Patulin is a mycotoxin having ability in carcinogenesis, teratogenesis, mutagenesis and immunosupression. Penicillium expansum was proved to be the most important patulin-producing fungus in apple and apple products. Microorganisms that have ability in inhibiting Penicillium expansum have great potential in biocontrol of. P. expansium. The study aimed at searching antagonistic actinomycetes and evaluating their potential in biocontrol of P. expansium. Stability and conditions for production of the active components were also studied to get further information on practical application. Main contents and results of the study were listed as followings:(1)154 strains of actinomycetes were isolated from soil of apple orchard, kiwifruit orchard and vegetable orchard in Yangling Shaanxi province. Four strains of antagonistic actinomycetes named P50,C11,C16,C60 respectively were selected by prescreening for further screening, because they had high ability in inhibiting the growth of three strains of patulin-producing pecillium on the agar medium. Strain C16 was finally sreened out from four strains for further study on production and properties of active components because it showed the greatest inhibition ability to three patulin-producing P. expansium, and its average inhibitory diameter is 2.33cm in agar plate tests.(2)Actinomycetes C16 was classified and identified on the basis of morphologic and physi-biochemical characteristics and the analysis of 16 SrDNA sequence. It was identified as as a new species of the Genus of Micropolyspora, the Family of Micromonosporaceae, and the Order of Actinomycetale. It was named as Micropolyspora.C16 and patented as the code of CCTCC M207210.(3)The compositiona of media for cultivation seed of Actinomycetes CCTCC M207210 was optimized at 20.0 maltose g/L, 2.0 yeasty protein g/L, 1.0 K2HPO4 g/L, 1.0 MgSO4 g/L, and 1.0 NaCl g/L. Nutrients of the media for fermentation were optimized by using the central composite design. Results showed the highest value of cell growth was obtained at 2.70 maltose g/100mL,0.26 yeast protein g/100mL,0.17 K2HPO4 g/100mL,0.14 MgSO4 g/100mL,and 0.15 NaCL g/100mL. (4)Conditions for liquid cultivation of Actinomycetes CCTCC M207210 were optimized by using the Box-Behnken design. Response Surface Designs was used to analyze the data. The optimal conditions were obtained at inoculum’s amount of 13.5%(v/v), initial pH of 7.4, rotation speed of 180rpm, temperature of 27.6℃, and medium volume of 125mL in 250mL shake flask. Under the optimal conditions, the highest value of dry cell weight (DCW) was predicted as 6.27 g/L.( 5 ) In order to investigate the stability of active components for inhibiting patulin-producing Penicillium, the cell-free liquid culture of Actinomycetes CCTCC M207210 was tested on its ability in inhibiting the growth of P. expansium and patulin production in agar media after being treated for a period at different temperature, pH, and ultraviolet radiation.The cell-free liquid culture was also used in apple fruits and apple juice inoculated with P. expansium to test its potential in biological controller. The liquid culture was very stable at 28oC and pH 5.7 (the nature pH) but not stable at higher temperatures and when pH was too acidic or too alkaline. The inhibiting ability of the liquid culture declined by 39.5% when it was kept at 100oC for 30min and was completely destroyed when the treatment was prolonged to 60min. Comparatively, alkaline condition (pH8 to 10) showed higher inhibiting ability than acidic condition (pH2 to 4). The liquid culture lost the inhibiting ability when it was exposed to ultraviolet radiation for 90min. The liquid culture showed the highest inhibition of rotten ratio by 25% in apple fruit which was sprinked with the liquid culture 120h after inoculation of P. expansium. The patulin production was reduced by 90% when the liquid culture was added in apple juice at ratio of 40%(v/v). Therefore, the liquid culture had great potential in inhibiting the growth and patulin production of P. expansium.

