Xylose-utilising yeasts were screened to identify strains with high xylose transport capacity. Among the fastest-growing strains in xylose medium, Candida intermedia PYCC 4715 showed the highest xylose transport capacity. Maximal specific growth rate was the same in glucose and xylose media (mu(max)=0.5 h-1, 30 degrees C). Xylose transport showed biphasic kinetics when cells were grown in either xylose- or glucose-limited culture. The high-affinity xylose/proton symport system (Km = 0.2 mM, Vmax = 7.5 mmol h-1 g-1) was more repressed by glucose than by xylose. The less specific low-affinity transport system (K = 50 mM, Vmax = 11 mmol h-1 g-1) appeared to operate through a facilitated-diffusion mechanism and was expressed constitutively. Inhibition experiments showed that glucose is a substrate of both xylose transport systems.
筛选利用木糖的酵母以鉴定具有高木糖转运能力的菌株。在木糖培养基中生长最快的菌株中,中间假丝酵母PYCC 4715表现出最高的木糖转运能力。在葡萄糖和木糖培养基中的最大比生长速率相同(μ(max)=0.5 h-1,30℃)。当细胞在木糖或葡萄糖限制培养中生长时,木糖转运呈现双相动力学。高亲和力木糖/质子同向转运系统(Km = 0.2 mM,Vmax = 7.5 mmol h-1 g-1)受葡萄糖的抑制比受木糖的抑制更强。特异性较低的低亲和力转运系统(K = 50 mM,Vmax = 11 mmol h-1 g-1)似乎通过易化扩散机制起作用,并且组成性表达。抑制实验表明葡萄糖是两种木糖转运系统的底物。
