Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of cellulose for lactic acid production

Lactic acid production from α-cellulose by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) was studied. The cellulose was converted in a batch SSF using cellulase enzyme Cytolase CL to produce glucose sugar andLactobacillus delbrueckii to ferment the glucose to lactic acid. The effects of temperature, pH, yeast extract loading, and lactic acid inhibition were studied to determine the optimum conditions for the batch processing. Cellulose was converted efficiently to lactic acid, and enzymatic hydrolysis was the rate controlling step in the SSF. The highest conversion rate was obtained at 46°C and pH 5.0. The observed yield of lactic acid from α-cellulose was 0.90 at 72 hours. The optimum pH of the SSF was coincident with that of enzymatic hydrolysis. The optimum temperature of the SSF was chosen as the highest temperature the microorganism could withstand. The optimum yeast extract loading was found to be 2.5 g/L. Lactic acid was observed to be inhibitory to the microorganisms’ activity.     

Optimisation of media and cultivation conditions for L(+)(S)-lactic acid production by Lactobacillus casei NRRL B-441

Process variables and concentration of carbon in media were optimised for lactic acid production by Lactobacillus casei NRRL B-441. Lactic acid yield was inversely proportional to initial glucose concentration within the experimental area (80-160 g l(-1)). The highest lactic acid concentration in batch fermentation, 118.6 g l(-1), was obtained with 160 g 1(-1) glucose. The maximum volumetric productivity, 4.4 g 1(-1) h(-1) at 15 h, was achieved at an initial glucose concentration of 100 g l(-1). Similar lactic acid concentrations were reached with a fedbatch approach using growing cells, in which case the fermentation time was much shorter. Statistical experimental design and response surface methodology were used for optimising the process variables. The temperature and pH optima for lactic acid production were 35 degrees C, pH 6.3. Malt sprout extract supplemented with yeast extract (4 g l(-1)) appeared to be an economical alternative to yeast extract alone (22 g l(-1)) although the fermentation time was a little longer. The results demonstrated both the separation of the growth and lactic acid production phases and lactic acid production by non-growing cells without any nutrient supplements. Resting L. casei cells converted 120 g l(-1) glucose to lactic acid with 100% yield and a maximum volumetric productivity of 3.5 g l(-1) h(-1).     

Extractive lactic acid fermentation in poly (ethyleneimine)-based aqueous two-phase system

The potential of an aqueous two-phase system composed of a polycation, poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI), and an uncharged polymer, (hydroxyethyl) cellulose (HEC), for extractive lactic acid fermentation was tested. Batch fermentation with 20 g/L glucose in two-phase medium using Lactococcus lactis without external pH control resulted in 3-4 times higher amount of lactate and biomass produced as compared to that in a conventional one-phase medium. Lactic acid was preferentially partitioned to the PEI-rich bottom phase. However, the cells which favored the HEC-rich top phase in a fresh two-phase medium were partitioned to a significant extent to the bottom phase after fermentation. Addition of phosphate buffer or pH adjustment to 6.5 after fermentation caused fewer cells to move to the bottom phase. With external pH control, fermentation in normal and two-phase medium showed no marked differences in glucose consumption and lactic acid yield, except that about 1.3 times higher cell density was obtained in the two-phase broth, especially at initial glucose concentrations of 50-100 g/L. Use of higher concentration of phosphate during batch fermentation in the two-phase medium with 50 g/L sugar provided a 15% higher yield of lactic acid, but the growth rate of cells was nearly half of the normal, thus affecting the productivity. Continuous fermentation with twice the normal phosphate concentration resulted in higher cell density, product yield, and productivity in two-phase medium than in monophasic medium.

Growth conditions of clostridium perfringens type B for production of toxins used to obtain veterinary vaccines

The diseases caused for Clostridium perfringens are generically called enterotoxemias because toxins produced in the intestine may be absorbed into the general circulation. C. perfringens type B, grown in batch fermentation, produced toxins used to obtain veterinary vaccines. Glucose in concentrations of 1.4–111.1 mM was used to define the culture medium. The minimum concentration for a satisfactory production of vaccines against clostridial diseases was 55.6 mM. Best results were brought forth by meat and casein peptones, both in the concentration 5.0 g l^?1 in combination with glucose and a culture pH maintained at 6.5 throughout the fermentation process. The production of lactic, acetic and propionic organic acids was observed. Ethanol was the metabolite produced in the highest concentration when cultures maintained steady pH of 6.5 with exception of cultures with initial glucose concentration of 1.4 mM, where the highest production was of propionic acid. Maximal cell concentration and the highest toxin title concomitantly low yield coefficient to organic acids and ethanol were obtained using basal medium containing 111.1 mM glucose under a controlled pH culture (pH) 6.5 in batch fermentations of C. perfringens type B. These data contribute to improve process for industrial toxin production allowing better condition to produce a toxoid vaccine.     

