this substrate into the cell. Lac(-) derivatives of strain DR1251, deficient in the lactose phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase activity, appeared to utilize galactose via the Leloir pathway.  相似文献

Objectives

Development of a system for direct lactose to ethanol fermentation provides a market for the massive amounts of underutilized whey permeate made by the dairy industry. For this system, glucose and galactose metabolism were uncoupled in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by deleting two negative regulatory genes, GAL80 and MIG1, and introducing the essential lactose hydrolase LAC4 and lactose transporter LAC12, from the native but inefficient lactose fermenting yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus.

Results

Previously, integration of the LAC4 and LAC12 genes into the MIG1 and NTH1 loci was achieved to construct strain AY-51024M. Low rates of lactose conversion led us to generate the Δmig1Δgal80 diploid mutant strain AY-GM from AY-5, which exhibited loss of diauxic growth and glucose repression, subsequently taking up galactose for consumption at a significantly higher rate and yielding higher ethanol concentrations than strain AY-51024M. Similarly, in cheese whey permeate powder solution (CWPS) during three, repeated, batch processes in a 5L bioreactor containing either 100 g/L or 150 g/L lactose, the lactose uptake and ethanol productivity rates were both significantly greater than that of AY-51024M, while the overall fermentation times were considerably lower.

Conclusions

Using the Cre-loxp system for deletion of the MIG1 and GAL80 genes to relieve glucose repression, and LAC4 and LAC12 overexpression to increase lactose uptake and conversion provides an efficient basis for yeast fermentation of whey permeate by-product into ethanol.

AIMS: To test the suitability of cheese whey powder (CWP) solution for ethanol fermentation and to compare performances of different Kluyveromyces marxianus strains for ethanol fermentation from CWP solution. METHODS AND RESULTS: Batch ethanol fermentation of cheese whey (CW), CWP and lactose solutions with the same initial sugar contents were compared by using two different K. marxianus strains and the CWP solution was found to be the most suitable substrate. CWP solution was fermented to ethanol using three different yeast strains and DSMZ-7239 was found to be the most suitable one yielding the highest rate and extent (3.3%, v/v) of ethanol formation. CONCLUSIONS: CWP solution and K. marxianus strain of DSMZ-7239 were found to be more suitable for ethanol fermentation with the highest ethanol yield when compared with the other substrates and the yeast strains tested. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: CWP can be used as a concentrated form of CW for ethanol fermentations with considerable advantages.  相似文献

Recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains expressing β-glucosidases from Thermoascus aurantiacus (Tabgl1) and Phanerochaete chrysosporium (PcbglB and Pccbgl1) were constructed and compared to S. cerevisiae Y294[SFI], previously identified as the best β-glucosidase-producing strain. The PcbglB was also intracellularly expressed in combination with the lac12 lactose permease of Kluyveromyces lactis in S. cerevisiae Y294[PcbglB?+?Lac12]. The recombinant extracellular β-glucosidases indicated maximum activity in the pH range 4-5 and temperature optima varying from 50 to 75?°C. The S.?cerevisiae Y294[Pccbgl1] strain performed best under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, producing 2.6 times more β-glucosidase activity than S. cerevisiae Y294[SFI] and an ethanol concentration of 4.8?g?l(-1) after 24?h of cultivation on cellobiose as sole carbohydrate source. S. cerevisiae Y294[Tabgl1] was unable to grow on cellobiose (liquid medium), whereas S. cerevisiae Y294[PcbglB?+?Lac12] exhibited limited growth.  相似文献

Using a functional complementation strategy, we have isolated a Schistosoma mansoni cDNA that complemented Escherichia coli mutant strains which are defective in the DNA base excision repair pathway. This cDNA partially complemented the MMS-sensitive phenotype of these strains. The sequence of the isolated cDNA was homologous to genes involved in the RNA metabolism pathway, especially ScIMP4 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To establish whether the S. mansoni cDNA clone could complement yeast ScIMP4-defective mutants, we constructed a yeast haploid strain that coded for a truncated Imp4p protein. This mutant strain was treated with different DNA damaging agents, but showed only MMS sensitivity. The functional homology between the ScIMP4 gene and the cDNA from S. mansoni was verified by partial complementation of the mutant yeast with the worm's gene. This gene appears to be involved in DNA repair and RNA metabolism in both S. mansoni and S. cerevisiae.  相似文献

Due to its high content of lactose and abundant availability, cheese whey powder (CWP) has received much attention for ethanol production in fermentation processes. However, lactose‐fermenting yeast strains including Kluyveromyces marxianus can only produce alcohol at a relatively low level, while the most commonly used distiller yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae cannot ferment lactose since it lacks both β‐galactosidase and the lactose permease system. To combine the unique aspects of these two yeast strains, hybrids of K. marxianus TY‐22 and S. cerevisiae AY‐5 were constructed by protoplast fusion. The fusants were screened and characterized by DNA content, β‐galactosidase activity, ethanol tolerance, and ethanol productivity. Among the genetically stable fusants, the DNA content of strain R‐1 was 6.94%, close to the sum of the DNA contents of TY‐22 (3.99%) and AY‐5 (3.51%). The results obtained by random‐amplified polymorphic DNA analysis suggested that R‐1 was a fusant between AY‐5 and TY‐22. During the fermentation process with CWP, the hybrid strain R‐1 produced 3.8% v/v ethanol in 72 h, while the parental strain TY‐22 only produced 3.1% v/v ethanol in 84 h under the same conditions.  相似文献

