Summary Low molecular weight nitrogenous impurity compounds as well as raffinose are negative quality factors that interfere with
efficient processing of sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) for sucrose. In order to identify nutrient media for cell selection of biochemical mutants or transgenics that might
have reduced levels of these processing impurities, the ability of 10 endogenous compounds to serve as sole nitrogen or carbon
source for suspension plating and subculture callus growth was evaluated. The most productive concentrations of nitrate, ammonium,
l-glutamine, l-glutamate, urea, and l-proline as sole nitrogen sources supported plating callus growth at 106, 159, 233, 167, 80, and 52%, respectively, as well
as the historical 60 mM mix of nitrate and ammonium in Murashige-Skoog medium. Glycine betaine and choline did not support growth. d(+) Raffinose and d(+) galactose supported plating callus growth only 67 and 25%, respectively, as well as sucrose as sole carbohydrate source.
No callus growth occurred on glutamine, glutamate, or glycine betaine as the sole carbon or carbon plus nitrogen source. Platings
on either nitrate or ammonium as sole nitrogen source did not differ in sensitivity to the nitrate uptake inhibitor phenylglyoxal,
suggesting that phenylglyoxal lacks the specificity for use in selection for mutants of nitrate uptake. The ability of raffinose
to be used as the carbon source, and glutamine or glutamate as the nitrogen source, may preclude their use for selection of
genetic variants accumulating less of these processing impurities. However, mutants or transgenics able to utilize either
glutamine, glutamate, or glycine betaine might be selectable on media containing any one of these as carbon, nitrogen, or
carbon plus nitrogen source, respectively, that is incapable of supporting wild-type cell growth. 相似文献

Twelve strains of Pseudomonas fluorescens and P. putida were grown in a synthetic medium that contained l-lysine as the only source of carbon and nitrogen, and screened for l-lysine-2-monooxygenase production. Best production was by P. putida BKM B-1458 at 30 IU/g wet wt biomass when grown in a shake-flask but 25 IU/g in a 250-l fermenter. 相似文献

Nostoc ANTH metabolizes ethylenediamine (EDA) as sole nitrogen source but not as a carbon source. EDA is assimilated by the glutamine synthetase-glutamate synthase pathway. EDA represses heterocyst formation and nitrogenase activity but this is reversed by l-methionine-dl-sulphoximine.The authors are with the Department of Microbiology, Barkatullah University, Bhopal 462 026, India 相似文献

Two classes of ornithine-nonutilizing (oru) mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO were investigated. Strains carrying the oru-310 mutation were entirely unable to grow on l-ornithine as the only carbon and nitrogen source and were affected in the assimilation of a variety of nitrogen sources (e.g., amino acids, nitrate). The oru-310 mutation caused changes in the regulation of the catabolic NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase; this enzyme was no longer inducible by glutamate but instead could be induced by ammonia. The oru-310 locus was cotransducible with car-9 and tolA in the 10 min region of the chromosome. An oru-314 mutant was severely handicapped in ornithine medium but could grow when a good carbon source was added; the mutant also showed pleiotropic growth effects related to nitrogen metabolism. The oru-314 mutation affected the regulation of the anabolic NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase, which was no longer repressed by glutamate but showed normal derepression in the presence of ammonia. The oru-314 locus was mapped by transduction near met-9011 at 55 min. Both oru mutants could grow on l-glutamate, l-proline, or l-ornithine amended with 2-oxoglutarate, albeit slowly. We speculate that insufficient 2-oxoglutarate concentrations might account, at least in part, for the Oru- phenotype of the mutants. 相似文献

The nitrogen requirements of 96Gluconobacter, 55Acetobacter and 7Frateuria strains were examined. Only someFrateuria strains were able to grow on 0.5% yeast extract broth or 0.5% peptone broth. In the presence ofd-glucose ord-mannitol as a carbon source, ammonium was used as the sole source of nitrogen by all three genera. With ethanol, only a fewAcetobacter strains grew on ammonium as a sole nitrogen source. Singlel-amino acids cannot serve as a sole source of carbon and nitrogen for growth ofGluconobacter, Acetobacter orFrateuria. The singlel-amino acids which were used by most strains as a sole nitrogen source for growth are: asparagine, aspartic acid, glutamine,
glutamic acid, proline and alanine. SomeAcetobacter andGluconobacter strains deaminated alanine, asparagine, glutamic acid, threonine, serine and proline. NoFrateuria strain was able to develop on cysteine, glycine, threonine or tryptophan as a sole source of nitrogen for growth. An inhibitory
effect of valine may explain the absence of growth on this amino acid. No amino acid is “essential” forGluconobacter, Acetobacter orFrateuria. 相似文献

