Abstract
During the Agaricus bisporus canning processes, a large number of water-soluble elements were dissolved into the processing hot water. This study was conducted to use the industrial wastewater of A. bisporus to prepare agricultural microbial fertilizer. In the work, the influence of 6 different liquid fermentation factors on the total biomass of living Bacillus cereus was evaluated with the one-factor-at-a-time method and the Plackett-Burman design. The total biomass of living B. cereus was most influenced by fermentation temperature, shaking speed, and inoculation volume, which were identified as the most critical independent variables for the B. cereus biomass. The approximate ranges of optimal fermentation conditions for the three key factors were identified by the path of steepest ascent. The center point of these factors were 24 ℃ of temperature, 250 rpm of shaking speed and 12 % inoculum amount, respectively. The Box-Behnken design was applied to derive a statistical model for optimizing the three fermentation factors for B. cereus biomass. After further optimizations based on statistical predictions, the optimum fermentation parameters for B. cereus cultured in the A. bisporus industrial wastewater were fermentation temperature of 24.8 °C, shaking speed of 234 rpm, inoculum dose of 12.2 % (v:v, %), industrial wastewater concentration of 4%, initial pH values of 6.5, loading liquid of 60 mL/250 mL, and culture time of 24 h. Culturing with the optimal fermentation conditions resulted in the biomass of B. cereus of 1.35 ± 0.02 × 109 Obj/mL (N = 3), which was consistent with the predicted values (1.32 × 109 Obj/mL) predicted by the corresponding regression models (p < 0.05), and more, was also far higher than that of the standard of agricultural bacterial fertilizers in People's Republic of China. Further, the results of field trial indicated that the of B. cereus liquid fertilizer can remarkably enhance the yield of Brassica chinensis L. It is practicable to make use of the industrial wastewater of A. bisporus to prepare the microbial fertilizer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thermostable enzymes have several advantages over their mesophilic counterparts for industrial applications. However, trade-offs such as thermal instability of enzyme substrates or co-factors exist. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an important co-factor in many enzyme-catalyzed oxidation-reduction reactions. This compound spontaneously decomposes at elevated temperatures and basic pH, a property that limits catalysis of NAD+/NADH-dependent bioconversions using thermostable enzymes to short timeframes. To address this issue, an "in vitro metabolic pathway" for salvage synthesis of NAD+ using six thermophilic enzymes was constructed to resynthesize NAD+ from its thermal decomposition products at high temperatures. RESULTS An integrated strain, E. coli DH5α (pBR-CI857, pGETS118-NAD+), that codes for six thermophilic enzymes in a single operon was constructed. Gene-expression levels of these enzymes in the strain were modulated by their sequential order in the operon. An enzyme solution containing these enzymes was prepared by the heat purification from the cell lysate of the integrated strain, and used as an enzyme cocktail for salvage synthesis of NAD+. The salvage activity for synthesis of NAD+ from its thermal decomposition products was found to be 0.137 ± 0.006 µmol min-1 g-1 wet cells. More than 50% of this initial activity remained after 24 h at 60 °C. The enzyme cocktail could maintain a NAD+ concentration of 1 mM for 12 h at 60 °C. Furthermore, this enzyme cocktail supported continuous NAD+/NADH-dependent redox reactions using only NAD+/NADH derived from host cells, without the need for addition of external NAD+. CONCLUSIONS The integrated strain allows preparation of an enzyme cocktail that can solve the problem of NAD+ instability at high temperatures. The strain simplifies preparation of the enzyme cocktail, and thus expands the applicability of the in vitro metabolic engineering method using thermostable enzymes. Further optimization of gene expressions in the integrated strain can be achieved by using various types of ribosome binding sites as well as promoters.

Abstract
Acrylonitrile (C3H3N) widely used in chemical raw materials has biological toxicity with -CN bond, so it is the key to removal of cyanide from acrylonitrile wastewater. In our previous research and investigation, a strain was identified as Arthrobacter nitroguajacolicus named ZJUTB06-99 and was proved to be capable of degrading acrylonitrile. In this paper, the strain ZJUTB06-99 was domesticated with acrylonitrile-containing medium and its decyanidation and denitrification in simulated acrylonitrile wastewater were studied. The intermediate product of acrylonitrile in degradation process was identified through gas chromatography-mass spectrometer, as well as the biodegradation pathway of acrylonitrile in wastewater was deduced tentatively. The kinetics equation of biodegradation of acrylonitrile was lnC = - 0.1784t + 5.3349, with the degradation half-life of acrylonitrile in wastewater by 3.885 h. The results of this study showed that the optimum levels of temperature, pH and bacteria concentration to attain the maximum biodegradation were obtained as 30 °C, 6 and 100 g/L, respectively. The disadvantages of the biodegradation with this strain and its possible enhanced method to degrade acrylonitrile in wastewater were also discussed.

