The degradation of cell walls isolated from stems and leaves of perennial ryegrass by the anaerobic fungus Neocallimastix sp. strain CS3b was studied in a defined medium. The combined cellulose and hemicellulose fraction represented 53.1 (wt/wt) and 63.3% (wt/wt) of the dry weight of control grass leaf and stem cell walls, respectively. In both leaf and stem cell walls, glucose was the major neutral monosaccharide, followed by xylose, arabinose, and galactose. After 2 days of fermentation with Neocallimastix sp. strain CS3b, treated cell walls contained smaller amounts of neutral sugars compared with those of undigested cell walls. These results were more evident for glucose, xylose, and arabinose than for galactose. Furthermore, the sugar content of leaf cell walls decreased before a decline in the sugar content of stem cell walls was observed. Data from formate and hydrogen production indicated that the growth of Neocallimastix sp. strain CS3b was completed in 4 days in the culture system used. During this period, the fungus liberated about 95% of the fermentable sugars in untreated material. On a percentage basis, no significant differences were found in final extent of degradation of glucose, xylose, and arabinose. Galactose, however, was degraded to a lesser extent. 相似文献

Purified cell walls, originating from penicillin-treated (3 g/ml, 1 h) and-untreated Brevibacterium divaricatum cells grown on complex (CM) and glucose minimal medium with (MM) or without (Ca-free MM) calcium carbonate, were isolated by two procedures. Electron micrographs and chemical analysis revealed no differences between identically isolated walls with respect to the presence or absence of either penicillin or calcium carbonate in the glucose growth medium. On the contrary, the appearance and peptidoglycan content of the walls was greatly dependent on the procedure used for their isolation and the walls isolated from the cells grown on complex medium contained more materials other than peptidoglycan. It was shown that the presence of calcium carbonate in the glucose minimal medium was essential for accumulation of large amounts of peptidoglycan chains into the medium. Penicillin-induced interruption of cell wall synthesis was prerequisite for manifestation of the calcium carbonate stimulating effect.Abbreviations CM

The phosphorus content of phosphate-limited Saccharomyces cerevisiae was only 71% of that of non-limited yeast. Walls prepared from phosphate-limited cells contained slightly less phosphorus than control walls. No evidence was obtained for the presence in these walls of uronic acid or succinyl residues. The carbohydrate content of walls of phosphate-limited yeast was less than that of non-limited walls, and this was reflected in a decreased glucan content. There was only a slight decrease in glucosamine content while the protein content increased. The major change in the lipid composition of phosphate-limited yeast was a decrease in both sterol esters and triacylglycerols. There was a decrease in total lipid content, but increased production of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine. The phosphatidylserine content was decreased. These results suggest that there are fewer intracellular low-density vesicles in phosphate-limited yeast. 相似文献

Cell walls were isolated from cells of Bacillus subtilis strain Marburg during synchronous outgrowth of spores, during the two synchronous cell divisions which followed, and at various times during exponential and early stationary growth. The amounts of teichoic acid and peptidoglycan components were determined in each cell wall preparation. The peptidoglycan is composed of hexosamine, alanine, diaminopimelic acid, and glutamic acid. The ratio of these was relatively constant in the cell walls at each stage of growth. The teichoic acid is composed of glycerol, phosphate, glucose, and ester-linked alanine. With the exception of glucose and ester-linked alanine, the ratios of these components were relatively constant throughout the growth cycle. There was a slight increase in the glucose content of the teichoic acid as the cells aged. There was no correlation between the amount of ester-linked alanine and the stage of growth. The ratio of teichoic acid (based upon phosphate content) to peptidoglycan (based upon diaminopimelic acid content) remained at nearly a constant level throughout the growth cycle. The conclusion is presented that these two cell wall polymers are coordinately synthesized during spore outgrowth and throughout the vegetative growth cycle. 相似文献

A study was made to determine whether factors other than the availability of phosphorus were involved in the regulation of synthesis of teichoic and teichuronic acids in Bacillus subtilis subsp. niger WM. First, the nature of the carbon source was varied while the dilution rate was maintained at about 0.3 h-1. Irrespective of whether the carbon source was glucose, glycerol, galactose, or malate, teichoic acid was the main anionic wall polymer whenever phosphorus was present in excess of the growth requirement, and teichuronic acid predominated in the walls of phosphate-limited cells. The effect of growth rate was studied by varying the dilution rate. However, only under phosphate limitation did the wall composition change with the growth rate: walls prepared from cells grown at dilution rates above 0.5 h-1 contained teichoic as well as teichuronic acid, despite the culture still being phosphate limited. The wall content of the cells did not vary with the nature of the growth limitation, but a correlation was observed between the growth rate and wall content. No indications were obtained that the composition of the peptidoglycan of B. subtilis subsp. niger WM was phenotypically variable. 相似文献

