Aims: Oenococcus oeni is a slow‐growing wine bacterium with a low growth yield. It thrives better on complex nitrogen sources than on free amino‐acid medium. We aimed to characterize the oligopeptide use of this micro‐organism. Methods and Results: Several peptides of two to eight amino‐acid residues were able to provide essential amino acids. The disappearance of various peptides from extracellular medium was assessed with whole cells. Initial rates of utilization varied with the peptide, and free amino acids were released into the medium. Conclusions: Oenococcus oeni was able to transport the oligopeptides with two to five amino‐acid residues tested and to hydrolyse them further. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study has clear implications for the relationship between wine nitrogen composition and the ability of O. oeni to cope with its environment. 相似文献

SYNOPSIS. Glaucoma chattoni strain A has been grown in the chemically defined medium previously used for Colpidium campylum and Tetrahymena pyriformis. It was necessary to modify the amino acid, nucleotide and other components of the medium in order to obtain optimum growth. The modified medium contained 17 amino acids, nucleic acid components, fatty acids, stigmasterol, sodium acetate, a mixture of B-vitamins and several inorganic salts. 相似文献

A facultative psychrophilic bacterium, strain L-2, that grows at 0 and 5°C as minimum growth temperatures in complex and defined media, respectively, was isolated. On the basis of taxonomic studies, strain L-2 was identified as Cobetia marina. The adaptability of strain L-2 to cold temperature was higher than that of the type strain and of other reported strains of the same species. When the bacterium was grown at 5–15°C in a defined medium, it produced a high amount of trans-unsaturated fatty acids. By contrast, in a complex medium in the same temperature range it produced a low amount of trans-unsaturated fatty acids. In the complex medium at 5°C, the bacterium exhibited a three-fold higher growth rate than that obtained in the defined medium. Following a temperature shift from 11 to 5°C, strain L-2 grew better in complex than in defined medium. Furthermore, when the growth temperature was shifted from 0 to 5°C both the growth rate and the yield of strain L-2 growing in complex medium was markedly enhanced. These phenomena suggest that an upshift of the growth temperature had a positive effect on metabolism. The effects of adding complex medium components to the defined medium on bacterial growth rate and fatty acid composition at 5°C were also studied. The addition of yeast extract followed by peptone was effective in promoting rapid growth, while glutamate addition was less effective, resulting in a cis-unsaturated fatty acid ratio similar to that of cells grown in the complex medium. These results suggest that the rapid growth of strain L-2 at low temperatures requires a high content of various amino acids rather than the presence of a high ratio of cis-unsaturated fatty acids in the cell membrane. 相似文献

The aims of this work were to improve a basal synthetic medium (BM) for the growth of Lactobacillus plantarum strains and to establish their amino-acid requirements. Amino-acid use was analyzed in the most nutritionally demanding bacterium.
First, the improved BM (L. plantarum synthetic medium [LPSM]) was created by increasing some vitamins in the BM, especially p-aminobenzoic acid, vitamin B12, and biotin; 5-fold phenylalanine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, proline, serine, threonine, and tryptophan;
and 10-, 60-, and 75-fold valine, arginine, and tyrosine, respectively. With these additions, the N8 and N4 strains of L. plantarum grew rapidly to reach final cell densities similar to those obtained in Mann–Rogosa–Sharpe medium. When cysteine, leucine,
valine, isoleucine, threonine, and glutamic acid were individually removed from this medium, bacterial growth significantly
decreased or ceased, indicating that these amino acids are essential for growth. The N4 strain also required lysine and tryptophan
in addition to the six amino acids necessary for growth. L. plantarum N4 mainly consumed essential amino acids, such as valine, lysine, cysteine, and threonine as well as the stimulatory amino
acid, arginine. Thus, the BM was improved mainly on the basis of annulling limitations with respect to amino acids. With this,
improved medium cell densities in the order of 109 colony-forming units/mL have been achieved, indicating that LPSM medium could be used for conducting metabolic and genetic
studies on L. plantarum. Their low levels in orange juice suggest that these amino acids may not satisfy the total nitrogen requirement for the development
of L. plantarum in the natural environment. 相似文献

