Erythritol Production by a Yeastlike Fungus   总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1       下载免费PDF全文
A yeastlike fungus, probably belonging to the genus Torula, was isolated from fresh pollen and was shown to produce erythritol in yields of 35 to 40% of the sugar utilized. The ability to produce erythritol is an inherent characteristic of the isolate, but unfavorable fermentation conditions can lead to the production of glycerol at the expense of erythritol. By the use of a synthetic medium, it was shown that the concentrations of both nitrogen and phosphorous in the medium must be closely controlled to obtain satisfactory erythritol yields.  相似文献

Production of 2-Ketogluconic Acid by Serratia marcescens   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4       下载免费PDF全文
Production of 2-ketogluconic acid from glucose by fermentation with Serratia marcescens NRRL B-486 was studied in 20-liter stainless-steel fermentors. Conditions for 2-ketogluconic acid production included the following: glucose-salt medium, aeration rate of 0.75 volumes per volume per minute, agitation rate of 400 rev/min, temperature of 30 C, CaCO3 to neutralize the acid formed, and a 5% (v/v) inoculum. Foaming was controlled with an antifoam agent added at intervals during the fermentation. When 120 g per liter of glucose were supplied, 95 to 100% yields of 2-ketogluconic acid were obtained in 16 hr. Larger amounts of glucose could be used in the fermentation provided that the carbohydrate was fed continuously. Continuous feeding of glucose to a total amount of 180 g per liter gave 95 to 100% yields of 2-ketogluconic acid in 24 hr; feeding glucose to a total amount of 240 g per liter gave 85 to 90% yields in 32 to 40 hr.  相似文献

The fermentation process for arabitol production from glycerol was developed using a Debaryomyces hansenii strain recently selected from a broad screening. The high-producing strain produced arabitol as the only detectable polyol from glycerol. In this work, the pH, dissolved oxygen concentration (DO), inoculum size and magnesium concentration, and the nitrogen-to-phosphorus (N/P) ratio were systematically evaluated for effects on cell growth rate and arabitol productivity. Among those evaluated, the medium with N/P = 9, DO of 5% air saturation and pH 3.5 supported the highest arabitol production. Under these optimal conditions, arabitol production of 40 g/L was achieved in 5 days compared to earlier studies with 15 g/L arabitol in 5 days. Volumetric productivity and specific productivity were successfully improved from 0.13 to 0.33 g/L-h and 0.007 to 0.02 g/g-h respectively with arabitol yield of 55% from glycerol.  相似文献

Arabitol is a low-calorie sugar alcohol with anti-cariogenic properties. Enzymatic hydrolysate of soybean flour is a new renewable biorefinery feedstock containing hexose, pentose, and organic nitrogen sources. Arabitol production by Debaryomyces hansenii using soybean flour hydrolysate was investigated. Effects of medium composition, operating conditions, and culture stage (growing or stationary phase) were studied. Production was also compared at different culture volumes to understand the effect of dissolved oxygen concentration (DO). Main factors examined for medium composition effects were the carbon to nitrogen concentration ratio (C/N), inorganic (ammonium) to organic nitrogen ratio (I/O-N), and sugar composition. Arabitol yield increased with increasing C/N ratio and a high I/O-N (0.8–1.0), suggesting higher yield at stationary phase of low pH (3.5–4.5). Catabolite repression was observed, with the following order of consumption: glucose > fructose > galactose > xylose > arabinose. Arabitol production also favored hexoses and, among hexoses, glucose. DO condition was of critical importance to arabitol production and cell metabolism. The yeast consumed pentoses (xylose and arabinose) only at more favorable DO conditions. Finally, arabitol was produced in fermentors using mixed hydrolysates of soy flour and hulls. The process gave an arabitol yield of 54%, volumetric productivity of 0.90 g/L-h, and specific productivity of 0.031 g/g-h.

