Kojic acid synthesis genes regulation was investigated in Aspergillus oryzae. Our results indicate that kojic acid production was lost in the laeA disruption strain, but was recovered in the LaeA complement strain. Real-time PCR also confirmed that expression of kojic acid biosynthesis genes decreased in the laeA disruption strain, indicating that these genes are under the control of LaeA. 相似文献

LaeA of Aspergillus nidulans is a putative methyltransferase and a component of the velvet complex; it is thought to mainly affect expression of genes required for the production of secondary metabolites. We found that although Aspergillus flavus CA14 laeA deletion mutants showed no aflatoxin production, expression of some of the early genes involved in aflatoxin formation, but not the later genes, could still be detected. The mutants grown in minimal medium supplemented with simple sugars and on some complex media exhibited altered conidial development. On potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium the deletion mutants showed reduced conidial chain elongation, increased production of conidiophores, and decreased colony hydrophobicity when compared to the parental strain. The loss of hydrophobicity and the other developmental changes in the laeA deletion mutants could affect the ability of the fungus to produce aflatoxins. 相似文献

VeA is the founding member of the velvet superfamily of fungal regulatory proteins. This protein is involved in light response and coordinates sexual reproduction and secondary metabolism in Aspergillus nidulans. In the dark, VeA bridges VelB and LaeA to form the VelB-VeA-LaeA (velvet) complex. The VeA-like protein VelB is another developmental regulator, and LaeA has been known as global regulator of secondary metabolism. In this study, we show that VelB forms a second light-regulated developmental complex together with VosA, another member of the velvet family, which represses asexual development. LaeA plays a key role, not only in secondary metabolism, but also in directing formation of the VelB-VosA and VelB-VeA-LaeA complexes. LaeA controls VeA modification and protein levels and possesses additional developmental functions. The laeA null mutant results in constitutive sexual differentiation, indicating that LaeA plays a pivotal role in inhibiting sexual development in response to light. Moreover, the absence of LaeA results in the formation of significantly smaller fruiting bodies. This is due to the lack of a specific globose cell type (Hülle cells), which nurse the young fruiting body during development. This suggests that LaeA controls Hülle cells. In summary, LaeA plays a dynamic role in fungal morphological and chemical development, and it controls expression, interactions, and modification of the velvet regulators. 相似文献

A strain designated M866, producing kojic acid with a high yield, was obtained by combining induced mutation using ion beam implantation and ethyl methane sulfonate treatment of a wild type strain of Aspergillus oryzae B008. The amount of kojic acid produced by the strain M866 in a shaking flask was 40.2 g/L from 100 g/L of glucose, which was 1.7 times higher than that produced by wild strain (23.58 g/L). When the mixture of glucose and xylose was used as carbon source, the resulting kojic acid production was raised with the increasing of glucose ratios in the mixture. With concentrations of glucose at 75 g/L and xylose at 25 g/L mixed in the medium, the production of kojic acid reached 90.8 %, which was slightly lower than with glucose as the sole source of carbon. In addition, the kojic acid fermentation of the concentrated hydrolysate from corn stalk was also investigated in this study, the maximum concentration of kojic acid accumulated at the end of the fermentation was 33.1 g/L and this represents the yield based on reducing sugar consumed and the overall productivity of 0.36 g/g and 0.17 g/L/h, respectively. 相似文献

The crystalline compound produced in large quantity in liquid medium by Aspergillus parasiticus UNBF A12, a high aflatoxin-producing strain isolated from the air in the Federal District of Brazil, was identified as kojic acid. The effect of pH on the production of crystalline kojic acid and aflatoxins by the strain was studied. Fourteen single spore isolates were evaluated for their capacity to produce kojic acid crystals and aflatoxins. 相似文献

By combining induced mutation, using NTG and UV irradiation, and protoplasting of a wild type strain of Aspergillus oryzae ATCC 22788, a hyper-producing strain was obtained that accumulated 41 g kojic acid l(-1) in shake-flasks, which was 100-fold higher than that in the wild type strains. Similar production of kojic acid was obtained in 5 l stirred-tank fermentations. 相似文献

