To evaluate the novel strategy of oleic acid and fungal elicitor (made from Aspergillus niger) to elicit betulinic acid biosynthesis in medicinal mushroom Inonotus obliquus, we conduct the stimulatory effects investigation for synthesizing betulinic acid from betulin. HPLC results indicated oleic acid and fungal elicitor were effective stimulators. The supplementation of 1.0 g/L oleic acid led to the highest increase of betulinic acid either in dry mycelia or fermentation broth by 2-fold of the control. Fungal elicitor at 45 mg/L markedly increases mycelia growth by 146.0% and enhance intracellular betulinic acid accumulation by 429.5% as compared to the controls. Quantification of transcription levels determined that oleic acid, fungal elicitor and their combinations could induce the expressions of key genes involved in betulinic acid biosynthesis, such as HMG-CoA reductase and squalene synthase. These findings indicated that oleic acid and fungal elicitor could enhance betulinic acid metabolism by up-regulating key genes expression.

Abstract The Bacillus subtilis H-8 independently screened by our laboratory can produce L-amino acid oxidase (L-AAO), and DL-arginine can be degraded asymmetrically by suspending the wet bacteria in the degradation liquid. By adding oxygen-vectors to the fermentation medium, the collected amount of wet bacteria can be increased. Taking n-dodecane, n-hexadecane, oleic acid, paraffin, and n-hexane as oxygen-vectors, the optimal oxygen-vector oleic acid was 1.2% (v/v). The weight of wet cells increased by 66.83% compared with before, and the activity of L-AAO in fermentation broth increased by 38.88% compared with before. The standard sample DL-arginine was derivatized by phenyl isothiocyanate, and then subjected to high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC), and the obtained peak area and arginine content were used as standard curves to measure the DL-arginine. The content of D-arginine and L-arginine in the initial degradation solution was 50% each, and the bacterial cells are added to the initial degradation solution of DL-arginine. After 21 hours of reaction, L-arginine was completely Degraded, remaining 47% of D-arginine.D-alanine was easily extracted from the reaction solution using cation-exchange resin,after centrifugation, decolorization, concentration and vacuum drying, and the chemical and optical purity of the extracted d-alanine was 92.68 and 97.46%, respectively.

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) with substantial lipid and oleic acid content is of great interest to rapeseed breeders. Overexpression of Glycine max transcription factors Dof4 and Dof11 increased lipid accumulation in Arabidopsis and microalgae, in addition to modifying the quantity of certain fatty acid components. Here, we report the involvement of GmDof4 and GmDof11 in regulating fatty acid composition in rapeseeds. Overexpression of GmDof4 and GmDof11 in rapeseed increased oleic acid content and reduced linoleic acid and linolenic acid. Both qPCR and the yeast one-hybrid assay indicated that GmDof4 activated the expression of FAB2 by directly binding to the cis-DNA element on its promoters, while GmDof11 directly inhibited the expression of FAD2. Thus, GmDof4 and GmDof11 might modify the oleic acid content in rapeseed by directly regulating the genes that are associated with fatty acid biosynthesis.