Utilization of Molasses Sugar for Lactic Acid Production by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii Mutant Uc-3 in Batch Fermentation

Efficient lactic acid production from cane sugar molasses by Lactobacillus delbrueckii mutant Uc-3 in batch fermentation process is demonstrated. Lactic acid fermentation using molasses was not significantly affected by yeast extract concentrations. The final lactic acid concentration increased with increases of molasses sugar concentrations up to 190 g/liter. The maximum lactic acid concentration of 166 g/liter was obtained at a molasses sugar concentration of 190 g/liter with a productivity of 4.15 g/liter/h. Such a high concentration of lactic acid with high productivity from molasses has not been reported previously, and hence mutant Uc-3 could be a potential candidate for economical production of lactic acid from molasses at a commercial scale.     

Optimum conditions for the biological production of lactic acid by a newly isolated lactic acid bacterium,Lactobacillus sp. RKY2

Lactic acid is a green chemical that can be used as a raw material for biodegradable polymer. To produce lactic acid through microbial fermentation, we previously screened a novel lactic acid bacterium. In this work, we optimized lactic acid fermentation using a newly isolated and homofermentative lactic acid bacterium. The optimum medium components were found to be glucose, yeast extract, (NH₄)₂HPO₄, and MnSO₄. The optimum pH and temperature for a batch culture ofLactobacillus sp. RKY2 was found to be 6.0 and 36°C, respectively. Under the optimized culture conditions, the maximum lactic acid concentration (153.9 g/L) was obtained from 200 g/L of glucose and 15 g/L of yeast extract, and maximum lactic acid productivity (6.21 gL⁻¹h⁻¹) was obtained from 100 g/L of glucose and 20 g/L of yeast extract. In all cases, the lactic acid yields were found to be above 0.91 g/g. This article provides the optimized conditions for a batch culture ofLactobacillus sp. RKY2, which resulted in highest productivity of lactic acid.     

Novel Method of Lactic Acid Production by Electrodialysis Fermentation

In lactic acid fermentation by Lactobacillus delbrueckii, the produced lactic acid affected the lactic acid productivity. Therefore, for the purpose of alleviating this inhibitory effect, an electrodialysis fermentation method which can continuously remove produced lactic acid from the fermentation broth was applied to this fermentation process. As a result, the continuation of fermentation activity was obtained, and the productivity was three times higher than in non-pH-controlled fermentation. In electrodialysis fermentation, the amount of produced lactic acid was 82.2 g/liter, which was about 5.5 times greater than that produced in non-pH-controlled fermentation. It was concluded that these good results were obtained on account of alleviating the lactic acid inhibitory effect by electrodialysis fermentation. However, the fouling of anion-exchange membranes by cells was observed in electrodialysis fermentation.     

Fermentative lactic acid production with a metabolically engineered yeast immobilized in photo-crosslinkable resins

In this study, the immobilization technique involving photo-crosslinkable resin gels was used for lactic acid production. Saccharomyces cerevisiae OC-2T T165R, a metabolically engineered yeast that produces optically pure l(+)-lactic acid, was immobilized in hydrophilic photo-crosslinked resin gels as a biocatalyst. Three resin gels, TEP 1, TEP 2 and TEP 3, were examined and all of them showed high performance as to lactic acid production. Resin gel TEP 1, which exhibited the highest productivity among the resin gels was used for 15 consecutive batch fermentations without decreases in productivity and mechanical deformation, indicating that it was a suitable carrier for long-term lactic acid fermentation. Moreover, the use of the immobilization technique can improve the productivity of the metabolically engineered yeast in the fermentation with or without extraction, showing promise for using the immobilized engineered yeast for lactic acid production.     

EXTRACTIVE FERMENTATION OF GIBBERELLIC ACID WITH FREE AND IMMOBILIZED Gibberella fujikuroi

Gibberelic acid fermentation using extractive methods was carried out in the presence of corn oil and Alamine 336. Gibberella fujikuroi fungus (NRRL 2278) was used to produce gibberellic acid. Oleyl alcohol was a diluting agent for Alamine 336. The effects of oleyl alcohol (100%, v/v), corn oil (5–25%, v/v), the concentration of Alamine 336 in oleyl alcohol, and feeding air were examined in this study. According to the results, oleyl alcohol was not effective on the production. On the other hand, oleyl alcohol solutions containing 15–30% (v/v) Alamine 336 showed effects as a toxic substance. In order to reduce solvent toxicity, corn oil was used. Addition of corn oil increased the concentration of gibberellic acid 1.3-fold compared to the control. Then the effects of immobilization and co-immobilization on extractive gibberelic acid fermentation were investigated. The highest total gibberellic acid concentration of 158.9 mg/L was produced with immobilized cells and feeding air by using extractive fermentation. The yield of gibberellic acid increased about 2.6-fold compared with the shake-flask fermentation (60.5 mg/L) without organic solutions.     

