Pseudomonas putida KT2440 grew on glucose at a specific rate of 0.48 h−1 but accumulated almost no poly-3-hydroxyalkanoates (PHA). Subsequent nitrogen limitation on nonanoic acid resulted in the
accumulation of only 27% medium-chain-length PHA (MCL-PHA). In contrast, exponential nonanoic acid-limited growth (μ = 0.15 h−1) produced 70 g l−1 biomass containing 75% PHA. At a higher exponential feed rate (μ = 0.25 h−1), the overall productivity was increased but less biomass (56 g l−1) was produced due to higher oxygen demand, and the biomass contained less PHA (67%). It was concluded that carbon-limited
exponential feeding of nonanoic acid or related substrates to cultures of P. putida KT2440 is a simple and highly effective method of producing MCL-PHA. Nitrogen limitation is unnecessary. 相似文献

Medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (MCL-PHAs) were produced in carbon-limited, single-stage, fed-batch fermentations of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 by co-feeding nonanoic acid (NA) and glucose (G) to enhance the yield of PHA from NA. An exponential (μ = 0.25 h−1) followed by a linear feeding strategy at a NA:G ratio of 1:1 (w/w) achieved 71 g l−1 biomass containing 56% PHA. Although the same overall PHA productivity (1.44 g l−1 h−1) was obtained when NA alone was fed at the same specific growth rate, the overall yield of PHA from NA increased by 25% (0.66 g PHA g NA−1 versus 0.53 g g−1) with glucose co-feeding. Further increasing glucose in the feed (NA:G = 1:1.5) resulted in a slightly higher yield (0.69 g PHA g NA−1) but lower PHA content (48%) and productivity (1.16 g l−1 h−1). There was very little change in the PHA composition. 相似文献

Poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) constitute biodegradable polyesters and are considered among the most promising candidates
to replace common petrochemical plastics in various applications. To date, all commercial processes for PHA production employ
microbial discontinuous fed-batch fermentations. These processes feature drawbacks such as varying product quality and the
inevitable periods of downtime for preparation and post-treatment of the bioreactor equipment. An unprecedented approach to
PHA production was chosen in the presented work using a multistage system consisting of five continuous stirred tank reactors
in series (5-SCR), which can be considered as a process engineering substitute of a continuous tubular plug flow reactor.
The first stage of the reactor cascade is the site of balanced bacterial growth; thereafter, the fermentation broth is continuously
fed from the first into the subsequent reactors, where PHA accumulation takes place under nitrogen-limiting conditions. Cupriavidus necator was used as production strain. The focus of the experimental work was devoted to the development of a PHA production process
characterized by high productivity and high intracellular polymer content. The results of the experimental work with the reactor
cascade demonstrated its potential in terms of volumetric and specific productivity (1.85 g L−1 h−1 and 0.100 g g−1 h−1, respectively), polymer content (77%, w/w) and polymer properties (M
w = 665 kg/mol, PDI = 2.6). Thus, implementing the technology for 5-SCR production of PHB results in an economically viable
process. The study compares the outcome of the work with literature data from continuous two-stage PHA production and industrial
PHA production in fed-batch mode. 相似文献

