The microcolony technique enables the effects of several atmospheric conditions on fungal growth to be studied by measuring
the radius of the colony, while excluding effects of those conditions on germination of the sporangiospores. Various concentrations
of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the gas environment were found to influence growth of Rhizopus oligosporus on malt extract/soya peptone/agar. The maximum radial growth rate was 1.48 mm/h and the maximum specific growth rate was
0.109 h-1 at 30 °C. Oxygen became limiting below 1% (v/v), but growth remained possible at levels of 0.001% oxygen. Carbon dioxide
stimulated growth at limiting oxygen levels. The specific growth rate increased from 0.043 h-1 at 0.5% (v/v) oxygen and 0% (v/v) carbon dioxide to 0.096 h-1 at 0.5% (v/v) oxygen and 5% (v/v) carbon dioxide. A mixture of 0.5% (v/v) oxygen and 35% (v/v) carbon dioxide inhibited growth.
Delay of sporangiospore germination due to low (less than 0.001%) amounts of oxygen was not observed with the techniques used.
Fungal activity in a rotating drum fermentor was more strongly affected by low levels of oxygen than was biomass formation
on model media. High concentrations of carbon dioxide inhibited growth in the rotating drum fermentor at non-limiting levels
of oxygen. It is concluded that aeration and heat removal are both essential aspects of optimization of large-scale solid-substrate
bioreactors with Rh. oligosporus.

An attempt was made to find out the optimum aeration and agitation rates on the production of bacterial rennet from Bacillus sublilis K-26 using 5% wheat bran medium in a 13 liter fermentor. The enzyme activity and the growth rate were shown to increase with an increase in the rate of agitation. The fermentation experiments carried out at an agitation rate of 400 rpm showed an approximate threefold increase in enzyme activity with a considerable decrease in the fermentation time over those agitated at 200 and 300 rpm. The beneficial effect of a higher oxygen rate was observed for enzyme production occurring at a lower agitation rate. The inoculum activity and the varying amounts of antifoam agent which were added showed no apparent effect either on the total incubation time or on the final enzyme activity. It has been suggested that an agitation rate of 400 rpm with an aeration level of 3000 cc/min are the optimum values for the efficient production of bacterial rennet from B. subtilis K-26 using 5% wheat bran medium in a 13 liter fermentor. 相似文献

This work aimed to develop the submerged cultivation conditions for improved exopolysaccharides (EPS) production by Armillaria luteo-virens Sacc. The effects of culture temperature, aeration rate, inoculum level, initial pH, and additives on EPS formation and mycelial
growth are investigated. The aeration rate, initial pH, and inoculum level significantly affected EPS production under the
submerged cultivation. The developed conditions were as follows: cultivation temperature 23 °C, initial pH 5.0, aeration rate
0.5 vvm, 0.5% Tween 80, inoculum level 5% (v/v), and shaking speed 120 r/min. Under the developed conditions, the highest
EPS production was 13.01 g/L at 5 days culture time. EPS production was examined in a 5 L bioreactor, and an unstructured
kinetic model for EPS formation was well developed. The verified investigations in the large-scale cultivation system showed
that the developed models are able to predict the submerged cultivation process of EPS formation. Current results revealed
that the submerged cultivation conditions can be utilized to control EPS production, and the unstructured models developed
are suitable for explaining EPS production by A. luteo-virens Sacc QH in a large-scale cultivation bioreactor. 相似文献

Hairy root cultures have demonstrated great promise in terms of their biosynthetic capability toward the production of secondary
metabolites, but continue to constitute a major challenge with regard to large-scale cultures. In order to assess the possibility
of conducting mass production of biomass, and the extraction of useful metabolites fromPanax ginseng. P. ginseng hairy roots, transformed byRhizobium rhizogenes KCTC 2744, were used in bioreactors of different types and sizes. The most effective mass production of hairy roots was achieved
in several differently sized air bubble bioreactors compared to all other bioreactor types. Hairy root growth was enhanced
by aeration, and the production increased with increasing aeration rate in a 1 L bioreactor culture. It was determined that
the hairy root growth rate could be substantially enhanced by increases in the aeration rate upto 0.5 wm, but at aeration
rates above 0.5 wm, only slight promotions in growth rates were observed. In 20 L air bubble bioreactors, with a variety of
inoculum sizes, the hairy roots exhibited the most robust growth rates with an inoculum size of 0.1% (w/v), within the range
0.1 to 0.7% (w/v). The specific growth rates of the hairy roots decreased with increases in the inoculum size. 相似文献

