ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: A previously developed mathematical model of low solids thermophilic simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (tSSF) with Avicel was unable to predict performance at high solids using a commercial cellulase preparation (Spezyme CP) and the high ethanol yield Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum strain ALK2. The observed hydrolysis proceeded more slowly than predicted at solids concentrations greater than 50 g/L Avicel. Factors responsible for this inaccuracy were investigated in this study. RESULTS: Ethanol dramatically reduced cellulase activity in tSSF. At an Avicel concentration of 20 g/L, the addition of ethanol decreased conversion at 96 hours, from 75% in the absence of added ethanol down to 32% with the addition of 34 g/L initial ethanol. This decrease is much greater than expected based on hydrolysis inhibition results in the absence of a fermenting organism. The enhanced effects of ethanol were attributed to the reduced, anaerobic conditions of tSSF, which were shown to inhibit cellulase activity relative to hydrolysis under aerobic conditions. Cellulose hydrolysis in anaerobic conditions was roughly 30% slower than in the presence of air. However, this anaerobic inhibition was reversed by exposing the cellulase enzymes to air. CONCLUSION: This work demonstrates a previously unrecognized incompatibility of enzymes secreted by an aerobic fungus with the fermentation conditions of an anaerobic bacterium and suggests that enzymes better suited to industrially relevant fermentation conditions would be valuable. The effects observed may be due to inactivation or starvation of oxygen dependent GH61 activity, and manipulation or replacement of this activity may provide an opportunity to improve biomass to fuel process efficiency. 相似文献

AFP111 is a spontaneous mutant of Escherichia coli with mutations in the glucose-specific phosphotransferase system, pyruvate formate lyase system, and fermentative lactate dehydrogenase system, created to reduce byproduct formation and increase succinic acid accumulation. In AFP111, conversion of xylose to succinic acid only generates 1.67 ATP per xylose, but requires 2.67 ATP for xylose metabolism. Therefore, the ATP produced is not adequate to accomplish the conversion of xylose to succinic acid in chemically defined medium. An E. coli mutant was obtained by atmospheric and room-temperature plasmas and metabolic evolution strategies, which had the ability to use xylose and improve the capacity of cell growth. The concentration of ATP in the mutant was 1.33-fold higher than that in AFP111 during xylose fermentation. In addition, under anaerobic fermentation with almost 80 % xylose from corn stalk hydrolysate, a succinic acid concentration of 21.1 g l?1 was obtained, with a corresponding yield of 76 %. 相似文献

Fungal ammonia fermentation is a novel dissimilatory metabolic mechanism that supplies energy under anoxic conditions. The fungus Fusarium oxysporum reduces nitrate to ammonium and simultaneously oxidizes ethanol to acetate to generate ATP (Zhou, Z., Takaya, N., Nakamura, A., Yamaguchi, M., Takeo, K., and Shoun, H. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 1892-1896). We identified the Aspergillus nidulans genes involved in ammonia fermentation by analyzing fungal mutants. The results showed that assimilatory nitrate and nitrite reductases (the gene products of niaD and niiA) were essential for reducing nitrate and for anaerobic cell growth during ammonia fermentation. We also found that ethanol oxidation is coupled with nitrate reduction and catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenase, coenzyme A (CoA)-acylating aldehyde dehydrogenase, and acetyl-CoA synthetase (Acs). This is similar to the mechanism suggested in F. oxysporum except A. nidulans uses Acs to produce ATP instead of the ADP-dependent acetate kinase of F. oxysporum. The production of Acs requires a functional facA gene that encodes Acs and that is involved in ethanol assimilation and other metabolic processes. We purified the gene product of facA (FacA) from the fungus to show that the fungus acetylates FacA on its lysine residue(s) specifically under conditions of ammonia fermentation to regulate its substrate affinity. Acetylated FacA had higher affinity for acetyl-CoA than for acetate, whereas non-acetylated FacA had more affinity for acetate. Thus, the acetylated variant of the FacA protein is responsible for ATP synthesis during fungal ammonia fermentation. These results showed that the fungus ferments ammonium via coupled dissimilatory and assimilatory mechanisms. 相似文献

