| Abstract | -cysteine is a precursor of the penicillin, cephalosporin and cephamycin families of β-lactam antibiotics. Cystathionine-γ-lyase (encoded by the mecB gene), an enzyme that splits cystathionine releasing cysteine, is required for high-level cephalosporin production in methionine-supplemented medium. By amplification of the mecB gene in Acremonium chrysogenum C10, several transformants were obtained that produced 10-40% higher levels of cephalosporin. All selected transformants contained at least two or three copies of the mecB gene as shown by Southern hybridization with a probe internal to mecB. Two of these transformants, A. chrysogenum T27 and A. chrysogenum T58, showed 4- to 10-fold higher cystathionine-γ-lyase activity than the control strain. Northern hybridizations indicated that the levels of the two mecB transcripts of 1.7 and 1.5 kb were greatly increased in transformants T27 and T58. Fermentor studies using controlled conditions confirmed that transformant T27 was a cephalosporin overproducer, reaching titers of nearly 2000 μg/ml of cephalosporin in Shen-defined medium that correlated with two- to fourfold higher cystathionine-γ-lyase levels than in the control strain. Transformant T58 containing five- to sixfold higher levels of cystathionine-γ-lyase in fermentor cultures showed a reduced growth rate and a slow cephalosporin accumulation rate. In conclusion, moderately increased levels of cystathionine-γ-lyase stimulated cephalosporin production but very high levels of this enzyme were deleterious for growth and cephalosporin biosynthesis.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
