Seven-carbon sugars, which rarely exist in nature, are the key constitutional unit of septacidin and hygromycin B in bacteria. These sugars exhibit a potential therapeutic effect for hypoglycaemia and cancer and serve as building blocks for the synthesis of C-glycosides and novel antibiotics. However, chemical and enzymatic approaches for the synthesis of seven-carbon sugars have faced challenges, such as complex reaction steps, low overall yields and high-cost feedstock, limiting their industrial-scale production. In this work, we propose a strain engineering approach for synthesising sedoheptulose using glucose as sole feedstock. The gene pfkA encoding 6-phosphofructokinase in Corynebacterium glutamicum was inactivated to direct the carbon flux towards the pentose phosphate pathway in the cellular metabolic network. This genetic modification successfully enabled the synthesis of sedoheptulose from glucose. Additionally, we identified key enzymes responsible for product formation through transcriptome analysis, and their corresponding genes were overexpressed, resulting in a further 20% increase in sedoheptulose production. We achieved a sedoheptulose concentration of 24 g/L with a yield of 0.4 g/g glucose in a 1 L fermenter, marking the highest value up to date. The produced sedoheptulose could further function as feedstock for synthesising structural seven-carbon sugars through coupling with enzymatic isomerisation, epimerisation and reduction reactions.
自然界中很少存在的七碳糖是细菌中septacidin和hygromycin B的关键组成单位。这些糖对低血糖症和癌症具有潜在的治疗效果,也是合成 C-糖苷和新型抗生素的基本成分。然而,合成七碳糖的化学和酶法面临着各种挑战,如反应步骤复杂、总体产量低和原料成本高,从而限制了其工业化生产规模。在这项工作中,我们提出了一种以葡萄糖为唯一原料合成色酮糖的菌株工程方法。谷氨酸棒状杆菌(Corynebacterium glutamicum)中编码 6-磷酸果糖激酶(6-phosphofructokinase)的 pfkA 基因被灭活,从而将碳通量导向细胞代谢网络中的磷酸戊糖途径。这种基因改造成功地实现了从葡萄糖合成沉庚酮糖。此外,我们还通过转录组分析确定了负责产物形成的关键酶,并过度表达了其相应的基因,从而使降七聚糖的产量进一步提高了 20%。我们在 1 升发酵罐中获得了 24 克/升的沉淀七聚糖浓度和 0.4 克/克的葡萄糖产量,这是迄今为止的最高值。通过酶促异构化、表聚化和还原反应,生产出的沉庚糖可进一步用作合成七碳结构糖的原料。

Programming Bordetella pertussis lipid A to promote adjuvanticity 编程百日咳杆菌脂质 A 以促进佐剂性

Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of whooping cough or pertussis. Although both acellular (aP) and whole-cell pertussis (wP) vaccines protect against disease, the wP vaccine, which is highly reactogenic, is better at preventing colonization and transmission. Reactogenicity is mainly attributed to the lipid A moiety of B. pertussis lipooligosaccharide (LOS). Within LOS, lipid A acts as a hydrophobic anchor, engaging with TLR4-MD2 on host immune cells to initiate both MyD88-dependent and TRIF-dependent pathways, thereby influencing adaptive immune responses. Lipid A variants, such as monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) can also act as adjuvants. Adjuvants may overcome the shortcomings of aP vaccines. This work used lipid A modifying enzymes from other bacteria to produce an MPLA-like adjuvant strain in B. pertussis. We created B. pertussis strains with distinct lipid A modifications, which were validated using MALDI-TOF. We engineered a hexa-acylated monophosphorylated lipid A that markedly decreased human TLR4 activation and activated the TRIF pathway. The modified lipooligosaccharide (LOS) promoted IRF3 phosphorylation and type I interferon production, similar to MPLA responses. We generated three other variants with increased adjuvanticity properties and reduced endotoxicity. Pyrogenicity studies using the Monocyte Activation Test (MAT) revealed that these four lipid A variants significantly decreased the IL-6, a marker for fever, response in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). These findings pave the way for developing wP vaccines that are possibly less reactogenic and designing adaptable adjuvants for current vaccine formulations, advancing more effective immunization strategies against pertussis.
