Characterization and enhanced production of enterocin HJ35 byEnterococcus faecium HJ35 isolated from human skin

A strain named as HJ35 was isolated from the skin of sixty-five men and fourteen women for acne therapy, in order to find an effective antimicrobial agent againstPropionibacterium acnes. Isolate HJ35 was identified asEnterococcus faecium based on 16 rDNA sequence and produced enterocin HJ35 having antimicrobial activities against most lactic acid bacteria,Enterococcus spp.,Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, Clostridium perfringens, some bacilli,Micrococcus flavus, Listeria monocytogenes, L. ivanovii, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens andPropionibacterium acnes, in the modified well diffusion method. Especially, enterocin HJ35 showed a bactericidal activity againstPropionibacterium acnes P1. The antimicrobial activity of enterocin HJ35 was disappeared completely with the use of protease XIV. But enterocin HJ35 activity is very stable at high temperature (up to 100°C for 30 min), in wide range of pH 3.0∼9.0), and by treatment with organic solvents. The apparent molecular mass of enterocin HJ35 was estimated to be approximately 4∼4.5 kDa on detection of its bactericidal activity after SDS-PAGE. In batch fermentation ofE. faecium HJ35, enterocin HJ35 was produced at the midlog growth phase, and its maximum production was obtained up to 2,300 AU/mL at the late stationary phase. By employing fed-batch fermentation, the enhanced production of enterocin HJ35 was achieved up to 12,800 AU/mL by feeding with 10 g/L glucose or 6 g/L lactate.     

Production of carotenoids by β-ionone-resistant mutant of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous</Emphasis> using various carbon sources

Batch culture kinetics of the red yeast, Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous SKKU 0107, revealed reduction in biomass with glucose and lower intracellular carotenoid content with fructose. Figures were different when compared to sucrose, which is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose. In contrast, specific growth rate constant stayed between 0.094~0.098 h⁻¹, irrespective of the carbon sources employed. Although the uptake rate of glucose was found to be 2.9-fold faster than that of fructose, sucrose was found to be a more suitable carbon source for the production of carotenoids by the studied strain. When sugar cane molasses was used, both the specific growth rate constant and the intracellular carotenoid content decreased by 27 and 17%, respectively. Compared with the batch culture using 28 g/L sugar cane molasses, fed-batch culture with the same strain resulted in a 1.45-fold higher cell yield together with a similar level of carotenoid content in X. dendrorhous SKKU 0107.     

Kinetic characterization and fed-batch fermentation for maximal simultaneous production of esterase and protease from Lysinibacillus fusiformis AU01

The simultaneous production of intracellular esterase and extracellular protease from the strain Lysinibacillus fusiformis AU01 was studied in detail. The production was performed both under batch and fed-batch modes. The maximum yield of intracellular esterase and protease was obtained under full oxygen saturation at the beginning of the fermentation. The data were fitted to the Luedeking–Piret model and it was shown that the enzyme (both esterase and protease) production was growth associated. A decrease in intracellular esterase and increase in the extracellular esterase were observed during late stationary phase. The appearance of intracellular proteins in extracellular media and decrease in viable cell count and biomass during late stationary phase confirmed that the presence of extracellular esterase is due to cell lysis. Even though the fed-batch fermentation with different feeding strategies showed improved productivity, feeding yeast extract under DO-stat fermentation conditions showed highest intracellular esterase and protease production. Under DO-stat fed-batch cultivation, maximum intracellular esterase activity of 820?×?10³ U/L and extracellular protease activity of 172?×?10³ U/L were obtained at the 16th?hr. Intracellular esterase and extracellular protease production were increased fivefold and fourfold, respectively, when compared to batch fermentation performed under shake flask conditions.     

Batch and fed-batch bioreactor studies for the enhanced production of glutaminase-free L-asparaginase from Pectobacterium carotovorum MTCC 1428

The effect of dissolved oxygen (DO) level and pH (controlled/uncontrolled) was first studied to enhance the production of novel glutaminase-free L-asparaginase by Pectobacterium carotovorum MTCC 1428 in a batch bioreactor. The optimum level of DO was found to be 20%. The production of L-asparaginase was found to be maximum when pH of the medium was maintained at 8.5 after 12?h of fermentation. Under these conditions, P. carotovorum produced 17.97?U/mL of L-asparaginase corresponding to the productivity of 1497.50?U/L/h. The production of L-asparaginase was studied in fed-batch bioreactor by feeding L-asparagine (essential substrate for production) and/or glucose (carbon source for growth) at the end of the reaction period of 12?h. The initial medium containing both L-asparagine and glucose in the batch mode and L-asparagine in the feeding stream was found to be the best combination for enhanced production of glutaminase-free L-asparaginase. Under this condition, the L-asparaginase production was increased to 38.8?U/mL, which corresponded to a productivity of 1615.8?U/L/h. The production and productivity were increased by 115.8% and 7.9%, respectively, both of which are higher than those obtained in the batch bioreactor experiments.     

