Enhancement of fermentable sugar yields by alpha-xylosidase supplementation of commercial cellulases

Posted on by

Background:
Although alpha-linked xylose is a major constituent of the hemicelluloses of land plants, few secreted alpha-xylosidases have been described from fungi or bacteria. AxlA of Aspergillus niger is a secreted alpha-xylosidase that was earlier shown to promote the release of free glucose (Glc) and xylose (Xyl) from substrates containing alpha-linked xylose, including isoprimeverose (IP), the heptasaccharide subunit of pea xyloglucan (XG), and tamarind XG.
Results:
The utility of AxlA for enhancing release of free Glc and Xyl in combination with commercial enzyme cocktails from dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants was examined. Without AxlA supplementation, a mixture of CTec2 and HTec2 (both of which are derived from T. reesei) did not release significant levels of Glc from pea XG or tamarind XG. This is consistent with their lack of detectable alpha-xylosidase activity using model substrates. On alkaline hydrogen peroxide-pretreated corn stover, supplementation of CTec2/HTec2 (at a loading of 2.5 mg/g glucan) with AxlA (at a loading of 8 mg/g glucan) increased Glc yields from 82% to 88% of the total available Glc and increased Xyl yields from 55% to 60%. AxlA supplementation also improved Glc yields from corn stover treated with the commercial cellulase Accellerase 1000. The AxlA enhancement was not a general protein effect because bovine serum albumin or bovine gamma-globulin at similar concentrations did not enhance Glc yields from corn stover in response to CTec2/HTec2. Supplementation of CTec2/HTec2 with AxlA did not enhance Glc release from pretreated green or etiolated pea tissue. However, AxlA did enhance Glc and Xyl yields compared to CTec2/HTec2 alone from another dicotyledonous herbaceous plant, Chenopodium album (lamb's quarters).
Conclusion:
Supplementation of commercial cellulase cocktails with AxlA enhances yields of Glc and Xyl from some biomass substrates under some conditions, and may prove useful in industrial lignocellulose conversion.Source:

Lignin biosynthesis perturbations affect secondary cell wall composition and saccharification yield in Arabidopsis thaliana

Posted on by

Background:
Second-generation biofuels are generally produced from the polysaccharides in the lignocellulosic plant biomass, mainly cellulose. However, because cellulose is embedded in a matrix of other polysaccharides and lignin, its hydrolysis into the fermentable glucose is hampered. The senesced inflorescence stems of a set of 20 Arabidopsis thaliana mutants in 10 different genes of the lignin biosynthetic pathway were analyzed for cell wall composition and saccharification yield. Saccharification models were built to elucidate which cell wall parameters played a role in cell wall recalcitrance.
Results:
Although lignin is a key polymer providing the strength necessary for the plant's ability to grow upward, a reduction in lignin content down to 64% of the wild-type level in Arabidopsis was tolerated without any obvious growth penalty. In contrast to common perception, we found that a reduction in lignin was not compensated for by an increase in cellulose, but rather by an increase in matrix polysaccharides. In most lignin mutants, the saccharification yield was improved by up to 88% cellulose conversion for the cinnamoyl-coenzyme A reductase1 mutants under pretreatment conditions, whereas the wild-type cellulose conversion only reached 18%. The saccharification models and Pearson correlation matrix revealed that the lignin content was the main factor determining the saccharification yield. However, also lignin composition, matrix polysaccharide content and composition, and, especially, the xylose, galactose, and arabinose contents influenced the saccharification yield. Strikingly, cellulose content did not significantly affect saccharification yield.
Conclusions:
Although the lignin content had the main effect on saccharification, also other cell wall factors could be engineered to potentially increase the cell wall processability, such as the galactose content. Our results contribute to a better understanding of the effect of lignin perturbations on plant cell wall composition and its influence on saccharification yield, and provide new potential targets for genetic improvement.Please see related article: http://www.biotechnologyforbiofuels.com/content/6/1/45/Source:

Plant cell wall profiling by fast maximum likelihood reconstruction (FMLR) and region-of-interest (ROI) segmentation of solution-state 2D 1H–13C NMR spectra