Cell walls of Histoplasma capsulatum and Blastomyces dermatitidis, obtained by mechanical breakage of yeast- and mycelial-phase cultures, were lipid-extracted and then fractionated with ethylenediamine. Unextracted cell walls, lipid-extracted cell walls, and the three fractions resulting from ethylenediamine treatment were examined for monosaccharide and chitin content. The yeast-phase cell walls of five strains of H. capsulatum fell into two categories, designated chemotypes I and II, one of which, chemotype II, was similar to yeast-phase cell walls derived from three strains of B. dermatitidis. H. capsulatum chemotype I cell walls were characterized by lower content of material soluble in ethylenediamine, higher chitin content, and lower monosaccharide content than H. capsulatum chemotype II or B. dermatitidis cell walls. Approximately 80% of the monosaccharides of chemotype I cell walls was combined in forms susceptible to attack by mild acid hydrolysis, compared with about 50% of the monosaccharides of chemotype II and B. dermatitidis. H. capsulatum and B. dermatitidis yeast-phase cell walls could be distinguished, however, by their susceptibility to attack by a crude enzyme system derived from a Streptomyces sp. incubated with chitin as the only carbon source. Both glucose and acetylglucosamine were released from H. capsulatum cell walls, regardless of chemotype, during enzymatic hydrolysis, whereas only acetylglucosamine was released from B. dermatitidis yeast-phase cell walls. Mycelial-phase cell walls of H. capsulatum and B. dermatitidis were characterized by lower content of material soluble in ethylenediamine, higher proportions of mannose, and lower chitin content than their respective yeast phases. Glucose and acetylglucosamine were both released from all mycelial-phase cell walls, whether H. capsulatum or B. dermatitidis, by the crude enzyme system. 相似文献

Cell wall changes in white spruce (Picea glauca) needles subjected to repeated drought stress 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

White spruce [ Picea glauca (Moench) Voss] seedlings were preconditioned by subjecting them to 3 cycles of a mild drought stress. After 1 week of stress relief their water status, soluble carbohydrate content and cell wall composition in newly formed needles were examined and compared with those in control seedlings. Both preconditioned and control seedlings were subsequently subjected to a severe drought stress and again analyzed. Preconditioning treatment both before and during subsequent stress exposure lowered osmotic potentials at full hydration, and after the loss of turgor, decreased lignin content and increased hemicellulose content of the cell walls. Severe drought had similar but more drastic effects on seedling water relations, sugar accumulation and cell wall hemicellulose content; it also decreased cell wall pectin levels. The decrease in pectin levels was accompanied by a loss of galactose and glucose from pectic substances. Little change in cellulose content was observed as a result of preconditioning and severe drought. 相似文献

The carbohydrate composition of the cell walls of Paecilomyces persicinus P-10 M1 was monitored daily for 6 days to detect any changes during growth and cephalosporin C production. Walls were isolated after mechanical breakage, sonication, and exposure to detergent. Major quantitative changes in cell wall carbohydrate composition accompanied a decrease in both cell weight and antibiotic production. Glucosamine content remained relatively constant in the 24- to 96-h cell walls and increased markedly in the 120- and 144-h preparations. The non-nitrogenous carbohydrate cell wall component, however, decreased significantly in the 48- and 120-h cell walls. Gas-liquid chromatographic analysis of the non-nitrogenous carbohydrate cell well fraction revealed the presence of glucose, the major component, mannose, galactose, and minute quantities of arabinose. Except for glucose, which was found to decrease moderately in the 120- and 144-h cell walls, the neutral sugars did not vary significantly with time. 相似文献

