Elucidation of secondary cell wall secretion mechanisms of Arabidopsis thaliana, Poplar (Populus deltoides x P. trichocarpa) and Pine (Pinus contorta)

Kaneda, Minako 05 1900 (has links)
Lignin is a key component of plant secondary cell walls, providing strength to the plant and allowing water transport. Lignin is a polymer of monolignols that are synthesized in the cell and transported into the cellulose rich cell wall. The primary goal of this thesis is to understand the mechanism(s) of monolignol deposition during xylogenesis. The currently accepted theory is that monolignols are exported by Golgi-mediated vesicle delivery to the secondary cell wall. When this theory was re-examined using cryofixed developing pine, quantitative autoradiography showed that monolignols did not accumulate in Golgi but were rapidly translocated from cytosol to cell wall. This suggests alternative mechanisms, such as membrane transporters, work in monolignol export. ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters were chosen because they transport other secondary metabolites and some ABC transporter encoding genes are highly expressed in lignifying cells. Four candidate ABC transporters were selected in Arabidopsis (ABCB11, ABCB14, ABCB15 from the ABCB/MDR subfamily and ABCG33 from the ABCG/PDR subfamily) and shown to have overlapping, high vasculature expression patterns. Mutants with T-DNA insertions in single ABC transporter genes had no change in lignification of inflorescence stems. However, a reduced polar auxin transport phenotype was detected in mutants of ABCB11, ABCB14 and ABCB15. An additional approach was the use of inhibitors of ABC transporters. A new assay, which was developed to quantify lignification in primary xylem of Arabidopsis roots, demonstrated that ABC inhibitors did not change lignin deposition. Monolignols are exported and polymerized in the polysaccharide matrix of the cell wall, which includes hemicelluloses that may organize monolignols during polymerization. Since diverse lignified cell types are enriched in either G- or S-lignin, I hypothesized that this pattern could reflect different hemicellulose distributions, which was examined using antibody labeling of xylans or mannans in hybrid poplar xylem. While xylans were generally distributed in all secondary cell walls, mannans were enriched in fibers but not in the ray and vessel walls. In summary, during secondary cell wall deposition, monolignols are exported by unknown transporter(s) rather than Golgi vesicles. In developing poplar wood, the monolignols are deposited into diverse hemicellulose domains in different cell types.

