The production of water-soluble single-sugar glucuronic acid-based oligosaccharides (WSOS) by a cellulose producing strain Gluconacetobacter hansenii PJK was studied in a periodically recycled and fed-batch cultivations using glucose/ethanol or glucose only. Fermentations were carried out in a 2 L jar fermenter equipped with a turbine impeller with 6 flat blades. WSOS were produced constantly but the bacterial cellulose (BC) production stopped at 48 h of cultivation in a periodically recycled culture using the exhausted medium supplemented with glucose and ethanol. Tremendous quantities of WSOS were obtained in fed-batch cultivations using glucose/ethanol (35.6 g/L at 132 h of cultivation) or glucose only (86 g/L after 240 h of cultivation) as the nutritional source. However, the BC production yield under these nutritional conditions decreased significantly in comparison to previous studies about the BC production by the same strain. The overall results revealed that G. hansenii is capable of producing enormous quantities of WSOS compared to those reported previously for compounds of a related chemical nature. Moreover, the WSOS production was found to be dependent on the pH of the culture broth.  相似文献

Two-phase cultures ofTaxus cuspidata were performed using silicone cubes as a second phase in shake flasks for paclitaxel production. Among various taxanes, paclitaxel was selectively adsorbed on the silicon cubes. When silicone cubes were added to suspension culture ofTaxus cuspidata, paclitaxel production increased about 45 folds. The maximum paclitaxel production was 3.95 mg/L when 10% of silicone cubes were added to the culture at the 7th day from inoculation.  相似文献

Acetobacter xylinum, a bacterium which secretes a cellulose nanofiber, moves due to the inverse force of extrusion of the fiber, which accordingly correlates with the fiber production rate. To improve the production, the moving rate of the bacterium was focused to examine the influential factors on the substrates for culture and additives in the culture medium. From the real-time video analysis, the oriented template having a strong interaction with the secreted cellulose nanofibers proved to be suitable for the bacteria to move faster. Furthermore, addition of carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt (CMC) to the culture medium cause the bacteria to move faster in the culture medium. In this case, secreted cellulose nanofiber formed different from a normal cellulose nanofiber. The above result could provide an understanding how the formation of cellulose nanofibers contributes to the production rate as well as the bacterial moving rate.  相似文献

Growth of most bacteria often involves the use of expensive incubated shaker systems. In this report, oxygen-permeable silicone rubber pouches, with oxygen permeability over 100 times higher than other polymers, were employed for growing bacterial cultures. With little, if any, agitation oxygen-permeable silicone rubber pouches produced bacterial growth rates equivalent to growth rates obtained in shaker flasks. The silicone rubber pouch described has a glass cuvette integrated into its design that permits readings of bacterial density without opening the pouch. One can sterilize and store powdered bacterial culture medium in silicone rubber pouches ; therefore, bacterial cultures can be initiated by simply adding water and bacteria.  相似文献

A cellulose-producing strain isolated from rotten apples was identified asGluconace-tobacter hansenii based on its physiological properties and the 16S rDNA complete sequencing method, and specifically namedGluconacetobacter hansenii PJK. The amount of bacterial cellulose (BC) produced byG. hansenii PJK in a shaking incubator was 1.5 times higher than that produced in a static culture. The addition of ethanol to the medium during cultivation enhanced the productivity of bacterial cellulose, plus the supplementation of 1% ethanol into the culture medium made the produced BC aggregate into a big lump and thus protected the bacterial-cellulose-producingG. hansenii PJK cells in the shear stress field from being converted into noncellulose-producing (Cel) mutants. Cells subcultured three times in a medium containing ethanol retained their ability to produce BC without any loss in the production yield.  相似文献