Mycelial growth of an isolate ofT. bakamatsutake was tested in media with C/N ratio ranging from 0 to 50 and with 32 carbon and 12 nitrogen sources. The isolate grew best
at the C/N ratio of 30. It utilized the monosaccharidesd-glucose,d-mannose, andd-fructose, the disaccharide trehalose, and polysaccharide pectin among the carbon sources; and yeast extract,l-glutamic acid, and ammonium compounds among the nitrogen sources. The growth of ten isolates and secretion of gluconic and
oxalic acids were compared ind-glucose, trehalose, and pectin media. The utilization ofd-glucose, trehalose, and pectin differed among the ten isolates, but all the isolates secreted gluconic acid in thed-glucose media and oxalic acid in the pectin media. 相似文献

As found by Starr (1946),l-glutamic acid is necessary for the growth ofXanthomonas phaseoli var.fuscans. According to our results, the growth is stimulated byl-asparagine in the presence ofl-glutamic acid;l-asparagine itself, however, does not serve as a source of carbon and nitrogen.Xanthomonas phaseoli var.fuscans grew well in a medium containing tryptone. Some peptides of the acidic fraction isolated from tryptone affected the growth
as much as tryptone itself. Vitamins and plant growth substances did not affect the growth of the bacteria; proteins appeared
to be a poor carbon and nitrogen source. On substituting glucose in a glutamic acid-containing medium with another saccharide,
the growth of the bacteria was found equal or better in media containing mannose, sucrose, fructose, maltose or starch. The
bacteria grew less satisfactorily in media containing galactose and cellobiose as compared with media containing glucose. 相似文献

Manganese peroxidase as an extracellular enzyme is produced by the white rot fungusPhanerochœte chrysosporium under nutrient nitrogen or carbon limitation. The effect of nitrogen concentration on the activity of manganese peroxidase
was studied using ammonium nitrate andl-asparagine as nitrogen sources. The highest activity of the enzyme was observed in cultures grown in a medium containing
75 mg/L ammonium nitrate and 0.15 g/Ll-asparagine. Manganese peroxidase was not detectable in cultures grown in the presence 0.5 g/L ammonium nitrate and 1 g/Ll-asparagine. 相似文献

Biochemical properties of yeast l-asparaginase 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Only a single l-asparaginase has been found in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The enzyme is synthesized constitutively, and its functioning is not controlled by the products of its activity. The apparent Km for the yeast l-asparaginase reaction is 2.5×10–4
m. Activity is greatest at pH 8.5 and is unaffected by the ionic strength of reaction mixtures. l-Asparagine can serve as the sole nitrogen source for cell metabolism but cannot serve as the sole supply of carbon. Active l-asparaginase is necessary for the use of l-asparagine as a nitrogen donor for cell growth. This requirement suggests a possible way in which l-asparaginase-deficient strains of yeast or other organisms might easily be selected.G.E.J. was supported by U.S. Public Health Service Predoctoral Fellowship No. 5 F01 GM36,437. 相似文献

Summary The effect of pH, temperature, and carbon and nitrogen interaction on the growth and sporulation ofAspergillus nidulans (Eidam)Wint.,A. rugulosus
Thom &Raper,A. variecolor (Berk. &Br.)Thom &Raper andA. quadrilineatus was studied. All the moulds could grow on a wide range of pH (2.0 to 12.0) but the growth was poor on too acid and too alkaline media. Best growth ofA. rugulosus, A. quadrilineatus, andA. violaceus was seen at pH 6.5 and that ofA. nidulans andA. variecolor at pH 7.0. In general maximum production of perithecia was recorded between pH 6.0 and 8.0.All the above species ofAspergillus under study could grow between a temperature range of 10° C–48° C, but the growth was poor at 10° C and 48° C. The present moulds showed good growth at 20° C, 25°C, and 30° C. At 40° CA. nidulans andA. rugulosus showed moderate growth while the rest of the Aspergilli attained good growth. Temperatures between 20° C–30° C favoured excellent perithecial production.In general, little improvement in growth was noted on media containing good carbon and nitrogen sources. Malic acid was found to be useless when supplied singly. But, poor growth was recorded when supplied in combination with amino acids, amide, and peptone. This was due to the fact that these N sources also supplied carbon for their metabolism. 相似文献

Summary Of five amidohydrolase activities subject to nitrogen metabolite repression in Aspergillus nidulans, l-asparaginase shows clearest evidence of also being subject to repression by atmospheric oxygen. Such oxygen repressibility is only evident under nitrogen metabolite derepressed conditions. Asparaginase levels are also considerably elevated by areA300, an altered function allele of the positive acting wide domain regulatory gene areA mediating nitrogen metabolite repression and are drastically reduced by loss of function mutations in areA. A. nidulans has two l-asparaginase enzymes and it has been shown by the use of appropriate mutants that these regulatory effects are exerted on the expression of that specified by the ahrA gene but probably not that specified by the apnA gene.

