Production of L(+)-lactic acid from glucose and starch by immobilized cells of Rhizopus oryzae in a rotating fibrous bed bioreactor

A rotating fibrous-bed bioreactor (RFB) was developed for fermentation to produce L(+)-lactic acid from glucose and cornstarch by Rhizopus oryzae. Fungal mycelia were immobilized on cotton cloth in the RFB for a prolonged period to study the fermentation kinetics and process stability. The pH and dissolved oxygen concentration (DO) were found to have significant effects on lactic acid productivity and yield, with pH 6 and 90% DO being the optimal conditions. A high lactic acid yield of 90% (w/w) and productivity of 2.5 g/L.h (467 g/h.m(2)) was obtained from glucose in fed-batch fermentation. When cornstarch was used as the substrate, the lactic acid yield was close to 100% (w/w) and the productivity was 1.65 g/L.h (300 g/h.m(2)). The highest concentration of lactic acid achieved in these fed-batch fermentations was 127 g/L. The immobilized-cells fermentation in the RFB gave a virtually cell-free fermentation broth and provided many advantages over conventional fermentation processes, especially those with freely suspended fungal cells. Without immobilization with the cotton cloth, mycelia grew everywhere in the fermentor and caused serious problems in reactor control and operation and consequently the fermentation was poor in lactic acid production. Oxygen transfer in the RFB was also studied and the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficients under various aeration and agitation conditions were determined and then used to estimate the oxygen transfer rate and uptake rate during the fermentation. The results showed that the oxygen uptake rate increased with increasing DO, indicating that oxygen transfer was limited by the diffusion inside the mycelial layer.     

Lactic acid fermentation in a recycle batch reactor using immobilized Lactobacillus casei

Lactic acid production by recycle batch fermentation using immobilized cells of Lactobacillus casei subsp. rhamnosus was studied. The culture medium was composed of whey treated with an endoprotease, and supplemented with 2.5 g/L of yeast extract and 0.18 mM Mn(2+) ions. The fermentation set-up comprised of a column packed with polyethyleneimine-coated foam glass particles, Pora-bact A, and connected with recirculation to a stirred tank reactor vessel for pH control. The immobilization of L. casei was performed simply by circulating the culture medium inoculated with the organism over the beads. At this stage, a long lag period preceded the cell growth and lactic acid production. Subsequently, for recycle batch fermentations using the immobilized cells, the reducing sugar concentration of the medium was increased to 100 g/L by addition of glucose. The lactic acid production started immediately after onset of fermentation and the average reactor productivity during repeated cycles was about 4.3 to 4.6 g/L . h, with complete substrate utilization and more than 90% product yield. Sugar consumption and lactate yield were maintained at the same level with increase in medium volume up to at least 10 times that of the immobilized biocatalyst. The liberation of significant amounts of cells into the medium limited the number of fermentation cycles possible in a recycle batch mode. Use of lower yeast extract concentration reduced the amount of suspended biomass without significant change in productivity, thereby also increasing the number of fermentation cycles, and even maintained the D-lactate amount at low levels. The product was recovered from the clarified and decolorized broth by ion-exchange adsorption. (c) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 55:841-853, 1997.     

Repeated fed-batch lactic acid production in a packed bed-stirred fermentor system using a pH feedback feeding method

Lactic acid production by repeated fed-batch fermentation using free and immobilized cells of Lactobacillus lactis-11 in a packed bed-stirred fermentor (PBSF) system filled with different support materials including ceramic beads, macro-activated carbon cylinders and glass fiber balls was investigated. The results showed that the optimal support materials were the ceramic beads with diameters of 1–2 mm. Compared with the free cell fermentation system, lactic acid production and volumetric productivity in the PBSF system increased by 16.6 and 12.5%, respectively. Though the concentration of free cells decreased sharply, lactic acid production remained stable in five consecutive fed-batch runs using the PBSF system. pH gradients, immobilized cell concentration and mass diffusion in the packed bed were all affected by the recirculation rate of the culture broth. Maximum lactic acid production, productivity and yield occurred at a recirculation rate of 50 mL min⁻¹.     

Optimisation of media and cultivation conditions for L(+)(S)-lactic acid production by Lactobacillus casei NRRL B-441

Process variables and concentration of carbon in media were optimised for lactic acid production by Lactobacillus casei NRRL B-441. Lactic acid yield was inversely proportional to initial glucose concentration within the experimental area (80-160 g l(-1)). The highest lactic acid concentration in batch fermentation, 118.6 g l(-1), was obtained with 160 g 1(-1) glucose. The maximum volumetric productivity, 4.4 g 1(-1) h(-1) at 15 h, was achieved at an initial glucose concentration of 100 g l(-1). Similar lactic acid concentrations were reached with a fedbatch approach using growing cells, in which case the fermentation time was much shorter. Statistical experimental design and response surface methodology were used for optimising the process variables. The temperature and pH optima for lactic acid production were 35 degrees C, pH 6.3. Malt sprout extract supplemented with yeast extract (4 g l(-1)) appeared to be an economical alternative to yeast extract alone (22 g l(-1)) although the fermentation time was a little longer. The results demonstrated both the separation of the growth and lactic acid production phases and lactic acid production by non-growing cells without any nutrient supplements. Resting L. casei cells converted 120 g l(-1) glucose to lactic acid with 100% yield and a maximum volumetric productivity of 3.5 g l(-1) h(-1).     

