利用渗透交联固定化细胞促进生物转化

固定化技术已在生物工程中得到广泛的实际应用,特别是应用于生物转化以提高酶或细胞的稳定性,实现连续操作等。对于含胞内酶的细胞的生物转化．一般先破碎细胞,使酶释放出来,再进行酶固定化。由于酶的稳定性通常与细胞膜的结台有关^[1],细胞破碎中常导致酶的失活。如果不破碎细胞,对完整细胞固定化,又会有传质困难抑制酶活力的发挥。我们研究出渗透交联固定化细胞技术以解决这个矛盾。先采用某种试剂(多为表面活性剂)处理细胞,提高细胞的通透性,再进行交联固定化．可以保证酶的活力破坏较小,又减小了传质阻力。既提高了固定化细胞的稳定性,又提高了固定化细胞的表观酶活。称这种固定化技术为渗透交联固定化细胞技术。Prabhuaney等采用CTAB-戊二醛处理聚丙烯酰胺凝胶包理的含青霉素酰化酶E. coli细胞^[2]。Nmhida采用1,6-己二胺-戊二醛处理含天冬氨酸酶的E．Coli细胞^[3]。渗透交联固定化处理会损伤细胞和酶是这种技术的一个矛盾。本文采用多乙烯多胺-戊二处理方法．因多乙烯多胺既起到表面活性剂的作用．又是交联剂。而且渗透能力比CTAB和1,6-已二 胺为低,故对细胞和酶损伤较小。

Immobilization of Escherichia coli Cells Containing Aspartase Activity with Polyurethane and Its Application for l-Aspartic Acid Production

Whole cells of Escherichia coli containing aspartase activity were immobilized by mixing a cell suspension with a liquid isocyanate-capped polyurethane prepolymer (Hypol). The immobilized cell preparation was used to convert ammonium fumarate to l-aspartic acid. Properties of the immobilized E. coli cells containing aspartase were investigated with a batch reactor. A 1.67-fold increase in the l-aspartic acid production rate was observed at 37 degrees C as compared to 25 degrees C operating temperature. The pH optimum was broad, ranging from 8.5 to 9.2. Increasing the concentration of ammonium fumarate to 1.5 M from 1.0 M negatively affected the reaction rate. l-Aspartic acid was produced at an average rate of 2.18 x 10 mol/min per g (wet weight) of immobilized E. coli cells with a 37 degrees C substrate solution consisting of 1.0 M ammonium fumarate with 1 mM Mg (pH 9.0).     

Influence of increased aspartate availability on lysine formation by a recombinant strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum and utilization of fumarate

Aspartate availability was increased in Corynebacterium glutamicum strains to assess its influence on lysine production. Upon addition of fumarate to a strain with a feedback-resistant aspartate kinase, the lysine yield increased from 20 to 30 mM. This increase was accompanied by the excretion of malate and succinate. In this strain, fumaric acid was converted to aspartate by fumarate hydratase, malate dehydrogenase, and aspartate amino transferase activity. To achieve the direct conversion of fumarate to aspartate, shuttle vectors containing the aspA+ (aspartase) gene of Escherichia coli were constructed. These constructions were introduced into C. glutamicum, which was originally devoid of the enzyme aspartase. This resulted in an aspartase activity of 0.3 U/mg (70% of the aspartase activity in E. coli) with plasmid pZ1-9 and an activity of up to 1.05 U/mg with plasmid pCE1 delta. In aspA+-expressing strains, lysine excretion was further increased by 20%. Additionally, in strains harboring pCE1 delta, up to 27 mM aspartate was excreted. This indicates that undetermined limitations in the sequence of reactions from aspartate to lysine exist in C. glutamicum.

嗜酸热硫化叶菌麦芽寡粉基海藻糖合酶基因的克隆和表达

The gene of MTSase (maltooligosyltrehalose synthase) from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius ATCC49426 was amplified by PCR. The primers were designed according to the published sequence of homologous gene from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius ATCC33909. This gene was inserted into the plasmid pBV220 and the resultant recombinant plasmid pBV220-GT was transformed to E. coli DH5 alpha. The activity of recombinant enzyme was about 10 u/g(wet cell). In order to improve the expression level of target protein, some nucleotides in the 3' and 5' of the gene were modified to optimize the second structure of mRNA by PCR amplification using the new primers devised according to the biosoftware GOLDKEY2.0. As a result, the activity of recombinant enzyme increase to 19.8 u/g(wet cell). Then, the helping plasmid pUBS520 which carried the gene encoding the tRNA of rare codons AGG and AGA was transformed to the recombinant strain. But it took little effect.     

