Biosynthesis of fatty acids and triacylglycerols by 2,6,10,14-tetramethyl pentadecane-grown cells of Nocardia globerula 432

Nocardia globerula strain 432 was able to synthesize triacylglycerols (TAG) during cultivation on 2,6,10,14-tetramethyl pentadecane (pristane) under nitrogen-limiting conditions. Within these cells, 4,8,12-trimethyl tridecanoic acid was the major fatty acid detected. Fatty acids with an odd number of carbon atoms and minor amounts of even-numbered fatty acids were also observed. Experiments carried out with acrylic acid, an inhibitor of beta-oxidation, suggested that odd-numbered fatty acids such as C15:0, C17:0 and 10-methyl C17:0 were synthesized de novo using propionyl-CoA, the beta-oxidation product, as precursor. Although N. globerula 432 incorporated mainly straight chain fatty acids into TAG, the branched fatty acid 4,8,12-trimethyl tridecanoic acid also appeared, to some extent, in the acylglycerols. The importance of TAG biosynthesis by pristane-grown cells of N. globerula strain 432 is discussed.

A study of the enzymatic profile of soil isolates of Nocardia asteroides

In this study, using the API-ZYM system, we have reported the enzyme profile of 42 soil strains and 2 clinical strains of Nocardia asteroides isolated locally. Of the 19 enzymes tested, only 7 were demonstrable in over 90% of the soil isolates. These included alkaline phosphatase, esterase lipase, leucine arylamidase, acid phosphatase, phosphohydrolase, α-glucosidase and β-glucosidase. In addition, β-galactosidase activity was demonstrated in all the strains by the O-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (ONPG) test. The enzymes which were not demonstrable in >95% of the strains included valine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, trypsin, chymotrypsin, α-galactosidase, β-glucoronidase, N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase, α-mannosidase and α-fucosidase. With the exception of valine arylamidase, which was lacking in all but one isolate, the enzyme profiles of the soil isolates were comparable with the clinical isolates of N. asteroides reported in previous studies. The reasons for this difference in the two sets of isolates is not clear. The study reinforces the view that specific differences in the enzymatic profiles of Nocardia species could be used for their rapid identification. However, more extensive studies are needed to establish the reproducibility of this method. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of the enzymatic profile of soil isolates of N. asteroides originating from a single geographic region. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Stereoinversion of optically active 3-pentyn-2-ol by Nocardia species

Nocardia fusca and Nocardia pseudosporangifera produced (R)-3-pentyn-2-ol and (S)-3-pentyn-2-ol in 24 and 72 h reaction, respectively, from (RS)-3-pentyn-2-ol, with greater than 70% molar yields through a stereoinversion reaction involving stereoselective oxidation and reduction with 3-pentyn-2-one as an intermediate.     

Emulsification using environmental compatible emulsifiers and de-emulsification using D.C. field and immobilized Nocardia amarae

As environmental compatible emulsifiers, various polysaccharides were investigated and de-emulsification methods were studied using filtration, direct current (D.C.) field, and also Nocardia amarae. 0.01% (v/v) of alginic acid, arabic gum, chitosan, and curdlan showed more than about 2 h of emulsion stability in the half-life of emulsion layer by a homogenizer and showed about twice synergic effects with other polysaccharides in emulsification activity at the ratio of 9:1 (v/v). De-emulsification by 110V D.C. field took about 1 h for the separation of oils from 1 l of oil-in-water emulsion in case of 0.01% arabic gum. Oil-water separator was designed using non-woven fabrics in filtration system and Nocardia amarae grown in n-hexadecane or kerosene was immobilized in the non-woven fabrics.

Biodegradation of commercial linear alkyl benzenes byNocardia amarae

Laboratory degradation studies of two indigeneously produced linear alkyl benzenes byNocardia amarae MB-11 isolated from soil showed an overall degradation of linear alkyl benzenes isomers to the extent of 57–70%. Degradation of 2-phenyl isomers of linear alkyl benzenes was complete and faster than that of other phenyl position (C3–C7) isomers which were degraded to the extent of 40–72% only. Length of alkyl side chains (C₁₀–C₁₄) had little or no impact on the degradation pattern. Major metabolities detected were 2-, 3-and 4-phenyl butyric acids, phenyl acetic acid and cis, cis-muconic acid. Minor metabolites weretrans-cinnamic acid, 4-phenyl 3-butenoic acid and 3-phenyl pentanoic acid along with two unidentified hydroxy acids. On the basis of the formation pattern of these metabolities, three catabolic pathways of linear alkyl benzenes isomers inNocardia amarae MB-11 were postulated. All the phenyl position (C2–C7) isomers of C₁₀, C₁₂, and C₁₄ linear alkyl benzenes along with 3-phenyl and 5-phenyl isomers of C₁₁ and C₁₃ linear alkyl benzenes were degraded viacis,cis-muconic acid pathway. Other phenyl position isomers of C₁₁ and C₁₃ linear alkyl benzenes with phenyl substitution at even number carbon atoms were principally degraded via phenyl acetic acid pathway whiletrans-cinnamic acid formation provided a minor pathway
