tailieunhanh - The effect of hyperosmotic stress and nitrogen starvation on growth and β galactosidase synthesis in Kluyveromyces lactis and Kluyveromyces marxianus

Kluyveromyces lactis and Kluyveromyces marxianus are industrial yeasts widely used in the production of the β-galactosidase enzyme. Biosynthesis of β-galactosidase is controlled by glucose repression. In this study it was demonstrated that the derepression of β-galactosidase biosynthesis in these yeast strains is inhibited by high osmotic stress. | Turk J Biol 32 (2008) 175-180 © TÜB‹TAK The Effect of Hyperosmotic Stress and Nitrogen Starvation on Growth and β-Galactosidase Synthesis in Kluyveromyces lactis and Kluyveromyces marxianus Sezai TÜRKEL, Elif ARIK, Sinem GÜZELVARDAR Department of Biology, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Uluda¤ University, 16059 Bursa - TURKEY Received: Abstract: Kluyveromyces lactis and Kluyveromyces marxianus are industrial yeasts widely used in the production of the β-galactosidase enzyme. Biosynthesis of β-galactosidase is controlled by glucose repression. In this study it was demonstrated that the derepression of β-galactosidase biosynthesis in these yeast strains is inhibited by high osmotic stress. It was found that the β-galactosidase activity of K. lactis and K. marxianus remained approximately at the repressed level when these yeast cells were subjected to NaCl-, KCl-, or sucrose-induced high osmotic stress. Derepression of β-galactosidase biosynthesis seems to be more sensitive to high osmotic stress in K. marxianus than in K. lactis. In addition, it was shown that nitrogen starvation resulted in a significant decrease in the level of β-galactosidase biosynthesis in K. lactis, while nitrogen starvation led to a 2-fold increase in β-galactosidase biosynthesis in K. marxianus. Results of this study indicated that high levels of NaCl, but not sucrose, inhibited the growth of K. lactis and K. marxianus.