The ruminal bacterium Synergistes jonesii strain 78-1, which is able to degrade the pyridinediol toxin in the plant Leucaena leucephala, was studied for its ability to utilise amino acids. The organism used arginine, histidine and glycine from a complex mixture of amino acids, and both arginine and histidine supported growth in a semi-defined medium. The products of (U-14C)-arginine metabolism were CO2 acetate, butyrate, citrulline and ornithine. The labelling pattern of end products from (U-14C)-histidine metabolism differed in that carbon also flowed into formate and propionate. Arginine was catabolised by the arginine deiminase pathway which was characterised by the presence of arginine deiminase, ornithine transcarbamylase and carbamate kinase. This is the first report of a rumen bacterium that uses arginine and histidine as major energy yielding substrates. 相似文献

Investigations showed that Rhodococcus erythropolis E-15 and Arthrobacter globiformis 2F cells respond to osmotic shock by increasing the synthesis of free amino acids, primarily glutamic acid (80% of the intracellular free amino acid pool). The osmoprotective role of glutamic acid follows from its beneficial effect on the growth of bacteria in high-salinity media. It was found that the addition of this amino acid to the growth medium at a concentration of 2 mM shortened the lag phase and increased the growth rate and biomass yield of either of the two bacteria. The addition of another osmoprotectant, trehalose, to the high-salinity growth medium of R. erythropolis E-15 at the same concentration (2 mM), restored the growth parameters of this bacterium to the control values. 相似文献

The antimutagenic activity of protein-constituting amino acids except histidine on the mutagenicity of N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) was investigated in vitro using Salmonella typhinurium TA-100 as an indicator bacterium (Ames test), and concentrations (IC50) of amino acids that inhibit 50% of the mutagenecity were measured. Cysteine was found to be most active and glycine, tryptophan, lysine, and arginine were strong antimutagenic amino acids. Other amino acids showed moderate or weak antimutagenic activities, depending on the amino acids. The results indicate that amino acids play a substantial role in chemoprevention of N-nitroso amine-induced mutagenicity. 相似文献

Corynebacterium glutamicum, a soil bacterium, is used to produce amino acids such as lysine and glutamate. C. glutamicum is often exposed to osmolality changes in its medium, and the bacterium has therefore evolved several adaptive response mechanisms
to overcome them. In this study we quantify the metabolic response of C. glutamicum under osmotic stress using elementary mode analysis (EMA). Further, we obtain the optimal phenotypic space for the synthesis
of lysine and formation of biomass. The analysis demonstrated that with increasing osmotic stress, the flux towards trehalose
formation and energy-generating pathways increased, while the flux of anabolic reactions diminished. Nodal analysis indicated
that glucose-6-phosphate, phosphoenol pyruvate, and pyruvate nodes were capable of adapting to osmotic stress, whereas the
oxaloacetic acid node was relatively unresponsive. Fewer elementary modes were active under stress indicating the rigid behavior
of the metabolism in response to high osmolality. Optimal phenotypic space analysis revealed that under normal conditions
the organism optimized growth during the initial log phase and lysine and trehalose formation during the stationary phase.
However, under osmotic stress, the analysis demonstrated that the organism operates under suboptimal conditions for growth,
and lysine and trehalose formation. 相似文献

The study was undertaken to analyze the rate of uptake and utilization of various amino acids by Azospirillum brasilense Sp81 (RG) in a basal mineral salts solution under non-nitrogen fixing condition. These amino acids including other nitrogenous compounds were tested for both N- and C-sources. The kinetic constants (Km and Vmax) of uptake of some amino acids (e.g. lysine, arginine, proline, glutamine and glutamic acid) were exploited using a Hanes-Woolf plot, and discussed in the context of nitrogen starvation or both carbon and nitrogen starvation. To summarize all the kinetic data for these amino acids strongly suggested that the mode of these amino acids utilization in this bacterium followed the same general pattern, although the quantitative differences were there. A single amino acid was able to satisfy the nitrogen needs of this bacterium in basal mineral salts solution, and this possibility could be considered for the cost-effective growth medium for this bacterium in the biotechnological industry. 相似文献

