Purification during crossflow electromicrofiltration of fermentation broth

The present study was to investigate the purification of a fermentation broth by an electromicrofiltration membrane. Microfiltration runs with a crude and a centrifuged broth, with solution of particles recovered from centrifugation and with permeates from microfiltration experiments were thus compared.Microfiltration performances were governed by colloids and small particles that induced sharp initial flux declines. For these results, the evolution of the overall membrane resistance was increased by 80% in comparison with the electromicrofiltration membrane. The main focus of this study was set on the enhancement of the filtrate flux by an electric field. This pressure electrofiltration leads to a drastic improvement of the filtration by 100% and the filtration time was thereby reduced. Pressure electrofiltration serves as an interesting alternative to the cross-flow filtration and it effectively separates advantageous constituents such as amino acids and biopolymers from a fermentation broth. They were equally maintained during the microelectrofiltration, although they were significantly reduced by 45% by the microfiltration without the application of an electric field. Accordingly, since the electrofiltration membrane was provided more permeability, this study experimentally demonstrates that the permeability inside a membrane can be controlled using an electric field.

Hydraulic resistance and fouling of microfilters by Candida utilis in fermentation broth

The hydraulic resistance and membrane fouling effects of Candida utilis in fermentation broth were investigated using Millipore PVDF 0.22-mum membranes (GVWP and GVHP) in a stirred-cell system at 50 kPa and 700 rpm. With the various components of broth, spent medium, which contains colloidal particles and macromolecules having sizes (0.32 to 2.67 mum) comparable with the membrane pores (actual range 0.26 to 0.63 mum), was found to be the major contributing factor to the membrane fouling by broth through pore plugging. This led the spent medium to exhibit the highest hydraulic resistance (R(sm) of 5.8E + 12 m(-1)) and percentage flux loss (81.0%) when compared with either intact cells alone in buffer or to whole broth. Intact cells appeared to physically block and protect the pores without significant adhesion, because of the relatively hydrophilic nature of their cell walls (hydrophobicity of 5.9% at hour 36), resulting in the lowest hydraulic resistance (Rsbc of 7.5E + 11m(-1)) and percentage flux loss (19.3%).However, the hydraulic resistance and percentage flux loss of broth increased as cells aged. This was attributed to the increase in particle loading (intact cells by 15.37%, released cell contents and cell fragments) and in the hydrophobicity of cell walls. Autoclaved broth, lysed broth and aged broth, which contained a larger portion of colloidal particles and released cell contents caused a more pronounced fouling effect. This was revealed by the absence of flux recovery after depressurization with continuous stirring, even when a hydrophilic membrane was used. Furthermore, the hydrophobicity of C. utilis was found to increase with yeast extract present in medium, and use of hydrophobic membranes helped enhance the fouling effect. Overall, the degree of irreversible membrane fouling could be revealed by the value of R(sm)/R(t') and the hydraulic resistance, which resulted from concentration polarrzation, could be revealed by the value of R(c)/R(t') where R(t) = R(m) + R(sm) + R(c') and R(m) is the clean membrane resistance.

In situ separation of lactic acid from fermentation broth using ion exchange resins

Lactic acid fermentation is an end product inhibited reaction. In situ separation of lactic acid from fermentation broth using ion exchange resins was investigated and compared with conventional fermentation system. Amberlite resin (IRA-400, Cl⁻) was used to separate lactic acid from fermentation broth and pH was controlled online with an automatic pH controller. The effect of process variables on lactic acid production by Lactobacillus casei in whey permeate was studied. The maximum productivity was obtained at pH = 6.1, T = 37 °C and impeller speed = 200 rpm. The maximum concentration of lactic acid at optimum condition was found to be 37.4 g/L after 38 h of fermentation using in situ separation system. The productivity of in situ separation system was five times increased in comparison with conventional system.     

Coupled biosynthesis and esterification of 1,2,4‐butanetriol to simplify its separation from fermentation broth

1,2,4‐Butanetriol (BT) is a valuable chemical with versatile applications in many fields and can be produced through biosynthetic pathways. As a trihydric alcohol, BT possesses good water solubility and is very difficult to separate from fermentation broth, which does complicate the production process and increase the cost. To develop a novel method for BT separation, a biosynthetic pathway for 1,2,4‐butanetriol esters with poor water solubility was constructed. Wax ester synthase/acyl‐coenzyme A: diacylglycerol acyltransferase (Atf) from Acinetobacter baylyi, Mycobacterium smegmatis, and Escherichia coli were screened, and the acyltransferase from A. baylyi (AtfA) was found to have higher capability. The BT producing strain with AtfA overexpression produced 49.5 mg/L BT oleate in flask cultivation. Through enhancement of acyl‐CoA production by overexpression of the acyl‐CoA synthetase gene fadD and deleting the acyl coenzyme A dehydrogenase gene fadE, the production was improved to 64.4 mg/L. Under fed‐batch fermentation, the resulting strain produced up to 1.1 g/L BT oleate. This is the first time showed that engineered E. coli strains can successfully produce BT esters from xylose and free fatty acids.     