The effect of increasing the partial pressure of oxygen in the aeration gas on growth and physiological activity of the yeast Candida utilis in a multistage tower fermentor was studied. The measurements were made at steady states of continuous culture for single values of dilution rate, temperature, and pH in all stages of the fermentor and with one given ethanol concentration in the growth medium feed. The partial pressure of oxygen in the gas phase was changed in the range from 165 to 310 torr. The results revealed the existence of the upper critical value of the partial oxygen pressure in the gas phase. It was demonstrated that the upper critical value of PO 2 influences not only the growth rate, biomass yield, and productivity but also the cell physiology resulting in changes of respiration activity and activity of alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenases. 相似文献

The effect of dissolved oxygen concentrations on the behavior of Serratia marcescens and on yields of asparaginase and prodigiosin produced in shaken cultures and in a 55-liter stainless-steel fermentor was studied. A range of oxygen transfer rates was obtained in 500-ml Erlenmeyer flasks by using internal, stainless-steel baffles and by varying the volume of medium per flask, and in the fermentor by high speed agitation (375 rev/min) or low rates of aeration (1.5 volumes of air per volume of broth per min), or both. Dissolved oxygen levels in the fermentation medium were measured with a membrane-type electrode. Peak yields of asparaginase were obtained in unbaffled flasks (3.0 to 3.8 IU/ml) and in the fermentor (2.7 IU/ml) when the level of dissolved oxygen in the culture medium reached zero. A low rate of oxygen transfer was accomplished by limited aeration. Production of prodigiosin required a supply of dissolved oxygen that was obtainable in baffled flasks with a high rate of oxygen transfer and in the fermentor with a combination of high-speed agitation and low-rate aeration. The fermentation proceeded at a more rapid rate and changes in pH and cell populations were accelerated by maintaining high levels of dissolved oxygen in the growth medium. 相似文献

Summary Batch cultivation of Aspergillus wentii, Wehmer, Pt 2804 was carried out on Mandels and Reese (1957) medium containing 3% cellulose and 0.3% peptone at 30°C in 14 and 30 liter Bioreactors. Use of a 48 hours old inoculum (10% v/v), 0.5 vvm aeration at 400–800 rpm and maintenance of dissolved oxygen and pH above 50% saturation level and between 5.2 to 4.0 respectively, produced 10.58 g cells/lit and 61.9 IU/1/hr cellobiase productivity. 相似文献

The effect of pH, aeration and mixing on the growth and production of carbonyl reductase by Candida viswanathii was investigated in a 6.6-l fermentor. Controlling the pH at 8.0 had a very significant effect on the enzyme production.
Aeration and agitation influenced the dissolved oxygen concentration which in turn affected growth as well as enzyme production.
A maximum carbonyl reductase activity (53 Umg−1) was attained in 24 h under the optimal cultivation conditions of controlled pH at 8.0, aeration rate 1 vvm and an agitation
speed of 250 rpm at 25°C. The enzyme activity was twice as high (56 Umg−1) in the fermentor as compared to a shake flask. Further, the duration of growth and enzyme production in the fermentor was
shortened. Cells cultivated under the optimized conditions were used for the preparative scale reduction of N, N-dimethyl-(3-keto)-2-thienyl-propanamine
to (S)-N, N-dimethyl-(3-hydroxy)-2-thienyl-propanamine, a key intermediate in the production of the important antidepressant drug
(S)-duloxetine. 相似文献

SummarySelf-directing optimization was successfully employed to determine the optimal combination of engineering parameters, viz., pH, aeration rate and agitation rate, for extracellular ribonuclease production by Aspergillus niger SA-13-20 in a batch bioreactor. Maximal RNase production of 5.38 IU ml–1 was obtained at controlled pH of 2.33, aeration rate of 1.67 v/v/m and agitation rate of 850 rev/min. The effect of oxygen on the fermentation was also investigated. With increase in volumetric oxygen transfer coefficients (KLa), cell growth and RNase production first increased and then decreased. RNase production was further increased to 7.10 IU ml–1 and the fermentation time was shortened from 96 to 72 h by controlling dissolved oxygen concentration at 10% saturation by aerating oxygen after about 28 h of fermentation under the above optimal condition. The kinetic model showed that RNase production by A. niger SA-13-20 was growth-associated. 相似文献

