The Oxidation of 14C-labelled Glucose by Chlorella vulgaris: 1. The Time Course of 14CO2 Production

Glucose, either uniformly labelled with¹⁴C, or specificallylabelled in the I, 2, or 6 position, was added to C. vulgaris.Radio-active carbon dioxide was produced initially ten timesfaster from glucose-I-¹⁴C than from glucose-6-¹⁴C. This differencewas found with carbohydrate-starved cultures, exponentiallygrowing cultures, and cultures assimilating ammonia or nitraterapidly. A similar difference was also found with C. pyrenoidosaand Ankistrodesmus. 37 per cent. of the ¹⁴C added as glucose-¹-¹⁴Cto exponentially growing cells was recovered as carbon dioxidebut generally the recovery was less than this. Only 5 per cent.of ¹⁴C added as glucose-6-¹⁴C was recovered as carbon dioxide.The specific activity of the carbon dioxide produced was considerablylower than that of the carbon in the added glucose.     

A Possible Role for Urease as a Storage Protein in Aspergillus tamarii

A marked decrease in mycelial urease activity during the endogenousphase of undifferentiated Aspergillus tamariicultures was foundto be independent of preparative procedures but related to thedepletion of external nutrients. The enzyme, which was synthesizedduring the active growth stage, was produced in similar quantitieswith ammonium or urea as sole nitrogen source and at its peakrepresented c. 8·5 per cent of the total soluble proteinpool of the mycelium. It was found to show maximum activityat pH 8·20–8·65 when measured in cell-free,phosphate-buffered extracts. Isolation of urease from differentstages of the endogenous phase by affinity chromatography hasshown that the observed decrease in activity was due to breakdownof the enzyme protein in mature cultures, followed by the progressivedeactivation of residual enzyme during the autolytic stage.Since selective inhibition of 80–90 per cent of activityby acetohydroxamic acid in media containing urea as the onlynitrogen source or total repression of urease synthesis by L-histidinein ammonium-grown cultures did not interfere with normal growth,it was concluded that in A. tamarii urease fulfils the functionof a storage protein with a measure of catalytic activity.

The effect of growth medium on the antioxidant defense of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Saccharomyces cerevisiae</Emphasis>

We compared the oxidation of dihydrorhodamine 123, glutathione contents and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase for three wild-type strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown on media with different carbon sources. The rate of oxidation of dihydrorhodamine 123 was much higher in respiring cells grown on ethanol or glycerol media than in fermenting cells grown on glucose medium. The total SOD activity was highest on glycerol medium and lowest on ethanol medium, while the catalase activity was highest on glycerol medium. The sequence of glutathione content values was: glucose > ethanol > glycerol.     

Influence of growth rate on the accumulation of ergosterol in yeast-cells in a phosphate limited continuous culture

Summary The influence of the growth rate on the accumulation of ergosterol inSaccharomyces cerevisiae was studied with glucose and ethanol as substrates under P-limitation in chemostat experiments. In cultures with glucose as carbon source a decrease in ergosterol content with dilution rates up to 0.08 h^–1 was observed, whereas above this dilution rate an increase in ergosterol content occurred. Similar but less marked effects were attained with ethanol as carbon source. A maximum specific rate of ergosterol synthesis of about 2.4 mg per h and g dry cell mass was calculated for phosphorus limited cultures.     

Evidence of peroxisomes and peroxisomal enzyme activities in the oleaginous yeast Apiotrichum curvatum

