Bilin chromophore attachment to phycobiliproteins is an enzyme‐catalyzed post‐translational modification process. Bilin‐lyases attach a bilin chromophore to their cognate protein through a thioether bond between the chromophore and a cysteine moiety. Bilin chromophores are attached to their phycobiliproteins through the 31 carbon of the bilin. Double attachment may also occur, and in this case, carbons 31 and 181 of the bilin are both forming covalent linkages to cysteine moieties. There is a mass spectrometric limitation when examining tryptic peptides containing two (or more) cysteines if one seeks to ascertain whether chromopeptides are singly or doubly attached. The problem is that singly and doubly attached chromopeptides appear at the same m/z value; thus, up until the present, only NMR analysis has been successful at determining whether the chromophore is singly or doubly attached. We report in this work a new, fast and accurate method for discriminating singly from doubly attached chromophores using MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry. This method was developed from mass spectral analysis of chromopeptides that had undergone in vitro or in vivo attachment of bilin chromophores to phycobiliproteins. Distinction is based on a characteristic neutral loss that appears in the MALDI‐TOF mass spectrum only when the bilin is singly attached. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Simple and rapid quantitative determination of fatty-acid-based biofuels is greatly important for the study of genetic engineering progress for biofuels production by microalgae. Ideal biofuels produced from biological systems should be chemically similar to petroleum, like fatty-acid-based molecules including free fatty acids, fatty acid methyl esters, fatty acid ethyl esters, fatty alcohols and fatty alkanes. This study founded a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method for simultaneous quantification of seven free fatty acids, nine fatty acid methyl esters, five fatty acid ethyl esters, five fatty alcohols and three fatty alkanes produced by wild-type Synechocystis PCC 6803 and its genetically engineered strain. Data obtained from GC-MS analyses were quantified using internal standard peak area comparisons. The linearity, limit of detection (LOD) and precision (RSD) of the method were evaluated. The results demonstrated that fatty-acid-based biofuels can be directly determined by GC-MS without derivation. Therefore, rapid and reliable quantitative analysis of fatty-acid-based biofuels produced by wild-type and genetically engineered cyanobacteria can be achieved using the GC-MS method founded in this work. 相似文献

This paper deals with the approximation of nonlinear initial-value problems by difference methiods. in the Present part I The basic definitions and concepts are presented and equivalence theorems for stability and continuous convergenc are proved. Here, The differentiability condition (d) and the boundedness condition (Bp) are of fundamental siginificance. the latter is one of the equivalent characterizations of stability. The equivalence theorems for stability and continuous convergence include characterizations by means of locally uniform two-sided Lipschitz conditions and tow-sided discertization error estimates. At the end of part I a generalized of the concept of stable convergence of Dahlquist [2] and Torng [16] is proved to series of equivalent conditions convergence. in part II the above results will yields a series of equivalent conditions for the concepts of weak stability and conditions convergence of certain order. Moreover, further convergence concepts for semi-homogeneous methods will be studied, and hyperbolic and parawbolic example will be treated 相似文献

In the present paper, a critical overview of the most commonly used techniques for the characterization and the determination of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is given on the basis of 170 references (2000–2014). The analytical techniques used for CNT characterization (including microscopic and diffraction, spectroscopic, thermal and separation techniques) are classified, described, and illustrated with applied examples. Furthermore, the performance of sampling procedures as well as the available methods for the determination of CNTs in real biological and environmental samples are reviewed and discussed according to their analytical characteristics. In addition, future trends and perspectives in this field of work are critically presented. 相似文献

Croissamide, a proline-rich cyclic peptide that contains an N-prenylated tryptophan, was isolated from a marine cyanobacterium Symploca sp. Its gross structure was determined by spectroscopic analyses, and the absolute configuration was established based on chiral HPLC analyses of acid hydrolysates. 相似文献

Microalgae and cyanobacteria have shown significant potential for the development of the next biofuels innovation because of their own characteristics as photosynthetic microorganisms. However, it is confronted with a lot of severe challenges on the economic scaling-up of the microalgae- and cyanobacteria-based biofuels production. One of these major challenges is the lack of a reliable preventing and controlling culture system of biological contamination, which can attack the cell growth or product accumulation causing crashing effects. To increase the commercial viability of microalgae- and cyanobacteria-based biofuels production, overcoming the biological contaminations should be at the top of the priority list. Here, we highlight the importance of two categories of biological contaminations and their controlling strategies in the mass cultivations of microalgae and cyanobacteria, and outline the directions that should be exploited in the future. 相似文献

Biosynthesis‐Assisted Structural Elucidation of the Bartolosides,Chlorinated Aromatic Glycolipids from Cyanobacteria 下载免费PDF全文

The isolation of the bartolosides, unprecedented cyanobacterial glycolipids featuring aliphatic chains with chlorine substituents and C‐glycosyl moieties, is reported. Their chlorinated dialkylresorcinol (DAR) core presented a major structural‐elucidation challenge. To overcome this, we discovered the bartoloside (brt) biosynthetic gene cluster and linked it to the natural products through in vitro characterization of the DAR‐forming ketosynthase and aromatase. Bioinformatic analysis also revealed a novel potential halogenase. Knowledge of the bartoloside biosynthesis constrained the DAR core structure by defining key pathway intermediates, ultimately allowing us to determine the full structures of the bartolosides. This work illustrates the power of genomics to enable the use of biosynthetic information for structure elucidation. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to develop improved methodologies for bulk culturing of biotechnologically useful marine cyanobacteria
in the open ocean. We have investigated the viability of using coal fly ash (CFA) blocks as the support medium in a novel
floating culture system for marine microalgae. The marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. NKBG 040607 was found to adhere to floating CFA blocks in liquid culture medium. Maximum density of attached cells of
2.0×108 cells/cm2 was achieved using sea water. The marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. NKBG 042902 weaklyadhered to floating CFA blocks in BG-11 medium. Increasing the concentration of calcium ion in the
culture medium enhanced adherence to CFA blocks. 相似文献

Abstract A method for the detection of microcystins (microcystin LR, RR, and YR) in cyanobacteria by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry (LC/MS) has been developed. Supercritical fluids for the analytical extraction of nonvolatile, higher molecular weight compound, and microcystins from cyanobacteria were investigated. The microcystins included in this study are sparsely soluble in neat supercritical fluid CO2. However, the microcystins was successfully extracted with a ternary mixture (90% CO2, 9.5% methanol, 0.5% water) at 40°C and 250 atm. The polar carbon dioxide‐aqueous methanol fluid system gave high extraction efficiency for the extraction of the polar microcystins from cyanobacteria. The microcystins were determined by liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). 相似文献