A novel three stages continuous fermentation process for the bioproduction of succinic acid at high concentration, productivity and yield using A. succiniciproducens was developed. This process combined an integrated membrane-bioreactor-electrodialysis system. An energetic characterization of A. succiniciproducens during anaerobic cultured in a cell recycle bioreactor was done first. The very low value of Y(ATP) obtained suggests that an ATP dependent mechanism of succinate export is present in A. succiniciproducens. Under the best culture conditions, biomass concentration and succinate volumetric productivity reach values of 42 g/L and 14.8 g/L.h. These values are respectively 28 and 20 times higher compared to batch cultures done in our laboratory. To limit end-products inhibition on growth, a mono-polar electrodialysis pilot was secondly coupled to the cell recycle bioreactor. This system allowed to continuously remove succinate and acetate from the permeate and recycle an organic acids depleted solution in the reactor. The integrated membrane-bioreactor-electrodialysis process produced a five times concentrated succinate solution (83 g/L) compared to the cell recycle reactor system, at a high average succinate yield of 1.35 mol/mol and a slightly lower volumetric productivity of 10.4 g/L.h. The process combined maximal production yield to high productivity and titer and could be economically viable for the development of a biological route for succinic acid production. 相似文献

The simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of cellulose by Fusarium oxysporum was investigated in the present study. It was found that F. oxysporum grow with a maximum specific growth rate of 0.023 h−1 on cellulose at aerobic conditions and that it can produce ethanol with a volumetric productivity of 0.044 g/L/h and a yield of 0.35 g/g cellulose under anaerobic conditions. The cellulase system in F. oxysporum is well balanced as no cellobiose accumulated. The profile of the phosphorylated intermediates from Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP), Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas Pathway (EMP) and the key intermediates of the glycolytic pathway as well as extracellular organic and amino acids were determined during the fermentation in order to investigate the potential metabolic bottlenecks of the process. The high levels of intracellular glucose-1,6-DP a metabolic downstream of phoshoglucomutase also indicates limiting activities of this enzyme and difficulty of glucose to be channelled into biosynthetic and glycolytic pathways. The presence of high levels of γ-aminobutyrate (GABA) under anaerobic conditions suggests a functional GABA bypass and possible block in the Krebs cycle. 相似文献

The anaerobic metabolism of Enterobacter aerogenes was studied in batch culture at increasing initial glucose levels (9.0< S(o) <72 g l(-1)). The ultimate concentrations of fermentation products were utilized to check a metabolic flux analysis based on simple carbon mass and energy balances that promise to be suitable for the study of different fermentation processes, either under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. The stoichiometric coefficients of products collected at increasing starting glucose concentrations under anaerobic conditions suggest: (a) little influence of starting glucose level on the formation of the main fermentation products (2,3-butanediol and ethanol); (b) possible inhibition of 2,3-butanediol and lactate formations by increased ethanol concentration; (c) consequent increase in carbon flux through the remaining metabolic pathways with increased molar productions of succinate, acetate and hydrogen; (d) relative constancy of the molar production of ATP and CO(2). 相似文献

The electron acceptors acetoin, acetaldehyde, furfural, and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) were added to anaerobic batch fermentation of xylose by recombinant, xylose utilising Saccharomyces cerevisiae TMB 3001. The intracellular fluxes during xylose fermentation before and after acetoin addition were calculated with metabolic flux analysis. Acetoin halted xylitol excretion and decreased the flux through the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway. The yield of ethanol increased from 0.62 mol ethanol/mol xylose to 1.35 mol ethanol/mol xylose, and the cell more than doubled its specific ATP production after acetoin addition compared to fermentation of xylose only. This did, however, not result in biomass growth. The xylitol excretion was also decreased by furfural and acetaldehyde but was unchanged by HMF. Thus, furfural present in lignocellulosic hydrolysate can be beneficial for ethanolic fermentation of xylose. Enzymatic analyses showed that the reduction of acetoin and furfural required NADH, whereas the reduction of HMF required NADPH. The enzymatic activity responsible for furfural reduction was considerably higher than for HMF reduction and also in situ furfural conversion was higher than HMF conversion. 相似文献

Biomass conversion to ethanol as a liquid fuel by the thermophilic and anaerobic clostridia offers a potential partial solution to the problem of the world's dependence on petroleum for energy. Coculture of a cellulolytic strain and a saccharolytic strain of Clostridium on agricultural resources, as well as on urban and industrial cellulosic wastes, is a promising approach to an alternate energy source from an economic viewpoint. This review discusses the need for such a process, the cellulases of clostridia, their presence in extracellular complexes or organelles (the cellulosomes), the binding of the cellulosomes to cellulose and to the cell surface, cellulase genetics, regulation of their synthesis, cocultures, ethanol tolerance, and metabolic pathway engineering for maximizing ethanol yield. 相似文献

