A Preliminary Study on the Newly Isolated High Laccase-producing Fungi: Screening, Strain Characteristics and Induction of Laccase Production.

ABSTRACT: A simple separation method was used in this study to directly separate laccase-producing fungi from withered plant materials. A laccase-producing filamentous fungus was isolated and purified. The strain was highly similar to the species in genus Trametes by ITS sequence analysis, and therefore named Trametes sp. MA-X01. The addition of cupric ions and aromatic compounds to the liquid medium could induce the laccase synthesis in Trametes sp. MA-X01. Copper-induced laccase activity increased in a dose-dependent manner. The highest laccase activity (2138.9 ± 340.2 U/L) was obtained by adding 2.5 mM Cu²⁺ to the culture medium, which was about 7 times higher than that of the control group. The induction degree of aromatic compounds was different. For the present study, the highest laccase activities were obtained by adding vanillic acid (1007.9±59.5 U/L) or vanillin (981.6±77.2 U/L) to the medium, which were 3.5 and 3.4 times higher than the laccase activity of the control group, respectively.

Project description:Crude glycerol is largely generated as the main by-product of the biodiesel industry and is unprofitable for industrial application without costly purification. The direct bioconversion of crude glycerol into 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) by microorganisms is a promising alternative for effective and economic utilization. In this study, Klebsiella pneumoniae 2e was newly isolated for the conversion of crude glycerol into 1,3-PDO. Batch fermentation analysis confirmed that crude glycerol and its main impurities had slight impacts on the growth, key enzyme activity, and 1,3-PDO production of K. pneumoniae 2e. The 1,3-PDO yield from crude glycerol by K. pneumoniae 2e reached 0.64 mol 1,3-PDO/mol glycerol, which was higher than that by most reported 1,3-PDO-producing Klebsiella strains. Genomic profiling revealed that K. pneumoniae 2e possesses 30 genes involved in glycerol anaerobic metabolism and 1,3-PDO biosynthesis. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of these genes showed that the majority of the genes encoding the key enzymes for glycerol metabolism and 1,3-PDO biosynthesis were significantly upregulated during culture in crude glycerol relative to that in pure glycerol. Further comparative genomic analysis revealed a novel glycerol uptake facilitator protein in K. pneumoniae 2e and a higher number of stress response proteins than in other Klebsiella strains. This work confirms the adaptability of a newly isolated 1,3-PDO-producing strain, K. pneumoniae 2e, to crude glycerol and provides insights into the molecular mechanisms involved in its crude glycerol tolerance, which is valuable for industrial 1,3-PDO production from crude glycerol.IMPORTANCE The rapid development of the biodiesel industry has led to tremendous crude glycerol generation. Due to the presence of complex impurities, crude glycerol has low value for industry without costly purification. Obtaining novel microorganisms capable of direct and efficient bioconversion of crude glycerol to value-added products has great economic potential for industrial application. In this work, we characterized a newly isolated strain, Klebsiella pneumoniae 2e, with the capacity to efficiently produce 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) from crude glycerol and demonstrated its adaptation to crude glycerol. Our work provides insights into the molecular mechanisms of K. pneumoniae 2e adaptation to crude glycerol and the expression patterns of its genes involved in 1,3-PDO biosynthesis, which will contribute to the development of industrial 1,3-PDO production from crude glycerol.
