Maximum production strategy for biodegradable copolymer P(HB-co-HV) in fed-batch culture of Alcaligenes eutrophus

A novel strategy for the maximum production of a biodegradable copolymer, poly(3-hydroxybutyric-co-hydroxyvaleric) acid, P(HB-co-HV), was developed, based on the kinetic parameters obtained from fed-batch culture experiments of Alcaligenes eutrophus. The effects of various culture conditions such as mole ratio of carbon:nitrogen in feed medium (C/N); total fatty acids concentrations; and addition ratio of fatty acids on cultivation properties such as the specific rates of cell formation, mu (h-1), P(HB-co-HV) production, rho[g.P(HB-co-HV)/g.cell/h], production yield from fatty acids [g.P(HB-co-HV)/g.fatty acid], and mole fraction of monomeric units in the copolymer [mol.(HV)/{mol.(HB) + mol.(HV)}], were investigated. When nitrogen supply was sufficient for cell growth; that is, C/N (mol.nitrogen atom/mol.carbon atom) was low, mu was high, but rho and the production yield were low, because fatty acids were used mainly for energy formation and anabolic reactions in the cells. On the other hand, when nitrogen supply was limited for cell growth-that is, C/N was high-rho was high. The highest value of rho was obtained when C/N was 75. As the mole ratio of valeric acid (VA) to butyric acid (BA) in the feed medium was increased, the mole fraction of HV units in P(HB-co-HV) increased linearly. When the ratio of BA to VA in the feed medium was kept at a constant value, but C/N was increased, the mole fraction of HV units decreased. In particular, when C/N was >12, the mole fraction of HV units decreased linearly as C/N increased. When VA was utilized as the sole carbon source and C/N was fixed at 4, P(HB-co-HV) with the highest mole fraction of HV units (67 mol%) was achieved. From these results, it was shown that both C/N and the mole ratio of BA to VA in the feed medium should be well controlled for an optimal production of P(HB-co-HV) with the desired value of the mole fraction of HV units. When the addition ratio of butyric acid was 50 wt% of total fatty acids, a maximum production strategy for P(HB-co-HV) was developed and realized experimentally, which was based on a model of the relationship between mu and rho.     

Growth characteristics of Escherichia coli HB101[pGEc47] on defined medium

This paper shows that differences in growth behavior of Escherichia coli strain HB101 and strain HB101[pGEc47] can be related to yeast extract-enriched medium rather than plasmid properties. An optimal medium for growth of E. coli HB101[pGEc47] was designed based on the individual yield coefficients for specific medium components (NH4+ 6 g g-1, PO43- 14 g g-1, SO42- 50 g g-1). The yield coefficient for L-leucine depends on the glucose content of the medium (20 g g-1 for 3% glucose, 40 g g-1 for 1% glucose) and the yield coefficient for L-proline depends on the cultivation mode (20 g g-1 for batch cultivation, 44 g g-1 for continuous cultivation). Growth on defined medium after medium optimization is as rapid as on complex medium (0. 42-0.45 h-1). The critical dilution rate (DR) in the defined medium above which undesired production of acetic acid occurs is in the range of 0.23-0.26 h-1.     

