The continuous quest for bacterial strains capable of accumulating polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) utilizing cheaper and renewable
carbon source prompted us to explore newer and diverse environments like the gut of termites. Among the bacterial strains
isolated from the gut of higher termite Macrotermes carbonarius, three strains were found to accumulate PHA, as observed by microscopic studies and PHA production experiments. Among them,
strain MC1 with rapid growth and higher PHA accumulation was selected for further studies. API kit-50 CHB and 16S rRNA gene
sequence analysis results indicated the strain to have 99% homology with Bacillus megaterium and Bacillus flexus.
Bacillus sp. MC1 was able to accumulate PHA during the growth phase utilizing different carbon sources like glucose, fructose, sodium
acetate, sodium valerate and 1,4-butanediol. Gas chromatography analysis of the polymer has shown it to be basically composed
of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). Growth associated PHB biosynthesis was best in the presence of sodium acetate with 39 wt%
after 16 h of cultivation. Though previous studies provided evidence confirming the presence of PHA producing bacteria in
termite gut, isolation and characterization of these strains in pure culture has not been documented yet. Presence of other
morphotypes in the termite gut with PHA like granular inclusions was evident from the transmission electron microscopy studies.
This is a novel report and shows the feasibility of using potent strains capable of utilizing lignocellulosic degradation
products as a renewable carbon source for the production of PHA in the future. 相似文献

Production of targeted poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) copolymers by glycogen accumulating organisms using acetate as sole carbon source 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
One of the main limitations in bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production with mixed cultures is the fact that primarily polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) homopolymers are generated from acetate as the main carbon source, which is brittle and quite fragile. The incorporation of different 3-hydroxyalkanoate (HA) components into the polymers requires the addition of additional carbon sources, leading to extra costs and complexity. In this study, the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB)-co-3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV)-co-3-hydroxy-2-methylvalerate (3HMV)), with 7-35C-mol% of 3HV fractions from acetate as the only carbon source was achieved with the use of glycogen accumulating organisms (GAOs). An enriched GAO culture was obtained in a lab-scale reactor operated under alternating anaerobic and aerobic conditions with acetate fed at the beginning of the anaerobic period. The production of PHAs utilizing the enriched GAO culture was investigated under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. A polymer content of 14-41% of dry cell weight was obtained. The PHA product accumulated by GAOs under anaerobic conditions contained a relatively constant proportion of non-3HB monomers (30+/-5C-mol%), irrespective of the amount of acetate assimilated. In contrast, under aerobic conditions, GAOs only produced 3HB monomers from acetate causing a gradually decreasing 3HV fraction during this aerobic feeding period. The PHAs were characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The data demonstrated that the copolymers possessed similar characteristics to those of commercially available poly(3HB-co-3HV) (PHBV) products. The PHAs produced under solely anaerobic conditions possessed lower melting points and crystallinity, higher molecular weights, and narrower molecular-weight distributions, compared to the aerobically produced polymers. This paper hence demonstrates the significant potential of GAOs to produce high quality polymers from a simple and cheap carbon source, contributing considerably to the growing research body on bacterial PHA production by mixed cultures. 相似文献

An acetate-fermenting strain of Methanosarcina was isolated from an acetate enrichment culture inoculated with anaerobic sludge from a waste treatment digestor. In pure culture, this organism fermented acetate in the absence of added hydrogen at rates comparable in magnitude to those found in digestor systems. This rate was significantly higher than previously obtained for pure cultures of this genus. Mineral components of yeast extract were highly stimulatory for cultures growing on methanol. Comparable stimulation was not observed for cultures growing on acetate. Labeling studies indicated that acetate was converted to methane and CO2 as predicted by previous studies on mixed cultures. Total oxidation or reduction of acetate was not the mechanism of conversion of acetate to methane by the pure culture. The ability of this strain to form colonies or to produce methane from acetate was apparently influenced by the choice of substrate and conditions used for growing the inoculum. 相似文献

Ilyobacter delafieldii produced an extracellular poly--hydroxybutyrate (PHB) depolymerase when grown on PHB; activity was not detected in cultures grown on 3-hydroxybutyrate, crotonate, pyruvate or lactate. PHB depolymerase activity was largely associated with the PHB granules (supplied as growth substrate), and only 16% was detected free in the culture supernatant. Monomeric 3-hydroxybutyrate was detectable as a product of depolymerase activity. The monomer was fermented to acetate, butyrate and H2. After activation by coenzyme A transfer from acetyl-CoA or butyryl-CoA, the resultant 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA was oxidized to acetoacetyl-CoA (producing NADH), followed by thiolytic cleavage to yield acetyl-CoA which was further metabolized to acetyl-phosphate, then to acetate with concomitant ATP production. The reducing equivalents (NADH) could be disposed of by the evolution of H2, or by a reductive pathway in which 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA was dehydrated to crotonyl-CoA and reduced to butyryl-CoA. In cocultures ofI. delafieldii withDesulfovibrio vulgaris on PHB, the H2 partial pressure was much lower than in the pure cultures, and sulfide was produced. Thus interspecies hydrogen transfer caused a shift to increased acetate and H2 production at the expense of butyrate. 相似文献

