Abstract
Feruloyl esterases (FAEs) are a crucial component of the hemicellulose-degrading enzyme family that facilitates the degradation of lignocellulose while releasing hydroxycinnamic acids such as ferulic acid with high added value. Currently, the low enzyme yield of FAEs is one of the primary factors limiting its application. Therefore, in this paper, we optimized the fermentation conditions for the expression of FAE BpFaeT132C-D143C with excellent thermal stability in Escherichia coli by experimental design. Firstly, we explored the effects of 11 factors such as medium type, isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) concentration, and inoculum size on BpFaeT132C-D143C activity separately by the single factor design. Then, the significance of the effects of seven factors, such as post-induction temperature, shaker rotational speed, and inoculum size on BpFaeT132C-D143C activity, was analyzed by Plackett-Burman design. We identified the main factors affecting the fermentation conditions of E. coli expressing BpFaeT132C-D143C as post-induction temperature, pre-induction period, and post-induction period. Finally, we used the steepest ascent path design and response surface method to optimize the levels of these three factors further. Under the optimal conditions, the activity of BpFaeT132C-D143C was 3.58 U/ml, which was a significant 6.6-fold increase compared to the pre-optimization (0.47 U/ml), demonstrating the effectiveness of this optimization process. Moreover, BpFaeT132C-D143C activity was 1.52 U/ml in a 3-l fermenter under the abovementioned optimal conditions. It was determined that the expression of BpFaeT132C-D143C in E. coli was predominantly intracellular in the cytoplasm. This study lays the foundation for further research on BpFaeT132C-D143C in degrading agricultural waste transformation applications.

Zhang K, Lv H, Yu X, Zhu X, Chen S, Wu J. Enhancing High-Level Food-Grade Expression of Glutamate Decarboxylase and Its Application in the Production of γ-Aminobutyric Acid. J Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 35:e2410013. [PMID: 39849933 PMCID: PMC11813360 DOI: 10.4014/jmb.2410.10013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2024] [Revised: 11/11/2024] [Accepted: 11/25/2024] [Indexed: 01/25/2025]
Abstract
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a non-proteinogenic amino acid, exhibits diverse physiological functions and finds extensive applications in food, medicine, and various industries. Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) can effectively convert L-glutamic acid (L-Glu) or monosodium glutamate (MSG) into GABA. However, the low food-grade expression of GAD has hindered large-scale GABA production. In this study, we aimed to elevate GAD expression in Bacillus subtilis through cofactor synthesis enhancement, CRISPRi-based host strain modification, and fermentation optimization. In a 3-L fermenter, the optimized strain achieved a remarkable GAD activity of 319.62 U/ml without antibiotic selection pressure, representing the highest reported food-grade expression to date. Subsequently, enzymatic property analysis facilitated the optimization of GABA production using MSG and L-Glu as substrates, achieving 100% molar conversion yields of 274.40 g/l and 481.62 g/l, respectively, with the latter yielding an unprecedented productivity of 48.16 g/l/h. Finally, in vitro fermentation demonstrated that GABA supplementation promoted gut microbial growth and increased the relative abundance of Actinobacteriota and Bacteroidota.

[PMID: 39698188 PMCID: PMC11652157 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2024.1499940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2024] [Accepted: 11/20/2024] [Indexed: 12/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori) infection represents a significant global health concern, exacerbated by the emergence of drug-resistant strains resulting from conventional antibiotic treatments. Consequently, the development of vaccines with both preventive and therapeutic properties has become crucial in addressing H. pylori infections. The H. pylori adhesin protein HpaA has demonstrated strong immunogenicity across various adjuvants and dosage forms, positioning it as a key candidate antigen for recombinant subunit vaccines against H. pylori. Optimizing fermentation culture conditions is an effective strategy to enhance product yield and lower production costs. However, to date, there has been no systematic investigation into methods for improving the fermentation yield of HpaA. Enhancing the fermentation medium to increase HpaA yield holds significant potential for application and economic benefits in the prevention and detection of H. pylori infection. Methods To achieve a stable and high-yielding H. pylori vaccine antigen HpaA, this study constructed recombinant Escherichia coli expressing HpaA. The impact of fermentation medium components on the rHpaA yield was assessed using a one-factor-at-a-time approach alongside Plackett-Burman factorial experiments. Optimal conditions were effectively identified through response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) statistical computational models. The antigenicity and immunogenicity of the purified rHpaA were validated through immunization of mice, followed by Western Blot analysis and serum IgG ELISA quantification. Results Glucose, yeast extract, yeast peptone, NH4Cl and CaCl2 all contributed to the production of rHpaA, with glucose, yeast extract, and NH4Cl demonstrating particularly significant effects. The artificial neural network linked genetic algorithm (ANN-GA) model exhibited superior predictive accuracy, achieving a rHpaA yield of 0.61 g/L, which represents a 93.2% increase compared to the initial medium. Animal immunization experiments confirmed that rHpaA possesses good antigenicity and immunogenicity. Discussion This study pioneers the statistical optimization of culture media to enhance rHpaA production, thereby supporting its large-scale application in H. pylori vaccines. Additionally, it highlights the advantages of the ANN-GA approach in bioprocess optimization.

