High succinic acid tolerance E.coli (DST160)

ABSTRACT: To understand cell responses against high succinate stress, a continuous culture was performed for 9 months using a wild Escherichia coli under gradually increasing succinate stress. The final adapted strain against high succinate stress, named DST160, was able to grow with no lag phase in medium containing 1.35 M of succinate stress while wild W3110 showed more than 38 h lag phase. The maximum growth rate and growth yield of DST160 under the stress condition were 0.20 h-1 and 0.192 g-cell/g-glucose, which were 53.8 % and 12.3 % higher than those of W3110 (0.13 h-1 and 0.171 g-cell/g-glucose, respectively). A single colony of E. coli W3110 was inoculated into a 15-mL tube containing 4 mL of LB medium. After 12 h cultivation in a shaking incubator at 37℃ and 220 rpm, pre-culture (1 mL) was transferred to a 250 mL-fermentor (Mini-chemostat fermentor; Biotron Inc., Bucheon, Korea) containing 100 mL medium consisted of M9-glucose minimal medium (3 g glucose , 0.8 g NH4Cl, 0.5 g NaCl, 7.5 g Na2HPO4•2H2O, 3 g KH2PO4 with separately added trace elements of 0.2 g MgSO4•7H2O, 0.1 g CaCl2, 1 mg thiamine) per liter supplemented with 254 mmole of succinate (30 g succinic acid) per liter. The initial pH of the medium was set to be pH 7.5 by adding 6N NaOH. The fermentor was operated at 37℃, 350 rpm with air flushing (100 mL/min.). After 12 h batch mode growth, feeding and outlet pumps were turned on at flow rate of 0.167 mL/min (Dilution rate=0.1 h-1). The fresh medium reservoir (10 L) contained the same contents and pH with the initial medium. Every 10 turnover time (100 h), the reservoir was changed with the same medium composition except succinate concentration. The succinate concentration of the reservoir was gradually increased by 25.4 ~ 84.7 mM (3 ~ 10 g/L of succinic acid) at a time than previous states depending on the cell concentrations at the outlet. When the cell concentration was reduced below O.D.=0.2, succinate feeding pump was temporarily stopped to go back to the slightly lower succinate concentration. The continuous culture was performed until the steady state when succinate in the reservoir reached 1.35 M (160 g/L in succinic acid form). The final adapted cells in 100 mL culture were harvested by centrifuge and frozen rapidly in a liquid nitrogen tank for further analyses including DNA microarray. To understand the change of up/down regulations in the high-succinate adapted E. coli, total mRNAs of control cells and the adapted E. coli cells were extracted using a RNA extraction kit (RNeasy mini kit; Quiagen, Hilden, Germany), and the transcriptomes were compared using DNA microarray. Hybridization and washing were accomplished by a facility of Digital Genomics Co (Seoul, Korea). DNA microarray were scanned using an Axon GenePix 4000B Scanner (Axon Instruments, Union City, CA, USA), and the scanned images were analyzed with GenePix Pro 3.0 software to obtain gene expression ratios.

Project description:Malic enzymes decarboxylate the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediate malate to the glycolytic end-product pyruvate and are well positioned to regulate metabolic flux in central carbon metabolism. The bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti has a NAD(P)-malic enzyme (DME) and a NADP-malic enzyme (TME) and DME is required for symbiotic N2-fixation. To help understand the role of these enzymes, we examined growth, metabolic and transcriptional consequences resulting from the deletion of these enzymes. Few effects were observed upon growth with glucose, whereas growth with the gluconeogenic substrate, succinate, resulted in transcriptional and metabolic effects particularly in the dme mutant strains. When grown with succinate, DME mutant cells accumulated hexose sugar phosphates and trehalose, while TME mutants accumulated putrescine. Succinate-grown DME mutant cells also showed increased transcription of genes for gluconeogenesis and for pathways such as amino acid and fatty acid synthesis that divert metabolites away from the TCA cycle. These data suggested that, DME is required to regulate the levels of TCA cycle intermediates and that the activity of TME is insufficient to prevent the accumulation of TCA cycle intermediates in cells utilizing succinate as carbon source. Consistent with this, in short-1-3 hour incubations with succinate, dme mutant cells excreted large amounts of malate whereas little malate was excreted from tme or wild-type cells. These results support the suggestion that DME is required for N2-fixation in alfalfa because it is required for synthesis of pyruvate and acetyl-CoA and the rapid metabolism of C4-dicarboxylates supplied by the plant. RNA expression was measured for S. meliloti in exponential phase grown in MOPS (morpholinpropanesulfonic acid) buffered minimal media under 2 growth conditions: 1) 15 mM succinate, 2) 15 mM glucose; using wild type cells as well as dme and tme mutant strains (6 experiments, 2 replicates: total 12 samples)

