Kinetic modeling of Candida shehatae ATCC 22984 on xylose and glucose for ethanol production

Candida shehatae ATCC 22984, a xylose-fermenting yeast, showed an ability to produce ethanol in both glucose and xylose medium. Maximum ethanol produced by the yeast was 48.8?g/L in xylose and 52.6?g/L in glucose medium with ethanol yields that varied between 0.3 and 0.4?g/g depended on initial sugar concentrations. Xylitol was a coproduct of ethanol production using xylose as substrate, and glycerol was detected in both glucose and xylose media. Kinetic model equations indicated that growth, substrate consumption, and product formation of C. shehatae were governed by substrate limitation and inhibition by ethanol. The model suggested that cell growth was totally inhibited at 40?g/L of ethanol and ethanol production capacity of the yeast was 52?g/L, which were in good agreement with experimental results. The developed model could be used to explain C. shehatae fermentation in glucose and xylose media from 20 to 170?g/L sugar concentrations.     

Viability of Candida shehatae in D-xylose fermentations with added ethanol

Ethanol was added at concentrations of 25 and 50 g/L to active cultures of Canida shehatae under oxygen-limited (fermentative) conditions. Added ethanol completely inhibited grwoth and fermentation of D-xylose by C. shehatae. Cultures with added ethanol rapidly declined in cell viability as measured by plate counts and methylene blue staining. The rate of decline in cell viability was dependent on the amount of added ethanol. Over the course of the fermentation, cell viability, as measured by plate counts, was significantly lower in all experiments (with or without ethanol addition) compared with the viability measurements by methylene blue staining. Thus, data from the plate counts provided a more sensitive measure of the toxic effects of added ethanol and long-term anaerobiosis on C. shehatae growth/fermentation. Mean cell volume and total cell volume declined in fermentations with added ethanol. (c) 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Ethanol fermentation of mixed-sugars using a two-phase, fed-batch process: method to minimize D-glucose repression of Candida shehatae D-xylose fermentations

Candida shehatae cells pre-grown on D-xylose simultaneously consumed mixtures of D-xylose and D-glucose, under both non-growing (anoxic) and actively growing conditions (aerobic), to produce ethanol. The rate of D-glucose consumption was independent of the D-xylose concentration for cells induced on D-xylose. However, the D-xylose consumption rate was approximately three times lower than the D-glucose consumption rate at a 50% D-glucose: 50% D-xylose mixture. Repression was not observed (substrate utilization rates were approximately equal) when the percentage of D-glucose and D-xylose was changed to 22% and 78%, respectively. In fermentations with actively growing cells (50% glucose and D-xylose), ethanol yields from D-xylose increased, the % D-xylose utilized increased, and the xylitol yield was significantly reduced in the presence of D-glucose, compared to anoxic fermentations (Y_ETOH,xylose = 0.2–0.40 g g⁻¹, 75–100%, and Y_xylitol = 0–0.2 g g⁻¹ compared to Y_ETOH,xylose = 0.15 g g⁻¹, 56%, Y_xylitol = 0.51 g g⁻¹, respectively). To increase ethanol levels and reduce process time, fed-batch fermentations were performed in a single stage reactor employing two phases: (1) rapid aerobic growth on D-xylose (μ = 0.32 h⁻¹) to high cell densities; (2) D-glucose addition and anaerobic conditions to produce ethanol (Y_ETOH,xylose = 0.23 g g⁻¹). The process generated high cell densities, 2 × 10⁹ cells ml⁻¹, and produced 45–50 g L⁻¹ ethanol within 50 h from a mixture of D-glucose and D-xylose (compared to 30 g L⁻¹ in 80 h in the best batch process). The two-phase process minimized loss of cell viability, increased D-xylose utilization, reduced process time, and increased final ethanol levels compared to the batch process.

Simultaneous utilization of glucose and D-xylose by Candida shehatae in a chemostat

The kinetics of biomass formation, D-xylose utilization, and mixed substrate utilization were determined in a chemostat using the yeast Candida shehatae. The maximum growth rate of C. shehatae grown aerobically on D-xylose was 0.42 h⁻¹ and the Monod constant, K _s, was 0.06 g L⁻¹. The biomass yield, Y _{X/S}, ranged from 0.40 to 0.50 g g⁻¹ over a dilution rate range of 0.2–0.3 h⁻¹, when C. shehatae was grown on pure D-xylose. Mixtures of D-xylose and glucose (∼1 : 1) were simultaneously utilized over a dilution rate from 0.15 to 0.35 h⁻¹ at pH 3.5 and 4.5, but pH 3.5 reduced μ_max and reduced the dilution rate range over which D-xylose was utilized in the presence of glucose. At pH 4.5, μ_max was not reduced with the mixed sugar feed and the overall or lumped K _s value was not significantly increased (0.058 g L⁻¹ vs 0.06 g L⁻¹), when compared to a pure D-xylose feed. Kinetic data indicate that C. shehatae is an excellent candidate for chemostat production of value added products from renewable carbon sources, since simultaneous mixed substrate utilization was observed over a wide range of growth rates on a 1 : 1 mixture of glucose and D-xylose.
