初始pH值对产氢产乙酸/耗氢产乙酸两段耦合工艺定向生产乙酸的影响

以葡萄糖为底物,以经加热预处理并活化过的厌氧污泥为种泥,研究了初始pH值对产氢产乙酸/耗氢产乙酸两段耦合工艺厌氧发酵定向生产乙酸的影响。实验考察了7个初始pH值(5、6、7、8、9、10、11)条件下的底物降解、产物产生和发酵过程pH值的变化。结果表明:产氢产乙酸段初始pH值的变化不仅影响本阶段产酸,而且影响耗氢产乙酸段产酸。初始pH=5时主要进行乙醇型发酵;pH=6和7时主要进行丁酸型发酵;pH=8时混合酸型发酵类型逐渐占优势,pH=8~11时均以乙酸为主要产物,耦合系统生产乙酸最优初始pH值为10。在初始pH=8~11范围内,产氢产乙酸段初期的乙醇浓度一般较高,但到后期因乙醇被微生物进一步代谢转化成乙酸而使其含量下降。     

玉米芯半纤维素水解液中抑制物对丁醇发酵的影响北大核心CSCD

半纤维素水解液抑制物对微生物细胞的毒性限制了其在丁醇发酵中的应用,旨在探讨其对产丁醇共生体系TSH06的抑制作用并为其应用于丁醇发酵奠定基础。通过稀酸水解半纤维素制得水解液,采用P2培养基稀释的半纤维素水解液为底物,分别利用NaOH和氨水调节培养基pH值,结合实时荧光定量PCR方法来研究水解液对产丁醇共生体系TSH06的抑制作用。以NaOH调节pH抑制菌体的生长,氨水调节pH菌体可生长发酵。产丁醇菌株TSH06可以在50%稀释度以下的水解液中发酵生长,并且能够耐受并降解抑制物糠醛与5-羟甲基糠醛,最终丁醇产量达到4.16-5.16 g/L,低于P2培养基中的丁醇产量(8.83 g/L)。稀释水解液中,48 h之后乙酸浓度在3.18-4.16 g/L,远大于P2培养基中的乙酸浓度(低于2 g/L)。相对于P2培养基,在50%水解液中培养的TSH06有机酸生成途径关键基因的基因转录水平明显提高,而有机酸返耗途径以及丁醇生成途径的关键基因的基因转录水平则明显下降。水解液中过多的乙酸抑制了产酸期到产溶剂期的转化,而酸的累积使得菌体在底物被完全消耗之前就趋于衰退死亡,从而造成丁醇产量的降低与底物的不完全利用。

Ethanol production from eucalyptus wood hemicellulose hydrolysate by Pichia stipitis

Ethanol production was evaluated from eucalyptus wood hemicellulose acid hydrolysate using Pichia stipitis NRRL Y-7124. An initial lag phase characterized by flocculation and viability loss of the yeast inoculated was observed. Subsequently, cell regrowth occurred with sequential consumption of sugars and production of ethanol. Polyol formation was detected. Acetic acid present in the hydrolysate was an important inhibitor of the fermentation, reducing the rate and the yield. Its toxic effect was due essentially to its undissociated form. The fermentation was more effective at an oxygen transfer rate between 1.2 and 2.4 mmol/L h and an initial pH of 6.5. The hydrolysate used in the experiences had the following composition (expressed in grams per liter): xylose 30, arabinose 2.8, glucose 1.5, galactose 3.7, mannose 1.0, cellobiose 0.5, acetic acid 10, glucuronic acid 1.5, and galacturonic acid 1.0. The best values obtained were maximum ethanol concentration 12.6 g/L, fermentation time 75 h, fermentable sugar consumption 99% ethanol yield 0.35 g/g sugars consumed, and volumetric ethanol productivity 4 g/L day.

Summary Enzymatic hydrolysates of hemicellulose from steam-pretreated aspenwood were more fermentable than the acid hydrolysate after rotoevaporation or ethyl acetate extraction treatments to remove acetic acid and sugar- and lignin-degradation products prior to fermentation by Pichia stipitis CBS 5776. Total xylose and xylobiose utilization from 5.0% (w/v) ethyl acetate extracted enzymatic hydrolysate was observed with an ethanol yield of 0.47 g ethanol/g total available substrate and an ethanol production rate of 0.20 g·l^-1 per hour in 72 h batch fermentation.     