大肠杆菌磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸-糖磷酸转移酶系统改造对产L-色氨酸的影响

L-色氨酸是芳香族氨基酸的一种,被广泛应用于医药、食品和饲料等领域。大肠杆菌磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸-糖磷酸转移酶系统(PTS系统)在葡萄糖转运和磷酸化过程中起重要作用,是糖代谢基因表达调控的核心。利用Red同源重组系统,构建包含两类典型PTS系统突变(ptsHIcrr~-glf-glk~+和ptsG~-)的L-色氨酸生产菌,并对相关菌株进行补料分批发酵研究。结果表明,不同类型PTS系统突变对菌体生长、L-色氨酸产量、糖酸转化率及副产物生成均有较大影响。与出发菌相比,ptsHIcrr~-glf-glk~+突变株最高OD_(600)达到125,提高47.0%,产酸38.5 g/L,提高25.9%,糖酸转化率16.7%,提高26.5%,乙酸生成略有增加;ptsG~-突变株最高OD_(600)达到100,提高17.6%,产酸33.4 g/L,提高9.4%,糖酸转化率15.5%,提高17.4%,乙酸生成略有减少。对葡萄糖转运系统的进一步研究将为大肠杆菌合成L-色氨酸效率的提升提供帮助。     

在林可霉素生物合成过程中铵离子调控作用的酶学研究

在FUS-50L发酵罐内,用林可链霉菌发酵生产林可霉素。研究发现,NH4^＋对林可霉素发酵过程具有显著的调控效应：补入硫酸铵前,发酵液中的NH4^＋浓度由3．0mmol／L消耗至1．0mmol／L以下的控制过程非常关键,这样可能使林可霉素合成酶大量合成,同时,解除了NH4^＋对谷氨酰合成酶（GS）的阻遏效应;20～24h,尽可能提高硫酸铵的平均补入速率,但最高NH4^＋的瞬时浓度应控制在19．0mmol／L以下,一方面可缩短生物量的积累时间,另一方面可避免过高浓度的NH4^＋对GS的抑制作用;24h后逐渐降低NH4^＋的平均补入速率,使主代谢流转入次级代谢;在发酵中期和后期,应将最低NH4^＋浓度控制在3．0～4．0mmol／L的范围内,避免铵离子对GS的阻遏效应,GS比活力与林可霉素的产量呈正相关关系。最终建立了动态的硫酸铵补加工艺。     

Production of mannitol by a novel strain of Candida magnoliae

A novel microorganism was isolated which is able to produce mannitol when grown in the presence of fructose and glucose as carbon sources. In flask culture in a medium containing 150 g fructose l^–1, it yielded 67 g mannitol l^–1 after 168 h. In fed-batch culture with 3–12% (w/v) fructose, production reached a maximum of 209 g mannitol l^–1 after 200 h, corresponding to an 83% yield and a 1.03 g l^–1 h^–1 productivity. The isolated strain was identified as Candida magnoliae based on identical sequences in the D1/D2 domain of its 26S rDNA and a similar carbon source utilization pattern with C. magnoliae reference strains.

Production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) from whey by cell recycle fed-batch culture of recombinant Escherichia coli

A new fermentation strategy using cell recycle membrane system was developed for the efficient production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) from whey by recombinant Escherichia coli strain CGSC 4401 harboring the Alcaligenes latus polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biosynthesis genes. By cell recycle, fed-batch cultivation employing an external membrane module, the working volume of fermentation could be constantly maintained at 2.3 l. The final cell concentration, PHB concentration and PHB content of 194 g l^–1, 168 g l^–1 and 87%, respectively, were obtained in 36.5 h by the pH-stat cell recycle fed-batch culture using whey solution concentrated to contain 280 g lactose l^–1 as a feeding solution, resulting in a high productivity of 4.6 g PHB l^–1 h^–1.
