In bioproduction, yields of products must be calculated precisely for accurate evaluation of various fermentation conditions. To evaluate productivity of microorganisms, product amounts per unit of medium volume (e.g., mg-product/L-broth), and/or product amounts per unit of a microorganism amount (e.g., mg-product/mg-dry cell weight) are often used. Nonetheless, detailed procedures for calculation of these production yields are often omitted in research articles, whereas methods for product quantification are described well. Here, we describe a detailed calculation procedure from our previous studies on glutathione production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This procedure can be applied to various other products and microorganisms, and therefore, may prove to be useful in various other bioproduction studies.
Keywords: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (酿酒酵母), Glutathione (谷胱甘肽), GSH (GSH), GSSG (GSSG), Aggregated microorganisms (聚集的微生物)
Background
Glutathione is the most abundant thiol-containing tripeptide in all living organisms and functions as a bioactive substance with varied roles in cells, e.g., as redox and antidotal agents. Therefore, glutathione is widely used in the medical, food, and cosmetic industries nowadays, and the demand has increased in recent years. Glutathione is industrially produced mainly by fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which originally contains a high concentration of glutathione and has served as a safe, food-producing microorganism. Studies of microbial glutathione production in various microorganisms will become more important in the future. To evaluate the productivity in terms of glutathione via fermentation by various microorganisms, here we describe our detailed procedures of sample preparation, quantification of reduced and oxidized glutathione by high performance chromatography (HPLC), and calculations of two types of yield (Hara et al., 2012; Hara et al., 2015; Kiriyama et al., 2013; Kobayashi et al., 2017).

Procedure
- Glutathione production
- An S. cerevisiae strain was streaked with a disposable loop on the YPD solid medium and grown at 30 °C for 72 h.
- A single grown colony was inoculated into 5 ml of the YPD liquid medium in a 25 ml glass test tube closed with a tapered plug closure made of silicone sponge. The bacteria were aerobically grown with agitation at 200 rpm for 18 h at 30 °C.
- Transfer 50 μl of the grown yeast culture into a 1.5 ml microtube. Add 750 μl of ultrapure water and 200 μl of 500 mM EDTA to the 1.5 ml microtube and mix thoroughly by vortexing.
- Measure OD600 of this diluted yeast suspension in the EDTA solution.
- To determine OD600 of the original yeast preculture (ODPC), we multiplied the measured OD600 by 20 (dilution factor).
- The grown cells were inoculated into 20 ml of the YPD liquid medium in a 200 ml baffled Erlenmeyer flask plugged with a silicone sponge closure and were grown at 30 °C with agitation at 150 rpm for up to 48 h (Figure 1). The yeast cell culture volume (ml) for inoculation was calculated using the equation below. In the following equation, 20 and 0.03 indicate the total volume (μl) of the YPD liquid medium used for glutathione fermentation and the initial cell density (OD600), respectively.
- The yeast culture (1 ml) grown in a baffled Erlenmeyer flask was sampled at 24 and 48 h.
Figure 1. Schematic outline of glutathione production. A more detailed procedure is described in Procedure A.
- Determination of biomass concentration
- Cultivate yeast under the conditions described in Procedure A.
- Transfer 50 μl of the yeast culture (grown for glutathione production) into a 1.5 ml microtube. Add 200 μl of 500 mM EDTA and 750 μl of ultrapure water up to the 1.5 ml label in the microtube and mix thoroughly by vortexing.
- Measure OD600 of this diluted yeast suspension in an EDTA solution.
- To determine OD600 of the original yeast culture, multiply the measured OD600 by 20 (dilution factor).
- Centrifuge (16,000 x g, 10 min) all the yeast culture medium in 50 ml centrifuge tubes.
- Discard the supernatant and add 20 ml of room temperature ultrapure water to the cell pellet and thoroughly resuspend it by vortexing.
- Repeat this wash procedure one more time and re-pellet the cells.
- Add an adequate volume of 100 mM EDTA to the cell pellet to achieve optical density [at 600 nm (OD600) of the cell suspension] of approximately 1.0.
- Dilute the cell suspension with room temperature 100 mM EDTA to prepare 2-, 4-, 8-, and 16-fold diluted cell suspensions, and measure OD600 of these serial dilutions.
