A new strain, Streptomyces venezuelae GY1, producing a poly(vinyl alcohol)-degrading enzyme

Summary An actinomycete strain, which could produce an extracellular poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-degrading enzyme, was isolated from a PVA-contaminated soil sample using PVA as the sole carbon source. The strain was identified as Streptomyces venezuelae according to the whole-nucleotide-sequence analysis of 16S rDNA, the morphological and the physiological characteristics. The strain produced 120 U/l extracellular PVA-degrading enzyme when PVA was used as the sole carbon source. When glucose was used as the sole carbon source, however, the extracellular enzyme activity was very low (12 U/l). This is the first report showing that an actinomycete strain can produce a PVA-degrading enzyme.

A modified method for isolating poly(vinyl alcohol)-degrading bacteria and study of their degradation patterns

An addition of catalase or peroxidase into an agar plate containing poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), was effective for the isolation of PVA-degrading microorganisms. A Gram-negative bacterium, strain TK-2 (-group of proteobacteria), rapidly degraded a high molecular weight PVA to low molecular weight material after 1 day thereby producing oligomers of PVA as shown by gel permeation chromatography. Conversely, Sphingomonas strain TJ-7 did not produce any PVA oligomers, suggesting that the strain TJ-7 degraded PVA from the terminal ends of the molecules, whereas the strain TK-2 cleaved PVA at random.     

Isolation and characterization of a novel poly(vinyl alcohol)-degrading bacterium, Sphingopyxis sp. PVA3

We have isolated a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-degrading bacterium from an activated sludge sample obtained from the drainage of a dyeing factory. Enrichment cultures were performed in media containing PVA as the sole or major carbon source. After several rounds of cultivation on liquid and solid media, we were able to isolate a single colony with PVA-degrading ability (strain PVA3). The bacterium could degrade PVA in the absence of symbionts or cofactors such as pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ). Over 90% of PVA, at an initial concentration of 0.1%, was degraded within a 6-day cultivation. Degradation was confirmed by both iodometric methods and gel permeation chromatography. Examination of the PVA attached to the cells revealed a large increase in carbonyl groups, suggesting the oxidation of hydroxyl groups of the polymer on the surfaces of cells. Addition of PQQ to the culture medium did not enhance the growth and the PVA-degrading rates of strain PVA3. Furthermore, we found that cells grown on PVA generated hydrogen peroxide upon the addition of PVA. The results strongly suggest that the initial oxidation of PVA is mediated via a PVA oxidase, and not a PQQ-dependent dehydrogenase. A biochemical and phylogenetic characterization of the bacterium was performed. The sequence of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene of the bacterium indicated a phylogenetic position of the strain within the genus Sphingopyxis, and the strain was therefore designated Sphingopyxis sp. PVA3.

Effects of molecular weight and stereoregularity on biodegradation of poly(vinyl alcohol) byAlcaligenes faecalis

Summary The biodegradability of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was analyzed with respect to its molecular weight and stereoregularity using the isolated PVA-assimilating microbial strain,Alcaligenes faecalis KK314. The biodegradability of PVA was influenced by its stereoregularity, and the isotactic moiety was preferentially biodegraded. However, there is no difference in the biodegradability based on the molecular weight of PVA being larger than the octamer.

Inhibition of nucleation and growth of ice by poly(vinyl alcohol) in vitrification solution

Control of ice formation is crucial in cryopreservation of biological substances. Successful vitrification using several additives that inhibit ice nucleation in vitrification solutions has previously been reported. Among these additives, here we focused on a synthetic polymer, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and investigated the effects of PVA on nucleation and growth of ice in 35% (w/w) aqueous 1,2-propanediol solution by using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) system equipped with a cryomicroscope. First, the freezing temperature of the solution was measured using the DSC system, and then the change in ice fraction in the solution during cooling was evaluated based on images obtained using the cryomicroscope, at different concentrations of PVA between 0% and 3% (w/w). Based on the ice fraction, the change in residual solution concentration during cooling was also evaluated and then plotted on the state diagram of aqueous 1,2-propanediol solution. Results indicated that, when the partially glassy and partially frozen state was intentionally allowed, the addition of PVA effectively inhibited not only ice nucleation but also ice growth in the vitrification solution. The effect of PVA on ice growth in the vitrification solution was explained based on kinetic limitations mainly due to mass transport. The interfacial kinetics also might limit ice growth in the vitrification solution only when the ice growth rate decreased below a critical value. This coincides with the fact that PVA exhibits a unique antifreeze activity in the same manner as antifreeze proteins when ice growth rate is lower than a critical value.     

