摘要：

Effects of different sugars on pullulan production, UDP-glucose level, and activities of alpha-phosphoglucose mutase, UDPG-pyrophosphorylase and glucosyltransferase in Aureobasidium pullulans Y68 were examined. It was found that more pullulan was produced when the yeast strain was grown in the medium containing glucose than when it was cultivated in the medium supplementing other sugars. Our results demonstrate that when more pullulan was synthesized, less UDP-glucose was left in the cells of A. pullulans Y68. However, it was observed that more pullulan was synthesized, the cells had higher activities of alpha-phosphoglucose mutase, UDI'G-pyrophosphorylase and glycosyl transferase. Therefore, high pullulan yield is related to high activities of alpha-phosplioglucose mutase, UDPG-pyrophosphorylase and glucosyltransferase in A. pullulans Y68 grown on different sugars. A pathway of pullulan biosynthesis in A. pullulan Y68 was proposed based on the results of this study and those from other researchers. This study will be helpful to metabolism-engineer the yeast strain to further enhance pullulan yield. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
