【目的】为了提高Bacillus subtilis CCTCC M 208157发酵生产乙偶姻的效率。【方法】在7 L发酵罐水平上考察不同pH条件对菌株生长及乙偶姻合成的影响。【结果】pH对菌株合成乙偶姻有显著影响,pH 4.5有利于细胞合成乙偶姻,但是延迟期较长;pH 5.5时菌株生长较快,但乙偶姻的产量偏低。因此提出了两阶段pH控制策略:发酵前期(0 16 h),控制pH 5.5;发酵中后期(16 72 h),控制pH 4.5。【结论】通过此策略,菌株合成乙偶姻的能力得到进一步提高,乙偶姻的产量、产率和生产强度分别为32.7 g/L、0.41 g/g和0.91 g/(L.h),分别比初始发酵条件下提高了41%、42%和69%。

Production of caproic acid by cocultures of ruminal cellulolytic bacteria and Clostridium kluyveri grown on cellulose and ethanol

Ruminal cellulolytic bacteria (Fibrobacter succinogenes S85 or Ruminococcus flavefaciens FD-1) were combined with the non-ruminal bacterium Clostridium kluyveri and grown together on cellulose and ethanol. Succinate and acetate produced by the cellulolytic organisms were converted to butyrate and caproate only when the culture medium was supplemented with ethanol. Ethanol (244 mM) and butyrate (30 mM at pH 6.8) did not inhibit cellulose digestion or product formation by S85 or FD-1; however caproate (30 mM at pH 6.8) was moderately inhibitory to FD-1. Succinate consumption and caproate production were sensitive to culture pH, with more caproic acid being produced when the culture was controlled at a pH near neutrality. In a representative experiment under conditions of controlled pH (at 6.8) 6.0 g cellulose 1^–1 and 4.4 g ethanol 1^–1 were converted to 2.6 g butyrate 1^–1 and 4.6 g caproate 1^–1. The results suggest that bacteria that efficiently produce low levels of ethanol and acetate or succinate from cellulose should be useful in cocultures for the production of caproic acid, a potentially useful industrial chemical and bio-fuel precursor.Mention of specific products is intended only to provide information and does not contitute an endorsement by the U.S. Department of Agriculture over other products not mentioned.     

13C NMR studies of butyric fermentation in Clostridium kluyveri

The fermentation of 13C-labeled ethanol and acetate into butyrate and caproate by Clostridium kluyveri has been studied by using 13C NMR. The pathway involves the conversion of both ethanol and acetate into acetyl coenzymes A, two of which condense to form CoA-linked precursors of butyrate. If butyryl-CoA is involved in the condensation, caproate is the ultimate product. ATP is produced from acetyl-CoA via the reactions catalyzed by phosphotransacetylase and acetate kinase with acetate, a required carbon source, as a co-product. In spectra of whole cells incubated with the labeled carbon sources, label from ethanol appears rapidly in acetate, which then reaches a lower, steady-state concentration due to its re-entry into the pathway. The rapid initial production of acetate indicates equally rapid production of ATP. Label from acetate appears in ethanol only if ethanol is already present, indicating that this process is one of isotopic equilibration rather than net synthesis of ethanol from acetate. The ratio of butyrate to caproate produced depends strongly on the initial ratio of ethanol to acetate in the medium. The relative rates of utilization of ethanol and acetate vary as the fermentation proceeds. 13C-13C coupling in the butyrate and caproate produced from [1-13C]ethanol and [2-13C]acetate can be used to determine if the acetyl-CoA molecules arising from ethanol and acetate enter the same pool or if they remain separated. The data are consistent with random mixing of the acetyl-CoA produced from the two carbon sources.     

不同预处理条件对海水养殖废弃物发酵产氢的影响

【目的】利用海水养殖场有机废弃物厌氧发酵产氢,可在减少有机污染物的同时获取氢气。【方法】以海水养殖场有机废弃物为底物,比较嗜热酶(S-TE)、酸、碱、灭菌、微波不同预处理方法对厌氧发酵产氢效果的影响,并对发酵过程中底物性质变化[SCOD、可溶性蛋白质、可溶性糖、pH、VFAs(挥发性脂肪酸)和乙醇]进行探讨。【结果】灭菌预处理产氢效果最好,产氢率为22.0 mL/g VSS,酸处理的效果最差,产氢率为7.6 mL/g VSS。可溶性糖大量消耗之后,氢气不再产生。接种S-TE预处理污泥的底物能更多地释放营养物质,并在整个发酵过程中保持较为稳定的pH值。发酵过程中产生的VFAs主要成分是乙酸,在发酵后期出现乙醇。【结论】灭菌预处理是海水养殖场有机废弃物厌氧发酵产氢的最佳预处理方法,可溶性糖为这一过程主要的营养来源。     

Improvement of biohydrogen production by Enterobacter cloacae IIT-BT 08 under regulated pH

The present study investigates the effect of pH and intermediate products formation on biological hydrogen production using Enterobacter cloacae IIT-BT 08. Initial pH was found to have a profound effect on hydrogen production potential, while regulating the pH 6.5 throughout the fermentation was found to increase the cumulative hydrogen production rate and yield significantly. Modified Gompertz equation was used to fit the cumulative hydrogen production curves to obtain the hydrogen production potential P, the hydrogen production rate R and lag phase λ. At regulated pH 6.5, higher H(2) yield (3.1molH(2)mol(-1) glucose), specific hydrogen production potential (798.1mL/g) and specific rate of H(2) production (72.1mLL(-1)h(-1)g(-1)) were obtained. The volatile fatty acid profile showed butyrate, ethanol and acetate as the major end metabolites of fermentation under the operating pH conditions tested; however, their pattern of distribution was pH dependent. At the optimum pH of 6.5, the acetate to butyrate ratio (A/B ratio) was found to be higher than that at any other pH. The study also investigates the effect of sodium ions on biohydrogen production potential. It was also found that sodium ion concentration up to 250mM enhanced the hydrogen production potential; however, any further increase in the metal ion concentration had an inhibitory effect.

