The purpose of this investigation was to increase ethanol yield through minimizing glycerol yield by using mutants in which FPS1 encoding a channel protein that mediates glycerol export and GPD2 encoding one of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase were knocked-out using one-step gene replacement. GLT1 and GLN1 that encode glutamate synthase and glutamine synth.etase, respectively,were overexpressed using two-step gene replacment in fpsl△gpd2△ mutant.The fermentation properties of ZAL69(fpsl△::LEU2 gpd2△::URA3) and ZAL808 (fps1△::LEU2 gpd2△::URA3 PPGK1-GLT1 PPGK1-GLN1) under microaerobic conditions were investigated and compared with those of wild type(DC124). Consumption of glucose, yield of ethanol, yield of glycerol, acetic acid, and pyruvic acid were monitored. Compared with wild type, the ethanol yield of ZAL69 and ZAL808 were improved by. 13.17% and 6.66 %, respectively, whereas glycerol yield decreased by 37.4 % and 41.7 %. Meanwhile, acetic acia yield and pyruvic acid yield aecreasea aramatlcally comparea to wild type. Our results indicate that FPS1 and GPD2 deletion of S. cerevisiae resulted in reduced glycerol yield and increased ethanol yield, but simultaneous overexpression of GLT1 and GLN1 infps1△gpd2△ mutant did not have a higher ethanol yield thanfps1△gpd2△ mutant.展开更多

The effects of propanoic acid on ethanol production were examined in cassava mash under different pH conditions. Final ethanol concentrations increased when undissociated propanoic acid was <30.0 mmol·L-1 . Propanoic acid, however, stimulated ethanol production, as much as 7.6% under proper conditions, but ethanol fermentation was completely inhibited when undissociated acid was >53.2 mmol·L-1 . Therefore, the potential inhibitory effect of propanoic acid on ethanol fermentation may be avoided by controlling the undissociated acid concentrations through elevated medium pH. Biomass and glycerol production decreased with propanoic acid in the medium, partly contributing to increased ethanol concentration.展开更多

Changes in cell membrane fatty acid profiles studied under different temperature and media. The active oxygenation, semi-aerobic cultivation supplemented Tween 80 conditions were used in different combinations. The concentrations of 2-PE and Eth, the fatty acids methyl esters (FAMES) in the media were measured by GC-MS analyses. 2-PE, Eth, FAMES were identified by NIST02 MS database at the 2-PE and Eth standard solution (Merck, Germany), bacterial FAMES standard (Supelco). Palmitoleic and oleic acid were dominated for S. cerevisiae UCM Y-524. The unsaturated/saturated fatty acid (UFA/SFA) ratio was higher than five for S. cerevisiae UCM Y-524 at 14 ~C in simple medium and about more than three for other conditions. It has been found that yeast cells grown in the presence of the 2-PE, Eth and Eth/2-PE appear to increase the amount of unsaturated fatty acids, especially oleic acid, in cellular lipids especially under active oxygenation supplemented with Tween 80. S. cerevisiae UCM Y-524 has a higher tolerance under 2-PE, Eth and Eth/2-PE stress at 28 ~C in a simple medium under aerobic conditions. A higher concentration of unsaturated fatty acids in the membrane S. cerevisiae UCM Y-524 and a lower temperature under aerobic conditions, has been considered to have a positive influence on the excretion of 2-phenylethanol.展开更多