Malaysia is the world’s leading producer of palm oil products that contribute US$ 7.5 billion in export revenues. Like any
other agro-based industries, it generates waste that could be utilized as a source of organic nutrients for microalgae culture.
Present investigation delves upon Isochrysis sp. culture in POME modified medium and its utilization as a supplement to Nanochloropsis sp. in rotifer cultures. The culture conditions were optimized using a 1 L photobioreactor (Temp: 23°C, illumination: 180 ∼ 200 μmol
photons m−2s−1, n = 6) and scaled up to 10 L outdoor system (Temp: 26–29°C, illumination: 50 ∼ 180 μmol photons m−2s−1, n = 3). Algal growth rate in photobioreactor (μ = 0.0363 h−1) was 55% higher compared to outdoor culture (μ = 0.0163 h−1), but biomass production was 1.3 times higher in outdoor culture (Outdoor = 91.7 mg m−2d−1; Photobioreactor = 69 mg m−2d−1). Outdoor culture produced 18% higher lipid; while total fatty acids (FA) was not significantly affected by the change in
culture systems as both cultures yield almost similar concentrations of fatty acids per gram of sample (photobioreactor = 119.17 mg
g−1; outdoor culture = 104.50 mg g−1); however, outdoor cultured Isochrysis sp. had 26% more polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Rotifers cultured in Isochrysis sp./ Nanochloropsis sp. (1:1, v/v) mixture gave similar growth rate as 100% Nanochoropsis sp. culture (μ = 0.40 d−1), but had 45% higher counts of rotifers with eggs (t = 7, maximum). The Isochrysis sp. culture successfully lowered the nitrate (46%) and orthophosphate (83%) during outdoor culture. 相似文献

Bifidobacterium longum grew at 65 L pilot scale of the membrane bioreactor (MBR), externally fitted with ceramic membrane (0.7 m2). Cell mass at the MBR reached 22.18 g L−1 as dry cell weight in 12 h, which is 8.44 times higher than cell mass attained at the vial culture. The growth rate in the
vial culture was μ = 0.385 h− and at the batch culture was μ = 1.13 h− in the exponential period and μ = 0.31 h−1 in the stationary period. In the fed-batch mode was μ = 1.102 h−1 for 6 h with inoculation and declined to μ = 0.456 h−1 with feeding of feed medium. The growth rate at the MBR was μ = 0.134 h−1. The number of viable cells was 6.01 × 1012 cfu L−1 at the batch culture, but increased to 1.15 × 1014 cfu L−1 at the MBR culture. The specific growth rate of viable cell number (colony-forming units per liter, per hour) improved by
6.01 times from the batch to the MBR culture. The wall shear stress mainly generated by the pump, and the membrane incorporated
into the MBR was controlled during the cultivation at the MBR. The viability of B. longum declined to under 10% in the first 2 weeks of the 4-week stability test (40°C) as B. longum was exposed to over wall shear stress 713 Pa, but the viability improved to 30–40% in wall shear stress of 260 Pa or STR
culture. The loss in the cell viability can be saved by managing with wall shear stress during the cultivation at the MBR. 相似文献

Poly-(3-hydroxybutyrate) production from whey by high-density cultivation of recombinant Escherichia coli 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Recombinant Escherichia coli strain GCSC 6576, harboring a high-copy-number plasmid containing the Ralstonia eutropha genes for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthesis and the E. coli ftsZ gene, was employed to produce poly-(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) from whey. pH-stat fed-batch fermentation, using whey powder
as the nutrient feed, produced cellular dry weight and PHB concentrations of 109 g l−1 and 50 g l−1 respectively in 47 h. When concentrated whey solution containing 210 g l−1 lactose was used as the nutrient feed, cellular dry weight and PHB concentrations of 87 g l−1 and 69 g l−1 respectively could be obtained in 49 h by pH-stat fed-batch culture. The PHB content was as high as 80% of the cellular dry
weight. These results suggest that cost-effective production of PHB is possible by fed-batch culture of recombinant E. coli using concentrated whey solution as a substrate.

