阴离子交换晶胶层析分离质粒DNA

质粒DNA(pDNA)作为重要的基因治疗药物载体,其广泛应用受纯度和产量的限制。为了获得高纯度的pDNA,首先制备超大孔连续床晶胶基质,接枝二乙氨基乙基葡聚糖得到阴离子交换型晶胶介质;然后以pUC19质粒为例,将目标质粒转化至大肠杆菌,培养收集,碱液裂解和离心;最后用阴离子交换型晶胶介质从离心上清液中一步法层析分离pDNA。通过优化层析过程的pH值和洗脱条件,最终在pH值为6.6时,用0.5 mol/L的NaCl溶液洗脱,得到较高纯度的pDNA。整个分离过程中不使用动物源性酶,也不需常规分离中的高毒试剂,使获得pDNA的过程和产物更加安全。     

Affinity binding of inclusion bodies on supermacroporous monolithic cryogels using labeling with specific antibodies

A new chromatographic method based on affinity supermacroporous monolithic cryogels is developed for binding and analyzing inclusion bodies during fermentation. The work demonstrated that it is possible to bind specific IgG and IgY antibodies to the 15 and 17 amino acids at the terminus ends of a 33 kDa target protein aggregated as inclusion bodies. The antibody treated inclusion bodies from lysed fermentation broth can be specifically retained in protein A and pseudo-biospecific ligand sulfamethazine modified supermacroporous cryogels. The degree of binding of IgG and IgY treated inclusion bodies to the Protein A and sulfamethazine gels are investigated, as well as the influence of pH on the sulfamethazine ligand. Optimum binding of 78 and 72% was observed on both protein A and sulfamethazine modified cryogel columns, respectively, using IgG labeling of the inclusion bodies. The antibody treated inclusion bodies pass through unretained in the sulfamethazine supermacroporous gel at pH that does not favour the binding between the ligand on the gel and the antibodies on the surface of inclusion bodies. Also the unlabeled inclusion bodies went through the gel unretained, showing no non-specific binding or trapping within the gel. These findings may very well be the foundation for the building of a powerful analytical tool during fermentation of inclusion bodies as well as a convenient way to purify them from fermentation broth. These results also support our earlier findings [Kumar, A., Plieva, F.M., Galaev, I.Yu., Mattiasson, B., 2003. Affinity fractionation of lymphocytes using a monolithic cyogel. J. Immunol. Methods 283, 185-194] with mammalian cells that were surface labeled with specific antibodies and recognized on protein A supermacroporous gels. A general binding and separation system can be established on antibody binding cryogel affinity matrices.     

Gas chromatography and gateway sensors for on-line state estimation of complex fermentations (butanol-acetone fermentation)

A fermentation system has been designed to demonstrate the use of gas chromatography (GC) for on-line monitoring of the butanol-acetone and other complex saccharolytic fermentations. Tangential flow ultrafiltration was used to sterilely and continuously obtain a cell-free filtrate from the fermentation broth for on-line GC analysis of butanol, butyrate, acetate, acetone, ethanol, and acetoin. The liquid injection system consists of a phosphoric acid contactor, a slider-type injection valve, and a heater to address the difficulties (ghosting) encountered in the analysis of carboxylic acids. The fermentation headspace gas was also analyzed by on-line GC for nitrogen and carbon dioxide, while hydrogen was measured by difference. Raw chromatographic data were analyzed by a chromatography data system. Both raw and processed data were transmitted to a VAX 11/750 computer for further processing (using the fermentation equation) and archiving. The fermentation equation, which has recently been derived and tested on completed fermentation data, was also found to be valid during transient fermentations and thus useful as a gateway sensor for calculating various fermentation parameters on-line. Such parameters include glucose concentration and gas composition, as well as a number of unobservable parameters (such as Y(ATP), excess ATP, and NAD reduced by FdH(2)), which characterize the state of the fermentation.     

