The production of the chemical solvents acetone and butanol by the bacterium Clostridium acetobutylicum was one of the first large-scale industrial processes to be developed, and in the first part of the last century ranked second in importance only to ethanol production. After a steep decline in its industrial use, there has been a recent resurgence of interest in the acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) fermentation process, with a particular emphasis on butanol production. In order to generate strains suitable for efficient use on an industrial scale, metabolic engineering is required to alter the AB ratio in favour of butanol, and eradicate the production of unwanted products of fermentation. Using ClosTron technology, a large-scale targeted mutagenesis in C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824 was carried out, generating a set of 10 mutants, defective in alcohol/aldehyde dehydrogenases 1 and 2 (adhE1, adhE2), butanol dehydrogenases A and B (bdhA, bdhB), phosphotransbutyrylase (ptb), acetate kinase (ack), acetoacetate decarboxylase (adc), CoA transferase (ctfA/ctfB), and a previously uncharacterised putative alcohol dehydrogenase (CAP0059). However, inactivation of the main hydrogenase (hydA) and thiolase (thl) could not be achieved. Constructing such a series of mutants is paramount for the acquisition of information on the mechanism of solvent production in this organism, and the subsequent development of industrial solvent producing strains. Unexpectedly, bdhA and bdhB mutants did not affect solvent production, whereas inactivation of the previously uncharacterised gene CAP0059 resulted in increased acetone, butanol, and ethanol formation. Other mutants showed predicted phenotypes, including a lack of acetone formation (adc, ctfA, and ctfB mutants), an inability to take up acids (ctfA and ctfB mutants), and a much reduced acetate formation (ack mutant). The adhE1 mutant in particular produced very little solvents, demonstrating that this gene was indeed the main contributor to ethanol and butanol formation under the standard batch culture conditions employed in this study. All phenotypic changes observed could be reversed by genetic complementation, with exception of those seen for the ptb mutant. This mutant produced around 100 mM ethanol, no acetone and very little (7 mM) butanol. The genome of the ptb mutant was therefore re-sequenced, together with its parent strain (ATCC 824 wild type), and shown to possess a frameshift mutation in the thl gene, which perfectly explained the observed phenotype. This finding reinforces the need for mutant complementation and Southern Blot analysis (to confirm single ClosTron insertions), which should be obligatory in all further ClosTron applications. 相似文献

Direct fermentation of gelatinized sago starch into solvent (acetone–butanol–ethanol) by Clostridium acetobutylicum P262 was studied using a 250 ml Schott bottle anaerobic fermentation system. Total solvent production from fermentation using 30 g sago starch/l (11.03g/l) was comparable to fermentation using corn starch and about 2-fold higher than fermentation using potato or tapioca starch. At the range of sago starch concentration investigated (10–80 g/l), the highest total solvent production (18.82 g/l) was obtained at 50 g/l. The use of a mixture of organic and inorganic nitrogen source (yeast extract + NH4NO3) enhanced growth of C. acetobutylicum, starch hydrolysis and solvent production (24.47 g/l) compared to the use of yeast extract alone. This gave the yield based on sugar consumed of 0.45 g/g. Result from this study also showed that the individual concentrations of nitrogen and carbon influenced solvent production to a greater extent than did carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio. 相似文献

Sustainable vehicle fuel is indispensable in future due to worldwide depletion of fossil fuel reserve, oil price fluctuation and environmental degradation. Microbial production of butanol from renewable biomass could be one of the possible options. Renewable biomass such as corn stover has no food deficiency issues and is also cheaper in most of the agricultural based countries. Thus it can effectively solve the existing issue of substrate cost. In the last 30 years, a few of Clostridium strains have been successfully implemented for biobutanol fermentation. However, the commercial production is hindered due to their poor tolerance to butanol and inhibitors. Metabolic engineering of Clostridia strains is essential to solve above problems and ultimately enhance the solvent production. An effective and efficient pretreatment of raw material as well as optimization of fermentation condition could be another option. Furthermore, biological approaches may be useful to optimize both the host and pathways to maximize butanol production. In this context, this paper reviews the existing Clostridium strains and their ability to produce butanol particularly from corn stover. This study also highlights possible fermentation pathways and biological approaches that may be useful to optimize fermentation pathways. Moreover, challenges and future perspectives are also discussed. 相似文献