百日咳杆菌是百日咳或百日咳的病原体。虽然无细胞百日咳疫苗(aP)和全细胞百日咳疫苗(wP)都能预防疾病,但高致反应性的全细胞百日咳疫苗能更好地预防定植和传播。致反应性主要归因于百日咳杆菌脂寡糖(LOS)中的脂质 A 分子。在 LOS 中,脂质 A 充当疏水锚,与宿主免疫细胞上的 TLR4-MD2 结合,启动 MyD88 依赖性和 TRIF 依赖性途径,从而影响适应性免疫反应。脂质 A 的变体,如单磷脂质 A(MPLA),也可以作为佐剂。佐剂可以克服 aP 疫苗的缺点。这项研究利用来自其他细菌的脂质 A 修饰酶,在百日咳杆菌中产生了一种类似 MPLA 的佐剂菌株。我们创建了具有不同脂质 A 修饰的百日咳杆菌菌株,并使用 MALDI-TOF 对其进行了验证。我们设计了一种六烷基化的单磷酸化脂质 A,它能显著降低人类 TLR4 的活化并激活 TRIF 通路。经修饰的脂寡糖(LOS)可促进 IRF3 磷酸化和 I 型干扰素的产生,与 MPLA 反应类似。我们还生成了另外三种变体,它们具有更强的佐剂特性和更低的内毒素。使用单核细胞活化试验(MAT)进行的热原性研究表明,这四种脂质 A 变体能显著降低外周血单核细胞(PBMCs)中作为发热标志的 IL-6 的反应。这些发现为开发致反应性可能较低的 wP 疫苗以及为现有疫苗配方设计适应性强的佐剂铺平了道路,从而推进了更有效的百日咳免疫策略。

Delaying production with prokaryotic inducible expression systems 利用原核诱导表达系统延迟生产
IF 6.4 2区 生物学 Q1 BIOTECHNOLOGY & APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-09-13 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-024-02523-w

Engineering bacteria with the purpose of optimizing the production of interesting molecules often leads to a decrease in growth due to metabolic burden or toxicity. By delaying the production in time, these negative effects on the growth can be avoided in a process called a two-stage fermentation. During this two-stage fermentation process, the production stage is only activated once sufficient cell mass is obtained. Besides the possibility of using external triggers, such as chemical molecules or changing fermentation parameters to induce the production stage, there is a renewed interest towards autoinducible systems. These systems, such as quorum sensing, do not require the extra interference with the fermentation broth to start the induction. In this review, we discuss the different possibilities of both external and autoinduction methods to obtain a two-stage fermentation. Additionally, an overview is given of the tuning methods that can be applied to optimize the induction process. Finally, future challenges and prospects of (auto)inducible expression systems are discussed. There are numerous methods to obtain a two-stage fermentation process each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Even though chemically inducible expression systems are well-established, an increasing interest is going towards autoinducible expression systems, such as quorum sensing. Although these newer techniques cannot rely on the decades of characterization and applications as is the case for chemically inducible promoters, their advantages might lead to a shift in future inducible expression systems.