Boronate affinity chromatography of cells and biomacromolecules using cryogel matrices

Boronate affinity chromatography involves the interaction between cis-diol containing molecules and the hydroxyl group of boronate. Boronate affinity based cryogel chromatography matrices have been developed and the ligands were immobilized by two methods i.e., grafting of the boronate ligand on to the matrix and by copolymerization of monomer containing boronate with other co-monomer. The boronate grafted cryogel column was used to capture adherent and non-adherent cells and the captured cells were recovered at different fructose concentrations as an eluting agent, in chromatography mode. It was found that the adherent cells could be recovered at relatively higher fructose concentration (0.5 M) than non-adherent cells which could be recovered by using low fructose concentration (0.1 M). This might be due to the difference in the content of glycoprotein in adherent and non-adherent cells. In this way a new separation method can be devised for the fractionation of adherent and non-adherent cells. In another study, a copolymerized boronate cryogel column was developed for the separation of RNA from the bacterial crude extract without any pre-processing. RNA molecules were specifically retained in the cryogel column due to interaction between 2,3′ diol group of ribose sugar in RNA and the hydroxyl group of boronate. The DNA molecules were passed through the column uninteracted due to absence of 2′-hydroxyl group. Later, bound RNA molecules were recovered from the boronate affinity cryogel column.

Recovery of potassium clavulanate from fermentation broth by ion exchange chromatography and desalting electrodialysis

Ion exchange chromatography (IEC) and desalting electrodialysis (DSED) processes were developed for the recovery and purification of potassium clavulanate (KCA) from fermentation broth. A strong anion exchanger, Amberlite IRA 400 resin, a potassium acetate solution as equilibrium buffer, and a potassium chloride (KCl) solution as elution buffer were used for the recovery of KCA in IEC. In order to determine optimal operating conditions, the effects of various operating parameters such as equilibrium buffer pH and concentration, elution buffer concentration, gradient length, and volumetric flow rate on KCA recovery and by-product removal were investigated using a simulated fermentation broth. In the subsequent step of DSED, employing cation (Neocepta CMS, Tokuyama, Japan) and anion (Neocepta ACS, Tokuyama, Japan) exchange membranes were carried out to remove KCl that existed in a large amount in the ion exchanged solution. The effects of operation voltage and feed composition on the performance of DSED were investigated. Based on the operating conditions determined above, IEC and DSED were applied in sequence to an ultrafiltered fermentation broth. Almost complete removal of KCl was possible with no significant loss of KCA, although the KCA recovery was slightly lower than that with the simulated fermentation broth. Based on this observation, it was concluded that IEC and DESD could be an effective process combination for the recovery of KCA from fermentation broth.     

Simultaneous quantification of phytohormones in fermentation extracts of Botryodiplodia theobromae by liquid chromatography–electrospray tandem mass spectrometry

Fermentation broth and biomass from three strains of Botryodiplodia theobromae were characterized by high performance liquid chromatography–electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–ESI–MS/MS) method, in order to quantify different phytohormones and to identify amino acid conjugates of jasmonic acid (JA) present in fermentation broths. A liquid–liquid extraction with ethyl acetate was used as sample preparation. The separation was carried out on a C18 reversed-phase HPLC column followed by analysis via ESI–MS/MS. The multiple reaction monitoring mode was used for quantitative measurement. For the first time, indole-3-acetic acid, indole-3-propionic acid, indole-3-butyric acid and JA were identified and quantified in the ethyl acetate extracts from the biomass, after the separation of mycelium from supernatant. The fermentation broths showed significantly higher levels of JA in relation to the other phytohormones. This is the first report of the presence of gibberellic acid, abscisic acid, salicylic acid and the cytokinins zeatin, and zeatin riboside in fermentation broths of Botryodiplodia sp. The presence of JA-serine and JA-threonine conjugates in fermentation broth was confirmed using HPLC-ESI tandem mass spectrometry in negative ionization mode, while the occurrence of JA-glycine and JA-isoleucine conjugates was evidenced with the same technique but with positive ionization. The results demonstrated that the used HPLC–ESI–MS/MS method was effective for analysing phytohormones in fermentation samples.     

Critical evaluation of sampling techniques for residual glucose determination in carbon-limited chemostat culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

In this paper, three sampling techniques for rapid quenching of cellular metabolism and subsequent separation of cells from fermentation broth are compared: (i) quick freezing of fermentation broth directly in liquid nitrogen; (ii) quenching metabolism by exposing the fermentation broth to stainless steel beads (4-mm diameter) in a filter syringe precooled to -18 degrees C; and (iii) withdrawal of the filtrate through a 0.45 microm filter attached to a syringe and a needle inserted directly into the fermentor. It was concluded that use of liquid nitrogen as a quenching method to rapidly arrest cellular metabolism, for quantitative analysis of extracellular glucose, is not a very reliable method and that the filter syringe steel beads work very well.     