Sago pith residues (58 % starch, 23 % cellulose, 9.2 % hemicellulose, and 4 % lignin) are one of the abundant lignocellulosic residues generated after starch extraction process in sago mill. In this study, fermentable sugars from enzymatic hydrolysis of sago pith residues were converted to acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) by Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824. With an initial concentration of 30 g/L of concentrated sago pith residues hydrolysate containing 23 g/L of glucose and 4.58 g/L of cellobiose, 4.22?±?0.17 g/L of ABE were produced after 72 h of fermentation with yield and productivity of 0.20 g/g glucose and 0.06 g/L/h, respectively. Results are in agreement when synthetic glucose was used as a carbon source. Increasing sago pith residue hydrolysate to 50 g/L (containing 40 g/L glucose) and supplementing with 0.5 g/L yeast extract, approximately 8.84?±?0.20 g/L of ABE (5.41?±?0.10 g/L of butanol) were produced with productivity and yield of 0.12 g/L/h and 0.30 g/g glucose respectively, providing a 52 % improvement. 相似文献

PDMS/ceramic composite membrane was directly integrated with acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation using Clostridium acetobutylicum XY16 at 37 °C and in situ removing ABE from fermentation broth. The membrane was integrated with batch fermentation, and approximately 46 % solvent was extracted. The solvent in permeates was 118 g/L, and solvent productivity was 0.303 g/(L/h), which was approximately 33 % higher compared with the batch fermentation without in situ recovery. The fed-batch fermentation with in situ recovery by pervaporation continued for more than 200 h, 61 % solvent was extracted, and the solvent in penetration was 96.2 g/L. The total flux ranged from 0.338 to 0.847 kg/(m(2)/h) and the separation factor of butanol ranged from 5.1 to 27.1 in this process. The membrane was fouled by the active fermentation broth, nevertheless the separation performances were partially recovered by offline membrane cleaning, and the solvent productivity was increased to 0.252 g/(L/h), which was 19 % higher compared with that in situ recovery process without membrane cleaning. 相似文献

Corn stalk was used as a support to immobilize Clostridia beijerinckii ATCC 55025 in the fermentation process of acetone, butanol, and ethanol production. The effect of the dilution rate on solvent
production was examined in a steady-state 20-day continuous flow operation. The maximum total solvent concentration of 8.99 g l−1 was obtained at a dilution rate of 0.2 h−1. Increasing the dilution rate between 0.2 and 1.0 h−1 resulted in an increased solvent productivity, and the highest solvent productivity was obtained at 5.06 g l−1 h−1 with a dilution rate of 1 h−1. The maximum solvent yield from glucose of 0.32 g g−1 was observed at 0.25 h−1. The cell adsorption and morphology change during the growth on corn stalk support were examined by the SEM. 相似文献

An examination of the sustainability of the long-term cultivation of C. beijerinckii BA101 in degermed corn/saccharified degermed corn based P2 medium has been described in this work. It was found that long-term continuous cultivation of C. beijerinckii BA101 in a degermed corn based medium was not possible due to the instability of the gelatinized degermed corn starch during storage often called “retrogradation”. Using this substrate, continuous ABE fermentation was run for 228 h, before the fermentation turned acidogenic. However continuous fermentations of saccharified degermed corn with normal and half P2 medium nutrients were successful. In saccharified degermed corn continuous fermentation, ABE concentration up to 14.28 g/L was achieved at a dilution rate of 0.03 h−1. This work demonstrated that byproduct (germ/oil, corn fiber) credit can be obtained by fermenting saccharified degermed corn in continuous flow bioreactors. Additionally significant savings can be achieved by supplementing with half of normal P2 medium nutrients. 相似文献

Higher energy content and hydrophobicity make bio-based n-butanol a preferred building block for chemical and biofuels manufacturing. Butanol is obtained by Clostridium sp. based ABE fermentation process. While the ABE process is well understood, the enzyme systems involved have not been elucidated in detail. The important enzyme ß-hydroxybutyryl CoA dehydrogenase from Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 (Hbd) was purified and characterized. Surprisingly, Hbd shows extremely high temperature (T > 60 °C), pH (4–11) and solvent (1-butanol, isobutanol, ethanol) stability. Hbd catalyzes acetoacetyl CoA hydration to ß-hydroxybutyryl CoA up to pH 9.5, where the reaction is reversed. Substrate (acacCoA, ß-hbCoA) and cofactor (NADH, NAD+, NADPH and NADP+) specificities were determined. We identified NAD+ as an uncompetitive inhibitor. Identification of process relevant enzymes such as Hbd is key to optimize butanol production via cellular or cell-free enzymatic systems. 相似文献