Acidogenic fermentation of lactose

Cheese whey is the main component of waste streams from cheese manufacturing plants. Whey is a high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) effluent that must be reduced before the streams are sent to the sewer. It is proposed in this article that the production of methane by anaerobic fermentation would be the best use of this stream, especially for small plants. Single-stage fermentation of lactose, the main component of whey, results in a very low pH and a stalled process. Two-phase fermentation will eliminate this problem. The acidogenic stage of fermentation has been studied at pH of between 4 and 6.5. The nature of the main products of the reaction have been found to be pH dependent. Below a pH of 4.5 a gas (CO(2) and H(2)) is produced along with ethanol, acetate, and butyrate. Above a pH of 4.5 no gas was produced, and the liquid products included less ethanol and butyrate and more acetate. A separate study on the conditions for gas formation showed that if the pH dropped for a short time below 4.5 gases were formed at all subsequent pH. This would indicate a change in population distribution due to the period at a low pH. By assuming that the desired products from the acidogenic stage were butyrate, acetate, and no gases, the optimum pH range was found to be between 6.0 and 6.5.     

Characterization of recombinant strains of the Clostridium acetobutylicum butyrate kinase inactivation mutant: need for new phenomenological models for solventogenesis and butanol inhibition?

Two metabolic engineering tools, namely gene inactivation and gene overexpression, were employed to examine the effects of two genetic modifications on the fermentation characteristics of Clostridium acetobutylicum. Inactivation of the butyrate kinase gene (buk) was examined using strain PJC4BK, while the combined effect of buk inactivation and overexpression of the aad gene-encoding the alcohol aldehyde dehydrogense (AAD) used in butanol formation-was examined using strain PJC4BK(pTAAD). The two strains were characterized in controlled pH > or = 5.0 fermentations, and by a recently enhanced method of metabolic flux analysis. Strain PJC4BK was previously genetically characterized, and fermentation experiments at pH > or = 5.5 demonstrated good, but not exceptional, solvent-production capabilities. Here, we show that this strain is a solvent superproducer in pH > or = 5.0 fermentations producing 225 mM (16.7 g/L) of butanol, 76 mM of acetone (4.4 g/L), and 57 mM (2.6 g/L) of ethanol. Strain PJC4BK(pTAAD) produced similar amounts of butanol and acetone but 98 mM (4.5 g/L) of ethanol. Both strains overcame the 180 mM (13 g/L) butanol toxicity limit, without any selection for butanol tolerance. Work with strain PJC4BK(pTAAD) is the first reported use of dual antibiotic selection in C. acetobutylicum. One antibiotic was used for selection of strain PJC4BK while the second antibiotic selected for the pTAAD presence. Overexpression of aad from pTAAD resulted in increased ethanol production but did not increase butanol titers, thus indicating that AAD did not limit butanol production under these fermentation conditions. Metabolic flux analysis showed a decrease in butyrate formation fluxes by up to 75% and an increase in acetate formation fluxes of up to 100% during early growth. The mean specific butanol and ethanol formation fluxes increased significantly in these recombinant strains, up to 300% and 400%, respectively. Onset of solvent production occurred during the exponential-growth phase when the culture optical density was very low and when total and undissociated butyric acid levels were <1 mM. Butyrate levels were low throughout all fermentations, never exceeding 20 mM. Thus, threshold butyrate concentrations are not necessary for solvent production in these stains, suggesting the need for a new phenomenological model to explain solvent formation.     

Extractive lactic acid fermentation in poly (ethyleneimine)-based aqueous two-phase system

The potential of an aqueous two-phase system composed of a polycation, poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI), and an uncharged polymer, (hydroxyethyl) cellulose (HEC), for extractive lactic acid fermentation was tested. Batch fermentation with 20 g/L glucose in two-phase medium using Lactococcus lactis without external pH control resulted in 3-4 times higher amount of lactate and biomass produced as compared to that in a conventional one-phase medium. Lactic acid was preferentially partitioned to the PEI-rich bottom phase. However, the cells which favored the HEC-rich top phase in a fresh two-phase medium were partitioned to a significant extent to the bottom phase after fermentation. Addition of phosphate buffer or pH adjustment to 6.5 after fermentation caused fewer cells to move to the bottom phase. With external pH control, fermentation in normal and two-phase medium showed no marked differences in glucose consumption and lactic acid yield, except that about 1.3 times higher cell density was obtained in the two-phase broth, especially at initial glucose concentrations of 50-100 g/L. Use of higher concentration of phosphate during batch fermentation in the two-phase medium with 50 g/L sugar provided a 15% higher yield of lactic acid, but the growth rate of cells was nearly half of the normal, thus affecting the productivity. Continuous fermentation with twice the normal phosphate concentration resulted in higher cell density, product yield, and productivity in two-phase medium than in monophasic medium.