Fourteen lactose-fermenting strains of Kluyveromyces marxianus , including its anamorph, Candida kefyr , were grown in two media containing 20% (w/v) sugar as either beet molasses or cheese whey. Strain NBRC 1963 of K. marxianus converted sucrose and lactose to ethanol in both media most efficiently. However, ethanol was produced from sucrose and not from lactose by strain NBRC 1963 in the medium containing equal amounts of sugar from beet molasses and cheese whey. The spontaneous mutants resistant to 2-deoxyglucose in the minimal medium composed of galactose as the sole carbon source were isolated from strain NBRC 1963. Among them, strain KD-15 vigorously produced ethanol in the media containing beet molasses, cheese whey, or both. The mutant strain KD-15 was insensitive to catabolite repression, as shown by the observation that β-galactosidase was not repressed in the presence of sucrose from beet molasses.  相似文献

Cottage cheese whey is a cheese industry by-product still rich in proteins and lactose. Its recycling is seldom cost-effective. In this work we show that the lactose-utilizing yeast Kluyveromyces lactis, engineered for production of recombinant human lysozyme, can be grown in cottage cheese whey, resulting in high-level production of the heterologous protein (125 microg/ml).  相似文献

The lactose in cheese whey is an interesting substrate for the production of bulk commodities such as bio-ethanol, due to the large amounts of whey surplus generated globally. In this work, we studied the performance of a recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain expressing the lactose permease and intracellular ß-galactosidase from Kluyveromyces lactis in fermentations of deproteinized concentrated cheese whey powder solutions. Supplementation with 10 g/l of corn steep liquor significantly enhanced whey fermentation, resulting in the production of 7.4% (v/v) ethanol from 150 g/l initial lactose in shake-flask fermentations, with a corresponding productivity of 1.2 g/l/h. The flocculation capacity of the yeast strain enabled stable operation of a repeated-batch process in a 5.5-l air-lift bioreactor, with simple biomass recycling by sedimentation of the yeast flocs. During five consecutive batches, the average ethanol productivity was 0.65 g/l/h and ethanol accumulated up to 8% (v/v) with lactose-to-ethanol conversion yields over 80% of theoretical. Yeast viability (>97%) and plasmid retention (>84%) remained high throughout the operation, demonstrating the stability and robustness of the strain. In addition, the easy and inexpensive recycle of the yeast biomass for repeated utilization makes this process economically attractive for industrial implementation.  相似文献

In this article a hydrodynamic and rheological analysis of a continuous airlift bioreactor with high-cell-density system is presented. A highly flocculating recombinant strain of Sacharomyces cerevisiae containing genes for lactose transport (lactose permease) and hydrolysis (beta-galactosidase) was exploited to ferment lactose from cheese whey to ethanol. The magnetic particle-tracer method was used to assess the effect of operational conditions (air-flow rate, biomass concentration) on hydrodynamic behavior of an airlift bioreactor during the fermentation process. Measurements of liquid circulation velocity showed the existence of a critical value of biomass concentration at which a dramatic deceleration of net liquid flow appeared with increasing biomass quantity. Rheological analysis revealed exponential increase of viscosity of the yeast floc suspension at the same biomass concentration of about 73 g/dm3 corresponding to 42.8% v/v of solid fraction. These facts have a particular importance for the successful processing of a high-cell-density airlift bioreactor as only a circulated flow regime will be favorable to keep the solid particles in suspension state and evenly distributed throughout the bioreactor.  相似文献

Cheese whey and cottage cheese whey are by-products of the milk and cheese industry, resulting from the production of cheese and cottage cheese (ricotta) from milk. They are still rich in organic substances and cannot be discarded into the environment without proper treatment. Whey and cottage cheese whey were used as culture media for some strains of the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis, transformed with the human lysozyme gene. It was found that the yeast strains grew well in both media and produced a considerable amount of recombinant protein. Production kinetics showed that the human lysozyme was produced in a greater amount within 36 h of fermentation (125 micrograms ml-1 vs 25 micrograms ml-1 in the control) than in the synthetic commercial media used for strain preparation and characterization. The recombinant protein produced was actually shown to be the human lysozyme, using renaturing SDS-PAGE and Western blot techniques. While producing recombinant protein, the Kluyveromyces strain cleared the cottage cheese whey of most organic substances and produced a considerable amount (almost 3%) of lysozyme-enriched useful biomass.  相似文献

Thirteen yeast species belonging to nine genera were screened for the production of single-cell protein (SCP) using cheese whey as the substrate. Cheese whey supplemented with minerals and yeast extract proved to the best medium for yield, lactose utilization, biomass production, and conversion efficiency. Production of beta-galactosidase was studied in Brettanomyces anomalus, Kluyveromyces fragilis, Trichosporon cutaneum, and Wingea robertsii; the last proved to be the best strain combining high yield with shorter incubation period.  相似文献