Summary Immobilized cells of Aspergillus niger needed a lower initial sucrose concentration than free cells in order to obtain maximal yields of citric acid production. High sucrose concentrations led to reduced yields and increased polyol formation (glycerol, erythritol, arabitol). Continuous fermentation with media containing low sugar concentrations prevented the formation of polyols. The change from nitrogen-limited to phosphate-limited precultivation of immobilized spores significantly increased the productivity of the mycelium. The ratio of citric acid to residual sugar in the effluent distinctly lay in the direction of citric acid. Inside the alginate beads mainly large bulbous cells were observed.  相似文献

Sugar alcohols have been widely applied in the field of food and medicine for their unique properties. Compared to chemical production, microbial production of sugar alcohol has become attractive for its environmental and sustainable pattern. In this study, a potential yeast isolated from soil of Beijing suburbs was identified as Pichia anomala TIB-x229, and its key enzyme of d-arabitol dehydrogenase for microbial production of sugar alcohols was functionally characterized. This yeast could simultaneously produce d-arabitol, xylitol, and/or ribitol from a different ratio of sugar substrates at a high efficiency by bioconversion, and no glucose repression happened when mixed sugars of xylose and glucose were used as the substrates during the bioconversion. This yeast could also efficiently convert complicated feedstock such as xylose mother liquor to d-arabitol, xylitol, and ribitol with 55 % yields. To elucidate the conversion relationship of the sugar alcohols, especially d-arabitol and xylitol, the key d-arabitol dehydrogenase gene from P. anomala was cloned, expressed and purified for further in vitro characterization. The results showed that this d-arabitol dehydrogenase could catalyze arabitol to xylulose further, which is significant for xylitol production from glucose. Our study laid the foundation for improving the production of sugar alcohols by metabolic and fermentation engineering strategies.  相似文献

A batch fermentation strategy using Xanthomonas campestris ATCC 13951 for xanthan gum production has been established in which all essential medium components are supplied at the onset. This has been achieved using sucrose as sole sugar feedstock. Sequential consumption of nitrogen sources (soybean hydrolysates, ammonium and nitrate salts) was observed to facilitate the further optimisation of the medium. Biomass accumulation was limited by phosphate availability. Xanthan yields of more than 60% (grams of xanthan per gram of sugar) have been obtained with constant acetyl content. However, pyruvyl substitution decreased as the growth rate declined, due to the metabolic constraints specific to phosphate depletion. High rates of carbon conversion into xanthan were observed throughout the culture and the ATP/ADP ratio was not affected by the decline in the specific growth rate.  相似文献

Two cherry tomato plant cultivars (Lycopersicon esculentum Miller, cultivars ‘Koko’ and ‘Pepe’) were supplied with high (395 ppm), medium (266 ppm) and low (199 ppm) concentrations of nitrogen to determine the influence of nitrogen fertilization on development, cultivar preference and honeydew production by greenhouse whiteflies, Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). The nitrogen, protein, and chlorophyll contents of tomato leaves were higher in the high nitrogen supplied plants than in the medium or low nitrogen supplied plants, but the sugar content showed an inverse relationship. The developmental times of eggs and nymphs decreased as the nitrogen concentrations increased in both cultivars. The preference of T. vaporariorum was compared by counting the number of eggs deposited on leaves in choice and non-choice tests. In the non-choice test, no significant nitrogen treatment effects were observed but the upper plant stratum was preferred for egg laying. In the choice test, there were significant main effects of cultivar and nitrogen concentration. T. vaporariorum laid eggs more on leaves of plants with higher nitrogen at the upper stratum. In both experiments, T. vaporariorum preferred the ‘Koko’ cultivar to the ‘Pepe’ cultivar. The honeydew production of T. vaporariorum nymphs increased with decreasing nitrogen treatment concentrations. The largest honeydew production was detected in the ‘Pepe’ cultivar grown at low nitrogen concentration. It is concluded that cultivar ‘Pepe’ had an advantage over ‘Koko’ in term of T. vaporariorum management program in tomato greenhouses.  相似文献

