The formation and regeneration of mycelial protoplasts in hyper lignolytic fungus,strain IZU-154

Over 2 × 10⁷/ml protoplasts were obtained from mycelia of hyper lignolytic fungus (nomenclatured as strain IZU-154) by treatment with the lytic enzyme NovoZym 234 in the presence of 0.05 M maleic acid buffer (pH 5.6) containing 0.6 M MgSO₄. The protoplasts regenerated at more than 10% of frequency on solid 2% agar medium containing 0.6 M sucrose as an osmotic stabilizer overlaid with 0.5% agar containing the stabilizer. In the determination of the lignolytic activities of 50 regenerants from protoplasts, 2 strains which degraded more than 56% of the lignin during incubation for 30 d and showed activity higher than the parent were found. The regeneration from protoplasts of this fungus was suggested to be useful for the breeding of strains having higher lignolytic activity than this fungus.     

Formation and Regeneration of Protoplasts of the Actinorhizal Nitrogen-Fixing Actinomycete Frankia

Production of wine from mango (Magnifera indica L.) using Saccharomyces and Schizosaccharomyces species isolated from palm wine

Juice extracted from pulp of the mature ripe tropical fruit, mango ( Magnifera indica L.), containing 15.9% soluble solids, was fermented with four strains of yeast isolated from palm wine. Two of the strains belonged to the genus Schizosaccharomyces (T1 and T2) while the other two were Saccharomyces (B2 and M1). The two strains of Schizosaccharomyces were found to be suitable for the production of sweet, table mango wine with alcohol contents of 8.0 and 9.0% for T1 and T2, respectively. The two strains of Saccharomyces were found suitable for the production of dry mango fruit wines containing 10.0% alcohol.     

Construction of cellulase hyperproducing strains derived from polyploids of Trichoderma reesei

The mycelial mat of Trichoderma reesei strain QM 6a was treated with 0.1% (w/v) colchicine solution for 14 days and designated M14. The cellulase productivity of strain M14 was not much higher than that of the original strain. When conidia of M14 were treated with ethylmethane sulphonate (EMS) solution, the cellulase hyperproducers, M14-1 and M14-2, were isolated using a selection medium containing Avicel. The DNA content of M14-1 and M14-2 was higher than that of the original strain. Cellulase productivity per mycelium of these strains increased and was higher than that of the original strain. The cellulase productivity did not change through ten generations when these strains were cultivated successively on a medium containing Avicel. It was concluded that cellulase hyperproducers, whose cellulase productivity per mycelium increased, could be obtained when the conidia of strain M14 were treated with EMS.     

Method of purification of glucose oxidase by means of affinity chromatography on immunoabsorbent]

The possibility to purify glucose oxidase from Penicillium vitale on immunosorbent containing specific antibodies to the enzyme covalently bound with Sepharose 4B is studied. The method of affinity chromatography was applied, beside routine methods of fractionating blood serum proteins, to isolate specific antibodies from antiserum of rabbits immunized with glucose oxidase. Immobilized on Sepharose glucose oxidase was used as biospecific sorbent. Specific antibodies to the enzyme were isolated using chromatograpy of gamma-globulins mixture followed by protein desorption from the column with 1 M NaC1 and 3% glucose. Antibodies were immobilized by their covalent binding to activated Sepharose. The immunosorbent obtained was used to purify low active preparation of glucose oxidase by means of affinity chromatography under conditions worked out for the antibodies isolation. The enzyme was eluted from the column with 1 M NaC1 (pH 3.0) containing 3% glucose. 5-Fold purified enzyme preparation was isolated.     

