AbstractThe present study investigated possible effects of dietary malic acid on the expression of immunity, antioxidant and growth related genes expression as well as skin mucus immune parameters in common carp. Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) fingerlings were fed diets supplemented with different levels (0 [control], 0.5%, 1%, 2%) of malic acid (MA) for 60 days. The results revealed highest expression levels of immune-related genes (tnf-alpha, il1b, il8 and lyz) in skin of common carp fed 2% MA (P < 0.05). Regarding 1% MA treatment comparison with control group, significant difference was noticed just in case of lyz (P < 0.05). Evaluation of growth related genes expression revealed no significant difference between treatments (P > 0.05). The study of antioxidant related genes (gsta and gpx) in common carp skin fed with MA, showed significant difference between treated groups and control (P < 0.05). Carps fed with 2% MA had highest alkaline phosphatase activity in skin mucus compared other treated groups and control (P < 0.05). There were no significant difference between 0.5% and 1% and control (P > 0.05). The study of total protein and total immunoglobulin (Ig) in common carp skin musus revealed no alteration following MA treatment (P > 0.05). The present data demonstrated that feeding with MA altered immune and antioxidant genes expression in skin mucus of common carp.

Four-month-old, aseptically raised Phalaenopsis Atien Kaala `TSC 22' seedlings 1.0 cm in leaf spread were transferred (Nov. 1995) 25 per polycarbonate box to an agar medium and placed under 10, 20, 40, or 80 mol·–2·s–1 PPF from cool-white fluorescent tubes. In June 1996, plants grown under 40 or 80 mol·–2·s–1 PPF had greater mass, wider leaves, and more roots than those under the two lower PPF. Plants were then transplanted and grown in a greenhouse (GH) under 340, 170, or 85 mol·–2·s–1maximum PPF. In May 1997, plants previously produced under 40 mol·–2·s–1 PPF had longer, wider, and thicker leaves than those under 10 mol·–2·s–1 PPF when grown under the two higher GH PPF. Under the low GH PPF, however, plants were equally small, regardless of the previous flasking PPF levels. Plants under the high, medium, and low GH PPF had an average of 61, 37, and 17 g of fresh mass, respectively. By September 1997, plants had increasingly larger leaves and higher concentrations of malic acid, sugars, and starch as GH PPF increased. Each doubling in GH PPF resulted in more than a two-fold increase in plant fresh mass. Under the low GH PPF, plants previously produced under 80 mol·–2·s–1 PPF during flasking were 13% larger than those under 10 mol·–2·s–1 PPF. Plants grown under the high, medium, and low GH PPF had 100%, 79%, and 0% flowering, respectively. Those under the high GH PPF bloomed earlier and had longer inflorescences, bearing many more and larger flowers, than those under the medium GH PPF.

Abstract Background Lignocellulosic biomass has long been recognized as a potential sustainable source for industrial applications. The costs associated with conversion of plant biomass to fermentable sugar represent a significant barrier to the production of cost-competitive biochemicals. Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) is considered a potential breakthrough for achieving cost-efficient production of biomass-based fuels and commodity chemicals. During the degradation of cellulose, cellobiose (major end-product of cellulase activity) is catabolized by hydrolytic and phosphorolytic pathways in cellulolytic organisms. However, the details of the two intracellular cellobiose metabolism pathways in cellulolytic fungi remain to be uncovered. Results Using the engineered malic acid production fungal strain JG207, we demonstrated that the hydrolytic pathway by β-glucosidase and the phosphorolytic pathway by phosphorylase are both used for intracellular cellobiose metabolism in Myceliophthora thermophila, and the yield of malic acid can benefit from the energy advantages of phosphorolytic cleavage. There were obvious differences in regulation of the two cellobiose catabolic pathways depending on whether M. thermophila JG207 was grown on cellobiose or Avicel. Disruption of Mtcpp in strain JG207 led to decreased production of malic acid under cellobiose conditions, while expression levels of all three intracellular β-glucosidase genes were significantly up-regulated to rescue the impairment of the phosphorolytic pathway under Avicel conditions. When the flux of the hydrolytic pathway was reduced, we found that β-glucosidase encoded by bgl1 was the dominant enzyme in the hydrolytic pathway and deletion of bgl1 resulted in significant enhancement of protein secretion but reduction of malate production. Combining comprehensive manipulation of both cellobiose utilization pathways and enhancement of cellobiose uptake by overexpression of a cellobiose transporter, the final strain JG412Δbgl2Δbgl3 produced up to 101.2 g/L and 77.4 g/L malic acid from cellobiose and Avicel, respectively, which corresponded to respective yields of 1.35 g/g and 1.03 g/g, representing significant improvement over the starting strain JG207. Conclusions This is the first report of detailed investigation of intracellular cellobiose catabolism in cellulolytic fungus M. thermophila. These results provide insights that can be applied to industrial fungi for production of biofuels and biochemicals from cellobiose and cellulose.