Summary Strains of Clostridium acetobutylicum were tested for the presence of -galactosidase and phospho--galactosidase activities when grown on lactose. All strains, except C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824, showed both enzyme activities. Only phospho--galactosidase activity was detected with C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824. C. acetobutylicum strains P262 and ATCC 824 showed no detectable -galactosidase or phospho--galactosidase activities when grown on glucose. In the fermentation of whey permeate C. acetobutylicum P262 showed an early induction of phospho--galactosidase associated with the acidogenic phase. The -galactosidase activity peaked at a later stage of the fermentation (22 h) coinciding with the solvent production phase. Similar induction of phospho--galactosidase at the early stages (13 h) of fermentation of whey permeate by C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824 was also shown. No -galactosidase activity was detected during the entire course of fermentation by strain ATCC 824. 相似文献

Summary An extracellular -amylase was purified to homogeneity from the culture supernatant ofClostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 grown in synthetic medium containing starch by using a combination of ammonium sulfate fractionation, anion exchange chromatography and HPLC-gel filtration. The molecular weight of the 160-fold purified -amylase was determined by SDS-PAGE to be 61 kDa. HPLC analysis of end-products of enzyme activity on various substrates indicated that the enzyme acted specifically in an endo-fashion on the -1,4-glucosidic linkages. Enzyme activity was optimal over a pH range of 4.5–5.0 and temperature of 55°C, but was rapidly inactivated at higher temperatures. Addition of calcium chloride (2–5 mM) increased -amylase activity by ca. 20%, while the addition of 19 g ml–1 of acarbose (a differential inhibitor of amylases) resulted in 50% inhibition. TheV

China is one of the few countries, which maintained the fermentative acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) production for several
decades. Until the end of the last century, the ABE fermentation from grain was operated in a few industrial scale plants.
Due to the strong competition from the petrochemical industries, the fermentative ABE production lost its position in the
1990s, when all the solvent fermentation plants in China were closed. Under the current circumstances of concern about energy
limitations and environmental pollution, new opportunities have emerged for the traditional ABE fermentation industry since
it could again be potentially competitive with chemical synthesis. From 2006, several ABE fermentation plants in China have
resumed production. The total solvent (acetone, butanol, and ethanol) production capacity from ten plants reached 210,000 tons,
and the total solvent production is expected to be extended to 1,000,000 tons (based on the available data as of Sept. 2008).
This article reviews current work in strain development, the continuous fermentation process, solvent recovery, and economic
evaluation of ABE process in China. Challenges for an economically competitive ABE process in the future are also discussed. 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

Acetone butanol ethanol (ABE) was produced in an integrated continuous one-stage fermentation and gas stripping product recovery system using Clostridium beijerinckii BA101 and fermentation gases (CO2 and H2). In this system, the bioreactor was fed with a concentrated sugar solution (250–500 g L?1 glucose). The bioreactor was bled semi-continuously to avoid accumulation of inhibitory chemicals and products. The continuous system was operated for 504 h (21 days) after which the fermentation was intentionally terminated. The bioreactor produced 461.3 g ABE from 1,125.0 g total sugar in 1 L culture volume as compared to a control batch process in which 18.4 g ABE was produced from 47.3 g sugar. These results demonstrate that ABE fermentation can be operated in an integrated continuous one-stage fermentation and product recovery system for a long period of time, if butanol and other microbial metabolites in the bioreactor are kept below threshold of toxicity. 相似文献

