The growth of meat-spoiling Pseudomonas fragi 72 was studied on a defined salt medium supplemented with L-aspartate, citrate, creatine, creatinine, D-glucose, L-glutamate, and L-lactate. The utilization of the different carbon sources was followed in batch and continuous culture and under the influence of oxygen limitation and carbon dioxide inhibition (50% CO2 in air). Under nonrestricted atmospheric conditions in batch culture, the organism showed a preference in the utilization of the carbon sources in the order glucose greater than lactate greater than citrate greater than aspartate-glutamate greater than creatine greater than creatinine. The first five sources were utilized simultaneously. The order of preference was changed in continuous culture to lactate-citrate-glutamate-aspartate greater than glucose greater than creatine greater than creatinine. All carbon sources were utilized at lower dilution rates, but as the rate was increased the concentration of the carbon sources started to increase in the effluent and the preference could be seen. Under conditions of oxygen limitation the preference for glucose was weakened, but for lactate it was slightly enhanced (batch and continuous culture). Under conditions of CO2 inhibition, the preference for glucose was enhanced. However, lactate and amino acids were still preferred to glucose in the continuous culture. The utilization of creatine and creatinine was blocked by CO2 in batch culture, and only a slight utilization of creatine was noticed in a chemostat at lower dilution rates. 相似文献

The growth of Pseudomonas putida ATCC 11172 on L-asparagine, citrate, D-glucose, and L-lactate was followed in air and in 40% CO2 + air, using batch and carbon-limited continuous cultures. Batch cultures in air utilized a mixture of the carbon sources simultaneously. However, a change to 40% CO2 favoured the utilization of glucose. The maximum specific growth rate (mumax) in air was about 0.3 h-1 on glucose and 0.6 h-1 on the other carbon sources. In CO2, the mumax for glucose was reduced by 16% compared with almost 60-70% for the others. An order of preference for the different carbon sources in continuous cultures was determined by comparing the dilution rates at which the different carbon sources started to appear in the effluent. Glucose was the first compound to appear as the dilution rate increased (lowest preference when grown in air). In 40% CO2, the mumax for glucose was slightly higher than the others and the recorded preference for glucose in continuous culture was equal to that for citrate but was somewhat lower than that of lactate and asparagine. D-Gluconate and glucono-delta-lactone were produced as a step in the utilization of glucose. The D-gluconate production was enhanced by CO2. 相似文献

Clostridium thermocellum is an anaerobic thermophilic bacterium that produces enthanol from cellulosic substrates. When the organism was grown in continuous culture at dilution rates ranging from 0.04 to 0.25 h-1, growth yields on cellobiose were higher than on glucose, and even higher yields were observed on cellotetraose. However, differences in bacterial yield were much greater at slow growth rates, and it appeared that glucose-grown cells had a fourfold higher (0.41 g substrate/g protein/h) maintenance energy requirement than cellobiose-grown cultures. Cellobiose and glucose were co-utilized in dual substrate continuous culture, and this was in contrast to batch culture experiments which indicated that the organism preferred the disaccharide. These experiments demonstrate that carbohydrate utilization patterns in continuous culture are different from those in batch culture and that submaximal growth rates affect substrate preference and bioenergetic parameters. The mechanisms regulating carbohydrate use may be different in batch versus continuous culture.Published with the approval of the Director of the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station as journal article no. 95-07-064. 相似文献

The yield from glucose of ammonia-grown carbon-limited continuous cultures of Penicillium stipitatum was ca. 20% higher than that of nitrate-grown cultures at all growth rates examined. However, the yield from oxygen was similar during growth on both nitrogen sources. Under phosphate limitation the specific rate of gluconic acid and stipitatic acid production increased with growth rate, but the former product accounted for virtually 100% of the excreted carbon. Stipitatic acid was not produced under nitrogen limitation, and glucose supplied to the culture in excess of that required for growth was virtually quantatively converted into gluconic acid. Productivities of 11.4 g gluconic acid/L/h were stably maintained in continuous culture. Under conditions of glucose excess the enzyme glucose oxidase was excreted into the culture. The specific activity of this extracellular enzyme increased when the input glucose concentration to the culture was progressively increased. The excretion of a protein under nitrogen limitation suggests that this enzyme plays an important role under these conditions. Indeed, it was demonstrated that nitrogen-limited cultures did not overmetabolize gluconate at either pH 6.5 or 3.5, although up to 29 g/L gluconate was present in the culture. The Y(gluconate) and YO(2) of C- and N-limited gluconate-grown cultures were similar indicating that the rapid conversion of glucose to gluconate probably affords a means of regulating carbon flow in this organism. Nitrogen-limited cultures of P. stipitatum overmetabolized glucose to a much greater extent than acetate, fructose, or gluconate. 相似文献

