耐氨米根霉发酵生产L-乳酸的研究

传统的L-乳酸发酵法生产以CaCO3为酸中和剂,在乳酸后提取中产生的大量石膏废渣不仅在过滤时造成较大的乳酸损失,而且由于废渣不易处理,对L-乳酸万吨级规模的生产将形成巨大的环保压力和废渣处理成本。为此,为了降低L-乳酸生产成本,该文采用氨水为酸中和剂,用筛选得到的一株米根霉RhizopusoryzaeJS-N02-02进行以氨水为中和剂的L-乳酸摇瓶、15L自动发酵罐的发酵试验。以玉米粉双酶水解糖为碳源,接种孢子浓度1×105个ml,以0.01%(NH4)2SO4为氮源,30℃,15L自动发酵罐连续5批发酵,平均总糖浓度为136.8gL,平均产酸达100.6gL,L-乳酸纯度达95.3%,糖酸转化率达71.6%。

高糖和氮源对鼠李糖乳杆菌(Lactobacillus rhamnosus)L-乳酸发酵的影响

鼠李糖乳杆菌经实验室耐高糖高酸选育,能够在高糖浓度下高效高产L-乳酸。以酵母粉为氮源和生长因子,葡萄糖初始浓度分别为120 g/L和146 g/L,摇瓶培养120h,L-乳酸产量分别为104g/L和117.5g/L,L-乳酸得率分别为86.7%和80.5%。高葡萄糖浓度对菌的生长和乳酸发酵有一定的抑制。增加接种量,在高糖浓度发酵条件下,可以缩短发酵时间,但对增加乳酸产量效果不明显。乳酸浓度对鼠李糖乳杆菌生长和产酸有显著的影响。初始乳酸浓度到达70g/L以上时,鼠李糖乳杆菌基本不生长和产酸,葡萄糖消耗也被抑制。酵母粉是鼠李糖乳杆菌的优良氮源,使用其它被测试的氮源菌体生长和产酸都有一定程度的下降。用廉价的黄豆粉并补充微量维生素液,替代培养基中的酵母粉,可以使产酸浓度和碳源得率得以基本维持。

Electrotransformation of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis with Various Plasmids

We describe, for the first time, a detailed electroporation procedure for Lactobacillus delbrueckii. Three L. delbrueckii strains were successfully transformed. Under optimal conditions, the transformation efficiency was 10⁴ transformants per μg of DNA. Using this procedure, we identified several plasmids able to replicate in L. delbrueckii and integrated an integrative vector based on phage integrative elements into the L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus chromosome. These vectors provide a good basis for developing molecular tools for L. delbrueckii and open the field of genetic studies in L. delbrueckii.     

Differentiation of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis by SDS-PAGE of cell-wall proteins

AIMS: In the present study, a method based on SDS-PAGE fingerprinting of surface layer proteins was developed to identify Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and subsp. lactis dairy isolates. METHODS AND RESULTS: The two subspecies, identified by species-specific PCR, were characterized by different SDS-PAGE cell-wall protein profiles; subspecies bulgaricus showed one band of about 31 kDa which, in some cases, was observed at a doublet, and subspecies lactis showed one band of about 21 kDa or 18 kDa. CONCLUSION: The sensitivity of this procedure for discriminating between the two subspecies was very high. The different types of SDS-PAGE profile for cell-wall proteins of the strains studied in this work did not seem to be correlated to the different dairies of origin. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The method appears to be an efficient taxonomic tool. It has the advantage of easy gel interpretation over fingerprinting of whole-cell protein extracts, and may be used as an alternative to established PCR-based techniques which, though rapid and safe, require expensive instruments and reagents.

Two-Dimensional Electrophoresis Study of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus Thermotolerance

The response of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus cells to heat stress was studied by use of a chemically defined medium. Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) analysis was used to correlate the kinetics of heat shock protein (HSP) induction with cell recovery from heat injury. We demonstrated that enhanced viability, observed after 10 min at 65°C, resulted from the overexpression of HSP and from mechanisms not linked to protein synthesis. In order to analyze the thermoadaptation mechanisms involved, thermoresistant variants were selected. These variants showed enhanced constitutive tolerance toward heat shock. However, contrary to the wild-type strain, these variants were poorly protected after osmotic or heat pretreatments. This result suggests that above a certain threshold, cells reach a maximum level of protection that cannot be easily exceeded. A comparison of protein patterns showed that the variants were able to induce more rapidly their adaptive mechanisms than the original strain. In particular, the variants were able to express constitutively more HSP, leading to the higher level of thermoprotection observed. This is the first report of the study by 2-DE of the heat stress response in L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus.     

