Production of Carotenoids and Phospholipids by Thraustochytrium sp. in Batch and Repeated-Batch Culture.

ABSTRACT: The carotenogenic thraustochytrid Thraustochytrium sp. RT2316-16 was grown in batch and repeated-batch cultures using different feeds containing glucose, or glycerol, and yeast extract, for the production of lipids, phospholipids and carotenoids. RT2316-16 produced canthaxanthin, astaxanthin and β-carotene. The effects of biotin, ascorbic acid, light and temperature were evaluated in some of the experiments. In 2-day-old batch cultures, the combined mass percentage of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in total lipids was between 16.5% (glycerol-based medium in the dark; biomass concentration = 4.2 ± 1.1 g L^-1) and 42.6% (glucose-based medium under light; biomass concentration = 3.3 ± 0.1 g L^-1), decreasing to 3.8% and 6.1%, respectively, after day 4. In repeated-batch cultures, the total lipids in the biomass increased after glucose or glycerol was fed alone, whereas the total carotenoids (168 ± 7 μg g^-1 dry weight (DW)) and phospholipids in the biomass increased after feeding with yeast extract. The biomass with the highest content of phospholipids (28.7 ± 4.3 mg g^-1 DW) was obtained using a feed medium formulated with glycerol, yeast extract and ascorbic acid. Glycerol was the best carbon source for the production of a biomass enriched with total lipids (467 ± 45 mg g^-1 DW). The composition of carotenoids depended strongly on the composition of the feed. Repeated-batch cultures fed with yeast extract contained canthaxanthin as the main carotenoid, whereas in the cultures fed only with glucose, the biomass contained mainly β-carotene.

Genome-Based Insights into the Production of Carotenoids by Antarctic Bacteria, Planococcus sp. ANT_H30 and Rhodococcus sp. ANT_H53B.

Project description:Antarctic regions are characterized by low temperatures and strong UV radiation. This harsh environment is inhabited by psychrophilic and psychrotolerant organisms, which have developed several adaptive features. In this study, we analyzed two Antarctic bacterial strains, Planococcus sp. ANT_H30 and Rhodococcus sp. ANT_H53B. The physiological analysis of these strains revealed their potential to produce various biotechnologically valuable secondary metabolites, including surfactants, siderophores, and orange pigments. The genomic characterization of ANT_H30 and ANT_H53B allowed the identification of genes responsible for the production of carotenoids and the in silico reconstruction of the pigment biosynthesis pathways. The complex manual annotation of the bacterial genomes revealed the metabolic potential to degrade a wide variety of compounds, including xenobiotics and waste materials. Carotenoids produced by these bacteria were analyzed chromatographically, and we proved their activity as scavengers of free radicals. The quantity of crude carotenoid extracts produced at two temperatures using various media was also determined. This was a step toward the optimization of carotenoid production by Antarctic bacteria on a larger scale.

Engineering <i>Vibrio</i> sp. SP1 for the production of carotenoids directly from brown macroalgae.

Project description:Macroalgae is regarded as a promising third-generation marine biomass that can be utilized as a sustainable feedstock for bio-industry due to the high sugar level and absence of lignin. Alginate, composed of 1,4-linked D-mannuronate (M) and L-guluronate (G), is one of the major carbohydrates in brown macroalgae. It is difficult to be assimilated by most industrial microorganisms. Therefore, developing engineered microorganisms that can utilize alginate as a feedstock in order to produce natural products from marine biomass is critical. In this study, we isolated, characterized, and sequenced Vibrio sp. SP1 which rapidly grows using alginate as a sole carbon source. We further engineered this strain by introducing genes encoding enzymes under the control of synthetic expression cassettes to produce lycopene and β-carotene which are attractive phytochemicals owing to the antioxidant property. We confirmed that the engineered Vibrio sp. SP1 could successfully produce 2.13 ± 0.37 mg L-1 of lycopene, 2.98 ± 0.43 mg L-1 of β -carotene, respectively, from 10 g L-1 of alginate as a sole carbon source. Furthermore, our engineered strain could directly convert 60 g L-1 of brown macroalgae Sargassum fusiforme into 1.23 ± 0.21 mg L-1 of lycopene without any pretreatment which had been vitally required for the previous productions. As the first demonstrated strain to produce high-value product from Sargassum, Vibrio sp. SP1 is evaluated to be a desirable platform for the brown macroalgae-based biorefinery.