The presence of peroxisomes and peroxisomal enzyme activities were investigated in the oleaginous yeast Apiotrichum curvatum ATCC 20509 (formerly Candida curvata D.) Catalase, a marker enzyme for peroxisomes, was measured in cell-free extracts prepared by sonication. The nature of the carbon and nitrogen sources in the growth medium greatly affected catalase activity. Cells grown on corn oil had high specific activity of catalase, but those grown on glucose, sucrose, or maltose had low specific activity. High specific activity of catalase was measured in cultures grown on media that supported poor growth (with soluble starch as carbon source or with methylamine, urea, or asparagine as nitrogen source). Peroxisomes from cells grown on corn oil were separated from other subcellular fractions in a discontinuous sucrose gradient. Major peaks of activity of fatty acid beta-oxidation and of two key enzymes in the glyoxylate cycle were found in fractions containing peroxisomes, but not in fractions corresponding to the mitochondria. Peroxisomal beta-oxidation showed equivalent activity with palmitoyl CoA or n-octanoyl CoA as substrate. Mitochondria did not seem to contain NAD-linked glutamate dehydrogenase. Peroxisomes with a homogeneous matrix and core surrounded by a single-layer membrane were observed with an electron microscope in cells grown on corn oil, but not in those grown on glucose. Staining with 3,3'-diaminobenzidine revealed that catalase activity was located in peroxisomes. Peroxisomes in this oleaginous yeast play important roles in lipid metabolism.     

Physiological characterisation of a pyruvate-carboxylase-negative Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant in batch and chemostat cultures

A prototrophic pyruvate-carboxylase-negative (Pyc-) mutant was constructed by deleting the PYC1 and PYC2 genes in a CEN.PK strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Its maximum specific growth rate on ethanol was identical to that of the isogenic wild type but it was unable to grow in batch cultures in glucose-ammonia media. Consistent with earlier reports, growth on glucose could be restored by supplying aspartate as a sole nitrogen source. Ethanol could not replace aspartate as a source of oxaloacetate in batch cultures. To investigate whether alleviation of glucose repression allowed expression of alternative pathways for oxaloacetate synthesis, the Pyc- strain and an isogenic wild-type strain were grown in aerobic carbon-limited chemostat cultures at a dilution rate of 0.10 h-1 on mixtures of glucose and ethanol. In such mixed-substrate chemostat cultures of the Pyc- strain, steady-state growth could only be obtained when ethanol contributed 30% or more of the substrate carbon in the feed. Attempts to further decrease the ethanol content of the feed invariably resulted in washout. In Pyc- as well as in wild-type cultures, levels of isocitrate lyase, malate synthase and phospho-enol-pyruvate carboxykinase in cell extracts decreased with a decreasing ethanol content in the feed. Nevertheless, at the lowest ethanol fraction that supported growth of the Pyc- mutant, activities of the glyoxylate cycle enzymes in cell extracts were still sufficient to meet the requirement for C4-compounds in biomass synthesis. This suggests that factors other than glucose repression of alternative routes for oxaloacetate synthesis prevent growth of Pyc-mutants on glucose.     

Nitrogen Fixation in the Phyllosphere of Tropical Plants: Occurrence of Phyllosphere Nitrogen-Fixing Micro-organisms in Eastern India and their Utility for the Growth and Nitrogen Nutrition of Host Plants

Of the 560 leaf samples belonging to 259 species of green plantsexamined more than 50 per cent of the Angiosperms and 25 percent of the Pteridophytes and Gymnosperms revealed the presenceof N₂-fixing micro-organisms in their phyllosphere. Plants particularlyremarkable in this respect are orchids and several other epiphytes,Scindapsus officinalis, Ficus and cucurbits. Most of the isolatesappear to be biotypes of Klebsiella pneumoniae. The more activestrains fixed more than 5 mg N g^–1 glucose utilized andreduced more than 100 nmol C₂H₂ mg^–1 cell d. w h^–1. The efficacy of the phyllosphere N₂-fixing isolates for N-nutritionof host plants was studied by spraying suspensions of the culturesgrown on N-free media on rice and wheat seedlings. In IR-26rice or Sonalika and Janak wheat grown on soil in wooden flatsor earthenware pots, 22 per cent of the 161 cultures studiedcaused increased height and about three-quarters of the culturesenhanced dry weight by more than 50 per cent; chlorophyll andN-contents were enhanced more than 50 per cent by about halfand two-thirds of the cultures respectively. In N-free sandculture 26 of the 50 promising strains doubled N-content, and30 doubled dry weight of the tested plants. In some cases dryweight, number of grains per panicle, and 1000 grain weightwere increased by 300, 70–83 and 126–158 per centrespectively; N-content of straw and seed was increased three-or fourfold. In several cases the beneficial effects were foundto match closely the performance of plants receiving ammoniumsulphate.