The importance of cobalt on the anaerobic conversion of methanol under thermophilic conditions was studied in three parallel lab-scale UASB-reactors and in cobalt-limited enriched cultures. Reactors R1, R2, and R3 were fed with methanol in a bicarbonate-buffered medium, supplied with iron and macronutrients: in R1 all metals were supplied (control), R2 was cobalt deprived, and in R3 all metals were deprived. In the 136 days of continuous experiment, a drop in performance was observed over the last 30 days. Particularly in R3, both methanol removal and methane formation dropped by 7.1% and 13.7%, respectively, compared to the control reactor, R1. When the medium was cobalt-deprived, acetate was not produced and, as a consequence, the enriched consortium lost its capacity to degrade acetate, indicating that the acetotrophic microorganisms were washed out. The addition of 0.5 microM of cobalt to a cobalt-deprived enrichment culture led to acetate accumulation. The results obtained in this study indicate that the mixed consortium requires a proper amount of cobalt, and its addition to a concentration of 0.1 microM leads to the highest methanol conversion rate, with methane as the sole end product from methanol. 相似文献

This work describes a method for on-line monitoring of biomass production, acetate consumption and intracellular polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) storage by mixed microbial cultures (MMC). The method is based on reliable and easily available on-line measurements, namely pH, dissolved oxygen, dissolved carbon dioxide, on-line respirometry and on-line titrimetric analysis. Biomass production refers to active biomass growth and also to the synthesis of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). The composition and kinetics of EPS synthesis has high variability depending on the culture enrichment protocol. Since the metabolism for EPS production is rather difficult to define, it was not possible to develop a reliable estimation model based on metabolic principles only. Instead, projection of latent structures (PLS) linear regression constrained by steady state carbon balance was employed. PHB concentration and biomass production rate were directly estimated by the PLS model, whereas acetate concentration was indirectly estimated through the carbon balance. The method was validated experimentally with data of four experiments carried out in a SBR. Accurate on-line estimations were obtained with regression coefficients (r2) of 0.986 and 0.980 for biomass concentration, 0.976 and 0.999 for PHB and 0.992 and 0.999 for acetate concentration in calibration and validation, respectively. These results confirm the ability of the proposed methodology for on-line monitoring of the state variables in PHB production process by MMC. 相似文献

A comprehensive study on the effects of different carbon sources during the bacterial enrichment on the removal performances of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) compounds when present as a mixture was conducted. Batch BTEX removal kinetic experiments were performed using cultures enriched with individual BTEX compounds or BTEX as a mixture or benzoate alone or benzoate–BTEX mixture. An integrated Monod-type non-linear model was developed and a ratio between maximum growth rate (μ max) and half saturation constant (Ks) was used to fit the non-linear model. A higher μ max/Ks indicates a higher affinity to degrade BTEX compounds. Complete removal of BTEX mixture was observed by all the enriched cultures; however, the removal rates for individual compounds varied. Degradation rate and the type of removal kinetics were found to be dependent on the type of carbon source during the enrichment. Cultures enriched on toluene and those enriched on BTEX mixture were found to have the greatest μ max/Ks and cultures enriched on benzoate had the least μ max/Ks. Removal performances of the cultures enriched on all different carbon sources, including the ones enriched on benzoate or benzoate–BTEX mixture were also improved during a second exposure to BTEX. A molecular analysis showed that after each exposure to the BTEX mixture, the cultures enriched on benzoate and those enriched on benzoate–BTEX mixture had increased similarities to the culture enriched on BTEX mixture. 相似文献

Organisms isolated from activated sludge and identified as Zoogloea ramigera accumulated large amounts of sudanophilic granules as the cultures flocculated. The granules were extracted by chloroform and precipitated with ether from acid-hydrolyzed cells. Identification of the sudanophilic granules as poly-β-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) was confirmed by physical, chemical, and infrared spectral analyses. The isolated polymer accounted for 12.0 to 50.5% of the dry weight of the cells. The polymer was not synthesized when the culture was grown in a growth-limiting concentration of organic substrate; it did accumulate when the culture was grown in medium enriched with carbon and energy sources. An increase in concentration of intracellular PHB was directly proportional to optical density and uptake of glucose. Aside from intracellular storage of PHB as endogenous metabolite, the accumulation of PHB is noted as a possible mechanism of flocculation. 相似文献

