    Electrochemical Control of Cell Metabolism Improves Ethanol Production of Zymomonas mobilis in an Electro-Fermentation System

    No full text
    This study investigated ethanol fermentation by Zymomonas mobilis in an electro-fermentation system (EFS) for efficient alcohol production, which increased the ethanol titer by 12.8% compared to fermentation without electricity input. The underlying mechanism was revealed by exploring the correlation among intracellular redox parameters such as NAD­(P)­H/NAD­(P)+ ratio, total antioxidant capacity, and cell membrane permeability. Transcriptome analysis further investigated that genes related to glucose uptake, ethanol, and succinic acid synthesis were upregulated in the cathode chamber, which promoted ethanol production. Two strategies to enhance EFS were proposed. First, the supplementation of electron shuttles (methylene blue, HNQ) can facilitate electron transport between electrodes and cells. Second, the manipulation of essential electricity-sensing genes (ZMO1211, ZMO1753) amplified the metabolic change. This study showed the possible use of electro-regulation for the efficient production of alcohol in Z. mobilis, which also provided insights into other microbial electrochemical processes in the future

    Data_Sheet_1_Genome Mining of the Marine Actinomycete Streptomyces sp. DUT11 and Discovery of Tunicamycins as Anti-complement Agents.docx

    <p>Marine actinobacteria are potential producers of various secondary metabolites with diverse bioactivities. Among various bioactive compounds, anti-complement agents have received great interest for drug discovery to treat numerous diseases caused by inappropriate activation of the human complement system. However, marine streptomycetes producing anti-complement agents are still poorly explored. In this study, a marine-derived strain Streptomyces sp. DUT11 showing superior anti-complement activity was focused, and its genome sequence was analyzed. Gene clusters showing high similarities to that of tunicamycin and nonactin were identified, and their corresponding metabolites were also detected. Subsequently, tunicamycin I, V, and VII were isolated from Streptomyces sp. DUT11. Anti-complement assay showed that tunicamycin I, V, VII inhibited complement activation through the classic pathway, whereas no anti-complement activity of nonactin was detected. This is the first time that tunicamycins are reported to have such activity. In addition, genome analysis indicates that Streptomyces sp. DUT11 has the potential to produce novel lassopeptides and lantibiotics. These results suggest that marine Streptomyces are rich sources of anti-complement agents for drug discovery.</p
