L—山梨糖提高木霉纤维酶合成速率机制的研究

在０．５％葡萄糖－Ｍａｎｄｅｌｓ盐培养液中添加终浓度为０．５％的Ｌ－山梨糖,可使里斯木霉和拟康氏木霉的内切外外切β－１,４葡聚糖酶合成速率在培养的２天内提高４倍。与此同时β－葡萄糖苷酶的合成没有明显变化。Ｌ－山梨糖能明显抑制菌丝生长,但对葡萄糖的吸收没有影响,对菌丝分泌纤维素酶的机制影响不大。其对酶合成的促进可能主要是通过降低了菌丝体的生长速率。

深绿木霉中碳代谢抑制因子CRE1功能特性研究

木霉菌(Trichoderma spp.)是一种广泛存在于土壤及植物根系生境中的丝状真菌,具有拮抗植物病原真菌和促进植物生长的双重功效。碳代谢抑制子CRE1全局性调控细胞生长代谢过程,保障木霉在不同生境中的存活及拮抗病原菌特性。比较深绿木霉(T.atroviride)T23及其Cre1突变株(T23Δcre1)在不同培养基中的生长和代谢特性,结果表明:cre1基因沉默后,T23Δcre1较T23菌丝生长变慢,产孢滞后且降低一个数量级,cre1对菌丝生长和产孢的调控依赖于培养基组分。此外,cre1基因抑制几丁质酶、β-1,3-葡聚糖酶基因转录,区别性调控部分次级代谢合成的非核糖体肽合成酶NRPS和聚酮合成酶PKS基因的表达。综上,碳代谢因子CRE1作为一个多效性的转录调控因子,抑制细胞壁降解酶和代谢产物合成相关的基因表达,赋予木霉菌在环境中的适应性和竞争性,是深绿木霉T23生长的必要因子。

哈茨木霉的培养及其对烟草疫霉生长的抑制研究

哈茨木霉是一类重要的植病生防因子。哈茨木霉TH-1分别在PDA培养基、麦芽糖培养基、查氏培养基和琼脂培养基上培养均能产孢,其中PDA培养基为最适培养基。PDA培养基上,菌丝生长适宜温度27．5℃～35℃,最适温度32．5℃,产孢最适温度27．5℃。菌丝生长适宜pH值为3～7,产孢适宜pH值为5-9,生长与产孢最适pH值为5。光照对菌丝生长影响不大但明显影响菌株的产孢数量,光照时间越长产孢量越大。对峙培养试验表明TH-1明显抑制疫霉菌的生长速率,其无菌滤液明显抑制烟草疫霉菌游动孢子的萌发,并抑制游动孢子芽管的伸长,TH-1对游动孢子萌发的相对抑制率为12．7％,对芽管生长长度的相对抑制率为63．1％。水解酶平板活性测定显示,TH-1产生β-1,3葡聚糖酶与纤维素酶,从而使烟草疫霉菌细胞壁的消解,产生非挥发性抗生素抑制烟草疫霉菌孢子萌发,但对菌丝生长影响不大。     

培养条件对绿木霉菌几丁质酶分泌水平的调节

木霉菌（Trichoderma spp．）是一类重要的植病生防因子,该菌产生的包括几丁质酶在内的细胞壁降解酶,在木霉重寄生中起重要作用。该文采用正交试验方法研究了葡萄糖浓度、铵盐浓度、胶状几丁质三个因素及其交互作用对绿木霉菌（Trichoderma,Virens）几丁质酶分泌水平的影响,结果表明,低浓度葡萄糖（0．1％）和低浓度铵盐（10mmol／L）有利于几丁质酶的分泌,几丁质酶活性最高可达到6．83U;高浓度葡萄糖对几丁质酶的分泌有明显抑制作用,在3％葡萄精浓度条件下几丁质酶的分泌水平均小于0．45U,在高铵盐浓度（100mmo/L）时,几丁质酶分泌水平在0．59～1．29U;胶状几丁质的添加可在术霉菌丝体生长早期（培养前72h）诱导几丁质酶的分泌;葡萄糖与铵盐的交互作用能够显著提高几丁质酶的分泌水平。

