The final ethanol concentration achieved was increased by 17% (to 103 g ethanol/l) when excess assimilable nitrogen was added to the batch very high gravity (VHG) ethanolic fermentations by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The supplementation of the media with 12 g yeast extract l–1, 0.3 g cell walls l–1, 3 g glycine l–1 and 20 g soya flour l–1 led to halving reduction of the fermentation time to 28 h. The ethanol productivity was enhanced by more than 50% (to achieved value 3.3 g l–1 h–1). 相似文献

The expression and activity of cystathionine γ-lyase (CST) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (MPST) were investigated
in the human neoplastic cells lines: astrocytoma U373, neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y, melanoma A375, and melanoma WM35. Gene expression
analysis demonstrated that the investigated neoplastic cells showed the expression of MPST and what is particularly interesting,
the expression of CST. The presence of CST in these cells was confirmed using RT-PCR and western blot analysis. However, in
U373 cells, a very low activity of CST was detected. In all the investigated cell lines, the activity of MPST was higher than
that of CST, which suggests that in these cells, the main pathway of sulfane sulfur formation is the MPST-catalyzed reaction.
RP-HPLC analysis showed a large disparity between the level of cystathionine and GSH in the investigated neoplastic cells.
In SH-SY5Y cells, the low level of GSH and low GSH/GSSG ratio corresponded with the highest CST activity. Further investigations
could aim at verifying whether the stimulation of CST, at the level of protein or gene expression, could change the proliferation
of neoplastic cells. 相似文献

Mitochondrial diseases (MD) are heterogeneous disorders because of impairment of respiratory chain function leading to oxidative stress. We hypothesized that in MD the vascular endothelium may be affected by increased oxidative/nitrative stress causing a reduction of nitric oxide availability. We therefore, investigated the pathobiology of vasculature in MD patients by assaying the presence of 3-nitrotyrosine in muscle biopsies followed by the proteomic identification of proteins which undergo tyrosine nitration. We then measured the flow-mediated vasodilatation as a proof of altered nitric oxide generation/bioactivity. Here, we show that 3-nitrotyrosine staining is specifically located in the small vessels of muscle tissue and that the reaction is stronger and more evident in a significant percentage of vessels from MD patients as compared with controls. Eleven specific proteins which are nitrated under pathological conditions were identified; most of them are involved in energy metabolism and are located mainly in mitochondria. In MD patients the flow-mediated vasodilatation was reduced whereas baseline arterial diameters, blood flow velocity and endothelium-independent vasodilatation were similar to controls. The present results provide evidence that in MD the vessel wall is a target of increased oxidative/nitrative stress. 相似文献

This study was focused on a comparison of growth and production properties of seven red yeast strains of the genus Rhodotorula, Sporobolomyces and Cystofilobasidium cultivated on glycerol substrate. Production of enriched yeast biomas and specific yeast metabolites (carotenoids, ergosterol, lipids) was evaluated on medium with glucose, pure technical glycerol and/or waste glycerol from biofuel production (40 g/L) and mixture of glycerol and glucose (1:3, 1:1, 3:1; C/N ratio 57 in all cultivations). All tested strains were able to utilize glycerol as the only carbon source. Production of biomass on waste glycerol was in most strains higher than in control as well as in medium with pure technical glycerol and reached 15.97–21.76 g/L. Production of carotenoids and ergosterol was better in glucose medium than in medium with glycerol only. Nevertheless, using glycerol medium with addition of glucose, higher yields of total carotenoids, beta-carotene and ergosterol were obtained than in control. The highest yields of total pigments were reached by Sporobolomyces roseus (3.60 mg/g cell dry weight (CDW); glycerol:glucose 1:3), Sporobolomyces salmonicolor (2.85 mg/g CDW; glycerol:glucose 1:3) and Rhodotorula glutinis (2.80 mg/g CDW; glycerol:glucose 3:1) In glucose medium, most tested strains except Cystofilobasidium capitatum (22.6 %) produced neutral lipids in the range of 11–15 %. Production of triacylglycerols in all strains was in 10–30 % better in glycerol medium, in which Rhodotorula aurantiaca and Sporobolomyces shibatanus also reached intracellular triacylglycerol concentrations up to 20 % of biomass. This study has shown that oleaginous red yeasts could have great potential for converting crude glycerol to valuable lipids and carotenoids in respect of efficient bioresources utilization. 相似文献