Citrate Fermentation by Lactococcus and Leuconostoc spp 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Citrate and lactose fermentation are subject to the same metabolic regulation. In both processes, pyruvate is the key intermediate. Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis homofermentatively converted pyruvate to lactate at high dilution (growth) rates, low pH, and high lactose concentrations. Mixed-acid fermentation with formate, ethanol, and acetate as products was observed under conditions of lactose limitation in continuous culture at pH values above 6.0. An acetoin/butanediol fermentation with alpha-acetolactate as an intermediate was found upon mild aeration in continuous culture and under conditions of excess pyruvate production from citrate. Leuconostoc spp. showed a limited metabolic flexibility. A typical heterofermentative conversion of lactose was observed under all conditions in both continuous and batch cultures. The pyruvate produced from either lactose or citrate was converted to d-lactate. Citrate utilization was pH dependent in both L. lactis and Leuconostoc spp., with maximum rates observed between pH 5.5 and 6.0. The maximum specific growth rate was slightly stimulated by citrate, in L. lactis and greatly stimulated by citrate in Leuconostoc spp., and the conversion of citrate resulted in increased growth yields on lactose for both L. lactis and Leuconostoc spp. This indicates that energy is conserved during the metabolism of citrate. 相似文献

The effect of pH, growth rate, phosphate and iron limitation, carbon monoxide, and carbon source on product formation by Clostridium pasteurianum was determined. Under phosphate limitation, glucose was fermented almost exclusively to acetate and butyrate independently of the pH and growth rate. Iron limitation caused lactate production (38 mol/100 mol) from glucose in batch and continuous culture. At 15% (vol/vol) carbon monoxide in the atmosphere, glucose was fermented to ethanol (24 mol/100 mol), lactate (32 mol/100 mol), and butanol (36 mol/100 mol) in addition to the usual products, acetate (38 mol/100 mol) and butyrate (17 mol/100 mol). During glycerol fermentation, a completely different product pattern was found. In continuous culture under phosphate limitation, acetate and butyrate were produced only in trace amounts, whereas ethanol (30 mol/100 mol), butanol (18 mol/100 mol), and 1,3-propanediol (18 mol/100 mol) were the major products. Under iron limitation, the ratio of these products could be changed in favor of 1,3-propanediol (34 mol/100 mol). In addition, lactate was produced in significant amounts (25 mol/100 mol). The tolerance of C. pasteurianum to glycerol was remarkably high; growth was not inhibited by glycerol concentrations up to 17% (wt/vol). Increasing glycerol concentrations favored the production of 1,3-propanediol. 相似文献

When E. coli ML 30 is grown in batch culture on a mineral salt medium containing a mixed carbon source of glucose and pyruvate, there is no sequential utilization of the carbon sources. The consumption of glucose and pyruvate takes place simultaneously with reciprocal influence (inhibition) on rates of substrate uptake. The specific growth rate is greater than mupmax for pyruvate but smaller than musmax for glucose. In the paper three cases of kinetics of growth and of substrate consumption at several combinations of initial substrate concentrations are considered. A mathematical model is proposed and investigated. The model allows to describe the growth on glucose or on pyruvate not only as singular carbon sources, but also as a mixed carbon source with reciprocal inhibition on rates of substrate uptake. By data fitting parameters of growth and substrate consumption were found. 相似文献

Pyruvate flux distribution in NADH-oxidase-overproducing Lactococcus lactis strain as a function of culture conditions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The influence of growth conditions on product formation from glucose by Lactococcus lactis strain NZ9800 engineered for NADH-oxidase overproduction was examined. In aerobic batch cultures, a large production of acetoin and diacetyl was found at acidic pH under pH-unregulated conditions. However, pyruvate flux was mainly driven towards lactate production when these cells were grown under strictly pH-controlled conditions. A decreased NADH-oxidase overproduction accompanied the homolactic fermentation, suggesting that the cellular energy was used with preference to maintain cellular homeostasis rather than for NADH-oxidase overproduction. The end product formation and NADH-oxidase activity were also studied in cells grown in aerobic continuous cultures under acidic conditions. A homoacetic type of fermentation as well as a low NADH-oxidase overproduction were observed at low dilution rates. NADH-oxidase was efficiently overproduced as the dilution rate was increased and consequently metabolic flux through lactate dehydrogenase drastically decreased. Under these conditions the flux limitation via pyruvate dehydrogenase was relieved and this enzymatic complex accommodated most of the pyruvate flux. Pyruvate was also significantly converted to acetoin and diacetyl via alpha-acetolactate synthase. At higher dilution rates, acetate production declined and the cultures turned to mixed-acid fermentation. These results suggest that the need to maintain the cellular homeostasis influenced NADH-oxidase overproduction and consequently the end product formation from glucose in these engineered strains. 相似文献