Abstract
Biosynthesis of the functional factor γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in bacteria involves two key proteins an intracellular glutamate decarboxylase (GadB) and a membrane-bound antiporter (GadC). Efficient co-expression of suitable GadB and GadC candidates is crucial for improving GABA productivity. In this study, gadB ΔC11 of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and gadC ΔC41 of Escherichia coli were inserted into the designed double promoter (P T7lac and P BAD ) expression system. Then, E. coli Lemo21(DE3) was chosen as the host to minimize the toxic effects of GadCΔC41 overexpression. Furthermore, a green and high-efficiency GABA synthesis system using dormant engineered Lemo21(DE3) cells as biocatalysts was developed. The total GABA yield reached 829.08 g/L with a 98.7% conversion ratio within 13 h, when engineered E. coli Lemo21(DE3) cells were concentrated to an OD600 of 20 and reused for three cycles in a 3 M L-glutamate solution at 37 °C, which represented the highest GABA productivity ever reported. Overall, expanding the active pH ranges of GadB and GadC toward physiological pH and employing a tunable expression host for membrane-bound GadC production is a promising strategy for high-level GABA biosynthesis in E. coli.

Abstract
Human gut-originated lactic acid bacteria were cultivated, and high γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-producing Lactococcus garvieae MJF010 was identified. To date, despite the importance of GABA, no studies have investigated GABA-producing Lactococcus species, except for Lc. lactis. A recombinant glutamate decarboxylase of the strain MJF010 (rLgGad) was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) with a size of 53.9 kDa. rLgGad could produce GABA, which was verified using the silylation-derivative fragment ions of GABA. The purified rLgGad showed the highest GABA-producing activity at 35 °C and pH 5. rLgGad showed a melting temperature of 43.84 °C. At 30 °C, more than 80% of the activity was maintained even after 7 h; however, it rapidly decreased at 50 °C. The kinetic parameters, Km, Vmax, and kcat, of rLgGad were 2.94 mM, 0.023 mM/min, and 12.3 min- 1, respectively. The metal reagents of CaCl2, MgCl2, and ZnCl2 significantly had positive effects on rLgGad activity. However, most coenzymes including pyridoxal 5'-phosphate showed no significant effects on enzyme activity. In conclusion, this is the first report of Gad from Lc. garvieae species and provides important enzymatic information related to GABA biosynthesis in the Lactococcus genus.

Abstract
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an important non-protein amino acid with wide-ranging applications. Currently, GABA can be produced by a variety of methods, including chemical synthesis, plant enrichment, enzymatic methods, and microbial production. Among these methods, microbial production has gained increasing attention to meet the strict requirements of an additive in the fields of food, pharmaceutical, and livestock. In addition, renewable and abundant resources, such as glucose and lignocellulosic biomass can also be used for GABA microbial production under mild and environmentally friendly processing conditions. In this review, the applications, metabolic pathways and physiological functions of GABA in different microorganisms were firstly discussed. A comprehensive overview of the current status of process engineering strategies for enhanced GABA production, including fermentation optimization and whole-cell conversion from different feedstocks by various host strains is also provided. We also presented the state-of-the-art achievements in strain development strategies for industrial lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Corynebacterium glutamicum and Escherichia coli to enhance the performance of GABA bioproduction. In order to use bio-based GABA in the fields of food and pharmaceutical, some Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) strains such as LAB and C. glutamicum will be the promising chassis hosts. Toward the end of this review, current challenges and valuable research directions/strategies on the improvements of process and strain engineering for economic microbial production of GABA are also suggested.

