Abstract
-
An essential part of designing any biotechnological process is
examination of the physiological state of producer cells in
different phases of cultivation. The main marker of a bacterial
cell’s state is its fatty acid (FA) profile, reflecting membrane
lipid composition. Consideration of FA composition
enables assessment of bacterial responses to cultivation conditions
and helps biotechnologists understand the most significant
factors impacting cellular metabolism. In this work,
soil SDS-degrading Pseudomonas helmanticensis was studied
at the fatty acid profile level, including analysis of rearrangement
between planktonic and aggregated forms. The set of
substrates included fat hydrolysates, SDS, and their mixtures
with glucose. Such media are useful in bioplastic production
since they can help incrementally lower overall costs. Conventional
gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used
for FA analysis. Acridine orange-stained aggregates were observed
by epifluorescence microscopy. The bacterium was
shown to change fatty acid composition in the presence of
hydrolyzed fats or SDS. These changes seem to be driven by
the depletion of metabolizable substrates in the culture medium.
Cell aggregation has also been found to be a defense
strategy, particularly with anionic surfactant (SDS) exposure.
It was shown that simple fluidity indices (such as saturated/
unsaturated FA ratios) do not always sufficiently characterize
a cell's physiological state, and morphological examination
is essential in cases where complex carbon sources are used.

Abstract
-
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia) is a common
opportunistic pathogen in intensive care units and causes infections
most often after surgeries in immune-compromised
patients such as those undergoing chemotherapy. Outer membrane
protein A (OmpA) is the most abundant of the outer
membrane proteins in S. maltophilia. Previous studies on
OmpA usually focus on its interaction with the host cells and
its role in vaccine development. However, the impact of
OmpA on the virulence of S. maltophilia to host cells and
the effects on apoptosis remain unclear. In this study, we exposed
purified recombinant S. maltophilia OmpA (rOmpA)
to HEp-2 cells and investigated the effects of OmpA on epithelial
cell apoptosis. Morphologic and flow cytometric analyses
revealed that HEp-2 cells stimulated with rOmpA multiple
apoptosis features, including nuclear roundness and pyknosis,
chromatin aggregation, and phosphatidylserine eversion.
We found that rOmpA regulated the protein levels of
Bax and Bcl-xL in HEp-2 cells, leading to changes in mitochondria
permeability and the release of cytochrome c and
apoptosis-inducing factors into the cytoplasm. These subsequently
activate the caspase-9/caspase-3 pathway that promote
apoptosis. We also observed that rOmpA enhanced the
generation of reactive oxygen species and increased intracellular
Ca2+ levels in HEp-2 cells. Collectively, our data suggested
that rOmpA induced epithelial cells apoptosis via mitochondrial
pathways.

Abstract
-
The optimal conditions for the production of carboxymethylcellulase (CMCase) by Bacillus velezensis A-68 at a flask scale have been previously reported. In this study, the parameters involved in dissolved oxygen in 7 and 100 L bioreactors were optimized for the pilot-scale production of CMCase. The optimal agitation speed and aeration rate for cell growth of B. velezensis A-68 were 323 rpm and 1.46 vvm in a 7 L bioreactor, whereas those for the production of CMCase were 380 rpm and 0.54 vvm, respectively. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) implied that the highly significant factor for cell growth was the aeration rate, whereas that for the production of CMCase was the agitation speed. The optimal inner pressures for cell growth and the production of CMCase by B. velezensis A-68 in a 100 L bioreactor were 0.00 and 0.04 MPa, respectively. The maximal production of CMCase in a 100 L bioreactor under optimized conditions using rice hulls was 108.1 U/ml, which was 1.8 times higher than that at a flask scale under previously optimized conditions.