以优化生产有趣分子为目的的细菌工程往往会因代谢负担或毒性而导致生长速度下降。通过及时延迟生产,可以在一个称为两阶段发酵的过程中避免这些对生长的负面影响。在这个两阶段发酵过程中,只有在获得足够的细胞量后,才会启动生产阶段。除了可以使用化学分子或改变发酵参数等外部触发器来诱导生产阶段外,人们对自动诱导系统也重新产生了兴趣。这些系统,如法定人数感应,不需要额外干扰发酵液来启动诱导。在本综述中,我们将讨论外部诱导和自动诱导两种方法在实现两阶段发酵方面的不同可能性。此外,还概述了可用于优化诱导过程的调整方法。最后,还讨论了(自动)诱导表达系统的未来挑战和前景。获得两阶段发酵过程的方法有很多,各有利弊。尽管化学诱导表达系统已经非常成熟,但人们对自动诱导表达系统(如法定人数感应)的兴趣与日俱增。虽然这些较新的技术不能像化学诱导型启动子那样依靠数十年的特征描述和应用,但它们的优势可能会导致未来诱导型表达系统的转变。

Microbial green synthesis of luminescent terbium sulfide nanoparticles using E. Coli: a rare earth element detoxification mechanism 利用大肠杆菌的微生物绿色合成发光硫化铽纳米粒子:一种稀土元素解毒机制

Rare-earth sulfide nanoparticles (NPs) could harness the optical and magnetic features of rare-earth ions for applications in nanotechnology. However, reports of their synthesis are scarce and typically require high temperatures and long synthesis times. Here we present a biosynthesis of terbium sulfide (TbS) NPs using microorganisms, identifying conditions that allow Escherichia coli to extracellularly produce TbS NPs in aqueous media at 37 °C by controlling cellular sulfur metabolism to produce a high concentration of sulfide ions. Electron microscopy revealed ultrasmall spherical NPs with a mean diameter of 4.1 ± 1.3 nm. Electron diffraction indicated a high degree of crystallinity, while elemental mapping confirmed colocalization of terbium and sulfur. The NPs exhibit characteristic absorbance and luminescence of terbium, with downshifting quantum yield (QY) reaching 28.3% and an emission lifetime of ~ 2 ms. This high QY and long emission lifetime is unusual in a neat rare-earth compound; it is typically associated with rare-earth ions doped into another crystalline lattice to avoid non-radiative cross relaxation. This suggests a reduced role of nonradiative processes in these terbium-based NPs. This is, to our knowledge, the first report revealing the advantage of biosynthesis over chemical synthesis for Rare Earth Element (REE) based NPs, opening routes to new REE-based nanocrystals.
稀土硫化物纳米粒子(NPs)可利用稀土离子的光学和磁学特性应用于纳米技术。然而,有关其合成的报道很少,而且通常需要高温和较长的合成时间。在此,我们介绍了利用微生物生物合成硫化铽(TbS)NPs 的方法,通过控制细胞硫代谢产生高浓度硫离子,确定了大肠杆菌在 37 °C 水介质中细胞外产生 TbS NPs 的条件。电子显微镜显示出平均直径为 4.1 ± 1.3 nm 的超小球形 NPs。电子衍射表明其结晶度很高,而元素图谱则证实了铽和硫的共定位。这些 NPs 表现出铽元素特有的吸光和发光特性,下移量子产率(QY)达到 28.3%,发射寿命约为 2 毫秒。这种高量子产率和长发射寿命在纯稀土化合物中并不多见;通常与稀土离子掺杂到另一个晶格中以避免非辐射交叉弛豫有关。这表明在这些铽基 NPs 中,非辐射过程的作用有所减弱。据我们所知,这是第一份揭示基于稀土元素(REE)的 NPs 的生物合成比化学合成更具优势的报告,为新的基于稀土元素的纳米晶体开辟了道路。

Pseudomonas putida KT2440 has emerged as a promising host for industrial bioproduction. However, its strictly aerobic nature limits the scope of applications. Remarkably, this microbe exhibits high bioconversion efficiency when cultured in an anoxic bio-electrochemical system (BES), where the anode serves as the terminal electron acceptor instead of oxygen. This environment facilitates the synthesis of commercially attractive chemicals, including 2-ketogluconate (2KG). To better understand this interesting electrogenic phenotype, we studied the BES-cultured strain on a systems level through multi-omics analysis. Inspired by our findings, we constructed novel mutants aimed at improving 2KG production. When incubated on glucose, P. putida KT2440 did not grow but produced significant amounts of 2KG, along with minor amounts of gluconate, acetate, pyruvate, succinate, and lactate. 13C tracer studies demonstrated that these products are partially derived from biomass carbon, involving proteins and lipids. Over time, the cells exhibited global changes on both the transcriptomic and proteomic levels, including the shutdown of translation and cell motility, likely to conserve energy. These adaptations enabled the cells to maintain significant metabolic activity for several weeks. Acetate formation was shown to contribute to energy supply. Mutants deficient in acetate production demonstrated superior 2KG production in terms of titer, yield, and productivity. The ∆aldBI ∆aldBII double deletion mutant performed best, accumulating 2KG at twice the rate of the wild type and with an increased yield (0.96 mol/mol). By integrating transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses, this work provides the first systems biology insight into the electrogenic phenotype of P. putida KT2440. Adaptation to anoxic-electrogenic conditions involved coordinated changes in energy metabolism, enabling cells to sustain metabolic activity for extended periods. The metabolically engineered mutants are promising for enhanced 2KG production under these conditions. The attenuation of acetate synthesis represents the first systems biology-informed metabolic engineering strategy for enhanced 2KG production in P. putida. This non-growth anoxic-electrogenic mode expands our understanding of the interplay between growth, glucose phosphorylation, and glucose oxidation into gluconate and 2KG in P. putida.