Characterization of ethanol fermentation waste and its application to lactic acid production by Lactobacillus paracasei

In this study, an ethanol fermentation waste (EFW) was characterized for use as an alternative to yeast extract for bulk fermentation processes. EFW generated from a commercial plant in which ethanol is produced from cassava/rice/wheat/barley starch mixtures using Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used for lactic acid production by Lactobacillus paracasei. The effects of temperature, pH, and duration on the autolysis of an ethanol fermentation broth (EFB) were also investigated. The distilled EFW (DEFW) contained significant amounts of soluble proteins (2.91 g/l), nitrogen (0.47 g/l), and amino acids (24.1 mg/l). The autolysis of the EFB under optimum conditions released twice as much amino acids than in the DEFW. Batch fermentation in the DEFW increased the final lactic acid concentration, overall lactic acid productivity, and lactic acid yield on glucose by 17, 41, and 14 %, respectively, in comparison with those from comparable fermentation in a lactobacillus growth medium (LGM) that contained 2 g/l yeast extract. Furthermore, the overall lactic acid productivity in the autolyzed then distilled EFW (ADEFW) was 80 and 27 % higher than in the LGM and DEFW, respectively.     

Extractive lactic acid fermentation with tri-n-decylamine as the extractant

In this study, the possibility of tri-n-decylamine (TDA) was investigated as the extractant in extractive lactic acid fermentation with a recombinant yeast being used. Extractive fermentation with TDA did not provide high l-lactic acid production relative to fermentation without extraction. Through determination of trace components of the TDA, it was found that the TDA contained a high concentration of 1-decylaldehyde, which was confirmed to be toxic to yeast and to have an inhibitory effect on cell growth even at low concentration (40 ppm). When 1-decylaldehyde in TDA was reduced from 700 ppm to 33 ppm, the productivity and total concentration of lactic acid increased by 1.8 times and 2.5 times, respectively.     

Direct fermentation of potato starch wastewater to lactic acid by Rhizopus oryzae and Rhizopus arrhizus

The biochemical kinetic of direct fermentation for lactic acid production by fungal species of Rhizopus arrhizus 3,6017 and Rhizopus oryzae 2,062 was studied with respect to growth pH, temperature and substrate. The direct fermentation was characterized by starch hydrolysis, accumulation of reducing sugar, and production of lactic acid and fungal biomass. Starch hydrolysis, reducing sugar accumulation, biomass formation and lactic acid production were affected with the variations in pH, temperature, and starch source and concentration. A growth condition with starch concentration approximately 20 g/l at pH 6.0 and 30°C was favourable for both starch saccharification and lactic acid fermentation, resulting in lactic acid yield of 0.87–0.97 g/g starch associated with 1.5–2.0 g/l fungal biomass produced in 36 h fermentation. R. arrhizus 3,6017 had a higher capacity to produce lactic acid, while R. oryzae 2,062 produced more fungal biomass under similar conditions.     

Efficient production of l-lactic acid by newly isolated thermophilic Bacillus coagulans WCP10-4 with high glucose tolerance

A thermophilic Bacillus coagulans WCP10-4 with tolerance to high concentration of glucose was isolated from soil and used to produce optically pure l-lactic acid from glucose and starch. In batch fermentation at pH?6.0, 240 g/L of glucose was completely consumed giving 210 g/L of l-lactic acid with a yield of 95 % and a productivity of 3.5 g/L/h. In simultaneous saccharification and fermentation at 50 °C without sterilizing the medium, 200 g/L of corn starch was completely consumed producing 202.0 g/L of l-lactic acid. To the best of our knowledge, this strain shows the highest osmotic tolerance to glucose among the strains ever reported for lactic acid production. This is the first report of simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of starch for lactic acid production under a non-sterilized condition.     