The effect of nitrogen and carbon sources, vitamins, antibiotics and metabolic inhibitors on growth and differentiation ofPaecilomyces viridis was investigated. Sodium nitrate,l-asparagine,l-proline and peptone were found to be suitable nitrogen sources for mycelial growth (M) in a synthetic medium with glucose.Paecilomyces viridis could also grow slowly in a synthetic medium containing benzylpenicillin or bacitracin as the only nitrogen sources and very
slowly even in a medium with polymyxin as the nitrogen source. Ammonium salts, area,l-arginine,d, l-aspartic acid andl,-serine were found to support intensive sporulation. Partially yeast-like growth (Y) was facilitated by NaNO2, (NH4)2SO4, NH4NO3, urea,d, l-alanine,l-arginine,d, l-aspartic acid,l-cysteine,l-glutamic acid andl-serine. Partially yeastlike growth could be observed in a medium with peptone and at an initial pH of 2. The following compounds
appear as suitable carbon sources for mycelial growth:d-glucose,d-galactose,d-mannose, maltose, sucrose, chitin andd-mannitol. No changes in morphology could be detected on any of the 25 used carbon sources in a synthetic medium with NaNO3. Yeast-like growth was induced by the antibiotics azalomycin F, cyanein (brefeldin A), griseofulvin and monorden (radicicol).
After removal of the antibiotics, mycelial growth was restored. Sporulation was stimulated by chloramphenicol, 2-deoxy-d-glucose, furancarboxylic acid and stipitatic acid. Deformation of phialides was observed after treatment with actinomycin
D, amphotericin B, boromycin, citrinin, cycloheximide, cytochalasin D, fungicidin and scopathricin. Microcyclic conidiation
or growth of phialides directly from conidia were induced by cycloheximide, desertomycin, ethidium bromide and 5-fluorouracil. 相似文献

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria were isolated from sediments and water of a saltmarsh lagoon on the west coast of South Africa, and characterized according to factors that regulate nitrogen fixation in the marine environment. The majority of isolates were assigned to the Photobacterium or Vibrio genera on the basis of physiological and biochemical characteristics. One isolate was further assigned to the species Vibrio diazotrophicus. Carbohydrate utilization by each diazotrophic isolate was examined. Abilities of the isolates to utilize a range of mono-, di-, and polysaccharides largely reflected the predicted availability of organic carbon and energy in the lagoon, except that chitin was not utilized. Biochemical tests on the utilization of combined nitrogen showed that one isolate could utilize nitrate, and that this strain was susceptible to full repression of nitrogenase activity by 10mm nitrate. Urease activity was not detected in any of the isolates. In the absence of molybdenum two of the isolates, a Photobacterium spp. and V. diazotrophicus, reduced acetylene to ethylene and ethane, a property frequently associated with the activity of alternative nitrogenases. Addition of 25µM molybdenum inhibited ethane production by V. diazotrophicus, but stimulated ethylene and ethane production by the Photobacterium isolate. Addition of 28µM vanadium did not appear to regulate ethane production by either strain. Assays of nitrogenase activity in sediments from which some isolates were obtained indicated that molybdenum was not limiting nitrogenase activity at naturally-occurring concentrations. Southern hybridizations of the chromosomes of these strains with the anfH and vnfH genes of Azotobacter vinelandii and the nifH gene of Klebsiella pneumoniae indicated the presence of only one nitrogenase in these isolates.Correspondence to: B.J.