Recovery of purified lactonic sophorolipids by spontaneous crystallization during the fermentation of sugarcane molasses with Candida albicans O-13-1

Numerous studies have focused on how to obtain high yield of sophorolipids using low-cost materials as substrates, and there has been various work on the experimental methods for purifying lactonic sophorolipids. These studies have not yet obtained satisfied results in combining a low-cost fermentation process and the purification of lactonic sophorolipids. This study establishes a fed-batch fermentation process of purifying sophorolipids from Candida albicans O-13-1 using low-cost sugarcane molasses as the substrate. In the optimized conditions of this research, using sugarcane molasses as a substrate and product synthesis based on the temperature stage-controlled fermentation, our result indicates that sophorolipids production could reach 108.7 g/L. More importantly, lactonic sophorolipids can crystallize and precipitate during our established fermentation process. The structures and content of sophorolipids separated from the fermentation broth and sophorolipids crystallized in the fermentation broth were analyzed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS). The fermentation process produced 90.5 g/L crystallized lactonic sophorolipids with 90.51% purity. This is an energy-saving and low-cost method to obtain such pure lactonic sophorolipids.     

Separation characteristics of liquid nematode cultures and the design of recovery operations

Production of nematode-based pesticides involves the recovery of a viable nematode life stage known as the infective juvenile (IJ) from fermentation broth. Waste components to be separated from the IJs include non-IJ life stages, dead nematodes, nematode debris, spent media, and the nematode's associated bacteria. This paper reports separation characteristics of liquid cultures and suspensions of the nematodes Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita, Steinernema feltiae, and Heterorhabditis megidis measured at small scale. Separation characteristics were determined for dead-end filtration, gravity settling and flotation. Results were used to identify large-scale recovery procedures. Separation of culture liquid by dead-end filtration of the crude fermentation broth was not possible due to rapid blinding of filters. However, nematode-water suspensions prepared by gravity settling could be concentrated using this separation method. Settling tests indicated that IJs could be efficiently separated from culture liquid by centrifugation but not by gravity settling. Examination of the effects of nematode concentration indicated an optimum concentration for gravity settling that may entail modest dilution of the fermentation broth. Flocculation of insoluble spent media in suspensions of P. hermaphrodita prevented its separation from nematodes by gravity settling. However, attachment of air bubbles to spent media allowed removal by flotation. Finally, adjustment of continuous phase density using sucrose allowed separation of non-IJ life stages, dead nematodes, and discarded cuticles from the IJs by flotation. The efficiency of this separation decreased with increasing nematode-solute contact time.     

Process intensification by direct product sequestration from batch fermentations: Application of a fluidised bed,multi‐bed external loop contactor

A critical comparison has been made of the relative efficacy of the primary purification of an extracellular acid protease produced by the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. The performance of conventional, discrete sequences of fermentation, broth clarification and fixed bed, anion exchange chromatography has been compared with fluidised bed adsorption directly interfaced with post‐term fermentation broth and fluidised bed adsorption directly integrated with productive fermentations (so‐called direct product sequestration; DPS). Advantages of the latter, in terms of the improved yield and molecular quality of the protease end product are discussed in terms of the design, assembly and operation of component parts of DPS devices and their generic application to other extracellular bioproducts of microbial fermentations. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Simple one-step purification of nisin Z from unclarified culture broth of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis A164 using expanded bed ion exchange chromatography

A simple one-step purification method, using expanded bed, ion-exchange chromatography, for the fractionation of nisin Z produced by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis A164 was developed. The highest dynamic binding capacity (0.92) of the adsorbent was obtained at a superficial velocity of 367 cm h(-1), resulting in approx. 2.7-fold bed expansion. The range of pH for the maximum adsorption was 3-4. The isocratic elution with 0.15 M NaCl led to approx. >90% recovery. Single-step purification of nisin Z from unclarified A164 culture broth resulted in 31-fold purification with a 90% yield.

