This study aimed to develop a yeast-based microbial cell factory for efficient and sustainable production of heme. To this end, first, Hem12p (uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase) was identified as the rate-limiting enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway present in Saccharomyces cerevisiae D452-2. Next, we investigated the effects of disruption of the genes involved in the competition for heme biosynthesis precursors, transcriptional repression, and heme degradation (HMX1) on heme production efficiency. Of the knock-out strains constructed in this study, only the HMX1-deficient strain produced heme at a higher concentration than the background strain without gene disruption. In addition, overexpression of PUG1 encoding a plasma membrane transporter involved in protoporphyrin IX (the precursor to heme biosynthesis) uptake led to a significant increase in intracellular heme concentration. As a result, among the various engineered strains constructed in this study, the ΔHMX1/H3&12 + PUG1 strain, the HMX1-deficient strain overexpressing HEM3, HEM12, and PUG1, produced the highest concentration of heme (4.6 mg/L) in batch fermentation, which was 3.9-fold higher than that produced by the wild-type D452-2 strain. In a glucose-limited fed-batch fermentation, the ΔHMX1/H3&12 + PUG1 strain produced 28 mg/L heme in 66 h.","PeriodicalId":134,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology Journal","volume":"19 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/biot.202400351","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142386601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, as an animal-derived material, it also causes safety concerns when used in medical applications. Gelatin is a partial hydrolysate of collagen, containing high amounts of hydroxyproline. This causes the material to form a thermally induced gel at ambient temperatures, a behavior also observed in GelMA. This temperature-dependent gelation requires precise temperature control during the bioprinting process to prevent the gelation of the material. To avoid safety concerns associated with animal-derived materials and reduce potential issues caused by thermal gelation, a recombinant human alpha-1 collagen I fragment was expressed in Komagataella phaffii without hydroxylation. The resulting protein was successfully modified with methacryloyl groups and underwent rapid photopolymerization upon ultraviolet light exposure. The developed material exhibited slightly slower polymerization and lower storage modulus compared to GelMA, while it showed higher stretchability. However, unlike the latter, the material did not undergo physical gelation at ambient temperatures, but only when cooled down to below 10°C, a characteristic that has not been described for comparable materials so far. This gelation was not caused by the formation of triple-helical structures, as shown by the absence of the characteristic peak at 220 nm in CD spectra. Moreover, the developed recombinant material facilitated cell adherence with high cell viability after crosslinking via light to a 3D structure. Furthermore, desired geometries could be easily printed on a stereolithographic bioprinter.","PeriodicalId":134,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology Journal","volume":"19 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/biot.202400393","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142386597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, producing multiple individual batches of monoclonal antibodies in an industrial setting is associated with significant costs. Therefore, it is attractive to produce oligoclonal antibodies by mixing multiple antibody-producing cell lines in a single batch to have only one upstream and downstream process. In this study, we selected four antibodies that target different toxins found in the venoms of various elapid snake species, such as mambas and cobras, and generated stable antibody-producing cell lines. Upon co-cultivation, we found the cell line ratios to be stable over 7 days. The purified oligoclonal antibody cocktail contained the anticipated antibody concentrations and bound to the target toxins as expected. These results thus provide a proof of concept for the strategy of mixing multiple cell lines in a single batch to manufacture tailored antivenoms recombinantly, which could be utilized for the treatment of snakebite envenoming and in other fields where oligoclonal antibody mixtures could find utility.","PeriodicalId":134,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology Journal","volume":"19 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/biot.202400348","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142386603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the natural resource constraints, microbial fermentation has emerged as a prominent trend. Schizochytrium sp., known to harbor the intact mevalonate acid (MVA) pathway, possesses the inherent capability to biosynthesize squalene. However, there is a dearth of reported key genes in both the MVA and the squalene synthesis pathways, along with the associated promoter elements for their modification. This study commenced by cloning and characterizing 13 endogenous promoters derived from transcriptome sequencing data. Subsequently, five promoters exhibiting varying expression intensities were chosen from the aforementioned pool to facilitate the overexpression of the squalene synthase gene squalene synthetase (SQS), pivotal in the MVA pathway. Ultimately, a transformed strain designated as SQS-3626, exhibiting squalene production 2.8 times greater than that of the wild-type strain, was identified. Finally, the optimization of nitrogen source concentrations and trace element contents in the fermentation medium was conducted.

Although not all particles have antimicrobial or regenerative properties, certain NPs show promise in enhancing wound healing by promoting tissue regeneration, reducing inflammation, and preventing infection.

Herein, the zinc oxide (ZnO)-MXene-Ag nanocomposite was prepared, and the conjugation of its three components was confirmed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) mapping analysis. In vitro analysis using the agar well diffusion technique demonstrated that ZnO-MXene-Ag nanocomposite exhibited high antimicrobial efficacy, significantly inhibiting Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Candida albicans, and showing enhanced potency when combined with tetracycline, resulting in a 2.6-fold increase against Staphylococcus and a 2.4-fold increase against Pseudomonas. The efficacy of nanocomposite-loaded carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) gel on wound healing was investigated using varying concentrations (0, 1, 5, and 10 mg/mL). Wound healing was monitored over 21 days, with results indicating that wounds treated with 1 mg/mL ZnO-MXene-Ag gel exhibited superior healing compared to the control group (0 mg/mL), with significant improvements noted from Day 3 onward. Conversely, higher concentrations (10 mg/mL) resulted in reduced healing efficiency, particularly notable on Day 15.

This study developed gradient boosted tree models to predict the Gibbs–Donnan and volume exclusion effects for amino acids and therapeutic monoclonal antibodies using simple molecular descriptors. The models’ predictions were interpreted by information gain and Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) values to understand the modes of action of the antibodies and excipients and to validate the models.

The models were validated in pilot-scale manufacturing runs of two antibody products requiring high levels of concentration.

Despite its biotechnological importance, several aspects of the dynamics of its metabolism remain elusive. Here, we construct and validate a genome-scale metabolic network model for H. elongata 153B. Then, we investigate the flux distribution dynamics during optimal growth, ectoine, and PHA biosynthesis using statistical methods, and a pipeline based on shadow prices. Lastly, we use optimization algorithms to uncover novel engineering targets to increase PHA production. The resulting model (iEB1239) includes 1534 metabolites, 2314 reactions, and 1239 genes. iEB1239 can reproduce growth on several carbon sources and predict growth on previously unreported ones. It also reproduces biochemical phenotypes related to Oad and Ppc gene functions in ectoine biosynthesis. A flux distribution analysis during optimal ectoine and PHA biosynthesis shows decreased energy production through oxidative phosphorylation. Furthermore, our analysis unveils a diverse spectrum of metabolic alterations that extend beyond mere flux changes to encompass heightened precursor production for ectoine and PHA synthesis. Crucially, these findings capture other metabolic changes linked to adaptation in hypersaline environments. Bottlenecks in the glycolysis and fatty acid metabolism pathways are identified, in addition to PhaC, which has been shown to increase PHA production when overexpressed. Overall, our pipeline demonstrates the potential of genome-scale metabolic models in combination with statistical approaches to obtain insights into the metabolism of H. elongata.
