유당발효 효모인 Kluyveromyces lactis ATCC 8585를 이용하여 유청에서 과일향 풍미성분의 생산성을 향상시키기 위하여 3차에 걸처 NTG를 처리하고 geraniol의 항균력에 내성을 지니는 변이주 중 모균주에 비해 yeasty-flavor는 약하나 fruity-flavor가 강한 변이주를 선발하고 K.lactis 450 K라 명명하였다. 3일간 배양시킨 발효액을 pentane-dichloromethane(2:1)용매로 추출하여 얻은 oleoresin을 gas chromatography로 분석한 결과, 모균주보다 변이주가 더 많은 종류와 양의 향기성분을 생산한 것으로 나타났다.

An extremely thermostable xylanase gene, xynB, from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima MSB8 was successful expressed in Kluyveromyces lactis. The response surface methodology (RSM) was also applied to optimize the medium components for the production of XynB secreted by the recombinant K. lactis. The secretion level (102 mg/l) and enzyme activity (49 U/ml) of XynB in the optimized medium (yeast extract, lactose, and urea; YLU) were much higher than those (56 mg/l, 16 U/ml) in the original medium (yeast extract, lactose, and peptone; YLP). The secretory efficiency of mature XynB was also improved when using the YLU medium. When the mRNA levels of 13 characterized secretion-related genes in the K. lactis cultured in YLP and YLU were detected using a semiquantitative RT-PCR method, the unfolded protein response (UPR)-related genes, including ero1, hac1, and kar2, were found to be up-regulated in the K. lactis cultured in YLU. Therefore, the nutrient ingredients, especially the nitrogen source, were shown to have a significant influence on the XynB secretory efficiency of the host K. lactis.

This paper investigates the production and optimization of $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme using synthetic medium by Kluyveromyces lactis NRRL Y-8279 in stirred tank bioreactor. Response surface methodology was used to investigate the effects of fermentation parameters on $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme production. Maximum specific enzyme activity of 4,622.7 U/g was obtained at the optimum levels of process variables (aeration rate 2.21 vvm, agitation speed 173.4 rpm, initial sugar concentration 33.8 g/L, incubation time 24.0 hr). The optimum temperature and pH of the $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme produced under optimized conditions were $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. The enzyme was stable over a pH range of 6.0-7.5 and a temperature range of $25-37^{\circ}C$. The $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values for O-nitrophenol-$\beta$-D-galactopyranoside (ONPG) were 1.20 mM and $1,000\;{\mu}mol/min{\cdot}mg$ protein, respectively. The response surface methodology was found to be useful in optimizing and determining the interactions among process variables in $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme production. Hence, this study fulfills the lack of using mathematical and statistical techniques in optimizing the $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme production in stirred tank bioreactor.

β-1,3-glucanosyltransferases play essential roles in cell wall biosynthesis in yeast. Kluyveromyces lactis has six putative β-1,3-glucanosyltransferase genes. KlGAS1-1 and KlGAS1-2 are homologs of Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene GAS1. RT-qPCR indicated the transcription level of KlGAS1-1 was significantly reduced while heterologous protein (thermostable xylanase B) secretion was enhanced during medium optimization. To evaluate if these two events were related, and to improve xylanase B secretion in K. lactis, we constructed KlGAS1-1 and KlGAS1-2 single deletion strains and double deletion strain, respectively. KlGAS1-1 gene deletion resulted in the highest xylanase B activity among the three mutants. Only the double deletion strain showed morphology similar to that of the GAS1 deletion mutant in S. cerevisiae. The two single deletion strains differed in terms of cell wall thickness and xylanase B secretion. Transcription levels of β-1,3-glucanosyltransferase genes and genes related to protein secretion and transport were assayed. The β-1,3-glucanosyltransferase genes displayed transcription complementation in the cell wall synthesis process. KlGAS1-1 and KlGAS1-2 affected transcription levels of secretion- and transport-related genes. Differences in protein secretion ratio among the three deletion strains were associated with changes of transcription levels of secretion- and transport-related genes. Our findings indicate that KlGAS1-1 deletion is an effective tool for enhancing industrial-scale heterologous protein secretion in K. lactis.

Pnc1 converts nicotinamide to nicotinic acid to generate NAD⁺ through the Preiss-Handler pathway that is one of the NAD⁺-salvage pathway. By reducing levels of nicotinamide, an inhibitor of the NAD⁺-dependent histone deacetylase Sir2, yeast Pnc1 contributes gene silencing. In this study, to understand the structural features and molecular mechanism of nicotinamidase Pnc1, we overexpressed, purified, and crystallized the N-terminally His₆-tagged Pnc1 protein from Kluyveromyces lactis and obtained X-ray diffraction data at a resolution of 2.2 Å. The crystals of the K. lactis Pnc1 (KlPnc1) belonged to space group P2₁2₁2₁ with unit cell parameters a=38.5, b=77.3, c=83.3, and α=β=γ= 90°. There is one molecule in the asymmetric unit.

