The fermentation characteristics of the novel, thermotolerant, isolate Kluyveromyces marxianus var marxianus were determined to evaluate its aptitude for use in an ethanol production process. Sustainable growth was not observed under
anaerobic conditions, even in the presence of unsaturated fatty acid and sterol. A maximum ethanol concentration of 40 g L−1 was produced at 45°C, with an initial specific ethanol production rate of 1.7 g g−1 h−1. This was observed at ethanol concentrations below 8 g L−1 and under oxygen-limited conditions. The low ethanol tolerance and low growth under oxygen-limited conditions required for
ethanol production implied that a simple continuous process was not feasible with this yeast strain. Improved productivity
was achieved through recycling biomass into the fermenter, indicating that utilising an effective cell retention method such
as cell recycle or immobilisation, could lead to the development of a viable industrial process using this novel yeast strain.

The change of dilution rate (D) on both Methylophilus methylotrophus NCIMB11348 and Methylobacterium sp. RXM CCMI908 growing in trimethylamine (TMA) chemostat cultures was studied in order to assess their ability to remove
odours in fish processing plants. M. methylotrophus NCIMB11348 was grown at dilution rates of 0.012–0.084 h−1 and the biomass level slightly increased up to values of D around 0.07 h−1. The maximum cell production rate was obtained at 0.07 h−1 corresponding to a maximum conversion of carbon into cell mass (35%). The highest rate of TMA consumption was 3.04 mM h−1 occurring at D=0.076 h−1. Methylobacterium sp. RXM CCMI908 was grown under similar conditions. The biomass increased in a more steep manner up to values of D around 0.06 h−1. The maximum cell production rate (0.058 g l−1h−1) was obtained in the region close to 0.06 h−1 where a maximum conversion of the carbon into cell mass (40%) was observed. The maximum TMA consumption was 2.33 mM h−1 at D=0.075 h−1. The flux of carbon from TMA towards cell synthesis and carbon dioxide in both strains indicates that the cell is not excreting
products but directing most of the carbon source to growth. Carbon recovery levels of approximately 100% show that the cultures
are carbon-limited. Values for theoretical maximum yields and maintenance coefficients are presented along with a kinetic
assessment based on the determination of the substrate saturation constant and maximum growth rate for each organism.

Acetic acid fermentation is the biochemical process by which, under strict conditions of aerobiosis, Acetobacter aceti oxidises the ethanol contained in alcoholic substrates into acetic acid. This paper studies the effect of temperature on
the specific growth rate of the microorganisms (μ
C), in particular, the mathematical modelling of this process, with the aim of developing previous studies of the mathematical
relationships between μ
C of A. aceti and the concentrations of substrate (ethanol), product (acetic acid) and dissolved oxygen. Until now this relationship has
not been widely studied, and only a few studies have looked at the influence of temperature on growth kinetics of this bacteria.
We have developed an extensive experimental system, to determine precisely the influence of temperature on the maximum specific
growth rate.

Analysis and optimization of a two-substrate fermentation for xylitol production using Candida tropicalis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Xylitol, a functional sweetener, was produced from xylose using Candida tropicalisATCC 13803. A two-substrate fermentation was designed in order to increase xylitol yield and volumetric productivity. Glucose
was used initially for cell growth followed by conversion of xylose to xylitol without cell growth and by-product formation
after complete depletion of glucose. High glucose concentrations increased volumetric productivity by reducing conversion
time due to high cell mass, but also led to production of ethanol, which, in turn, inhibited cell growth and xylitol production.
Computer simulation was undertaken to optimize an initial glucose concentration using kinetic equations describing rates of
cell growth and xylose bioconversion as a function of ethanol concentration. Kinetic constants involved in the equations were
estimated from the experimental results. Glucose at 32 g L−1 was estimated to be an optimum initial glucose concentration with a final xylose concentration of 86 g L−1 and a volumetric productivity of 5.15 g-xylitol L−1 h−1. The two-substrate fermentation was performed under optimum conditions to verify the computer simulation results. The experimental
results were in good agreement with the predicted values of simulation with a xylitol yield of 0.81 g-xylitol g-xylose−1 and a volumetric productivity of 5.06 g-xylitol L−1 h−1.