Dark fermentative hydrogen production from glucose by a thermophilic culture (33HL), enriched from an Icelandic hot spring sediment sample, was studied in two continuous-flow, completely stirred tank reactors (CSTR1, CSTR2) and in one semi-continuous, anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) at 58 degrees C. The 33HL produced H2 yield (HY) of up to 3.2 mol-H2/mol-glucose along with acetate in batch assay. In the CSTR1 with 33HL inoculum, H2 production was unstable. In the ASBR, maintained with 33HL, the H2 production enhanced after the addition of 6 mg/L of FeSO4 x H2O resulting in HY up to 2.51 mol-H2/mol-glucose (H2 production rate (HPR) of 7.85 mmol/h/L). The H2 production increase was associated with an increase in butyrate production. In the CSTR2, with ASBR inoculum and FeSO4 supplementation, stable, high-rate H2 production was obtained with HPR up to 45.8 mmol/h/L (1.1 L/h/L) and HY of 1.54 mol-H2/mol-glucose. The 33HL batch enrichment was dominated by bacterial strains closely affiliated with Thermobrachium celere (99.8-100%). T. celere affiliated strains, however, did not thrive in the three open system bioreactors. Instead, Thermoanaerobacterium aotearoense (98.5-99.6%) affiliated strains, producing H2 along with butyrate and acetate, dominated the reactor cultures. This culture had higher H2 production efficiency (HY and specific HPR) than reported for mesophilic mixed cultures. Further, the thermophilic culture readily formed granules in CSTR and ASBR systems. In summary, the thermophilic culture as characterized by high H2 production efficiency and ready granulation is considered very promising for H2 fermentation from carbohydrates. 相似文献

A poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB)-accumulating enrichment culture was obtained using activated sludge from a polyphosphate-accumulating reactor as inoculum. PHB accumulated by the enrichment culture significantly enhanced the survival of Artemia nauplii, infected with the virulent pathogen Vibrio campbellii LMG 21363. A strain was isolated from the enrichment culture, based on its ability to accumulate PHB, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing of the isolate revealed 99% sequence similarity to Brachymonas denitrificans AS-P1. The isolate, named PHB2, showed good PHB-accumulating activity (up to 32% of the cell dry weight). PHB accumulated by isolate PHB2 was able to protect Artemia completely from the V. campbellii strain. Our data indicate that PHB-accumulating bacteria, such as B. denitrificans PHB2, could be used as an an effective and economically interesting alternative strategy to control infections in aquaculture. 相似文献

The removal of phosphorus from wastewater is already widely applied. In many cases use is made of micro organisms capable of accumulating phosphorus as polyphosphate inside the cell. The main characteristic providing the competitive advantage to these polyphosphate accumulating bacteria is the capability to use polyphosphate, in the absence of external electron acceptors, as energy source for the uptake and storage of acetic acid in the form of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). The reduction equivalents for the formation of PHB are derived from the conversion of glycogen to PHB. Despite the widespread use and study of enhanced biological phosphorus removal no pure culture, having the above mentioned characteristics, has been isolated yet. All ecophysiological studies on these type of cultures have therefore been performed by enrichment cultures. This paper reviews the research on these type of organisms, and shows that it is possible to understand a complex microbial process on a metabolic level, both stoichiometrically and kinetically, without the availability of a pure culture. 相似文献

The effects of sulfate on the anaerobic degradation of lactate, propionate, and acetate by a mixed bacterial culture from an anaerobic fermenter fed with wine distillery waste water were investigated. Without sulfate and with both sulfate and molybdate, lactate was rapidly consumed, and propionate and acetate were produced; whereas with sulfate alone, only acetate accumulated. Propionate oxidation was strongly accelerated by the presence of sulfate, but sulfate had no effect on acetate consumption even when methanogenesis was inhibited by chloroform. The methane production was not affected by the presence of sulfate. Counts of lactate- and propionate-oxidizing sulfate-reducing bacteria in the mixed culture gave 4.5×108 and 1.5×106 viable cells per ml, respectively. The number of lactate-oxidizing fermentative bacteria was 2.2×107 viable cells per ml, showing that sulfate-reducing bacteria outcompete fermentative bacteria for lactate in the ecosystem studied. The number of acetoclastic methanogens was 3.5×108 viable cells per ml, but only 2.5×104 sulfate reducers were counted on acetate, showing that acetotrophic methanogens completely predominated over acetate-oxidizing sulfate-reducing bacteria. The contribution of acetate as electron donor for sulfate reduction in the ecosystem studied was found to be minor. 相似文献