Sorbose mediated enhancement of cellulase biosynthesis inTrichoderma reesei

Addition of L-sorbose, a non-metabolizable non-inducing ketohexose, toTrichoderma reesei cultures growing on cellobiose or Avicel-cellulose lead to increased cellulase activities. Addition of sorbose resulted in a 6-fold increase in cellodextrins (cellotriose, cellotetraose, cellopentaose) concentration on day 3 in cellobiose cultures and 1.3-fold increase in cellodextrins concentrations on day 4 in Avicel cellulose cultures. This increase in intracellular cellodextrins concentration matched closely with the increase in endoglucanase activity at these time points. Treatment of the cell-free extracts with cellulase preparation led to disappearance of the cellodextrins and increase of glucose. These observations suggested a more direct involvement of cellodextrins in cellulase induction process. The cellulases produced in sorbose-supplemented cellobiose medium hydrolyzed microcrystalline cellulose as effectively as the ones produced on Avicel cellulose medium.     

Cellulase production by Trichoderma reesei when cultured on xylose-based media supplemented with sorbose

The ability of L-sorbose to stimulate cellulase production In shake flask culture of Trichoderma reesei was examined in mineral salts media (initial pH 5.0) containing either 1.0% D-xylose, 1.0% cellulose, and/or 0.1, 0.3, or 0.5% L-sorbose. When sorbose was the only carbon source, growth was limited, little substrate was utilized, pH increased, and cellulase activity was not apparent. The other carbon sources promoted good growth, pH dropped sharply to 2.5-3.0, substrate was utilized rapidly, and cellulase activity was detected. After three weeks of fermentation, twice as much cellulase activity was detected in the medium containing only cellulose as the carbon source, as compared to xylose as the carbon source. Cellulase activity was higher when media contained xylose supplemented with sorbose compared to xylose as the only carbon source. At 0.3 and 0.5% levels of sorbose supplementation of xylose-based media, cellulase activity was similar to that in cellulose-based media.     

Production of cellulase using a mutant strain of Trichoderma reesei growing on lactose in batch culture

The production of cellulases in batch culture was studied using a mutant strain of Trichoderma reesei C-5 growing on lactose. Growth kinetic parameters on 2% lactose were studied and the comparative results for growth and enzyme productivities at two different lactose levels are discussed. The cellulase synthesis rate depended on the lactose concentration in the medium. Although growth was favoured at a higher lactose level, the volumetric enzyme productivity did not increase in proportion and the specific enzyme productivity decreased to a certain extent, indicating that partial catabolic inhibition at higher lactose concentrations may be possible. However, it was noted that the mutant strain was highly depressed and capable of synthesising active cellulases on lactose.     

Inductive formation of celluases by L-sorbose in Trichoderma reesei

Summary L-Sorbose, which is known as an inhibitor of -1,3-glucan synthesis in fungi, induces the production of cellulases in strains belonging to Trichoderma reesei. Especially, mutant strains PC-3–7 and X-31, which were obtained by several steps of mutation from QM 9414, have the most effective cellulase inducibility by L-sorbose comparing with other mutants of Trichoderma reesei. They synthesized cellulases effectively in liquid culture, whenever the alkaline treated sugarcane bagasse was used as a main carbon source for lowering the cost of cellulase production.     

Preparation of mutants of Trichoderma reesei with enhanced cellulase production.