普氏假单胞菌 KT2440 已成为工业生物生产中一种很有前途的宿主。然而,它的好氧性限制了其应用范围。值得注意的是,这种微生物在缺氧生物电化学系统(BES)中培养时表现出很高的生物转化效率,在该系统中,阳极代替氧气成为终端电子受体。这种环境有利于合成具有商业吸引力的化学物质,包括 2-Ketogluconate (2KG)。为了更好地理解这种有趣的电生表型,我们通过多组学分析在系统水平上研究了 BES 培养菌株。受研究结果的启发,我们构建了新型突变体,旨在提高 2KG 的产量。在葡萄糖培养条件下,P. putida KT2440 不生长,但产生了大量 2KG,以及少量葡萄糖酸、乙酸、丙酮酸、琥珀酸和乳酸。13C 示踪研究表明,这些产物部分来自生物质碳,涉及蛋白质和脂质。随着时间的推移,细胞在转录组和蛋白质组水平上都发生了全面变化,包括翻译和细胞运动的停止,这可能是为了节约能量。这些适应性使细胞能够在数周内保持大量代谢活动。乙酸的形成被证明有助于能量供应。缺乏乙酸盐生成的突变体在滴度、产量和生产率方面都表现出更高的 2KG 产量。∆aldBI ∆aldBII 双缺失突变体表现最佳,其 2KG 的积累速度是野生型的两倍,产量也有所提高(0.96 摩尔/摩尔)。通过整合转录物组、蛋白质组和代谢组分析,这项研究首次从系统生物学角度揭示了 P. putida KT2440 的电生表型。对缺氧-电原条件的适应涉及能量代谢的协调变化,使细胞能够长时间维持代谢活动。代谢工程突变体有望在这些条件下提高 2KG 产量。醋酸合成的衰减代表了第一种以系统生物学为基础的代谢工程策略,可提高普氏菌的 2KG 产量。这种非生长缺氧-电生模式拓展了我们对普氏菌生长、葡萄糖磷酸化以及葡萄糖氧化成葡萄糖酸盐和 2KG 之间相互作用的理解。

Sophorolipids are glycolipid biosurfactants with potential antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer applications, rendering them promising for research. Therefore, this study hypothesizes that sophorolipids may have a notable impact on disrupting membrane integrity and triggering the production of reactive oxygen species, ultimately resulting in the eradication of pathogenic microbes. The current study resulted in the isolation of two Metschnikowia novel yeast strains. Sophorolipids production from these strains reached maximum yields of 23.24 g/l and 21.75 g/l, respectively, at the bioreactors level. Biosurfactants sophorolipids were characterized using FTIR and LC–MS techniques and found to be a mixture of acidic and lactonic forms with molecular weights of m/z 678 and 700. Our research elucidated sophorolipids’ mechanism in disrupting bacterial and fungal membranes through ROS generation, confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and FACS analysis. The results showed that these compounds disrupted the membrane integrity and induced ROS production, leading to cell death in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Fusarium solani. In addition, the anticancer properties of sophorolipids were investigated on the A549 lung cancer cell line and found that sophorolipid-11D (SL-11D) and sophorolipid-11X (SL-11X) disrupted the actin cytoskeleton, as evidenced by immunofluorescence microscopy. The A549 cells were stained with Acridine orange/Ethidium bromide, which showed that they underwent necrosis. This was confirmed by flow cytometric analysis using Annexin/PI staining. The SL-11D and SL-11X molecules exhibited low levels of haemolytic activity and in-vitro cytotoxicity in HEK293, Caco-2, and L929 cell lines. In this work, novel yeast species CIG-11DT and CIG-11XT, isolated from the bee’s gut, produce significant yields of sophorolipids without needing secondary oil sources, indicating a more economical production method. Our research shows that sophorolipids disrupt bacterial and fungal membranes via ROS production. They suggest they may act as chemo-preventive agents by inducing apoptosis in lung cancer cells, offering the potential for enhancing anticancer therapies.