Aims: Utilization of cheap and readily available agricultural residues as cheap carbon sources for poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) production by Halomonas boliviensis. Methods and Results: Wheat bran was hydrolysed by a crude enzyme preparation from Aspergillus oryzae NM1 to provide a mixture of reducing sugars composed mainly of glucose, mannose, xylose and arabinose. Growth of H. boliviensis using a mixture of glucose (0·75% w/v) and xylose (0·25% w/v) in the medium led to a PHB content and concentration of 45 wt% and 1 g l?1, respectively, after 30 h. A similar PHB concentration was attained when H. boliviensis was grown on wheat bran hydrolysate but with a lower PHB content, 34 wt%. In a batch cultivation mode in a fermentor, using 1·8% (w/v) reducing sugars, the maximum PHB accumulation by H. boliviensis was attained in 20 h, but was reduced to about 30 wt%. By adding butyric acid (0·8% v/v), sodium acetate (0·8% w/v) and decreasing the reducing sugars concentration to 1·0% w/v in the medium, PHB accumulation and concentration were increased to 50 wt% and 4 g l?1, respectively, after 20 h. Butyric acid and sodium acetate for PHB production could also be provided by anaerobic digestion of solid potato waste. Conclusions: Cheap and readily available agricultural residues can be used as substrates to produce PHB. The production of PHB by H. boliviensis using wheat bran hydrolysate as source of carbon is expected to reduce the production cost and motivates further studies. Significance and Impact of the Study: Large‐scale commercial utilization of PHB is mainly hampered by its high production cost. Carbon source for PHB production accounts up to 50% of the total production costs. Thus, the use of waste agricultural residues can substantially reduce the substrate cost (and in turn even provide value to the waste), and can downsize the production costs. This improves the market competitiveness. Studies on PHB production by moderate halophiles were recently initiated with H. boliviensis and findings show that it has potential for commercial exploitation. PHB production by H. boliviensis using wheat bran and potato waste is hence interesting. 相似文献

Summary After elucidating the composition of an anaerobic bacterial enrichment culture treating sulphite evaporator condensate (SEC), an effluent in the pulp and paper industry, we built up stepwise a defined mixed culture to convert the organic constituents of SEC (acetate, methanol, furfural) to methane and CO2. In batch cultures Desulfovibrio furfuralis and Methanobacterium bryantii degraded furfural in the absence of sulphate via inter-species H2 transfer yielding 0.42 mol methane and 1.87 mol acetate/mol furfural degraded. When Methanosarcina barkeri was added to this diculture, acetate was also transformed to methane yielding 0.93 mol methane/mol acetate converted. This consortium (D. furfuralis, Methanobacterium bryantii and Methanosarcina barkeri) degraded furfural in continuous culture (fixed-bed loop reactor) to 92%, but the conversion of acetate was only 67%. The conversion of acetate could be further improved to 86% by adding 10 mm sulphate to the medium. This resulted in a space time yield of 10.9 g chemical oxygen demand (COD)/1 per day for the overall conversion. With a consortium consisting of M. barkeri, Methanobrevibacter arboriphilus, Methanosaeta concilii and D. furfuralis, a synthetic SEC could be degraded at a space time yield of 13.35 g COD/1 per day. This defined culture degraded all the constituents of SEC at an efficiency of almost 90% compared to an enrichment culture under identical conditions.Offprint requests to: U. Ney 相似文献

Differences in carbon assimilation pathways and reducing power requirements among organisms are likely to affect the role of the storage polymer poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB). Previous researchers have demonstrated that PHB functions as a sole growth substrate in aerobic cultures enriched on acetate during periods of carbon deficiency, but it is uncertain how C(1) metabolism affects the role of PHB. In the present study, the type II methanotroph Methylocystis parvus OBBP did not replicate using stored PHB in the absence of methane, even when all other nutrients were provided in excess. When PHB-rich cultures of M. parvus OBBP were deprived of carbon and nitrogen for 48 h, they did not utilize significant amounts of stored PHB, and neither cell concentrations nor concentrations of total suspended solids changed significantly. When methane and nitrogen both were present, PHB and methane were consumed simultaneously. Cells with PHB had significantly higher specific growth rates than cells lacking PHB. The addition of formate (a source of reducing power) to PHB-rich cells delayed PHB consumption, but the addition of glyoxylate (a source of C(2) units) did not. This and results from other researchers suggest that methanotrophic PHB metabolism is linked to the supply of reducing power as opposed to the supply of C(2) units for synthesis. 相似文献