High production of carotenoids by the green microalga Asterarcys quadricellulare PUMCC 5.1.1 under optimized culture conditions.

Project description:Since carotenoids are important as natural colorants, antioxidants, neutraceutics and pharmaceutics, the aim of the present study was to find a new good source of these pigments. We hereby report a green microalga Asterarcys quadricellulare PUMCC 5.1.1 as a new and good producer of carotenoids. The organism produced 35±1.75 ?g carotenoids mg-1 dry biomass during stationary phase in control cultures. The growth and carotenoids production by the test microalga were optimized by varying nutrient growth media, pH, nitrogen and phosphate source, salinity, light quality, intensity and duration. The optimized conditions for carotenoid production were: Bold basal (BB) medium with pH 8.5, containing with10 mM nitrate, 3.5 mM phosphate and 0.17 mM salinity and illuminated with blue light with 60 ?mol m-2 s-1 photon flux light intensity. Cultivation of cultures in the above mentioned optimized conditions resulted in nearly 3.0 fold increase in carotenoid production compared to the control cultures grown in unmodified BB medium. Using HPTLC, four carotenoids have been identified as ?-carotene, lutein, astaxanthin and canthaxanthin. Further, carotenoids were also separated and purified by flash chromatography and the amounts of purified carotenoids were determined by HPLC. The organism produced 47.0, 28.7, 15.5 and 14.0 ?g ?-carotene, lutein, astaxanthin and canthaxanthin mg-1 dry biomass, respectively, under optimized conditions. The amount of total carotenoids (118 ?g mg-1 dry biomass) produced by Asterarcys quadricellulare PUMCC 5.1.1 under optimized culture conditions was significantly higher than control cultures. Thus, this microalgal strain is a promising candidate for carotenoid production at commercial level.

Optimization of factors influencing exopolysaccharide production by <i>Halomonas xianhensis</i> SUR308 under batch culture.

Project description:A moderately halophilic bacterium, Halomonas xianhensis SUR308 (GenBank Accession No. KJ933394) was isolated from multi-pond solar salterns of Odisha, India. Exopolysaccharide (EPS) production by this strain in malt extract yeast extract (MY) medium has been optimized under batch culture system. Among the different media tested, MY medium showed an EPS production of 2.55 g/L, which increased to 2.85 g/L under optimized aeration. An initial pH of 7.5 and incubation temperature of 32 °C were found to be most suitable for EPS production by the isolate under aerobic condition. An EPS production of 3.85 g/L was achieved when the growth medium was supplemented with 2.5% NaCl. Glucose was the most favourable carbon source for EPS production and maximum production (5.70 g/L) was recorded with 3% glucose. However, growth as well as production of EPS was remarkably affected when the growth medium was supplemented with hydrocarbons as sole source of carbon. Among different nitrogen sources, casein hydrolysate at 0.5% level was proved to be the best for EPS production and an initial inoculum dose of 7% (v/v) enhanced the EPS production to 7.78 g/L, while the divalent metal ions were in general toxic to growth and EPS production, EPS synthesis by SUR308 was enhanced with Cr (VI) supplementation.

Segmented linear modeling of CHO fed-batch culture and its application to large scale production.

Project description:We describe a systematic approach to model CHO metabolism during biopharmaceutical production across a wide range of cell culture conditions. To this end, we applied the metabolic steady state concept. We analyzed and modeled the production rates of metabolites as a function of the specific growth rate. First, the total number of metabolic steady state phases and the location of the breakpoints were determined by recursive partitioning. For this, the smoothed derivative of the metabolic rates with respect to the growth rate were used followed by hierarchical clustering of the obtained partition. We then applied a piecewise regression to the metabolic rates with the previously determined number of phases. This allowed identifying the growth rates at which the cells underwent a metabolic shift. The resulting model with piecewise linear relationships between metabolic rates and the growth rate did well describe cellular metabolism in the fed-batch cultures. Using the model structure and parameter values from a small-scale cell culture (2 L) training dataset, it was possible to predict metabolic rates of new fed-batch cultures just using the experimental specific growth rates. Such prediction was successful both at the laboratory scale with 2 L bioreactors but also at the production scale of 2000 L. This type of modeling provides a flexible framework to set a solid foundation for metabolic flux analysis and mechanistic type of modeling. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2017;114: 785-797. © 2016 The Authors.