槐脂是一种糖脂类生物表面活性剂,具有潜在的抗菌、抗真菌和抗癌作用,因此很有研究前景。因此,本研究假设槐脂可能对破坏膜完整性和引发活性氧的产生有显著影响,最终导致病原微生物的根除。目前的研究分离出了两种 Metschnikowia 新型酵母菌株。在生物反应器水平上,这些菌株生产的槐脂最高产量分别为 23.24 克/升和 21.75 克/升。利用傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和液相色谱-质谱(LC-MS)技术对生物表面活性剂槐脂进行了表征,发现槐脂是酸性和乳酸型的混合物,分子量分别为 m/z 678 和 700。我们的研究阐明了槐脂通过产生 ROS 破坏细菌和真菌膜的机制,透射电子显微镜和 FACS 分析证实了这一点。结果表明,这些化合物破坏了膜的完整性并诱导产生 ROS,从而导致肺炎克雷伯菌和茄科镰刀菌的细胞死亡。此外,研究人员还在 A549 肺癌细胞系上研究了槐脂类化合物的抗癌特性,发现槐脂-11D(SL-11D)和槐脂-11X(SL-11X)会破坏肌动蛋白细胞骨架,这在免疫荧光显微镜下得到了证明。用吖啶橙/溴化乙锭对 A549 细胞进行染色,结果显示这些细胞发生了坏死。使用 Annexin/PI 染色法进行的流式细胞分析证实了这一点。SL-11D 和 SL-11X 分子在 HEK293、Caco-2 和 L929 细胞系中表现出低水平的溶血活性和体外细胞毒性。在这项工作中,从蜜蜂肠道中分离出来的新型酵母菌种 CIG-11DT 和 CIG-11XT 无需次级油源就能产生大量槐脂,这表明这是一种更经济的生产方法。我们的研究表明,槐脂可通过产生 ROS 破坏细菌和真菌膜。这些研究表明,它们可以通过诱导肺癌细胞凋亡起到化疗预防作用,从而为加强抗癌疗法提供了潜力。

Biofuel can be generated by different organisms using various substrates. The green alga Chlorococcum humicola OQ934050 exhibited the capability to photosynthesize carbonate carbon, maybe via the activity of carbonic anhydrase enzymes. The optimum treatment is C:N ratio of 1:1 (0.2 mmoles sodium carbonate and 0.2 mmoles sodium nitrate) as it induced the highest dry mass (more than 0.5 mg.mL−1). At this combination, biomass were about 0.2 mg/mL−1 carbohydrates, 0.085 mg/mL−1 proteins, and 0.16 mg/mL−1 oil of this dry weight. The C/N ratios of 1:1 or 10:1 induced up to 30% of the Chlorococcum humicola dry mass as oils. Growth and dry matter content were hindered at 50:1 C/N and oil content was reduced as a result. The fatty acid profile was strongly altered by the applied C.N ratios. The defatted leftovers of the grown alga, after oil extraction, were fermented by a newly isolated heterotrophic bacterium, identified as Bacillus coagulans OQ053202, to evolve hydrogen content as gas. The highest cumulative hydrogen production and reducing sugar (70 ml H2/g biomass and 0.128 mg/ml; respectively) were found at the C/N ratio of 10:1 with the highest hydrogen evolution efficiency (HEE) of 22.8 ml H2/ mg reducing sugar. The optimum treatment applied to the Chlorococcum humicola is C:N ratio of 1:1 for the highest dry mass, up to 30% dry mass as oils. Some fatty acids were induced while others disappeared, depending on the C/N ratios. The highest cumulative hydrogen production and reducing sugar were found at the C/N ratio of 10:1.