Production of Bakers' Yeast in Cheese Whey Ultrafiltrate

A process for the production of bakers' yeast in whey ultrafiltrate (WU) is described. Lactose in WU was converted to lactic acid and galactose by fermentation. Streptococcus thermophilus was selected for this purpose. Preculturing of S. thermophilus in skim milk considerably reduced its lag. Lactic fermentation in 2.3×-concentrated WU was delayed compared with that in unconcentrated whey, and fermentation could not be completed within 60 h. The growth rate of bakers' yeast in fermented WU differed among strains. The rate of galactose utilization was similar for all strains, but differences in lactic acid utilization occurred. Optimal pH ranges for galactose and lactic acid utilization were 5.5 to 6.0 and 5.0 to 5.5, respectively. The addition of 4 g of corn steep liquor per liter to fermented WU increased cell yields. Two sources of nitrogen were available for growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: amino acids (corn steep liquor) and ammonium (added during the lactic acid fermentation). Ammonium was mostly assimilated during growth on lactic acid. This process could permit the substitution of molasses by WU for the industrial production of bakers' yeast.     

Lactobacillus pentosus CECT 4023 T co-utilizes glucose and xylose to produce lactic acid from wheat straw hydrolysate: Anaerobiosis as a key factor

Lactic acid is a versatile chemical that can be produced via fermentation of lignocellulosic materials. The heterolactic strain Lactobacillus pentosus CECT 4023 T, that can consume glucose and xylose, was studied to produce lactic acid from steam exploded wheat straw prehydrolysate. The effect of temperature and pH on bacterial growth was analyzed. Besides, the effect of oxygen on lactic acid production was tested and fermentation yields were compared in different scenarios. This strain showed very high tolerance to the inhibitors contained in the wheat straw prehydrolysate. The highest lactic acid yields based on present sugar, around 0.80 g g⁻¹, were obtained from glucose in presence of 25%, 50%, and 75% v v⁻¹ of prehydrolysate in strict anaerobiosis. Lactic fermentation of wheat straw hydrolysate obtained after enzymatic hydrolysis of the prehydrolysate yielded 0.39 g of lactic acid per gram of released sugars, which demonstrated the high potential of L. pentosus to produce lactic acid from hemicellulosic hydrolysates. Results presented herein not only corroborated the ability of L. pentosus to grow using mixtures of sugars, but also demonstrated the suitability of this strain to be applied as an efficient lactic acid producer in a lignocellulosic biorefinery approach. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Utilization of by-products derived from bioethanol production process for cost-effective production of lactic acid

The by-products of bioethanol production such as thin stillage (TS) and condensed distillers solubles (CDS) were used as a potential nitrogen source for economical production of lactic acid. The effect of those by-products and their concentrations on lactic acid fermentation were investigated using Lactobacillus paracasei CHB2121. Approximately, 6.7 g/L of yeast extract at a carbon source to nitrogen source ratio of 15 was required to produce 90 g/L of lactic acid in the medium containing 100 g/L of glucose. Batch fermentation of TS medium resulted in 90 g/L of lactic acid after 48 h, and the medium containing 10 % CDS resulted in 95 g/L of lactic acid after 44 h. Therefore, TS and CDS could be considered as potential alternative fermentation medium for the economical production of lactic acid. Furthermore, lactic acid fermentation was performed using only cassava and CDS for commercial production of lactic acid. The volumetric productivity of lactic acid [2.94 g/(L·h)] was 37 % higher than the productivity obtained from the medium with glucose and CDS.     

Use of mixed cultures for the fermentation of cereal-based substrates with potential probiotic properties

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.     

High-rate continuous production of lactic acid by Lactobacillus rhamnosus in a two-stage membrane cell-recycle bioreactor

It is important to produce L(+)-lactic acid at the lowest cost possible for lactic acid to become a candidate monomer material for promising biodegradable polylactic acid. In an effort to develop a high-rate bioreactor that provides high productivity along with a high concentration of lactic acid, the performance of membrane cell-recycle bioreactor (MCRB) was investigated via experimental studies and simulation optimization. Due to greatly increased cell density, high lactic acid productivity, 21.6 g L(-1) h(-1), was obtained in the reactor. The lactic acid concentration, however, could not be increased higher than 83 g/L. When an additional continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) was attached next to the MCRB a higher lactic acid concentration of 87 g/L was produced at significant productivity expense. When the two MCRBs were connected in series, 92 g/L lactic acid could be produced with a productivity of 57 g L(-1) h(-1), the highest productivity among the reports of L(+)-lactic acid that obtained lactic acid concentration higher than 85 g/L using glucose substrate. Additionally, the investigation of lactic acid fermentation kinetics resulted in a successful model that represents the characteristics of lactic acid fermentation by Lactobacillus rhamnosus. The model was found to be applicable to most of the existing data with MCRBs and was in good agreement with Levenspiel's product-inhibition model, and the Luedeking-Piret equation for product-formation kinetics appeared to be effective in representing the fermentation kinetics. There was a distinctive difference in the production potential of cells (cell-density-related parameter in Luedeking-Piret equation) as lactic acid concentration increases over 55 g/L, and this finding led to a more precise estimation of bioreactor performance.