Effect of organic acids found in cottonseed hull hydrolysate on the xylitol fermentation by Candida tropicalis

Five organic acids (acetic, ferulic, 4-hydroxybenzoic, formic and levulinic acids) typically associated in the hemicellulose hydrolysate were selected to study their effects on the xylitol fermentation. The effects of individual and combined additions were independently evaluated on the following parameters: inhibitory concentration; initial cell concentration; pH value; and membrane integrity. The results showed that the toxicities of organic acids were related to their hydrophobility and significantly affected by the fermentative pH value. In addition, it was revealed that the paired combinations of organic acids did not impose synergetic inhibition. Moreover, it was found that the fermentation inhibition could be alleviated with the simple manipulations by increasing the initial cell concentration, raising the initial pH value and minimizing furfural levels by evaporation during the concentration of hydrolysates. The proposed strategies for minimizing the negative effects could be adopted to improve the xylitol fermentation in the industrial applications.     

Bioconversion of water-hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) hemicellulose acid hydrolysate to motor fuel ethanol by xylose-fermenting yeast

Water-hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) hemicellulose acid hydrolysate has been utilized as a substrate for ethanol production using Pichia stipitis NRRL Y-7124. Hydrolysate fermentability was considerable improved by boiling, and overliming up to pH 10.0 with solid Ca(OH)(2) in combination with sodium sulfite. The percent total sugar utilized and ethanol yield (Y(p/s)) for the untreated hydrolysate were 20.15+/-0.17% and 0.19+/-0.003 g(p) g(s)(-1), respectively, compared with 76.0+/-0.32% and 0.35 g(p) g(s)(-1), respectively for the treated material. The fermentation was very effective at an aeration rate of 0.02 v/v/m, temperature 30+/-0.2 degrees C and pH 6.0+/-0.2. However, the volumetric productivity (Q(p)) was still considerably less than observed in a simulated synthetic hydrolysate medium with a sugar composition similar to the hemicellulose acid hydrolysate. L-Arabinose was not fermented but assimilated. The presence of acetic acid in the hydrolysate decreased the ethanol yield and productivity considerably.     

发酵性丝孢酵母HWZ004利用水稻秸秆水解液发酵产油脂

Effect of selected aldehydes found in the corncob hemicellulose hydrolysate on the growth and xylitol fermentation of Candida tropicalis

The effects of four aldehydes (furfural, 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural, vanillin and syringaldehyde), which were found in the corncob hemicellulose hydrolysate, on the growth and xylitol fermentation of Candida tropicalis were investigated. The results showed that vanillin was the most toxic aldehyde for the xylitol fermentation, followed by syringaldehyde, furfural and 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural. Moreover, the binary combination tests revealed that furfural amplified the toxicity of other aldehydes and the toxicities of other binary combinations without furfural were simply additive. Based on the fermentation experiments, it was demonstrated that the inhibition of aldehydes could be alleviated by prolonging the fermentation incubation, increasing the initial cell concentration, enhancing the initial pH value and minimizing the furfural levels in the hydrolysate evaporation process. The strategies that we proposed to suppress the inhibitory effects of the aldehydes successfully avoided the complicated and costly detoxifications. Our findings could be potentially adopted for the industrial xylitol fermentation from hydrolysates. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol. Prog., 29:1181–1189, 2013     

Fermentation of sunflower seed hull hydrolysate to ethanol by Pichia stipitis

Ethanol production from sunflower seed hull hydrolysate was evaluated using Pichia stipitis NRRL Y-7124. The hydrolysate prepared with 0.7 M H2SO4 at 90 degrees C was fermented as substrate in shaking bath experiments at 30 degrees C. In a group of experiments, the influence of various detoxification methods on the fermentability of hydrolysate was investigated at pH 6. Even though the ability of all employed pretreatments to enhance fermentation performance was close, the sequential application of overliming with sodium sulfite addition was the best detoxification method. Additional experiments were performed with detoxified hydrolysate to investigate the effect of shaking rate (70-130 rpm) and initial pH (5.5-7) on the fermentation. The highest ethanol level 11 gL(-1) was achieved at initial pH of 6 and 100 rpm shaking rate from a hydrolysate containing 48 gL(-1) total reducing sugar. The corresponding alcohol yield and volumetric productivity were 0.32 gg(-1) and 0.065 gL(-1)h(-1).     

