酿酒酵母和克鲁维酵母发酵菊芋生产燃料乙醇

为获得菌株发酵菊芋生产燃料乙醇的最佳方案,首先选取实验室保存的重组菌株R32对其产酶条件进行优化,其最高产菊粉酶活性为298.8 U· mL-1,此时的最佳培养基配方为:YPG培养基为酵母粉1％ (w/v),蛋白胨2％ (w/v),甘油0.5％ (v/v);YPM培养基为酵母粉1％ (w/v),蛋白胨2％ (w/v),甲醇1％(v/v);培养基pH为自然初始pH.然后选取酿酒酵母S.c和克鲁维酵母Klu,比较是否在添加重组菌株R32粗酶液条件下,两株酵母菌分别进行单独发酵和混合发酵时的产乙醇能力,以获得最佳的发酵组合.结果表明,酿酒酵母S.c和克鲁维酵母Klu在未添加重组菌株R32粗酶液时,混合一步发酵获得的乙醇含量较高,发酵84 h时乙醇含量为11.37％.添加重组菌株R32粗酶液进行两步发酵时,2株酵母菌混合发酵72 h时,乙醇含量为11.43％.2种发酵组合的最高乙醇含量以及各个发酵参数基本相同,虽然一步法发酵时间延长,但节省成本,操作简单,更适宜工业生产应用.最后对其进行正交试验优化,培养条件为菊粉浓度225 g· L-1,脲素浓度40 g·L-1,接种量15％,pH为5时,酿酒酵母菌S.c和克鲁维酵母Klu混合一步发酵法的最高乙醇体积比达11.82％.     

不同信号肽对酿酒酵母蔗糖转化酶Suc2分泌表达水平的影响

目前，绝大多数酿酒酵母（Saccharomyces cerevisiae）菌株利用菊糖生产乙醇的能力有限，而蔗糖转化酶Suc2是酿酒酵母水解菊糖的关键酶，其分泌水平直接影响酿酒酵母转化菊糖为乙醇的性能。为提高酿酒酵母中蔗糖转化酶Suc2的分泌表达水平，利用生物信息学的分析方法选择出11种不同的分泌信号肽，包括酿酒酵母内源性、其他菌株来源以及已报道序列优化改造的信号肽，将它们融合至Suc2并构建了相应的酿酒酵母BY4741重组菌。其中，酿酒酵母内源分泌信号肽AGA2能使蔗糖转化酶Suc2更有效的分泌，含有信号肽AGA2的重组菌BY-AG的蔗糖酶酶活和菊糖酶酶活相对于含有天然信号肽的原始菌BY-S分别提高42%和26%，其利用菊糖产乙醇能力较原始菌提高了32%，乙醇产量达到78.11 g/L。在使用毕赤酵母（Pichia pastoris）分泌信号肽MSB2时，蔗糖转化酶Suc2的分泌水平也有提高，含有信号肽MSB2的重组菌BY-MS较原始菌BY-S的蔗糖酶酶活和菊糖酶酶活分别提高了80%和74%，同时，利用菊糖产乙醇能力也提高了56%，产量达到86.31 g/L。最后，对重组菌BY-MS摇瓶发酵过程中的生物量、蔗糖酶酶活、残糖总量和乙醇产量进行了监测，结果表明，重组菌BY-MS的发酵性能较原始菌BY-S有显著提高。本研究为提高蔗糖转化酶Suc2的分泌水平、构建高效菊糖基乙醇生产菌株提供参考。     

Improved ethanol production in Jerusalem artichoke tubers by overexpression of inulinase gene in Kluyveromyces marxianus

