Genetics of carbon metabolism in methylotrophic bacteria.
The application of genetic techniques to the methylotrophic bacteria has greatly enhanced studies of these important organisms. Two methylotrophic systems have been studied in some detail, the serine cycle for formaldehyde assimilation and the methanol oxidation system. In both cases, genes have been cloned and mapped in Methylobacterium species (facultative serine cycle methanol-utilizers). In...
متن کاملComparison of biochemical properties of recombinant endoglucanase II of Trichoderma reesei in methylotrophic yeasts, Pichia pastoris and Hansenula polymorpha
Bioconversion of cellulosic material into bioethanol needs cellulase complex enzymesthat contain endoglucanase, exoglucanase and beta glucosidase. One of the most important organisms that produce cellulases is the filamentous fungi, Trichoderma reesei which able to secrete large amounts of different cellulases. These enzymes are probably the most widely used cellulases industrially, however, th...
متن کاملThe significance of peroxisomes in methanol metabolism in methylotrophic yeast.
The capacity to use methanol as sole source of carbon and energy is restricted to relatively few yeast species. This may be related to the low efficiency of methanol metabolism in yeast, relative to that of prokaryotes. This contribution describes the details of methanol metabolism in yeast and focuses on the significance of compartmentalization of this metabolic pathway in peroxisomes.
متن کاملAquaporins and glycerol metabolism.
The discovery of aquaporin (AQP) has made a great impact on life sciences. AQPs are a family of homologous water channels widely distributed in plants, unicellular organisms, invertebrates, and vertebrates. So far, 13 AQPs have been identified in human. AQP3, 7, 9, and 10 are subcategorized as aquaglyceroporins which permeabilize glycerol as well as water. Many investigators have demonstrated t...
متن کاملProduction of D-mannitol and glycerol by yeasts.
D-Mannitol has not so far been known as a major product of sugar metabolism by yeasts. Three yeast strains, a newly isolated yeast from soy-sauce mash, Torulopsis versatilis, and T. anomala, were found to be good mannitol producers. Under optimal conditions, the isolate produced mannitol at good yield of 30% of the sugar consumed. Glucose, fructose, mannose, galactose, maltose, glycerol, and xy...
