L-乳酸的发酵生产和聚L-乳酸的化学加工

L-乳酸广泛应用于食品、医药、日化和工业等各个领域。近年来随着石化资源的不断紧缺,众多化学合成的高分子材料的生产受到了限制。以生物质资源为基础的L-乳酸因此被大量用于加工生产成聚L-乳酸等环境友好型生物可降解材料。正是由于L-乳酸需求量的增大,如何高效低成本地生产L-乳酸显得尤为重要。系统综述了L-乳酸生产菌株的选育,用于L-乳酸发酵生产的廉价资源的开发利用,L-乳酸的发酵生产和L-乳酸的分离纯化等方面的研究进展。目前研究的热点和难点正是基于上述四个部分:菌种方面,以可以高效代谢利用廉价底物,且营养需求低的选育目标获得了多个优良的生产菌种,然而具备综合代谢优势的菌种还有待进一步选育;发酵底物方面,已开发利用多种廉价,来源丰富且易于菌种代谢并高效转化成乳酸的底物,但是对这些底物工业规模应用还有待进一步研究;发酵工艺方面,建立了环境友好型,劳动强度低的发酵工艺,然而实际应用中仍然存在成本高的问题;后提取方面,通过选育低营养需求的生产菌种和采用新型发酵工艺有效地简化了后提取过程,但是实际应用方面仍受发酵工艺成本高的制约。最后对聚L-乳酸的化学加工以及聚L-乳酸的生物降解进行了探讨并提出了一些建议。

Making Plastics from Garbage

We propose a novel recycling system for municipal food waste that combines fermentation and chemical processes to produce high-quality poly-L-lactate (PLLA) biodegradable plastics. The process consists of removal of endogenous D, L-lactic acid from minced food waste by a propionibacterium, L-lactic acid fermentation under semisolid conditions, L-lactic acid purification via butyl esterification, and L-lactic acid polymerization via LL-lactide. The total design of the process enables a high yield of PLLA with high optical activity (i.e., a high proportion of optical isomers) and novel recycling of all materials produced at each step, with energy savings and minimal emissions. Approximately 50% of the total carbon was removed, mostly as L-lactic acid, and 100 kg of collected food waste yielded 7.0 kg PLLA (about 34% of the total carbon). The physical properties of the PLLA yielded in this manner were comparable to those of PLLA generated from commercially available. L-lactic acid. Evaluation of the process is also discussed from the viewpoints of material and energy balances and environmental impact.

Effects of intermittent addition of cellulase for production of L-lactic acid from wastewater sludge by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation

An attempt was made to create L-lactic acid, a precursor of poly-lactic acid, which is a biodegradable plastic, from wastewater sludge from the paper-manufacturing industry. The sludge contained a high percentage of cellulose and needed to be hydrolyzed to glucose by the action of the cellulase before being treating with lactic acid bacteria. Therefore, a method involving simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) was carried out. The optimum pH of the SSF for production of the lactic acid by the newly isolated lactic acid bacterium with a high selectively of L-lactic acid was found out to be around pH = 5.0, and the optimum temperature to be approximately 40 degrees C. On the basis of the measurement of the cell density changes in the lactic acid bacteria, it was ascertained that the bacterial activity could continue at a high level for a relatively long period of time, and that the L-lactic acid productivity was diminished by the rapid deactivation of the cellulase. With the intermittent addition of cellulase once daily for the sake of compensating for the cellulase deactivation, the L-lactic acid attained a maximum concentration of 16.9 g/L, i.e., a 72.2% yield based on the potential glucose contained in the sludge under optimum pH and temperature conditions.     

高糖和氮源对鼠李糖乳杆菌(Lactobacillus rhamnosus)L-乳酸发酵的影响

鼠李糖乳杆菌经实验室耐高糖高酸选育,能够在高糖浓度下高效高产L-乳酸。以酵母粉为氮源和生长因子,葡萄糖初始浓度分别为120 g/L和146 g/L,摇瓶培养120h,L-乳酸产量分别为104g/L和117.5g/L,L-乳酸得率分别为86.7%和80.5%。高葡萄糖浓度对菌的生长和乳酸发酵有一定的抑制。增加接种量,在高糖浓度发酵条件下,可以缩短发酵时间,但对增加乳酸产量效果不明显。乳酸浓度对鼠李糖乳杆菌生长和产酸有显著的影响。初始乳酸浓度到达70g/L以上时,鼠李糖乳杆菌基本不生长和产酸,葡萄糖消耗也被抑制。酵母粉是鼠李糖乳杆菌的优良氮源,使用其它被测试的氮源菌体生长和产酸都有一定程度的下降。用廉价的黄豆粉并补充微量维生素液,替代培养基中的酵母粉,可以使产酸浓度和碳源得率得以基本维持。     

L-lactic acid: a human-signifying host cue for the anthropophilic mosquito Anopheles gambiae

Using a dual-choice olfactometer, the role of L-lactic acid was investigated in relation to host-seeking and selection by female Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes in a Y-tube bioassay. L-lactic acid alone was not attractive, but it significantly augmented the attractiveness of CO2, skin odour and skin-rubbing extracts from humans and other vertebrates. Comparing the left and right index fingers of the same person, one could be made more attractive than the other by adding L-lactic acid to the air stream over that finger. The difference in L-lactic acid concentration between the two air streams offered to the mosquitoes fell within the natural range of variation emanating from a human hand, suggesting that L-lactic acid modulates intraspecific host selection by An. gambiae. Analysis of skin rubbings from various vertebrates (carnivores, chickens, primates, rodents, ungulates) indicated that humans have uniquely high levels of L-lactic acid on their skin. Tests with extracts of skin rubbings from cows and humans, with and without added L-lactic acid, suggest that naturally lower levels of L-lactic acid contribute to the lesser attractiveness of non-humans to An. gambiae s.s.

High performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) assay for chiral separation of lactic acid enantiomers in urine using a teicoplanin based stationary phase

A novel method for the separation and simultaneous determination of urinary D- and L-lactic acid enantiomers by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) is presented. The chiral separation was optimized on a Chirobiotic teicoplanin aglyocone (TAG) column. Most interestingly, the addition of water in small volume fraction to the polar organic mobile phase was found to significantly improve the chromatography. Calibration curves were linear (r2>0.9950) over the range 3-1000 mg/L for L-lactic acid and 0.5-160.8 mg/L for D-lactic acid. The limit of detection (LOD) (S/N=3) and limit of quantification (LOQ) (S/N=10) were determined experimentally (n=3) to be 0.2 and 0.5mg/L for L-lactic acid and 0.4 and 1.3 mg/L for D-lactic acid, respectively. The normal patient range of L-lactic acid was 1-20 microg/mg creatinine with an elevated value of 85 microg/mg creatinine. For D-lactic acid, the range of normal values were between 0 and 5 microg/mg creatinine with an elevated value of 40 microg/mg creatinine. Finally, the validated method allows for rapid analysis with a total run time of 7.5 min.
