D-Lactic acid is a chiral, three-carbon organic acid, that bolsters the thermostability of polylactic acid. In this study, we developed a microbial production platform for the high-titer production of D-lactic acid. We screened 600 isolates of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and identified twelve strains that exclusively produced D-lactic acid in high titers. Of these strains, Lactobacillus saerimneri TBRC 5746 was selected for further development because of its homofermentative metabolism. We investigated the effects of high temperature and the use of cheap, renewable carbon sources on lactic acid production and observed a titer of 99.4 g/L and a yield of 0.90 g/g glucose (90% of the theoretical yield). However, we also observed L-lactic acid production, which reduced the product’s optical purity. We then used CRISPR/dCas9-assisted transcriptional repression to repress the two Lldh genes in the genome of L. saerimneri TBRC 5746, resulting in a 38% increase in D-lactic acid production and an improvement in optical purity. This is the first demonstration of CRISPR/dCas9-assisted transcriptional repression in this microbial host and represents progress toward efficient microbial production of D-lactic acid.

Abstract

Bacilysin, as the simplest peptide antibiotic made up of only L-alanine and L-anticapsin, is produced and excreted by Bacillus subtilis under the control of quorum sensing. We analyzed bacilysin-nonproducing strain OGU1 which was obtained by bacA-targeted pMutin T3 insertion into the parental strain genome resulting in a genomic organization (bacA􍿁::lacZ::erm::bacABCDEF) to form an IPTG-inducible bac operon. Although IPTG induction provided 3- to 5-fold increment in the transcription of bac operon genes, no bacilysin activity was detectable in bioassays and inability of the OGU1 to form bacilysin was confirmed by UPLC-mass spectrometry analysis. Phenotypic analyses revealed the deficiencies in OGU1 with respect to colony pigmentation, spore coat proteins, spore resistance and germination, which could be rescued by external addition of bacilysin concentrate into its cultures. 2DE MALDI-TOF/MS and nanoLC-MS/MS were used as complementary approaches to compare cytosolic proteomes of OGU1. 2-DE identified 159 differentially expressed proteins corresponding to 121 distinct ORFs. In nanoLCMS/ MS, 76 proteins were differentially expressed in OGU1. Quantitative transcript analyses of selected genes validated the proteomic findings. Overall, the results pointed to the impact of bacilysin on expression of certain proteins of sporulation and morphogenesis; the members of mother cell compartment- specific σE and σK regulons in particular, quorum sensing and two component-global regulatory systems, peptide transport, stress response as well as CodY- and ScoCregulated proteins.

Abstract

The subtilisin-like serine protease gene ThSS45 has been cloned from Trichoderma harzianum ACCC30371. Its coding region is 1302 bp in length, encoding 433 amino acids, with a predicted protein molecular weight of 44.9 kDa and pI of 5.91. ThSS45 was shown by RT-qPCR analysis to be differentially transcribed in response to eight different treatments. The transcription of ThSS45 was up-regulated when grown in mineral medium, under carbon starvation, and nitrogen starvation, and in the presence of 1% root powder, 1% stem powder, and 1% leaf powder derived from Populus davidiana × P. bolleana (Shanxin poplar) aseptic seedlings. The highest increase in transcription approached 3.5-fold that of the control at 6 h under induction with 1% poplar root powder. The transcription of ThSS45 was also slightly up-regulated by 1% Alternaria alternata cell wall and 5% A. alternata fermentation liquid. Moreover, the analyses of coding and promoter regions of ThSS45 homologs indicated that serine protease may be involved in both mycoparasitism and antibiotic secretion. ThSS45 was cloned into the pGEX-4T-2 vector and then expressed in Escherichia coli BL21. The recombinant protein, with an expected molecular weight of approximately 69 kDa, was then purified. When transformant BL21-ss was induced with 1 mM IPTG for 6 h, the purified protease activity reached a peak of 18.25 U/ml at pH 7.0 and 40°C. In antifungal assays the purified protease obviously inhibited the growth of A. alternata mycelia.

Abstract: Peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases, EC: 5.2.1.8), a class of enzymes that catalyse the rate-limiting step of the cis/trans isomerization in protein folding, are divided into three structurally unrelated families: cyclophilins, FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs), and parvulins. Two recombinant FKBPs from the soil nitrogenfixing bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii, designated as AvfkbX and AvfkbB, have been purified and their peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase activity against Suc-Ala-Xaa-Pro-Phe-pNA synthetic peptides characterised. The substrate specificity of both enzymes is typical for bacterial FKBPs, with Suc-Ala-Phe-Pro-Phe-pNA being the most rapidly catalysed substrate by AvfkbX and Suc-Ala-Leu-Pro-Phe-pNA by AvfkbB. Both FKBPs display chaperone activity as well in the citrate synthase thermal aggregation assay. Furthermore, using real-time RT-qPCR, we demonstrated that both genes were expressed during the exponential growth phase on glucose minimal medium, while their expression declined dramatically during the stationary growth phase as well as when the growth medium was supplied exogenously with ammonium.
