    Exopolysaccharides synthesis on industrial waste
    (2016) Pirog, Tatiana; Ivahniuk, Mykola; Voronenko, Andryi
    Data from the literature and our own studies on the synthesis of microbial exopolysaccharides on various industrial waste (food industry, agricultural sector, biodiesel production, etc.) are reviewed here. Utilization of industrial waste to obtain exopolysaccharides will solve not only the problem of secondary raw materials accumulation, but also will reduce the costs of the biosynthesis of practically valuable metabolites. In addition, some kinds of waste have a number of advantages compared to traditional carbohydrate substrates: aside from environmental health benefits, there are technological ones, like the presence of growth factors. There is also no need to use anti-foam substances and substrate sterilization in the latter case.

    Effect of environmental factors on the synthesis and properties of Acinetobacter sp. exopolysaccharides
    (1998) Pirog, Tatiana; Grinberg, Tamara; Malashenko, Yuri
    Effects of external factors on the synthesis and physicochemical properties of Acinetobacter sp. exopolysaccharides (EPSs), which determine the biological functions of this microorganism, were studied. The cultivation temperature, medium pH, and oxygen concentration in the medium (p02) affected the viscosity of EPS solutions in the presence of monovalent cations, in the H+-form, and in a Cu2+-glycine system. All the EPSs studied were precipitated with heavy metal ions (Cr3+, Cu2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, etc.). No changes in the EPS yield were observed under unfavorable environmental conditions. At high pO2 values (up to 80% of saturation), the maximum specific rates of bacterial growth and EPS synthesis increased. It was suggested that Acinetobacter sp. EPSs perform different biological functions under optimal and nonoptimal conditions.

    Ethapolan: a new microbial exopolysaccharide for oil industry
    (1995) Grinberg, Tamara; Pirog, Tatiana; Malashenko, Yuri; Vlasov, Sergei A.
    Ethapolan, a new high-viscous exopolysaccharide, was obtained in the course of microbial synthesis. Its chemical content and some characteristics of its solutions are explored in the present study. By its structure ethapolan may be considered a polysaccharide of xanthan type. More definitely, as compared to xanthan, the emulsifying efficiency and hydrophobic nature of ethapolan may be attributed to the presence of the fatty acids residues and to 6-desoxysaccharide—rhamnose residues. It was found that a few factors impact the increasing viscosity of ethapolan solutions: first, the presence of the cations; second, low shearing rates; and, finally, low pH values. Ethapolan is resistant to heating. On this basis, it may be concluded that ethapolan appears to be a universal and quite competitive microbial exopolysaccharide for the oil industry.

    The influence of culture conditions on the physico-chemical properties of exopolysaccharide etapolana
    (2009) Pirog, Tatiana; Korzh, Yuliya; Shevchuk, Tetiana
    The physicochemical properties of the complex exopolysaccharide ethapolan (EPS) produced by Acinetobacter sp. 12S during growth on media with various C/N ratios and different concentrations of mineral components and phosphate buffer were studied. Irrespective of the cultivation conditions, the concentrations of carbohydrates (38–44%) and pyruvic acid (3.2–3.7%) in the total EPS, as well as in the acylated (AP) and nonacylated (NAP) polysaccharides obtained from them, were practically the same. The EPS, AP, and NAP were also identical in their monosaccharide composition: the molar ratio of glucose, mannose, galactose, and rhamnose was 3 : 2 : 1 : 1. The polysaccharides contained different concentrations of mineral salts (6–28%), uronic acid (3.7–22.0%), and fatty acids (5.8–15.4%); they also differed in the ratio of acetylated and nonacetylated polysaccharides. Due to the differences in the chemical composition and molecular mass (500 kDa – 1.5 MDa), the viscosities of the EPS solutions (in the presence of 0.1 M KCl, in the H+–form, and in Cu2+–glycine system) were different as well. The mechanisms responsible for changes in the physicochemical properties of the total EPS, AP, and NAP synthesized on various media are discussed.