In this study, we isolated and characterized a novel feather-degrading bacterium that shows keratinolytic, antifungal and
plant growth-promoting activities. A bacterium S8 was isolated from forest soil and confirmed to belong to Bacillus subtilis by BIOLOG system and 16S rRNA gene analysis. The improved culture conditions for the production of keratinolytic protease
were 0.1% (w/v) sorbitol, 0.3% (w/v) KNO3, 0.1% (w/v) K2HPO4, 0.06% (w/v) KH2PO4 and 0.04% (w/v) MgCl2·6H2O (pH 8.0 and 30°C), respectively. In the improved medium containing 0.1% (w/v) feather, keratinolytic protease production
was around 53.3 ± 0.3 U/ml at 4 day; this value was 10-fold higher than the yield in the basal feather medium (5.3 ± 0.1 U/ml).
After cultivation for 5 days in the improved medium, intact feather was completely degraded. Feather degradation resulted
in free –SH group, soluble protein and amino acids production. The concentration of free –SH group in the culture medium was
15.5 ± 0.2 μM at 4 days. Nineteen amino acids including all essential amino acids were produced in the culture medium; the
concentration of total amino acid produced was 3360.4 μM. Proline (2809.9 μM), histidine (371.3 μM) and phenylalanine (172.0 μM)
were the major amino acids released in the culture medium. B. subtilis S8 showed the properties related to plant growth promotion: hydrolytic enzymes, ammonification, indoleacetic acid (IAA),
phosphate solubilization, and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Interestingly, the strain S8 grown in the improved medium
produced IAA and antifungal activity, indicating simultaneous production of keratinolytic and antifungal activities and IAA
by B. subtilis S8. These results suggest that B. subtilis S8 could be not only used to improve the nutritional value of feather wastes but also is useful in situ biodegradation of
feather wastes. Furthermore, it could also be a potential biofertilizer or biocontrol agent applicable to crop plant soil. 相似文献

The phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus utilizes the aromatic amino acids L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine as nitrogen source. L-Phenylalanine is hydroxylated to L-tyrosine,
which is further converted into p-hydroxyphenyl pyruvate (pHPP) by a transamination reaction. The bacterium is unable to grow at the expense of these amino
acids as the sole carbon source, although it is able to degrade them to homogentisate, probably by unspecific hydroxylation
reactions. Metabolization of L-phenylalanine or L-tyrosine as nitrogen source requires phototrophic growth conditions and
does not produce free ammonium inside the cells. A low aminotransferase activity with 2-oxoglutarate and L-tyrosine as substrates
can be detected in crude extracts of R. capsulatus. Uptake of both amino acids by R. capsulatus was completely inhibited by ammonium addition, which also prevents aminotransferase induction.

—Various parameters of the in vitro incorporation of [14C]amino acids into protein by cell nuclei isolated and purified from rat brain and liver were investigated. Nuclei purified through 2.2 m sucrose solution were capable of amino acid incorporation in vitro; and washing procedure to eliminate hypertonic sucrose before incubation was essential since sucrose in high concentration was inhibitory. Microbial contamination was found to be a serious source of error and the use of sterile conditions for incubation were necessary to obtain reproducible and valid results. Using completely sterile conditions, Na +, K+, RNase, DNase, puromycin, cycloheximide and chloramphenicol were without any effect on the ability of brain and liver nuclei to incorporate labelled amino acids into protein. Results of time-course and preincubation experiments revealed that some factors essential for amino acid incorporation pass out of the nucleus into the medium. In addition, approximately 15 per cent of the labelled nuclear proteins with higher specific radioactivity was recovered in the incubation medium. Incorporation of [14C]leucine was proportional to the concentration of labelled amino acid and to the number of nuclei, and it is suggested that carefully controlled conditions of incubation are essential to obtain valid comparisons between different types of nuclei in terms of their relative abilities to incorporate amino acids in vitro. No evidence was obtained indicating isotope dilution phenomenon in these experiments. Whether or not in vitro incorporation of amino acid by nuclei represents protein synthesis is discussed. 相似文献

The possibility of extracellular formation of amino acids by anaerobes was investigated. In general, anaerobes were able to produce 20 to 50 mg of alanine per dl of medium extracellularly. Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum, the anaerobic bacterium for acetone-butanol fermentation, accumulated 100 mg of alanine per dl of medium containing 5 g of glucose, 1 g of ammonium acetate, 0.1 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.04 g of magnesium sulfate, 0.001 g of ferrous sulfate, 1 μg of biotin, 0.1 g of yeast extract and 1 g of calcium carbonate in tap water.Relationships between alanine formation and solvent yields or sporulation were investigated. Spore formation was not active in the medium for alanine formation and yield of acetone increased in this medium. 相似文献