Fermentative production of spiramycins by Streptomyces ambofaciens has been performed using fermentation media of different chemical compositions. Medium I was selected from nine media as the best for production of high titres of spiramycins. Biochemical changes which occurred during fermentative production of spiramycins revealed that adjustment of the initial pH value of the medium was very important. The initial pH value of the fermentation medium which allowed the organism to produce a good yield of antibiotic was 6.5. The fermentation period affected the formation of spiramycins, and the maximum incubation period required for the fermentation process was 120 h. The role of inoculum on spiramycin yield showed that it was better to inoculate the fermentation medium with vegetative cells of Streptomyces ambofaciens rather with spores. The carbon source influenced spiramycin biosynthesis: dextrin was the best carbon source and stimulated the organism to form high titres of antibiotics. The best concentrations of dextrin and glucose for increased antibiotic yields were 25 and 15 gl?1, respectively. Organic sources in the fermentation medium were more efficient than inorganic nitrogen sources for spiramycin formation. Fodder yeast was the best organic nitrogen source in fermentative production of spiramycins. The maximal concentrations of fodder yeast, soybean meal, peptone, Ca(NO3)2 and NH4NO3 for increased antibiotic yield were 6.5, 6.0, 4.0, 10.0 and 4.0 gl?1, respectively.  相似文献

For this study, 2,3-butanediol (BD) fermentation from pure and biomass-derived sugar were optimized in shake-flask and 5-L bioreactor levels using Klebsiella oxytoca ATCC 8724. The results showed that 70 g/L of single sugar (glucose or xylose) and 90 g/L of mixed-sugar (glucose:xylose = 2:1) were optimum concentrations for efficient 2,3-BD fermentation. At optimum sugar concentrations, 2,3-BD productivities were 1.03, 0.64 and 0.50 gL−1 h−1, and yields were 0.43, 0.36 and 0.35 g/g in glucose, xylose and mixed-sugar medium, respectively. The lack of simultaneous utilization of glucose and xylose led to the lowest productivity in the mixed-sugar medium. Detoxification of biomass hydrolyzates was necessary for efficient 2,3-BD fermentation when sugar concentrations in the medium was 90 g/L or higher, but not with sugar concentrations of 30 g/L or less. A fed-batch fermentation using glucose medium led to an increase 2,3-BD titer to 79.4 g/L and yields 0.47 g/g, while productivity decreased to 0.79 gL−1 h−1. However, the fed-batch process was inefficient using mixed-sugar and biomass hydrolyzates because of poor xylose utilization. These results indicated that appropriate biomass processing technologies must be developed to generate separate glucose and xylose streams to produce high 2,3-BD titer from biomass-derived sugar using a fed-batch process.  相似文献

The formation of acetone and n-butanol by Clostridium acetobutylicum NCIB 8052 (ATCC 824) was monitored in batch culture at 35°C in a glucose (2% [wt/vol]) minimal medium maintained throughout at either pH 5.0 or 7.0. At pH 5, good solvent production was obtained in the unsupplemented medium, although addition of acetate plus butyrate (10 mM each) caused solvent production to be initiated at a lower biomass concentration. At pH 7, although a purely acidogenic fermentation was maintained in the unsupplemented medium, low concentrations of acetone and n-butanol were produced when the glucose content of the medium was increased (to 4% [wt/vol]). Substantial solvent concentrations were, however, obtained at pH 7 in the 2% glucose medium supplemented with high concentrations of acetate plus butyrate (100 mM each, supplied as their potassium salts). Thus, C. acetobutylicum NCIB 8052, like C. beijerinckii VPI 13436, is able to produce solvents at neutral pH, although good yields are obtained only when adequately high concentrations of acetate and butyrate are supplied. Supplementation of the glucose minimal medium with propionate (20 mM) at pH 5 led to the production of some n-propanol as well as acetone and n-butanol; the final culture medium was virtually acid free. At pH 7, supplementation with propionate (150 mM) again led to the formation of n-propanol but also provoked production of some acetone and n-butanol, although in considerably smaller amounts than were obtained when the same basal medium had been fortified with acetate and butyrate at pH 7.  相似文献

