National Cellter for Agricultural Utilization Research USDA Agricultural Research Service. Peoria, Illinois 61604: Received 9 July 1996/Accepted 4 November 1996 Genomic libraries from nine cellobiose-metabolizing bacteria were screened for cellobiose utilization. Pos­ itive clones were recovered from six libraries, all of which encode phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phos­ photransferase system (PTS) proteins. Clones from Bacillus subtilis, Butyrivibrio jibrisolvens, and Klebsiella oxytoca allowed the growth of recombinant Escherichia coli in cellobiose-M9 minimal medium. The K. oxytoca clone, pL0I1906, exhibited an unusually broad substrate range (cellobiose, arbutin, salicin. and methylum­ belliferyl derivatives ofglucose, cellobiose, mannose, and xylose) and was sequenced. The insert in this plasmid encoded the carboxy-terminal region of a putative regulatory protein, cellobiose permease (single polypeptide), and phospho-~-glucosidase,which appear to form an operon (casRAB). Subclones allowed both casA and casB to be expressed independently, as evidenced by in vitro complementation. An analysis of the translated sequences from the EIIC domains of cellobiose, aryl-~-glucoside, and other disaccharide permeases allowed the identification of a 50-amino-acid conserved region. A disaccharide consensus sequence is proposed for the most conserved segment (13 amino acids), which may represent part of the EIIC active site for binding and phosphorylation.

Under certain environmental conditions, it has massive outbreaks, resulting in attacks of healthy trees, becoming a forest pest. It has been proposed that the bark beetle’s microbiome plays a key role in the insect’s ecology, providing nutrients, inhibiting pathogens, and degrading tree defense compounds, among other probable traits. During a study of bacterial associates from I. typographus, we isolated three strains identified as Pseudomonas from different beetle life stages. In this work, we aimed to reveal the taxonomic status of these bacterial strains and to sequence and annotate their genomes to mine possible traits related to a role within the bark beetle holobiont.

    INVESTIGATING THE COUPLING MECHANISM IN THE E. COLI MULTIDRUG TRANSPORTER, MdfA, BY FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY N. Fluman, D. Cohen-Karni, E. Bibi Department of Biological Chemistry, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel In bacteria, multidrug transporters couple the energetically favored import of protons to export of chemically-dissimilar drugs (substrates) from the cell. By this function, they render bacteria resistant against multiple drugs. In this work, fluorescence spectroscopy of purified protein is used to unravel the mechanism of coupling between protons and substrates in MdfA, an E. coli multidrug transporter. Intrinsic fluorescence of MdfA revealed that binding of an MdfA substrate, tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP), induced a conformational change in this transporter. The measured affinity of MdfA-TPP was increased in basic pH, raising a possibility that TPP might bind tighter to the deprotonated state of MdfA. Similar increases in affinity of TPP also occurred (1) in the presence of the substrate chloramphenicol, or (2) when MdfA is covalently labeled by the fluorophore monobromobimane at a putative chloramphenicol interacting site. We favor a mechanism by which basic pH, chloramphenicol binding, or labeling with monobromobimane, all induce a conformational change in MdfA, which results in deprotonation of the transporter and increase in the affinity of TPP.

Although many correlations have been described, specific mechanistic links between these changes and glucose homeostasis remain to be defined. Here we show that blood and intestinal levels of the microbiota-produced N-formyl peptide, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLF), are elevated in high fat diet (HFD)- induced obese mice. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of the N-formyl peptide receptor Fpr1 leads to increased insulin levels and improved glucose tolerance, dependent upon glucagon- like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Obese Fpr1-knockout (Fpr1-KO) mice also display an altered microbiome, exemplifying the dynamic relationship between host metabolism and microbiota.