Lactic acid production from cellulosic waste by immobilized cells of Lactobacillus delbrueckii

Industrial waste corn cob residue (from xylose manufacturing) without pretreatment was hydrolyzed by cellulase and cellobiase. The cellulosic hydrolysate contained 52.4 g l⁻¹ of glucose and was used as carbon source for lactic acid fermentation by cells of Lactobacillus delbrueckii ZU-S2 immobilized in calcium alginate gel beads. The final concentration of lactic acid and the yield of lactic acid from glucose were 48.7 g l⁻¹ and 95.2%, respectively, which were comparative to the results of pure glucose fermentation. The immobilized cells were quite stable and reusable, and the average yield of lactic acid from glucose in the hydrolysate was 95.0% in 12 repeated batches of fermentation. The suitable dilution rate of continuous fermentation process was 0.13 h⁻¹, and the yield of lactic acid from glucose and the productivity were 92.4% and 5.746 g l⁻¹ h⁻¹, respectively. The production of lactic acid by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process was carried out in a coupling bioreactor, the final concentration of lactic acid was 55.6 g l⁻¹, the conversion efficiency of lactic acid from cellulose was 91.3% and the productivity was 0.927 g l⁻¹ h⁻¹. By using fed-batch technique in the SSF process, the final concentration of lactic acid and the productivity increased to 107.6 g l⁻¹ and 1.345 g l⁻¹ h⁻¹, respectively, while the dosage of cellulase per gram substrate decreased greatly. This research work should advance the bioconversion of renewable cellulosic resources and reduce environmental pollution.     

Extractive lactic acid fermentation using ion-exchange resin

Lactic acid fermentation is an end-product-inhibited reaction. The restriction imposed by lactic acid on its fermentation can be avoided by extractive fermentation techniques. Studies were performed by attaching an ion-exchange resin packed column with a 2-L fermentor for separation of lactic acid. The fermentation, in a conventional batch mode, resulted in a lactic acid yield of 0.828 g . g(-1) and a lactic acid productivity of 0.313 g . L(-1) . h(-1). However, these could be further enhanced to 0.929 g . g(-1) and 1.665 g . L(-1) . h(-1) by extractive fermentation techniques. The effect of temperature on extractive fermentation was remarkable and has been included in this work.     

Display of alpha-amylase on the surface of Lactobacillus casei cells by use of the PgsA anchor protein, and production of lactic acid from starch

We developed a new cell surface engineering system based on the PgsA anchor protein from Bacillus subtilis. In this system, the N terminus of the target protein was fused to the PgsA protein and the resulting fusion protein was expressed on the cell surface. Using this new system, we constructed a novel starch-degrading strain of Lactobacillus casei by genetically displaying alpha-amylase from the Streptococcus bovis strain 148 with a FLAG peptide tag (AmyAF). Localization of the PgsA-AmyA-FLAG fusion protein on the cell surface was confirmed by immunofluorescence microscopy and flow cytometric analysis. The lactic acid bacteria which displayed AmyAF showed significantly elevated hydrolytic activity toward soluble starch. By fermentation using AmyAF-displaying L. casei cells, 50 g/liter of soluble starch was reduced to 13.7 g/liter, and 21.8 g/liter of lactic acid was produced within about 24 h. The yield in terms of grams of lactic acid produced per gram of carbohydrate utilized was 0.60 g per g of carbohydrate consumed at 24 h. Since AmyA was immobilized on the cells, cells were recovered after fermentation and used repeatedly. During repeated utilization of cells, the lactic acid yield was improved to 0.81 g per g of carbohydrate consumed at 72 h. These results indicate that efficient simultaneous saccharification and fermentation from soluble starch to lactic acid were carried out by recombinant L. casei cells with cell surface display of AmyA.     

Production of l (+) lactic acid by Lactobacillus delbrueckii immobilized in functionalized alginate matrices

The role of functionalized alginate gels as immobilized matrices in production of l (+) lactic acid by Lactobacillus delbrueckii was studied. L. delbrueckii cells immobilized in functionalized alginate beads showed enhanced bead stability and selectivity towards production of optically pure l (+) lactic acid in higher yields (1.74Yp/s) compared to natural alginate. Palmitoylated alginate beads revealed 99% enantiomeric selectivity (ee) in production of l (+) lactic acid. Metabolite analysis during fermentation indicated low by-product (acetic acid, propionic acid and ethanol) formation on repeated batch fermentation with functionalized immobilized microbial cells. The scanning electron microscopic studies showed dense entrapped microbial cell biomass in modified immobilized beads compared to native alginate. Thus the methodology has great importance in large-scale production of optically pure lactic acid.