Autoselective xylose-utilising strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing the xylose reductase (XYL1) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XYL2) genes of Pichia stipitis were constructed by replacing the chromosomal FUR1 gene with a disrupted fur1::LEU2 allele. Anaerobic fermentations with 80 g l−1
d-xylose as substrate showed a twofold higher consumption of xylose in complex medium compared to defined medium. The xylose
consumption rate increased a further threefold when 20 g l−1
d-glucose or raffinose was used as co-substrate together with 50 g l−1
d-xylose. Xylose consumption was higher with raffinose as co-substrate than with glucose (85% versus 71%, respectively) after
82 h fermentations. A high initial ethanol concentration and moderate levels of glycerol and acetic acid accompanied glucose
as co-substrate, whereas the ethanol concentration gradually increased with raffinose as co-substrate with no glycerol and
much less acetic acid formation.

Instead of the conventional carbon sources used for propionic acid biosynthesis, the utilization of glycerol is considered
here, since the metabolic pathway involved in the conversion of glycerol to propionic acid is redox-neutral and energetic.
Three strains, Propionibacterium acidipropionici, Propionibacterium acnes and Clostridium propionicum were tested for their ability to convert glycerol to propionic acid during batch fermentation with initially 20 g/l glycerol.
P. acidipropionici showed higher efficiency in terms of fermentation time and conversion yield than did the other strains. The fermentation
profile of this bacterium consisted in propionic acid as the major product (0.844 mol/mol), and in minimal by-products: succinic
(0.055 mol/mol), acetic (0.023 mol/mol) and formic (0.020 mol/mol) acids and n-propanol (0.036 mol/mol). The overall propionic acid productivity was 0.18 g l−1h−1. A comparative study with glucose and lactic acid as carbon sources showed both less diversity in end-product composition
and a 17% and 13% lower propionic acid conversion yield respectively than with glycerol. Increasing the initial glycerol concentration
resulted in an enhanced productivity up to 0.36 g l−1h−1 and in a maximal propionic acid concentration of 42 g/l, while a slight decrease of the conversion yield was noticed. Such
a propionic acid production rate was similar or higher than the values obtained with lactic acid (0.35 g l−1h−1) or glucose (0.28 g l−1h−1). These results demonstrated that glycerol is a carbon source of interest for propionic acid production.

The use of silica gel prepared by sol-gel method and polyurethane foam as microbial carriers in the continuous degradation of phenol 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
A mixed microbial culture was immobilized by entrapment into silica gel (SG) and entrapment/ adsorption on polyurethane foam
(PU) and ceramic foam. The phenol degradation performance of the SG biocatalyst was studied in a packed-bed reactor (PBR),
packed-bed reactor with ceramic foam (PBRC) and fluidized-bed reactor (FBR). In continuous experiments the maximum degradation
rate of phenol (q
s
max) decreased in the order: PBRC (598 mg l−1 h−1) > PBR (PU, 471 mg l−1 h−1) > PBR (SG, 394 mg l−1 h−1) > FBR (PU, 161 mg l−1 h−1) > FBR (SG, 91 mg l−1 h−1). The long-term use of the SG biocatalyst in continuous phenol degradation resulted in the formation of a 100–200 μm thick
layer with a high cell density on the surface of the gel particles. The abrasion of the surface layer in the FBR contributed
to the poor degradation performance of this reactor configuration. Coating the ceramic foam with a layer of cells immobilized
in colloidal SiO2 enhanced the phenol degradation efficiency during the first 3 days of the PBRC operation, in comparison with untreated ceramic
packing.

The α-amylase of Streptomyces sp. IMD 2679 was subject to catabolite repression. Four different growth rates were achieved when the organism was grown
at 40 °C and 55 °C in the presence and absence of cobalt, with an inverse relationship between α-amylase production and growth
rate. Highest α-amylase yields (520 units/ml) were obtained at the lowest growth rate (0.062 h−1), at 40 °C in the absence of cobalt, while at the highest growth rate (0.35 h−1), at 55 °C in the presence of cobalt, α-amylase production was decreased to 150 units/ml. As growth rate increased, the rate
of specific utilisation of the carbon source maltose also increased, from 46 to 123 μg maltose (mg biomass)−1 h−1. The pattern and levels of α-glucosidase (the enzyme degrading maltose) detected intracellularly in each case, indicate that
growth rate effectively controls the rate of feeding of glucose to the cell, and thus catabolite repression.