The production of enterotoxin A and nuclease by Staphylococcus aureus strain 100 was studied in a 1.0-liter fermentor. The effects of the gas flow rate, pH, and dissolved oxygen were evaluated. Toxin and nuclease secretion occurred under all conditions which permitted growth of the organism. Final yields of toxin and nuclease in cultures grown at constant air flow rates, ranging from 50 to 500 cm3 per min, were higher at successively higher flow rates. An optimum flow rate for either toxin or nuclease production was not observed. When the aeration rate alone or aeration rate and pH were held constant, the dissolved oxygen levels in the culture decreased from the initial 100% level to 0 to 5% 3 to 4 h after inoculation. The O2 demand of the culture then maintained this level for an additional 4 to 5 h. This low dissolved oxygen interval was characterized by rapid growth and extracellular protein production. Controlling the dissolved oxygen at a constant level throughout growth did not increase the final levels of toxin and nuclease above those achieved at the respective constant pH values. Growth under the influence of a constant aeration rate of 500 cm3 per min and a constant pH of 6.5 and 7.0 yielded the highest titers of nuclease (1,550 units/ml) and toxin (10.5 mug/ml) obtained in any of the fermentations conducted in this study. Sparging fermentor cultures with pure oxygen at a rate of 100 cm3 per min yielded growth and extracellular protein levels similar to those achieved at the sparge rate of 500 cm3 of air per min. Controlling the dissolved oxygen at 100% of pure oxygen saturation appeared to inhibit the culture, as the final cultural turbidity as well as the levels of toxin and nuclease were reduced. These data indicate that enterotoxin and nuclease secretions are closely associated with the growth of strain 100. Analyses of the production rates of these components indicated that early log phase was the most efficient production interval in the growth cycle and that this efficiency was increased by pH control at 6.7 to 6.8 and dissolved oxygen control at 10% of air saturation. 相似文献

Aims: To evaluate the effect of different physicochemical parameters such as agitation, aeration and pH on the growth and nitrile hydratase production by Rhodococcus erythropolis MTCC 1526 in a stirred tank reactor. Methods and Results: Rhodococcus erythropolis MTCC 1526 was grown in 7‐l reactor at different agitation, aeration and controlled pH. The optimum conditions for batch cultivation in the reactor were an agitation rate of 200 rev min?1, aeration 0·5 v/v/m at controlled pH 8. In this condition, the increase in nitrile hydratase activity was almost threefold compared to that in the shake flask. Conclusion: Agitation and aeration rate affected the dissolved‐oxygen concentration in the reactor which in turn affected the growth and enzyme production. Significance and Impact of the Study: Cultivation of R. erythropolis MTCC 1526 in the reactor was found to have significant effect on the growth and nitrile hydratase production when compared to the shake flask. 相似文献

A 22 m long. 20 liter tubular loop fermentor (TLF) has been tested for oxygen transfer characteristics and as a reactor for mycelial growth. Model calculations show that the flow pressure drop has an important influence on the axial oxygen profiles. A design model that accounts for this influence is presented. Using the model, KL a values are calculated from the results of sulfite oxidation experiments. These are correlated with power consumption and aeration rates. The KL a dependence on aeration rate was found to be less than found with tank reactors. The growth kinetics of three metabolite-producing mycelial organisms in the TLF are presented: a Streptomyces, a Fusarium, and a Acrophialophora. In order to determine the influence of reactor type on the growth and product formation, these cultures have been grown in tanks and shake flasks. The antibiotic, product spectrum of Streptomyces is compared on the basis of inhibition tests and it is shown that the distribution of products is reactor dependent. The Fusarium culture produced a previously unknown metabolite, whose concentration in the loop fermentor was four times higher than in a shake flask. The Acrophialophora culture grew twice as fast in the loop fermentor, but produced essentially none of the specific product. Power Consumptions of up to 8 kW/m3 in the tubular fermentor did not appear to harm the mycelia. 相似文献

Summary Varying the air flow rate (vvm) in a fermentor under constant drive speed, Claviceps purpurea dimorphism as well as alkaloid biosynthesis were greatly influenced. At a high flow rate (2.5 vvm) sclerotial growth was favoured in seed and in production media, while at a low air flow rate (1.0 vvm) sphacelial growth dominated. When using high flow rates the oxygen uptake rate was small, but at low flow rates it increased markedly. In both cases the alkaloid production was lower than at the intermediate value of 1.5 vvm of air flow rate, which proved to be optimal. This could be explained by the difference in the air/water interface and two-phase oxygen uptake. At a high air/water interface direct oxygen uptake from the gaseous phase prevails, while at a low air/water interface uptake is due to the oxygen liquid-phase only. Thus for optimal fungal development and alkaloid production a compromise between uptake from the liquid and the gaseous phase has to be established by a defined ratio between aeration and agitation. 相似文献