Isolated cell walls of mature Chlorella fusca consisted of about 80% carbohydrate, 7% protein, and 13% unidentified material. Mannose and glucose were present in a ratio of about 2.7:1 and accounted for most of the carbohydrate. Minor components were glucuronic acid, rhamnose, and traces of other sugars; galactose was absent. After treatment with 2 M trifluoroacetic acid or with 80% acetic acid/HNO3 (10/1, v/v), a residue with a mannose/glucose ratio of 0.3:1 was obtained, probably representing a structural polysaccharide. An X-ray diffraction diagram of the walls showed one diffuse reflection at 0.44 nm and no reflections characteristic of cellulose. Walls from young cells contained about 51% carbohydrate, 12% protein, and 37% unidentified material. Mannose and glucose were also the main sugars; their absolute amounts per wall increased 6–7 fold during cell growth. Walls isolated with omission of a dodecylsulphate/mercaptoethanol/urea extraction step had a higher protein content and, with young walls, a significantly higher glucose and fucose content. These data and other published cell wall analyses show a wide variability in cell wall composition of the members of the genus Chlorella.Abbreviations GLC

During ripening, the degree of polymerization, the degree of esterification, the neutral sugar content and the neutral sugar composition of extractable apple pectic substances did not change. Some xylose and glucose containing polysaccharides can be extracted from the ripe cell walls suggesting that changes in the hemicelluloses take place. In senescent apples, significant changes in the structure of apple pectic substances could be observed. The degree of polymerization of both the galacturonan chains and the arabinogalactan side chains decreased. The amount of water-extractable pectin molecules carrying 1,3/1,6-linked galactans increased. The degree of esterification and the distribution of the methoxyl groups in the apple pectic substances did not change very much. 相似文献

Cellular aggregation, which occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, is controlled by the hydrophobicity as well as the electrokinetic potential of the cell surface and substratum. It is known that the Mycobacterium genus form aggregates, but the influence of sugar on the cellular aggregation has not been reported for this genus. The mutant strain Mycobacterium sp. MB-3683 that transforms sterol to androstenedione (AD), a steroidal precursor used by the pharmaceutical industries, was employed in this study. This strain was cultivated in a synthetic medium on three sugars (glycerol, glucose and fructose) at different concentrations, and at 144 h microbial growth, cellular aggregation, hydrophobicity, lipid content, fatty acid composition, and width of cellular walls were measured. It was observed that at different sugar concentrations, similar growth and pH were obtained. However, in fructose, the aggregation level was significantly high, followed by glycerol and glucose (fructose < glycerol < glucose). These results were confirmed using electron microscopy and the aggregate area quantified by image analysis. Hydrophobicity was the highest in fructose and the lowest in glucose. The total lipids, in contrast to cellular hydrophobicity, were higher in glucose than glycerol. Although, the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of principal fatty acids isolated was similar regardless of sugar used. In glycerol and fructose, the paraffins were observed, which are responsible for the high cellular hydrophobicity detected above. The width of cell wall of the organisms grown on glucose and fructose was similar, but in glycerol the walls were very thin. There is a correspondence between cell wall width and lipid content. 相似文献

Effect of Phosphate Limitation on the Morphology and Wall Composition of Bacillus licheniformis and Its Phosphoglucomutase-Deficient Mutants 总被引:27,自引:23,他引:4

Two very poorly lytic mutants of Bacillus licheniformis 6346 that had no teichuronic acid or glucose in their walls were phosphoglucomutase deficient. The walls of the mutants were less autolytic, and the lesion in the phosphoglucomutase gene and the formation of lytic amidase seemed to be interrelated. When phosphoglucomutase was regained or the effects of the deficiency were circumvented by the presence of galactose in the medium, the lytic enzyme was partially regained. When subjected to growth limitation by the supply of inorganic phosphate, the mutants ceased to make teichoic acid, and their walls contained a greatly increased proportion of mucopeptide. Under these conditions they formed irregular spheres which changed back to rods when inorganic phosphate was supplied. Both wall and protein synthesis were necessary for the changes in morphology. An intermediate crescent-shaped cell was formed in the change from sphere to a rod. The possible relationship of this morphological change to the distribution of biosynthetic sites is discussed. 相似文献

The location of N-acetylgalactosamine in the walls of Bacillus subtilis 168 总被引:9,自引:3,他引:6

