代谢副产物乙酸对L-色氨酸发酵的影响

分析了重组大肠杆菌(E.coli TRTH/pSV-709)发酵生产L-色氨酸的发酵过程,检测结果表明发酵液中有大量代谢副产物乙酸的积累。利用外源添加试验研究了乙酸对L-色氨酸发酵的影响,结果表明乙酸浓度高于2g/L时对L-色氨酸生产菌的生长和产酸均有抑制作用。分析了乙酸的产生机制,并采取了调节溶氧水平、确定合适初始葡萄糖浓度、限制葡萄糖流加及控制菌体比生长速率等措施来减少乙酸的生成。在优化条件下,乙酸含量与原工艺相比降低了51.35%,菌体生物量和L-色氨酸产量分别提高了51.07%和46.54%,实现了高密度发酵培养的目的。     

重组大肠杆菌利用蔗糖及糖蜜发酵生产丁二酸

富含蔗糖的甘蔗糖蜜可作为制备丁二酸的廉价原料。然而生产丁二酸的潜力菌株大肠杆菌Escherichia coli AFP111不能代谢蔗糖。为了使其具有蔗糖代谢能力,将E.coli W中非PTS蔗糖利用系统蔗糖通透酶的编码基因csc B,果糖激酶的编码基因csc K和蔗糖水解酶的编码基因csc A克隆并表达到AFP111中,获得重组菌株AFP111/p MD19T-csc BKA。经厌氧发酵验证,重组菌株72 h消耗20 g/L蔗糖,丁二酸产量达到12 g/L。在3L发酵罐中采用有氧阶段培养菌体、厌氧阶段发酵的两阶段发酵方式,厌氧发酵30 h,重组菌株以蔗糖和糖蜜为碳源丁二酸产量分别为34 g/L和30 g/L。结果表明,通过外源引入非PTS蔗糖利用系统,重组菌株具有较强的代谢蔗糖生长及合成丁二酸的能力,并且能够利用廉价糖蜜发酵制备丁二酸。     

Strain engineering to prevent norleucine incorporation during recombinant protein production in Escherichia coli

Incorporation of norleucine in place of methionine residues during recombinant protein production in Escherichia coli is well known. Continuous feeding of methionine is commonly used in E. coli recombinant protein production processes to prevent norleucine incorporation. Although this strategy is effective in preventing norleucine incorporation, there are several disadvantages associated with continuous feeding. Continuous feeding increases the operational complexity and the overall cost of the fermentation process. In addition, the continuous feed leads to undesirable dilution of the fermentation medium possibly resulting in lower cell densities and recombinant protein yields. In this work, the genomes of three E. coli hosts were engineered by introducing chromosomal mutations that result in methionine overproduction in the cell. The recombinant protein purified from the fermentations using the methionine overproducing hosts had no norleucine incorporation. Furthermore, these studies demonstrated that the fermentations using one of the methionine overproducing hosts exhibited comparable fermentation performance as the control host in three different recombinant protein production processes. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

玉米秸秆酸解副产物对重组酿酒酵母6508-127发酵的影响

将木质纤维素类生物质如玉米秸秆等用稀酸水解预处理,在半纤维素水解为单糖的同时,水解液中还会产生一些可能对后续发酵有影响的副产物。本实验分别考查了在玉米秸秆稀酸水解液中检测出的乙酸、甲酸、香草醛、糠醛和羟甲基糠醛对重组木糖发酵菌株S. cerevisiae 6508-127生长和发酵的影响。结果表明,甲酸和乙酸对菌体生长的抑制强于乙醇生成,且甲酸的抑制程度远大于乙酸;2g/L香草醛可使菌体生长延滞期明显延长,而在较低浓度（≤1.2g/L）此现象不明显。糠醛在0.5-1.5g/L范围内对菌体生长有抑制作用,但使乙醇得率提高;羟甲基糠醛在0.2g/L浓度存在就使乙醇得率有明显降低,但使生物量得率提高;研究中还发现,糠醛、羟甲基糠醛和香草醛可被S. cerevisiae 6508-127代谢。     

Extracellular 5-aminolevulinic acid production by Escherichia coli containing the Rhodopseudomonas palustris KUGB306 hemA gene

The Rhodopseudomonas palustris KUGB306 hemA gene codes for 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) synthase. This enzyme catalyzes the condensation of glycine and succinyl-CoA to yield ALA in the presence of the cofactor pyridoxal 5'- phosphate. The R. palustris KUGB306 hemA gene in the pGEX-KG vector system was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21. The effects of physiological factors on the extracellular production of ALA by the recombinant E. coli were studied. Terrific Broth (TB) medium resulted in significantly higher cell growth and ALA production than did Luria-Bertani (LB) medium. ALA production was significantly enhanced by the addition of succinate together with glycine in the medium. Maximal ALA production (2.5 g/l) was observed upon the addition of D-glucose as an ALA dehydratase inhibitor in the late-log culture phase. Based on the results obtained from the shake-flask cultures, fermentation was carried out using the recombinant E. coli in TB medium, with the initial addition of 90 mM glycine and 120 mM succinate, and the addition of 45 mM D-glucose in the late-log phase. The extracellular production of ALA was also influenced by the pH of the culture broth. We maintained a pH of 6.5 in the fermenter throughout the culture process, achieving the maximal levels of extracellular ALA production (5.15 g/l, 39.3 mM).     

