Документ The influence of culture conditions on the physico-chemical properties of exopolysaccharide etapolana(2009) Pirog, Tatiana; Korzh, Yuliya; Shevchuk, TetianaThe 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.Документ Formation of the Exopolysaccharide ethapolan by acinetobacter sp. IMV B-7005 on a fumarate–glucose mixture(2007) Pirog, Tatiana; Vysyatetska, Nadezhda; Korzh, YuliyaOur 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.Документ Specific features of the synthesis of the exopolysaccharide ethapolan on a mixture of energy-deficient growth substrates(2007) Pirog, Tatiana; Vysyatetska, Nadezhda; Korzh, YuliyaIntensification 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).
