NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD-GDH, EC 1.4.1.2) from a non-pathogenic dimorphic zygomycete Benjaminiella poitrasii was previously reported to be an important biochemical correlate of the transition process. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity and characterized. It is a 371 kDa native molecular weight protein made up of four identical subunits. Kinetic studies showed that unlike other NAD-GDHs, it may act as an anabolic enzyme and has more affinity towards 2-oxoglutarate than l-glutamate. Chemical modifications revealed the involvement of single histidine and lysine residues in the catalytic activity of the enzyme. The phosphorylation and dephosphorylation study showed that the NAD-GDH is present in active phosphorylated form in hyphal cells of B. poitrasii. Two of the 1,2,3 triazole linked beta-lactam-bile acid conjugates synthesized in the laboratory (B18, B20) were found to be potent inhibitors of purified NAD-GDH which also significantly affected Y-H transition in B. poitrasii. Furthermore, the compound B20 inhibited germ tube formation during Y-H transition in Candida albicans strains and Yarrowia lipolytica. The possible use of NAD-GDH as a target for antifungal agents is discussed.</p>10aAntifungal agent10aBenjaminiella poitrasii10aBiochemical correlate of dimorphism10aCandida albicans10aNAD-GDH activity regulation10aYarrowia lipolytica10aYeast-hypha reversible transition1 aJoshi, C., V.1 aPathan, E., K.1 aPunekar, N., S.1 aTupe, S., G.1 aKapadnis, B., P.1 aDeshpande, Mukund, V.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/biochemical-correlate-dimorphism-zygomycete-benjaminiella-poitrasii-characterization-002384nas a2200241   4500008004100000022001400041245007700055210006900132260005700201300001200258490000800270520154200278653002601820653002401846653003001870100002001900700002101920700002101941700002301962700002101985700002602006856011002032       2014                        eng d  a0302-893300aDimorphism and hydrocarbon metabolism in Yarrowia lipolytica var. indica0 aDimorphism and hydrocarbon metabolism in Yarrowia lipolytica var  a233 SPRING ST, NEW YORK, NY 10013 USAbSPRINGERcAUG  a545-5560 v1963 a<p>Yarrowia lipolytica is able to metabolize high Mr hydrophobic natural compounds such as fatty acids and hydrocarbons. Characteristically, strains of Y. lipolytica can grow as populations with variable proportions of yeast and filamentous forms. In the present study, we describe the dimorphic characteristics of a variant designated as Y. lipolytica var. indica isolated from petroleum contaminated sea water and the effect of cell morphology on hydrocarbon metabolism. The variant behaved as a yeast monomorphic strain, under conditions at which terrestrial Y. lipolytica strain W29 and its derived strains, grow as almost uniform populations of mycelial cells. Using organic nitrogen sources and N-acetylglucosamine as carbon source, var. indica was able to form mycelial cells, the proportion of which increased when incubated under semi-anaerobic conditions. The cell surface characteristics of var. indica and W29 were found to be different with respect to contact angle and percent hydrophobicity. For instance, percent hydrophobicity of var. indica was 89.93 +/- A 1.95 while that of W29 was 70.78 +/- A 1.1. Furthermore, while all tested strains metabolize hydrocarbons, only var. indica was able to use it as a carbon source. Yeast cells of var. indica metabolized hexadecane with higher efficiency than the mycelial form, whereas the mycelial form of the terrestrial strain metabolized the hydrocarbon more efficiently, as occurred with the mycelial monomorphic mutant AC11, compared to the yeast monomorphic mutant AC1.</p>10aHexadecane metabolism10aYarrowia lipolytica10aYeast-mycelium transition1 aPalande, A., S.1 aKulkarni, S., V.1 aLeon-Ramirez, C.1 aCampos-Gongora, E.1 aRuiz-Herrera, J.1 aDeshpande, Mukund, V.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/dimorphism-and-hydrocarbon-metabolism-yarrowia-lipolytica-var-indica-002462nas a2200277   4500008004100000022001400041245015600055210006900211260000900280300001200289490000800301520151800309653001401827653000901841653003201850653001401882653002201896653002401918100001701942700002001959700002001979700001601999700002102015700002202036856012602058       2018                        eng d  a0360-544200aOptimization of the in situ transesterification step for biodiesel production using biomass of Yarrowia lipolytica NCIM 3589 grown on waste cooking oil0 aOptimization of the in situ transesterification step for biodies  cJAN   a944-9520 v1423 a<p>The in situ (one-step) acid-catalyzed transesterification step for conversion to biodiesel of biomass from oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica grown on waste cooking oil (WCO) is studied. The process yield of biodiesel was optimized by investigating effects of various parameters, namely, biomass, methanol, chloroform, catalyst, temperature, time and sonication. A Plackett-Burman statistical design of experiments revealed that biomass is the most significant factor influencing biodiesel (FAME, fatty acid methyl ester) production. Subsequently, a one variable design (OVD) of experiments for increased biomass loadings showed higher yields of FAME with no additional requirement of reactants, solvents or special equipment. The biomass grown on WCO had a lipid productivity of 0.042 g L-1 h(-1) and 4 g of this loading gave a high FAME yield of 0.88 gin 8 hat 50 degrees C with methanol: chloroform (10:1) and acid catalyst (0.2 M H2SO4,1.0 ml g(-1)). The FAME profile had desirable amounts of saturated (32.81%), monounsaturated (36.41%), polyunsaturated (30.59%) methyl esters. The predicted and experimentally determined physico-chemical properties of FAME were found in accordance with specified international standards. Thus, the direct one-pot in situ transesterification reaction using Y. lipolytica biomass grown on WCO provides a high yield of biodiesel with potential applicability while simultaneously addressing the management of this pollutant.

	The recombinant Yleh from a tropical marine yeast Yarrowia lipolytica NCIM 3589 exhibited a high epoxide hydrolase activity of 9.34 +/- 1.80 mu mol min(-1) mg(-1) protein towards 1,2-epoxyoctane (EO), at pH 8.0 and 30 degrees C. The reaction product was identified as 1,2-Octanediol (OD) by GC-MS using EO and H2O18 as substrate, affirming the functionality of Yleh as an epoxide hydrolase. For EO, the K-m, V-max, and k(cat)/K-m values were 0.43 +/- 0.017 mM, 0.042 +/- 0.003 mM min(-1), and 467.17 +/- 39.43 mM(-1) min(-1), respectively. To optimize the reaction conditions for conversion of racemic EO by Yleh catalyst to enantiopure (R)-1,2-octanediol, initially, Response Surface Methodology was employed. Under optimized reaction conditions of 15 mM EO, 150 mu g purified Yleh at 30 degrees C a maximal diol production of 7.11 mM was attained in a short span of 65 min with a yield of 47.4%. Green technology using deep eutectic solvents for the hydrophobic substrate (EO) were tested as co-solvents in Yleh catalyzed EO hydrolysis. Choline chloride-Glycerol, produced 9.08 mM OD with an increased OD yield of 60.5%. Thus, results showed that deep eutectic solvents could be a promising solvent for Yleh-catalyzed reactions making Yleh a potential biocatalyst for the biosynthesis of enantiopure synthons.