生物燃料可由不同生物利用各种底物生成。绿藻 Chlorococcum humicola OQ934050 表现出光合作用碳酸盐碳的能力,这可能是通过碳酸酐酶的活性实现的。最佳处理是碳氮比为 1:1(0.2 毫摩尔碳酸钠和 0.2 毫摩尔硝酸钠),因为它能产生最高的干质量(超过 0.5 毫克/毫升-1)。在这种组合下,生物量约为 0.2 毫克/毫升-1 碳水化合物、0.085 毫克/毫升-1 蛋白质和 0.16 毫克/毫升-1 油。1:1或10:1的C/N比可诱导出高达30%的腐叶绿藻干物质为油。C/N 比为 50:1 时,生长和干物质含量受阻,油含量也随之减少。所采用的 C/N 比严重改变了脂肪酸组成。榨油后的藻类脱脂残渣由一种新分离出来的异养菌(确定为凝结芽孢杆菌 OQ053202)发酵,以气体形式产生氢气。在 C/N 比为 10:1 时,累积产氢量和还原糖最高(分别为 70 毫升 H2/g 生物质和 0.128 毫克/毫升),氢进化效率(HEE)最高,为 22.8 毫升 H2/ 毫克还原糖。对腐生绿球藻的最佳处理方法是 C:N 比为 1:1,以获得最高的干物质,油的干物质含量可达 30%。根据 C/N 比率的不同,一些脂肪酸被诱导产生,而另一些则消失了。C/N比为10:1时,累积产氢量和还原糖最高。

Synthetic redesign of Escherichia coli W for faster metabolism of sugarcane molasses 对大肠杆菌 W 进行合成再设计,加快甘蔗糖蜜的新陈代谢
IF 6.4 2区 生物学 Q1 BIOTECHNOLOGY & APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-09-09 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-024-02520-z

Sugarcane molasses, rich in sucrose, glucose, and fructose, offers a promising carbon source for industrial fermentation due to its abundance and low cost. However, challenges arise from the simultaneous utilization of multiple sugars and carbon catabolite repression (CCR). Despite its nutritional content, sucrose metabolism in Escherichia coli, except for W strain, remains poorly understood, hindering its use in microbial fermentation. In this study, E. coli W was engineered to enhance sugar consumption rates and overcome CCR. This was achieved through the integration of a synthetically designed csc operon and the optimization of glucose and fructose co-utilization pathways. These advancements facilitate efficient utilization of sugarcane molasses for the production of 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP), contributing to sustainable biochemical production processes. In this study, we addressed challenges associated with sugar metabolism in E. coli W, focusing on enhancing sucrose consumption and improving glucose-fructose co-utilization. Through targeted engineering of the sucrose utilization system, we achieved accelerated sucrose consumption rates by modulating the expression of the csc operon components, cscB, cscK, cscA, and cscR. Our findings revealed that monocistronic expression of the csc genes with the deletion of cscR, led to optimal sucrose utilization without significant growth burden. Furthermore, we successfully alleviated fructose catabolite repression by modulating the binding dynamics of FruR with the fructose PTS regulon, enabling near-equivalent co-utilization of glucose and fructose. To validate the industrial applicability of our engineered strain, we pursued 3-HP production from sugarcane molasses. By integrating heterologous genes and optimizing metabolic pathways, we achieved improvements in 3-HP titers compared to previous studies. Additionally, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gapA) repression aids in carbon flux redistribution, enhancing molasses conversion to 3-HP. Despite limitations in sucrose metabolism, the redesigned E. coli W strain, adept at utilizing sugarcane molasses, is a valuable asset for industrial fermentation. Its synthetic csc operon enhances sucrose consumption, while mitigating CCR improves glucose-fructose co-utilization. These enhancements, coupled with repression of gapA, aim to efficiently convert sugarcane molasses into 3-HP, addressing limitations in sucrose and fructose metabolism for industrial applications.