- Weigh empty open 50 ml centrifuge tubes and centrifuge (16,000 x g, 10 min) 20 ml of these cell suspensions in these tubes.
- Remove the supernatant and incubate the open centrifuge tube at 80 °C in a forced air flow oven overnight to dry the cells sufficiently.
- Weigh each 50 ml centrifuge tube with the dry cell pellet and calculate the weight of the dry cell pellet by subtracting the weight of the empty tube from the total weight (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Schematic outline of determination of biomass concentration. More detailed procedure is described in Procedure B.
- Construct a calibration curve for OD600 and biomass concentration ([g-dry cell weight]/[L-broth]). An example of a calibration curve is illustrated in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Example of calibration curve for OD600 and biomass concentration. Cells of S. cerevisiae GCI strain grown in YPD medium at 30 °C for 48 h were used for the construction of this calibration curve.
- Measurement of cell concentration and cell disruption
- Transfer 1 ml of the yeast culture grown for glutathione production in a 1.5 ml microtube. Add 250 μl of 500 mM EDTA to the 1.5 ml microtube and mix thoroughly by vortexing.
- Transfer 50 μl of this yeast culture containing 100 mM EDTA into a fresh 1.5 ml microtube. Add 950 μl of ultrapure water into the 1.5 ml microtube and mix thoroughly by vortexing.
- Measure OD600 of this diluted yeast suspension in the EDTA solution.
- To determine OD600 of the original yeast culture (ODC), multiply the measured OD600 by 25 (dilution factor).
- Centrifuge (16,000 x g, 1 min) 1.2 ml of the residual yeast culture in a 100 mM EDTA solution and resuspend the pellet in 1 ml of ultrapure water by vortexing.
- Repeat this wash procedure one more time and re-pellet the cells.
- Add an adequate volume (μl) of ultrapure water calculated by means of the equation below for the cell pellet and resuspend it well. In the following equation, 960 and 35 mean residual yeast culture volume (μl) without the EDTA solution, and OD600 that is optimal for glutathione determination, respectively.
- Transfer 980 μl of distilled water and 20 μl of the concentrated yeast cell suspension to a different 1.5 ml microtube and mix thoroughly.
- Measure OD600 of this diluted yeast cell suspension and multiply the measured OD600 by 50 (dilution factor) to obtain OD600 of the concentrated resuspended cells (ODR).
- To disrupt yeast cells, incubate the concentrated cell suspension at 95 °C for 3 min and then cool on ice for 3 min.
- Centrifuge (16,000 x g, 10 min) the disrupted cell suspension, and transfer 50 μl of the supernatant (solution containing cell content) to a new 1.5 ml microtube. The cell content solution can be stored at -20 °C before HPLC analysis (Figure 4). At least three samples per strain are needed for accurate measurements.
Figure 4. Schematic outline of measurement of cell concentration and cell disruption. A more detailed procedure is described in Procedure C.
- HPLC analysis
- Add 200 μl of the HPLC mobile phase to 50 μl of the cell content solution.
- Filter the 5-fold diluted cell content solution through the filter unit with 0.22 μm pore size to obtain an HPLC sample.
- Set each parameter as follows.
Pump: run time, 25 min; flow rate, 1 ml/min; maximum pressure, 20.0 MPa.
UV detector: deuterium arc lamp was used, response, 1.0 sec; internal temperature, 40 °C; wavelength, 210 nm.
Column oven: temperature, 30 °C; maximum temperature, 40 °C.
Auto sampler: injection volume, 20 μl; syringe speed, 15 μl/sec; flush volume, 200 μl; needle stroke, 52 mm; flush speed 35 μl/sec; temperature 10 °C. - Equilibrate the column to allow the mobile phase to flow for at least 90 min at a flow rate of 1 ml/min.
- Start analysis according to the HPLC manual to quantify reduced and oxidized glutathione in the HPLC sample. Examples of HPLC analysis are shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5. Examples of HPLC analysis. A. HPLC analysis of a sample containing 20 mg/L GSH and GSSG. B. HPLC analysis of a sample extracted from the S. cerevisiae GCI strain cells grown in the YPD medium at 30 °C for 48 h.
Data analysis
- Calculate cell concentration ([g-dry cell weight]/[L-broth]) from ODC and from the calibration curve of OD600 and biomass ([g-dry cell weight]/[L-broth]).
