Lipopeptides constitute a structurally diverse group of metabolites produced by various bacterial and fungal genera. In the past decades, research on lipopeptides has been fueled by their surfactant activities. However, natural functions of lipopeptides compounds have received considerably less attention. The aim of this study was to isolate and identify the lipopeptides from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens An6, and further evaluate their biological activities. An6 lipopeptides were detected by PCR using degenerated primers and MALDI‐TOF‐MS. An6 strain was found to produce surfactin, fengycin, and bacillomycin. Following their purification, the in vitro antioxidant activity of An6 lipopeptides was studied through different assays. The scavenging effect on 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl radicals at a dosage of 0.75 mg/mL was 81%. Its reducing power was concentration‐dependant and reached a maximum of 1.07 at 2.5 mg/mL. Moreover, they showed a strong inhibition of β‐carotene bleaching. An6 lipopeptides mixture was also found to display significant antimicrobial activity against several Gram‐positive, Gram‐negative bacteria, and fungal strains. An6 lipopeptides were insensitive to proteolytic enzymes, stable between pH 4.0 and 12.0, and resistant to high temperature. Our results provided enough evidence proving that An6 lipopeptides could be used as functional‐food components. 相似文献

A protease-producing bacterium was isolated and identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa MN7. The strain was found to produce proteases when it was grown in media containing only shrimp waste powder (SWP), indicating that it can obtain its carbon, nitrogen, and salts requirements directly from shrimp waste. The use of 60 g/l SWP resulted in a high protease production. Elastase, the major protease produced by P. aeruginosa MN7, was purified from the culture supernatant to homogeneity using acetone precipitation, Sephadex G-75 gel filtration, and ultrafiltration using a 10-kDa cut-off membrane, with a 5.2-fold increase in specific activity and 38.4% recovery. The molecular weight of the purified elastase was estimated to be 34 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration. The optimum temperature and pH for protease activity were 60 degrees C and 8.0, respectively. The activity of the enzyme was totally lost in the presence of ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid, suggesting that the purified enzyme is a metalloprotease. The purified enzyme was highly stable in the presence of organic solvents, retaining 100% of its initial activity after 60 days of incubation at 30 degrees C in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide and methanol. The lasB gene, encoding the MN7 elastase, was isolated and its DNA sequence was determined. 相似文献

Medium composition and culture conditions for the bleaching stable alkaline protease production by Aspergillus clavatus ES1 were optimized. Two statistical methods were used. Plackett-Burman design was applied to find the key ingredients and conditions for the best yield. Response surface methodology (RSM) including full factorial design was used to determine the optimal concentrations and conditions. Results indicated that Mirabilis jalapa tubers powder (MJTP), culture temperature, and initial medium pH had significant effects on the production. Under the proposed optimized conditions, the protease experimental yield (770.66 U/ml) closely matched the yield predicted by the statistical model (749.94 U/ml) with R (2)=0.98. The optimum operating conditions obtained from the RSM were MJTP concentration of 10 g/l, pH 8.0, and temperature of 30 degrees C, Sardinella heads and viscera flour (SHVF) and other salts were used at low level. The medium optimization contributed an about 14.0-fold higher yield than that of the unoptimized medium (starch 5 g/l, yeast extract 2 g/l, temperature 30 degrees C, and pH 6.0; 56 U/ml). More interestingly, the optimization was carried out with the by-product sources, which may result in cost-effective production of alkaline protease by the strain. 相似文献

Production of lipase by Staphylococcus sp. in media containing fish peptones from sardinelle (Sardinella aurita) prepared in the laboratory was studied. Lipase production is strongly affected by lipids present in fish flours. Fish peptones prepared from dIgresed whole flesh was an excellent substrate for lipase production. A comparison of lipase production in media containing fish peptones or high quality commercial peptones indicated that fish peptones enhanced enzyme formation. 相似文献

The response to salt treatment and K+ provision of two Arabidopsis thaliana accessions grown for 17 days in the presence of 50 mM NaCl was investigated. Leaf and root dry weight deposition was restricted
by salt, more in Col accession than in NOK2 accession. In both accessions, the growth inhibition induced by salinity was associated
with a decrease in total leaf surface area, which resulted from diminished leaf number, but not from restriction of individual
leaf surface area. Comparing the effects of salt on dry matter production and total leaf surface area revealed large difference
between Col and NOK2 for net assimilation rate (the amount of whole plant biomass produced per unit leaf surface area), which
was augmented by salt and K+ in NOK2 but not in Col. This result, which suggested a better capacity of NOK2 to preserve its photosynthetic machinery against
salt stress, was in agreement with the effect of NaCl on photosynthetic pigments. Indeed, salt significantly reduced chlorophyll
and carotenoid content in Col leaves but had no impact on NOK2 leaf pigment content. Since K+ provision had only marginal effects on these responses to salt stress, leaf mineral unbalance was unlikely. Guaiacol peroxidase
activity was augmented by salt treatment in leaves and roots of both accessions. Salinity decreased the catalase activity
in Col leaves and in roots, and increased this activity in NOK2 organs. In conclusion, when aggressed by salt, NOK2 was able
(1) to produce more leaves than Col, and (2) to efficiently protect its photosynthetic apparatus, perhaps by developing more
efficient antioxidative defense through increased catalase and peroxidase activities. Consequently, the overall photosynthetic
activity was higher and more robust to salt aggression in NOK2 than in Col. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of increasing levels of saponins from Quillaja saponaria on fatty acid (FA) composition and cholesterol content in muscle Longissimus dorsi of lambs. A total of 24 Barbarine lambs were assigned to four dietary treatments: control diet (C) consisting of oat hay ad libitum and 400 g of concentrate (80% barley, 17.5% soybean meal and 2.5% vitamin and mineral supplement); C diet plus 30 ppm of Q. saponaria L. (QS30); C diet plus 60 ppm of Quillaja (QS60); C diet plus 90 ppm of Quillaja (QS90). Saponin supplementation reduced the concentration of C14:1 cis-9 (P = 0.001) and of its desaturation index (P = 0.002). None of the FA intermediates of ruminal biohydrogenation (BH) was affected by Quillaja saponin supplementation (P > 0.05). The concentration of C20:4n-6 was higher in the meat of animals receiving 60 ppm of Quillaja than C and QS30 groups. Supplementing 60 ppm of Quillaja reduced the ratio between α-linolenic and linoleic acids compared with the C group (P = 0.023). We did not find any significant effect of Quillaja saponins on muscle cholesterol level. Further investigations are necessary to assess the metabolic fate of saponins in the rumen and to understand whether there is an effect of saponin on Δ9-desaturase enzyme activity, ruminal BH and cholesterol metabolism in ruminants. Supplementing up to 90 ppm of Quillaja saponins did not produce detrimental effects on the overall meat FA profile. 相似文献
