African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the causative agent of the highly lethal African swine fever disease that affects domestic
pigs and wild boars. In spite of the rapid spread of the virus worldwide, there is no licensed vaccine available. The lack of
a suitable cell line for ASFV propagation hinders the development of a safe and effective vaccine. For ASFV propagation,
primary swine macrophages and monocytes have been widely studied. However, obtaining these cells can be time-consuming
and expensive, making them unsuitable for mass vaccine production. The goal of this study was to validate the suitability
of novel CA-CAS-01-A (CAS-01) cells, which was identified as a highly permissive cell clone for ASFV replication in the
MA-104 parental cell line for live attenuated vaccine development. Through a screening experiment, maximum ASFV replication
was observed in the CAS-01 cell compared to other sub-clones of MA-104 with 14.89 and log10
7.5 ± 0.15 Ct value
and TCID50/
ml value respectively. When CAS-01 cells are inoculated with ASFV, replication of ASFV was confirmed by Ct
value for ASFV DNA, HAD50/
ml assay, TCID50/
ml assay, and cytopathic effects and hemadsoption were observed similar
to those in primary porcine alveolar macrophages after 5th passage. Additionally, we demonstrated stable replication and
adaptation of ASFV over the serial passage. These results suggest that CAS-01 cells will be a valuable and promising cell
line for ASFV isolation, replication, and development of live attenuated vaccines.

Poly(β-L-malic acid) (PMA) is a promising polyester formed
from L-malate in microbial cells. Malate biosynthesis is crucial
for PMA production. Previous studies have shown that
the non-oxidative pathway or oxidative pathway (TCA cycle)
is the main biosynthetic pathway of malate in most of PMAproducing
strains, while the glyoxylate cycle is only a supplementary
pathway. In this study, we investigated the effect
of exogenous metabolic intermediates and inhibitors of the
malate biosynthetic pathway on PMA production by Aureobasidium
melanogenum GXZ-6. The results showed that PMA
production was stimulated by maleic acid (a fumarase inhibitor)
and sodium malonate (a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor)
but inhibited by succinic acid and fumaric acid. This
indicated that the TCA cycle might not be the only biosynthetic
pathway of malate. In addition, the PMA titer increased
by 18.1% upon the addition of glyoxylic acid after 72 h of fermentation,
but the PMA titer decreased by 7.5% when itaconic
acid (an isocitrate lyase inhibitor) was added, which indicated
that malate for PMA production was synthesized significantly
via the glyoxylate cycle rather than the TCA cycle. Furthermore,
in vitro enzyme activities of the TCA and glyoxylate
cycles suggested that the glyoxylate cycle significantly contributed
to the PMA production, which is contradictory to what
has been reported previously in other PMA-producing A.
pullulans.