Overcoming Incompatibility in Brassica campestris L. by Carbon Dioxide, and Dark Fixation of the Gas by Self- and Cross-pollinated Pistils

Supplementing pollen suspension cultures with CO₂ (3–5per cent) caused a marked increase in germination and tube growthin vitro in Brassica campestris L. cv. toria. A weakening ofself-incompatibility by increased CO₂ levels from 3–5per cent was observed. The percentage of pollen tubes whichpenetrated the cuticle layer of stigmatic papilla cells in self-pollinatedpistils was high when CO₂ level was 5 per cent. Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylase activity was greater in the pollengerminated in 4 per cent CO₂ as compared to air (0.03 per cent).A possible role of CO₂ for self-recognition and control of pollentube growth is proposed, proposed.

The Heterotrophic Nutrition of Chlorella vulgaris (Brannon No. 1 Strain): With two Figures In the Text

A range of sugars, sugar alcohols, sugar phosphates, organicacids, and monohydric alcohols have been tested as carbon sourcesfor growth and as respiratory substrates using Chlorella vulgaris,Brannon I, grown in darkness. Much higher rates of growth and respiration were obtained withd-glucose than with any other substance tested. Ethanol (at0·005 M.) sustained both growth and respiration at c.50 per cent, of the level with glucose (0·028 M. or higher).Evidence was obtained that the organism can become ‘adapted’to utilize d-galactose and sucrose as effective carbon sources.Sustained growth was not obtained with any of the other substancestested. The glucose monophosphates, methanol and certain organic acids(oxalacetate, -ketoglutarate, cis-aconitate, and pyruvate) clearlystimulated oxygen uptake but to a less extent than ethanol.The other substances tested were either inhibitory to respirationor inactive or of very low activity as substrates. The growth in darkness and in liquid culture of Chlorella whensupplied with d-glucose was insensitive to pH over the range4·5 to 7·0 and was markedly enhanced by a highlevel of aeration. Gains in cellular dry weight ranging from45 to 90 per cent, of the weight of d-glucose disappearing fromthe culture medium were recorded in growth experiments; measurementsof CO₂ evolution in the Warburg indicated retention of up totwo-thirds of the glucose-C in cell material.     

The Influence of Gaseous Environment on the Storage Life of Araucaria hunsteinii Seed

The effect of various gas mixtures on the longevity of hydratedseeds of Araucaria hunsteinii K. Schum. was assessed under controlledconditions. The length of storage life decreased as oxygen concentrationwas reduced from 21 to zero per cent. No effect of carbon dioxideon seed longevity was detected within the range 1–50 percent when combined with 10 or 21 per cent oxygen. Ethylene at0.01 per cent, and sealed foil or polyethylene bag storage reducedthe period of seed germinability compared with that for 21 percent oxygen. Ethanol accumulation took place in stored seedswhen the environmental oxygen concentration was below a thresholdvalue which lay between 1 and 5 per cent. It is proposed that the observed effects of gases on longevityof hydrated seeds may be mediated through an influence on aerobicrespiration rate. Practical implications of the results areconsidered.

Effect of yeast growth conditions on yeast-mycelial transition in Candida albicans

When grown and induced to form germ tubes in liquid defined media, yeast cells of Candida albicans must reach stationary phase before acquiring ability to carry out the yeast-mycelial transition. This study examined the effect of the carbon source utilized for yeast growth on the inducibility of stationary phase yeast. When grown to the same stationary phase cell density as glucose cultures, cultures grown on citrate were fully inducible while cultures grown on galactose and mannose showed a small reduction. Cultures grown on ethanol were reduced 80% in morphological conversion. When glucose grown cells were induced in the presence of these carbon sources, hexoses supported full induction while ethanol reduced induction 80%. Induction in the presence of carboxylic acids was similar to induction in the absence of added carbon source. When induced on the same source used in yeast growth, germ tube formation was reduced for all carbon sources except hexoses. When induced in the absence of added carbon source, yeasts grown on citrate and ethanol were inhibited 80-100%. Cultures starved for glucose were more inhibited than cultures starved for NH4Cl when induced without added carbon source. These observations suggest that the metabolic state of the stationary phase cell is an important factor in the ability to respond to conditions inducing germ tube formation.     