A fermentation process in Escherichia coli for production of supercoiled plasmid DNA for use as a DNA vaccine was developed using an automated feed-back control nutrient
feeding strategy based on dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH. The process was further automated through a computer-aided data
processing system to regulate the cell growth rate by controlling interactively both the nutrient feed rate and agitation
speed based on DO. The process increased the total yield of the plasmid DNA by approximately 10-fold as compared to a manual
fed-batch culture. The final cell yield from the automated process reached 60 g L−1 of dry cell weight (OD600 = 120) within 24 h. A plasmid DNA yield of 100 mg L−1 (1.7 mg g−1 cell weight) was achieved by using an alkaline cell lysis method. Plasmid yield was confirmed using High Performance Liquid
Chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Because cells had been grown under carbon-limiting conditions in the automated process,
acetic acid production was minimal (below 0.01 g L−1) throughout the fed-batch stage. In contrast, in the manual process, an acid accumulation rate as high as 0.36 g L−1 was observed, presumably due to the high nutrient feed rates used to maintain a maximum growth rate. The manual fed-batch
process produced a low cell density averaging 10–12 g L−1 (OD600 = 25–30) and plasmid yields of 5–8 mg L−1 (approximately 0.7 mg g−1 cells). The improved plasmid DNA yields in the DO- and pH-based feed-back controlled process were assumed to be a result
of a combination of increased cell density, reduced growth rate (μ) from 0.69 h−1 to 0.13 h−1 and the carbon/nitrogen limitation in the fed-batch stage. The DO- and pH-based feed-back control, fed-batch process has
proven itself to be advantageous in regulating cell growth rate to achieve both high cell density and plasmid yield without
having to use pure oxygen. The process was reproducible in triplicate fermentations at both 7-L and 80-L scales.

The recombinant Pichia pastoris harboring an improved methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) shuffled gene was employed to biosynthesize S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM). Two l-methionine (l-Met) addition strategies were used to supply the precursor: the batch addition strategy (l-Met was added separately at three time points) and the continuous feeding strategies (l-Met was fed continuously at the rate of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5 g l−1 h−1, respectively). SAM accumulation, l-Met conversion rate, and SAM productivity with the continuous feeding strategies were all improved over the batch addition
strategy, which reached 8.46 ± 0.31 g l−1, 41.7 ± 1.4%, and 0.18 ± 0.01 g l−1 h−1 with the best continuous feeding strategy (0.2 g l−1 h−1), respectively. The bottleneck for SAM production with the low l-Met feeding rate (0.1 g L−1 h−1) was the insufficient l-Met supply. The analysis of the key enzyme activities indicated that the tricarboxylic acid cycle and glycolytic pathway
were reduced with the increasing l-Met feeding rate, which decreased the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis. The MAT activity also decreased as the l-Met feeding rate rose. The reduced ATP synthesis and MAT activity were probably the reason for the low SAM accumulation when
the l-Met feeding rate reached 0.5 g l−1 h−1. 相似文献

Corynebacterium acetoacidophilum RYU3161 was cultivated in al-histidine-limited fed-batch culture. To investigate the effect of cell growth on thel-proline production, 5l fed-batch culture was performed using an exponential feeding rate to obtain the specific growth rates (μ) of 0.04, 0.06,
0.08, and 0.1 h−1. The results show that the highest production ofl-proline was obtained at μ=0.04 h−1. The specificl-proline production rate (Qp) increased proportionally as a function of the specific growth rate, but decreased after it revealed the maximum value at
μ=0.08 h−1. Thus, the highest productivity ofl-proline was 1.66 g L−1 h−1 at μ=0.08 h−1. The results show that the production of L-proline inC. acetoacidophilum RYU3161 has mixed growth-associated characteristics. 相似文献

The long-term performance and stability of Pseudomonas putida mt-2 cultures, a toluene-sensitive strain harboring the genes responsible for toluene biodegradation in the archetypal plasmid
pWW0, was investigated in a chemostat bioreactor functioning under real case operating conditions. The process was operated
at a dilution rate of 0.1 h−1 under toluene loading rates of 259 ± 23 and 801 ± 78 g m−3 h−1 (inlet toluene concentrations of 3.5 and 10.9 g m−3, respectively). Despite the deleterious effects of toluene and its degradation intermediates, the phenotype of this sensitive
P. putida culture rapidly recovered from a 95% Tol− population at day 4 to approx. 100% Tol+ cells from day 13 onward, sustaining elimination capacities of 232 ± 10 g m−3 h−1 at 3.5 g Tol m−3 and 377 ± 13 g m−3 h−1 at 10.9 g Tol m−3, which were comparable to those achieved by highly tolerant strains such as P. putida DOT T1E and P. putida F1 under identical experimental conditions. Only one type of Tol− variant, harboring a TOL-like plasmid with a 38.5 kb deletion (containing the upper and meta operons for toluene biodegradation), was identified. 相似文献

