Sarkar D, Yabusaki M, Hasebe Y, Ho PY, Kohmoto S, Kaga T, Shimizu K: Fermentation and metabolic characteristics of Gluconacetobacter oboediens for different carbon sources. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol. 2010 Feb 27.
The metabolism of Gluconacetobacter oboediens was investigated in relation to different carbon sources for the continuous cultures at the dilution rate of 0.05 h (-1). The (13) C-flux result implies the formation of metabolic recycles for the case of using glucose and acetate as carbon sources. When glucose and ethanol were used as carbon sources, the specific ethanol uptake rate and the specific acetate production rate increased as the feed ethanol concentration was increased from 40 to 60 g/l, while the specific CO (2) production rate and the biomass concentration decreased, where the (13) C-metabolic flux result indicates that the glycolysis, oxidative PP pathway, and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle were less active, resulting in less biomass concentration. The flux result also implies that oxaloacetate decarboxylase flux became negative, so that oxaloacetate is backed up by this pathway, resulting in less activity of glyoxylate pathway. When gluconate was added for the case of using glucose and ethanol as carbon sources, the acetate and cell concentrations as well as gluconate concentrations increased. The glucose and ethanol concentrations decreased concomitantly with the increased feed gluconate concentration. In accordance with these fermentation characteristics, the enzyme activity result indicates that glucose dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase pathways became less active, while the glycolysis and the TCA cycle was activated as the feed gluconate concentration was increased. |