Summary Acetobacter xylinum (Gluconacetobacter xylinus) is a bacterium that produces extracellular cellulose under static culture conditions. The highly reticulated cellulose matrix along with the entrapped cellulose-forming bacteria is commonly referred to as a pellicle. The processed bacterial cellulose membrane/film was modified into a composite bacterial cellulose membrane (CBCM) for pervaporation separation of aqueous–organic mixtures. The CBCM was prepared by coating with alginate or alginate+polyvinylpyrrolidone and cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. The pervaporation performance was determined using aqueous–organic mixtures such as, 1:1 (v/v) water–ethanol, water–isopropanol and water–acetone. The pervaporation performance of the CBCM was more effective for zeotropic mixtures (water–acetone) in comparison to the investigated azeotropic mixtures (water–ethanol and water–isopropanol). The selectivity of CBCM was found to be 4.8, 8.8, 19.8 for water–ethanol, water–isopropanol and water–acetone mixtures, respectively. The permeation flux for the water–acetone mixture was found to be 235 ml/m2/h. The present investigation demonstrated that the CBCM could be employed to concentrate azeotropic as well as zeotrope forming binary mixtures by preferential pervaporation of water, with low energy requirements in contrast to the established method of distillation. In addition, the effects of feed composition, operating temperature, membrane thickness, and method of CBCM preparation on pervaporation performance have been evaluated. Investigations with the CBCM revealed that 94.5% ethanol, 98% acetone and 98.5% isopropanol concentrations could be attained from the initial 50% aqueous mixtures of these chemicals by way of pervaporation. In the case of the isopropanol–water mixture the resolving property of the membrane was more evident as the concentration arrived at was 98.5%, in contrast to other binary mixtures. The surface characteristics of the CBCM were revealed by scanning electron microscopy. In view of its properties the CBCM can be useful for pervaporation separation of these chemicals at moderate temperatures and pressure. The CBCM could be employed in the downstream processing of heat-labile and flavor-imparting volatile molecules in the field of food biotechnology and fabrication of membrane bioreactors for on-line product purification. Further studies are under progress to use the membrane for the immobilization of food processing enzymes.  相似文献

Oxygen level in mammalian cell culture is often controlled by placing culture vessels in humidified incubators with a defined gas phase partial pressure of oxygen (pO2gas). Because the cells are consuming oxygen supplied by diffusion, a difference between pO2gas and that experienced by the cells (pO2cell) arises, which is maximal when cells are cultured in vessels with little or no oxygen permeability. Here, we demonstrate theoretically that highly oxygen‐permeable silicone rubber membranes can be used to control pO2cell during culture of cells in monolayers and aggregates much more accurately and can achieve more rapid transient response following a disturbance than on polystyrene and fluorinated ethylene‐propylene copolymer membranes. Cell attachment on silicone rubber was achieved by physical adsorption of fibronectin or Matrigel. We use these membranes for the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells to cardiomyocytes and compare the results with culture on polystyrene or on silicone rubber on top of polystyrene. The fraction of cells that are cardiomyocyte‐like increases with decreasing pO2 only when using oxygen‐permeable silicone membrane‐based dishs, which contract on silicone rubber but not polystyrene. The high permeability of silicone rubber results in pO2cell being equal to pO2gas at the tissue‐membrane interface. This, together with geometric information from histological sections, facilitates development of a model from which the pO2 distribution within the resulting aggregates is computed. Silicone rubber membranes have significant advantages over polystyrene in controlling pO2cell, and these results suggest they are a valuable tool for investigating pO2 effects in many applications, such as stem cell differentiation. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

A new bacterial cellulose substrate for mammalian cell culture   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
A new substrate for mammalian cell culture was developed using a cellulose membrane produced byAcetobacter aceti. Modification of the ionic charge of the membrane and adsorption of collagen to it promoted cellular adhesion to the membrane surface. The growth of eight kinds of cells on the membrane, was comparable to that achieved in plastic Petri dishes. The membrane was tested for use in the production of recombinant Erythroid Differentiation Factor (EDF)/activin A using genetically engineered Chinese hamster ovary cells. Both the viability of the cells and production of EDF/activin A were maintained for about 1 month, while cultures on plastic dishes lasted only 12 days. It was considered that the mechanism of improved cell viability was related to the ultrastructure of the cellulose membrane.  相似文献