Utilization of Molasses Sugar for Lactic Acid Production by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii Mutant Uc-3 in Batch Fermentation

Efficient lactic acid production from cane sugar molasses by Lactobacillus delbrueckii mutant Uc-3 in batch fermentation process is demonstrated. Lactic acid fermentation using molasses was not significantly affected by yeast extract concentrations. The final lactic acid concentration increased with increases of molasses sugar concentrations up to 190 g/liter. The maximum lactic acid concentration of 166 g/liter was obtained at a molasses sugar concentration of 190 g/liter with a productivity of 4.15 g/liter/h. Such a high concentration of lactic acid with high productivity from molasses has not been reported previously, and hence mutant Uc-3 could be a potential candidate for economical production of lactic acid from molasses at a commercial scale.     

Co-culturing of Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei with a Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii Mutant to Make High Cell Density for Increased Lactate Productivity from Cassava Bagasse Hydrolysate

To increase the productivity of lactic acid, a co-culture of lactobacilli was made by mixing 1:1 ratio of Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei and a fast growing L. delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii mutant. The culture was embedded on to polyurethane foam (PUF) cubes as a biofilm and used for fermentation. In order to prevent the cell leakage, the PUF cubes were further entrapped in calcium cross-linked alginate. The maximum lactic acid production using a high cell density free culture was >38 g l(-1) from ~40 g l(-1) of reducing sugar within 12 h of fermentation. Using PUF biofilms, the same yield of lactic acid attained after 24 h. When the cubes were further coated with alginate it took 36 h for the maximum yield. Even though, the productivity is slightly lesser with the alginate coating, cell leakage was decreased and cubes were reused without much decrease in production in repeated batches. Using a conventional control inoculum (3%, w/v), it took 120 h to yield same amount of lactic acid.     

Lacticin, a bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis

Twenty-one strains of Lactobacillus delbrueckii and L. helveticus were tested for bacteriocin production against each other. Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis JCM 1106 and 1107 produced an inhibitory agent active against L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus JCM 1002 and NIAI yB-62, L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis JCM 1248 and L. delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii JCM 1012. Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis JCM 1248 inhibited only the growth of L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus NIAI yB-62. These agents were sensitive to proteolytic enzymes and heating (at 60°C for 10min). These agents were considered to be bacteriocins and designated lacticin A and B.     

Galacto-oligosaccharides as protective molecules in the preservation of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus

In this work, the protective capacity of galacto-oligosaccharides in the preservation of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus CIDCA 333 was evaluated.Lactobacillus bulgaricus was freeze-dried or dried over silica gel in the presence of three commercial products containing galacto-oligosaccharides. The freeze-dried samples were stored at 5 and 25 °C for different periods of time. After desiccation, freeze-drying or storage, samples were rehydrated and bacterial plate counts were determined.According to the results obtained, all galacto-oligosaccharides assays demonstrated to be highly efficient in the preservation of L. bulgaricus. The higher content of galacto-oligosaccharides in the commercial products was correlated with their higher protective capacity.Galacto-oligosaccharides are widely known by their prebiotic properties. However, their role as protective molecules have not been reported nor properly explored up to now. In this work the protective capacity of galacto-oligosaccharides in the preservation of L. bulgaricus, a strain particularly sensitive to any preservation process, was demonstrated.The novel role of galacto-oligosaccharides as protective molecules opens up several perspectives in regard to their applications. The supplementation of probiotics with galacto-oligosaccharides allows the production of self-protected synbiotic products, galacto-oligosaccharides exerting both a prebiotic and protecting effect.     

Use of PCR-Based Methods for Rapid Differentiation of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis

Two PCR-based methods, specific PCR and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA PCR (RAPD-PCR), were used for rapid and reliable differentiation of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis. PCR with a single combination of primers which targeted the proline iminopeptidase (pepIP) gene of L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus allowed amplification of genomic fragments specific for the two subspecies when either DNA from a single colony or cells extracted from dairy products were used. A numerical analysis of the RAPD-PCR patterns obtained with primer M13 gave results that were consistent with the results of specific PCR for all strains except L. delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii LMG 6412^T, which clustered with L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis strains. In addition, RAPD-PCR performed with primer 1254 provided highly polymorphic profiles and thus was superior for distinguishing individual L. delbrueckii strains.
