氨水流加用于粪产碱杆菌热凝胶发酵

热凝胶是粪产碱杆菌(Alcaligenes faecalis)在氮源限制条件下生成的水不溶性胞外多糖,分泌到胞外后就附着在菌体外壁,因此在细胞生长期提高生物量对促进热凝胶合成有重要意义。热凝胶分批发酵时, 起始NH4Cl浓度提高到3.6 g/L时能促进菌体生长和热凝胶合成,但是过量NH4Cl会抑制热凝胶合成,且生物量提高不是很明显。为了进一步提高菌体浓度, 在菌体生长期, 氨水取代NaOH溶液进行流加控制pH为7.0, 随后又用2 mol/L NaOH控制pH 5.6。实验表明, 氨水流加使菌体浓度大大提高,流加24 h使菌体浓度达到18.8 g/L。但是菌体浓度过高也会抑制热凝胶的合成,在氨水流加14 h时,菌体浓度在11.9 g/L左右, 热凝胶产量最高（72 g/L）。     

氮源NH4Cl浓度对粪产碱杆菌发酵生产热凝胶的影响

研究了利用粪产碱杆菌(Alcaligenes faecalis)发酵生产热凝胶的发酵条件,氮源是菌体生长的限制性底物,单纯地提高初始底物(氮源)浓度并不一定能促进细菌的生长和产物的合成.在分批发酵过程中,底物消耗导致培养环境pH的改变也是影响细菌进一步生长和产物合成的重要因素.通过增加培养基中初始氯化铵的浓度并同时控制发酵过程的pH条件,得到了较高的菌体浓度,热凝胶的合成水平也得到了显提高.当培养基中NH4Cl浓度提高到3.6g/L时,菌体浓度达到7.2g/L,热凝胶合成的产量可达30.5g/L,比原来NH4Cl浓度为1.1g/L时提高了51.7%.提高菌体浓度意味着需要提高溶氧水平来满足细菌的生长和代谢.初始氮源NH4Cl浓度的增加虽然能使菌体浓度得到提高,但发酵过程对溶氧的需求也相应增加,需要提高搅拌转速和通风以增加供氧水平.但高搅拌速率产生的高剪切力对热凝胶的凝胶性能将产生破坏作用,因此在发酵过程中需要综合考虑细菌培养密度对合成热凝胶产量和质量的影响.     

不同的底物流加方式对Alcaligenes faecalis发酵生产热凝胶的影响

目的：研究了在不同阶段、不同的底物流加方式及底物浓度对菌体生长和热凝胶合成的影响,并对粪产碱杆菌WX—C12（Alcaligenes faecalis）发酵生产热凝胶的补料工艺进行了优化。方法：15L发酵罐发酵生产热凝胶,改变培养基中氮源、碳源浓度及流加方式,测定残氮、残糖、菌体浓度及热凝胶产量的变化,确定较优的补料工艺。结果：在菌体生长阶段用氨水控制pH在7．0,可使培养基中氮源浓度维持相对稳定状态,且NH,a初始浓度较低（O．5gtL）更适合菌体生长;热凝胶合成阶段采用葡萄糖连续流加优于间歇补加培养。菌体浓度为11．9g／L时,热凝胶产量最高（72g／L）,产物得率Vp／s为78．8％;当菌体浓度再增加时,热凝胶产量反而下降。结论：确定了粪产碱杆菌发酵生产热凝胶的较优工艺条件,热凝胶产量最高为72g／L,比分批发酵28g/L增加了157％。

真养产碱杆菌积聚-β-羟基丁酸发酵条件的研究

igenes eutrophus培养过程的研究表明,氮源的限制或缺乏可刺激细胞大量积累聚-β-羟基丁酸(PHB),但PHB合成期氮源的完全缺乏,会导致细胞的PHB合成速率迅速下降;氧的限制也可刺激A.eutrophus合成PHB,但胞内PHB的积累量远小于氮源控制下的情况。在细胞的不同生长期限制氮源的供应会明显影响PHB的发酵过程,当残留菌体浓度达到20g/L至30g/L时停止流加氨水,可以得到较好的发酵水平,细胞干重,PHB含量和PHB浓度可分别达到61.9g/L、80.5%和49.0g/L。     

酪氨酸流加方式对重组大肠杆菌发酵生产L-苯丙氨酸的影响

研究了流加浓度对酪氨酸重组大肠杆菌Escherichia coli BR-165(pAP-B03)发酵生产L-苯丙氨酸的影响.结果表明,诱导后L-酪氨酸流加加速了菌体的生长,提高了生产强度,缩短了发酵周期.在流加浓度为75 mg/h时,最大菌体干重达到了40.13 g/L(对照11.48 g/L),生产周期缩短到30 h(对照48 h),生产强度达到1.409 g/h/L(对照0.876 g/h/L).但是L-酪氨酸的流加对L-苯丙氨酸的最终产量没有明显的影响,因此可认为流加酪氨酸是减少发酵时间并提高生产强度的有效方法.本研究获得的酪氨酸流加方式对L-苯丙氨酸的工业化生产具有一定的指导意义.