Abstract
In the present study, we isolated and screened thirty strains of GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid)-producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from traditional Indonesian fermented foods. Two strains were able to convert monosodium glutamate (MSG) to GABA after 24 h of cultivation at 37 °C based on thin layer chromatography (TLC) screening. Proteomic identification and 16S rDNA sequencing using MALDI-TOF MS identified the strain as Lactobacillus plantarum designated as L. plantarum FNCC 260 and FNCC 343. The highest yield of GABA production obtained from the fermentation of L. plantarum FNCC 260 was 809.2 mg/L of culture medium after 60 h of cultivation. The supplementation of 0.6 mM pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP) and 0.1 mM pyridoxine led to the increase in GABA production to 945.3 mg/L and 969.5 mg/L, respectively. The highest GABA production of 1226.5 mg/L of the culture medium was obtained with 100 mM initial concentration of MSG added in the cultivation medium. The open reading frame (ORF) of 1410 bp of the gadB gene from L. plantarum FNCC 260 encodes 469 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 53.57 kDa. The production of GABA via enzymatic conversion of monosodium glutamate (MSG) using purified recombinant glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) from L. plantarum FNCC 260 expressed in Escherichia coli was found to be more efficient (5-fold higher within 6 h) than the production obtained from fermentation. L. plantarum FNCC 260 could be of interest for the synthesis of GABA.

Abstract
Maltooligosyl trehalose trehalohydrolase (MTHase, EC 3.2.1.141) catalyzes the release of trehalose, a novel food ingredient, by splitting the α-1,4-glucosidic linkage adjacent to the α-1,1-glucosidic linkage of maltooligosyl trehalose. However, the high-yield preparation of recombinant MTHase has not yet been reported. In this study, a codon-optimized synthetic gene encoding Sulfolobus acidocaldarius MTHase was expressed in Escherichia coli. In initial expression experiments conducted using pET-24a (+) and E. coli BL21 (DE3), the MTHase activity was 10.4 U/mL and a large amount of the expression product formed inclusion bodies. The familiar strategies, including addition of additives, co-expression with molecular chaperones, and expression with a fusion partner, failed to enhance soluble MTHase expression. Considering the intermolecular disulfide bond of MTHase, expression was investigated using a system comprising plasmid pET-32a (+) and host E. coli Origami (DE3), which is conducive to cytoplasmic disulfide bond formation. The MTHase activity increased to 55.0 U/mL, a 5.3-fold increase. Optimization of the induction conditions in a 3-L fermentor showed that when the lactose was fed at 0.2 g/L/h beginning at an OD600 of 40 and the induction temperature was maintained at 30 °C, the MTHase activity reached a maximum of 204.6 U/mL. This is the first report describing a systematic effort to obtain high-efficiency MTHase production. The high yield obtained using this process provides the basis for the industrial-scale production of trehalose. This report is also expected to be valuable in the production of other enzymes containing disulfide bonds.

Abstract
Human nerve growth factor β (β-NGF) is considered a major therapeutic agent for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. We have previously reported the optimized conditions for β-NGF overproduction in Escherichia coli in a shake-flask culture. In this study the optimal %DO (dissolved oxygen) and post induction temperature values for improved production of β-NGF were found in the bioreactor scale using response surface methodology (RSM) as the most common statistical method. Also, for further enhancement of the yield, different post-induction periods of time were selected for testing. In all experiments, the productivity level and bacterial cell growth were evaluated by western blotting technique and monitoring of absorbance at 600 nm, respectively. Our results indicated that %DO, the post-induction time and temperature have significant effects on the production of β-NGF. After 2 hours of induction, the low post induction temperature of 32°C and 20% DO were used to increase the production of β-NGF in a 5-l bioreactor. Another important result obtained in this study was that the improved β-NGF production was not achieved at highest dry cell weigh or highest cell growth. These results are definitely of importance for industrial β-NGF production.

Abstract
A multimodular hyperthermophilic β‑glucuronidase (TpGUS) from Thermotoga petrophila RKU-1T, belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 2 (GH2), was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 CodonPlus (DE3)-RIPL. Expression and production of extracellular TpGUS was enhanced through various specific cultivation and induction strategies. Extracellular TpGUS activity was improved by 3.44 and 7 fold in 4 × ZB medium induced with 0.5 mM IPTG and 100 mM lactose, respectively. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity with a single band of 65.6 kDa on SDS-PAGE, using two subsequent steps of anion exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography after heat precipitation (70 °C, 1 h). Optimal activity of TpGUS was observed at 95 °C and pH 6.0; and it displayed prodigious thermal stability over a temperature range of 50-85 °C for 12 h at pH 6.0-7.5. Km, Vmax, VmaxKm-1, kcat, and kcatKm-1 were calculated to be 0.7 mM, 227 mmol mg-1 min-1, 324.3 min-1, 164,492.7 s-1 and 234,989.6 mM-1 s-1, respectively using pNPGU as a substrate. Recombinant TpGUS exhibited favorable properties which make this a promising candidate for various biotechnological and pharmacological applications.