Project description:Raw expression values (CHP data) for transcriptional profiling of the response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to challenges with lactic acid at pH 3 and pH 5. Experiment Overall Design: The laboratory reference strain CEN.PK 113-7D (MATa) was grown at 30 Â°C in 1.5-L chemostat fermentors (Applikon, Schiedam, The Netherlands) with a working volume of 1-L using an electronic level sensor to maintain a constant volume. All cultures, including the reference, were fed with minimal medium as described by Verduyn et al. (1992) with 25 g L-1 glucose as the limiting nutrient and 0.15 ml L-1 silicone antifoam (BDH, Poole, England) to prevent excessive foaming. The dilution rate was set to 0.10 h-1 and the pH was controlled at 5.0 with the automatic addition (ADI 1031 bio controller, Applikon) of 2 M KOH. The stirrer speed was set at 800 RPM and anaerobicity was maintained by sparging the fermentor with N2 gas at 500 ml min-1. To prevent diffusion of oxygen, the fermentor was equipped with Norprene tubing and Viton O-rings and the medium vessel was also flushed with N2 gas. A comparable degree of weak acid uncoupling was ensured by decreasing the biomass yield to approximately 50% of the reference condition (no organic acids added) with the addition of the appropriate concentration of lactic acid to the reservoir media. Experiment Overall Design: Sampling of chemostat cultures, probe preparation and hybridization to Affymetrix GeneChip microarrays was performed as described previously (Piper et al., 2002), but with the following modifications. Double-stranded cDNA synthesis was carried out using 15 Î¼g of total RNA and the components of the One Cycle cDNA Synthesis Kit (Affymetrix). The double-stranded cDNA was purified (Genechip Sample Cleanup Module, Qiagen) before in vitro transcription and labeling (GeneChip IVT Labeling Kit, Affymetrix). Finally, labeled cRNA was purified (GeneChip Sample Cleanup Module) prior to fragmentation and hybridization of 15 Î¼g of biotinylated cRNA. Experiment Overall Design: Data acquisition was performed using the Affymetrix scanner 3000, quantification of array images and data filtering were performed with the Affymetrix software packages Microarray Suite v5.0, MicroDB v3.0 and Data Mining Tool v3.0.

Project description:Purpose: To characterize the processes defining the end dendritic cell (DC) phenotype, including the type of early transcriptional changes in pro-inflammatory cues towards regulatory or type 2 immune-based cues induced by a variety of exogenous and endogenous molecules. Methods: Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from buffy coats from human donors using Ficoll-Paque gradient centrifugation. CD14+ monocytes were isolated from PBMCs by magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) and cultured in complete medium consisting of RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 50 µM 2-Mercaptoethanol, 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin at 37°C and 5% CO2. During the differentiation stage, complete medium was added 150 U/mL recombinant human IL-4 and 160 U/mL recombinant human GM-CSF to obtain monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs). Medium was replaced after 3 days of culturing, and moDCs were used 6 days after the start of culture. The cells were on average >70% CD1a-positive, and with <3% CD14+CD16+ cells, based on flow cytometry, and responded with high levels of IL-12p70 production upon stimulation with LPS and IFN-y (mean IL-12p70 production of 4641.8 pg/mL; SD = 688.1 pg/mL). Cells were harvested and rested for 1 hour at 37°C and 5% CO2 before stimulation. At this point, moDCs were supplemented with complete medium containing TSLP (to final concentration of 25 ng/mL), IL-25 (25 ng/mL), TSLP+IL-25 (both 25 ng/mL), helminth PCF (100 μg dry matter/mL, tested in different doses in pre-study experiments), butyrate (2 mM), or succinate (0.5 mM and 2 mM, di-sodium succinate hexahydrate). Unstimulated cells were supplemented with complete medium alone. Immediately afterwards, medium containing Escherichia coli O26:B6 LPS (final concentration of 100 ng/mL) and IFN-γ (10 ng/mL) was added. Cells were stimulated for 4 or 20 h at 37°C, 5% CO2, and 95% humidity. Results: Our data show that helminth PCF and butyrate treatment suppress the Th1-inducing pro-inflammatory DC phenotype through induction of different transcriptional programs in DCs. RNA sequencing indicated that helminth PCF treatment strongly inhibited the Th1 and Th17 polarizing ability of LPS+IFN-γ-matured DCs by downregulating myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88)-dependent and MyD88-independent pathways in TLR4 signaling. By contrast, butyrate treatment had a strong Th1-inhibiting action, while transcripts encoding important gut barrier defending factors such as IL18, IL1B and CXCL8 were upregulated. Conclusion: Collectively, our results further our understanding of how compounds from parasites and gut microbiota-derived butyrate may exert immunomodulatory effects on the host immune system.

Project description:The industrially important fungus Aspergillus niger feeds naturally on decomposing plant material, for which it is equipped with a range of enzyme systems. A significant proportion of plant material are lipids that might be available either as for energy storage or as membrane building blocks. With 63 potential lipase-encoding genes in its genome, A. niger has the tools to degrade these extracellular lipids. In contrast to polysaccharide-degrading enzyme networks not much is known about the signalling and regulatory processes that control lipase expression and activity in fungi both under laboratory and natural occurring conditions. A pulse of 1 mM of various oils was applied to four bioreactor-grown A. niger cultures to examine (i) whether A. niger responds at the level of gene transcription, (ii) at what time point this effect is detected most accurately, and (iii) whether differences between the response towards oils are observed. The triglyceride olive oil induces genes encoding peroxins and enzymes of fatty acid metabolism. A complex oil mixture extracted from wheat gluten, which is enriched for digalactosyl-diglycerides, induces genes encoding peroxins as well as enzymes of fatty acid metabolism, but with different expression profile when compared to olive oil. Pure digalactosyldiglyceride, a proxy for plant membrane lipids, does not trigger a transcriptional response. Keywords: time course; induction experiment In one week, 4 fermentor cultures were run in 2.2-liter batch fermentors in which A. niger was grown on 100 mM sorbitol. At 14 hours after oxygen supply had switched from headspace to sparger-inlet each fermentor was induced with 22 mL medium which contained 100 mM (final concentration in fermentor: 1 mM) of either olive oil, a complex oil mixture extracted from wheat gluten, pure wheat digalactosyldiglycerides, or was induced with a solution of minimal medium containing only 0.2% (in fermentor, final concentration 0.002%) triton X-100 which served as emulsifier agent. For each fermentor vessel, a sample of 10 mL was taken prior to induction (T=0), or 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours after induction. Every sample was hybridized onto a single microarray, yielding in total 16 DNA microarrays.