Influence of fermentation conditions and microfiltration processes on membrane fouling during recovery of glucuronane polysaccharides from fermentation broths.

We have investigated the recovery of exopolysaccharides produced by Sinorhizobium meliloti M5N1 CS bacteria from fermentation broths using different membrane filtration processes: cross-flow filtration with a 7 mm i.d. tubular ceramic membrane of 0.5-microm pores under fixed transmembrane pressure or fixed permeate flux and dynamic filtration with a 0.2 microm nylon membrane using a 16-cm rotating disc filter. With the tubular membrane, the polysaccharide mass flux was mainly limited by polymer transmission that decayed to 10% after 90 min. The mass flux of polymer produced under standard fermentation conditions (70 h at 30 degrees C) stabilized after 70 min to 15 g/h/m(2). This mass flux rises to 36 g/h/m(2) when the mean stirring speed during fermentation is increased and to 123 g/h/m(2) when fermentation is extended to 120 h. In both cases, the mean molecular weight of polysaccharides drops from 4.0 10(5) g/mol under standard conditions to 2.7 10(5) g/mol. A similar reduction in molecular weight was observed when the fermentation temperature was raised to 36 degrees C without benefit to the mass flux. These changes in fermentation conditions have little effect on stabilized permeate flux, but raise significantly the sieving coefficient, due probably to molecular weight reduction and the filamentous aspect of the polymer as observed from SEM photographs. The polymer-mass flux was also increased by reducing transmembrane pressure (TMP) and raising the shear rate by inserting a rod in the membrane lumen. Operation under fixed permeate flux instead of constant TMP inhibited fouling during the first 4 h, resulting in higher sieving coefficients and polymer mass fluxes. The most interesting results were obtained with dynamic filtration because it allows operation at high-shear rates and low TMP. Sieving coefficients remained between 90 and 100%. With a smooth disc, the polysaccharide mass flux remained close to 180 g/h/m(2) at 1500 rpm and cell concentrations from 1 to 3 g/L. When radial rods were glued to the disc to increase wall shear stress and turbulence, the mass flux rose to 275 g/h/m(2) at the same speed and cell concentration.     

Comparison of different options for harvest of a therapeutic protein product from high cell density yeast fermentation broth

Recovery of therapeutic protein from high cell density yeast fermentations at commercial scale is a challenging task. In this study, we investigate and compare three different harvest approaches, namely centrifugation followed by depth filtration, centrifugation followed by filter-aid enhanced depth filtration, and microfiltration. This is achieved by presenting a case study involving recovery of a therapeutic protein from Pichia pastoris fermentation broth. The focus of this study is on performance of the depth filtration and the microfiltration steps. The experimental data has been fitted to the conventional models for cake filtration to evaluate specific cake resistance and cake compressibility. In the case of microfiltration, the experimental data agrees well with flux predicted by shear induced diffusion model. It is shown that, under optimal conditions, all three options can deliver the desired product recovery ( >80%), harvest time ( <15 h including sequential concentration/diafiltration step), and clarification ( <6 NTU). However, the three options differ in terms of process development time required, capital cost, consumable cost, ease of scale-ability and process robustness. It is recommended that these be kept under consideration when making a final decision on a harvesting approach.     

Coupling the fermentation and membrane separation process for polyamides monomer cadaverine production from feedstock lysine

Nylon is a polyamide material with excellent performance used widely in the aviation and automobile industries, and other fields. Nylon monomers such as hexamethylene diamine and other monomers are in huge demand. Therefore, in order to expand the methods of nylon production, we tried to develop alternative bio‐manufacturing processes which would make a positive contribution to the nylon industry. In this study, the engineered E. coli‐overexpressing Lysine decarboxylases (LDCs) were used for the bioconversion of l‐lysine to cadaverine. An integrated fermentation and microfiltration (MF) process for high‐level cadaverine production by E. coli was established. Concentration was increased from 87 to 263.6 g/L cadaverine after six batch coupling with a productivity of 3.65 g/L‐h. The cadaverine concentration was also increased significantly from 0.43 g cadaverine/g l‐lysine to 0.88 g cadaverine/g l‐lysine by repeated batch fermentation. These experimental results indicate that coupling the fermentation and membrane separation process could benefit the continuous production of cadaverine at high levels.