Estima-se que para cada tonelada de milho produzido 2,3 toneladas são rejeitos. Entretanto, para a utilização deste substrato é necessário um tratamento inicial de hidrólise ácida, básica ou enzimática para a remoção da lignina e hemicelulose deixando exposta a celulose, que pode ser utilizada como substrato por microrganismos. Portanto, este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a produção de etanol pela levedura Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 26602 a partir do sabugo de milho hidrolisado que foi utilizado como substrato. Para isto variaram-se diferentes concentrações de ácido sulfúrico (2,5; 5,0; 7,5 e 10,0%) em diferentes tempos de aquecimento em autoclave (15 e 30 minutos). Foi avaliado o efeito da desintoxicação nos hidrolisados para a remoção de compostos inibidores da fermentação produzidos durante a hidrólise nos diferentes tempos de aquecimento e o efeito de diferentes velocidades de agitação (0, 50 e 100 rpm) na fermentação do hidrolisado. Foi avaliada a produção de etanol utilizando o meio hidrolisado de sabugo de milho (na concentração de 20, 40 e 60 g/L de açúcares redutores). Também foi estimada a produção de etanol utilizando um meio sintético adicionado de glicose (nas concentrações de 40 e 60 g/L) que serviu como padrão de comparação na utilização do meio contendo o sabugo de milho hidrolisado. Os resultados indicaram que a melhor concentração de H2SO4 para realização da hidrólise foi de 2,5% com 30 min. de aquecimento. A desintoxicação do hidrolisado resultou na diminuição da concentração de compostos fenólicos. Foi realizada uma avaliação da produção de etanol após a fermentação de 48 h do hidrolisado, apresentando o melhor resultado em 36 h de fermentação, 7,04 g/L de etanol no meio incubado com agitação de 50 rpm e 8,11 g/L de etanol no meio com agitação de 100 rpm. Portanto, tem-se que o hidrolisado do sabugo de milho é uma opção alternativa para a produção de etanol de segunda geração. Além disso, a levedura S. cerevisiae ATCC 26602 foi capaz de utilizar o hidrolisado sem desintoxicação para produção de etanol. / Corn is one of the most produced crops in Brazil and it can be grown in any soil or climate. During its processing, it presents as tailings the cob, stem, leaves and straw that can be used as biomass for bioethanol production. It is estimated that for each ton of corn produced 2,3 tons are tailings. However, the use of this substrate requires an initial treatment of acidic, basic or enzymatic hydrolysis for the removal of lignin and hemicellulose exposing cellulose, which can be used as a substrate by microorganisms. Therefore, the aim of this research is to study the ethanol production on the yest Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 26602 from hydrolyzed corn cob wich was used as substrate. For this purpose, different concentrations of sulfuric acid (2,5, 5,0, 7,5 and 10,0%) were used under different autoclaving heating periods (15 and 30 minutes). The effect of detoxification on hydrolysates to remove fermentation inhibitor compounds produced during the hydrolysis at the different heating periods and the effect of different stirring rates (0, 50 and 100 rpm) was evaluated in the fermentation of hidrolizate. The ethanol production was evaluated using a hydrolyte environment (at concentration of 40 and 60 g/L). The ethanol production was also evaluated using a synthetic medium added with glucose (at concentrations of 20, 40 and 60 g/L), which will serve as a comparison standard when using the medium containing hydrolyzed corn cob. The results indicate that the best H2SO4 concentration for hydrolysis was 2,50% acid with 30 min. of heating. The detoxification of the hydrolyzates resulted in a decrease on the concentration of phenolic compounds. A partial evaluation of the ethanol production was carried out after fermentation of 48 h of the hydrolyzates, providing the best result within 36 h of fermentation, 7,04 g/L of ethanol in the medium incubated with agitation of 50 rpm and 8,11 g/L ethanol in the medium with 100 rpm stirring. This concludes that corn cob hydrolyzates are an advantageous option for the production of ethanol. Besides, the yest S. cereviseae ATCC 26602 was able to use the hydrolyzate without detoxification for ethanol production. / CNPq: 134033/2016-7

Os isolados foram triados por teste de produ??o de g?s em meio contendo D-xilose e os que apresentaram resultado positivo foram testados para produ??o de etanol. Dos 202 isolados de leveduras capazes de assimilar D-xilose para o crescimento, quatro linhagens apresentaram habilidade em fermentar este a??car. O potencial fermentativo das leveduras selecionadas foi avaliado em meios sint?ticos, onde foram monitorados o crescimento celular e consumo dos a??cares. O teor alco?lico foi determinado ao fim de cada ensaio e as vari?veis do processo foram calculadas.

D-xylose from processes of hemicellulose hydrolysis is not metabolized by yeast strains conventionally used in industrial processes for obtaining first generation ethanol, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae species. In this context, this study aimed to isolate naturally occurring yeasts in vegetal species or its parts and assess their ability to convert D-xylose to ethanol. The isolation was carried out in solid medium containing D-xylose as only carbon source. The isolates were screened by gas production test in medium containing D-xylose and those who had positive results were tested for ethanol production. Of the 202 isolates of yeasts capable of assimilating D-xylose for growth, four strains also showed ability to ferment this sugar. The potential of fermentative selected yeasts has been reported in synthetic media, in which the cell growth and consumption of sugars were monitored. Alcohol content was determined after each run and some process variables were calculated. The isolated strains were identified as Geotricum galactomyces and Candida akabanensis, not having any biotechnological application record for production of biofuels from these species. Ethanol production achieved 4.7 to 14.0 g L-1 and the fermentative efficiency up to 69%. The bioconversion process of xylose (contained in hemicellulose hydrolysates) to ethanol appears as natural perspective for eventual application of selected yeasts.