The Carbohydrate Nutrition of Tomato Roots: V. The Promotion and Inhibition of Excised Root Growth by Various Sugars and Sugar Alcohols

Iron is only consistently present in an available form in White'sroot culture medium if the inorganic salts are autoclaved withthe sugar. The substitution of ferric ethylenediamine-tetra-acetatefor the inorganic ferric salt of White's medium ensures ironavailability when the carbon source of the medium is renderedsterile by ether treatment and subsequently added to the remainderof the constituents which have been sterilized by autoclaving. The biological activity of sugars, and particularly of dextroseand laevulose, is altered by autoclaving them in presence ofthe inorganic salt solution of White's medium. The only sugar which supports a considerable growth of excisedtomato roots is sucrose. The activity of this sugar is not affectedby alcohol-precipitation nor is it dependent upon the simultaneouspresence of traces of its constituent mono-saccharides. Dextrose or laevulose or a mixture of the two sugars supporta low but sustained level of excised-root growth. All othersugars and sugar alcohols tested were inactive as carbon sources. The addition of sucrose at low concentration (0–2 percent.) to a medium containing dextrose as the main carbon compounddoes not make possible a level of growth comparable with thatobtained with an adequate sucrose supply. It has not been possibleto enhance the growth-rate of excised roots supplied with dextroseby previous presentation of this sugar under conditions permittingactive growth. Using media containing 'etherized' sucrose anddextrose, no evidence was obtained of any competitive inhibitionof sucrose utilization by dextrose. Certain sugars when added to a medium, containing the optimumconcentration of sucrose₁, markedly inhibited excised root growth.Thus l-sorbose, l- and d-arabinose, and d-xylose caused notless than 80 per cent, inhibition at a concentration of 0-5per cent. d-mannose and d-galactose completely inhibited growthat o-1 per cent. The oligosaccharides, dextrose, laevulose,and the sugar alcohols tested had, by contrast, very low inhibitoryactivity.     

Characterization of azo reduction activity in a novel ascomycete yeast strain

Several model azo dyes are reductively cleaved by growing cultures of an ascomycete yeast species, Issatchenkia occidentalis. In liquid media containing 0.2 mM dye and 2% glucose in a mineral salts base, more than 80% of the dyes are removed in 15 h, essentially under microaerophilic conditions. Under anoxic conditions, decolorization does not occur, even in the presence of pregrown cells. Kinetic assays of azo reduction activities in quasi-resting cells demonstrated the following: (i) while the optimum pH depends on dye structure, the optimum pH range was observed in the acidic range; (ii) the maximum decolorizing activity occurs in the late exponential phase; and (iii) the temperature profile approaches the typical bell-shaped curve. These results indirectly suggest the involvement of an enzyme activity in azo dye reduction. The decolorizing activity of I. occidentalis is still observed, although at a lower level, when the cells switch to aerobic respiration at the expense of ethanol after glucose exhaustion in the culture medium. Decolorization ceased when all the ethanol was consumed; this observation, along with other lines of evidence, suggests that azo dye reduction depends on cell growth. Anthraquinone-2-sulfonate, a redox mediator, enhances the reduction rates of the N,N-dimethylaniline-based dyes and reduces those of the 2-naphthol-based dyes, an effect which seems to be compatible with a thermodynamic factor. The dye reduction products were tested as carbon and nitrogen sources. 1-Amino-2-naphthol was used as a carbon and nitrogen source, and N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine was used only as a nitrogen source. Sulfanilic and metanilic acids did not support growth either as a carbon or nitrogen source.     

