1.The Screening of Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH) Mutant of Rhizopus oryzae
Microbiology 1992;0(01):-
During L-lactic acid fermentation with Rhizopus oryzae,there existed a branch pathway by which pyruvate was transformed to eth- anol catalyzed by pyruvate decarboxylase(PDC)and alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH),thus decreasing the flux of pyruvate to lactic acid.In this study,the spores of Rhizopus oryzae AS3.3462 mutagenized with nitrosoguanidine(NTG),the appropriate dosage was 0.15 mg/mL and the lethal rate was 70%~80%.Two mutants,named mut-1 and mut-2,with decreased ADH activity were screened out by yeast peptone dextrose(YPD)agar medium containing allyl alcohol.These two mutants had decreased ADH activities of 41.63% and 50.29% compared with the parent strain.The fermentation behavior after 72h showed that the yields of ethanol produced by mut-1 and mut-2 were 4.87g/L and 6.56g/L respectively,while the wild type strain was 28.9g/L,and the lactate concentrations of mut-1 and mut-2 also increased from 40.31g/L to 54.45g/L and 44.07 g/L,respectively.It is also found that mut-1 and mut-2 had a high reducing sugar consumption rate and biomass accumulation than its present strain

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Integrated Chinese-western three-stage rehabilitation on activities of daily living (ADL) in stroke patients. Methods60 stroke patients were randomly divided into the trial group and control group with 30 cases in each group. Patients of control group were treated with routine neurological interventions and three-stage rehabilitation, while those of trial group were administered resuscitating acupuncture therapy, scalp and body acupuncture in addition. All the patients were assessed with modified Barthel index (MBI) at the beginning, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months respectively after stroke. ResultsThere was no significant difference in ADL between the trial and control groups at the beginning, and both improved at the following period (P<0.01). At each of the following period, either the ADL scores (P<0.05) or the increase of the ADL scores (P<0.05) of the trial group were significant higher than those of the control group. ConclusionIntegrated Chinese-western three-stage rehabilitation could improve the ADL further for the stroke patients.

A strain ph 16 , that could effectively degrade phenol,was isolated from sewer sludge of printing and dyeing plant. The preliminary identification sugg ested that the strain belongs to Micrococcus sp. The strain could resist to phenol up to 1.5 g/L. The efficient biodegradation of phenol occurred when th e strain was cultured in the medium (pH 7.0) containing 1.0 g/L phenol under 35℃, wh er e the highest degradation rate reach 99.6% after 36 hours. This strain, when t re ated with some heavy metal ions such as Hg +、Co 2+ and Ag 2+ , showe d the significant inhibition of phenol degradation by 74.2%~100%. The kinetic s of phenol degradation during culture of the strain was also explored.

The effect of inorganic phosphate on cell growth, accumulation of polysaccharides together with nutrient utilization was investigated in suspension cultures of protocorm-like bodies of Dendrobium huoshanense. Thirty-day-old cells were transferred into liquid medium with the inoculum density of 100 g/L cells. The results indicate that the optimal concentration of phosphate in medium for cell growth of protocorm-like bodies of Dendrobium huoshanense was 2.5 mmol/L and biomass was 496.5 g/L (fresh weight). Phosphate was a limited factor for cell growth and there was relationship between the levels of intracellular phosphate and cell growth. 2.5 mmol/L of medium phosphate was beneficial to the absorption of carbohydrate and nitrate source. 0.312 mmol/L of medium phosphate was better for accumulation of polysaccharides and production of polysaccharides was 2.22 g/L at 36 d.

With sodium alginate as a carrier and glutaraldehyde as the crosslinking agent, an improved immobilization method of beta-glucosidase for production of soybean genistein was developed. As compared with entrapment or entrapment-crosslinkage, crosslinkage-entrapment that beta-glucosidase was treated with glutaraldehyde and then entrapped in sodium alginate remained high loading efficiency and activity recovery, Effects of bead sizes, concentrations of alginate and glutaraldehyde as well, on the loading efficiency and activity recovery were assessed. When compared with the free enzyme, the optimum temperature, pH value and Km of the immobilized beta-glucosidase were respectively shifted from 50 degrees C to 40 degrees C, 4.5 to 4.0 and 2.57 microg/mL to 2.02 miocrog/mL. The stabilities of the immobilized beta-glucosidase were considerably better than that of the native enzyme. The immobilized beta-glucosidase was employed to genistein production, 84.94% of the activity and 56.04% of conversion were kept after consecutive use of 6 times.

The effect of outer spermine on cell growth, accumulation of polysaccharides and utilization of nutrient together with the intracellular polyamine contents were investigated in suspension cultures of protocorm-like bodies from Dendrobium huoshanense. The results indicated that spermine at 0.6 mmol/L was the most effective in increasing cell growth and polysaccharide synthesis. The specific growth rate of cell increased from 0.046d(-1) to 0.054d(-1), and the maximum dry weight and polysaccharide production reached 32.4g DW/L and 2.46g/L respectively, which were 1.32-fold and 1.31-fold that of the control on day 30. The titres of intracellular free polyamines were higher in the cultures treated with spermine than that of the control. Invertase and nitrate reductase activities were found to increase significantly in the cultured cells treated with spermine, which was beneficial to the utilization of carbon and nitrogen source.

Phosphate is an effective factor in the regulation of cell growth and accumulation of polysaccharides. The method for higher polysaccharide production has been obtained through feeding cultivation. The two-stage cultivation was proposed according to the characteristic of cell growth and the accumulation of polysaccharides in the suspension cultures of protocorm-like bodies from Dendrobium huoshanense. A kinetic model was developed to describe the cultivation process. The results indicate that the production of biomass and polysaccharides increases from 28.7g DW/L and 1.86g/L to 44.2g DW/L and 5.22g/L, respectively, and the content of polysaccharides increases from 6.4% to 11.9% . With the evaluated model parameters, the model appears to provide a description for the cultivation process.