Posted on by

Background:
Interest in the detailed lignin and polysaccharide composition of plant cell walls has surged within the past decade partly as a result of biotechnology research aimed at converting biomass to biofuels. High-resolution, solution-state 2D 1H--13C HSQC NMR spectroscopy has proven to be an effective tool for rapid and reproducible fingerprinting of the numerous polysaccharides and lignin components in unfractionated plant cell wall materials, and is therefore a powerful tool for cell wall profiling based on our ability to simultaneously identify and comparatively quantify numerous components within spectra generated in a relatively short time. However, assigning peaks in new spectra, integrating them to provide relative component distributions, and producing color-assigned spectra, are all current bottlenecks to the routine use of such NMR profiling methods.
Results:
We have assembled a high-throughput software platform for plant cell wall profiling that uses spectral deconvolution by Fast Maximum Likelihood Reconstruction (FMLR) to construct a mathematical model of the signals present in a set of related NMR spectra. Combined with a simple region of interest (ROI) table that maps spectral regions to NMR chemical shift assignments of chemical entities, the reconstructions can provide rapid and reproducible fingerprinting of numerous polysaccharide and lignin components in unfractionated cell wall material, including derivation of lignin monomer unit (S:G:H) ratios or the so-called SGH profile. Evidence is presented that ROI-based amplitudes derived from FMLR provide a robust feature set for subsequent multivariate analysis. The utility of this approach is demonstrated on a large transgenic study of Arabidopsis requiring concerted analysis of 91 ROIs (including both assigned and unassigned regions) in the lignin and polysaccharide regions of almost 100 related 2D 1H--13C HSQC spectra.
Conclusions:
We show that when a suitable number of replicates are obtained per sample group, the correlated patterns of enriched and depleted cell wall components can be reliably and objectively detected even prior to multivariate analysis. The analysis methodology has been implemented in a publicly-available, cross-platform (Windows/Mac/Linux), web-enabled software application that enables researchers to view and publish detailed annotated spectra in addition to summary reports in simple spreadsheet data formats. The analysis methodology is not limited to studies of plant cell walls but is amenable to any NMR study where ROI segmentation techniques generate meaningful results.Please see related article: http://www.biotechnologyforbiofuels.com/content/6/1/46/Source:

Maharashtra has managed to improve the health of its children as significantly lesser number of children under the age of two years is stunted, a latest UNICEF report has said.

The first-ever State-wide nutrition survey done in 2012 to assess the progress and identify areas for future action to improve the health of the children indicated that prevalence of stunting in children under two years was 23 per cent a decrease of 16 percentage points over a seven-year period.

Results of this Comprehensive Nutrition Survey in Maharashtra suggested progress was associated with improvements in how children were fed, the care they and their mothers received, and the environments in which they lived.

From 2005-2006 to 2012, the percentage of children, aged 6 to 23 months old, who were fed a required minimum number of times per day increased from 34 to 77 and the proportion of mothers who benefited from at least three antenatal visits during pregnancy increased from 75 to 90 per cent.

More than 60 million children under 5 years are stunted in India, comprising almost half the children in this age group. They represent an estimated one-third of stunted children worldwide.

In Maharashtra, 39 per cent of children under the age of two years were stunted in 2005-2006. But by 2012, according to a State-wide nutrition survey, the prevalence of stunting had dropped to 23 per cent. The States determined actions and focus on service delivery contributed to this dramatic decline, said the UNICEF report Improving Child Nutrition: The achievable imperative for global progress.

In 2005, in response to reports of child deaths from under-nutrition in a number of districts, the State launched the Rajmata Jijau Mother-Child Health & Nutrition Mission. It was initially focused on five primarily tribal districts with the highest incidence of child under-nutrition (Amravati, Gadchiroli, Nandurbar, Nasik and Thane). But after the National Family Health Survey of 20052006, the Missions mandate was expanded to coordinate efforts to reduce child under-nutrition throughout the State. The Mission was extended to 10 additional districts with a substantial concentration of tribal populations in 20062007 and finally to the remaining districts in 20082009.

The State Nutrition Mission began by working to improve the effectiveness of service delivery through the Integrated Child Development Services and the National Rural Health Mission, the national flagship programmes for child nutrition, health and development. Their focus was on filling vacancies in key personnel, particularly front-line workers and supervisors, and on improving their motivation and skills to deliver timely, high-quality services in communities.

In the second five-year phase, beginning in 2011, more emphasis was placed on improving the nutrition of children under two years and their mothers. This shift was made in response to global evidence about the critical 1,000-day window to prevent under-nutrition in children.

The provisional results of the Maharashtra survey showed that in spite of more frequent meals, only 7 per cent of children 623 months old received a minimal acceptable diet in 2012. Too few children are being fed an adequately diverse diet rich in essential nutrients with the appropriate frequency to ensure their optimal physical growth and cognitive development. A State-wide strategy to improve the quality of complementary foods and feeding and hygiene practices is essential to further reduce stunting levels.

Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Members Evaluate Existing Evidence on Umami in Foods

Posted on by

WASHINGTON, April 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --The addition of umami compounds or foods rich in umami, allows for reductions in sodium content of foods without sacrificing taste, liking and pleasantness, according to a review of the existing evidence conducted by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The resulting reduction in sodium may vary depending on the type of food consumed, as well as the amount and type of umami compounds present. Overall dietary intake of sodium was not evaluated in these studies. Based on the scale used by the Academy, the overall strength of the available evidence supporting this finding was "Grade I" or "good." (Grade I= good; Grade II = fair; Grade III = limited; Grade IV = expert opinion; Grade V, not assignable).