Ethanol production from Jerusalem artichoke tubers through a consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) strategy using the inulinase-producing yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus is an economical and competitive than that from a grainbased feedstock. However, poor inulinase production under ethanol fermentation conditions significantly prolongs the fermentation time and compromises ethanol productivity. Improvement of inulinase activity appears to be promising for increasing ethanol production from Jerusalem artichoke tubers by CBP. In the present study, expression of the inulinase gene INU with its own promoter in K. marxianus (K/INU2) was explored using the integrative cassette. Overexpression of INU was explored using chromosome integration via the HO locus of the yeast. Inulinase activity and ethanol were determined from inulin and Jerusalem artichoke tubers under fed-batch operation. Inulinase activity was 114.9 U/mL under aerobic conditions for K/INU2, compared with 52.3 U/mL produced by the wild type strain. Importantly, inulinase production was enhanced in K/INU2 under ethanol fermentation conditions. When using 230 g/L inulin and 220 g/L Jerusalem artichoke tubers as substrates, inulinase activities of 3.7 and 6.8 U/mL, respectively, were measured using K/INU2, comparing favorably with 2.4 and 3.1 U/mL, respectively, using the wide type strain. Ethanol concentration and productivity for inulin were improved by the recombinant yeast to 96.2 g/L and 1.34 g/L/h, respectively, vs 93.7 g/L and 1.12 g/L/h, respectively, by the wild type strain. Ethanol concentration and productivity improvements for Jerusalem artichoke tubers were 69 g/L and 1.44 g/L/h, respectively, from the recombinant strain vs 62 g/L and 1.29 g/L/h, respectively, from the wild type strain.     

Thermotolerant Kluyveromyces marxianus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains representing potentials for bioethanol production from Jerusalem artichoke by consolidated bioprocessing

Thermotolerant inulin-utilizing yeast strains are desirable for ethanol production from Jerusalem artichoke tubers by consolidated bioprocessing (CBP). To obtain such strains, 21 naturally occurring yeast strains isolated by using an enrichment method and 65 previously isolated Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains were investigated in inulin utilization, extracellular inulinase activity, and ethanol fermentation from inulin and Jerusalem artichoke tuber flour at 40?°C. The strains Kluyveromyces marxianus PT-1 (CGMCC AS2.4515) and S. cerevisiae JZ1C (CGMCC AS2.3878) presented the highest extracellular inulinase activity and ethanol yield in this study. The highest ethanol concentration in Jerusalem artichoke tuber flour fermentation (200?g?L(-1)) at 40?°C achieved by K. marxianus PT-1 and S. cerevisiae JZ1C was 73.6 and 65.2?g?L(-1), which corresponded to the theoretical ethanol yield of 90.0 and 79.7?%, respectively. In the range of 30 to 40?°C, temperature did not have a significant effect on ethanol production for both strains. This study displayed the distinctive superiority of K. marxianus PT-1 and S. cerevisiae JZ1C in the thermotolerance and utilization of inulin-type oligosaccharides reserved in Jerusalem artichoke tubers. It is proposed that both K. marxianus and S. cerevisiae have considerable potential in ethanol production from Jerusalem artichoke tubers by a high temperature CBP.     

Consolidated ethanol production from Jerusalem artichoke tubers at elevated temperature by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Saccharomyces cerevisiae</Emphasis> engineered with inulinase expression through cell surface display

Ethanol fermentation from Jerusalem artichoke tubers was performed at elevated temperatures by the consolidated bioprocessing strategy using Saccharomyces cerevisiae MK01 expressing inulinase through cell surface display. No significant difference was observed in yeast growth when temperature was controlled at 38 and 40 °C, respectively, but inulinase activity with yeast cells was substantially enhanced at 40 °C. As a result, enzymatic hydrolysis of inulin was facilitated and ethanol production was improved with 89.3 g/L ethanol produced within 72 h from 198.2 g/L total inulin sugars consumed. Similar results were also observed in ethanol production from Jerusalem artichoke tubers with 85.2 g/L ethanol produced within 72 h from 185.7 g/L total sugars consumed. On the other hand, capital investment on cooling facilities and energy consumption for running the facilities would be saved, since regular cooling water instead of chill water could be used to cool down the fermentation system.     