A thermostable lipase was produced in continuous cultivation of a newly isolated thermophilic Bacillus sp. strain IHI-91 growing optimally at 65 °C. Lipase activity decreased with increasing dilution rate while lipase productivity
showed a maximum of 340 U l−1 h−1 at a dilution rate of 0.4 h−1. Lipase productivity was increased by 50% compared to data from batch fermentations. Up to 70% of the total lipase activity
measured was associated to cells and by-products or residual substrate. Kinetic and stoichiometric parameters for the utilisation
of olive oil were determined. The maximal biomass output method led to a saturation constant K
S of 0.88 g/l. Both batch growth data and a washout experiment yielded a maximal specific growth rate, μmax, of 1.0 h−1. Oxygen uptake rates of up to 2.9 g l−1h−1 were calculated and the yield coefficient, Y
X/O, was determined to be 0.29 g dry cell weight/g O2. From an overall material balance the yield coefficient, Y
X/S, was estimated to be 0.60 g dry cell weight/g olive oil.

We have analysed the influence of the initial pH of the medium and the quantity of aeration provided during the batch fermentation
of solutions of d-xylose by the yeast Hansenula polymorpha (34438 ATCC). The initial pH was altered between 3.5 and 6.5 whilst aeration varied between 0.0 and 0.3 vvm. The temperature
was kept at 30 °C during all the experiments. Hansenula polymorpha is known to produce high quantities of xylitol and low quantities of ethanol. The most favourable conditions for the growth
of xylitol turned out to be: an initial pH of between 4.5 and 5.5 and the aeration provided by the stirring vortex alone.
Thus, at an initial pH of 5.5, the maximum specific production rate (μm) was 0.41 h−1, the overall biomass yield (Y
x/s
G) was 0.12 g g−1, the specific d-xylose-consumption rate (q
s
) was 0.075 g g−1 h−1 (for t = 75 h), the specific xylitol-production rate (q
Xy
) was 0.31 g g−1 h−1 (for t = 30 h) and the overall yields of ethanol (Y
E/s
G) and xylitol (Y
Xy/s
G) were 0.017 and 0.61 g g−1 respectively. Both q
s
and q
Xy
decreased during the course of the experiments once the exponential growth phase had finished.

Continuous production of l(+)-lactic acid by Lactobacillus casei in two-stage systems 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

A two-stage two-stream chemostat system and a two-stage two-stream immobilized upflow packed-bed reactor system were used
for the study of lactic acid production by Lactobacillus casei subsp casei. A mixing ratio of D
12/D
2 = 0.5 (D = dilution rate) resulted in optimum production, making it possible to generate continuously a broth with high lactic acid
concentration (48 g l−1) and with a lowered overall content of initial yeast extract (5 g l−1), half the concentration supplied in the one-step process. In the two-stage chemostat system, with the first stage at pH
5.5 and 37 °C and a second stage at pH 6.0, a temperature change from 40 °C to 45 °C in the second stage resulted in a 100%
substrate consumption at an overall dilution rate of 0.05 h−1. To increase the cell mass in the system, an adhesive strain of L. casei was used to inoculate two packed-bed reactors, which operated with two mixed feedstock streams at the optimal conditions
found above. Lactic acid fermentation started after a lag period of cell growth over foam glass particles. No significant
amount of free cells, compared with those adhering to the glass foam, was observed during continuous lactic acid production.
The extreme values, 57.5 g l−1 for lactic acid concentration and 9.72 g l−1 h−1 for the volumetric productivity, in upflow packed-bed reactors were higher than those obtained for free cells (48 g l−1 and 2.42 g l−1 h−1) respectively and the highest overall l(+)-lactic acid purity (96.8%) was obtained in the two-chemostat system as compared with the immobilized-cell reactors (93%).