"Umami is the lesser known basic taste, in addition to salty, sweet, bitter and sour," said Kristi Crowe, PhD, RD. "It's only fairly recently that we in Western societies have come to understand umami, which is present in broths, aged cheeses, tomatoes and other products that contain glutamate, a common amino acid and protein component."

Monosodium glutamate (MSG), the sodium salt of glutamate and produced through fermentation of molasses, is widely used around the world as a seasoning or flavor enhancer. It is classified as "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. But for decades, there have been questions and confusion about the presence of MSG in foods and its connection with umami as a basic taste sensation. "The purpose of the Evidence Analysis Library (EAL) project was to help Registered Dietitians understand the facts about umami and MSG, both from a science and culinary perspective," Crowe explained.

The EAL further reported that based on the existing evidence, in healthy adults, four studies showed inconsistent results on the presence of reactions after ingestion of monosodium glutamate (MSG). In children or adults with chronic urticaria (two studies) ingestion of MSG did not worsen symptoms. In adults with asthma (two studies), ingestion of MSG did not worsen symptoms. (Overall strength of the available supporting evidence, Grade II = fair.)

Members of the Academy evaluate nutrition and health-related questions using a pre-defined and calibrated approach to ensure objectivity, transparency and reproducibility of the process. Available information is analyzed by an expert workgroup which synthesizes and grades the strength of evidence supporting their conclusions.

The report and research summaries are available at: http://andevidencelibrary.com/topic.cfm?cat=4818. From there, visitors may link to the complete analysis and details about the process.

The Glutamate Association (TGA) seeks to provide an effective channel of communication among its members, the public, the media, the scientific community, food professionals and government officials about the use and safety of glutamate. TGA also seeks to assure that relevant research and information on the safety and efficacy of MSG are made available to all interested parties. For more information, visit http://www.msgfacts.com.

Notes to Authors:

No endorsement by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics of any brand-name product or service is intended or should be inferred from a Guideline or from any of its components (including Questions, Evidence Summary, Conclusion Statement, Conclusion Statement Grade, Recommendation or Recommendation Rating).

Conclusion Statements are assigned a grade by an expert work group based on the systematic analysis and evaluation of the supporting research evidence. Grade I is good; grade II, fair; grade III, limited; grade IV signifies expert opinion only; and grade V indicates that a grade is not assignable because there is no evidence to support or refute the conclusion. Recommendations are also assigned a rating by an expert work group based on the grade of the supporting evidence and the balance of benefit versus harm. Recommendation ratings are Strong, Fair, Weak, Consensus or Insufficient Evidence.

The microbes you inhale on the New York City subway

Posted on by

Public release date: 24-Apr-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ]

Contact: Jim Sliwa jsliwa@asmusa.org 202-942-9297 American Society for Microbiology

The microbial population in the air of the New York City subway system is nearly identical to that of ambient air on the city streets. This research, published ahead of print in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology, establishes an important baseline, should it become necessary to monitor the subway's air for dispersal of potentially dangerous microbes. Also, the combination of new methodologies in the study, including fast collection of aerosols and rapid sequencing technology, provide an efficient means for monitoring which was not previously available.

The results "are strong testimony for the efficiency of the train pumping system for ventilation," says principal investigator Norman R. Pace of the University of Colorado, Boulder. The wind one feels while walking across a subway grate as the subway clatters beneath also demonstrates just how effective that system is, he says. The only obvious differences in the subway's microbial population are the somewhat higher proportion of skin microbiota, and the doubled density of the fungal population, which Pace suggests may be due to rotting wood. "I was impressed by the similarity of [subway] and outdoor air," he says.

The researchers used a high tech mechanism to collect air at around 300 liters per minute (L/min), a big jump on the previous state of the art, which swallowed 12 L/min. That enabled collecting sufficient volume of aira couple of cubic metersto take the bacterial census within 20 minutes, instead of after "hours," says Pace. And analysis by sequencing is far faster and more thorough then using culture.

Pace notes that until now, the microbial content of subway air was unknown, and that the microbiology of indoor air is an emerging field of scientific inquiry. His research was funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, through its Microbiology of the Built Environment program, which has made 64 grants totaling $28 million to date.

"While it is difficult to predict what will be discovered on the frontier of scientific inquiry, the opportunity exists to better understand these complex microbial ecosystems and how they affect health and the environment. We expect that someday this knowledge will influence design and construction practices and other industrial processes," says Paula Olsiewski, program director, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

Through his genuine and straightforward approach, host David Wolfe shows us that no problem is created without a solution and that we DO have the opportunity, right at our fingertips, to make new choices about our lifestyle. We can take our health back into our own hands.

My goal is to make everybody skilled enough to be able to be their own doctor, their own nutritionist. Because all of us intrinsically have that inside of us. David Wolfe