Waste rapeseed oil is a useful substrate for polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) production employing Cupriavidus necator H16. In fed-batch mode, we obtained biomass and PHA yields of 138 and 105 g l−1, respectively. Yield coefficient and volumetric productivity were 0.83 g PHA per g oil and 1.46 g l−1 h−1, respectively. Propanol at 1% (v/v) enhanced both PHA and biomass formation significantly and, furthermore, resulted in incorporation
of 3-hydroxyvalerate units into PHA structure. Thus, propanol can be used as an effective precursor of 3-hydroxyvalarete for
production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) copolymer. During the fed-batch cultivation, propanol concentration was maintained at 1% which resulted
in 8% content of 3-hydroxyvalerate in copolymer. 相似文献

Production of 1,3-Propanediol by Clostridium butyricum VPI 3266 in continuous cultures with high yield and productivity 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The effects of dilution rate and substrate feed concentration on continuous glycerol fermentation by Clostridium butyricum VPI 3266, a natural 1,3-propanediol producer, were evaluated in this work. A high and constant 1,3-propanediol yield (around
0.65 mol/mol), close to the theoretical value, was obtained irrespective of substrate feed concentration or dilution rate.
Improvement of 1,3-propanediol volumetric productivity was achieved by increasing the dilution rate, at a fixed feed substrate
concentration of 30, 60 or 70 g l−1. Higher 1,3-propanediol final concentrations and volumetric productivities were also obtained when glycerol feed concentration
was increased from 30 to 60 g l−1, at D=0.05–0.3 h−1, and from 60–70 g l−1, at D=0.05 and 0.1 h−1·30 g l−1 of 1,3-propanediol and the highest reported value of productivity, 10.3 g l−1 h−1, was achieved at D=0.30 h−1 and 60 g l−1 of feed glycerol. A switch to an acetate/butyrate ratio higher than one was observed for 60 g l−1 of feed glycerol and a dilution rate higher than 0.10 h−1; moreover, at D=0.30 h−1 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde accumulation was observed for the first time in the fermentation broth of C. butyricum. 相似文献

Recombinant Cupriavidus necator H 16 with a novel metabolic pathway using a cobalamin-dependent mutase was exploited to produce 2-hydroxyisobutyric acid
(2-HIBA) from renewable resources through microbial fermentation. 2-HIBA production capacities of different strains of C. necator H 16 deficient in the PHB synthase gene and genetically engineered to enable the production of 2-HIBA from the intracellular
PHB precursor (R)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA were evaluated in 48 parallel milliliter-scale stirred tank bioreactors (V = 11 mL). The effects of media composition, limitations, pH, and feed rate were studied with respect to the overall process
performances of the different recombinant strains. 2-HIBA production was at a maximum at nitrogen limiting conditions and
if the pH was controlled between 6.8 and 7.2 under fed-batch operating conditions (intermittent fructose addition). The final
concentration of 2-HIBA was 7.4 g L−1 on a milliliter scale. Best reaction conditions identified on the milliliter scale were transferred to a laboratory-scale
fed-batch process in a stirred tank bioreactor (V = 2 L). Two different process modes for the production of 2-HIBA, a single-phase and a dual-phase fermentation procedure,
were evaluated and compared on a liter scale. The final concentration of 2-HIBA was 6.4 g L−1 on a liter scale after 2 days of cultivation. 相似文献

