A novel Ganoderma lucidum G0119 fermentation strategy for enhanced triterpenes production by statistical process optimization and addition of oleic acid

A novel enhanced triterpenes fermentation production process by Ganoderma lucidum G0119 with the addition of oleic acid in the medium has been developed and optimized. All of the six exogenous additives tested were found to exhibit stimulatory effect on mycelial growth and triterpenes biosynthesis by G. lucidum. The results show that oleic acid addition had significant role in promoting triterpenes production. The optimal concentration and time of oleic acid addition were determined to be 30 mL/L and 0 h, respectively. Furthermore, three significant factors influencing triterpenes production were identified as glucose, magnesium sulfate and temperature using the Plackett–Burman design. The optimized conditions by central composite design were 27.83 g/L glucose, 1.32 g/L magnesium sulfate, 26.2°C temperature. The triterpenes fermentation yield with the optimized medium based on actual confirmatory experimental data in 6 L fermentor was 1.076 g/L versus the statistical model predicted value of 1.080 g/L. Our innovatively developed triterpenes fermentation production technology and process has been proven to produce high triterpenes productivity and yield conceivably useful for industrial production.

Modeling alcoholic fermentation of glucose/xylose mixtures by ethanologenic Escherichia coli as a function of pH

In order to understand the effect of pH on growth and ethanol production in ethanologenic Escherichia coli, we investigated the kinetic behavior of ethanologenic E. coli during alcoholic fermentation of glucose or xylose in a controlled pH environment and the fermentation of glucose, xylose, or their mixtures without pH control. Based on the Monod equation, an unstructured and unsegregated kinetic model was proposed as a function of the pH of the fermentation medium. The pH effects on cell growth, sugar consumption, and ethanol production were taken into account in the proposed model. Both cell growth and ethanol production were found to be significantly influenced by the pH of the fermentation medium. The optimal pH range for ethanol production by ethanologenic E. coli on either glucose or xylose was 6.0–6.5. The highest value of the maximum specific growth rate (μ _m) was obtained at pH 7.0. In the kinetic model of the fermentations of the sugar mixture, two inhibition terms related to glucose concentrations were included in both the cell growth and ethanol production equations because of the strong inhibitions of glucose and glucose metabolites on xylose metabolism. A good fit was found between model predictions and experimental data for both single-sugar and mixed-sugar fermentations without pH control within the experimental domain.     

Performance analyses of a pH-shift and DOT-shift integrated fed-batch fermentation process for the production of ganoderic acid and Ganoderma polysaccharides by medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidum

Investigations on Ganoderma lucidum fermentation suggested that the responses of the cell growth and metabolites biosynthesis to pH and dissolved oxygen tension (DOT) were different. The ganoderic acid (GA) production of 321.6 mg/L was obtained in the pH-shift culture by combining a 4-day culture at pH 3.0 with the following 6-day culture at pH 4.5, which was higher by 45% and 300% compared with the culture at pH 3.0 and 4.5, respectively. The GA production of 487.1 mg/L was achieved in the DOT-shift culture by combining a 6-day culture at 25% of DOT with a following 6-day culture at 10% of DOT, which was higher by 43% and 230% compared with the culture at 25% and 10% of DOT, respectively. A fed-batch fermentation process by combining the above-mentioned pH-shift and DOT-shift strategies resulted in a significant synergistic enhancement of GA accumulation up to 754.6 mg/L, which is the highest reported in the submerged fermentation of G. lucidum in stirred-tank bioreactor.     

Optimization of nutrient medium for submerged cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum (Curt.: Fr.) P. Karst

The dependence of the amount of the grown vegetative mycelium of Ganoderma lucidum on the composition of the nutrient medium has been studied under conditions of submerged cultivation. The medium was optimized using full factorial and steepest ascent experimental designs. The addition of two carbon sources to the medium considerably improved the submerged growth of the mushroom. An optimized medium provided for a high yield (20-20.95 g/l) of the morphologically homogeneous mycelium and shortened the cultivation period to 3–4 days.     