A polychlorophenol-degrading bacterium, Sphingomonas sp. strain P5, was grown in 2,6-dichlo-rophenol(26-DCP)-limited, 2,3,6-trichlorophenol(236-TCP)-limited, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol(246-TCP)-limited,
2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol(2346-TeCP)-limited, and pentachlorophenol(PCP)-limited chemostat cultures at a dilution rate of
0.02 ± 0.002 h−1. The cultures were analyzed for the yield coefficient for growth on chlorophenol during steady-state conditions. The average
growth yields coefficients (as carbon conversion efficiencies) were 0.252, 0.230, 0.219, 0.157, and 0.121 mol C mol C−1 for 26-DCP, 236-TCP, 246-TCP, 2346-TeCP, and PCP respectively. The differences in growth yield can be interpreted in terms
of the energetics of chlorinated carbon metabolism; i.e. substitution of the phenol moiety reduces the available metabolic
energy by one electron per chlorine. The growth yield coefficients on chlorinated phenols were lower than the yield coefficients
of heterotrophic growth reported in the literature on non-chlorinated and aliphatic compounds. Metabolic origins for low growth
yield coefficients on (chlorinated) aromatic compounds are postulated.

Thermophilic acidification of dairy wastewater 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Acidification of simulated dairy wastewater was conducted in an upflow reactor at 55 °C. Results showed that the degree of
acidification decreased with the increase in chemical oxygen demand (COD) loading rate, from 60.8% at 4 g l−1 day−1 to 27.1% at 24 g l−1 day−1. Carbohydrate was readily degraded at all loading rates, but degradation of protein and lipid decreased with the increase
in loading rate. Most carbohydrate degradation occurred at the reactor bottom, whereas protein was degraded mainly after the
carbohydrate became depleted. The predominant acidification products were acetate, propionate, butyrate and ethanol, whereas
formate, i-butyrate, valerate, i-valerate, caproate, lactate, methanol, propanol and butanol were present in lesser quantities. The increase in loading rate
resulted in the increase of propionate and the decrease of acetate, but had little effect on ethanol and butyrate productions.
Only 2.5–8.8% of influent COD was converted to hydrogen and methane. The biomass yield was 0.30–0.43 mg VSS mg−1 COD.

Lactic acid production from xylose by the fungus Rhizopus oryzae 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Lignocellulosic biomass is considered nowadays to be an economically attractive carbohydrate feedstock for large-scale fermentation of bulk chemicals such as lactic acid. The filamentous fungus Rhizopus oryzae is able to grow in mineral medium with glucose as sole carbon source and to produce optically pure l(+)-lactic acid. Less is known about the conversion by R. oryzae of pentose sugars such as xylose, which is abundantly present in lignocellulosic hydrolysates. This paper describes the conversion of xylose in synthetic media into lactic acid by ten R. oryzae strains resulting in yields between 0.41 and 0.71 g g−1. By-products were fungal biomass, xylitol, glycerol, ethanol and carbon dioxide. The growth of R. oryzae CBS 112.07 in media with initial xylose concentrations above 40 g l−1 showed inhibition of substrate consumption and lactic acid production rates. In case of mixed substrates, diauxic growth was observed where consumption of glucose and xylose occurred subsequently. Sugar consumption rate and lactic acid production rate were significantly higher during glucose consumption phase compared to xylose consumption phase. Available xylose (10.3 g l−1) and glucose (19.2 g l−1) present in a mild-temperature alkaline treated wheat straw hydrolysate was converted subsequently by R. oryzae with rates of 2.2 g glucose l−1 h−1 and 0.5 g xylose l−1 h−1. This resulted mainly into the product lactic acid (6.8 g l−1) and ethanol (5.7 g l−1). 相似文献

Mineralization of pentachlorophenol in a contaminated soil by Pseudomonas sp UG30 cells encapsulated in κ-carrageenan 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