A catheter surface was modified by coating a cellulose acetate polymer. Adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 to the surface was investigated by exposing bacterial cultures to three treatments: polymer impregnated with silver ions (Ag+), polymer surfaces coated with lectins and a combination of Ag+ and a lectin coating. The effective concentration of Ag+ providing protection against bacterial biofilm development was 100g/ml and higher. Lectins alone at 10% also showed inhibition of bacterial attachment. However, the best result was achieved against bacterial adhesion and growth on surfaces using a combination of 100 g Ag+/ml and a lectin coating as a surface treatment. This surface treatment was also effective against both fresh culture and a two-week-old culture containing P. aeruginosa producing exopolymers. Our results suggest that Ag+impregnation combined with a lectin coating warrants further investigation as a potential means of protecting catheters.  相似文献

The effect of pH, sucrose and ammonium sulphate concentrations on the production of nata-de-coco, a form of bacterial cellulose, by Acetobacter xylinum was studied. Comparisons for physical properties like thickness, wet weight, water-holding capacity (WHC), moisture content and hardness, a textural parameter were done on nata-de-coco grown in tender coconut water medium supplemented with varying concentrations of sucrose and ammonium sulphate at different pH values. The results were analysed by fitting a second-order polynomial regression equation. Response surface methodology was used to study the effect of the three variables. The study showed that A. xylinum could effectively use sucrose as the sole carbon source in coconut water medium and that cellulose production was more dependent on pH than either sucrose or ammonium sulphate concentrations. Maximum thickness of nata was obtained at pH 4.0 with 10% sucrose and 0.5% ammonium sulphate concentrations. These conditions also produced good quality nata-de-coco with a smooth surface and soft chewy texture. The study will enable efficient utilization of coconut water, a hitherto wasted byproduct of coconut industry and will also provide a new product dimension to the aggrieved coconut farmers who are not getting the right price for their product.  相似文献

Utilization of -xylose as carbon source for production of bacterial cellulose was studied. Seventeen strains of acetic acid bacteria were screened for their cellulose productivity in -glucose, -xylose, and -xylose/ -xylulose mixed media, respectively. -Xylose was not well metabolized by any bacterial strains that exhibited high cellulose production in -glucose medium. Consequently, bacterial cellulose production in -xylose medium was unsuccessful. -Xylose, however, became utilizable substrate for bacterial strains if xylose-isomerase was added to the medium. Acetobacter xylinus IFO 15606 was the best cellulose producer in -xylose/ -xylulose mixed medium, so cultural conditions were studied for enhanced cellulose production. With pH controlled, the strain could produce cellulose at a yield exceeding 0.3 g per 100 ml of -xylose/ -xylulose mixed medium, which was comparable to the yields in -glucose medium by excellent producers in the literature.  相似文献

Gluconobacter oxydans that produces the cellulose was isolated. In order to confirm the chemical features of cellulose, various spectrophtometeric analysis were carried out using electron microscopy, X-ray diffractogram, and CP/MAS13C NMR. The purified cellulose was found to be identical to that ofAcetobacter xylinum. For effective production of cellulose, the various carbon and nitrogen sources, mixture of calcium and magnesium ions, and biotin concentration were investigated in flask cultures. Among the various carbon sources, glucose and sucrose were found to be best for the production of cellulose, with maximum concentration of 2.41 g/L obtained when a mixture of 10 g/L of each glucose and sucrose were used. With regard to the nitrogen sources, when 20 g/L of yeast extract was used, the maximum concentration of bacterial cellulose was reached. The concentration of cellulose was increased with mixture of 2 mM of each Ca2+ and Mg2+. The optimum biotin concentration for the production of cellulose was in the range of 15 to 20 mg/L. At higher biotin concentration (25–35 mg/L), the bacterial cellulose production was lower.  相似文献