Present state and perspective of downstream processing of biologically produced 1,3-propanediol and 2,3-butanediol

1,3-Propanediol and 2,3-butanediol are two promising chemicals which have a wide range of applications and can be biologically produced. The separation of these diols from fermentation broth makes more than 50% of the total costs in their microbial production. This review summarizes the present state of methods studied for the recovery and purification of biologically produced diols, with particular emphasis on 1,3-propoanediol. Previous studies on the separation of 1,3-propanediol primarily include evaporation, distillation, membrane filtration, pervaporation, ion exchange chromatography, liquid–liquid extraction, and reactive extraction. Main methods for the recovery of 2,3-butanediol include steam stripping, pervaporation, and solvent extraction. No single method has proved to be simple and efficient, and improvements are especially needed with regard to yield, purity, and energy consumption. Perspectives for an improved downstream processing of biologically produced diols, especially 1,3-propanediol are discussed based on our own experience and recent work. It is argued that separation technologies such as aqueous two-phase extraction with short chain alcohols, pervaporation, reverse osmosis, and in situ extractive or pervaporative fermentations deserve more attention in the future.

Separation of egg yolk immunoglobulins using an automated liquid chromatography system

An automated liquid chromatography system was developed to carry out the separation of an egg yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) using cation exchange media. Industrially separated egg yolk was diluted 10 times with distilled water, the pH adjusted to 5.5, and the water-soluble protein fraction separated from lipoproteins by sedimentation. The supernatant was filtered and then applied to a column packed with a cation exchanger within an automated liquid chromatography system. Different operating conditions were investigated using phosphate buffer in order to assess the effect on recovery and purity. Fractions as pure as 80% could be collected and a recovery of the chromatography step of about 65% was obtained for a purity of 60% using either a linear or step gradient. The overall recovery for the process was 34% if one-step dilution/extraction is used for lipoprotein separation by sedimentation, and 51% if two-step dillution/extraction is used. Further improvement of the yield to about 60% is possible using centrifugation for lipoprotein separation. The automated system confers many advantages, the key elements being the time savings and accurate control of the process. (c) 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Separation of nattokinase fromBacillus subtilis fermentation broth by expanded bed adsorption with mixed-mode adsorbent

Mixed-mode hydrophobic/ionic matrices exhibit a salt-tolerant property for adsorbing target protein from high-ionic strength feedstock, which allows the application of undiluted feedstockvia an expanded bed process. In the present work, a new type of mixed-mode adsorbent designed for expanded bed adsorption, Fastline PRO^®, was challenged for the capture of nattokinase from the high ionic fermentation broth ofBacillus subtilis. Two important factors, pH and ion concentration, were investigated with regard to the performance of nattokinase adsorption. Under initial fermentation broth conditions (pH 6.6 and conductivity of 10 mS/cm) the adsorption capacity of nattokinase with Fastline PRO was high, with a maximum capacity of 5,350 U/mL adsorbent. The elution behaviors were investigated using packed bed adsorption experiments, which demonstrated that the effective desorption of nattokinase could be achieved by effecting a pH of 9.5. The biomass pulse response experiments were carried out in order to evaluate the biomass/adsorbent interactions betweenBacillus subtilis cells and Fastline PRO, and to demonstrate a stable expanded bed in the feedstock containingBacillus subtilis cells. Finally, an EBA process, utilizing mixed-mode Fastline PRO adsorbent, was optimized to capture nattokinase directly from the fermentation broth. The purification factor reached 12.3, thereby demonstrating the advantages of the mixed-mode EBA in enzyme separation.     

Purification and characterization of human hemoglobin: effect of the hemolysis conditions

Human hemoglobin was isolated and purified by anion exchange chromatography. To isolate hemoglobin, outdated red blood cells (RBC) were transformed into carbonylhemoglobin, by reaction with carbon monoxide, and submitted to washing/centrifugation procedures, to eliminate other plasma proteins. Albumin was quantified in each supernatant, by the bromcresol green method. Hemolysis was performed in three different hypotonic media (water, 0.01 M NaCl and 5 mM Tris/HCl buffer at pH 7.4), at 8 degrees C for 24 h. Sonication for 5 min was also used to lyse RBC. After isolation of hemoglobin, additional purification was carried out by anion exchange chromatography on AG MP-1, Q-SFF and both exchangers. Hemoglobin concentration of hemolysates and of purified solutions were determined by the hemiglobincyanide method. Residual phospholipids were extracted from the four different hemolysates, as well as from the purified hemoglobin solutions, and were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. Native and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis experiments were performed on purified hemoglobin samples to verify the presence of proteins other than hemoglobin. According to the results, the hemolysis conditions have influence on the purification of hemoglobin.