Renibacterium salmoninarum is the causative agent of bacterial kidney disease, a major pathogen of salmonid fish species worldwide. Very low levels of intra-species genetic diversity have hampered efforts to understand the transmission dynamics and recent evolutionary history of this Gram-positive bacterium. We exploited recent advances in the next-generation sequencing technology to generate genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data from 68 diverse R. salmoninarum isolates representing broad geographical and temporal ranges and different host species. Phylogenetic analysis robustly delineated two lineages (lineage 1 and lineage 2); futhermore, dating analysis estimated that the time to the most recent ancestor of all the isolates is 1239 years ago (95% credible interval (CI) 444–2720 years ago). Our data reveal the intercontinental spread of lineage 1 over the last century, concurrent with anthropogenic movement of live fish, feed and ova for aquaculture purposes and stocking of recreational fisheries, whilst lineage 2 appears to have been endemic in wild Eastern Atlantic salmonid stocks before commercial activity. The high resolution of the SNP-based analyses allowed us to separate closely related isolates linked to neighboring fish farms, indicating that they formed part of single outbreaks. We were able to demonstrate that the main lineage 1 subgroup of R. salmoninarum isolated from Norway and the UK likely represent an introduction to these areas ∼40 years ago. This study demonstrates the promise of this technology for analysis of micro and medium scale evolutionary relationships in veterinary and environmental microorganisms, as well as human pathogens. 相似文献

Recent studies implied that low-density lipoprotein (LDL) modified predominantly by oxidation or glycation, significantly
contributes to the formation of atherosclerotic lesions. In contrast to oxidized LDL (ox-LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
is able to prevent accumulation of ox-LDL in arterial walls. This antiatherogenic property of HDL is attributed in part to
several enzymes associated with the lipoprotein, including HDL-associated paraoxonase 1 (PON1). In this study we analyzed
PON1 arylesterase/paraoxonase activities in relation to serum lipid profile, gender and age in thirty clinically healthy Slovak
volunteers. Our results showed that PON1 arylesterase and paraoxonase activities were lower in citrated plasma than in serum
by 16.6% and 27.3%, respectively. Among serum lipoproteins, only HDL-cholesterol level showed significant positive correlation
with PON1 arylesterase activity (p = 0.042). Likewise, we found a significant relationship between atherogenic index (AI = total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol)
and PON1 arylesterase activity (p = 0.023). No significant correlation could be demonstrated between PON1 paraoxonase activity and serum lipid profile, age
or gender. Furthermore, it was found that PON1 paraoxonase/arylesterase activities were higher in women compared with both
investigated activities in men, but these differences were not statistically significant. These results confirmed a positive
correlation between HDL-cholesterol and PON1 arylesterase activity. Moreover, it was found out that PON1 paraoxonase activity
is not influenced either by gender or by age. PON1 arylesterase activity was however affected by gender to a limited extent. 相似文献

The rs9939609 SNP located in the first intron of the fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO) has been found to be associated with common obesity mainly in populations of European descent. The Roma/Gypsy population as an ethnic minority of Asian Indian origin is well known for its adverse health status with a high prevalence of obesity. The main aim of this study was to examine the contribution of the rs9939609 FTO polymorphism to the high prevalence of obesity in the Roma/Gypsy population. Following a number of anthropometric measurements, the FTO rs9939609 polymorphism was genotyped in 312 Roma/Gypsy individuals. We observed significant differences in body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio between different genotypes (P = 0.003, P = 0.012, and P = 0.03, respectively). The waist circumference in the subjects with AA genotype was about 7.1 cm larger than in those with TT genotypes (P = 0.005). However, the strongest association of minor allele A of the rs9939609 FTO polymorphism was found with BMI (odds ratio, 1.55; 95% confidence interval, 1.129-2.128; P = 0.007), even after adjusting for age, sex, and smoking status. This study provides the first report of allele and genotype frequencies for the rs9939609 polymorphism and also the first evidence of the association of the FTO variant with obesity in the Roma/Gypsy population. 相似文献