The N-acetylgalactosamine in the walls of Bacillus subtilis 168 occurs in two polymers. One of these contains N-acetylgalactosamine, glucose and phosphorus and is attached to the peptidoglycan through an alkali-labile bond; preliminary studies indicate that a repeating unit of this polymer is glucosyl-N-acetylgalactosamine 1-phosphate. N-Acetylgalactosamine is also associated with the peptidoglycan in a component that is not converted into the free sugar or other soluble compounds on treatment of the walls with alkali. The two polymers containing N-acetylgalactosamine are released on autolysis of the walls and can be separated by ion-exchange chromatography. As glucose 6-phosphate is produced by gentle hydrolysis of the wall with acid a third phosphate polymer, poly(glucose 1-phosphate), may occur in this wall. However, as no polymer with this structure could be separated from that containing galactosamine, its existence has not been established unequivocally. The methods described permit the study of variations in N-acetylgalactosamine content with respect to growth conditions. 相似文献

Purified cell walls, prepared from cotton fibres (Gossypium arboreum L.) at different growth stages, were subjected to successive extractions to give pectic, hemicellulosic, and -cellulosic fractions. The protein content and sugars obtained after hydrolysis of the total cell walls and of the various fractions were quantitatively estimated. The amount of protein in the fibre cell walls from one ovule reached a maximum value at the end of the elongation growth, decreased, and then reached a second maximum at the end of the secondary wall deposition. The absolute amounts of fucose, galactose, mannose, rhamnose, arabinose, uronic acid, and non-cellulosic glucose residues all reached a maximum at the end of the primary wall formation or at the beginning of the secondary wall formation. Only the absolute amounts of xylose and of the cellulosic glucose residues increased until the end of the fibre development. Most conspicuous was the decrease in the absolute amounts of non-cellulosic glucose and of arabinose residues during the secondary wall formation, possibly indicating a turnover of at least some of the hemicellulosic wall material.Abbreviations DPA

Cell walls were prepared from the yeastlike and mycelial phases (YP and MP) of Histoplasma capsulatum and from Saccharomyces cerevisiae by mechanical disruption and washing. Lipids were extracted with methanol-ether, chloroform, and acidified methanol:ether; a final extraction was made with ethylenediamine. The lipid contents of H. capsulatum YP and MP walls were about the same. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were made of the products obtained from treatment of the cell walls, or fractions from them, with weak acid or with enzymatic preparations containing glucanase and chitinase activities. YP walls contained much larger quantities of chitin and smaller quantities of mannose and amino acids than the MP walls. H. capsulatum MP was shown to resemble S. cerevisiae by low chitin content and by the presence of a mannose polymer, soluble in ethylenediamine and water. H. capsulatum MP chitin appeared to be intimately associated with glucose in the wall, since enzymatic hydrolysis of the residue after mild acid hydrolysis of cell walls or fractions from them resulted in the release of glucose and acetylglucosamine; only acetylglucosamine was released from YP walls with such treatment. By electron microscopic observations, the unextracted MP cell walls were much thinner than the YP, and neither wall appeared laminated. 相似文献

The osmotic phenotype of Neurospora crassa is characterized by inhibition of growth at high osmolalities of growth medium. Mutations at six osmotic loci of linkage group I were examined to assess the biochemical and physiological effects of these mutants. Isolated cell walls from 23 osmotic strains were compared with the wild type with regard to quantitative levels of the following components: percentage of total dry weight, total glucose, alkali-soluble glucose, nonglucose carbohydrates, amino acids, glucosamine, galactosamine, and a compound tentatively identified as quinovosamine. The last component has not previously been observed in N. crassa cell walls. Although the cell wall dry weight content of osmotic mutants was not altered, walls isolated from all of the osmotic strains had less alkali-insoluble glucose than those from the wild type. In addition, all of the loci except cut exhibited other consistent differences from the wild type. The os-1, os-3, and os-5 mutants had low levels of alkali-soluble glucose. The os-3 and os-5 mutants had high levels of nonglucose carbohydrates, and flm-2 had a low level of nonglucose carbohydrates. The os-4 mutants had low levels of galactosamine and amino acids and high levels alkali-soluble glucose. An os-1 mutant, B135, produced less of the whole alkali-soluble fraction of the cell wall. 相似文献