Statistical optimization of medium components for extracellular protease production by an extreme haloarchaeon, Halobacterium sp. SP1(1)

Aims:  Optimization of medium components for extracellular protease production by Halobacterium sp. SP1(1) using statistical approach.
Methods and Results:  The significant factors influencing the protease production as screened by Plackett–Burman method were identified as soybean flour and FeCl₃. Response surface methodology such as central composite design was applied for further optimization studies. The concentrations of medium components for higher protease production as optimized using this approach were (g l⁻¹): NaCl, 250; KCl, 2; MgSO₄, 10; tri-Na-citrate, 1·5; soybean flour, 10 and FeCl₃, 0·16. This statistical optimization approach led to production of 69·44 ± 0·811 U ml⁻¹ of protease.
Conclusions:  Soybean flour and FeCl₃ were identified as important factors controlling the production of extracellular protease by Halobacterium sp. SP1(1). The statistical approach was found to be very effective in optimizing the medium components in manageable number of experimental runs with overall 3·9-fold increase in extracellular protease production.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  The present study is the first report on statistical optimization of medium components for production of haloarchaeal protease. The study also explored the possibility of using extracellular protease produced by Halobacterium sp. SP1(1) for various applications like antifouling coatings and fish sauce preparation using cheaper raw material.     

Synthesis and properties of carrageenan grafted copolymer with poly(vinyl alcohol)

The aim of this work was to prepare a carrageenan-g-poly(vinyl alcohol) (CG-g-PVA) polymer using potassium persulphate as an initiator. The effect of different ratios of the polymer blends on the parameters of the grafted polymer was investigated. The grafting ratio decreased with an increase of the CG content in the graft copolymer. The resulting CG-g-PVA was characterized by ATR-FTIR, tensile strength, elongation at break, swelling ratio, contact angle and biodegradation in soil. From the ATR-FTIR the 3,6-anhydride-galactose of the CG showed a peak at 927 cm⁻¹ that was absent in the CG-g-PVA and the ether linkage of PVA-g-CG between the hydroxyl group of PVA and the 3,6-anhydride-galactose of CG showed a peak at 1089 cm⁻¹ in the graft copolymer. The tensile strength and elongation at break decreased with an increase of the CG due to its phase separation. The highest tensile strength was observed at 2:8 CG/PVA. In addition, the swelling ratio decreased and the contact angle increased as a function of the increase of the CG in the grafted copolymer. The best ratio of CG-g-PVA was 2:8 CG/PVA. This graft copolymer was easily biodegraded in natural soil.     

Enhanced production of protease by Pseudoalteromonas arctica PAMC 21717 via statistical optimization of mineral components and fed-batch fermentation

The objective of this study was to statistically optimize the mineral components of the nutritional medium required for enhancing the production of a cold-active extracellular serine-type protease, W-Pro21717, by the Antarctic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas arctica PAMC 21717. Skim milk was identified as the major efficient inducer. Among the 12 components included in the unoptimized medium, skim milk, NaCl, Na₂SO₄, Fe(C₆H₅O₇) (ferric citrate), and KCl were determined, by the Plackett–Burman and Box–Behnken design, to have a major effect on W-Pro21717 production. Fed-batch fermentation (5 L scale) using the mineral-optimized medium supplemented with concentrated skim milk (critical medium component) resulted in a W-Pro21717 activity of 53.4 U/L, a 15-fold increment in production over that obtained using unoptimized flask culture conditions. These findings could be applied to scale up the production of cold-active protease.

Isolation of a thermostable uricase-producing bacterium and study on its enzyme production conditions

A uricase-producing bacterium was isolated from soil with a medium containing uric acid as the only carbon source. Based on its morphological and physiological characteristics, as well as 16S rDNA sequence and phylogenetic tree analysis, this new isolate belong to the genus Microbacterium. After heat treatment at 70 °C for 30 min, the uricase retained about 100% of the initial activity. The enzyme activity remained largely unchanged when it was stored in borate buffer at pH 8.5 at 37 °C for 40 days. The effects of different factors on the enzyme production were studied. Maize milk was the best C and N resources, and the uric acid showed to be an inducer for uricase production. When the strain was cultured at 30 °C at pH 7.5 for 30–36 h, the uricase activity peaked at 1.0 U/ml.
