1, 3-丙二醇发酵过程中盐浓度的胁迫作用

通过对克雷伯氏菌(Klebsiella pneumoniae)甘油发酵生产1, 3-丙二醇(1, 3-PD)过程的研究发现, 盐浓度对 1, 3-PD发酵有胁迫作用。盐浓度较低时, 菌体生长和产物生成均维持较高速率; 盐浓度较高时会导致菌体生长减慢, 1, 3-PD最终浓度, 甘油到1, 3-丙二醇的转化率降低, 同时1, 3-丙二醇氧化还原酶受到抑制。在5 m3罐中控制合适的盐浓度可以提高1, 3-PD的发酵水平, 使1, 3-PD的最终浓度达到64 g/L, 转化率61%, 生产强度2.1 g/(L·h)。

Evaluation of Medium Components by Plackett-Burman Statistical Design for Lipase Production by Candida rugosa and Kinetic Modeling

Lipase production by Candida rugosa was carried out in submerged fermentation. Plackett-Burman statistical experimental design was applied to evaluate the fermentation medium components. The effect of twelve medium components was studied in sixteen experimental trials. Glucose, olive oil, peptone and FeCl3?6H2O were found to have more significance on lipase production by Candida rugosa. Maximum lipase activity of 3.8 u mL-1 was obtained at 50 h of fermentation period. The fermentation was carried out at optimized temperature of 30oC, initial pH of 6.8 and shaking speed of 120 r/min. Unstructured kinetic models were used to simulate the experimental data. Logistic model, Luedeking-Piret model and modified Luedeking-Piret model were found suitable to efficiently predict the cell mass, lipase production and glucose consumption respectively with high determination coefficient(R2). From the estimated values of the Luedeking-Piret kinetic model parameters, α and β, it was found that the lipase production by Candida rugosa is growth associated.