Summary The metabolism ofBacteroides cellulosolvens was studied on cellobiose and cellulose as energy and carbon sources. The growth rate was faster on cellobiose; however, growth on cellulose resulted in consumption of 55% more hexose equivalents, and in production of 49% more biomass, and 30% more metabolites (ethanol, acetate, and lactate). On each substrateB. cellulosolvens exhibited two distinct ranges of molar growth yields (Y H g cells/mol hexose). At low substrate concentrations (less than 30 mmol) hexoseY H values were 25.5 for cellulose and 28.5 for cellobiose, while at hexose levels greater than 30 mmolY H values were 13.5 and 15, respectively. Shifts in metabolism towards greater lactic acid production resulted in decreased ATP production; however, this did not cause early growth cessation, as these shifts occurred after the drop inY H.Issued as NRCC No. 27409.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of two endophytic bacterial elicitors (Pseudomonas sp. and Enterobacter sp.) on the production of alkaloids in protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) of Pinellia ternata Breit. Both bacterial strains increased the growth rate of P. ternata PLBs. Pseudomonas sp. promoted the differentiation of the PLBs, whereas Enterobacter sp. inhibited PLB differentiation. The bacterial strains increased guanosine production in PLBs by 9–166%, inosine production by 2–33%, and trigonelline production by 114–1140% compared to the control. For Pseudomonas sp., guanosine and trigonelline production was greater when bacterial extracts were added to the PLB suspension cultures rather than living cells (co-culture treatment). Inosine production was similar in both the bacterial extract and co-culture treatments. For the Enterobacter sp., guanosine, inosine, and trigonelline production tended to be greatest when living cells were added to the PLB suspension cultures rather than bacterial extracts. These results suggest that Pseudomonas sp. and Enterobacter sp. could increase alkaloid yield from P. ternata under field or tissue culture conditions. We also observed that Pseudomonas sp. and Enterobacter sp. produced some of the same alkaloids as their host plants. Additional study needs to be done to determine if these endophytic bacteria could be used to produce alkaloids in the fermentation industry.  相似文献

Aims: Bacterial cellulose is an extracellular polysaccharide secreted by Acetobacter xylinum, which has become a novel material increasingly used in food and medical industries. However, its broad application is limited by its low yield and high cost. 1‐Methylcyclopropene (1‐MCP) is a potent inhibitor to either exogenous or endogenous ethylene during the biological senescence of plants, which has been broadly applied in commercial preservation of fruits and vegetables. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 1‐MCP on both the growth of Acet.  xylinum and its cellulose production to demonstrate the potential enhancement of bacterial cellulose yield. Methods and Results: Three groups of samples were fermented under agitated culture with 125 rev min?1 rotational speed. To the culture media, 0·14 mg of 1‐MCP contained in 100 mg dextrose powder was added on assigned days or on the first culture day only. Results from the measurement of bacterial cell concentration and bacterial cellulose yield at the end of a 12‐day culture demonstrated that cultures excluding 1‐MCP displayed a higher cell concentration and a lower cellulose production, while cultures containing 1‐MCP produced 15·6% more cellulose (1‐MCP added on day 1) and 25·4% (1‐MCP added on each assigned day) with less biomass. Conclusions: 1‐MCP was able to affect the growth of Acet. xylinum cells and resulted in increasing bacterial cellulose yield up to 25·4% over controls, which did not contain 1‐MCP. Significance and Impact of the Study: This was the first study to use the growth inhibitor of plants to investigate its effects on bacterial growth and production. It also demonstrated a significant enhancement of bacterial cellulose yield by the addition of 1‐MCP during the common agitated culture of Acet. xylinum.  相似文献

