Project description:Background and Objectives:Acetic acid bacteria (AAB) are one of the major interests of researchers. Traditional vinegars are suitable sources of AAB because they are not undergone industrial process like filtering and adding preservatives. Komagataeibacter xylinus as a member of AAB is known as the main cellulose producer among other bacteria. The purpose of the current study was to isolate the bacteria from traditional vinegars and its molecular analyses. Materials and Methods:Vinegar samples were collected. Well-organized bacteriological tests were carried out to differentiate isolated bacteria from other cellulose producers and to identify K. xylinus. NaOH treatment and Calcofluor white staining were used for detecting cellulose. Chromosomal DNA of each strain was extracted via three methods of boiling, phenol-chloroform and sonication. Molecular analyses were performed on the basis of 16S rRNA sequences and cellulose synthase catalytic subunit gene (bcsA) for further confirmation. Phylogenetic tree was constructed for more characterization. Two housekeeping genes were studied including phenylalanyl-tRNA synthase alpha subunit (pheS) and RNA polymerase alpha subunit (rpoA). Results:Of the 97 samples, 43 K. xylinus strains were isolated. They were identified via bacteriological and molecular techniques. 16S rDNA sequence showed 99% similarity with registered sequences of the bacteria. Biodiversity of the genome confirmed by analyzing bcsA, pheS and rpoA genes. Conclusion:K. xylinus can be isolated from traditional vinegars. Screening tests ought to include the classical methods and molecular techniques. Different molecular techniques and more genomic research should be developed to expand our knowledge for distinguishing isolated bacteria especially in the fields of AAB.

Project description:Ethanol exerts a strong positive effect on the cellulose yields from the widely exploited microbial producers of the Komagataeibacter genus. Ethanol is postulated to provide an alternative energy source, enabling effective use of glucose for cellulose biosynthesis rather than for energy acquisition. In this paper, we investigate the effect of ethanol supplementation on the global gene expression profile of Komagataeibacter xylinus E25 using RNA sequencing technology (RNA-seq). We demonstrate that when ethanol is present in the culture medium, glucose metabolism is directed towards cellulose production due to the induction of genes related to UDP-glucose formation and the repression of genes involved in glycolysis and acetan biosynthesis. Transcriptional changes in the pathways of cellulose biosynthesis and c-di-GMP metabolism are also described. The transcript level profiles suggest that Schramm-Hestrin medium supplemented with ethanol promotes bacterial growth by inducing protein biosynthesis and iron uptake. We observed downregulation of genes encoding transposases of the IS110 family which may provide one line of evidence explaining the positive effect of ethanol supplementation on the genotypic stability of K. xylinus E25. The results of this study increase knowledge and understanding of the regulatory effects imposed by ethanol on cellulose biosynthesis, providing new opportunities for directed strain improvement, scaled-up bionanocellulose production, and wider industrial exploitation of the Komagataeibacter species as bacterial cellulose producers.

Project description:Bacterial cellulose is a natural polymer with an expanding array of applications. Because of this, the main cellulose producers of the Komagataeibacter genus have been extensively studied with the aim to increase its synthesis or to customize its physicochemical features. Up to now, the genetic studies in Komagataeibacter have focused on the first cellulose synthase operon (bcsI) encoding the main enzyme complex. However, the role of other accessory cellulose operons has been understudied. Here we aimed to fill this gap by performing a detailed analysis of the second cellulose synthase operon (bcsII), which is putatively linked with cellulose acylation. In this study we harnessed the genome sequence, gene expression and protein structure information of K. xylinus E25 and other Komagataeibacter species to discuss the probable features of bcsII and the biochemical function of its main protein products. The results of our study support the previous hypothesis that bcsII is involved in the synthesis of the acylated polymer and expand it by presenting the evidence that it may also function in the regulation of its attachment to the cell surface and to the crystalline cellulose fibers.

Project description:Promoting general health in terms of obesity and diabetes prevention is recommended by health care systems. The objectives of this study were to isolate an efficient glucose-converting Komagataeibacter xylinus to cellulose and to evaluate the safety of the selected strain as a new generation of probiotics in the fight against obesity. Of the 97 samples, 43 K xylinus strains were isolated and evaluated for their glucose conversion rate and 5 strains were examined for probiotic activities by in vitro assays. A strain with significant performance was fed to rats in order to determine its safety status in vivo. The results revealed that the strain K.X.1 had high level of glucose conversion rate and significant survival rate in acidic pH and bile salt. No adverse clinical signs and bacterial translocation to rats' organs were observed. The results showed that the strain of K. xylinus K.X.1 has suitable probiotic properties.

Project description:The Castile blackberry (Rubus glaucus Benth) is an Andean crop with nutritional and antioxidant properties. The intake of this fruit potentiates the immune system and reduces the risk of developing degenerative and cardiovascular diseases. However, the Castile blackberry is one of the most perishable fruits due to its high respiration rate and the lack of protectant peel, making this fruit susceptible to microbial attack and rapid deterioration. The objective of this research was to estimate the shelf life of Castile blackberry (R. glaucus Benth) with bacterial cellulose coating from Komagataeibacter xylinus, in order to improve the physicochemical and nutritional characteristics. Blackberries with bacterial cellulose coating at 4°C have extended its shelf life to 9 days and preserved the initial characteristics of texture, color, smell, and taste.

Project description:The aim of this study was to demonstrate the applicability of a novel magnetically assisted external-loop airlift bioreactor (EL-ALB), equipped with rotating magnetic field (RMF) generators for the preparation of Komagataeibacterxylinus inoculum during three-cycle repeated fed-batch cultures, further used for bacterial cellulose (BC) production. The fermentation carried out in the RMF-assisted EL-ALB allowed to obtain an inoculum of more than 200× higher cellular density compared to classical methods of inoculum preparation. The inoculum obtained in the RMF-assisted EL-ALB was characterized by a high and stable metabolic activity during repeated batch fermentation process. The application of the RMF-assisted EL-ALB for K. xylinus inoculum production did not induce the formation of cellulose-deficient mutants. It was also confirmed that the ability of K. xylinus to produce BC was at the same level (7.26 g/L of dry mass), regardless of inoculum age. Additionally, the BC obtained from the inoculum produced in the RMF-assisted EL-ALB was characterized by reproducible water-related properties, mechanical strength, nano-fibrillar structure and total crystallinity index. The lack of any negative impact of inoculum preparation method using RMF-assisted EL-ALB on BC properties is of paramount value for its future applications, including use as a biomaterial in tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery, where especially BC liquid capacity, nanostructure, crystallinity, and mechanical properties play essential roles.

Project description:Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus is an extremely thermophilic, Gram-positive anaerobe, which ferments cellulose-, hemicellulose- and pectin-containing biomass to acetate, CO2 and hydrogen. Its broad substrate range, high hydrogen-producing capacity, and ability to co-utilize glucose and xylose, make this bacterium an attractive candidate for microbial bioenergy production. Glycolytic pathways and an ABC-type sugar transporter were significantly up-regulated during growth on glucose and xylose, indicating that C. saccharolyticus co-ferments these sugars unimpeded by glucose-based catabolite repression. The capacity to simultaneously process and utilize a range of carbohydrates associated with biomass feedstocks represents a highly desirable feature of a lignocellulose-utilizing, biofuel-producing bacterium.