Induction of Catalase Activity in a Methanol-utilizing Yeast,Kloeckera sp. No. 2201

The methanol-grown cells of Kloeckera sp. No. 2201 exhibit a markedly high catalase activity as compared with the glucose-grown and ethanol-grown cells. In this connection, specific organelles (“microbodies”) appear only in the methanol-grown cells. When the yeast cells harvested from a methanol medium (cells whose catalase activity had been enhanced to an appreciable extent: “partially induced cells”) were transferred into media containing glucose, ethanol or methanol as the sole carbon and energy source, further increase of catalase activity was mediated only by methanol. This induction of catalase activity was partially inhibited by cycloheximide at its high concentration, but chloramphenicol did not show any effect. Glucose inhibited strongly the induction by methanol, while galactose gave no effect. Electron microscopical observation revealed that the development of microbodies in the cells growing on methanol was hardly affected by cycloheximide. Disappearance of microbodies was observed electron microscopically after the methanol-grown cells (partially induced cells) were transferred to a methanol-glucose medium and cultivated for 8 hr. 3′,5′-Cyclic AMP or dibutyryl-3′,5′-cyclic AMP could not eliminate the inhibitory effect of glucose on the catalase induction. Addition of caffeine or theophylline did not promote the action of the cyclic nucleotides. 3-Amino-1,2,4-triazole inhibited only 40% of the hydrogen peroxide-decomposing activity in the cell homogenate of methanol-grown cells even at its concentration of as high as 10 mm, while sodium azide inhibited the enzyme activity completely at the concentration of 1 mm.     

Photosynthesis and Formation of Fats in a Diatom

A study has been made, using C¹⁴ as a tracer, of the variationswhich occur according to the physiological condition of thecells in the distribution of carbon fixed, both in the lightand in the dark, by the diatom Navicula pelliculosa (Bréb.)Hilse during periods of 30 to 300 seconds. Fixation into thefollowing cell fractions was determined: (A) material solublein 80 per cent. ethanol but insoluble in benzene, (B) materialsoluble both in 80 per cent. ethanol and in benzene, and (C)material insoluble in 80 per cent. ethanol. Carbon fixed inphotosynthesis was incorporated, rapidly and in amounts representingup to 70 per cent. of the total fixation, into fractions B andC, as well as into fraction A. Considerable variation was foundin the proportions of carbon entering the three fractions inthe light; in actively growing cells the proportion enteringfraction C preponderated over that in B, corresponding to thesynthesis of protein, whereas in nitrogen-deficient cells fixationin B was the greater, corresponding to the synthesis of fat.These patterns changed only slowly, over periods of days, followingthe transfer of cells to altered conditions of nitrate supply.However, when ammonium nitrogen was supplied to nitrogen-deficientcells a marked change in distribution of carbon fixed occurredwithin 5 minutes, fixation in fraction B falling to a low valueand that in A rising correspondingly. In cells subjected toprolonged nitrogen-deficiency, fixation in fraction B fell toa relatively low value but the proportion which this fractionformed of the total dry matter in the cells rose as a resultof an increased rate of loss from the cells of constituentsother than lipides. The distribution of carbon fixed was alsodependent on light intensity. Fixation in fractions B and Crose relatively to that in A as light intensity was increasedup to 100 foot-candles but fell again at the highest intensityused, 2,000 foot-candles. These results are discussed with particularreference to the relationship between fat accumulation and photosynthesisin algae.     

Investigations into the Role of Sucrose in Potato cv. Estima Microtuber Production in vitro

Sucrose has been the carbohydrate traditionally used for potatomicrotuber production. Added to nutrient media, sucrose canact solely as a carbon source, or as an osmoticum, or both.Preliminary tests showed that the osmolarity of sucrose solutionswas increased by autoclaving, indicating some breakdown of thesugar. This was taken into consideration in experiments whichinvolved supplementing 4% sucrose media with sucrose, maltose,glucose or fructose, while keeping the osmotic potential ofthe media constant. A medium concentration of about 400 mM withonly sucrose was more suitable for microtuber production thanmedia supplemented with maltose, glucose or fructose. However,a better microtuber yield was obtained when hexoses were addedthan with unsupplemented 4% sucrose media. When glucose wassupplied at concentrations which had the same number of carbonatoms as 8% sucrose, the high osmolarity inhibited microtuberisation.Sugar movement in the tubering plantlet was followed using radio-labelledsucrose, glucose and fructose. The sucrose was translocatedand used at a faster rate than the other sugars, which tendedto remain in the roots of the plantlets. Furthermore, therewas no difference in microtuber production on media to whichthe sucrose was added before or after autoclaving, indicatingthat levels of breakdown were not severe enough to affect theprocess. Therefore, it is concluded that sucrose acts primarilyas a suitable carbon source for uptake and utilization by theplantlets, but, at 8%, it also provides a favourable osmolarityfor the development of microtubers.Copyright 1995, 1999 AcademicPress Solanum tuberosum (L.), potato, microtuber, media, sugar, sucrose, osmolarity, pH     