Simultaneous saccharification of inulin and ethanol fermentation by recombinantSaccharomyces cerevisiae secreting inulinase

VariousSaccharomyces cerevisiae strains were transformed with a 2 μ-based multicopy expression plasmid, pYIGP, carryingKluyveromyces marxianus inulinase gene under the control ofGAPDH promoter. Among them two strains, SEY2102 and 2805, showed high levels of cell growth and inulinase expression, and were selected to study their fermentation properties on inulin. Jerusalem artichoke inulin was more effective for cell growth (10∼11 g-dry wt./L at 48 hr) and inulinase expression (1.0 units/mL with SEY2102/pYIGP and 2.5 units/mL with 2805/pYIGP) than other inulin sources such as dahlia and chicory. It was also found that maximal ethanol production of 9 g/L was obtained from Jerusalem artichoke inulin at the early stationary phase (around 30 hr), indicating that recombinantS. cerevisiae cells secreting exoinulinase could be used for the simultaneous saccharification of inulin and ethanol fermentation.     

一步法发酵菊芋生产乙醇

利用马克斯克鲁维酵母(Kluyveromyces marxianus)YX01具有菊粉酶生产能力且乙醇发酵性能良好的特点,直接发酵菊粉生成乙醇.在摇瓶中考察了该菌株最适发酵温度,进而在2.5L发酵罐中考察了通气量和底物浓度的影响.实验结果表明:该菌株最适发酵温度为35℃;在通气量为50 mL/min和100 mL/min时菌体生长加快,发酵时间缩短,但在不通气条件下糖醇转化率明显提高;在菊粉浓度235 g/L时,发酵终点乙醇浓度达到92.2 g/L,乙醇对糖的得率为0.436,为理论值的85.5%.在此基础上,使用近海滩涂种植海水灌溉收获的菊芋为底物,以批式补料方式直接发酵菊芋干粉浓度为280 g/L的底物,发酵终点乙醇浓度为84.0 g/L,乙醇对糖的得率为0.405,为理论值的80.0%.这些研究工作,为以菊芋为原料的燃料乙醇技术开发奠定了基础.     

通气量和菊粉浓度对克鲁维酵母乙醇发酵的影响

马克斯克鲁维酵母能够利用集成生物加工技术发酵菊芋生产乙醇,具有非粮燃料乙醇生产潜力.文中研究了该技术中的两个关键因素(通气量和底物浓度)对于K.marxinaus YX01乙醇发酵过程和菊粉酶活性的影响.研究结果表明,底物浓度对乙醇得率影响不大,底物浓度为250 g/L时,发酵终点乙醇浓度为84.74 g/L,但乙醇得率由低浓度50 g/L的86.4％(理论值),降为84.7％.通气能够加速K.marxinaus YX01的乙醇发酵过程,但降低了乙醇得率,当底物浓度为250 g/L时,乙醇得率由不通气的84.7％降为1.0 vvm时的73.3％.随底物浓度的升高及通气量的降低,K.marxinaus YX01分泌的菊粉酶活力表现出降低的趋势.在不通气及底物浓度为250 g/L时,菊粉酶的活性为6.59 U/mL,而底物浓度50 g/L,通气量1.0 vvm时的酶活力为21.54 U/mL.乙醇发酵过程中的副产物甘油随通气量的降低及底物浓度的升高而增大,而乙酸的浓度随通气量的增大及底物浓度的升高而升高.     

Ethanol fermentation with Kluyveromyces marxianus from Jerusalem artichoke grown in salina and irrigated with a mixture of seawater and freshwater

Aims: To study fuel ethanol fermentation with Kluyveromyces marxianus ATCC8554 from Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) grown in salina and irrigated with a mixture of seawater and freshwater. Methods and Results: The growth and ethanol fermentation of K. marxianus ATCC8554 were studied using inulin as substrate. The activity of inulinase, which attributes to the hydrolysis of inulin, the main carbohydrate in Jerusalem artichoke, was monitored. The optimum temperatures were 38°C for growth and inulinase production, and 35°C for ethanol fermentation. Aeration was not necessary for ethanol fermentation with the K. marxianus from inulin. Then, the fresh Jerusalem artichoke tubers grown in salina and irrigated with 25% and 50% seawater were further examined for ethanol fermentation with the K. marxianus, and a higher ethanol yield was achieved for the Jerusalem artichoke tuber irrigated with 25% seawater. Furthermore, the dry meal of the Jerusalem artichoke tubers irrigated with 25% seawater was examined for ethanol fermentation at three solid concentrations of 200, 225 and 250 g l^?1, and the highest ethanol yield of 0·467, or 91·5% of the theoretical value of 0·511, was achieved for the slurry with a solid concentration of 200 g l^?1. Conclusions: Halophilic Jerusalem artichoke can be used for fuel ethanol production. Significance and Impact of the Study: Halophilic Jerusalem artichoke, not competing with grain crops for arable land, is a sustainable feedstock for fuel ethanol production.     