[PMID: 29159147 PMCID: PMC5684511 DOI: 10.15171/bi.2017.23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2017] [Revised: 07/31/2017] [Accepted: 08/15/2017] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
Introduction: Single chain variable fragment (scFv) antibodies are reduced forms of the whole antibodies that could be regarded as an alternative tool for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The optimization of processes and environmental conditions is necessary to increase the production yields and enhance the productivity. This can result in a cost-effective process and respond to the high demand for these antibodies. Methods: In this research, physical and chemical factors influencing the batch fermentation was investigated in 50 mL batch tubes using minimum media to find the optimum conditions for production of a single chain variable fragment antibody in the Escherichia coli HB2151. Experimental designs were used to screen the effective parameters and to optimize the main factors. Results: Arabinose was used instead of IPTG as a cheaper and nontoxic inducer and its optimum concentration was determined 0.1% (w/w). Induction duration time and filling volume fraction were set on the relatively better states 24 hours and 1/10 respectively. Regarding our previous study, stationary phase of the cell growth was selected as induction start time that showed higher specific scFv production yields (YP/X) in the minimum media. Finally, a statistical experimental design was extended to a central composite design (CCD) and analysis was performed based on sucrose and sorbitol concentrations producing osmotic condition for induction. The optimum region in the contour plot for the periplasmic scFv production was an osmotic circle area with total sugar molarity 0.8 to 0.9. Conclusion: Sugars such as sucrose and sorbitol producing osmotic conditions could lead to periplasmic scFv concentrations up to 2.85 mg/L of culture media improving scFv concentration near to five times of the average of the screening step (0.59 mg/L).

Abstract
The coupling of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii biomass production for nutrients removal of Escherichia coli anaerobic broth (EAB) is thought to be an economically feasible option for the cultivation of microalgae. The feasibility of growing microalgae in using EAB high in nutrients for the production of more biomass was examined. EAB comprised of nutrient-abundant effluents, which can be used to produce microalgae biomass and remove environment pollutant simultaneously. In this study, C. reinhardtii 21gr (cc1690) was cultivated in different diluted E. coli anaerobic broth supplemented with trace elements under mixotrophic and heterotrophic conditions. The results showed that C. reinhardtii grown in 1×, 1/2×, 1/5× and 1/10×E. coli anaerobic broth under mixotrophic conditions exhibited specific growth rates of 2.71, 2.68, 1.45, and 1.13 day-1, and biomass production of 201.9, 184.2, 175.5, and 163.8 mg L-1, respectively. Under heterotrophic conditions, the specific growth rates were 1.80, 1.86, 1.75, and 1.02 day-1, and biomass production were 45.6, 29.4, 15.8, and 12.1 mg L-1, respectively. The removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand, total-nitrogen and total-phosphorus from 1×E. coli anaerobic broth was 21.51, 22.41, and 15.53%. Moreover, the dry biomass had relatively high carbohydrate (44.3%) and lipid content (18.7%). Therefore, this study provides an environmentally sustainable as well economical method for biomass production in promising model microalgae and subsequently paves the way for industrial use.

Abstract
Commonly, unintentional induction and inadvertently preparing medium for engineered Escherichia coli BL21 CodonPlus (DE3)-RIPL, give poor or variable yields of heterologous proteins. Therefore, to enhance the activity and production of an industrially relevant recombinant processive endo-1,4-β-glucanase (CenC) propagated in Escherichia coli BL21 CodonPlus(DE3)-RIPL through various cultivation and induction strategies. Investigation of various growth media and induction parameters revealed that high-cell-density and optimal CenC expression were obtained in ZYBM9 medium induced either with 0.5 mM IPTG/150 mM lactose, after 6 h induction at 37 °C; and before induction, bacterial cells were given heat shock (42 °C) for 1 h when culture density (OD600nm) reached at 0.6. Intracellular enzyme activity was enhanced by 6.67 and 3.20-fold in ZYBM9 and 3×ZYBM9 medium, respectively, under optimal conditions. Using YNG auto-induction medium, activity was 2.5-fold increased after 10 h incubation at 37 °C. Approximately similar results were obtained by transferring the optimized process at the bioreactor level. Results showed that the effective process strategy is essential to enhance recombinant bacterial cell mass and enzyme production from small to large-scale. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first ever report on enhanced production of thermostable processive endo-1,4-β-glucanase cloned from Ruminiclostridium thermocellum, which is a suitable candidate for industrial applications.
