Regulation of gluconeogenic enzymes during the cell cycle of Saccharomyces cerevisiae growing in a chemostat 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Oscillation of the activities of gluconeogenic enzymes (malate dehydrogenase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase) was observed during the cell cycle of chemostat cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Since ethanol is released by the cells at the beginning of the division cycle, its effect on enzyme expression was determined. Pulsing ethanol to a synchronously dividing yeast culture led to a prolongation of the metabolically active phase as indicated by the course of oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide production rates (concomitant ethanol and glucose assimilation). Enzyme activities also remained elevated as long as ethanol was available to the cells. After a substrate shift from glucose to ethanol during cell division, ethanol was used without a lag phase and enzyme induction increased from the level reached at the point of the substrate change. The data confirmed that the small amount of ethanol produced when the cells begin active reproduction acts as an inducer of gluconeogenic enzymes. 相似文献

The genes for the alkane-inducible monooxygenase system of the yeast Candida tropicalis, namely a cytochrome P450alk (P450alk) and a NADPH cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (NCPR) gene, were transferred in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The P450alk gene was expressed in this host with the help of the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase I (ADHI) promoter and terminator, whereas the NCPR gene could be expressed with its own structural elements. The presence of P450alk in S. cerevisiae microsomal fractions resulted in a new acquired lauric acid terminal hydroxylation activity. Moreover, the same activity, coupled with the appearance of 12-hydroxylauric acid derivatives, could be obtained by the addition of lauric acid to intact cells expressing P450alk. The coordinate expression of the P450alk and NCPR genes in S. cerevisiae elevated the turnover rate of the P450alk monooxygenase activity about 2-fold. 相似文献

Pseudomonas aeruginosa biosurfactant production in continuous culture with glucose as carbon source 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Rsan-ver, a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated at this department, was used for the development of a continuous process for biosurfactant production. The active compounds were identified as rhamnolipids. A final medium for production was designed in continuous culture by means of medium shifts, since the formation of surface-active compounds was decisively influenced by the composition and concentration of the medium components. In the presence of yeast extract, biosurfactant production was poor. For the nitrogen-source nitrate, which was superior to ammonium, an optimum carbon-to-nitrogen ratio of ca. 18 existed. The iron concentration needed to be minimized to 27.5 micrograms of FeSO4 X 7H2O per g of glucose. A carbon-to-phosphate ratio below 16 yielded the maximum production of rhamnolipids. The final productivity dilution rate diagram indicated that biosurfactant production was correlated to low growth rates (dilution rate below 0.15 h-1). With a medium containing 18.2 g of glucose liter-1, a biosurfactant concentration (expressed as rhamnolipids) of up to 1.5 g liter-1 was obtained in the cell-free culture liquid. 相似文献

The relationship between oxygen concentration and growth rate in the yeast Trichosporon cutaneum was studied. In order to establish the conditions for purely oxygen-limited growth, the cells were first grown in a carbon-limited chemostat, and kinetic parameters determined. The cells were then grown in an oxygen-limited chemostat at different dilution rates yielding different oxygen uptake rates. The steady-state dissolved oxygen tension was found at each dilution rate and the corresponding equilibrium dissolved oxygen tension was found at each dilution rate and the corresponding equilibrium dissolved oxygen concentration determined in the effluent medium. The relationship between oxygen concentration and growth rate followed Monod-type kinetics with an apparent K(O) of 4.38 x 10(-6)M. 相似文献

Summary Cytochrome P450 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an inducible enzyme system. Hitherto, its induction was related to semi-anaerobic culture conditions and high glucose concentrations in the growth medium respectively. Since glucose and oxygen are main regulatory effectors in this yeast, the relationship between the occurrence of cytochrome P450 and these two effectors was established in continuous culture. At glucose-derepressed conditions it was not possible to induce the formation of cytochrome P450 by oxygen limitation alone. The oxygen supply had to be decreased to a level where glucose repression also became active. At glucose-repressed conditions cytochrome P450 was obtained in good yield (3 to 5 pmol per mg dry cell weight) below a dissolved oxygen tension of appproximately 15%. There was a correlation between the content of mitochondrial cytochromes and that of cytochrome P450. The presence of mitochondrial cytochromes was reciprocal with cytochrome P450 when its content was increased by lowering the dissolved oxygen tension. 相似文献