Consolidated bioprocessing strategy for ethanol production from Jerusalem artichoke tubers by Kluyveromyces marxianus under high gravity conditions

Aims: Developing an innovative process for ethanol fermentation from Jerusalem artichoke tubers under very high gravity (VHG) conditions. Methods and Results: A consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) strategy that integrated inulinase production, saccharification of inulin contained in Jerusalem artichoke tubers and ethanol production from sugars released from inulin by the enzyme was developed with the inulinase‐producing yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus Y179 and fed‐batch operation. The impact of inoculum age, aeration, the supplementation of pectinase and nutrients on the ethanol fermentation performance of the CBP system was studied. Although inulinase activities increased with the extension of the seed incubation time, its contribution to ethanol production was negligible because vigorously growing yeast cells harvested earlier carried out ethanol fermentation more efficiently. Thus, the overnight incubation that has been practised in ethanol production from starch‐based feedstocks is recommended. Aeration facilitated the fermentation process, but compromised ethanol yield because of the negative Crabtree effect of the species, and increases the risk of contamination under industrial conditions. Therefore, nonaeration conditions are preferred for the CBP system. Pectinase supplementation reduced viscosity of the fermentation broth and improved ethanol production performance, particularly under high gravity conditions, but the enzyme cost should be carefully balanced. Medium optimization was performed, and ethanol concentration as high as 94·2 g l^?1 was achieved when 0·15 g l^?1 K₂HPO₄ was supplemented, which presents a significant progress in ethanol production from Jerusalem artichoke tubers. Conclusions: A CBP system using K. marxianus is suitable for efficient ethanol production from Jerusalem artichoke tubers under VHG conditions. Significance and Impact of the Study: Jerusalem artichoke tubers are an alternative to grain‐based feedstocks for ethanol production. The high ethanol concentration achieved using K. marxianus with the CBP system not only saves energy consumption for ethanol distillation, but also significantly reduces the amount of waste distillage discharged from the distillation system.     

The Composition of Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) Spirits Obtained from Fermentation with Bacteria and Yeasts

The composition of spirits distilled from fermentation of Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) tubers was compared by means of gas chromatography. The microorganisms used in the fermentation processes were the bacterium Zymomonas mobilis, strains 3881 and 3883, the distillery yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, strains Bc16a and D₂ and the Kluyveromyces fragilis yeast with an active inulinase. The fermentation of mashed tubers was conducted using a single culture of the distillery yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the bacterium Zymomonas mobilis (after acid or enzymatic hydrolysis) as well as Kluyveromyces fragilis (sterilized mashed tubers). The tubers were simultaneously fermented by mixed cultures of the bacterium or the distillery yeast with K. fragilis. The highest ethanol yield was achieved when Z. mobilis 3881 with a yeast demonstrating inulinase activity was applied. The yield reached 94 % of the theoretical value. It was found that the distillates resulting from the fermentation of mixed cultures were characterized by a relatively lower amount of by‐products compared to the distillates resulting from the single species process. Ester production of 0.30–2.93 g/L, responsible for the aromatic quality of the spirits, was noticed when K. fragilis was applied for ethanol fermentation both in a single culture process and also in the mixed fermentation with the bacterium. Yeast applied in this study caused the formation of higher alcohols to concentrations of 7.04 g/L much greater than those obtained with the bacterium. The concentrations of compounds other than ethanol obtained from Jerusalem artichoke mashed tubers, which were fermented by Z. mobilis, were lower than those achieved for yeasts.
