NUTRIENT BALANCE AND METABOLIC ANALYSIS IN A Kluyveromyces marxianus FERMENTATION WITH LACTOSE-ADDED WHEY
نویسندگان
چکیده
Addition of lactose on whey to produce an alcoholic product by fermentation is optimized in order to maximise final ethanol concentrations and lactose consumption. The effect of the supplementation of the broth with yeast extract, ammonium sulphate, oxygen, protein, peptides and the vitamins nicotinic acid, biotin, pantothenic acid and inositol on aerobic cell growth was also studied. The Crabtree-negative yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus is employed in this study, so oxygen should enhance cell growth and reduce ethanol production. Addition of yeast extract, a source of vitamins, shifts metabolism towards fermentation. The same effect is observed when nicotinic acid and biotin are added to the medium. Individual and mixed effects of the four assayed vitamins are studied, showing that combinations of two or more vitamins diminished cell growth and lactose consumption and increased ethanol production.

Data for rapid ethanol production at elevated temperatures by engineered thermotolerant Kluyveromyces marxianus via the NADP(H)-preferring xylose reductase–xylitol dehydrogenase pathway
Conversion of xylose to ethanol by yeasts is a challenge because of the redox imbalances under oxygen-limited conditions. The thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus grows well with xylose as a carbon source at elevated temperatures, but its xylose fermentation ability is weak. In this study, a combination of the NADPH-preferring xylose reductase (XR) from Neurospora crassa and the NADP(+)...

We investigated the transcriptomic response of a new strain of the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus, in glucose and xylose media using RNA-seq. The data were explored in a number of innovative ways using a variety of networks types, pathway maps, enrichment statistics, reporter metabolites and a flux simulation model, revealing different aspects of the genome-scale response in an integrative syste...

The cofactor balances in metabolism is of paramount importance in the design of a metabolic engineering strategy and understanding the regulation of metabolism in general. ATP, NAD+ and NADP+ balances are central players linking the various fluxes in central metabolism as well as biomass formation. NADP+ is especially important in the metabolic engineering of yeasts for xylose fermentation, sin...

Flux balance analysis (FBA) determines theoretical capabilities of metabolic networks using only stoichiometry and fundamental physiochemical capacity constraints. Metabolic networks reconstructed from annotated genome and literature. Capacity constraints include maximum uptake rates of oxygen and substrates such as glucose, acetate, and lactose. FBA determines optimal flux distribution for giv...
متن کاملMetabolic Constraints on Voluntary Intake in Ruminants1
The weak point in all current methods or models of diet formulation is the prediction of intake. The major uncertainty is not in the cases in which physical constraints apply, but in those in which voluntary intake is limited by feedback from metabolic factors. Voluntary intake is, ultimately, a psychological phenomenon, involving the integration of many signals, and reflects the flexibility of...
