Control Engineering Perspective on Genome-Scale Metabolic Modeling
Control Engineering Perspective on Genome-Scale Metabolic Modeling by Andrew Louis Damiani A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama December 12, 2015 Key words: Scheffersomyces stipitis, Flux Balance Analysis, Genome-scale metabolic models, System Identification Framework, Model Validation, Phenotype Phase Plane Analysis Copyright 2015 by Andrew Damiani Approved by Jin Wang, Chair, Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering Q. Peter He, Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering, Tuskegee University Thomas W. Jeffries, Professor of Bacteriology, Emeritus; University of Wisconsin-Madison Allan E. David, Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering Yoon Y. Lee, Professor of Chemical Engineering Abstract Fossil fuels impart major problems on the global economy and have detrimental effects to the environment, which has caused a world-wide initiative of producing renewable fuels. Lignocellulosic bioethanol for renewable energy has recently gained attention, because it can overcome the limitations that first generation biofuels impose. Nonetheless, in order to have this process commercialized, the biological conversion of pentose sugars, mainly xylose, needs to be improved. Scheffersomyces stipitis has a physiology that makes it a valuable candidate for lignocellulosic bioethanol production, and lately has provided genes for designing recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study, a system biology approach was taken to understand the relationship of the genotype to phenotype, whereby genome-scale metabolic models (GSMMs) are used in conjunction with constraint-based modeling. The major restriction of GSMMs is having an accurate methodology for validation and evaluation. This is due to the size and complexity of the models. -
Discovery of an Alternate Metabolic Pathway for Urea Synthesis in Adult Aedes Aegypti Mosquitoes
Discovery of an alternate metabolic pathway for urea synthesis in adult Aedes aegypti mosquitoes Patricia Y. Scaraffia*†‡, Guanhong Tan§, Jun Isoe*†, Vicki H. Wysocki*§, Michael A.

James, University of California, Irvine, CA, and approved December 4, 2007 (received for review August 27, 2007) We demonstrate the presence of an alternate metabolic pathway We previously reported that mosquitoes dispose of toxic for urea synthesis in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that converts uric ammonia through glutamine (Gln) and proline (Pro) synthesis, acid to urea via an amphibian-like uricolytic pathway. For these along with excretion of ammonia, uric acid, and urea (20). By studies, female mosquitoes were fed a sucrose solution containing using labeled isotopes and mass spectrometry techniques (21), 15 15 15 15 15 NH4Cl, [5- N]-glutamine, [ N]-proline, allantoin, or allantoic we have recently determined how the N from NH4Cl is acid. At 24 h after feeding, the feces were collected and analyzed incorporated into the amide side chain of Gln, and then into Pro, in a mass spectrometer. Specific enzyme inhibitors confirmed that in Ae. aegypti (22). In the present article we demonstrate that the 15 15 15 mosquitoes incorporate N from NH4Cl into [5- N]-glutamine nitrogen of the amide group of Gln contributes to uric acid and use the 15N of the amide group of glutamine to produce synthesis in mosquitoes and, surprisingly, that uric acid can be 15 labeled uric acid. -

Arginase Specific Activity and Nitrogenous Excretion of Penaeus Japonicus Exposed to Elevated Ambient Ammonia
MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published July 10 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Arginase specific activity and nitrogenous excretion of Penaeus japonicus exposed to elevated ambient ammonia Jiann-Chu Chen*,Jiann-Min Chen Department of Aquaculture. National Taiwan Ocean University. Keelung, Taiwan 20224, Republic of China ABSTRACT: Mass-specific activity of arginase and nitrogenous excretion of Penaeus japonicus Bate (10.3 * 3.7 g) were measured for shrimps exposed to 0.029 (control), 1.007 and 10.054 mg 1-' ammonia- N at 32%, S for 24 h. Arginase specific activity of gill, hepatopancreas and midgut increased directly with ambient ammonia-N, whereas arginase specific activity of muscle was inversely related to ambient ammonia-N. Excretion of total-N (total nitrogen), organic-N and urea-N increased, whereas excretion of ammonia-N, nitrate-N and nitrite-N decreased significantly with an increase of ambient ammonia- N. In the control solution, japonlcus excreted 68.94% ammonia-N, 25.39% organic-N and 2.87% urea-N. For the shrimps exposed to 10 mg 1" ammonia-N, ammonia-N uptake occurred, and t.he con- tribution of organic-N and urea-N excretion increased to 90.57 and 8.78%, respectively, of total-N. High levels of arginase specific activity in the gill, midgut and hepatopancreas suggest that there is an alternative route of nitrogenous waste for P. japonicus under ammonia exposure. KEY WORDS: Penaeus japonicus - Ammonia . Arginase activity . Nitrogenous excretion . Metabolism INTRODUCTION processes. Therefore, accumulation of ammonia and its toxicity are of primary concern. Kuruma shrimp Penaeus japonicus Bate, which is Ammonia has been reported to increase molting fre- distributed in Pacific rim countries, is also found in the quency, reduce growth, and even cause mortality of Mediterranean. -