Abstract
In the present study, conditions for Bacillus mucilaginous fermentation using Agaricus bisporus wastewater as culture medium were optimized. We analyzed the total number of living B. mucilaginous in the fermentation broth using multispectral imaging flow cytometry. Single-factor experiments were carried out, where a Plackett–Burman design was used to screen out three factors from the original six factors of processing wastewater solubility, initial pH, inoculum size, liquid volume, culture temperature, and rotation speed that affected the total number of viable B. mucilaginous. The Box–Behnken response surface method was used to optimize interactions between the three main factors and predict optimal fermentation conditions. Factors significantly affecting the total number of viable B. mucilaginous, including shaking speed, culturing temperature, and initial pH, were investigated. The optimum conditions for B. mucilaginous fermentation in A. bisporus wastewater were a rotational speed of 195 rpm, culture temperature of 29 °C, initial pH of 6.5, solubility of 0.5%, 8% inoculation volume, and 90 mL liquid volume in a 250 mL flask, culture time of 48 h. Under these conditions, the concentration of total viable bacteria reached 2.16 ± 0.02 × 108 Obj/mL, which meets the national standard. A. bisporus wastewater can be used for the cultivation of B. mucilaginous.

Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis Utilizes a Four-Step Pathway for NAD + Salvage through Nicotinamide Deamination. J Bacteriol 2018; 200:JB.00785-17. [PMID: 29555696 DOI: 10.1128/jb.00785-17] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2017] [Accepted: 02/28/2018] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Many organisms possess pathways that regenerate NAD+ from its degradation products, and two pathways are known to salvage NAD+ from nicotinamide (Nm). One is a four-step pathway that proceeds through deamination of Nm to nicotinic acid (Na) by Nm deamidase and phosphoribosylation to nicotinic acid mononucleotide (NaMN), followed by adenylylation and amidation. Another is a two-step pathway that does not involve deamination and directly proceeds with the phosphoribosylation of Nm to nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), followed by adenylylation. Judging from genome sequence data, the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis is supposed to utilize the four-step pathway, but the fact that the adenylyltransferase encoded by TK0067 recognizes both NMN and NaMN also raises the possibility of a two-step salvage mechanism. Here, we examined the substrate specificity of the recombinant TK1676 protein, annotated as nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase. The TK1676 protein displayed significant activity toward Na and phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) and only trace activity with Nm and PRPP. We further performed genetic analyses on TK0218 (quinolinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase) and TK1650 (Nm deamidase), involved in de novo biosynthesis and four-step salvage of NAD+, respectively. The ΔTK0218 mutant cells displayed growth defects in a minimal synthetic medium, but growth was fully restored with the addition of Na or Nm. The ΔTK0218 ΔTK1650 mutant cells did not display growth in the minimal medium, and growth was restored with the addition of Na but not Nm. The enzymatic and genetic analyses strongly suggest that NAD+ salvage in T. kodakarensis requires deamination of Nm and proceeds through the four-step pathway.IMPORTANCE Hyperthermophiles must constantly deal with increased degradation rates of their biomolecules due to their high growth temperatures. Here, we identified the pathway that regenerates NAD+ from nicotinamide (Nm) in the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis The organism utilizes a four-step pathway that initially hydrolyzes the amide bond of Nm to generate nicotinic acid (Na), followed by phosphoribosylation, adenylylation, and amidation. Although the two-step pathway, consisting of only phosphoribosylation of Nm and adenylylation, seems to be more efficient, Nm mononucleotide in the two-step pathway is much more thermolabile than Na mononucleotide, the corresponding intermediate in the four-step pathway. Although NAD+ itself is thermolabile, this may represent an example of a metabolism that has evolved to avoid the use of thermolabile intermediates.