分散泛菌蔗糖异构酶在大肠杆菌中的表达及发酵优化

为了提高分散泛菌Pantoea dispersa UQ68J来源的蔗糖异构酶产量,研究了不同信号肽及发酵条件对蔗糖异构酶在大肠杆菌中重组表达的影响。将携带天然信号肽的蔗糖异构酶基因优化后,转入大肠杆菌Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)构建重组表达菌株——ORI菌株,摇瓶发酵总酶活和胞外酶活分别为85 U/m L、65 U/m L。从天然信号肽开始第22位氨基酸作为成熟蛋白的起始,连接Pel B或Omp A信号肽构建P22和O22菌株,其中P22菌株发酵总酶活提高至138 U/m L,是ORI菌株总酶活的1.6倍;而O22菌株发酵总酶活和ORI菌株无明显差别。采用3.0 g/L的乳糖诱导,P22菌株的蔗糖异构酶总酶活提高至168 U/m L。在3 L发酵罐中,研究甘氨酸浓度和诱导时间对蔗糖异构酶分泌的影响,当补加0.5%甘氨酸,DCW为18 g/L(OD_(600)=30)开始诱导,P22菌株的蔗糖异构酶胞外酶活最高达1 981 U/m L,同时蔗糖异构酶总酶活达到2 640 U/m L,是已报道大肠杆菌重组表达蔗糖异构酶的最高水平。     

Continuous bioconversion of n-octane to octanoic acid by recombinant Escherichia coli (alk(+)) growing in a two-liquid-phase Chemostat

Escherichia coli is able to grow on sugars in the presence of a bulk n-alkane phase. When E. coli is equipped with the alk genes from Pseudomonas oleovorans, the resulting recombinant strain converts n-alkanes into the corresponding alkanoic acids. To study the effects of growth rate and exposure to a bulk apolar phase on the physiology and the productivity of E. coli, we have grown this microorganism in two-liquid-phase continuous cultures containing 5% (v/v) n-octane.In contrast to batch cultures of wild-tape E. coli grown in the presence of n-octane, cells remained viable during the entire continuous culture, which lasted 200 h. Bioconversion of n-octane to n-octanoic acid by a recombinant E. coli (alk(+)) in a two-liquid-phase continuous culture was made possible by optimizing both the recombinant host strain and the conditions of culturing the organism. Continuous production in such two-phase systems has been maintained for the least 125 h without any changes in the product concentration in the fermentation medium. The volumetric productivity was determined as a function of growth rate and showed a maximum at a dilution rate D = 0.32 h(-1), reaching a continuous production rate of 0.5 g octanoate/L . h (4 tons/m(3) . year).

Kinetics of inclusion body production in batch and high cell density fed-batch culture of Escherichia coli expressing ovine growth hormone.

A process for maximizing the volumetric productivity of recombinant ovine growth hormone (r-oGH) expressed in Escherichia coli during high cell density fermentation process has been devised. Kinetics of r-oGH expression as inclusion bodies and its effect on specific growth rates of E. coli cells were monitored during batch fermentation process. It was observed that during r-oGH expression in E. coli, the specific growth rate of the culture became an intrinsic property of the cells which reduced in a programmed manner upon induction. Nutrient feeding during protein expression phase of the fed-batch process was designed according to the reduction in specific growth rate of the culture. By feeding yeast extract along with glucose during fed-batch operation, high cell growth with very little accumulation of acetic acid was observed. Use of yeast extract helped in maintaining high specific cellular protein yield which resulted in high volumetric productivity of r-oGH. In 16 h of fed-batch fermentation, 3.2 g l-1 of r-oGH were produced at a cell OD of 124. This is the highest concentration of r-oGH reported to date using E. coli expression system. The volumetric productivity of r-oGH was 0.2 g l-1 h-1, which is also the highest value reported for any therapeutic protein using IPTG inducible expression system in a single stage fed-batch process.     

过表达carAB和pyrBI对大肠杆菌发酵胞苷的影响

为了考察氨甲酰磷酸合成酶和天冬氨酸氨甲酰转移酶对大肠杆菌发酵生产胞苷的影响,以E. coli A39 (△cdd)基因组为模板克隆carAB和pyrBI并与载体pSTV28连接构建出重组质粒pSTV28-carAB和pSTV28-pyrBI,将这两个重组质粒分别转入出发菌株A39 (△cdd)后,通过摇瓶发酵研究重组质粒对菌体的生长、胞苷和尿苷产量及副产物乙酸积累的影响。结果显示,工程菌E. coli A39-AB和A39-BI的胞苷产量分别为583.5 mg/L、408.4 mg/L,与出发菌株相比,分别提高了85.3%、29.7%。这说明过表达操纵子基因carAB和pyrBI均可促进胞苷的积累。     