Preliminary research revealed that the content of trehalose and the specific glucose consumption rate of free yeast cells were significantly improved by inoculating wood chips with yeast cells immobilized onto them. But the reason and mechanism of this phenomenon have not been explored.In this study, the ethanol tolerance of yeast cells was evaluated directly to examine the deduction in the preliminary research. It was found that the viability of free yeast cells in wood-chips-packing system was twice as high as that for no-packing system, which verified the previous deduction that the ethanol tolerance of free yeast cells in wood-chips-packing system was improved.Effects of inoculation and fermented broth as well as extract from the wood chips were further investigated to explore the mechanistic reason for this phenomenon. It was indicated that the increase of ethanol tolerance was not due to the difference of inoculation. The result demonstrated that the ethanol tolerance of the free yeast cells was improved by some compounds in the broth but the compound(s) was not from wood chips. Experiment results revealed that the ethanol tolerance of the yeast cells was improved by some compounds in the broth released from immobilized yeast cells, which might be related to some microorganism multi-cellular behavior.The effect of ethanol stress on the release of the compound(s) was further investigated. It was observed that the specific glucose consumption rates of yeast cells in the wood-chips-packing and no-packing systems were quite close to each other when the initial ethanol concentration in the medium was controlled at 0% or 4% (v/v). The specific glucose consumption rate of yeast cells in the wood-chips-packing system was about 10% higher than that in the no-packing system for an initial ethanol concentration of 8% (v/v). No significant difference was found in the viability of yeast cells between two systems under low ethanol condition (1.6%, v/v). These results revealed that the behavior that immobilized cells released some compounds to increase their ethanol tolerance is stress (ethanol)-dependent. This behavior of yeast cells might be an active response to the condition of ethanol stress.The effect of carrier on the release of the compound(s) was also investigated. The phenomenon of ethanol tolerance increasing for wood-chips-packing system was not observed when standard Ceramic Raschig Rings were used as carrier. The structure of wood chips was further analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was suggested that the structure of yeast cell population might play an important role in the release of the compound(s) that can increase the ethanol tolerance of yeast cells. This feature is similar to those reported on microorganism multi-cellular behavior.Finally, the contents of trehalose and ergosterol (including free ergosterol and total ergosterol) and the plasma membrane ATPase activities of yeast cells in two systems were compared to investigate the mechanism of ethanol tolerance improvement. It was found that the contents of trehalose and the plasma membrane ATPase activities of yeast cells in two systems were close to each other at a low ethanol condition (1.6%, v/v). The contents of trehalose and ergosterol (including free ergosterol and total ergosterol) and the plasma membrane ATPase activities of yeast cells in wood-chips-packing system was higher than those in no-packing system at a high ethanol condition (11.6%, v/v). It was supposed that stress response pathways already opened was further activated by the compound(s) released from immobilized yeast cells, which caused the improvement of ethanol tolerance of free yeast cells in the system.

Guanosine as known as 9-13-D-ribofuranosyl-guanine, is an important intermediate of foods and medicines. It can be used to synthesis 5′-disodium guanylate, disodium nucleotide and nucleoside antiviral drugs such as ribavirin, acyclovir. And it is the main material to manufacture Sodium Guanosine Triphosphate. As more and more enterprises are going to produce acyclovir, ribavirin and guanosine 5′-acid, the demand of guanosine is increasing quickly.With the goal of increasing the yield of guanosine, this study shows a mutant JSIM-GU-124-19 selected from Bacillus subtilis JSIM-G518, obtained from a production strain with protoplast mutation, which produced guanosine in a high yield after optimizing the fermentation condition. And the fed-batch fermentation and regulation of guanosine were studied. The main research and results are as follows:1. A fast and reliable method of obtaining protoplasts from JSIM-G518 which can produce guanosine is studied. The conditions of protoplast formation and the regeneration were determined through the analysis of enzyme concentration and temperature. The high-yield of protoplast is in 40 minute, 2.4 mg/mL (the final lysozyme concentration) at 36℃. The method of protoplasts mutagenesis is simple and effective, it can improve the production capacity and performance of bacteria in a short time. The paper electrophoresis display that fermentation both contain guanosine and guanine, so in order to obtain a high-yield guanosine strain we have to gain a mutant which lacks nucleoside hydrolyase through protoplasts mutagenesis. At the same time a mutant with SGr, Psir was obtained, the mutant could produce guanosine 24.0 g/L, which increased by 30% of the original strain.2. The optimizations of medium and fermentation conditions for the production of guanosine by the mutant JSIM-GU-124-19 were carred out on the basis of single factor experiments and response surface methodology. The optimal conditions were: pH 6.4, temperature 36℃, dissolved oxygen 40%, inoculation time 10 h. The optimized medium was: glucose 12.5%, yeast powder 1.4%, (NH4)2SO4 1.5%, MgSO4 0.5%, KH2PO4 0.4%, Sodium Glutamate (MSG) 1.0%, CaCl2 0.2%, soybean digest 4.0 mL/dL, corn steep liquor1.7 mL/dL, CaCO3 2.0%. The yield of guanosine was increased to 28.3 g/L after optimization.3. The fed-batch fermentation and regulation of guanosine were studied and the flow mode and concentration of Sodium Glutamate and Dioxane were established. The experiments show that adding 0.25%Sodium Glutamate can reduce the cost of raw materials. In 30 h adding the final concentration of 100 mg/L Dioxane can short the fermentation period.