Growth, substrate consumption, metabolite formation, biomass composition and respiratory parameters of Kluyveromyces marxianus ATCC 26548 were determined during aerobic batch and chemostat cultivations, using mineral medium with glucose as the sole carbon source, at 30 degrees C and pH 5.0. Carbon balances closed within 95-101% in all experiments. A maximum specific growth rate of 0.56 h(-1), a biomass yield on glucose of 0.51 g g(-1), and a maximum specific consumption of oxygen of 11.1 mmol g(-1) h(-1) were obtained during batch cultures. The concentration of excreted metabolites was very low at the culture conditions applied, representing 6% of the consumed carbon at most. Acetate and pyruvate were excreted to a larger extent than ethanol under the batch conditions, and the protein content accounted for 54.6% of the biomass dry weight. Steady states were obtained during chemostats at dilution rates of 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5 h(-1). At the two former dilution rates, cells grew at carbon limitation and the biomass yield on glucose was similar to that obtained under the batch conditions. Metabolite formation was rather low, accounting for a total of 0.005 C-mol C-mol(-1) substrate. At 0.5 h(-1), although the biomass yield on glucose was similar to the value obtained under the above-mentioned conditions, the cultivation was not under carbon limitation. Under this condition, 2-oxoglutarate, acetate, pyruvate and ethanol were the prevalent metabolites excreted. Total metabolite formation only accounted to 0.056 C-mol C-mol(-1) of substrate. A very high protein and a low carbohydrate content (71.9% and 9.6% of biomass dry weight, respectively) were measured in cells under this condition. It is concluded that K. marxianus aligns with the so-called aerobic-respiring or Crabtree-negative yeasts. Furthermore, it has one of the highest growth rates among yeasts, and a high capacity of converting sugar into biomass, even when carbon is not the limiting nutrient. These results provide useful data regarding the future application of K. marxianus in processes aimed at the production of biomass-linked compounds, with high yields and productivities. 相似文献

The microbial production of free fatty acids (FFAs) and reduced derivatives is an attractive process for the renewable production of diesel fuels. Toward this goal, a plasmid-free strain of Escherichia coli was engineered to produce FFAs by integrating three copies of a thioesterase gene from Umbellularia californica (BTE) under the control of an inducible promoter onto the chromosome. In batch culture, the resulting strain produced identical titers to a previously reported strain that expressed the thioesterase from a plasmid. The growth rate, glucose consumption rate, and FFA production rate of this strain were studied in continuous cultivation under carbon limitation. The highest yield of FFA on glucose was observed at a dilution rate of 0.05 h(-1) with the highest specific productivity observed at a dilution rate of 0.2 h(-1). The observed yields under the lowest dilution rate were 15% higher than that observed in batch cultures. An increase in both productivity and yield (≈ 40%) was observed when the composition of the nutrients was altered to shift the culture toward non-carbon limitation. A deterministic model of the production strain has been proposed and indicates that maintenance requirements for this strain are significantly higher than wild-type E. coli. 相似文献

Interspecies hydrogen transfer was studied in Desulfovibrio vulgaris-Methanosarcina barkeri mixed cultures. Experiments were performed under batch and continuous growth culture conditions. Lactate or pyruvate was used as an energy source. In batch culture and after 30 days of simultaneous incubation, these organisms were found to yield 1.5 mol of methane and 1.5 mol of carbon dioxide per mol of lactate fermented. When M. barkeri served as the hydrogen acceptor, growth yields of D. vulgaris were higher compared with those obtained on pyruvate without any electron acceptor other than protons. In continuous culture, all of the carbon derived from the oxidation of lactate was recovered as methane and carbon dioxide, provided the dilution rate was minimal. Increasing the dilution rate induced a gradual accumulation of acetate, causing acetate metabolism to cease at above μ = 0.05 h−1. Under these conditions all of the methane produced originated from carbon dioxide. The growth yields of D. vulgaris were measured when sulfate or M. barkeri was the electron acceptor. Two key observations resulted from the present study. First, although sulfate was substituted by M. barkeri, metabolism of D. vulgaris was only slightly modified. The coculture-fermented lactate produced equimolar quantities of carbon dioxide and methane. Second, acetogenesis and methane formation from acetate were completely separable. 相似文献