Batch cultures of Geotrichum candidum and Penicillium camembertii were carried out on peptones as carbon and nitrogen source and in the presence of lactate as a second carbon source. Unless growth ceased, carbon and nitrogen yields remained constants, except yields involving lactate consumption by G. candidum, since this fungus preferentially metabolized peptones as a carbon source. For both fungi, nearly 40% of the available carbon was metabolized for cellular biosynthesis and the remainder (about 60%) as carbon dioxide, for the energy supply of both biosynthesis and viable cell maintenance. Moreover, in relation to their carbon content, amino acids contain excess nitrogen, which was released as ammonium. From all these, the yields of ammonium nitrogen on cellular nitrogen were in all cases higher than 1, and were especially high when the medium contained only peptones as a carbon source, 4.4 and 5.7 for G. candidum and P. camembertii respectively. Indeed, in this case, the excess nitrogen was especially pronounced.  相似文献

The significance of metal ion supplementation in the fermentation medium on the structure and anti-tumor activity of Tuber polysaccharides was systematically studied in the submerged fermentation of Tuber melanosporum. The lowest weight-average molecular weight (Mw) (i.e., 115.3 × 104 g/mol) of intracellular polysaccharides (IPS) was obtained when Mg2+ and K+ was added in the fermentation medium. The IPS with the lower Mw exhibited a higher inhibition ratio against S-180 tumor cells. The compact conformation of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) was formed when only K+ was supplied in the fermentation medium. Interestingly, EPS with compact conformation exhibited a higher inhibition ratio (i.e., 59.2%) than EPS with branched polymer chain (i.e., 9.2%) against A549 tumor cells. The highest inhibition ratio for EPS with α-glycosidic linkages against the tumor cell line HepG2 reached 32.2% when Mg2+ or K+ was supplied in the fermentation medium. The addition of metal ion Mg2+, K+, and their combination to the fermentation medium is a vital factor affecting the structures of Tuber polysaccharides, which further determine their anti-tumor activities. The information obtained in this work will be useful for the efficient and directed production of polysaccharides with anti-tumor activities by the submerged fermentation of edible fungi mycelium.  相似文献

An endophytic yeast, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa strain PTD3, that was isolated from stems of hybrid poplar was found to be capable of production of xylitol from xylose, of ethanol from glucose, galactose, and mannose, and of arabitol from arabinose. The utilization of 30 g/L of each of the five sugars during fermentation by PTD3 was studied in liquid batch cultures. Glucose-acclimated PTD3 produced enhanced yields of xylitol (67% of theoretical yield) from xylose and of ethanol (84, 86, and 94% of theoretical yield, respectively) from glucose, galactose, and mannose. Additionally, this yeast was capable of metabolizing high concentrations of mixed sugars (150 g/L), with high yields of xylitol (61% of theoretical yield) and ethanol (83% of theoretical yield). A 1:1 glucose:xylose ratio with 30 g/L of each during double sugar fermentation did not affect PTD3's ability to produce high yields of xylitol (65% of theoretical yield) and ethanol (92% of theoretical yield). Surprisingly, the highest yields of xylitol (76% of theoretical yield) and ethanol (100% of theoretical yield) were observed during fermentation of sugars present in the lignocellulosic hydrolysate obtained after steam pretreatment of a mixture of hybrid poplar and Douglas fir. PTD3 demonstrated an exceptional ability to ferment the hydrolysate, overcome hexose repression of xylose utilization with a short lag period of 10 h, and tolerate sugar degradation products. In direct comparison, PTD3 had higher xylitol yields from the mixed sugar hydrolysate compared with the widely studied and used xylitol producer Candida guilliermondii.  相似文献

A laboratory process was established for ethanol production by fermentation of sugar beet molasses with the bacterium Zymomonas mobilis. Sucrose in the molasses was hydrolyzed enzymatically to prevent levan formation. A continuous system was adopted to reduce sorbitol formation and a two-stage fermentor was used to enhance sugar conversion and the final ethanol concentration. This two-stage fermentor operated stably for as long as 18 d. An ethanol concentration of 59.9 g/l was obtained at 97% sugar conversion and at high ethanol yield (0.48 g/g, 94% of theoretical). The volumetric ethanol productivity (3.0 g/l·h) was superior to that of batch fermentation but inferior to that of a single-stage continuous system with the same medium. However, the thanol concentration was increased to a level acceptable for economical recovery. The process proposed in this paper is the first report of successful fermentation of sugar beet molasses in the continuous mode using the bacterium Z. mobilis.  相似文献