The addition of a limited concentration of yeast extract to a minimal salt medium (MSM) enhanced cell growth and increased
the production of curdlan whereas nitrogenlimitation was found to be essential for the higher production of curdlan byAgrobacterium sp. ATCC 31749. As the amount of the inoculum increased, the cell growth as well as the production of curdlan also increased
in the MSM without a nitrogen source. The cell growth and production of curdlan increased as the initial pH of the medium
decreased as low as 5.0. The conversion rate and concentration of curdlan from 2% (w/v) glucose in the MSM with concentrated
cells under nitrogen deletion was 67% and 13.4 g/L, respectively. The highest conversion rate of curdlan under the conditions
optimized in this study was 71% when the glucose concentration was 1% (w/v). 相似文献

Different dissolved oxygen concentrations and aeration rates were imposed on a stable mutant of Streptomyces fradiae during the antibiotic-producing phase. At high aeration rate (1 vvm), the tylosin yield in the fermentor broth with dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations controlled close to 100% saturation (6-8 ppm) increased 10% as against uncontrolled. The rates of cellular growth, oil consumption, and tylosin production were severely reduced when DO concentration fell below 25% saturation, but all resumed to their initial rates when DO was raised to saturation level again. The DO concentration in combination with air flow rate affected the pattern of the antibiotics produced. At high DO levels, an additional macrolide antibiotic, macrocin, was synthesized to more than one-third the amount of tylosin at high aeration rate (1 vvm). On the other hand, tylosin production rate remained constant and no significant amount of macrocin was produced at low aeration rate (0.2 vvm). 相似文献

Summary The rate of aeration of the medium in a solid state fermentation system for biomass production by Schwanniomyces castellii in a large column fermentor was found to influence the gradient of biomass yield at different bed heights. The variations were lower with a higher rate of aeration. These trends were used to formulate a successful strategy to ensure equal biomass yield at all the bed heights by controlling the level of CO2 at about 2% in exhaust air from the fermentor.

The growth kinetics of Streptomyces noursei NRRL 5126 was investigated under different aeration and agitation combinations in a 5.0 l stirred tank fermenter. Poly-epsilon-lysine biosynthesis, cell mass formation, and glycerol utilization rates were affected markedly by both aeration and agitation. An agitation speed of 300 rpm and aeration rate at 2.0 vvm supported better yields of 1,622.81 mg/l with highest specific productivity of 15 mg/l.h. Fermentation kinetics performed under different aeration and agitation conditions showed poly- epsilon-lysine fermentation to be a growth-associated production. A constant DO at 40% in the growth phase and 20% in the production phase increased the poly-epsilon-lysine yield as well as cell mass to their maximum values of 1,992.35 mg/l and 20.73 g/l, respectively. The oxygen transfer rate (OTR), oxygen utilization rate (OUR), and specific oxygen uptake rates (qO2) in the fermentation broth increased in the growth phase and remained unchanged in the stationary phase. 相似文献

Microbial beta-fructofuranosidases with transfructosylating activity can catalyze the transfructosylation of sucrose and synthesize fructooligosaccharides. Aspergillus japonicus NTU-1249 isolated from natural habitat was found to produce a significant amount of beta-fructofuranosidase with high transfructosylating activity and to have the potential for industrial production of fructooligosaccharides. In order to improve it's enzyme productivity, the medium composition and the cultivation conditions for A. japonicus NTU-1249 were studied. A. japonicus NTU-1249 can produce 83.5 units of transfructosylating activity per ml broth when cultivated in a shaking flask at 28 degrees C for 72 hours with a modified medium containing 80 g/l sucrose, 15 g/l soybean flour, 5 g/l yeast extract and 5 g/l NaCl at an initial pH of 6.0. The enzyme productivity was also optimized by submerged cultivation in a 5-litre jar fermentor with aeration at 1.5 vvm and agitation at 500 rpm. Under these operating conditions, the productivity of transfructosylating activity increased to 185.6 U/ml. Furthermore, the transfructosylating activity was improved to 256.1 U/ml in 1,000-litre pilot-scale fermentor. Enzymatic synthesis of fructooligosaccharides by beta-fructofuranosidase from A. japonicus NTU-1249 was performed in batch type by adding 5.6 units of transfructosylating activity per gram of sucrose to a 50% (w/v) sucrose solution at pH 5.0 and 50 degrees C. The yield of fructooligosaccharides was about 60% after reaction for 24 hours, and the syrup produced contained 29.8% (w/v) fructooligosaccharides, 15.2% (w/v) glucose and 5.0% (w/v) sucrose. 相似文献