Biosynthetic mechanism of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in Thraustochytrium sp. 26185.

Project description:Thraustochytrium, a unicellular marine protist, has been used as a commercial source of very long chain PUFAs (VLCPUFAs) such as DHA (22:6n-3). Our recent work indicates coexistence of a ?4-desaturation-dependent pathway (aerobic) and a polyketide synthase-like PUFA synthase pathway (anaerobic) to synthesize the fatty acids in Thraustochytrium sp. 26185. Heterologous expression of the Thraustochytrium PUFA synthase along with a phosphopantetheinyl transferase in Escherichia coli showed the anaerobic pathway was highly active in the biosynthesis of VLCPUFAs. The amount of ?4 desaturated VLCPUFAs produced reached about 18% of the total fatty acids in the transformant cells at day 6 in a time course of the induced expression. In Thraustochytrium, the expression level of the PUFA synthase gene was much higher than that of the ?4 desaturase gene, and also highly correlated with the production of VLCPUFAs. On the other hand, ?9 and ?12 desaturations in the aerobic pathway were either ineffective or absent in the species, as evidenced by the genomic survey, heterologous expression of candidate genes, and in vivo feeding experiments. These results indicate that the anaerobic pathway is solely responsible for the biosynthesis for VLCPUFAs in Thraustochytrium.

Effect of Culture Conditions on Metabolite Production of Xylaria sp.

Project description:Seeking a strategy for triggering the cryptic natural product biosynthesis to yield novel compounds in the plant-associated fungus Xylaria sp., the effect of culture conditions on metabolite production was investigated. A shift in the production of five known cytochalasin-type analogues 1-5 to six new ?-pyrone derivatives, xylapyrones A-F (compounds 6-11), from a solid to a liquid medium was observed. These compounds were identified by analysis of 1D and 2D NMR and HRMS data. Compounds 1-3 showed moderate cytotoxicity against HepG2 and Caski cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 25 to 63 ?M and compounds 4-11 were found to be inactive, with IC50 values>100 ?M.

Spruce sugars and poultry hydrolysate as growth medium in repeated fed-batch fermentation processes for production of yeast biomass.

Project description:The production of microbial protein in the form of yeast grown on lignocellulosic sugars and nitrogen-rich industrial residues is an attractive approach for reducing dependency on animal and plant protein. Growth media composed of enzymatically saccharified sulfite-pulped spruce wood, enzymatic hydrolysates of poultry by-products and urea were used for the production of single-cell protein. Strains of three different yeast species, Cyberlindnera jadinii, Wickerhamomyces anomalus and Blastobotrys adeninivorans, were cultivated aerobically using repeated fed-batch fermentation up to 25 L scale. Wickerhamomyces anomalus was the most efficient yeast with yields of 0.6 g of cell dry weight and 0.3 g of protein per gram of glucose, with cell and protein productivities of 3.92 g/L/h and 1.87 g/L/h, respectively. Using the conditions developed here for producing W. anomalus, it would take 25 industrial (200 m3) continuously operated fermenters to replace 10% of the fish feed protein used in Norway.

Improved production of docosahexaenoic acid in batch fermentation by newly-isolated strains of Schizochytrium sp. and Thraustochytriidae sp. through bioprocess optimization.

Project description:Thraustochytrids, rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6?3), represent a potential source of dietary fatty acids. Yet, the effect of culture conditions on growth and fatty acid composition vary widely among different thraustochytrid strains. Two different thraustochytrid strains, Schizochytrium sp. PKU#Mn4 and Thraustochytriidae sp. PKU#Mn16 were studied for their growth and DHA production characteristics under various culture conditions. Although they exhibited similar fatty acid profiles, PKU#Mn4 seemed a good candidate for industrial DHA fermentation while PKU#Mn16 displayed growth tolerance to a wide range of process conditions. Relative DHA content of 48.5% and 49.2% (relative to total fatty acids), respectively, were achieved on glycerol under their optimal flask culture conditions. Maximum DHA yield (Yp/x) of 21.0% and 18.9% and productivity of 27.6 mg/L-h and 31.9 mg/L-h were obtained, respectively, in 5-L bioreactor fermentation operated with optimal conditions and dual oxygen control strategy. A 3.4- and 2.8-fold improvement of DHA production (g/L), respectively, was achieved in this study. Overall, our study provides the potential of two thraustochytrid strains and their culture conditions for efficient production of DHA-rich oil.
