Recovery of lactic acid from fermentation broth by the two-stage process of nanofiltration and water-splitting electrodialysis

A two-stage process of nanofiltration and water-splitting electrodialysis was investigated for lactic acid recovery from fermentation broth. In this process, sodium lactate is isolated from fermentation broth in the first stage of nanofiltration by using an NTR-729HF membrane, and then is converted to lactic acid in the second stage by water-splitting electrodialysis. To determine the optimal operating conditions for nanofiltration, the effects of pressure, lactate concentration, pH and known added impurities were studied. Lactate rejection was less than 5%, magnesium rejection approximated 45%, and calcium rejection was at 40%. In subsequent water-splitting electrodialysis, both the sodium lactate conversion to lactic acid and sodium hydroxide recovery, were about 95%, with a power requirement of 0.9∼1.0 kWh per kg of lactate.     

Recovery and purification of thuringiensin from the fermentation broth of Bacillus thuringiensis

Thuringiensin is a heat stable -exotoxin from Bacillus thuringiensis with a great potential for replacing the traditional chemical pesticides. A process using micellar-enhanced ultrafitration method to recover thuringiensin was significantly improved by the use of a spiral-wound membrane, which could be operated at a low transmembrane pressure drop. This method was performed by adding a surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) into the fermentation broth. After the surfactant-thuringiensin conjugates were formed, the broth then passed through the ultrafiltration membrane and the retentate was collected. The results indicated the optimal concentration of CPC for producing a maximal recovery up to 99.3% is 4%. For purification, the centrifuged broth was further filtered by a membrane filter. The filtered solution then was mixed with 50% of activated carbon. The supernatant then was injected into a preparative HPLC. The eluate was collected during thuringiensin peak formation. This eluate was then concentrated by vacuum evaporation and dialysis using an electrodialyzer to remove the excess salts. The dialyzed solution was then crystallized by lyophilization. The purity of the thuringiensin crystal was identified by HPLC, capillary electrophoresis, and mass spectrometry.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Recovery of succinic acid produced by fermentation of a metabolically engineered Mannheimia succiniciproducens strain

There have recently been much advances in the production of succinic acid, an important four-carbon dicarboxylic acid for many industrial applications, by fermentation of several natural and engineered bacterial strains. Mannheimia succiniciproducens MBEL55E isolated from bovine rumen is able to produce succinic acid with high efficiency, but also produces acetic, formic and lactic acids just like other anaerobic succinic acid producers. We recently reported the development of an engineered M. succiniciproducens LPK7 strain which produces succinic acid as a major fermentation product while producing much reduced by-products. Having an improved succinic acid producer developed, it is equally important to develop a cost-effective downstream process for the recovery of succinic acid. In this paper, we report the development of a simpler and more efficient method for the recovery of succinic acid. For the recovery of succinic acid from the fermentation broth of LPK7 strain, a simple process composed of a single reactive extraction, vacuum distillation, and crystallization yielded highly purified succinic acid (greater than 99.5% purity, wt%) with a high yield of 67.05wt%. When the same recovery process or even multiple reactive extraction steps were applied to the fermentation broth of MBEL55E, lower purity and yield of succinic acid were obtained. These results suggest that succinic acid can be purified in a cost-effective manner by using the fermentation broth of engineered LPK7 strain, showing the importance of integrating the strain development, fermentation and downstream process for optimizing the whole processes for succinic acid production.

Recovery of ammonium lactate and removal of hardness from fermentation broth by nanofiltration

Nanofiltration (NF) was investigated as an alternative to desalting electrodialysis (ED) and ion exchange for the recovery of ammonium lactate from fermentation broth. Three commercial NF membranes, NF45, NF70, and NTR-729HF, were characterized with 50 mM NaCl, MgSO(4), and glucose solutions. NF45 membrane was selected because it showed the lowest rejection of monovalent ion, the highest rejection of divalent ion, and the highest rejection of nonpolar molecule. Effects of the operating pressure were investigated in a range of 100-400 psig, on the flux, lactate recovery, and glucose and magnesium removal from a real fermentation broth containing about 1.0 M of ammonium lactate. The flux and recovery rate increased linearly with the pressure. However, lactate rejection also increased with the pressure, lowering the recovery yield. More magnesium ions and glucose were rejected as the pressure was increased, and at 400 psig, for example, magnesium ion was almost completely rejected, highlighting the chance of obviating the necessity of ion exchange to remove hardness, by using NF instead of desalting ED. Membrane fouling was not so severe as expected, considering the complex nature and a rather high concentration of the fermentation broth treated.