Sugarcane-pressmud, a by-product of cane-sugar manufacture, was used as a substrate for production of citric acid by Aspergillus niger CFTRI 30, in a solid-state fermentation system. Of the 170 g of sugar supplied, 131 g were consumed, with a 79% yield of citric acid over 120 h. Potassium ferrocyanide improved the conversion to about 88% and lowered the fermentation time by 24 h. Enrichment with sugar and NH4NO3 was essential to improve productivity. About 174 g citric acid/kg dry sugarcane-pressmud were produced after 120 h in ferrocyanid-treated medium which initially contained 12.5% (w/w) effective sugar and 0.1% (w/w) NH4NO3. About 3% (w/w) of the original sugar present in the sugarcane-pressmud was non-utilizable. This is the first report on the potential of sugarcane-pressmud for citric acid production.V.S.

Efficient xylose utilisation by microorganisms is of importance to the lignocellulose fermentation industry. The aim of this work was to develop constitutive catabolite repression mutants in a xylose-utilising recombinantSaccharomyces cerevisiae strain and evaluate the differences in xylose consumption under fermentation conditions.S. cerevisiae YUSM was constitutively catabolite repressed through specific disruptions within theMIG1 gene. The strains were grown aerobically in synthetic complete medium with xylose as the sole carbon source. Constitutive catabolite repressed strain YCR17 grew four-fold better on xylose in aerobic conditions than the control strain YUSM. Anaerobic batch fermentation in minimal medium with glucose-xylose mixtures and N-limited chemostats with varying sugar concentrations were performed. Sugar utilisation and metabolite production during fermentation were monitored. YCR17 exhibited a faster xylose consumption rate than YUSM under high glucose conditions in nitrogen-limited chemostat cultivations. This study shows that a constitutive catabolite repressed mutant could be used to enhance the xylose consumption rate even in the presence of high glucose in the fermentation medium. This could help in reducing fermentation time and cost in mixed sugar fermentation.  相似文献

A mathematical model describing the kinetics of the sequential production of lactic acid and xylitol from detoxified-concentrated vine trimming hemicellulosic hydrolysates by Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Debaryomyces hansenii, respectively, was developed from the basic principles of mass balance in two stages considering as main reactions: (1) glucose and xylose consumption by L. rhamnosus; and (2) xylitol and arabitol production by D. hansenii. The model allows to evaluate the yields and productivities under microaerobic and oxygen restricted conditions (in particular the effects caused by purging the oxygen with nitrogen), which were particularly important during the xylose to xylitol bioconversion by yeasts. The model was tested using experimental data obtained from detoxified-concentrated hemicellulosic hydrolysates, after CaCO3 addition in both types of fermentation processes, without purges (microaerobic conditions) or purging oxygen with nitrogen (oxygen-limited conditions) after sampling in order to reduce the oxygen dissolved. L. rhamnosus was removed by microfiltration before adding D. hansenii at the beginning of the second stage. Mass balance-based and logistic functions were successfully applied to develop the model of the system which properly predicts the consumption of sugars as well as the metabolites produced and yields. The dynamics of fermentation were also adequately described by the developed model.  相似文献

The production of a new cereal-based probiotic foods with suitable aroma, flavor and pH using mixed culture fermentation has been investigated. This required the selection of suitable types of cereal grains and probiotic microorganisms. In a medium of 5% (w/v) malt suspension the effects of yeast presence on the fermentation of a lactic acid bacterium (LAB), Lactobacillus reuteri, was studied. With different inoculum ratios between the yeast and the LAB, the characteristics of the fermentation broth including pH and the contents of free amino nitrogen (FAN), reducing sugar, lactic acid and ethanol were investigated. It was found that LAB growth was enhanced by the introduction of the yeast. In mixed culture broth pH was lowered and the production of lactic acid and ethanol were increased in comparison against pure LAB culture.  相似文献