Multi-fed batch culture integrated with three-stage light irradiation and multiple additions of copper ions for the hyperproduction of ganoderic acid and Ganoderma polysaccharides by the medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidum

To further enhance the accumulation of the bioactive metabolite ganoderic acid (GA) by fermentation of the medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidum, a novel integrated strategy was developed by simultaneously adopting a strategy of multiple Cu²⁺ additions, three-stage light irradiation and multi-pulse feeding of carbon and nitrogen sources. Maximal GA content (i.e., 4.1 mg/100 mg DW) and production (i.e., 720.8 mg/L) were obtained using the novel integrated strategy. Not only the biomass but also the total GA production obtained in this work is the highest reported for a shaker flask culture of G. lucidum. This work is useful for the large-scale production of GA by G. lucidum fermentation.     

Growth and lipid production of Umbelopsis isabellina on a solid substrate—Mechanistic modeling and validation

Microbial lipids are an interesting feedstock for biodiesel. Their production from agricultural waste streams by fungi cultivated in solid-state fermentation may be attractive, but the yield of this process is still quite low. In this article, a mechanistic model is presented that describes growth, lipid production and lipid turnover in a culture of Umbelopsis isabellina on κ-carrageenan plates containing the monomers glucose and alanine as C-source and N-source, respectively, and improves the understanding of the complex solid-state system. The model includes reaction kinetics and diffusion of glucose, alanine and oxygen. It is validated empirically and describes the different phases of the culture very well: exponential growth, linear growth because of oxygen limitation, accumulation of lipids and carbohydrates after local N-depletion and turnover of lipids after local C-depletion. Extending the model with an unidentified extracellular product improved the fit of the model to the data. The model shows that oxygen limitation is extremely important in solid-state cultures using monomers, and explains the difference in production rate with submerged cultures. However, the results also show that the specific lipid production rate in solid-state cultures is much lower than in submerged cultures, which results in a low lipid yield.     

Hydrocarbon fermentations using Candida lipolytica. II. A model for cell growth kinetics

A mechanistic model is presented for the growth kinetics of a yeast grown by submerged aerobic fermentation using a liquid hydrocarbon as sole carbon source. The model is based on the assumption that cell growth is governed by the extent of probable cell attachment at the hydrocarbon oil-droplet surfaces in a four-phase dispersion. An analytical expression has been developed for the model. It is shown that for the case of relatively small oil droplets, the model predicts the present and previous experimental data for growth of yeasts (Candida species) in n-alkane systems. The model is further examined for maximal growth in terms of substrate dilution rate and agitation power consumption for a continuous fermentation process.     

Biotechnological production and application of ganoderic acids

Ganoderic acids (GAs), a kind of highly oxygenated lanostane-type triterpenoids, are important bioactive constituents of the famous medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidum. They have received wide attention in recent years due to extraordinarily pharmacological functions. Submerged fermentation of G. lucidum is viewed as a promising technology for production of GAs, and substantial efforts have been devoted to process development for enhancing GA production in the last decade. This article reviews recent publication about fermentative production of GAs and their potential applications, especially the progresses toward manipulation of fermentation conditions and bioprocessing strategies are summarized. The biosynthetic pathway of GAs is also outlined.     

Stimulatory effects of Coix lacryma-jobi oil on the mycelial growth and metabolites biosynthesis by the submerged culture of Ganoderma lucidum

Effects of Coix lacryma-jobi oil (CLO) addition on the mycelia growth and production of bioactive metabolites, such as triterpenoids, exopolysaccharide (EPS), and intracellular polysaccharide (IPS) in the submerged culture of Ganoderma lucidum were studied. The results showed that when a level of 2% CLO was added at the beginning of culture, the biomass, triterpenoids, EPS, and IPS productions reached a maximum of 10.71 g/L, 92.94 mg/L, 0.33 g/L, and 0.389 g/L, respectively, that were 3.34-fold, 2.76-fold, 2.2-fold, and 2.23-fold compared to that of control. Analysis of fermentation kinetics of G. lucidum suggested that glucose concentration in the culture of CLO-added group decreased more quickly as compared to the control group from day 2 to day 7 of fermentation process, while the triterpenoids and polysaccharides biosynthesis were promoted at the same culture period. However, the culture pH profile was not affected by the addition of CLO. There were no new components in the two types of polysaccharides obtained by the addition of CLO. Enzyme activities analysis indicated CLO or its fatty acids affected the synthesis level of phosphoglucose isomerase and α-phosphoglucomutase at different stage.