Two metabolic engineering tools, namely gene inactivation and gene overexpression, were employed to examine the effects of two genetic modifications on the fermentation characteristics of Clostridium acetobutylicum. Inactivation of the butyrate kinase gene (buk) was examined using strain PJC4BK, while the combined effect of buk inactivation and overexpression of the aad gene-encoding the alcohol aldehyde dehydrogense (AAD) used in butanol formation-was examined using strain PJC4BK(pTAAD). The two strains were characterized in controlled pH > or = 5.0 fermentations, and by a recently enhanced method of metabolic flux analysis. Strain PJC4BK was previously genetically characterized, and fermentation experiments at pH > or = 5.5 demonstrated good, but not exceptional, solvent-production capabilities. Here, we show that this strain is a solvent superproducer in pH > or = 5.0 fermentations producing 225 mM (16.7 g/L) of butanol, 76 mM of acetone (4.4 g/L), and 57 mM (2.6 g/L) of ethanol. Strain PJC4BK(pTAAD) produced similar amounts of butanol and acetone but 98 mM (4.5 g/L) of ethanol. Both strains overcame the 180 mM (13 g/L) butanol toxicity limit, without any selection for butanol tolerance. Work with strain PJC4BK(pTAAD) is the first reported use of dual antibiotic selection in C. acetobutylicum. One antibiotic was used for selection of strain PJC4BK while the second antibiotic selected for the pTAAD presence. Overexpression of aad from pTAAD resulted in increased ethanol production but did not increase butanol titers, thus indicating that AAD did not limit butanol production under these fermentation conditions. Metabolic flux analysis showed a decrease in butyrate formation fluxes by up to 75% and an increase in acetate formation fluxes of up to 100% during early growth. The mean specific butanol and ethanol formation fluxes increased significantly in these recombinant strains, up to 300% and 400%, respectively. Onset of solvent production occurred during the exponential-growth phase when the culture optical density was very low and when total and undissociated butyric acid levels were <1 mM. Butyrate levels were low throughout all fermentations, never exceeding 20 mM. Thus, threshold butyrate concentrations are not necessary for solvent production in these stains, suggesting the need for a new phenomenological model to explain solvent formation. 相似文献

A study of the kinetics and performance of solvent-yielding batch fermentation of individual sugars and their mixture derived
from enzymic hydrolysis of sago starch byClostridium acetobutylicum showed that the use of 30 g/L gelatinized sago starch as the sole carbon source produced 11.2 g/L total solvent,i.e. 1.5–2 times more than with pure maltose or glucose used as carbon sources. Enzymic pretreatment of gelatinized sago starch
yielding maltose and glucose hydrolyzates prior to the fermentation did not improve solvent production as compared to direct
fermentation of gelatinized sago starch. The solvent yield of direct gelatinized sago starch fermentation depended on the
activity and stability of amylolytic enzymes produced during the fermentation. The pH optima for α-amylase and glucoamylase
were found to be at 5.3 and 4.0–4.4, respectively. α-Amylase showed a broad pH stability profile, retaining more than 80%
of its maximum activity at pH 3.0–8.0 after a 1-d incubation at 37°C. SinceC. acetobutylicum α-amylase has a high activity and stability at low pH, this strain can potentially be employed in a one-step direct solvent-yielding
fermentation of sago starch. However, theC. acetobutylicum glucoamylase was only stable at pH 4–5, maintaining more than 90% of its maximum activity after a 1-d incubation at 37°C. 相似文献

In this study, the alkaline twin-screw extrusion pretreated corn stover was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis after washing. The impact of solid loading and enzyme dose on enzymatic hydrolysis was investigated. It was found that 68.2 g/L of total fermentable sugar could be obtained after enzymatic hydrolysis with the solid loading of 10 %, while the highest sugar recovery of 91.07 % was achieved when the solid loading was 2 % with the cellulase dose of 24 FPU/g substrate. Subsequently, the hydrolyzate was fermented by Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824. The acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) production of the hydrolyzate was compared with the glucose, xylose and simulated hydrolyzate medium which have the same reducing sugar concentration. It was shown that 7.1 g/L butanol and 11.2 g/L ABE could be produced after 72 h fermentation for the hydrolyzate obtained from enzymatic hydrolysis with 6 % solid loading. This is comparable to the glucose and simulated hydrozate medium, and the overall ABE yield could reach 0.112 g/g raw corn stover. 相似文献

The production of acetone—butanol—ethanol solvents from cane molasses by locally isolated culture ofClostridium acetobutylicum was limited by butanol toxicity (1.6 mol/L). The butanol tolerance of the isolated culture was increased up to 4.8 mol/L by a serial enrichment method. The butanol-resistant strain had greater efficiency for the conversion of saccharides to mixed solvents and produced 52% more butanol at the expense of acetone and ethanol than the original strain. Moreover, the fermentation profile of parent and butanol-resistant strains in anerobic fermentation of cane molasses demonstrated the superiority of the latter in terms of growth rate, time of onset of butanol production, sugar utilization, final butanol concentration and other parameters. 相似文献