Uptake of glutaraldehyde to bacterial spores, germinating and outgrowing spores, vegetative cells (sporing and non-sporing bacteria), various types of rubber, plastic and an endoscope was investigated. Escherichia coli NCTC 10418 exhibited greatest uptake, followed by Bacillus subtilis NCTC 8236 vegetative cells and Staphylococcus aureus NCTC 6571. Germinated and outgrowing B. subtilis spores adsorbed more glutaraldehyde than resting spores, but less than vegetative cells. Low concentrations of alkaline and acid glutaraldehyde increased the surface hydrophobicity and inhibited the germination of bacterial spores, the alkaline solution to a greater extent in both cases.
Rubbers exhibited varying degrees of uptake and are listed in decreasing order of uptake: red rubber, fluorinated rubber (Vinescol), silicone rubber (Silescol), butyl rubber (Butyl XX). Polypropylene, the only plastic examined, was found not to adsorb any glutaraldehyde. The endoscope adsorbed more glutaraldehyde (per gram) than fluorinated rubber but less than red rubber. No damage was observed.  相似文献

Extracellular culture fluid of Fibrobacter succinogenes S85 grown on glucose, cellobiose, cellulose or wheat straw was analysed by 2D-NMR spectroscopy. Cellodextrins did not accumulate in the culture medium of cells grown on cellulose or straw. Maltodextrins and maltodextrin-1P were identified in the culture medium of glucose, cellobiose and cellulose grown cells. New glucose derivatives were identified in the culture fluid under all the substrate conditions. In particular, a compound identified as cellobionic acid accumulated at high levels in the medium of F. succinogenes S85 cultures. The production of cellobionic acid (and cellobionolactone also identified) was very surprising in an anaerobic bacterium. The results suggest metabolic shifts when cells were growing on solid substrate cellulose or straw compared to soluble sugars.  相似文献

Microbial adhesion of four bacterial and two yeast strains isolated from explanted voice prostheses to silicone rubber before and after conditioning with a biosurfactant obtained from the probiotic bacterium Streptococcus thermophilus A was investigated in a parallel plate flow chamber. The silicone rubber with and without an adsorbed biosurfactant layer was characterized using contact angle measurements. Water contact angles indicated that the silicone rubber surface with adsorbed biosurfactant was more hydrophilic (58 degrees) than bare silicone rubber (109 degrees). The results obtained showed that the biosurfactant was effective in decreasing the initial deposition rates, and the number of bacterial cells adhering after 4 h, for all microorganisms tested. A decrease in the initial deposition rate was observed for Rothia dentocariosa GBJ 52/2B and Staphylococcus aureus GB 2/1 from 1937+/-194 to 179+/-21 microorganisms cm(-2) s(-1) and from 1255+/-54 to 233+/-26 microorganisms cm(-2) s(-1), respectively, accounting for an 86% reduction of the initial deposition rate for both strains. The number of bacterial cells adhering to the silicone rubber with preadsorbed biosurfactant after 4 h was further reduced by 89% and 97% by the two strains, respectively. The two yeast strains tested showed less reduction in adhesion after 4 h, to values between 67% and 70%. Such a pretreatment with surface-active compounds may constitute a promising strategy to reduce the microbial colonization rate of silicone rubber voice prostheses.  相似文献

Cellulose production by Acetobacter strains is enhanced by the addition of a small amount of cellulose to the production culture. The effect of an endo-β-1, 4-glucanase from Bacillus subtilis on the cellulose production by Acebohacter xylinum BPR2001 was examined by adding various amounts of the purified glucanase to the culture. The addition of a small amount of this glucanase enhanced cellulose production. Furthermore, it reduced the amount of a polysaccharide called acetan produced. However, an active-site mutant enzyme of the glucanase, which showed no enzyme activity but still had cellulose-binding ability, had no effect on cellulose production. It was concluded, therefore, that the endoglucanase activity itself, but not the cellulose-binding ability, was essential for the enhancement of cellulose production. The structural properties of the cellulose produced in the presence of the endoglucanase were found to be almost identical to those of native bacterial cellulose.  相似文献
