酚酮类对树干毕赤酵母乙醇发酵及脂肪酸组成的影响

木质素降解产物对微生物产生的抑制作用,是燃料乙醇生物炼制的主要瓶颈之一。本文以树干毕赤酵母为发酵菌株,研究木质素降解产物中3种酚酮类(4-羟基苯乙酮、4-羟基-3-甲氧基苯乙酮、4-羟基-3,5-二甲氧基苯乙酮)对其木糖乙醇发酵及酵母细胞脂肪酸组成的影响。采用高效液相色谱(HPLC)和气相色谱-质谱联用(GC/MS)技术对乙醇发酵性能和酵母细胞脂肪酸组成进行分析。研究结果表明,酚酮类物质对乙醇发酵呈现抑制作用且其分子量越低抑制作用越明显,当4-羟基苯乙酮浓度为1.50 g/L时,发酵24 h的木糖利用率、乙醇得率和乙醇浓度分别下降了42.47%、5.30%和9.76 g/L;培养基中存在酚酮类物质时,酵母细胞中的不饱和脂肪酸的比例上升,添加1.50 g/L的3种酚酮类物质后,树干毕赤酵母细胞不饱和脂肪酸和饱和脂肪酸的比例从原来的2.58分别上升到3.03、3.06和3.61,酵母细胞膜的流动性随之上升,不稳定性提高。因此,酚酮类物质能够降低酵母生长、提高不饱和脂肪酸的比例以及降低乙醇发酵能力,有效降低或去除木质素降解产物含量是提高木质纤维原料生物炼制的关键。     

树干毕赤酵母酒精发酵碳元素代谢流向分析

实验对树干毕赤酵母（Pichia stipitis）进行了4个阶段共400 h连续恒化培养,在不同阶段以30.0 g/L葡萄糖作为基本碳源,添加30.0或15.0 g/L的木糖,通过控制温度（35±1）℃,进气量100～150mL/min,搅拌转速250～300 r/min。4个阶段共建立4个连续培养的"稳态"。对碳元素进行物料衡算发现,四个阶段碳元素回收率分别为118.0 %、105.6 %、113.5 %和94.7 %。对4个近似"稳态"的碳元素的代谢流向进行分析发现：将近50.0 %左右碳元素流向产物酒精,其次是CO2和酵母细胞;木糖醇浓度与流入底物中木糖浓度有直接关系,在相同发酵条件下流入的木糖浓度越大代谢生成木糖醇浓度也越高;实验所采用的通气条件更适合底物为30.0 g/L葡萄糖和30.0 g/L木糖混合液的连续发酵。     

毕赤酵母高密度发酵工艺的研究

高密度发酵是毕赤酵母提高蛋白表达量的一种重要策略,发酵工艺是高密度发酵的一个重要因素。采用下列措施均可以有效地提高表达水平：调节基础培养基,采用变pH和变温发酵,提高DO,选择最适的诱导前菌体密度和比生长速率并降低甘油初始浓度和采用分段式指数流加进行调控。选择合适的甲醇补料策略：甲醇限制补料（MLFB）、氧气限制补料（OLFB）、甲醇不限制补料（MNLFB）和温度限制补料（TLFB）。采用两种方式调控补料：诱导阶段菌体生长时,甲醇比消耗速率(qMeOH)为0.02-0.03gg-1h-1,而菌体不生长时,qMeOH采用较高值。

Ethanol production from eucalyptus wood hemicellulose hydrolysate by Pichia stipitis

Ethanol production was evaluated from eucalyptus wood hemicellulose acid hydrolysate using Pichia stipitis NRRL Y-7124. An initial lag phase characterized by flocculation and viability loss of the yeast inoculated was observed. Subsequently, cell regrowth occurred with sequential consumption of sugars and production of ethanol. Polyol formation was detected. Acetic acid present in the hydrolysate was an important inhibitor of the fermentation, reducing the rate and the yield. Its toxic effect was due essentially to its undissociated form. The fermentation was more effective at an oxygen transfer rate between 1.2 and 2.4 mmol/L h and an initial pH of 6.5. The hydrolysate used in the experiences had the following composition (expressed in grams per liter): xylose 30, arabinose 2.8, glucose 1.5, galactose 3.7, mannose 1.0, cellobiose 0.5, acetic acid 10, glucuronic acid 1.5, and galacturonic acid 1.0. The best values obtained were maximum ethanol concentration 12.6 g/L, fermentation time 75 h, fermentable sugar consumption 99% ethanol yield 0.35 g/g sugars consumed, and volumetric ethanol productivity 4 g/L day.