Production of pullulan from xylose and hemicellulose hydrolysate by Aureobasidium pullulans AY82 with pH control and DL-dithiothreitol addition

Xylose, the second most abundant sugar in lignocellulosic materials, is not efficiently utilized in current lignocellulose biotransformation processes, such as cellulosic ethanol production. The bioconversion of xylose to value-added products, such as pullulan, is an alternative strategy for efficient lignocellulose biotransformation. This paper reports the production of pullulan from xylose and hemicellulose hydrolysate by Aureobasidium pullulans AY82. The effects of DL-dithiothreitol (DTT) and pH on pullulan production from xylose were also intensively investigated. A maximal increase of 17.55% of pullulan production was observed in flasks added with 1.0 mM DTT. Batch fermentations with controlled pH were also conducted, and the optimal pH for cell growth and pullulan synthesis was 3.0 and 5.0, respectively. Based on these findings, two-stage pH control fermentations were performed, in which the pH of the medium was first adjusted to 3.0 for cell growth, and then changed to 5.0 for pullulan synthesis. However, the earlier the pH was changed to 5.0, the more pullulan was produced. Fermentation with controlled pH of 5.0 acquired the highest pullulan production. Under the optimized conditions (with the addition of 1.0 mM DTT and controlled pH of 5.0), the maximal pullulan production obtained from xylose was 17.63 g/L. A. pullulans AY82 also readily fermented hemicellulose hydrolysate under these optimized conditions, but with lower pullulan production (12.65 g/L). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography showed that the structure of the pullulan obtained in this study was identical to that of the pullulan standard.     

Detoxification of dilute acid hydrolysates of lignocellulose with lime

The hydrolysis of hemicellulose to monomeric sugars by dilute acid hydrolysis is accompanied by the production of inhibitors that retard microbial fermentation. Treatment of hot hydrolysate with Ca(OH)(2) (overliming) is an effective method for detoxification. Using ethanologenic Escherichia coli LY01 as the biocatalyst, our results indicate that the optimal lime addition for detoxification varies and depends on the concentration of mineral acids and organic acids in each hydrolysate. This optimum was shown to be readily predicted on the basis of the titration of hydrolysate with 2 N NaOH at ambient temperature to either pH 7.0 or pH 11.0. The average composition of 15 hydrolysates prior to treatment was as follows (per L): 95.24 +/- 7.29 g sugar, 5.3 +/- 2.99 g acetic acid, 1.305 +/- 0.288 g total furans (furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural), and 2.86 +/- 0.34 g phenolic compounds. Optimal overliming resulted in a 51 +/- 9% reduction of total furans, a 41 +/- 6% reduction in phenolic compounds, and a 8.7 +/- 4.5% decline in sugar. Acetic acid levels were unchanged. Considering the similarity of microorganisms, it is possible that the titration method described here may also prove useful for detoxification and fermentation processes using other microbial biocatalysts.     

An improvement in Pichia stipitis fermentation of acid-hydrolysed hemicellulose achieved by overliming (calcium hydroxide treatment) and strain adaptation

The fermentability of a corn cob, acid-hydrolysed hemicellulose by Pichia stipitis was considerably improved by pre-treatment with Ca(OH)₂. The total sugars utilized and ethanol yield for the untreated hydrolysate were 18% and 0.21 g/g, respectively, compared with 82% and 0.32 g/g respectively for the treated material. Adaptation of the yeast to the hydrolysate resulted in a significantly higher fermentation rate with over 90% of the initial total sugars being utilized and an ethanol yield and maximum ethanol concentration of 0.41 g/g and 13.3 g/l, respectively.The authors are with the USDA Forest Products Laboratory.