An increase of curdlan productivity by integration of carbon/nitrogen sources control and sequencing dual fed-batch fermentors operation

Curdlan is produced by Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31749 under nitrogen-limited conditions not associated with cell growth. A novel curdlan production process was developed based on the different nutrient requirements for microbial cell growth and its efficiency was increased by integrating carbon/nitrogen sources control and sequencing dual fed-batch fermentors operation. By feeding ammonium solution to supply abundant nitrogen source and controlling pH in Fermentor I, cell growth was accelerated. High cell density of 29 g/L was attained. The culture broth in Fermentor I was then inoculated into sequencing Fermentor II which alleviated the high requirement for dissolved oxygen and accumulation of inhibitory metabolic by-products during curdlan production. Fermentor I promoted cell growth. Curdlan production started instantaneously in Fermentor II. By feeding nutrient solution with high carbon/nitrogen ratio and NaOH solution for pH adjustment, a feasible and optimal curdlan production process was formulated. The productivity, conversion efficiency and curdlan yield were achieved of 0.98 g/(L h), 57% (w) and 67 g/L, respectively. Such novel process can be scaled up for significant cost reduction at the industrial level.     

低聚磷酸盐对粪产碱杆菌合成热凝胶的影响

A two stage continuous process for the production of thermogelable curdlan-type exopolysaccharide

Summary A laboratory-scale, two-stage continuous process for the production of curdlan-type exopolysaccharide has been operated in steady-state for 500hr. Two continuous flow, constant volume fermenters are connected in series. A stable, curdlan-producing strain of Alcaligenes faecalis var myxogenes ATCC 31749 is grown aerobically in a nitrogen-limited chemostat operating near D_max at 0.24 hr^–1. The effluent is introduced directly into a second larger constant volume fermenter which is being simultaneously fed a glucose solution at a fixed rate. Under sub-optimal conditions associated with curdlan production, the observed Qp was 0.05 g curdlan/g cell/hr. At a biomass level of 4 g/L in the second stage, curdlan was present at 10 g DW/L and the volumetric productivity was 0.2 g/g cell/hr. The substrate (glucose) conversion efficiency was 42%. The process is described in patents applied for on behalf of George Weston Ltd. (Toronto, Canada).     

Production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) by high cell density fed-batch culture of Alcaligenes eutrophus with phospate limitation

High cell density fed-batch fermentation of Alcaligenes eutrophus was carried out for the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) in a 60-L fermentor. During the fermentation, pH was controlled with NH(4)OH solution and PHB accumulation was induced by phosphate limitation instead of nitrogen limitation. The glucose feeding was controlled by monitoring dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration and glucose concentration in the culture broth. The glucose concentration fluctuated within the range of 0-20 g/L. We have investigated the effect of initial phosphate concentration on the PHB production when the initial volume was fixed. Using an initial phosphate concentration of 5.5 g/L, the fed-batch fermentation resulted in a final cell concentration of 281 g/L, a PHB concentration of 232 g/L, and a PHB productivity of 3.14 g/L . h, which are the highest values ever reported to date. In this case, PHB content, cell yield from glucose, and PHB yield from glucose were 80, 0.46, and 0.38% (w/w), respectively. (c) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 55: 28-32, 1997.     

不同的中和剂对L(+)-乳酸发酵的影响

分别利用CaCO3、6 mol/L氨水和6 mol/L NaOH溶液调控乳酸发酵过程的pH,得到的乳酸浓度为169.1g/L、187.9g/L和170.1g/L(以发酵液的初始体积计算),分别是无pH调控发酵过程的4.9倍、5.4倍和4.9倍;得到的OD620分别为19.3、21.6和16.4,分别是无pH调控(OD620为8.5)的2.3倍、2.5倍和1.9倍.相对于氨水和NaOH来说,CaCO3粉末是一种缓慢型的酸中和剂,pH调节能力有限,只能将pH维持在4.9～5.2.但CaCO3可以将乳酸以生成乳酸钙的形式沉淀下来,给下游乳酸的分离提取带来一定的方便.因此对于传统的分批式发酵,CaCO3仍不失为一种较好的选择.氨水和NaOH溶液都可以很好地将发酵液的pH调控在6.0,其中氨水是一种最理想的酸中和剂,既有利于乳酸的生物合成又能促进乳酸菌的生长.     

Optimal production of curdlan by Agrobacterium sp. with feedback inferential control of optimal pH profile

The pH control was important for curdlan production with Agrobacterium sp. ATCC31750. Specific cell growth rate was the highest at pH 7 and the specific curdlan production rate was at pH 5.5. The pH profiles maximizing curdlan production was changed from pH 7 optimal for cell growth to pH 5.5 optimal for curdlan production after ammonium consumption. The feedback inferential control methods, with easily measurable variables such as NaOH addition for pH control and dissolved oxygen (DO), were also applied. The pH was successfully controlled to follow optimal profiles and the maximal production of curdlan (60 g l^–1 in 120 h) was achieved with feedback optimal control.