A fungal strain (S33-2), able to grow on cooked starch and produce a substantially high level of kojic acid, was isolated from morning glory flower ( Bixa orellana ). The fungus was characterized and identified as Aspergillus flavus. The effect of different types of starch (sago, potato and corn starch) on growth of strain S33-2 and kojic acid production was examined using shake flasks. It was found that strain S33-2 grew well on all types of starch investigated. However, kojic acid production was highest when corn starch was used, with the maximum kojic acid obtained being comparable to fermentation using glucose. The highest kojic acid production (19·2 g l−1 ) was obtained when 75 g l−1 corn starch was used. This gave a yield, based on starch consumed, and an overall productivity of 0·256 g g−1 and 0·04 g l−1 h−1 , respectively. 相似文献

Penicillium chrysogenum is an excellent model fungus to study the molecular mechanisms of control of expression of secondary metabolite genes. A key global regulator of the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites is the LaeA protein that interacts with other components of the velvet complex (VelA, VelB, VelC, VosA). These components interact with LaeA and regulate expression of penicillin and PR-toxin biosynthetic genes in P. chrysogenum. Both LaeA and VelA are positive regulators of the penicillin and PR-toxin biosynthesis, whereas VelB acts as antagonist of the effect of LaeA and VelA. Silencing or deletion of the laeA gene has a strong negative effect on penicillin biosynthesis and overexpression of laeA increases penicillin production. Expression of the laeA gene is enhanced by the P. chrysogenum autoinducers 1,3 diaminopropane and spermidine. The PR-toxin gene cluster is very poorly expressed in P. chrysogenum under penicillin-production conditions (i.e. it is a near-silent gene cluster). Interestingly, the downregulation of expression of the PR-toxin gene cluster in the high producing strain P. chrysogenum DS17690 was associated with mutations in both the laeA and velA genes. Analysis of the laeA and velA encoding genes in this high penicillin producing strain revealed that both laeA and velA acquired important mutations during the strain improvement programs thus altering the ratio of different secondary metabolites (e.g. pigments, PR-toxin) synthesized in the high penicillin producing mutants when compared to the parental wild type strain. Cross-talk of different secondary metabolite pathways has also been found in various Penicillium spp.: P. chrysogenum mutants lacking the penicillin gene cluster produce increasing amounts of PR-toxin, and mutants of P. roqueforti silenced in the PR-toxin genes produce large amounts of mycophenolic acid. The LaeA-velvet complex mediated regulation and the pathway cross-talk phenomenon has great relevance for improving the production of novel secondary metabolites, particularly of those secondary metabolites which are produced in trace amounts encoded by silent or near-silent gene clusters. 相似文献

An unstructured model based on logistic and Luedeking-Piret equations was proposed to describe growth, substrate consumption and kojic acid production by Aspergillus flavus Link strain 44-1 in batch fermentation and also in a resuspended cell system. The model showed that kojic acid production was non-growth associated. The maximum kojic acid and cell concentrations obtained in batch fermentations using the fermenter with optimized dissolved oxygen control (32.5 g/l and 11.8 g/l, respectively) and using a shake-flask (36.5 and 12.3 g/l, respectively) were not significantly different. However, the maximum specific growth rate and a non-growth-associated rate constant for kojic acid formation (n) for batch fermentation using the fermenter (0.085/h and 0.0125 g kojic acid/g cell.h, respectively) were approximately three and two times higher than the values obtained for fermentation using a shake-flask, respectively. Efficient conversion of glucose to kojic acid was achieved in a resuspended pellet or mycelial system, in a solution containing only glucose with citrate buffer at pH 3.5 and at a temperature of 30 °C. The resuspended cell material in the glucose solution was still active in synthesizing kojic acid after prolonged incubation (up to about 600 h). The rate constant of kojic acid production (n) in a resuspended cell system using 100 g glucose/l was almost constant at an average value of 0.011 g kojic acid/g cell.h up to a cell concentration of 19.2 g/l, above which it decreased. A drastic reduction of n was observed at a cell concentration of 26.1 g/l. However, the yield based on glucose consumed (0.45 g/g) was similar for all cell concentrations investigated. 相似文献