In order to improve the production rate of l-lysine, a mutant of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 21513 was cultivated in complex medium with gluconate and glucose as mixed carbon sources. In a batch culture, this
strain was found to consume gluconate and glucose simultaneously. In continuous culture at dilution rates ranging from 0.2
h−1 to 0.25 h−1, the specific l-lysine production rate increased to 0.12 g g−1 h−1 from 0.1 g g−1 h−1, the rate obtained with glucose as the sole carbon source [Lee et al. (1995) Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 43:1019–1027]. It
is notable that l-lysine production was observed at higher dilution rates than 0.4 h−1, which was not observed when glucose was the sole carbon source. The positive effect of gluconate was confirmed in the shift
of the carbon source from glucose to gluconate. The metabolic transition, which has been characterized by decreased l-lysine production at the higher glucose uptake rates, was not observed when gluconate was added. These results demonstrate
that the utilization of gluconate as a secondary carbon source improves the maximum l-lysine production rate in the threonine-limited continuous culture, probably by relieving the limiting factors in the lysine
synthesis rate such as NADPH supply and/or phosphoenolpyruvate availability.

Control of lactate production by Selenomonas ruminantium: homotropic activation of lactate dehydrogenase by pyruvate. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
R J Wallace 《Journal of general microbiology》1978,107(1):45-52
Selenomonas ruminantium produced one mole of D(-)-lactate per mole of glucose used at all dilution rates in ammonia-limited continuous culture. In contrast, lactate production varied according to the dilution rate when glucose was the limiting nutrient. At dilution rates of less than 0.2 h-1, acetate and propionate were the main fermentation products and lactate production was low. At dilution rates above 0.2 h-1, the pattern changed to one of high lactate production similar to that under ammonia limitation. Experiments with cell-free extracts of S. ruminantium showed that D(-)-lactate dehydrogenase had sigmoidal kinetics consistent with homotropic activation of the enzyme by its substrate, pyruvate. This feature allows S. ruminantium to amplify the effects of relatively small changes in the intracellular concentration of pyruvate to cause much larger changes in the rate of production of lactate. Some confirmation that this mechanism of control occurs under physiological conditions was obtained in glucose-limited culture, in which the sigmoidal increase in lactate production was accompanied by a linear increase in pyruvate excretion as the dilution rate increased. 相似文献

Effect of different carbohydrates on growth, polysaccharidase and glycosidase production by Bacteroides ovatus, in batch and continuous culture 总被引:4,自引:3,他引:1

Bacteroides ovatus was grown in batch culture on 12 different carbon sources (five polysaccharides, seven monosaccharides and disaccharides). Specific growth rates were determined for each substrate together with polysaccharidase and glycosidase activities. Growth rates on polymerized carbohydrates were as fast or faster than on corresponding simple sugars, demonstrating that the rate of polysaccharide depolymerization was not a factor limiting growth. Bacteroides ovatus synthesized a large range of polymer-degrading enzymes. These polysaccharidases and glycosidases were generally repressed during growth on simple sugars, but arabinose was required for optimal production of α-arabinofuranosidase. Polysaccharidase and glycosidase activities were measured in continuous cultures grown with either xylan or guar gum under putative carbon limitation. With the exception of β-xylosidase, activities of the polymer-degrading enzymes were inversely related to growth rate. This correlated with polysaccharide utilization which was greatest at low dilution rates. These results show that Bact. ovatus is highly adapted for growth on polymerized carbohydrate in the human colon and confirm that the utilization of polysaccharides is partly regulated at the level of enzyme synthesis. and accepted 8 June 1989 相似文献