Influence of magnesium concentration on growth,ethanol and xylitol production by Pichia stipitis NRRL Y-7124

Summary The effect of Mg⁺² on Pichia stipitis growth and ethanol production was studied under condition of constant oxygen uptake rate (OUR) . Biomass/xylose and biomass/Mg⁺² yields increased with Mg⁺² concentration with a maximum value at Mg⁺² 4mM, ethanol being the main product obtained. At low Mg⁺² levels (ImM) 49 % of carbon flux to ethanol was redirected to xylitol production, accomplished through NADH intracellular accumulation.     

Ethanol production from hardwood spent sulfite liquor using an adapted strain of Pichia stipitis

Conditions have been optimized for fermentation of pretreated hardwood spent sulfite liquor (HSSL) using an adapted strain of Pichia stipitis. The pretreatments, consisting of boiling and overliming with Ca(OH)₂ of HSSL, to partially remove inhibitors, and adaptation of the yeast strain to HSSL, were both critical for a successful fermentation. Ethanol concentration was increased from 6.7 to 20.2 g l⁻¹ using adapted P. stipitis (A) and pretreated HSSL. The maximum ethanol yield (Y _p/s) and productivity (Q _p) were 0.41 g g⁻¹ and 0.44 g l⁻¹ h⁻¹, respectively, at an oxygen transfer rate of 2.0 mmol O₂ l⁻¹ h⁻¹. The optimized results with this strain were compared to those of other xylose-fermenting yeasts and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SSL-acclimatized) currently used at an industrial plant for the fermentation of spent sulfite liquor.

Mutants of the pentose‐fermenting yeast Pichia stipitis with improved tolerance to inhibitors in hardwood spent sulfite liquor

Mutants of Pichia stipitis NRRL Y‐7124 able to tolerate and produce ethanol from hardwood spent sulfite liquor (HW SSL) were obtained by UV mutagenesis. P. stipitis cells were subjected to three successive rounds of UV mutagenesis, each followed by screening first on HW SSL gradient plates and then in diluted liquid HW SSL. Six third generation mutants with greater tolerance to HW SSL as compared to the wild type (WT) were isolated. The WT strain could not grow in HW SSL unless it was diluted to 65% (v/v). In contrast, the third generation mutants were able to grow in HW SSL diluted to 75% (v/v). Mutants PS301 and PS302 survived even in 80% (v/v) HW SSL, although there was no increase in cell number. All the third generation mutants exhibited higher growth rates but significantly lower growth yields on xylose or glucose compared to the WT. The mutants fermented 4% (w/v) glucose as efficiently as the WT and fermented 4% (w/v) xylose more efficiently with a higher ethanol yield than the WT. In a medium containing 4% (w/v) each of xylose and glucose, all the third generation mutants utilized glucose as efficiently and xylose more efficiently than the WT. This resulted in higher ethanol yield by the mutants. The mutants retained the ability to utilize galactose and mannose and ferment them to ethanol. Arabinose was consumed slowly by both the mutants and WT with no ethanol production. In 60% (v/v) HW SSL, the mutants utilized and fermented glucose, mannose, galactose and xylose while the WT could not ferment any of these sugars. Biotechnol.

A parametric study on ethanol production from xylose byPichia stipitis

Characteristics of ethanol production by a xylose-fermenting yeast,Pichia stipitis Y-7124, were studied. The sugar consumption rate and specific growth rate were higher in the glucose-containing medium than in the xylose-containing medium. Specific activities of xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase were higher in the medium with xylose than glucose, suggesting their induction by xylose. Maximum specific growth rate and ethanol yield were achieved at 30 g xylose/L concentration without formation of by-products such as xylitol and acetic acid whereas a maximum ethanol concentration was obtained at 130 g/L xylose. Adding a respiratory inhibitor, rotenone, increased a maximum ethanol concentration by 10% compared with the control experiment. In order to evaluate the pattern of ethanol inhibition on specific growth rate, a kinetic model based on Luong’s equations was applied. The relationship between ethanol concentration and specific growth rate was hyperbolic for glucose and parabolic for xylose. A maximum ethanol concentration at which cells did not grow was 33.6 g/L for glucose and 44.7 g/L for xylose.