) in the absence of MSX, but not in the presence of MSX. Glutamine or a derivative of it appears to be the actual negative effector of nitrate utilization. In presence of nitrate, MSX-treated cells ofA. doliolum evolve more O2 than do untreated cells. Our results suggest a close relation between photoassimilation of carbon and utilization of nitrogen. 相似文献

Bacteroides vulgatus strain 8482 metabolizedd-arabinose by a mechanism involving a 32 (top to bottom) cleavage of the arabinose carbon skeleton. During growth in the presence of 1-14C-d-arabinose, acetate, propionate, and succinate were labeled, but during growth in the presence of 5-labeledd-arabinose, only labeled acetate and succinate were formed. The metabolism ofd-ribose by strain 8482 differed from that ford-arabinose. Strain 8482 converted glycolic acid and glycine to acetate and succinate, but not propionate, by a mechanism involving cleavage of the glycine and glycolic acid carbon skeletons and equilibration of carbons 1 and 2 of glycolic acid and glycine with nonequivalent metabolic pools. The metabolism ofd-arabinose,d-ribose,d-glycine, andd-glycolic acid by strain 8482 was similar, in some respects, to that ofBacteroides fragilis strain 2044, but differed substantially from the metabolism of the same substances byBacteroides ruminicola strain B14. 相似文献

Radio-isotope studies indicated not only that l-tryptophan can serve as carbon source for synthesis of the trypanocide, violacein by Chromobacterium violaceum (BB-78 strain) but also that isatin and indole 3-acetic acid are both important metabolic intermediates. Using 3-indolyl [2-14C] and [1-14C] acetic acid, it was found that the carboxylic carbon was not eliminated and that indole-3-acetic acid was incorporated intact into the pigment structure. N-Ethyl(5-hydroxy-indol-3-yl)-2-indolylethylamide is also an important metabolic intermediate in the violacein biosynthesis. This is the first report of a metabolic scheme for violacein synthesis which includes an intermediate other than l-tryptophan. 相似文献

A bacterium which utilizes benzylpenicillin as carbon, nitrogen and energy source was isolated from a lake sediment. The organism was identified as a strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens with a GC content of 59.71 Mol %. After growth of the organism on a mineral salts medium containing benzylpenicillin, the derivatives benzylpenicilloic acid, benzylpenilloic acid and benzylpenicillenic acid were found in culture media. There was no indication that the phenylacetate side chain of benzylpenicillin is decomposed. In uninoculated culture media benzylpenicillin, benzylpenicilloic acid and benzylpenicillenic acid were demonstrable. The following compounds were found to be absent from inoculated or uninoculated culture fluids: d-penicillamine, l-valine, l-cysteine, benzylpenillic acid and 6-aminopenicillanic acid. The organism possesses penicillinase. Penicillin acylase was not demonstrable. The reaction product of penicillinase, benzylpenicilloic acid, supports only little growth. There is no growth on 6-aminopenicillanic acid with or without NH4Cl. Relatively little growth occurs on 6-aminopenicillanic acid in the presence of phenylacetic acid.The data indicate that the nucleus of the benzylpenicillin molecule is utilized as carbon, nitrogen and energy source. During growth a part of the substrate is destroyed into scarcely usable benzylpenicilloic acid; hereby the antibiotic is detoxified.Abbreviations TLC

The dicarboxylic acid fumarate is an important intermediate in cellular processes and also serves as a precursor for the
commercial production of fine chemicals such as l-malate. Yeast species differ remarkably in their ability to degrade extracellular dicarboxylic acids and to utilise them
as their only source of carbon. In this study we have shown that the yeast Candida utilis effectively degraded extracellular fumarate and l-malate, but glucose or other assimilable carbon sources repressed the transport and degradation of these dicarboxylic acids.
The transport of both dicarboxylic acids was shown to be strongly inducible by either fumarate or l-malate while kinetic studies suggest that the two dicarboxylic acids are transported by the same transporter protein. In
contrast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe effectively degraded extracellular l-malate, but not fumarate, in the presence of glucose or other assimilable carbon sources. The Sch. pombe malate transporter was unable to transport fumarate, although fumarate inhibited the uptake of l-malate.

Assimilation of nitrate and various other inorganic nitrogen compounds by different yeasts was investigated. Nitrate, nitrite, hydroxylamine, hydrazine, ammonium sulphate, urea and L-asparagine were tested as sole sources of nitrogen for the growth of Candida albicans, C. pelliculosa, Debaryomyces hansenii, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, C. tropicalis, and C. utilis. Ammonium sulphate and L-asparagine supported the growth of all the yeasts tested except D. hansenii while hydroxylamine and hydrazine failed to support the growth of any. Nitrate and nitrite were assimilated only by C. utilis. Nitrate utilization by C. utilis was also accompanied by the enzymatic activities of NAD(P)H: nitrate oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.6.2) and NAD(P)H: nitrite oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.6.4), but not reduced methyl viologen-or FAD-nitrate oxidoreductases (EC 1.7.99.4). It is demonstrated here that nitrate and nitrite reductase activities are responsible for the ability of C. utilis to assimilate primary nitrogen. 相似文献