Hyperproduction of poly(4-hydroxybutyrate) from glucose by recombinant Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Poly(4-hydroxybutyrate) [poly(4HB)] is a strong thermoplastic biomaterial with remarkable mechanical properties, biocompatibility and biodegradability. However, it is generally synthesized when 4-hydroxybutyrate (4HB) structurally related substrates such as gamma-butyrolactone, 4-hydroxybutyrate or 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BD) are provided as precursor which are much more expensive than glucose. At present, high production cost is a big obstacle for large scale production of poly(4HB). RESULTS: Recombinant Escherichia coli strain was constructed to achieve hyperproduction of poly(4-hydroxybutyrate) [poly(4HB)] using glucose as a sole carbon source. An engineering pathway was established in E. coli containing genes encoding succinate degradation of Clostridium kluyveri and PHB synthase of Ralstonia eutropha. Native succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase genes sad and gabD in E. coli were both inactivated to enhance the carbon flux to poly(4HB) biosynthesis. Four PHA binding proteins (PhaP or phasins) including PhaP1, PhaP2, PhaP3 and PhaP4 from R. eutropha were heterologously expressed in the recombinant E. coli, respectively, leading to different levels of improvement in poly(4HB) production. Among them PhaP1 exhibited the highest capability for enhanced polymer synthesis. The recombinant E. coli produced 5.5 g L-1 cell dry weight containing 35.4% poly(4HB) using glucose as a sole carbon source in a 48 h shake flask growth. In a 6-L fermentor study, 11.5 g L-1 cell dry weight containing 68.2% poly(4HB) was obtained after 52 h of cultivation. This was the highest poly(4HB) yield using glucose as a sole carbon source reported so far. Poly(4HB) was structurally confirmed by gas chromatographic (GC) as well as 1H and 13C NMR studies. CONCLUSIONS: Significant level of poly(4HB) biosynthesis from glucose can be achieved in sad and gabD genes deficient strain of E. coli JM109 harboring an engineering pathway encoding succinate degradation genes and PHB synthase gene, together with expression of four PHA binding proteins PhaP or phasins, respectively. Over 68% poly(4HB) was produced in a fed-batch fermentation process, demonstrating the feasibility for enhanced poly(4HB) production using the recombinant strain for future cost effective commercial development.     

Production of poly-(beta-hydroxybutyric-co-beta-hydroxyvaleric) acids

Alcaligenes latus, Alcaligenes eutrophus, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas pseudoflava, Pseudomonas cepacia, and Micrococcus halodenitrificans were found to accumulate poly-(beta-hydroxybutyric-co-beta-hydroxyvaleric) acid [P(HB-co-HV)] copolymer when supplied with glucose (or sucrose in the case of A. latus) and propionic acid under nitrogen-limited conditions. A fed-batch culture of A. eutrophus produced 24 g of poly-beta-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) liter-1 under ammonium limitation conditions. When the glucose feed was replaced with glucose and propionic acid during the polymer accumulation phase, 17 g of P(HB-co-HV) liter-1 was produced. The P(HB-co-HV) contained 5.0 mol% beta-hydroxyvaleric acid (HV). Varying the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio at a dilution rate of 0.15 h-1 in a chemostat culture of A. eutrophus resulted in a maximum value of 33% (wt/wt) PHB in the biomass. In comparison, A. latus accumulated about 40% (wt/wt) PHB in chemostat culture under nitrogen-limited conditions at the same dilution rate. When propionic acid was added to the first stage of a two-stage chemostat, A. latus produced 43% (wt/wt) P(HB-co-HV) containing 18.5 mol% HV. In the second stage, the P(HB-co-HV) increased to 58% (wt/wt) with an HV content of 11 mol% without further addition of carbon substrate. The HV composition in P(HB-co-HV) was controlled by regulating the concentration of propionic acid in the feed. Poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoates containing a higher percentage of HV were produced when pentanoic acid replaced propionic acid.

Production of poly(4-hydroxybutyric acid) by fed-batch cultures of recombinant strains of Escherichia coli

A recombinant strain of Escherichia coli was used to produce poly(4-hydroxybutyric acid), P(4HB), homopolyester by fed-batch culture in M9 mineral salts medium containing glucose and 4-hydroxybutyric acid as carbon sources. The final cell dry weight, P(4HB) concentration and P(4HB) content were 12.6 g/l, 4.4 g/l, and 36% of cell dry weight, respectively, in a 27-l stirred and aerated fermenter after 60 h of fed-batch fermentation at constant pH.     

Effect of different carbon sources on the production of succinic acid using metabolically engineered Escherichia coli