Recovery of potassium clavulanate from fermentation broth by ion exchange chromatography and desalting electrodialysis

Ion exchange chromatography (IEC) and desalting electrodialysis (DSED) processes were developed for the recovery and purification of potassium clavulanate (KCA) from fermentation broth. A strong anion exchanger, Amberlite IRA 400 resin, a potassium acetate solution as equilibrium buffer, and a potassium chloride (KCl) solution as elution buffer were used for the recovery of KCA in IEC. In order to determine optimal operating conditions, the effects of various operating parameters such as equilibrium buffer pH and concentration, elution buffer concentration, gradient length, and volumetric flow rate on KCA recovery and by-product removal were investigated using a simulated fermentation broth. In the subsequent step of DSED, employing cation (Neocepta CMS, Tokuyama, Japan) and anion (Neocepta ACS, Tokuyama, Japan) exchange membranes were carried out to remove KCl that existed in a large amount in the ion exchanged solution. The effects of operation voltage and feed composition on the performance of DSED were investigated. Based on the operating conditions determined above, IEC and DSED were applied in sequence to an ultrafiltered fermentation broth. Almost complete removal of KCl was possible with no significant loss of KCA, although the KCA recovery was slightly lower than that with the simulated fermentation broth. Based on this observation, it was concluded that IEC and DESD could be an effective process combination for the recovery of KCA from fermentation broth.

Downstream processing of pullulan from fermentation broth

pullulan, a water soluble extracellular polysaccharide, was produced by downstream fermentation employing the strain Aureobasidium pullulans. To obtain pure biopolymer from the fermentation broth, it is necessary to harvest cells, heat the broth, remove the melanin pigments co-produced during fermentation, concentration, precipitate and dry. Centrifugation of the fermentation broth at 10,000 rpm for 15 min gave cell pellets that were discarded and a green–black supernatant containing melanin pigment was subjected to the heat treatment at 80 °C for 20 min in order to remove the protein in the fermentation broth. The supernatant was demelanized by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide, concentrated under vacuum, precipitated with ethanol and dried at 60 °C for 30 min. This procedure produced high purity pullulan that was comparable in color and texture to the commercial samples.

Selective extraction of acetic acid from the fermentation broth produced by Mannheimia succiniciproducens

Acetic acid is by-product from fermentation processes for producing succinic acid using Mannheimia succiniciproducens . To obtain pure succinic acid from the final fermentation broth, acetic acid was selectively removed based on the different extractability of succinic acid and acetic acid with pH using tri-n-octylamine (TOA) as extractant. When successive batch extractions were performed using 0.25 mol TOA kg(-1) dissolved in 1-octanol at pH 5, the mol ratio of succinic acid to acetic acid before extraction was 4.9 and the final ratio after the fourth batch was 9.4.     

Emulsion liquid membrane extraction of lactic acid from aqueous solutions and fermentation broth

Studies on the batch extraction of lactic acid using an emulsion liquid membrane system are reported. The membrane phase consists of the tertiary amine carrier Alamine 336 and the surfactant Span 80 dissolved in n-heptane/paraffin and aqueous solutions of sodium carbonate in the internal phase. The effects of internal phase reagent, extraction temperature, and initial external phase pH on the extraction efficiency and the emulsion swelling are examined. A statistical factorial experiment on extraction from clarified lactic acid fermentation broth was carried out to obtain knowledge of the performance of the extraction system from a broth. The extraction efficiency from the fermentation broth is found to be lower as compared to aqueous solutions of pure lactic acid. The effect of pH and the presence of other ionic species on selectivity are discussed. (c) 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

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.     

Nutrition and broth alterations in the lactic acid fermentation

In order to optimize the thermophilic lactic acid fermentation on saccharose as the sole carbon source and improve the effectiveness of the process, alternative nitrogen sources were tested and a minimal broth composition was found. Of the alternative nitrogen sources, whey protein hydrolyzate (WPH) was the best; the broth composition was reduced from seven down to three items. Application of ammonium as a neutralizing agent instead of sodium hydroxide brought an important positive change.

Characterization of peptidyl-nucleoside antifungal antibiotics from fermentation broth

Summary Characterization of sinefungin related antifungal antibiotics from fermentation broth was accomplished by coupling photodiode array (PDA) detection to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). From the combined HPLC-PDA evaluation of broth filtrate, we detected five sinefungin related components. Fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectroscopic evaluations, mass-analysed ion kinetic energy spectra (MIKES) and collision activated (CA) MIKES of these components confirmed their respective identities. Our findings from the combination of HPLC photodiode array acquisition and FAB-mass spectrometry suggest we have detected the presence of a previously unreported sinefungin analogue.