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 biodegradation of phenol by a pure culture of Pseudomonas putida was investigated in a continuously fed stirred-tank reactor, under aerobic conditions. The dilution rate was varied between
0.0174 h−1 and 0.278 h−1, covering a wide range of dissolved oxygen and the inhibition region of phenol. Through non-linear analysis of the data,
a dual-substrate growth kinetics, Haldane kinetics for phenol and Monod kinetics for oxygen, was derived with high correlation
coefficients. Respective biokinetic parameters were evaluated as μm = 0.569 h−1, K
p = 18.539 mg/l, K
i = 99.374 mg/l, K
o = 0.048 mg/l, Y
x/p = 0.521 g microorganism/g phenol and Y
x/o = 0.338 g microorganism/g oxygen, being in good agreement with other studies in the literature. Maintenance factors for both
phenol and oxygen were calculated for the first time for P. putida while the saturation coefficient for oxygen, K
o, was genuinely evaluated from the constructed model, not imported or adapted from other studies as reported in the literature.
All pertinent biokinetic parameters for P. putida have been calculated from continuous system data, which are most appropriate for use in continuous bioprocess applications.

Hydrogen production with high yield and high evolution rate by self-flocculated cells of Enterobacter aerogenes in a packed-bed reactor 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5

Continuous hydrogen gas evolution by self-flocculated cells of Enterobacter aerogenes, a natural isolate HU-101 and its mutant AY-2, was performed in a packed-bed reactor under glucose-limiting conditions in
a minimal medium. The flocs that formed during the continuous culture were retained even when the dilution rate was increased
to 0.9 h−1. The H2 production rate increased linearly with increases in the dilution rate up to 0.67 h−1, giving maximum H2 production rates of 31 and 58 mmol l−1 h−1 in HU-101 and AY-2 respectively, at a dilution rate of more than 0.67 h−1. The molar H2 yield from glucose in AY-2 was maintained at about 1.1 at dilution rates between 0.08 h−1 and 0.67 h−1, but it decreased rapidly at dilution rates more than 0.8 h−1.

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

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) productivity from continuous cultures of the marine microalga Isochrysis galbana was studied, taking into account the irradiance on the reactor surface, that is, the photolimitation/photoinhibition regime
to which the cells are exposed. Experiments were conducted under a wide variety of operating conditions. The dilution rate
ranged from 0.005 h−1 to 0.040 h−1 at five external irradiances (820, 1620, 2050, 2450 and 3270 μmol photons m−2 s−1) covering photolimited to photoinhibited growth. Under these conditions, the specific growth rate (μ) was found to be the
main factor influencing EPA content (ranging from 2.35% to 5.23% dryweight) and productivity (up to 0.88 mg l−1 h−1). The fatty acid content was not significantly affected by the external irradiance, but was influenced by the state of growth
of the microalga, depending on whether the light regime was photolimiting or photoinhibiting. It might be suggested that light
should no longer be considered an isolated factor affecting EPA synthesis, but an indirect influence through the photolimitation/photoinhibition
regime and growth rate. At a given dilution rate, EPA content and biomass concentration are lower under photoinhibiting external
irradiances than those corresponding to photolimiting conditions, and consequently EPA productivity decays. Since the effect
of photoinhibition is less marked at high biomass concentration, a strategy to optimize EPA productivity from microalgal cultures
could consist of reducing the dilution rate when the external irradiance increases above the phoinhibition threshold.

Effects of ethanol concentration and stripping temperature on continuous fermentation rate 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The operation of a pilot plant consisting of a 14-l fermentor, 10-cm packed column and condenser for continuous fermentation
and stripping of ethanol was stable for more than 100 days. The feed consisted of a non-sterile solution of 560 g/l glucose
with 100 g/l corn steep water. Fouling of the packing in the column with attached growth of yeast cells was controlled by
in situ washing at intervals of 3–6 days. A computer simulation of the pilot plant was developed and used to analyze the data.
The productivity of the continuous fermentor varied from 14 g ethanol to 17 g ethanol l−1 h−1. The yield was equal to the maximum theoretically possible: 0.51 g ethanol/g glucose consumed. Results are fit to linear
models for the effects of ethanol concentration on specific growth rate and cell yield, and for the effect of stripping temperature
on specific growth rate.
