Amylolytic bacterial lactic acid fermentation - a review

Lactic acid, an enigmatic chemical has wide applications in food, pharmaceutical, leather, textile industries and as chemical feed stock. Novel applications in synthesis of biodegradable plastics have increased the demand for lactic acid. Microbial fermentations are preferred over chemical synthesis of lactic acid due to various factors. Refined sugars, though costly, are the choice substrates for lactic acid production using Lactobacillus sps. Complex natural starchy raw materials used for production of lactic acid involve pretreatment by gelatinization and liquefaction followed by enzymatic saccharification to glucose and subsequent conversion of glucose to lactic acid by Lactobacillus fermentation. Direct conversion of starchy biomass to lactic acid by bacteria possessing both amylolytic and lactic acid producing character will eliminate the two step process to make it economical. Very few amylolytic lactic acid bacteria with high potential to produce lactic acid at high substrate concentrations are reported till date. In this view, a search has been made for various amylolytic LAB involved in production of lactic acid and utilization of cheaply available renewable agricultural starchy biomass. Lactobacillus amylophilus GV6 is an efficient and widely studied amylolytic lactic acid producing bacteria capable of utilizing inexpensive carbon and nitrogen substrates with high lactic acid production efficiency. This is the first review on amylolytic bacterial lactic acid fermentations till date.

Lactobacillus pentosus CECT 4023 T co-utilizes glucose and xylose to produce lactic acid from wheat straw hydrolysate: Anaerobiosis as a key factor

Lactic acid is a versatile chemical that can be produced via fermentation of lignocellulosic materials. The heterolactic strain Lactobacillus pentosus CECT 4023 T, that can consume glucose and xylose, was studied to produce lactic acid from steam exploded wheat straw prehydrolysate. The effect of temperature and pH on bacterial growth was analyzed. Besides, the effect of oxygen on lactic acid production was tested and fermentation yields were compared in different scenarios. This strain showed very high tolerance to the inhibitors contained in the wheat straw prehydrolysate. The highest lactic acid yields based on present sugar, around 0.80 g g⁻¹, were obtained from glucose in presence of 25%, 50%, and 75% v v⁻¹ of prehydrolysate in strict anaerobiosis. Lactic fermentation of wheat straw hydrolysate obtained after enzymatic hydrolysis of the prehydrolysate yielded 0.39 g of lactic acid per gram of released sugars, which demonstrated the high potential of L. pentosus to produce lactic acid from hemicellulosic hydrolysates. Results presented herein not only corroborated the ability of L. pentosus to grow using mixtures of sugars, but also demonstrated the suitability of this strain to be applied as an efficient lactic acid producer in a lignocellulosic biorefinery approach. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Maple sap as a rich medium to grow probiotic lactobacilli and to produce lactic acid

Aims: To demonstrate the feasibility of growing lactobacilli and producing lactic acid using maple sap as a sugar source and to show the importance of oligosaccharides in the processes. Methods and Results: Two maple sap samples (Cetta and Pinnacle) and purified sucrose were used as carbon sources in the preparation of three culture media. Compared with the sucrose‐based medium, both maple sap‐based media produced increased viable counts in two strains out of five by a factor of four to seven. Maple sap‐based media also enhanced lactic acid production in three strains. Cetta sap was found to be more efficient than Pinnacle sap in stimulating lactic acid production and, was also found to be richer in various oligosaccharides. The amendment of the Pinnacle‐based medium with trisaccharides significantly stimulated Lactobacillus acidophilus AC‐10 to grow and produce lactic acid. Conclusions: Maple sap, particularly if rich in oligosaccharides, represents a good carbon source for the growth of lactobacilli and the production of lactic acid. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study provides a proof‐of‐concept, using maple sap as a substrate for lactic acid production and for the development of a nondairy probiotic drink.     

Neutralization/recovery of lactic acid from Lactococcus lactis: effects on biomass,lactic acid,and nisin production

Besides lactic acid, many lactic acid bacteria also produce proteinaceous metabolites (bacteriocins) such as nisin. As catabolite repression and end-product inhibition limit production of both products, we have investigated the use of alternative methods of supplying substrate and neutralizing or extracting lactic acid to increase yields. Fed-batch fermentation trials using a stillage-based medium with pH control by NH4OH resulted in improved lactic acid (83.4 g/l, 3.18 g/l/h, 95% yield) and nisin (1,260 IU/ml, 84,000 IU/l/h, 14,900 IU/g) production. Removing particulate matter from the stillage-based medium increased nisin production (1,590 IU/ml, 33,700 IU/g), but decreased lactic acid production (58.5 g/l, 1.40 g/l/h, 96% yield). Removing lactic acid by ion exchange resins stimulated higher lactic acid concentrations (60 to 65 g/l) and productivities (2.0 to 2.6 g/l/h) in the filtered stillage medium at the expense of nisin production (1,500 IU/ml, 25,800 IU/g).     

Batch fermentations on synthetic mixed sugar and starch medium with amylolytic lactic acid bacteria

The green crop drying industry in Denmark uses Italian rye grass, clover, and alfalfa as raw materials for the production of green pellets. The green crop drying industry solves its energy economical problems by heating and pressing of the green crop before drying. The produced sidestream is called brown juice. Brown juice was shown to be an excellent medium for lactic acid fermentation. The aim of this study was to investigate the utilisation of brown juice in the production of polylactic acid, where wheat starch would be added to increase the lactic acid yield and, thus, the feasibility of the process. A number of amylolytic lactic acid bacteria have been identified, and in this work, six different strains were tested for their ability to produce α-amylase and to utilise all sugars with high lactic acid yield in a medium with a complex composition of free sugars (brown juice) and starch. Lactobacillus plantarum A6 was the only strain that showed both a good lactic acid production and utilisation of starch in this medium. The growth rate of this strain was approximately 0.4 h⁻¹ and the lactic acid yield was 0.7.