- Calculate the cell concentration rate by means of the following equation:
- Calculate volumetric glutathione production (VGP, mg/[L-broth]) via the following equation. In this equation, 5 means a dilution factor for the HPLC sample.
- Calculate glutathione content (GC) (mg/[mg-cells]) using the following equation:
Notes
- If the resolution of an ODS column decreased, and HPLC peaks of GSH and GSSG became difficult to separate. An increase in methanol concentration in the HPLC mobile phase may improve the separation of the peaks.
- In this protocol, the addition of EDTA to yeast culture is needed to measure OD600 accurately. EDTA inhibits lectin activity on the cell surface and consequently prevents cell aggregation. If EDTA was not added, OD600 of yeast decreased via aggregation as compared with the original figure.
- When 250 μl of 500 mM EDTA was added to 1,000 μl of the yeast culture medium, and 50 μl of this mixture (total volume was 1,250 μl) was used to measure OD600; 1,200 μl of this residual mixture consisted of 960 μl of the yeast culture medium and 240 μl of 500 mM EDTA. The value of 960 in the equation in Step C7 is this residual volume of the original yeast culture medium.
- In many cases, GSH and GSSG concentrations in an HPLC sample were within the calibration curve, when OD600 of the cell suspension before disruption was ~35. Therefore, this protocol contained this value of 35 in the calculation of the adequate volume of ultrapure water.

简介
在生物生产中,必须精确计算产品的产量,以准确评估各种发酵条件。 为了评估微生物的生产力,每单位培养基体积的产物量(例如,mg-产物/ L-肉汤)和/或每单位微生物量的产物量(例如, ,毫克产品/毫克干细胞重量)经常使用。 尽管如此,在研究文章中常常忽略用于计算这些产量的详细程序,而产品量化的方法则被很好地描述。 在这里,我们描述了我们以前关于酿酒酵母产生谷胱甘肽的研究的详细计算过程。 该程序可以应用于各种其他产品和微生物,因此可能证明可用于各种其他生物生产研究。
【背景】谷胱甘肽是所有生物体中含量最高的含巯基三肽,并且作为在细胞中具有不同作用的生物活性物质起作用,例如作为氧化还原和解毒剂。因此,谷胱甘肽如今被广泛用于医疗,食品和化妆品行业,并且近年来需求增加。谷胱甘肽在工业上主要通过使用原始含有高浓度谷胱甘肽的酿酒酵母进行发酵生产,并且已经作为安全的食品生产微生物。对各种微生物中的微生物谷胱甘肽产生的研究在未来将变得更加重要。为了评估各种微生物发酵产生谷胱甘肽的效率,我们在这里描述了我们详细的样品制备程序,高效色谱(HPLC)定量还原和氧化谷胱甘肽的方法,以及两种产量的计算方法(Hara ) 2012; Hara等人,2015; Kiriyama等人,2013; Kobayashi等人 2017年)。

数据分析
- 从ODC和OD 600和生物量的校准曲线计算细胞浓度([干细胞重量] / [L-肉汤])[[干细胞重量] / [L-肉汤] ])。
- 通过以下公式计算细胞浓度比率:
- 通过以下等式计算体积谷胱甘肽产量(VGP,mg / [L-肉汤])。在此等式中,5表示HPLC样品的稀释因子。
- 使用以下公式计算谷胱甘肽含量(GC)(mg / [mg-细胞]):
笔记
- 如果ODS色谱柱的分离度下降,GSH和GSSG的HPLC峰变得难以分离。
在HPLC流动相中甲醇浓度的增加可以改善峰的分离。 - 在此协议中,需要在酵母培养基中添加EDTA以精确测量OD 600。 EDTA抑制细胞表面上的凝集素活性并因此阻止细胞聚集。如果不添加EDTA,与原始数据相比,OD 600的酵母通过聚集减少。
- 当向1000μl酵母培养基添加250μl500mM EDTA时,使用50μl该混合物(总体积为1250μl)测量OD 600; 1200μl这种残留混合物由960μl酵母培养基和240μl500mM EDTA组成。
在步骤C7的公式中,960的值是原始酵母培养基的剩余体积。 - 在许多情况下,当样品破坏前的OD 600大约为35时,HPLC样品中的GSH和GSSG浓度在校准曲线内。因此,该协议在计算超纯水的充足体积时包含了35的这个值。