甘蔗糖蜜富含蔗糖、葡萄糖和果糖,因其丰富且成本低廉,为工业发酵提供了一种前景广阔的碳源。然而,同时利用多种糖类和碳代谢抑制(CCR)带来了挑战。尽管蔗糖富含营养,但除 W 菌株外,人们对蔗糖在大肠杆菌中的代谢仍然知之甚少,这阻碍了蔗糖在微生物发酵中的应用。本研究对大肠杆菌 W 进行了改造,以提高糖的消耗率并克服 CCR。这是通过整合合成设计的 csc 操作子以及优化葡萄糖和果糖共同利用途径实现的。这些进步促进了甘蔗糖蜜在生产 3-hydroxypropionic acid(3-HP)过程中的高效利用,为可持续生化生产过程做出了贡献。在本研究中,我们解决了与大肠杆菌 W 中糖代谢相关的挑战,重点是提高蔗糖消耗和改善葡萄糖-果糖协同利用。通过对蔗糖利用系统进行有针对性的工程改造,我们调控了 csc 操作子元件 cscB、cscK、cscA 和 cscR 的表达,从而加快了蔗糖的消耗速度。我们的研究结果表明,在删除 cscR 的情况下,csc 基因的单核苷酸表达可使蔗糖的利用率达到最佳,而不会对生长造成明显的负担。此外,我们还通过调节 FruR 与果糖 PTS 调控子的结合动态,成功地缓解了果糖代谢抑制,使葡萄糖和果糖的共同利用接近等效。为了验证我们的工程菌株在工业上的适用性,我们研究了甘蔗糖蜜中 3-HP 的生产。通过整合异源基因和优化代谢途径,我们的 3-HP 滴度比以前的研究有所提高。此外,甘油醛-3-磷酸脱氢酶(gapA)抑制有助于碳通量的重新分配,提高了糖蜜向 3-HP 的转化。尽管在蔗糖代谢方面存在局限性,但重新设计的大肠杆菌 W 菌株善于利用甘蔗糖蜜,是工业发酵的宝贵财富。其合成的 csc 操作子提高了蔗糖的消耗,而减少 CCR 则改善了葡萄糖-果糖的共同利用。这些改进加上 gapA 的抑制,旨在有效地将甘蔗糖蜜转化为 3-HP,解决工业应用中蔗糖和果糖代谢的局限性。

The influence of talc microparticles on metabolism and morphology of S. rimosus at various initial organic nitrogen concentrations was investigated. The shake flask cultivations were conducted in the media with yeast extract (nitrogen source) concentration equal to 1 g YE L− 1 and 20 g YE L− 1. Two talc microparticle concentrations of 5 g TALC L− 1 and 10 g TALC L− 1 were tested in microparticle-enhanced cultivation (MPEC) runs. A high nitrogen concentration of 20 g YE L− 1 promoted the development of small agglomerates (pellets) of projected area lower than 105 µm2 and dispersed pseudohyphae. A low nitrogen concentration of 1 g YE L− 1 led to the limitation of S. rimosus growth and, in consequence, the development of the smaller number of large pseudohyphal agglomerates (pellets) of projected area higher than 105 µm2 compared to the culture containing a high amount of nitrogen source. In both cases talc microparticles were embedded into pellets and caused the decrease in their sizes. The lower amount of talc (5 g TALC L− 1) usually caused the weaker effect on S. rimosus morphology and metabolite production than the higher one. This correlation between the microparticles effect on morphology and metabolism of S. rimosus was especially noticeable in the biosynthesis of oxytetracycline, 2-acetyl-2-dicarboxamide oxytetracycline (ADOTC) and spinoxazine A. Compared to the control run, in MPEC their levels increased 4-fold, 5-fold and 1.6-fold respectively. The addition of talc also improved the production of 2-methylthio-cis-zeatin, lorneic acid J and milbemycin A3.
