Characterization of type II thioesterases involved in natamycin biosynthesis in Streptomyces chattanoogensis L10

The known functions of type II thioesterases (TEIIs) in type I polyketide synthases (PKSs) include selecting of starter acyl units, removal of aberrant extender acyl units, releasing of final products, and dehydration of polyketide intermediates. In this study, we characterized two TEIIs (ScnI and PKSIaTEII) from Streptomyces chattanoogensis L10. Deletion of scnI in S. chattanoogensis L10 decreased the natamycin production by about 43%. Both ScnI and PKSIaTEII could remove acyl units from the acyl carrier proteins (ACPs) involved in the natamycin biosynthesis. Our results show that the TEII could play important roles in both the initiation step and the elongation steps of a polyketide biosynthesis; the intracellular TEIIs involved in different biosynthetic pathways could complement each other.

链霉菌A01-chit33CT产纳他霉素和几丁质酶协同表达发酵条件优化

生物农药由于具有良好的生态效应和安全性,因此比化学农药更受到人们的青睐,生物农药的发展契合低碳、循环、清洁绿色经济发展理念。因此,寻求利于食品安全和环境保护,同时高效控制植物病害的新型生物农药成为时下及未来研究的热点。链霉菌以产生纳他霉素等抗生素起到生防作用。链霉菌株A01-chit33CT既可以产生纳他霉素又可以高表达几丁质酶活,生防效果大大增加。为确定链霉菌A01-chit33CT产纳他霉素和几丁质酶协同表达的发酵条件,初步探索了碳氮源和发酵条件对菌株产生纳他霉素和几丁质酶的影响。结果表明,葡萄糖促进纳他霉素的产生而抑制几丁质酶的表达,因此分两阶段添加葡萄糖和几丁质粉来达到二者协同表达。研究确定最佳发酵培养基为:葡萄糖40 g/L,几丁质粉10 g/L(发酵4 d添加),黄豆粉30 g/L,大豆蛋白胨10 g/L,CaCO35 g/L,MgSO4.7H2O 0.5 g/L,K2HPO40.5 g/L。最优发酵条件为:初始pH 6.0,温度28℃,转速180 r/min。在此条件下,链霉菌A01-chit33CT产纳他霉素达1.52 g/L,同时几丁质酶活达990 U/ml,二者比优化前的水平分别提高了1.95倍和2.27倍。     

Improvement in natamycin production by Streptomyces natalensis with the addition of short-chain carboxylic acids

Natamycin is an important tetraene (polyene) antibiotic produced in submerged culture by different strains of Streptomyces sp. In the present work, the effects of the addition of short-chain carboxylic acids (acetic, propionic and butyric) on cell growth and the kinetics of natamycin production were investigated during submerged cultivation of Streptomyces natalensis. The addition of acetic and propionic acids showed stimulatory effects on natamycin production when added to the fermentation medium at concentrations below 2 g L^?1 at the beginning of cultivation. In addition, when acetic and propionic acids were added in a mixture (7:1) at a total concentration of 2 g L^?1, antibiotic production increased significantly, reaching 3.0 g L^?1 (approximately 223% and 250% increases in volumetric and specific antibiotic production, respectively, compared with the control culture). Moreover, the addition of carboxylic acids not only increased the antibiotic yield but also decreased the production time from 96 h to only 84 h in shake-flask cultures. A further enhancement in natamycin production was achieved by cultivation in a 2-L stirred-tank bioreactor under controlled pH conditions. The maximum volumetric production of 3.98 g L^?1 was achieved after 84 h in carboxylic acid-supplemented culture (acetate and propionate in a ratio of 7:1).

以纳他霉素产生菌——褐黄孢链霉菌(Streptomyces gilvosporeus)为研究对象,以96深孔板为载体,建立适合大规模菌株快速筛选的微量培养体系。首先用8层纱布外加有孔不锈钢盖子较好地解决了水分蒸发及交叉污染的问题;确定了深孔板装液量600μL、转速300r/min、振幅40mm的最佳培养条件,此时菌体生长和产物合成的变化趋势均与摇瓶培养过程非常类似。实验发现微量培养体系的最大板内和板间差异分别为1.93%和6.62%,通过统计学软件分析,两种不同培养体系下获得的菌株产量之间具有极显著的线性回归关系(F=39.303,P=0.000.01),产量分布的排序大致相同,这表明微孔板作为培养体系,具有标准化、平行化等优点,能很好地应用于大量菌株的快速筛选。