The present study describes a novel yeast model for the prediction of yeast fermentation. The proposed model considers the possible metabolic pathways of yeast. For each pathway, the time evolution of components, energy (ATP/ADP), and electron carriers (NAD+/NADH) are expressed with limitation factors for all quantities consumed by each respective pathway. In this manner, the model can predict the partition of these pathways based on the growth conditions and their evolution over time. Several biological pathways and their stoichiometric coefficients are well known from literature. It is important to note that most of the kinetic parameters have no effect as the actual kinetics are controlled by the balance of limiting factors. The few remaining parameters were adjusted and compared with the literature when the data set was available. The model fits our experimental data from yeast fermentation on glucose in a nonaerated batch system. The predictive ability of the model and its capacity to represent the intensity of each pathway over time facilitate an improved understanding of the interactions between the pathways. The key role of energy (ATP) and electron carrier (NAD+) to trigger the different metabolic pathways during yeast growth is highlighted, whereas the involvement of mitochondrial respiration not being associated with the TCA cycle is also shown. 相似文献

The simultaneous utilization of efficient respiration and inefficient fermentation even in the presence of abundant oxygen is a puzzling phenomenon commonly observed in bacteria, yeasts, and cancer cells. Despite extensive research, the biochemical basis for this phenomenon remains obscure. We hypothesize that the outcome of a competition for membrane space between glucose transporters and respiratory chain (which we refer to as economics of membrane occupancy) proteins influences respiration and fermentation. By incorporating a sole constraint based on this concept in the genome‐scale metabolic model of Escherichia coli, we were able to simulate respiro‐fermentation. Further analysis of the impact of this constraint revealed differential utilization of the cytochromes and faster glucose uptake under anaerobic conditions than under aerobic conditions. Based on these simulations, we propose that bacterial cells manage the composition of their cytoplasmic membrane to maintain optimal ATP production by switching between oxidative and substrate‐level phosphorylation. These results suggest that the membrane occupancy constraint may be a fundamental governing constraint of cellular metabolism and physiology, and establishes a direct link between cell morphology and physiology. 相似文献

During anaerobiosis in darkness the main route for ATP production in plants is through glycolysis in combination with fermentation. We compared the organ-specific anaerobic fermentation of flooding-tolerant rice (Oryza sativa) and sensitive wheat (Triticum aestivum) seedlings. A sensitive laser-based photoacoustic trace gas detection system was used to monitor emission of ethanol and acetaldehyde by roots and shoots of intact seedlings. Dark-incubated rice seedlings released 3 times more acetaldehyde and 14 times more ethanol than wheat seedlings during anaerobiosis. Ninety percent of acetaldehyde originated from shoots of both species. In comparison to wheat shoots, the high ethanol production of rice shoots correlated with larger amounts of soluble carbohydrates, and higher activities of fermentative enzymes. After 24 h of anaerobiosis in darkness rice shoots still contained 30% of aerated ATP level, which enabled seedlings to survive this period. In contrast, ATP content declined almost to zero in wheat shoots and roots, which were irreversibly damaged after a 24-h anaerobic period. When plants were anaerobically and dark incubated for 4 h and subsequently transferred back to aeration, shoots showed a transient peak of acetaldehyde release indicating prompt re-oxidation of ethanol. Post-anoxic acetaldehyde production was lower in rice seedlings than in wheat. This observation accounts for a more effective acetaldehyde detoxification system in rice. Compared to wheat the greater tolerance of rice seedlings to transient anaerobic periods is explained by a faster fermentation rate of their shoots allowing a sufficient ATP production and an efficient suppression of toxic acetaldehyde formation in the early re-aeration period.Angelika Mustroph and Elena I.

Estimation of yield, maintenance, and product formation kinetic parameters in anaerobic fermentations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In many anaerobic fermentation processes, high energy bonds in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are produced when available electrons are converted from organic substrate into extracellular organic products such as ethanol. The true growth yield and maintenance parameters are directly related to the product formation kinetic parameters for these anaerobic processes. Methods are presented which allow all of the experimental measurements to be used simultaneously to estimate these parameters. Results are presented for several different anaerobic fermentations. 相似文献