A galactooligosaccharide(GalOS)-producing yeast, OE-20 was selected from forty seven strains of yeast growing in Korean traditional Meju (cooked soybean) and the yeast was tentatively identified as Kluyveromyces maxianus var lactis by its morphology and fermentation profile. A maximum yield of 25.1%(w/w) GalOS, which corresponds to 25.1 g of GalOS per liter, was obtained from the reaction of 100 g per liter of lactose solution at 3$0^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0 for 18 h with an intracellular crude $\beta$-galactosidase. Glucose and galactosidase were found to inhibit GalOS formation. The GalOS that were purified by active carbon and celite 545 column chromatography were supplemented in MRS media and a stimulated growth was observed of some intestinal bacteria. In particular the growth rate of Bifidobacterium infantis in the GalOS containing MRS broth increased up to 12.5% compared to that of the MRS-glucose broth during a 48h incubation period.

치즈 제조시 생기는 부산물인 유청을 이용하여 알코올 발효 음료를 만들기 위해 유당을 이용하는 효모인 K. marxianus KCCM 32422와 유당을 이용하지 않는 S. cerevisiae KCCM 12028의 2종류의 효모 균주와 7균주의 젖산균을 혼합 배양하여 알코올 생성량 $CO_2\;gas$의 생산량, 적정산도의 변화, 그리고 관능적 특성을 조사하였다. K. marxianus KCCM 32422와 Lb. bulgaricus Lb-12를 혼합배양시에는 4일째 알코올 함량이 2.8%였으며, S. cerevisiae KCCM 12028과 Lb.bulgaricus Lb-12를 혼합배양시에는 4일째 알코올 함량이 0.2%였다. 효모를 첨가하는 최적시간은 K. marxianus KCCM 32422는 젖산균을 접종후 24시간에, S. cerevisiae KCCM 12028은 젖산균 접종후 16시간에 하는 것이 효과적이었다. K. marxianus KCCM 32422와 7균주의 젖산균을 혼합배양시에는 K. marxianus KCCM 32422와 L. lacis KCCM 32406가 배양 96시간에 알코올 2.3%, $CO_2\;gas$는 1.9%로 다른 젖산균에 비하여 알코올과 $CO_2\;gas$의 높은 생산량을 나타내었다. 배양 온도는 $37^{\circ}C$에서 하는 경우가 $20^{\circ}C,\;30^{\circ}C,\;42^{\circ}C$에서 발효시키는 것보다 높은 알코올과 $CO_2\;gas$생산량을 나타내었다. 전반적인 기호도는 L. lacits KCCM 32406가 신맛은 조금 강하고 쓴맛은 전혀 없으며 알코올 맛은 조금강하여 가장 적당하다고 평가되었다.

본 연구에서는 대두요구르트의 올리고당을 증가시키기 위해 장엽콩 및 진품콩으로 제조한 두유에 lactose를 첨가한 후 L. bulgaricus와 K. lactic를 혼합배양 하여 L. bulgaricus로 단독배양한 시료들과 비교하였다. Lactose를 첨가하지 않은 시료는 젖산발효에 의해 stachyose, raffinose, sucrose, glucose의 양이 모두 감소하였으나, lactose를 첨가하여 단독배양한 시료는 올리고당의 감소량이 lactose를 첨가하지 않은 시료보다 더 적었다. Lactose를 첨가한 장엽시료에서, 배양방법과 lactose 첨가농도별 stachyose와 raffinose의 증가량을 보면, 단독배양은 장엽두유의 양과 같거나 감소하였던 반면 혼합배양의 경우는 lactose를 2% 첨가하여 24시간 배양한 시료는 125.0%, 36시간 배양한 시료는 127.0% 증가하였으며 lactose를 4% 첨가하여 24시간 배양한 시료는 112.5%, 36시간 배양한 시료는 120%가 증가하였으므로 lactose를 2% 첨가한 장엽시료에서 올리고당의 생성량이 더 많았다. Lactose를 첨가한 진품시료에 있어서도 단독배양의 경우 진품두유보다 올리고당이 감소하였던 반면, 혼합배양의 경우는 lactose를 2% 첨가하여 24시간 배양한 시료는 118.0%, 36시간 배양한 시료는 141.0% 증가하였고 lactose 4%를 첨가하여 24시간 배양한 시료는 123.0%, 36시간 배양한 시료는 135.9% 증가하였으므로, 36시간 혼합 배양한 진품시료의 경우 lactose 2% 첨가한 시료에서 올리고당의 생성량이 더 많았다. 한편 대두품종별 혼합배양에 의한 올리고당 생성량을 보면 36시간 혼합 배양시 진품시료에서 장엽시료에서 보다 올리고당의 생성량이 더 많았다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, lactose를 첨가한 장엽 및 진품 대두요구르트의 발효과정에서 lactose가 분해되어 생성된 galactose는 효모(K. lactis)의 당전이력에 의해 sucrose와 결합하여 올리고당을 생성하였음을 알 수 있다.

Two knockout vectors, in which the truncated Kluyveromyces lactis URAS gene is flanked by a direct repeat, were developed for Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Each vector was designed to harbor 5'- and 3'-end homology regions for integration. Two knockout fragments were devised to integrate into the correct locus in a complementary manner to disrupt a gene of interest and. concomitantly to make functional Kl URA3 for transfomant selection. The use of dual complementary knockout cassettes was expected to dramatically reduce integration into unwanted loci in the genome. The knockout system developed in this study was successfully used for disruption of the GAL1 gene in S. cerevisiae.
