Aspergillus niger : Control (fructose) vs. xylose + arabinose (XA)

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional profiling of A. niger comparing different strains (WT, M-NM-^TXlnR, M-NM-^TaraR and M-NM-^TaraRM-NM-^TXlnR) treated with 25mM xylose + 25mM arabinose for 2 and 8h. The main objective was to identifiy genes related to primary metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism in general, for instance, cellulases and hemicellulases. The study will compare the differences between WT strain and the strains with the disrupted xylanolytic transcriptional activator gene, XlnR, the arabinolytic transcriptional activator gene, AraR, and the double mutant,after treatment with xylose+arabinose (XA treatment). The experiment was further validated by real-time PCR and enzymatic assays. Two-condition experiment : A. niger mutant strains on XA for 2 and 8 h at 30 oC in batch culture. Firstly, the strains were pre-grown in minimal medium with fructose as carbon source (control), and then transferred to xylose+arabinose (25 mM each) as carbon source.

Project description:L-Arabinose occurs at economically relevant levels in lignocellulosic hydrolysates. Especially at low concentrations of L-arabinose, its uptake via the Gal2 galactose transporter is an important rate-controlling step in the complete conversion of these feedstocks by engineered, pentose-metabolizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. Chemostat-based transcriptome analysis yielded 16 putative sugar transporter genes in the filamentous fungus Penicillium chrysogenum whose transcript levels were at least three-fold higher in L-arabinose-limited cultures than in glucose-limited and ethanol-limited cultures. Of five genes that showed an over 30-fold higher transcript level in arabinose-grown cultures, only one (Pc20g01790) restored growth on L-arabinose upon expression in an engineered L-arabinose-fermenting S. cerevisiae strain in which GAL2 had been deleted. Sugar-transport assays indicated that Pc20g01790this transporter, designated as PcAraT, encodes functions as a high-affinity (Km = 0.13 mM) L-arabinose-proton symporter that does not transport xylose or glucose. An L-arabinose-metabolizing S. cerevisiae strain co-expressing Pc20g01790PcAraT and GAL2 showed lower residual substrate concentrations in L-arabinose-limited chemostat cultures (4 mg L-1) than a congenic strain in which L-arabinose import exclusively depended on Gal2 (1.8 g L-1). Inhibition of L-arabinose transport by these sugars was less pronounced than observed with Gal2. A hexose-phosphorylation-deficient, L-arabinose-metabolizing S. cerevisiae strain expressing PcAraT Pc20g0190 grew on 20 g L-1 L-arabinose in the presence of 20 g L-1 glucose, which completely inhibited growth on L-arabinose of a congenic strain dependent on L-arabinose transport via Gal2. Its high affinity and specificity for L-L-arabinose, combined with limited sensitivity to inhibition by glucose and D-D-xylose make PcAraT/ Pc20g01790 a valuable transporter gene for application in metabolic engineering strategies aimed at engineering S. cerevisiae strains for efficient conversion of lignocellulosic hydrolysates.

Project description:Pseudomonas alloputida KT2440 (previously misclassified as P. putida KT2440 based on 16S rRNA gene homology) has emerged as an ideal host strain for plan t biomass valorization. However, P. alloputida KT2440 is unable to natively utilize abundant pentose sugars (e.g., xylose and arabinose) in hydrolysate streams, which may account for up to 25% of lignocellulosic biomass. In the last decades, microbes have been engineered to utilize the pentose sugars. However, most of the engineered strains were either slow-growing or displayed phenotypes that could not be replicated. In this work, we successfully isolated five Pseudomonas species with the native capability to utilize glucose, xylose and p-coumarate as a sole carbon source. These isolates were in two clusters; one set of isolates (M2 and M5) and the second set of isolates (BP6 and BP7) showed 85.6% and 96.2% ANI, respectively, to P. alloputida KT24440. BP8 showed 84.6% ANI to P. putida KT2440 and does not belong to any neighboring type strains indicating a new species. Notably, the isolates showed robust growth solely on xylose and higher growth rates (m, 0.36-0.49 h-1) when compared to only known xylose-utilizing Pseudomonas taiwanenesis VLB120 (m, 0.28 h-1) as a control. Unexpectedly, among five isolates, M2 and M5 grew solely on arabinose as well. Comprehensive analysis of genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics revealed the isolates utilize xylose and arabinose via Weimberg pathway (xylD-xylX-xylA) and oxidative pathway (araD-araX-araA), respectively. Furthermore, a preliminary result demonstrated the production of flaviolin solely on xylose and arabinose in the isolate, showing noteworthy potential to be an alternative host for lignocellulosic feedstocks into valuable products. This is the first report on isolating Pseudomonas strains natively capable of utilizing all of the major carbon sources in lignocellulosic biomass, and leading to higher consumption of available substrates and therefore maximizing the product yield.
