Studies on bioflocculant production by a consortium of two bacterial species belonging to the Methylobacterium and Actinobacterium generaNtsaluba, Luvuyo January 2012 (has links)
Bioflocculants produced by two identified bacteria: Actinobacterium sp. Mayor and Methylobacterium sp. Obi were investigated with regard to their physicochemical and flocculating characteristics. The two strains were later combined to form a consortium for further studies. The optimum culture conditions for the bioflocculant production were similar for all strains except in the case of Actinobacterium sp. Mayor and the consortium, where glucose was replaced by sodium carbonate as a carbon source. Multi-nitrogen source was the best nitrogen source compare to individual sources for both strains. The divalent cation, Ca2+ proved to be a better flocculating activity stimulus for all produced bioflocculants in this study. The optimum flocculating activities obtained for both individual strains and the consortium were all at alkaline pH. The yield of purified bioflocculant produced by the consortium was 8.203 g/l, while 4.190 g/l and 4.610 g/l were recovered for single strains of Actinobacterium sp. Mayor and Methylobacterium sp. Obi respectively. Further characterization of pure bioflocculants revealed that a bioflocculant dosage of 0.3 mg/ml resulted in the highest flocculating activity for both individual strains while 1.0 mg/ml of the bioflocculant produced by the consortium was required to enhance maximum flocculating efficiency. These bioflocculants proved to be all thermo stable at a temperature range of 20 to 900°C with a heating rate of 10oC/min under a constant flow of nitrogen gas. The presence of functional groups normally required for bioflocculation such as hydroxyl, carboxyl and amino was also detected. The findings of this study suggest that the producedbioflocculants can be utilized as excellent substitutes for harmful synthetic flocculants in both water and wastewater treatments as well as in other industrial applications.

Physiology and Evolution of Methylamine Metabolism across Methylobacterium extorquens strainsNayak, Dipti Dinkar 01 January 2015 (has links)
The interplay between physiology and evolution in microorganisms is extremely relevant from the stand-point of human health, the environment, and biotechnology; yet microbial physiology and microbial evolution largely continue to grow as disjoint fields of research. The goal of this dissertation was to use experimental evolution to study methylamine metabolism in Methylobacterium extorquens species. Methylotrophs like the M. extorquens species grow on reduced single carbon compounds and are the largest biological sink for methane. M. extorquens AM1, the model system for the study of aerobic methylotrophy, has an unstable genome and severe growth defects as a result of laboratory domestication. First, I describe the genomic, genetic, and phenotypic characterization of a new model system for the study of aerobic methylotrophy: M. extorquens PA1. This strain has a stable genome, was recently isolated from a known ecological niche, and is closely related to AM1. Whereas PA1 grew 10-50% faster than AM1on most substrates, it was five-fold slower on methylamine. The PA1 genome encodes a poorly characterized but ecologically relevant N-methylglutamate pathway whereas AM1 also encodes the well-characterized methylamine dehydrogenase for methylamine oxidation. I characterized the genetics of the N-methylglutamate pathway in PA1 to resolve a linear topology that requires the formation of two, unique amino acid intermediates during methylamine oxidation. I also showed that methylamine metabolism via the N-methylglutamate pathway routes carbon flux in a manner completely different from previous instances of methylotrophy. Next, I evolved replicate populations of PA1 on methylamine for 150 generations. Based on the empirical heuristic that the initial fitness is negatively correlated to the rate of adaptation, it was expected that the fitness gain would be rapid. However, methylamine fitness did not improve at all; adaptive constraints led to evolutionary recalcitrance despite low initial fitness. These adaptive constraints were alleviated by the horizontal gene transfer of an alternate, functionally degenerate metabolic module. Finally, I uncovered ecologically distinct roles for two functionally degenerate routes for methylamine oxidation pathways in the AM1 genome; the highly expressed, efficient route is primarily used for growth and the tightly regulated, energetically expensive route is used for assimilating nitrogen in methylamine-limiting environments.

Development of Methylobacterium extorquens as a recombinant protein production system and the expression of the heterologous cry1Aa gene from Bacillus thuringiensisBélanger, Louise January 2003 (has links)
Methylobacterium extorquens ATCC55366 is an interesting candidate for large-scale production of recombinant proteins. Development and optimization of this recombinant expression system were done using the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene cloned into expression vectors (pRK310 and pCM110) as model systems. Selection of efficient GFP-expressing clones, long-term production stability without selection in flasks, effects of selection, oxygen and methanol supplies, were studied during fed-batch fermentations in a 20-l bioreactor. Sequential batch-culture cultivations in shake flasks showed that specific GFP production was constant in the presence of tetracycline. However, the GFP production decreased in the absence of this selective pressure. In fed-batch fermentations of recombinant M. extorquens ATCC 55366 (pMxaF-GFP), overall GFP yields (≈70 mg/g; GFP/cell dry weight) were not affected by the presence or absence of tetracycline, nor by oxygen and methanol concentration oscillations. The cry1Aa gene from Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki NRD-12 was cloned in pCM110 and then transformed into M. extorquens. Heterologous expression of the cry1Aa gene in M. extorquens AM1 and ATCC 55366 was detected by immunoblot analyses. This study suggests that M. extorquens can be used as a valuable expression system for intracellular recombinant protein production.