In this study, cutinase production by Thermobifida fusca WSH03-11 was investigated with mixed short-chain organic acids as co-carbon sources to demonstrate the possibility of producing
high value-added products from organic wastes. T. fusca WSH03-11 was cultured with different combinations of butyrate, acetate, and lactate with a purpose of increasing cutinase
activity. The optimum proportion of butyrate, acetate, and lactate was 4:1:3. In batch cultivation, acetate and lactate were
consumed quickly, while the consumption of butyrate was depressed in the presence of acetate with a concentration higher than
0.5 g/L. Based on these results, a two-stage batch and fed-batch cultivation strategy was proposed: a batch culture with acetate
and lactate as the co-carbon sources in the first 10 h, and then a fed-batch culture with a constant butyrate feeding rate
of 12 mL/h during 11∼20 h. By this two-stage cultivation strategy, cutinase activity, dry cell weight, and consumption rate
of butyrate were increased by 70%, 103.4%, and 4.3-fold, respectively, compared to those of the batch cultivation. These results
provided a novel and efficient way to produce high value-added products from organic wastes. 相似文献

Photosynthesis bacteria were isolated for hydrogen production from the dominant products of anaerobic fermentation, such as butyrate, acetate, and lactate.The process of screening was examined to obtain strains with high rates of hydrogen production. A procedure in whichj enrichment culture with nitrogen gas under illumination was followed by culture on agar plates with ammonium sulfate under aerobic and dark conditions was effective.We isolated hydrogen-producing photosynthesis bacteria from muddy water in the Tsukuba area with butyrate as a carbon source. Some strains that produced much hydrogen were found. The maximum rates per irradiated area by the immobilized cells of the selected strains were 321, 253, 348, and 337 μl/h/cm2 from butyrate, acetate, lactate, and the mixture of the above organic acids, respectively, at 10 klx at 30°C. A cell weight based rate of 151 μl/h/mg (dry weight) from lactate was achieved by one strain. 相似文献

Summary Poly--hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) and similar bacterial polyesters are promising candidates for the development of environment-friendly, totally biodegradable plastics. The use of methanol, one of the cheapest noble substrates available, may help to reduce the cost of producing such bioplastics. As a first step, a culture collection of 118 putative methylotrophic microorganisms was obtained from various soil samples without any laboratory enrichment step to favour culture diversity. The most promising culture was selected based on rapidity of growth and PHB accumulation and later identified as Methylobacterium extorquens. This isolate was obtained from soml contaminated regularly with used oil products for some 40 years. Concentrations of methanol greater than 8 g/l affected growth significantly and the methanol concentration was optimal at 1.7 g/l. PHB concentrations averaged 25–30% (w/v) of dry weight under non-optimized conditions. Controlling methanol concentration, using an open-loop configuration, led to biomass levels of 9–10 g/l containing 30–33% PHB while preventing methanol accumulation. The new isolate was also able to produce the co-polymer PHB/poly--hydroxyvalerate (PHV) using the mixture methanol + valerate. The PHV-to-PHB ratio was about 0.2 at the end of the fermentation. An average molecular mass varying between 2 and 3 × 105 Da was obtained for three PHB samples using two different measurement methods.Publication number NRCC No. 33672

Lactic acid-producing bacteria are important in many fermentations, such as the production of biobased plastics. Insight in the competitive advantage of lactic acid bacteria over other fermentative bacteria in a mixed culture enables ecology-based process design and can aid the development of sustainable and energy-efficient bioprocesses. Here we demonstrate the enrichment of lactic acid bacteria in a controlled sequencing batch bioreactor environment using a glucose-based medium supplemented with peptides and B vitamins. A mineral medium enrichment operated in parallel was dominated by Ethanoligenens species and fermented glucose to acetate, butyrate and hydrogen. The complex medium enrichment was populated by Lactococcus, Lactobacillus and Megasphaera species and showed a product spectrum of acetate, ethanol, propionate, butyrate and valerate. An intermediate peak of lactate was observed, showing the simultaneous production and consumption of lactate, which is of concern for lactic acid production purposes. This study underlines that the competitive advantage for lactic acid-producing bacteria primarily lies in their ability to attain a high biomass specific uptake rate of glucose, which was two times higher for the complex medium enrichment when compared to the mineral medium enrichment. The competitive advantage of lactic acid production in rich media can be explained using a resource allocation theory for microbial growth processes. 相似文献