The development of an agar plate screening technique has allowed the isolation of a range of mutants of Trichoderma reesei capable of synthesizing cellulase under conditions of high catabolite repression. The properties of one of these mutants (NG-14) is described to illustrate the use of this technique. NG-14 produced five times the filter paper-degrading activity per ml of culture medium and twice the specific activity per mg of excreted protein in submerged culture when compared with the best existing mutant, QM9414. NG-14 also showed enhanced endo-beta-glucanase and beta-glucosidase production. Although these mutants were isolated as cellulase producers in the presence of 5% glycerol on agar plates, in similar liquid medium, NG-14 exhibits only partial derepression of the cellulase complex. Since the proportions of filter paper activity, endo-beta-glucanase, and cellobiase were not the same in mutants NG-14 and QM9414, and the yields of each enzyme under conditions repressive for cellulase synthesis were different, differential control of each enzyme of the cellulase complex is implied. These initial results suggest that the selective technique for isolating hyper-cellulase-producing mutants of Trichoderma will be of considerable use in the development of commercially useful cellulolytic strains.

Induction of cellulolytic enzymes in Trichoderma reesei by sophorose.

Sophorose (2-O-beta-glucopyranosyl-D-glucose) induces carboxymethyl cellulase in Trichoderma reesei QM6a mycelium with 1.5 to 2 h. The induction response to sophorose concentration, although complicated by the metabolism of sophorose, shows saturation kinetics. Most of the cellulase appears after most of the sophorose has been taken up, but the presence of an inducer is required to maintain cellulase synthesis because enzyme production ceases after separation of the mycelium from the induction medium. Cellulase appears simultaneously in the medium and in the mycelium, and no appreciable levels accumulate in the mycelium. Response to pH suggest either that synthesis and secretion of the enzyme are closely associated or concurrent events affected by surface interactions with the medium. Effects of temperature and pH on cellulase induction by sophorose are similar to those reported for induction by cellulose. The kinetics of absorption by mycelium differs from that of other beta-linked saccharides and glucose, the uptake of sophorose being much slower. Under our cultural conditions, sophorose appears to induce an incomplete array of cellulase enzymes, as indicated by enzymatic and electrophoretic studies.     

Induction of cellulase in trichoderma reesei grown on lactose

Intracellular concentrations of ATP, cyclic AMP and glucose-6-phosphate were monitored during growth of partially catabolically derepressed strain of Trichoderma reesei CC II in medium containing lactose as the sole carbon source. The induction of cellulase synthesis occured when the concentration of lactose in the medium decreased below 7 mg/ml. The onset of cellulase synthesis was preceded by a transient peak of intracellular concentration of ATP and by the increase of the cyclic AMP contents in the mycelium whereby the intracellular level of glucose-6-phosphate was at its minimum. By keeping the lactose concentration in the medium at 2 mg/ml, it was possible to support the continuation of cellulase synthesis over the prolonged periods without appreciable growth of biomass.     

Effect of nitrogen sources on cellulase biosynthesis by a mutant strain of Trichoderma viride 44

The effect of various nitrogen sources on cellulase biosynthesis by the mutant strain Trichoderma viride 44 was examined. This strain may utilized nitrogen in the nitrate, ammonium of organic form. When cultivating this strain, it appears advantageous to add to the nutrient medium yeast and yeast lyzates as well as their mixture with ammonium sulfate. Cellulase reached its maximum activity of 20.2, 21.5 and 23.2 mu/ml when grown on the medium containing ammonium phosphate, peptone and brewing yeast plus ammonium sulfate, respectively. It is useful to apply nitrogen in its organic forms in small quantities and in combination with mineral forms. The nitrogen presence in the medium is necessary only at the exponential stage of fungal growth. The lack of nitrogen in the stationary stage characterized by the maximum cellulase formation does not inhibit an increase in the enzyme activity.     

NADPH-dependent L-sorbose reductase is responsible for L-sorbose assimilation in Gluconobacter suboxydans IFO 3291.

The NADPH-dependent L-sorbose reductase (SR) of L-sorbose-producing Gluconobacter suboxydans IFO 3291 contributes to intracellular L-sorbose assimilation. The gene disruptant showed no SR activity and did not assimilate the once-produced L-sorbose, indicating that the SR functions mainly as an L-sorbose-reducing enzyme in vivo and not as a D-sorbitol-oxidizing enzyme.