Maltose and sucrose were efficient carbon sources for the production of curdlan by a strain of Agrobacterium sp. A two-step, fed-batch operation was designed in which biomass was first produced, followed by curdlan production which
was stimulated by nitrogen limitation. There exists an optimal timing for nitrogen limitation for curdlan production in the
two-step, fed-batch operation. Maximum curdlan production (60 g L−1) was obtained from sucrose with a productivity of 0.2 g L−1 h−1 when nitrogen was limited at a cell concentration of 16.0 g L−1. It was also noted that the curdlan yield from sucrose was as high as 0.45 g curdlan g−1 sucrose, and the highest specific production rate was 1.0 g curdlan g−1 cells h−1 right after nitrogen limitation. Of particular importance was the use of molasses as a cheap carbon source to produce curdlan
in the two-step, fed-batch cultivation. As high as 42 g L−1 of curdlan with a yield of 0.35 g curdlan g−1 total sugar was obtained after 120 h of fed-batch cultivation.

Excretion of 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD) by K. pneumoniae was compared in ammonium- and phosphate-limited chemostat cultures running with an excess of glycerol. 59 and 43% catabolic
flux were directed to 1,3-PD in ammonia-limited cultures and phosphate-limited cultures at dilution rate of 0.1 h−1, respectively. Ammonia-limited fed-batch cultures produced 61 g 1,3-PD l−1 and a total of 15 g l−1 organic acid in 36 h. However, phosphate-limited fed-batch cultures excreted 61 g lactate l−1 and 44 g 1,3-PD l−1. 相似文献

Continuous production of acetone, n-butanol, and ethanol (ABE) was carried out using immobilized cells of Clostridium acetobutylicum DSM 792 using glucose and sugar mixture as a substrate. Among various lignocellulosic materials screened as a support matrix,
coconut fibers and wood pulp fibers were found to be promising in batch experiments. With a motive of promoting wood-based
bio-refinery concept, wood pulp was used as a cell holding material. Glucose and sugar mixture (glucose, mannose, galactose,
arabinose, and xylose) comparable to lignocellulose hydrolysate was used as a substrate for continuous production of ABE.
We report the best solvent productivity among wild-type strains using column reactor. The maximum total solvent concentration
of 14.32 g L−1 was obtained at a dilution rate of 0.22 h−1 with glucose as a substrate compared to 12.64 g L−1 at 0.5 h−1 dilution rate with sugar mixture. The maximum solvent productivity (13.66 g L−1 h−1) was obtained at a dilution rate of 1.9 h−1 with glucose as a substrate whereas solvent productivity (12.14 g L−1 h−1) was obtained at a dilution rate of 1.5 h−1 with sugar mixture. The immobilized column reactor with wood pulp can become an efficient technology to be integrated with
existing pulp mills to convert them into wood-based bio-refineries. 相似文献

Environmental copper contamination is a serious human health problem. Copper reductase is produced by microorganisms to facilitate
copper uptake by ATPases into the cells increasing copper biosorption. This study assessed the reduction of Cu(II) by cell-free
extracts of a highly copper-resistant bacterium, Pseudomonas sp. strain NA, isolated from vineyard soil contaminated with copper. Both intact cells and cell-free extract of Pseudomonas sp. strain NA displayed substantial reduction of Cu(II). Intact cells reduced more then 80 mg L−1 of Cu(II) from medium amended with 200 mg L−1 of copper after 24 h of incubation. Cell-free extract of the isolate reduced more than 65% of the Cu(II) at initial copper
concentration of 200 mg L−1 after 24 h. Soluble protein production was high at 72 h of incubation at 100 mg L−1 of copper, with more then 60 μg L−1 of total soluble protein in cell-free extract recorded. Cu(II) reduction by isolate NA was increased when copper concentration
increased for both intact cells and cell-free extract. Results indicate that Pseudomonas sp. strain NA produces copper reductase enzyme as the key mechanism of copper biotransformation. 相似文献