Effect of glucose supplements on the fermentation of xylose by Pachysolen tannophilus

Hemicellulosic sugars, predominantly D-xylose, comprise about one-half the total carbohydrate that can be obtained from hardwoods and agricultural residues through dilute acid hydrolysis. Because rates and yields in the xylose fermentation are low, economic utilization of these materials as fermentation feedstocks is difficult. Pachysolen tannophilus formed 5.5% ethanol from 12% glucose but only 2% ethanol from 12% xylcose. Aeration doubled the specific rate of D-glucose fermentation by P. tannophilus, as compared to anaerobic fermentation, but the specific rate of the xylose fermentation remained unchanged. Periodic additions of 0.5% D-glucose to aerobic fermentations of 3% xylose increased the yield of ethanol from 0.28 g/g xylose to greater than 0.41 g/g xylose utilized. The rate of xylose utilization remained unchanged, and radiotracer studies showed that addition of 0.5% glucose did not inhibit xylose utilization under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. No enhancement was observed anaerobically, nor was enhancement observed with acid hydrolysates, apparently because of the presence of acetic acid which inhibited growth and fermentation.     

产琥珀酸重组大肠杆菌的发酵性能研究

研究了重组大肠杆菌JM001(△ppc)/pTrc99a-pck发酵产琥珀酸的性能,结果表明厌氧条件下其耗糖能力和产酸能力分别为对照菌株JM001的4.2倍和15.3倍。进一步优化发酵条件表明：采用接入菌泥的发酵方式比按照10%接种量转接厌氧发酵的效果要好,琥珀酸的对葡萄糖的质量收率提高了约10%,且副产物乙酸的量进一步降低。初始葡萄糖浓度高于60g/L时会对菌株的生长和产酸产生抑制,且浓度越高,抑制作用越明显。7L发酵罐放大实验中,整个厌氧发酵阶段葡萄糖的消耗速率为0.42g/(L.h),琥珀酸对葡萄糖的质量收率为67.75%,琥珀酸的生产强度为0.28g/(L.h)。     

Demonstration of the Crabtree effect in Phaffia rhodozyma during continuous and fed-batch cultivation

By monitoring cell yield and fermentation products during fed-batch and continuous growth, Pfaffia rhodozyma was shown to exhibit the Crabtree effect. In fed-batch culture at feed concentrations of 27 and 55 g glucose/l there was good agreement between the observed biomass formation and that predicted by a mass balance model. At 125 g glucose/l in the feed, biomass formation was less than predicted and fermentation products such as ethanol and acetic acid accumulated in the culture medium. In continuous culture with a feed concentration of 10 g glucose/l, the Crabtree effect became apparent at a dilution rate of 0.1 h -1 . Aerobic fermentation did not occur provided the sugar substrate was maintained at a concentration of less than 0.5 g/l. Although the cell yield coefficient was reduced from 0.5 g/g to 0.16 g/g during aerobic fermentation, the carotenoid content of the cells was unaffected.     

Enhancement of 5-aminolevulinate production with recombinant Escherichia coli using batch and fed-batch culture system

5-Aminolevulinate (ALA) production with recombinant Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3)/pET28a(+)-hemA was studied. In batch fermentation, the addition of glucose and glycine was effective to improve ALA production. Then the fed-batch fermentation was conducted with continuous feeding of precursors. When the concentrations of succinic acid and glycine were 7.0 g/l and 4.0 g/l, respectively, in the feeding, the ALA yield reached 4.1g/l. But the molar yield (ALA/glycine) was decreased in the fed-batch fermentation compared to batch fermentation. And it was found that the pH control during fed-batch cultivation was very important for the cell growth and ALA production. A two-stage pH value controlling strategy was suggested, in which, the pH value in the first 6h was regulated at pH 5.9, after then at pH 6.2, and the ALA yield was as high as 6.6g/l via fed-batch fermentation.

A balanced DO-stat and its application to the control of acetic acid excretion by recombinant Escherichia coli

During fed-batch cultivation of a recombinant Escherichia coli AT2471 harboring plasmid pSY130-14 for phenylalanine production, a large amount of acetic acid was excreted by the cells and accumulated in the culture medium. Acetic acid concentration reached 30-35 g/L at the end of a process conducted without special precautions for the reduction of this excretion. Cell growth stopped when acetic acid concentration was about 15 g/L, resulting in poor growth, 16 g/L cell concentration, and poor production - 8 g/L phenylalanine. A novel control strategy, called a balanced DO-stat. was developed to prevent acetic acid excretion. It represents a model-independent two-loop control structure, which is simple, reliable, and convenient for computer application. Using the balanced DO-stat, implemented in a computer control system, acetic acid concentration was kept at zero during the entire cultivation period. As a result, the cell concentration increased to 36 g/L and phenylalanine concentration reached 24 g/L. Aside from the phenylalanine fermentation, the proposed control approach might be applied to cultivation of other bacterial and yeast strains which have similar mechanism of the excretion of fermentative by-products.