Adsorption of aspartase onto hydrophobic cloth for conversion of ammonium fumarate

Summary A simple aspartase assay was developed. Aspartase fromEscherichia coli Crooks strain was adsorbed to -naphthyl cotton cloth by hydrophobic interaction. The adsorbed enzyme did not desorb in 1 M ammonium fumarate. The adsorbed enzyme exhibited the same pH vs. activity curve as free enzyme and had a half life of approx. 40 weeks. A column packed with the adsorbed aspartase showed 100% conversion of 1 M ammonium fumarate at a space velocity of approx. 2.     

A study of polynucleotide phosphorylase production by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Escherichia coli</Emphasis> in a hollow fibre reactor

A 30-l hollow fibre reactor with continuous fermentation for cell recycling of Escherichia coli AS 1.183 was used to remove the inhibitory effects on cell growth and extend the fast growth phase to increase the yield of polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) in E. coli cells. When the dilution rate was 1.5 h⁻¹, the cell concentration of E. coli reached 235 g/l (wet wt, 70% moisture content), with PNPase activity above 90 u/g (wet wt). With the dilution rate is 1.0 h⁻¹, the fermentor volumetric productivity of PNPase in a hollow fiber reactor can reach 974 (u/h * l) compared to 20 (u/h * l) in a conventional batch culture.     

疏水吸附固定化天冬氨酸酶及其性质的研究

Anaerobic digestion of alcohol sulfate (anionic surfactant) rich wastewater--batch experiments. Part I: influence of the surfactant concentration

Textile wet processing wastewater (e.g., from cotton desizing) contains high concentrations of surfactants as well as readily biodegradable compounds like starch and other carbohydrates. Decyl sulfate (DS, surfactant) and soluble starch were used as model pollutants for biodegradation batch experiments. Very high loadings of the biomass were applied (DS: 21.7-217 g/kg cell dry weight (CDW); starch: 910 g/kg cell dry weight) to study inhibitory effects of the surfactant on the degradation cascade of the biopolymer. The starch hydrolysis was inhibited above sludge loadings of 65 g DS/kg CDW. Acidogenesis was the degradation step with the highest resistance towards inhibitory effects of the surfactant, whereas methanogenesis proved to be the most sensitive. The effects of the surfactant were described by the change of the methane evolution, which was reduced by 50% in 87 days with an addition of 58 g DS/kg CDW. The surfactant caused a high temporary accumulation of intermediates like volatile fatty acids. At the highest loading (217 g DS/kg CDW) the conversion of the substrate to methane was only minor.     

Cloning and over-expression of thermostable Bacillus sp. YM55-1 aspartase and site-directed mutagenesis for probing a catalytic residue.

A thermostable aspartase gene (aspB) from Bacillus sp. YM55-1 was cloned and the gene sequenced. The aspB gene (1407 bp ORF) encodes a protein with a molecular mass of 51 627 Da, consisting of 468 amino-acid residues. An amino-acid sequence comparison revealed that Bacillus YM55-1 aspartase shared 71% homology with Bacillus subtilis aspartase and 49% with Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas fluorescens aspartases. The E. coli TK237/pUCASPB strain, which was obtained by transforming E. coli TK237 (aspartase-null strain) with a vector plasmid (pUCASPB) containing the cloned aspB gene, produced a large amount of the enzyme corresponding to > 10% of the total soluble protein. The over-expressed recombinant enzyme (native molecular mass: 200 kDa) was purified effectively and rapidly using heat treatment and affinity chromatography. In order to probe the catalytic residues of this enzyme, two conserved amino-acid residues, Lys183 and His134, were individually mutated to alanine. Although the tertiary structure of each mutant was estimated to be the same as that of wild-type aspartase in CD and fluorescence measurements, the Lys183Ala mutant lost its activity completely, whereas His134Ala retained full activity. This finding suggests that Lys183 may be involved in the catalytic activity of this thermostable Bacillus YM55-1 aspartase.     

Increased production of aspartase in Escherichia coli K-12 by use of stabilized aspA recombinant plasmid

Recombinant plasmid pYT471, which consists of the aspartase gene (aspA) and the multicopy vector pBR322, was lost from cells of Escherichia coli K-12 at high frequencies in medium in which aspartase was abundantly formed due to release from catabolite repression. This plasmid loss was not completely prevented by the selective pressure of antibiotic addition. To increase the stability of the aspA plasmid, pNK101 (pBR322::aspA-par) was constructed by using the partition locus (par) derived from the low-copy vector pSC101. In E. coli K-12 cells, pNK101 was lost at a frequency as low as 0.4% per cell generation in nonselective medium, whereas pYT471 was lost at a frequency as high as 8.5%. Cells harboring this stable plasmid produced ca. 30-fold more aspartase than did cells harboring the unstable plasmid after 30 cell generations. Thus, we could increase aspartase production by stabilizing the aspA recombinant plasmid.