It is of practical interest to investigate the effect of nitrates on bacterial metabolic regulation of both fermentation and energy generation, as compared to aerobic and anaerobic growth without nitrates. Although gene level regulation has previously been studied for nitrate assimilation, it is important to understand this metabolic regulation in terms of global regulators. In the present study, therefore, we measured gene expression using DNA microarrays, intracellular metabolite concentrations using CE-TOFMS, and metabolic fluxes using the (13)C-labeling technique for wild-type E. coli and the ΔarcA (a global regulatory gene for anoxic response control, ArcA) mutant to compare the metabolic state under nitrate conditions to that under aerobic and anaerobic conditions without nitrates in continuous culture conditions at a dilution rate of 0.2 h(-1). In wild-type, although the measured metabolite concentrations changed very little among the three culture conditions, the TCA cycle and the pentose phosphate pathway fluxes were significantly different under each condition. These results suggested that the ATP production rate was 29% higher under nitrate conditions than that under anaerobic conditions, whereas the ATP production rate was 10% lower than that under aerobic conditions. The flux changes in the TCA cycle were caused by changes in control at the gene expression level. In ΔarcA mutant, the TCA cycle flux was significantly increased (4.4 times higher than that of the wild type) under nitrate conditions. Similarly, the intracellular ATP/ADP ratio increased approximately two-fold compared to that of the wild-type strain. 相似文献

In Escherichia coli K12, succinate was not the dominant fermentation product from xylose. To reduce by-product formation and increase succinate
accumulation, pyruvate formate lyase and lactate dehydrogenase, encoded by pflB and ldhA genes, were inactivated. However, these mutations eliminated cell growth and xylose utilization. During anaerobic growth
of bacteria, organic intermediates, such as pyruvate, serve as electron acceptors to maintain the overall redox balance. Under
these conditions, the ATP needed for cell growth is derived from substrate level phosphorylation. In E. coli K12, conversion of xylose to pyruvate only yielded 0.67 net ATP per xylose during anaerobic fermentation. However, E. coli produces equimolar amounts of acetate and ethanol from two pyruvates, and these reactions generate one additional ATP. Conversion
of xylose to acetate and ethanol increases the net ATP yield from 0.67 to 1.5 per xylose, which could meet the ATP needed
for xylose metabolism. A pflB deletion strain cannot convert pyruvate to acetyl coenzyme A, the precursor for acetate and ethanol production, and could
not produce the additional ATP. Thus, the double mutations eliminated cell growth and xylose utilization. To supply the sufficient
ATPs, overexpression of ATP-forming phosphoenolpyruvate-carboxykinase from Bacillus subtilis 168 in an ldhA, pflB, and ppc deletion strain resulted in a significant increase in cell mass and succinate production. In addition, fermentation of corn
stalk hydrolysate containing a high percentage of xylose and glucose produced a final succinate concentration of 11.13 g l−1 with a yield of 1.02 g g−1 total sugars during anaerobic fermentation. 相似文献

The heat and mass transfer have been proved to be the important factors in air pressure pulsation for cellulase production. However, as process of enzyme secretion, the cellulase formation has not been studied in the view of microorganism metabolism and metabolic key enzyme activity under air pressure pulsation condition. Two fermentation methods in ATPase activity, cellulase productivity, weight lose rate and membrane permeability were systematically compared. Results indicated that gas double-dynamic solid state fermentation had no obviously effect on cell membrane permeability. However, the relation between ATPase activity and weight loss rate was linearly dependent with r = 0.9784. Meanwhile, the results also implied that gas periodic stimulation had apparently strengthened microbial metabolism through increasing ATPase activity during gas double-dynamic solid state fermentation, resulting in motivating the production of cellulase by Trichoderma reesei YG3. Therefore, the increase of ATPase activity would be another crucial factor to strengthen fermentation process for cellulase production under gas double-dynamic solid state fermentation. 相似文献

Genome-based Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) and steady-state isotopic-labeling-based Metabolic Flux Analysis (MFA) are complimentary approaches to predicting and measuring the operation and regulation of metabolic networks. Here, genome-derived models of Escherichia coli (E. coli) metabolism were used for FBA and 13C-MFA analyses of aerobic and anaerobic growths of wild-type E. coli (K-12 MG1655) cells. Validated MFA flux maps reveal that the fraction of maintenance ATP consumption in total ATP production is about 14% higher under anaerobic (51.1%) than aerobic conditions (37.2%). FBA revealed that an increased ATP utilization is consumed by ATP synthase to secrete protons from fermentation. The TCA cycle is shown to be incomplete in aerobically growing cells and submaximal growth is due to limited oxidative phosphorylation. An FBA was successful in predicting product secretion rates in aerobic culture if both glucose and oxygen uptake measurement were constrained, but the most-frequently predicted values of internal fluxes yielded from sampling the feasible space differ substantially from MFA-derived fluxes. 相似文献