The growth of Hansenula polymorpha and Kloeckera sp. 2201 with a mixture of glucose and methanol (38.8%/61.2%, w/w) and the regulation of the methanol dissimilating enzymes alcohol oxidase, catalase, formaldehyde dehydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase were studied in chemostat culture, as a function of the dilution rate. Both organisms utilized and assimilated glucose and methanol simultaneously up to dilution rates of 0.30 h-1 (H. polymorpha) and 0.26h-1, respectively (Kloeckera sp. 2201) which significantly exceeded max found for the two yeasts with methanol as the only source of carbon. At higher dilution rates methanol utilisation ceased and only glucose was assimilated. Over the whole range of mixed-substrate growth both carbon sources were assimilated with the same efficiency as during growth with glucose or methanol alone.In cultures of H. polymorpha, however, the growth yield for glucose was lowered by the unmetabolized methanol at high dilution rates. During growth on both carbon sources the repression of the synthesis of all catabolic methanol enzymes which is normally caused by glucose was overcome by the inductive effect of the simultaneously fed methanol. In both organisms the synthesis of alcohol oxidase was found to be regulated differently as compared to catalase, formaldehyde and formate dehydrogenase. Whereas increasing repression of the synthesis of alcohol oxidase was found with increasing dilution rates as indicated by gradually decreasing specific activities of this enzyme in cell-free extracts, the specific activities of this enzyme in cell-free extracts, the specific activities of catalase and the dehydrogenases increased with increasing growth rates until repression started. The results indicate similar patterns of the regulation of the synthesis of methanol dissimilating enzymes in different methylotrophic yeasts.Abbreviations and Terms C1

The partition of hexadecane to the cell surface of Candida tropicalis was measured by incubating heat-inactivated cells with hexadecane-1-14C on a gyratory shaker. The free hexadecane was separated by centrifuging the cells through a 15% sucrose solution, and the partitioned hexadecane was quantified by scintillation spectrometry of the samples from the resulting cell sediment. Heat-inactivated cells did not take up hexadecane as determined by a membrane filtration technique involving organic solvent washing. The partitioning was a time-dependent process. The velocity increased by increasing the shake rate of te shaker. At 360 rpm and with baffled flasks, saturation of the cell surface with hexadecane was obtained after a 20 min incubation period. The amount of hexadecane partitioned depended on the initial hexadecane-to-cell concentration ratio. At a ratio of 5 μmol/mg cell protein the highest amount of hexadecane partitioned was measured at 2100 μmol/mg cell protein. At ratios higher than 6 μmol/mg cell protein the cells were no longer sedimentable by centrifugation. The partition of hexadecane to the cell surface was affected by removing the surface layer of the cell wall by Pronase treatment and by using detergents in the partition assay. Pronase treatment lowered the amount of hexadecane partitioned as a consequence of the removal of the lipophilic layer of the cell surface. Detergents influence the partition coefficient and also lowered the amount of hexadecane partitioning to the cell surface. At a low shaking intensity (280 rpm, unbaffled flasks), after Pronase treatment, and in the presence of detergents he uptake of hexadecane by the cells was limited by the partitioning. 相似文献

The respirative breakdown of glucose by Saccharomyces cerevisiae: an assessment of a physiological state 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae exhibiting respirative glucose metabolism in continuous culture were able to use ethanol as a co-substrate. The ethanol uptake rate was dependent on the residual respirative capacity of the cells. The activities of gluconeogenic enzymes and of malate dehydrogenase were higher in cells degrading glucose respiratively than in cells metabolizing glucose respiro-fermentatively, but were lower than in cells growing on ethanol only. The pattern of distribution of the mitochondrial cytochromes was similar but the differences were less distinct. In synchronously growing cells, the activities of gluconeogenic enzymes and of malate dehydrogenase oscillated, with activities increasing during the budding phase. The increase was preceded by the appearance of ethanol in the culture medium. 相似文献