Mouse hybridoma cells were grown in suspension in continuous stirred bioreactors. Cell growth, substrate utilization, and monoclonal antibody (MAb) production were studied using serum-free medium. Steady-state data were obtained at different dilution rates, between 0.012 and 0.039 h(-1) Viability was profoundly affected by dilution rate, particularly near the lower end of the dilution-rate range investigated. MAb concentration and productivity went through a maximum with respect to dilution rate. Lactate yield on glucose declined with in creasing dilution rate. Experiments were carried out to study the effects of medium glucose concentration on cell growth, product formation, and lactate yield on glucose. Reduction of glucose concentration in the feed medium did not considerably affect cell density and MAb concentration in the culture, but lactate levels dropped sharply; lactate yield on glucose declined substantially, indicating alterations in cell metabolic path ways for energy metabolism. Optimization strategy for continuous cell culture is discussed. 相似文献

The growth characteristics of Candida albicans CM145,348 have been examined under aerobic conditions in continuous culture. At different steady states the environment was controlled with respect to the concentrations of dissolved oxygen, carbon and nitrogen, the pH, and the temperature. Dry matter, substrate concentration, yield, specific oxygen uptake, specific carbon dioxide release and respiration quotient were examined as a function of the dilution rate. The morphology depended on the carbon source. Maltose produced a mycelial morphology, whereas with lactate a yeast culture was obtained. With fructose or glucose as a carbon source a mixed morphology of yeast, pseudo-mycelial and mycelial forms was produced. A larger number of different growth conditions were examined in batch culture but a mixed morphology was always obtained. 相似文献

Propionibacterium shermanii has been anaerobically propagated in batch and continuous culture with glucose and/or lactate as energy source. Specific growth rate on lactate was observed to be the same as that on glucose. In terms of cell density, the yield on glucose is higher than the yield on lactate. But the molar ratio of yield on glucose to that on lactate, 8.35, is in good agreement with the theoretical value of 8. In a mixture of glucose and lactate, P. shermanii showed diauxic growth. It used lactate before glucose utilization began. Neither temporary growth cessation nor two distinct growth phases were observed. A mathematical model is proposed to describe the diauxic growth. 相似文献

The growth of Streptococcus cremoris on a semidefined medium was studied at initial lactose concentrations of 0.2-5.0% in batch culture, and in lactose-limited chemostat cultures at 0.5% lactose. Kinetic analysis of the batch data, using statisitcal techniques, indicated the importance of lactose limitation and lactic acid inhibition of the growth of S. cremoris. A model for the biomass production, lactose utilization, and lactic acid production in batch culture was proposed. In continuous culture, it was found that steady state populations were maintained at higher dilution rates (D = 0.6-0.7 h-1) than the maximum predicted by batch culture (0.56h-1). No evidence for a selection of fast growing mutants was obtained. Copious growth adhering to the walls of the fermentor (i.e. wall growth) occurred very rapidly at higher dilution rates and this undoubtedly affected steady-state growth and wash-out and, as a consequence, the apparent maximum dilution rate. 相似文献

Hyaluronic acid is routinely produced through fermentation of both Group A and C streptococci. Despite significant production costs associated with short fermentations and removal of contaminating proteins released during entry into stationary phase, hyaluronic acid is typically produced in batch rather than continuous culture. The main reason is that hyaluronic acid synthesis has been found to be unstable in continuous culture except at very low dilution rates. Here, we investigated the mechanisms underlying this instability and developed a stable, high dilution rate (0.4 h-1) chemostat process for both chemically defined and complex media operating for more than 150 h of production. In chemically defined medium, the product yield was 25% higher in chemostat cultures than in conventional batch culture when arginine or glucose was the limiting substrate. In contrast, glutamine limitation resulted in higher ATP requirements and a yield similar to that observed in batch culture. In complex, glucose-limited medium, ATP requirements were greatly reduced but biomass synthesis was favored over hyaluronic acid and no improvement in hyaluronic acid yield was observed. The successful establishment of continuous culture at high dilution rate enables both commercial production at reduced cost and a more rational characterization and optimization of hyaluronic acid production in streptococci. 相似文献

Summary The main fermentation end products in batch culture (unlimited glucose supply) of Clostridium barkeri were butyrate and lactate. The specific rate of butyrate production was linearly proportional to the growth rate while the specific rate of lactate production increased at low growth rates. In a glucose limited chemostat culture butyrate production was partly growth associated while acetate and lactate production was growth associated. Lactate was, however, only produced at high dilution rates. By varying the glucose concentration in the inflowing medium it was shown that lactate production was stimulated by a high feeding rate of the carbon source. These results are discussed in view of the fructose-1,6-diphosphate dependent lactate dehydrogenase activity in many other organisms. 相似文献
