Efficient butanol production under aerobic conditions by coculture of Clostridium acetobutylicum and Nesterenkonia sp. strain F

Clostridium acetobutylicum is widely used for the microbial production of butanol in a process known as acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) fermentation. However, this process suffers from several disadvantages including high oxygen sensitivity of the bacterium which makes the process complicated and necessitate oxygen elimination in the culture medium. Nesterenkonia sp. strain F has attracted interests as the only known non-Clostridia microorganism with inherent capability of butanol production even in the presence of oxygen. This bacterium is not delimited by oxygen sensitivity, a challenge in butanol biosynthesis, but the butanol titer was far below Clostridia. In this study, Nesterenkonia sp. strain F was cocultivated with C. acetobutylicum to form a powerful “coculture” for butanol production thereby eliminating the need for oxygen removal before fermentation. The response surface method was used for obtaining optimal inoculation amount/time and media formulation. The highest yield, 0.31 g/g ABE (13.6 g/L butanol), was obtained by a coculture initiated with 1.5 mg/L Nesterenkonia sp. strain F and inoculated with 15 mg/L C. acetobutylicum after 1.5 hr in a medium containing 67 g/L glucose, 2.2 g/L yeast extract, 4 g/L peptone, and 1.4% (vol/vol) P2 solution. After butanol toxicity assessment, where Nesterenkonia sp. strain F showed no butanol toxicity, the coculture was implemented in a 2 L fermenter with continual aeration leading to 20 g/L ABE.

ARTP mutation and genome shuffling of ABE fermentation symbiotic system for improvement of butanol production

Butanol is an ideal renewable biofuel which possesses superior fuel properties. Previously, butanol-producing symbiotic system TSH06 was isolated in our lab, with microoxygen tolerance ability. To boost butanol yield for large-scale industrial production, TSH06 was used as parental strain and subjected to atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP) and four rounds of genome shuffling (GS). ARTP mutant and GS strain were co-cultured with facultative anaerobic Bacillus cereus TSH2 to form a symbiotic system with microoxygen tolerance, which was then subjected to fermentation. Relative messenger RNA (mRNA) level of key enzyme gene was measured by real-time PCR. The highest butanol titer of TS4-30 reached 15.63 g/L, which was 34% higher than TSH06 (12.19 g/L). Compared with parental strain, mRNA of acid-forming gene in TS4-30 decreased in acidogenesis phase, while solvent-forming gene increased in solventogenesis phase. This gene expression pattern was consistent with high butanol yield and low acid level in TS4-30. In summary, symbiotic system TS4-30 was obtained with butanol titer improvement and microoxygen tolerance.

     

High-titer n-butanol production by clostridium acetobutylicum JB200 in fed-batch fermentation with intermittent gas stripping

Acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) fermentation with a hyper‐butanol producing Clostridium acetobutylicum JB200 was studied for its potential to produce a high titer of butanol that can be readily recovered with gas stripping. In batch fermentation without gas stripping, a final butanol concentration of 19.1 g/L was produced from 86.4 g/L glucose consumed in 78 h, and butanol productivity and yield were 0.24 g/L h and 0.21 g/g, respectively. In contrast, when gas stripping was applied intermittently in fed‐batch fermentation, 172 g/L ABE (113.3 g/L butanol, 49.2 g/L acetone, 9.7 g/L ethanol) were produced from 474.9 g/L glucose in six feeding cycles over 326 h. The overall productivity and yield were 0.53 g/L h and 0.36 g/g for ABE and 0.35 g/L h and 0.24 g/g for butanol, respectively. The higher productivity was attributed to the reduced butanol concentration in the fermentation broth by gas stripping that alleviated butanol inhibition, whereas the increased butanol yield could be attributed to the reduced acids accumulation as most acids produced in acidogenesis were reassimilated by cells for ABE production. The intermittent gas stripping produced a highly concentrated condensate containing 195.9 g/L ABE or 150.5 g/L butanol that far exceeded butanol solubility in water. After liquid–liquid demixing or phase separation, a final product containing ～610 g/L butanol, ～40 g/L acetone, ～10 g/L ethanol, and no acids was obtained. Compared to conventional ABE fermentation, the fed‐batch fermentation with intermittent gas stripping has the potential to reduce at least 90% of energy consumption and water usage in n‐butanol production from glucose.