Abstract: Maize forms the basis of Mexican food. As a result, approximately six million tons of corncob are produced each year, which represents an environmental issue, as well as a potential feedstock for biogas production. This research aimed to analyze the taxonomic and functional shift in the microbiome of the fermenters using a whole metagenome shotgun approach. Two strategies were used to understand the microbial community at the beginning and the end of anaerobic digestion: (i) phylogenetic analysis to infer the presence and coverage of clade-specific markers to assign taxonomy and (ii) the recovery of the individual genomes from the samples using the binning of the assembled scaffolds. The results showed that anaerobic digestion brought some noticeable changes and the main microbial community was composed of Corynebacterium variable, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, Vibrio furnissii, Shewanella spp., Actinoplanes spp., Pseudoxanthomonas spp., Saccharomonospora azurea, Citation: Breton-Deval, L.; Agromyces spp., Serinicoccus spp., Cellulomonas spp., Pseudonocardia spp., Rhodococcus rhodochrous, Salinas-Peralta, I.; Alarcón Aguirre, Sphingobacterium spp.

  • Structures and Characteristics of Carbohydrates in Diets Fed to Pigs: a Review Diego M
    Navarro et al. Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology (2019) 10:39 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40104-019-0345-6 REVIEW Open Access Structures and characteristics of carbohydrates in diets fed to pigs: a review Diego M. D. L. Navarro1, Jerubella J. Abelilla1 and Hans H. Stein1,2* Abstract The current paper reviews the content and variation of fiber fractions in feed ingredients commonly used in swine diets. Carbohydrates serve as the main source of energy in diets fed to pigs. Carbohydrates may be classified according to their degree of polymerization: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Digestible carbohydrates include sugars, digestible starch, and glycogen that may be digested by enzymes secreted in the gastrointestinal tract of the pig. Non-digestible carbohydrates, also known as fiber, may be fermented by microbial populations along the gastrointestinal tract to synthesize short-chain fatty acids that may be absorbed and metabolized by the pig. These non-digestible carbohydrates include two disaccharides, oligosaccharides, resistant starch, and non-starch polysaccharides. The concentration and structure of non-digestible carbohydrates in diets fed to pigs depend on the type of feed ingredients that are included in the mixed diet. Cellulose, arabinoxylans, and mixed linked β-(1,3) (1,4)-D-glucans are the main cell wall polysaccharides in cereal grains, but vary in proportion and structure depending on the grain and tissue within the grain. Cell walls of oilseeds, oilseed meals, and pulse crops contain cellulose, pectic polysaccharides, lignin, and xyloglucans. Pulse crops and legumes also contain significant quantities of galacto-oligosaccharides including raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose.

  • In Vitro and in Vivo Exploration of the Cellobiose and Cellodextrin Phosphorylases Panel in Ruminiclostridium Cellulolyticum: Im
    Liu et al. Biotechnol Biofuels (2019) 12:208 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13068-019-1549-x Biotechnology for Biofuels RESEARCH Open Access In vitro and in vivo exploration of the cellobiose and cellodextrin phosphorylases panel in Ruminiclostridium cellulolyticum: implication for cellulose catabolism Nian Liu1, Aurélie Fosses1, Clara Kampik1, Goetz Parsiegla2, Yann Denis3, Nicolas Vita1, Henri‑Pierre Fierobe1 and Stéphanie Perret1* Abstract Background: In anaerobic cellulolytic micro‑organisms, cellulolysis results in the action of several cellulases gathered in extracellular multi‑enzyme complexes called cellulosomes. Their action releases cellobiose and longer cellodex‑ trins which are imported and further degraded in the cytosol to fuel the cells. In Ruminiclostridium cellulolyticum, an anaerobic and cellulolytic mesophilic bacteria, three cellodextrin phosphorylases named CdpA, CdpB, and CdpC, were identifed in addition to the cellobiose phosphorylase (CbpA) previously characterized. The present study aimed at characterizing them, exploring their implication during growth on cellulose to better understand the life‑style of cellulolytic bacteria on such substrate. Results: The three cellodextrin phosphorylases from R. cellulolyticum displayed marked diferent enzymatic char‑ acteristics. They are specifc for cellodextrins of diferent lengths and present diferent kcat values. CdpC is the most active enzyme before CdpA, and CdpB is weakly active. Modeling studies revealed that a mutation of a conserved histidine residue in the phosphate ion‑binding pocket in CdpB and CdpC might explain their activity‑level diferences. The genes encoding these enzymes are scattered over the chromosome of R. cellulolyticum and only the expression of the gene encoding the cellobiose phosphorylase and the gene cdpA is induced during cellulose growth. Char‑ acterization of four independent mutants constructed in R.