Isolation of four aquatic streptomycetes strains capable of growth on organochlorine pesticides

Ninety-three wild-type isolates identified as actinomycetes were tested against 11 organochlorine pesticides (OPs): aldrin, chlordane, DDD, DDE, DDT, dieldrin, heptachlor, and heptachlor epoxides, lindane, and methoxychlor. Qualitative screening agar assays displayed 62-78% tolerance of strains to OPs. Four strains designed M4, M7, M9 and M15 were selected based on multi-OP-tolerance, and identified as members of the streptomycetes group. Different growth profiles were observed in cultures of the four selected streptomycetes cultured in synthetic medium containing 5-50 microg x l(-1) aldrin or chlordane or lindane. Increase of aldrin removal by the selected microorganisms was concomitant with the 4.8-36.0 microg x l(-1) pesticide concentration range. After 72 h of streptomycete M7 growth in synthetic medium containing 48.0 microg x l(-1) aldrin, the remaining OP concentration in the supernatant was approximately 10% of the initial concentration. Also, in stationary growth phase less than 2.5 microg x l(-1) aldrin residual concentration was detected in the medium.

Effects of Amino Acid Substitutions at the Active Site in Escherichia Coli β-Galactosidase

Forty-nine amino acid substitutions were made at four positions in the Escherichia coli enzyme β-galactosidase; three of the four targeted amino acids are thought to be part of the active site. Many of the substitutions were made by converting the appropriate codon in lacZ to an amber codon, and using one of 12 suppressor strains to introduce the replacement amino acid. Glu-461 and Tyr-503 were replaced, independently, with 13 amino acids. All 26 of the strains containing mutant enzymes are Lac(-). Enzyme activity is reduced to less than 10% of wild type by substitutions at Glu-461 and to less than 1% of wild type by substitutions at Tyr-503. Many of the mutant enzymes have less than 0.1% wild-type activity. His-464 and Met-3 were replaced with 11 and 12 amino acids, respectively. Strains containing any one of these mutant proteins are Lac(+). The results support previous evidence that Glu-461 and Tyr-503 are essential for catalysis, and suggest that His-464 is not part of the active site. Site-directed mutagenesis was facilitated by construction of an f1 bacteriophage containing the complete lacZ gene on a single EcoRI fragment.     

Dipeptidyl Aminopeptidase III of Guinea-Pig Brain: Specificity for Short Oligopeptide Sequences

Abstract: A dipeptidyl aminopeptidase III-type activity has been purified from the cytoplasm of guinea-pig brain using arginyl-arginyl-7-amido-4 methylcoumarin as substrate. The enzyme was purified 754-fold relative to the crude homogenate and with a 12.7% recovery. The purified enzyme was found to have a relative molecular weight of 85,000 and consists of one polypeptide chain of relative molecular weight 80,000, on the basis of its migration on calibrated sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gel. It is highly sensitive to the presence of chelating agents, sulphydryl reactive agents, and the dipeptide Tyr-Tyr. Dithiothreitol (1 m M ) reduced activity by 28%, and 36 and 65% inhibition was noted with phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride and puromycin (both at 1 m M ), respectively. Little or no inhibition was observed with bestatin, bacitracin, captopril, amastatin, and arphamenine B. The purified enzyme released dipeptide moieties from a wide range of peptides including enkephalin sequences and also angiotensin sequences up to the octapeptide angiotensin II. These sequences inhibited the hydrolysis of arginyl-arginyl-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin by dipeptidyl aminopeptidase III with K _i values in the micromolar range. No hydrolysis was observed with angiotensin I or with peptide sequences containing more than 10 amino acids. No hydrolysis was observed also with peptide sequences containing a Pro residue on either side of the sissile bond. Peptides containing less than four amino acids were not hydrolysed.     

In vitro studies on lymphocyte differentiation. II. Generation of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-positive cells in long-term cultures of mouse bone marrow.

The enzyme TdT is the earliest known marker of lymphocytic differentiation in rodents. Cells containing this enzyme were demonstrated in suspension cultures of mouse bone marrow cells that had been maintained in vitro for periods of 7 to 45 days. The cells were detected by immunofluorescence using purified antibodies to homogeneous TdT. Between 0.04 and 2.0% of cultured bone marrow cells from a variety of mouse strains were positive. More than 40% of the TdT-positive cells incorporated 3H-thymidine during a 20-min pulse. Surface Ig and Thy-1 antigens were not detected on the TdT-positive cells. The prevalence of TdT-positive cells was decreased 10-fold in cultures that had been treated with 10(-6) M hydrocortisone 24 hr before harvesting. The results indicate that lymphoid progenitor cells can be generated in vitro.