Filibacter limicola is a filamentous gliding bacterium isolated from the profundal sediment of a eutrophic lake. It is an obligate amino acid utilizer. The kinetic parameters for the metabolism of four amino acids byF. limicola, Vitreoscilla spp. and the bacterial populations of water and sediment samples were compared.F. limicola exhibited low half-saturation constants (K) which were of the same order as those obtained with water samples. The K values for theVitreoscilla spp. and the sediment were an order of magnitude higher. It would appear that the bacterium is a specialist, inhabiting a niche which is sufficiently nutrient rich to support an organism with a limited substrate range. It also possesses a high affinity uptake system for some amino acids which may permit it to compete effectively during periods of nutrient depletion. 相似文献

New syringopeptins SP(SC)-t and -2 were isolated from culture filtrates of phytopathogenic bacterium strain SCt of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae. These syringopeptins were composed of a β-hydroxy fatty acid, a long sequence of aliphatic amino acids, and a lactone moiety of eight amino acids. The amino acid sequences were deduced from a comparison of their tandem mass sepctra with those of known syringopeptins SP-22a and SP-25a. SP(SC)-l and SP(SC)-2 resembled SP-22a, but differed from the latter by 3 amino acids. 相似文献

Substrate Limitation of Bacterial Growth at Meat Surfaces 总被引:10,自引:9,他引:1
C. O. GILL 《Journal of applied microbiology》1976,41(3):401-410
Utilization of the low molecular weight, soluble components of meat by an anaerobic and an aerobic spoilage bacterium was examined. During growth of the anaerobe in a meat juice medium, the only substance utilized in detectable amounts was glucose. The growth of the bacterium on the surface of meat was limited by the rate of diffusion of fermentable substrates from within the meat to the surface. The aerobe utilized amino acids and lactic acid when glucose was exhausted. The growth of the bacterium on the surface of meat was not limited by substrate availability or by the increased pH at the surface resulting from degradation of amino acids. 相似文献

Protaminobacter ruber, having a firm cell wall, could be lyzed by treatment with glycine or penicillin. Among amino acids tested, only glycine showed an excellent effect for the lysis. The optimal amount and time of addition of glycine for the lysis were 6 mg per ml culture and 4 to 5 hr after initiation of the cultivation, respectively. Aeration was necessary for the lysis as well as the growth of P. ruber. Morphological changes during the lysis of the bacterium were confirmed by electron microscopy. Proteins and (δ-ALA dehydratase were excreted into the medium with the progress of lysis. 相似文献

Modified carbon flux during oxygen limited growth of Corynebacterium glutamicum and the consequences for amino acid overproduction 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary The amino acid producing bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum accumulated lactate, succinate and acetate under oxygen-limited growth conditions. Significant restructuring of carbon flux through the central metabolic pathways occurred with a notable decrease in pentose pathway flux and the operation of the TCA cycle in a reductive mode. Simultaneous consumption of residual sugar and organic acids took place when oxygen sufficient conditions were restored though amino acids yields were significantly perturbed. 相似文献

Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), a Gram‐negative capsulated bacterium, is a causative agent of meningitis worldwide. The capsular polysaccharide, a high molecular mass polymer consisting of the repeated units of the polyribosyl‐ribitol‐phosphate, is considered the main virulence factor and it is used as an antigen to vaccines, conjugated to a carrier protein. The industrial production of the polysaccharide requires the cultivation of Hib in rich medium, which impacts process costs and product recovery. In this study, a central composite rotational experimental design strategy was used to access the influence of key components of culture medium (soy peptone, yeast extract and glucose) on biomass formation and polysaccharide production in shake‐flasks. The optimized medium formulation, containing half of the usual yeast extract and soytone concentrations, was further validated in batch bioreactor cultivations. High polysaccharide production (~500 mg/L) was obtained in a cheaper and more competitive production process for use in Hib vaccine production. In addition, simulations of a metabolic model describing Hib central metabolism were used to assess the role of key amino acids on growth. A chemically defined medium supplemented only with amino acids from α‐ketoglutarate and oxaloacetate families as well as phenylalanine was suggested as a promising alternative for reduced acetate accumulation and enhanced polysaccharide production in Hib cultures. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.