  • アミロース製造に利用する酵素の開発と改良 Phosphorylase and Muscle Phosphorylase B
    125 J. Appl. Glycosci., 54, 125―131 (2007) !C 2007 The Japanese Society of Applied Glycoscience Proceedings of the Symposium on Amylases and Related Enzymes, 2006 Developing and Engineering Enzymes for Manufacturing Amylose (Received December 5, 2006; Accepted January 5, 2007) Michiyo Yanase,1,＊ Takeshi Takaha1 and Takashi Kuriki1 1 Biochemical Research Laboratory, Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd. (4 ―6 ―5, Utajima, Nishiyodogawa-ku, Osaka 555-8502, Japan) Abstract: Amylose is a functional biomaterial and is expected to be used for various industries. However at present, manufacturing of amylose is not done, since the purification of amylose from starch is very difficult. It has been known that amylose can be produced in vitro by using α-glucan phosphorylases. In order to ob- tain α-glucan phosphorylase suitable for manufacturing amylose, we isolated an α-glucan phosphorylase gene from Thermus aquaticus and expressed it in Escherichia coli. We also obtained thermostable α-glucan phos- phorylase by introducing amino acid replacement onto potato enzyme. α-Glucan phosphorylase is suitable for the synthesis of amylose; the only problem is that it requires an expensive substrate, glucose 1-phosphate. We have avoided this problem by using α-glucan phosphorylase either with sucrose phosphorylase or cellobiose phosphorylase, where inexpensive raw material, sucrose or cellobiose, can be used instead. In these combined enzymatic systems, α-glucan phosphorylase is a key enzyme. This paper summarizes our work on engineering practical α-glucan phosphorylase for industrial processes and its use in the enzymatic synthesis of essentially linear amylose and other glucose polymers. Key words: amylose, glucose polymer, α-glucan phosphorylase, glycogen debranching enzyme, protein engi- neering α-1,4 glucan is the major form of energy reserve from Enzymes for amylose synthesis.

  • Levan and Levansucrase-A Mini Review
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 4, ISSUE 05, MAY 2015 ISSN 2277-8616 Levan And Levansucrase-A Mini Review Bruna Caroline Marques Goncalves, Cristiani Baldo, Maria Antonia Pedrine Colabone Celligoi Abstract: Levansucrase is a fructosyltranferase that synthesizes levan and present great biotechnological interest. It’s being widely used in therapeutic, food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Levansucrase is produced by many microorganisms such as the Bacillus subtilis Natto using the sucrose fermentation. In this mini-review we described some properties and functions of this important group of enzymes and the recent technologies used in the production and purification of levansucrase and levan. Index Terms: Levan, levansucrase, fermentation, sucrose ———————————————————— 1 INTRODUCTION This enzyme contributes 60% of the extracellular sucrase The levansucrase (EC 2.4.1.10) is the best characterized activity, but it catalyses neither fructose polymerization into fructosyltranferases and are synthesize by most microbial levan nor degradation of polyfructose such as levan or inulin. levans by transferring a β(2→1)-D-frutosyl residue to the Thus, this enzyme differs from the B. subtilis SacC, which acceptor molecule (sucrose or levan) [1]. The database showed levanase activity in addition to sucrose hydrolysis. “carbohydrate-active enzymes” (CAZY) grouped the microbial FOUET et al.
