Fermentation of n-Paraffins by Yeast

Screening test for obtaining microorganisms which produce l-amino acids or organic acids from n-paraffins were carried out. Fourteen strains of microorganisms which seemed to belong to the yeast showed strong ability to produce α-ketoglutaric acid. A representative strain of these microorganisms was identified as Candida lipolytica AJ 5004.

Optimal conditions for production of α-ketoglutarate using Candida lipolytica AJ 5004 were also studied. Under the condition thus obtained using a culture medium of 8 weight % of n-paraffins, the yeast accumulated 59% of α-ketoglutarate to the substrate added after three days culture.     

Fermentation of n-Paraffins by Yeast

α-Ketoglutarate productivity from n-paraffins of 141 strains of identified yeasts was studied. Among the strains tested, only strains of Candida lipolytica exclusively showed a high ability to produce α-ketoglutarale.

It was also observed that these strains of Candida lipolytica required thiamine for their growth and that exegenous thiamine stimulated the activity of α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase of Candida lipolytica AJ 5004.

From these results, relationship between thiamine requirement and α-ketoglutarate productivity of Candida lipolytica was discussed.

α-Ketoglutarate fermentation by representative strains of Candida lipolytica was also carried out.     

Fermentation of Cellodextrins by Different Yeast Strains

The fermentation of cellodextrins by eight yeast species capable of fermenting cellobiose was monitored. Only two of these species, Torulopsis molischiana and T. wickerhamii, were able to ferment β-glucosides with a degree of polymerization between one and six. These two species showed exocellular β-glucosidase activity. Four other species were able to ferment cellotriose, and the last two species only fermented cellobiose. These latter six species produced a β-glucosidase capable of attacking cellodextrins, but this enzyme was endocellular.

Viricidal Effects of Lactobacillus and Yeast Fermentation

The survival of selected viruses in Lactobacillus- and yeast-fermented edible waste material was studied to determine the feasibility of using this material as a livestock feed ingredient. Five viruses, including Newcastle disease virus, infectious canine hepatitis virus, a porcine picornavirus, frog virus 3, and bovine virus diarrhea, were inoculated into a mixture of ground food waste (collected from a school lunch program) containing Lactobacillus acidophilus. Mixtures were incubated at 20, 30, and 40°C for 216 h. In a second trial, four viruses, including Newcastle disease virus, infectious canine hepatitis virus, frog virus 3, and a porcine picornavirus, were inoculated into similar edible waste material containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Mixtures were incubated at 20 and 30°C for 216 h. Samples were obtained daily for quantitative (trial 1) and qualitative (trial 2) virus isolation. Temperature, pH, and redox potential were monitored. Controlled pH and temperature studies were also done and compared with the inactivation rates in the fermentation processes. In trial 1 (Lactobacillus fermentation), infectious canine hepatitis virus survived the entire test period in the fermentation process but was inactivated below pH 4.5 in the controlled studies. Newcastle disease virus was inactivated by day 8 in the fermentation process and appeared to be primarily heat sensitive and secondarily pH sensitive in the controlled studies. The porcine picornavirus survived the fermentation process for 8 days at 20°C but was inactivated more rapidly at 30 and 40°C. The controlled studies verified these findings. Frog virus 3 was inactivated by day 3 in the fermentation process and appeared to be sensitive to low pH in the controlled studies. Bovine virus diarrhea was rapidly inactivated in the fermentation process (less than 2 h) and was pH and temperature sensitive. In trial 2 (yeast fermentation), infectious hepatitis virus survived the entire test period in the fermentation process. Newcastle disease virus was inactivated by day 7 at 20°C and day 6 at 30°C. The porcine picornavirus was inactivated by day 7 at 30°C but survived the entire test period at 20°C. Frog virus 3 was inactivated by day 3 at 20°C and day 2 at 30°C.

酵母表达肌肉生长抑制素前肽发酵工艺的优化

突变型肌肉生长抑制素前肽（MMP）在治疗肌肉萎缩症和培育多肌肉牲畜上有着广泛的应用前景。以重组表达MMP的毕赤酵母工程菌为模式,对该工程菌在30L发酵灌中培养与诱导备件进行优化,建立该表达系统大规模发酵的最佳生产条件,以期荻得最短的发酵时间和最低的生产损耗。毕赤酵母发酵过程通常分为3个阶段：分批培养（基础培养）阶段、分批补料培养阶段、诱导阶段。对发酵过程的第2与第3阶段进行了优化。通过分步提高甘油流加速度：以20mL／L·h^-1的速度流加5h、以30mL／L·h^-1的速度流加5h、以50mL／L·h^-1速度流加14h,并通入纯氧气,维持60％的溶氧度,使甘油流加阶段的时间从常规的48h缩短至24h,即只需24h即可达到常规方法48h才能达到的菌体密度。在诱导表达阶段,通过甘油与甲醇的交替流加,同时对发酵液中甲醇含量的实时监测,保持甲醇的浓度不超过0．5％的高限,使诱导的时间从常规的72h缩短至36h,而且表达量提高了约1倍。优化后,整个发酵周期从120～148h缩短至72～80h,显著提高了MMP蛋白的生产效率。     

The Formation of Higher Alcohols in the Fermentation of Amino Acids by Yeast

We have found that in the alcoholic fermentation of amino acids by yeast isobutyl alcohol is produced from alanine and n-propyl and active amyl alcohols are formed from α-amino-n-butyric acid or threonine contrary to the F. Ehrlich’s scheme. These results suggest the close relationship among the formation of these higher alcohols and biosynthesis of valine from alanine and biosynthesis of isoleucine from α-amino-n-butyric acid or threonine.

In this report, we studied the formation of n-propyl alcohol and active amyl alcohol from α-amino-n-butyric acid using washed yeast cells.