研究了滑石微粒在不同初始有机氮浓度下对菱形芽孢杆菌新陈代谢和形态的影响。摇瓶培养是在酵母提取物(氮源)浓度为 1 g YE L- 1 和 20 g YE L- 1 的培养基中进行的。在微粒子强化培养(MPEC)运行中测试了 5 g TALC L- 1 和 10 g TALC L- 1 两种浓度的滑石微粒子。20 g YE L- 1 的高浓度氮促进了投影面积小于 105 µm2 的小团聚体(颗粒)和分散的假菌丝的发育。1 g YE L- 1 的低氮浓度限制了 S. rimosus 的生长,因此,与含有大量氮源的培养物相比,投影面积大于 105 µm2 的大型假头状菌团(颗粒)的数量较少。在这两种情况下,滑石粉微粒都会嵌入颗粒中,并导致其体积减小。较低的滑石粉用量(5 g TALC L-1)通常比较高的滑石粉用量对菱形虫的形态和代谢物产生的影响要小。与对照组相比,在 MPEC 中,它们的含量分别增加了 4 倍、5 倍和 1.6 倍。添加滑石粉还能提高 2-甲硫基-顺式泽汀、龙葵酸 J 和米尔贝霉素 A3 的产量。

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a major cause of viral encephalitis, genital mucosal infections, and neonatal infections. Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis) has been proven to be an effective vehicle for delivering protein antigens and stimulating both mucosal and systemic immune responses. In this study, we constructed a recombinant L. lactis system expressing the protective antigen glycoprotein D (gD) of HSV-1. To improve the stability and persistence of antigen stimulation of the local mucosa, we inserted the immunologic adjuvant interleukin (IL)-2 and the Fc fragment of IgG into the expression system, and a recombinant L. lactis named NZ3900-gD-IL-2-Fc was constructed. By utilizing this recombinant L. lactis strain to elicit an immune response and evaluate the protective effect in mice, the recombinant L. lactis vaccine induced a significant increase in specific neutralizing antibodies, IgG, IgA, interferon-γ, and IL-4 levels in the serum of mice. Furthermore, in comparison to the mice in the control group, the vaccine also enhanced the proliferation levels of lymphocytes in response to gD. Moreover, recombinant L. lactis expressing gD significantly boosted nonspecific immune reactions in mice through the activation of immune-related genes. Furthermore, following the HSV-1 challenge of the murine lung mucosa, mice inoculated with the experimental vaccine exhibited less lung damage than control mice. Our study presents a novel method for constructing a recombinant vaccine using the food-grade, non-pathogenic, and non-commercial bacterium L. lactis. The findings indicate that this recombinant vaccine shows promise in preventing HSV-1 infection in mice.
单纯疱疹病毒 1 型(HSV-1)是病毒性脑炎、生殖器粘膜感染和新生儿感染的主要病因。乳酸乳球菌(L. lactis)已被证明是传递蛋白质抗原和刺激粘膜及全身免疫反应的有效载体。在本研究中,我们构建了一个表达 HSV-1 保护性抗原糖蛋白 D(gD)的重组乳球菌系统。为了提高抗原刺激局部粘膜的稳定性和持久性,我们在表达系统中加入了免疫佐剂白细胞介素(IL)-2和IgG的Fc片段,并构建了名为NZ3900-gD-IL-2-Fc的重组乳杆菌。通过利用这种重组乳杆菌菌株引起免疫反应并评估其对小鼠的保护作用,重组乳杆菌疫苗诱导小鼠血清中特异性中和抗体、IgG、IgA、干扰素-γ和IL-4水平显著增加。此外,与对照组小鼠相比,疫苗还能提高淋巴细胞对 gD 的增殖水平。此外,表达 gD 的重组乳杆菌通过激活免疫相关基因,显著增强了小鼠的非特异性免疫反应。此外,在小鼠肺粘膜受到 HSV-1 挑战后,接种实验疫苗的小鼠比对照组小鼠表现出更少的肺损伤。我们的研究提出了一种利用食品级非致病性非商业性乳酸杆菌构建重组疫苗的新方法。研究结果表明,这种重组疫苗有望预防小鼠感染 HSV-1。

To improve the stability and persistence of antigen stimulation of the local mucosa, we inserted the immunologic adjuvant interleukin (IL)-2 and the Fc fragment of IgG into the expression system, and a recombinant L. lactis named NZ3900-gD-IL-2-Fc was constructed. By utilizing this recombinant L. lactis strain to elicit an immune response and evaluate the protective effect in mice, the recombinant L. lactis vaccine induced a significant increase in specific neutralizing antibodies, IgG, IgA, interferon-γ, and IL-4 levels in the serum of mice. Furthermore, in comparison to the mice in the control group, the vaccine also enhanced the proliferation levels of lymphocytes in response to gD. Moreover, recombinant L. lactis expressing gD significantly boosted nonspecific immune reactions in mice through the activation of immune-related genes. Furthermore, following the HSV-1 challenge of the murine lung mucosa, mice inoculated with the experimental vaccine exhibited less lung damage than control mice. Our study presents a novel method for constructing a recombinant vaccine using the food-grade, non-pathogenic, and non-commercial bacterium L. lactis. The findings indicate that this recombinant vaccine shows promise in preventing HSV-1 infection in mice.","PeriodicalId":18582,"journal":{"name":"Microbial Cell Factories","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142200125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