Production of Cellulolytic Enzymes by Botryodiplodia theobromae, Pat.

Carboxymethylcellulase (CM-cellulase) and ß-glucosidaseactivities were induced in cultures of Botryodiplodia theobromae,Pat. Both growth of the fungus and CM-cellulase production werebetter with sodium nitrate as nitrogen source than with eitherammonium nitrate or ammonium chloride. Growth, per unit nitrogensupplied, was greater with glutamic acid and aspartic acid asnitrogen sources than with sodium nitrate; this was probablybecause the fungus utilized the carbon of these amino-acids.Most ß-glucosidase activity was formed with ammoniumchloride or ammonium nitrate as nitrogen source. Glucose inhibited the activity of ß-glucosidase markedly.Low glucose concentration (c. 0.003 M) stimulated CM-cellulaseactivity but concentrations above 0.05 M inhibited. The formationof both enzymic activities was repressed in the presence ofglucose. ß-glucosidase activity was more thermolabilethan that of CM-cellulase.     

Microbiological Synthesis of Fat: THE EFFECTS OF VARYING PH, TEMPERATURE, NITROGEN, INCUBATION PERIOD, AND SUGAR CONCENTRATION ON FAT-PRODUCING MOULDS

1. A more detailed study has been made of the influence of thesefactors on fat formation by Aspergillus nidulans, Penicilliumspinulosum, and Penicillium javanicum. 2. The effect of halving the glucose, while keeping the ammoniumnitrate concentration constant, lowered the yield of fat onsugar used in A. nidulans and P. spinulosum but not in P. javanicumcultures. 3. Keeping the same N: C ratio and raising the glucose concentrationfrom ro to 20 per cent. showed that to per cent. glucose wasmore efficiently converted to fat by A. nidulans and P. javanicum. 4. The iodine values of the extracted fats were higher, in general,with increased length of incubation. Low ammonium nitrate concentrations,however, tended to give low iodine values. 5. The results have been applied on a larger scale by growthin Roux bottles, Glaxo flasks, and a flat stainless-steel tank.     

Sporulation in Rhizopus sexualis and Some Other Fungi Following a Period of Intense Respiration

Rhizopus sexualis grown at 20° C. on liquid I per cent.malt or glucose-asparagine medium showed a peak of respiratoryactivity between 40 and 55 hours-after inoculation. Rate ofrespiration then fell until it reached a steady low level whichcoincided with maximum mycelial growth. Zygospore initiationoccurred at or just after the peak of respiration. At a low temperature (9° C.) or with high concentrationsof glucose the respiration peak was less marked and no zygosporesdeveloped. Single ‘plus’ or ‘minus’strains of the heterothallic species Mucor hiemalis and Phycomycesblakesleeanus showed a pattern of respiration and mycelial growthsimilar to that of R. sexualis but no zygospores were formed.Zygospores did not develop without a preliminary period of intenserespiration, but such a peak period could occur without beingfollowed by zygospore formation. A strain of Sordaria fimicola was grown at 25° C. on a syntheticmedium with 5.0 per cent. sucrose or glucose as source of carbon.Respiration reached a peak at approximately 4 and 5 days respectively,the actual peak value being twice as large on sucrose as onglucose. Dry weight of mycelium was greater on glucose thanon sucrose. Perithecia were formed only on the sucrose medium.Visible peri-thecial initials were first seen shortly afterthe occurrence of the respiratory peak. Mature perithecia werepresent 3 days later. The possible significance of these results is discussed.