The composition of the cell wall of the cotton fiber (Gossypium hirsutum L. Acala SJ-1) has been studied from the early stages of elongation (5 days postanthesis) through the period of secondary wall formation, using cell walls derived both from fibers developing on the plant and from fibers obtained from excised, cultured ovules. The cell wall of the elongating cotton fiber was shown to be a dynamic structure. Expressed as a weight per cent of the total cell wall, cellulose, neutral sugars (rhamnose, fucose, arabinose, mannose, galactose, and noncellulosic glucose), uronic acids, and total protein undergo marked changes in content during the elongation period. As a way of analyzing absolute changes in the walls with time, data have also been expressed as grams component per millimeter of fiber length. Expressed in this way for plant-grown fibers, the data show that the thickness of the cell wall is relatively constant until about 12 days postanthesis; after this time it markedly increases until secondary wall cellulose deposition is completed. Between 12 and 16 days postanthesis increases in all components contribute to total wall increase per millimeter fiber length. The deposition of secondary wall cellulose begins at about 16 days postanthesis (at least 5 days prior to the cessation of elongation) and continues until about 32 days postanthesis. At the time of the onset of secondary wall cellulose deposition, a sharp decline in protein and uronic acid content occurs. The content of some of the individual neutral sugars changes during development, the most prominent change being a large increase in noncellulosic glucose which occurs just prior to the onset of secondary wall cellulose deposition. Methylation analyses indicate that this glucose, at least in part, is 3-linked. In contrast to the neutral sugars, no significant changes in cell wall amino acid composition are observed during fiber development. 相似文献

Summary
Streptococcus bovis 2B altered its morphology and metabolism in response to changes in the rate of glucose addition. Specific pigment (measured by a simple spectrophotometric method) and lactic acid production increased with dilution rate (D) in a glucose-limited chemically defined medium. Lactic acid production increased immediately after a D stepup or a glucose pulse; increase of pigment production was slower and occurred with a lag of one generation. No increase in specific pigment production was seen after a starch pulse. Electron micrographs of thin sections showed that slow growing cells had thick cell walls. Faster growing cells had thinner cell walls but more bound pigment, suggesting a tradeoff between cell wall thickening and pigment production. Ammonia-limited cells continued to use all the glucose available and lactate and pigment production increased only slightly with D. Thin sections again showed thick cell walls for slow growing cells. Division irregularities characteristic of unbalanced growth were seen, which may explain the early washout of the ammonia-limited culture. Cystine in the medium was not used as a nitrogen source. 相似文献

Relationship of Endo-[beta]-D-Mannanase Activity and Cell Wall Hydrolysis in Tomato Endosperm to Germination Rates

The endosperm tissue enclosing the radicle tip (endosperm cap) governs radicle emergence in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) seeds. Weakening of the endosperm cap has been attributed to hydrolysis of its mannan-rich cell walls by endo-[beta]-D-mannanase. To test this hypothesis, we measured mannanase activity in tomato endosperm caps from seeds allowed to imbibe under conditions of varying germination rates. Over a range of suboptimal temperatures, mannanase activity prior to radicle emergence increased in accordance with accumulated thermal time. Reduced water potential delayed or prevented radicle emergence but enhanced mannanase activity in the endosperm caps. Abscisic acid did not prevent the initial increase in mannanase activity, although radicle emergence was markedly delayed. Sugar composition and percent mannose (Man) content of endosperm cap cell walls did not change prior to radicle emergence under any condition. Man, glucose, and other sugars were released into the incubation solution by endosperm caps isolated from intact seeds during imbibition. Pregerminative release of Man was suppressed and the release of glucose was enhanced when seeds were incubated in osmoticum or abscisic acid; the opposite occurred in the presence of gibberellin. Thus, whereas sugar release patterns were sensitive to environmental and hormonal factors affecting germination, neither assayable endo-[beta]-D-mannanase activity nor changes in cell wall sugar composition of endosperm caps correlated well with tomato seed germination rates under all conditions. 相似文献

Preliminary data on the polysaccharide composition of mycelium and cell walls of the submergedly grown fungus Penicillium roqueforti were obtained. Mild acid hydrolysis of mycelium and cell walls led to formation of glucose, mannose and galactose, whereas acid treatment under drastic conditions afforded glucosamine as the hydrolysis product of chitin, which content in the cell walls was estimated as 19%. Sequential treatment of the mycelium with hot water and 1 M NaOH at room temperature gave rise to several polysaccharide fractions, which were characterized by their monosaccharide composition. The main fraction obtained by the action of alkali, according to NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and chemical methods of structural analysis data, is a linear alpha-D-glucopyranan containing blocks of (1 --> 3)-linked glucose residues interconnected by (1 --> 4)-linkages. Water-soluble polysaccharides contained linear blocks of (1 --> 5)-linked beta-galactofuranose residues, probably connected with a mannan core. The data obtained may be important for chemotaxonomy of the genus Penicillium. 相似文献