    Formation of the Exopolysaccharide ethapolan by acinetobacter sp. IMV B-7005 on a fumarate–glucose mixture
    (2007) Pirog, Tatiana; Vysyatetska, Nadezhda; Korzh, Yuliya
    Our studies enabled us to intensify the synthesis of the microbial exopolysaccharide (EPS) ethapolan produced by Acinetobacter sp. IMV B-7005 grown on a mixture of fumarate (an energy-excessive substrate) and glucose (an energy-deficient substrate). Supplementing glucose-containing medium with sodium (potassium) fumarate at a molar ratio of 4 : 1 resulted in a 1.3–2.2-fold increase of the EPS amount synthesized and in a 1.3–2-fold increase of the EPS yield relative to the biomass compared to cultivation on monosubstrates. The conversion of the carbon of both substrates to EPS was the highest if the carbon/nitrogen ratio in the cultivation medium was 70.5 and inoculum grown on glucose monosubstrate was used.

    Exopolysaccharide Production and Peculiarities of C6-Metabolism in Acinetobacter sp. Grown on Carbohydrate Substrates
    (2002) Pirog, Tatiana; Kovalenko, M.; Kuzminska, Yu.
    An Acinetobacter sp. strain grown on carbohydrate substrates (mono- and disaccharides, molasses, starch) was shown to synthesize exopolysaccharides (EPS). Glucose catabolism proved to proceed via the Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas and Entner–Doudoroff pathways. Pyruvate entered the tricarboxylic acid cycle due to pyruvate dehydrogenase activity. Pyruvate carboxylation by pyruvate carboxylase was the anaplerotic reaction providing for the synthesis of intermediates for the constructive metabolism of Acinetobacter sp. grown on C6-substrates. The C6-metabolism in Acinetobacter sp. was limited by coenzyme A. Irrespective of the carbohydrate growth substrate (glucose, ethanol), the activities of the key enzymes of both C2- and C6-metabolism was high, except for the isocitrate lyase activity in glucose-grown bacteria. Isocitrate lyase activity was induced by C2-compounds (ethanol or acetate). After their addition to glucose-containing medium, both substrates were utilized simultaneously, and an increase was observed in the EPS synthesis, as well as in the EPS yield relative to biomass. The mechanisms responsible for enhancing the EPS synthesis in Acinetobacter sp. grown on a mixture of C2- and C6-substrates are discussed.

    Search for methanotrophic producers of exopolysaccharides
    (2001) Malashenko, Yuri; Pirog, Tatiana; Romanovska, V.; Malashenko, Yuri; Sokolov, I.; Grinberg, Tamara
    Bacteria that produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) and use methane as the only source of carbon were selected by studying a collection of methanotroph strains: Methylococcus capsulatus E 494, 874, and 3009; M. thermophilus 111p, 112p, and 119p; Methylobacter ucrainicus 159 and 161; M. luteus 57v and 12b; Methylobacter sp. 100; Methylomonas rubra 15 sh and SK-32; Methylosinus trichosporium OV3b, OV5b, and 4e; M. sporium 5,12, A20d, and 90v; and Methylocystis parvus OVVP. Mesophilic methanotroph strains with the ribulose monophosphate way of C1-compound assimilation synthesized EPS more actively than bacteria operating the serine cycle. The dynamics of EPS synthesis by methanotrophs during chemostat cultivation was studied.

    Specific features of the synthesis of the exopolysaccharide ethapolan on a mixture of energy-deficient growth substrates
    (2007) Pirog, Tatiana; Vysyatetska, Nadezhda; Korzh, Yuliya
    Intensification of the synthesis of the microbial exopolysaccharide ethapolan by Acinetobacter sp. B-7005 was shown to occur on a mixture of energy-deficient growth substrates (acetate + glucose). When the bacterium grew on the substrate mixture, both substrates were utilized simultaneously; acetate was taken up by means of active transport at the expense of the energy of the proton-motive force. When acetate was present in the form of a sodium salt, the activities of acetyl-CoA synthetase and phosphoenolpyruvate synthetase (the key enzyme of gluconeogenesis) were tenfold higher than in the presence of potassium acetate, and the indexes of ethapolan synthesis were two times higher. The positive effect of Na+ on ethapolan synthesis is supposed to consist in the creation of ion gradients on the membrane, necessary for the generation of the proton-motive force. Simultaneous functioning of the glyoxylate cycle and pyruvate carboxylase reaction, as well as an increase in the activity of isocitrate lyase, malate synthase, and phosphoenolpyruvate synthetase, provide evidence of increased gluconeogenesis in the presence of the acetate + glucose mixture (as compared to gluconeogenesis on the corresponding monosubstrates).