1,3-Propanediol (1,3-PD) can be produced from glycerol by Klebsiella pneumoniae under micro-aerobic conditions. Recently, this fed-batch fermentation process has been successfully scaled up to 1 m3. The final 1,3-PD concentration, molar yield and volumetric productivity of 72 g l−1, 57% and 2.1 g l−1 h−1, respectively, are close to those of 75 g l−1, 61%, and 2.2 g l−1 h−1 under anaerobic conditions. This process would be suitable for the production of 1,3-PD on a large scale. 相似文献

Kinetics of styrene biodegradation by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pseudomonas</Emphasis> sp. E-93486 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The research into kinetics of styrene biodegradation by bacterial strain Pseudomonas sp. E-93486 coming from VTT Culture Collection (Finland) was presented in this work. Microbial growth tests in the presence
of styrene as the sole carbon and energy source were performed both in batch and continuous cultures. Batch experiments were
conducted for initial concentration of styrene in the liquid phase changed in the range of 5–90 g m−3. The Haldane model was found to be the best to fit the kinetic data, and the estimated constants of the equation were: μ
m = 0.1188 h−1, K
S = 5.984 mg l−1, and K
i = 156.6 mg l−1. The yield coefficient mean value
Y\textxs\textapp Y_{\text{xs}}^{\text{app}} for the batch culture was 0.72 gdry cells weight (gsubstrate)−1. The experiments conducted in a chemostat at various dilution rates (D = 0.035–0.1 h−1) made it possible to determine the value of the coefficient for maintenance metabolism m
d = 0.0165 h−1 and the maximum yield coefficient value
Y\textxs\textM = 0.913 Y_{\text{xs}}^{\text{M}} = 0.913 . Chemostat experiments confirmed the high value of yield coefficient
Y\textxs\textapp Y_{\text{xs}}^{\text{app}} observed in the batch culture. The conducted experiments showed high activity of the examined strain in the styrene biodegradation
process and a relatively low sensitivity to inhibition of its growth at higher concentrations of styrene in the solution.
Such exceptional features of Pseudomonas sp. E-93486 make this bacterial strain the perfect candidate for technical applications. 相似文献

Quasi steady state growth of Lactococcus
lactis IL 1403 was studied in glucose-limited A-stat cultivation experiments with acceleration rates (a) from 0.003 to 0.06 h−2 after initial stabilization of the cultures in chemostat at D = 0.2–0.3 h−1. It was shown that the high limit of quasi steady state growth rate depended on the acceleration rate used—at an acceleration
rate 0.003 h−2 the quasi steady state growth was observed until μ
crit = 0.59 h−1, which is also the μ
max value for the culture. Lower values of μ
crit were observed at higher acceleration rates. The steady state growth of bacteria stabilized at dilution rate 0.2 h−1 was immediately disrupted after initiating acceleration at the highest acceleration rate studied—0.06 h−2. Observation was made that differences [Δ(μ − D)] of the specific growth rates from pre-programmed dilution rates were the lowest using an acceleration rate of 0.003 h−2 (< 4% of preset changing growth rate). The adaptability of cells to follow preprogrammed growth rate was found to decrease
with increasing dilution rate—it was shown that lower acceleration rates should be applied at higher growth rates to maintain
the culture in the quasi steady state. The critical specific growth rate and the biomass yields based on glucose consumption
were higher if the medium contained S
0 = 5 g L−1 glucose instead of S
0 = 10 g L−1. It was assumed that this was due to the inhibitory effect of lactate accumulating at higher concentrations in the latter
cultures. Parallel A-stat experiments at the same acceleration and dilution rates showed good reproducibility—Δ(μ − D) was less than 5%, standard deviations of biomass yields per ATP produced (Y
ATP), and biomass yields per glucose consumed (Y
XS) were less than 15%. 相似文献