Succinic acid (SA) is an important platform molecule in the synthesis of a number of commodity and specialty chemicals. In the present work, dual-phase batch fermentations with the E. coli strain AFP184 were performed using a medium suited for large-scale industrial production of SA. The ability of the strain to ferment different sugars was investigated. The sugars studied were sucrose, glucose, fructose, xylose, and equal mixtures of glucose and fructose and glucose and xylose at a total initial sugar concentration of 100 g L-1. AFP184 was able to utilize all sugars and sugar combinations except sucrose for biomass generation and succinate production. For sucrose as a substrate no succinic acid was produced and none of the sucrose was metabolized. The succinic acid yield from glucose (0.83 g succinic acid per gram glucose consumed anaerobically) was higher than the yield from fructose (0.66 g g-1). When using xylose as a carbon source, a yield of 0.50 g g-1 was obtained. In the mixed-sugar fermentations no catabolite repression was detected. Mixtures of glucose and xylose resulted in higher yields (0.60 g g-1) than use of xylose alone. Fermenting glucose mixed with fructose gave a lower yield (0.58 g g-1) than fructose used as the sole carbon source. The reason is an increased pyruvate production. The pyruvate concentration decreased later in the fermentation. Final succinic acid concentrations were in the range of 25-40 g L-1. Acetic and pyruvic acid were the only other products detected and accumulated to concentrations of 2.7-6.7 and 0-2.7 g L-1. Production of succinic acid decreased when organic acid concentrations reached approximately 30 g L-1. This study demonstrates that E. coli strain AFP184 is able to produce succinic acid in a low cost medium from a variety of sugars with only small amounts of byproducts formed.     

Growth-associated production and characterization of poly (3-hydroxybutyric acid) of Azotobacter beijerinckii DAR-102

Production of poly (3-hydroxybutyric acid) [P(3HB)] by Azotobacter beijerinckii DAR-102 isolated in this laboratory has been optimized under batch-culture. The accumulatad polymer attained 58% of cell dry mass during mid-stationary phase with an yield of 0.58 g/l when grown in nitrogen-free medium. The optimum concentration of glucose and fructose for P(3HB) production was 3% (w/v) and 2% (w/v) respectively while that of casamino acid and tryptose was 0.1% (w/v). Phosphate at a concentration suboptimal for growth and limitation of oxygen in the medium favoured P(3HB) accumulation. The production of P(3HB) was maximum with an inoculum dose of 4% (v/v). The accumulated polymer was isolated by direct chloroform extraction of the dry cell mass and purified by precipitation with diethyl ether. The purified polymer has been characterized in terms of its solubility properties, melting temperature, and UV-, IR- and NMR-spectroscopic analyses.     

Production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) by Ralstonia eutropha from soybean oil

High-yield production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) by Ralstonia eutropha KCTC 2662 was investigated using soybean oil and γ-butyrolactone as carbon sources. In flask culture, it was shown that R. eutropha KCTC 2662 accumulated PHAs during the growth phase. The optimum carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N ratio) giving the highest cell and PHA yield was 20 g-soybean oil/g-(NH(4))(2)SO(4). The 4-hydroxybutyrate (4HB) fraction in the copolymer was not strongly affected by the C/N ratio. In a 2.5-L fermentor, a homopolymer of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] was produced from soybean oil as the sole carbon source by batch and fed-batch cultures of R. eutropha with dry cell weights of 15-32 g/L, PHA contents of 78-83 wt% and yields of 0.80-0.82 g-PHA/g-soybean oil used. By co-feeding soybean oil and γ-butyrolactone as carbon sources, a copolymer of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB-co-4HB)] could be produced with dry cell weights of 10-21 g/L, yields of 0.45-0.56 g-PHA/g-soybean oil used (0.39-0.50g-PHA/g-carbon sources used) and 4HB fractions of 6-10 mol%. Higher supplementation of γ-butyrolactone increased the 4HB fraction in the copolymer, but decreased cell and PHA yield.     

The effect of carbon source supplementation on the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) by Cupriavidus necator

The objective of the present study was to investigate the ability of Cupriavidus necator to produce poly-(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) on various carbon sources in batch cultivation. These results show that C. necator produces poly-3-hydroxybutyrate from single carbon sources. The highest poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (P3HB) content was achieved at growth on fructose in the exponential growth phase. The maximum yield of the P3HV content was obtained when fructose was mixed with acetate. The highest content P3HB-co-3HV was also achieved by C. necator when we supplied C-excess and N- and P-normal conditions. These results indicate that C. necator accumulates high polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) content by depleting these elements in the culture medium. Nitrogen and phosphorus limitation has no significant effect on the PHA production, whereas C-excess leads to an increase in PHA formation of up to 92% PHAs of cell dry weight after growth on 5 g/L acetate and 40 g/L fructose.
