β-Peptides and their derivates are usually stable to proteolysis and have an increased half-life compared with α-peptides. Recently, β-aminopeptidases were described as a new enzyme class that enabled the enzymatic degradation and formation of β-peptides. As an alternative to the existing chemical synthesis routes, the aim of the present work was to develop a whole-cell biocatalyst for the synthesis and production of β-peptides using this enzymatic activity. For the optimization of the reaction system we chose the commercially relevant β, α-dipeptide l -carnosine ( β-alanine-l -histidine) as model product. We were able to show that different recombinant yeast and bacteria strains, which overexpress a β-peptidase, could be used directly as whole-cell biocatalysts for the synthesis of l -carnosine. By optimizing relevant reaction conditions for the best-performing recombinant Escherichia coli strain, such as pH and substrate concentrations, we obtained high l -carnosine yields of up to 71%. Long-time as well as biocatalyst recycling experiments indicated a high stability of the developed biocatalyst for at least five repeated batches. Application of the recombinant E. coli in a fed-batch process enabled the accumulation of l -carnosine to a concentration of 3.7 g l −1. 相似文献

Halomonas has been developed as a platform for the next generation industrial biotechnology allowing open and nonsterile growth without microbial contamination under a high-salt concentration and alkali pH. To reduce downstream cost associated with continuous centrifugation and salt containing wastewater treatment, Halomonas campaniensis strain LS21 was engineered to become self-flocculating by knocking out an etf operon encoding two subunits of an electron transferring flavoprotein in the predicted electron transfer chain. Self-flocculation could be attributed to the decrease of the surface charge and increase of the cellular hydrophobicity resulted from deleted etf. A wastewaterless fermentation strategy based on the self-flocculating H. campaniensis was developed for growth and the production of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) as an example. Most microbial cells flocculated and precipitated to the bottom of the bioreactor within 1 min after stopping the aeration and agitation. The supernatant can be used again without sterilization or inoculation for the growth of the next batch after collecting the precipitated cell mass. The wastewaterless process was conducted for four runs without generating wastewater. PHB accumulation by the self-flocculent strain was enhanced via promoter and ribosome binding site optimizations, the productivities of cell dry weight and PHB were increased from 0.45 and 0.18 g·L −1·hr −1 for the batch process compared to 0.82 and 0.33 g·L −1·hr −1 for the wastewaterless continuous process, respectively. This has clearly demonstrated the advantages of the wastewaterless process in that it not only reduces wastewater but also increases cell growth and product formation efficiency in a given period of time. 相似文献

Chemical synthesis of lactones from cycloalkanes is a multi‐step process challenged by limitations in reaction efficiency (conversion and yield), atom economy (by‐products) and environmental performance. A heterologous pathway comprising novel enzymes with compatible kinetics was designed in Pseudomonas taiwanensis VLB120 enabling in‐vivo cascade for synthesizing lactones from cycloalkanes. The respective pathway included cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CHX), cyclohexanol dehydrogenase (CDH), and cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHXON) from Acidovorax sp. CHX100. Resting (non‐growing) cells of the recombinant host P. taiwanensis VLB120 converted cyclohexane, cyclohexanol, and cyclohexanone to ?‐caprolactone at 22, 80–100, and 170 U gCDW?1, respectively. Cyclohexane (5 mM) was completely converted with a selectivity of 65% for ?‐caprolactone formation in 2 hr without accumulation of intermediate products. Promiscuity of the whole‐cell biocatalyst gave access to analogous lactones from cyclooctane and cyclodecane. A total product concentration of 2.3 g L?1 and a total turnover number of 36,720 was achieved over 5 hr with a biocatalyst concentration of 6.8 gCDW L?1. 相似文献

The biotechnological production of succinate bears serious potential to fully replace existing petrochemical approaches in the future. In order to establish an economically viable bioprocess, obtaining high titre, yield and productivity is of central importance. In this study, we present a straightforward engineering approach for anaerobic succinate production with Vibrio natriegens, consisting of essential metabolic engineering and optimization of process conditions. The final producer strain V. natriegens Δ lldh Δ dldh Δ pfl Δ ald Δ dns:: pycCg (Succ1) yielded 1.46 mol of succinate per mol of glucose under anaerobic conditions (85% of the theoretical maximum) and revealed a particularly high biomass-specific succinate production rate of 1.33 g Succ g CDW−1 h −1 compared with well-established production systems. By applying carbon and redox balancing, we determined the intracellular flux distribution and show that under the tested conditions the reductive TCA as well as the oxidative TCA/glyoxylate pathway contributed to succinate formation. In a zero-growth bioprocess using minimal medium devoid of complex additives and expensive supplements, we obtained a final titre of 60.4 g Succ l −1 with a maximum productivity of 20.8 g Succ l −1 h −1 and an overall volumetric productivity of 8.6 g Succ l −1 h −1 during the 7 h fermentation. The key performance indicators (titre, yield and productivity) of this first engineering approach in V. natriegens are encouraging and compete with costly tailored microbial production systems. 相似文献

A strain NQ1, which showed efficient asymmetric reduction of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) acetophenone (BTAP) to enantiopure ( S)-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethanol (( S)-BTPE), which is the key intermediate for the synthesis of a receptor antagonist and antidepressant, was isolated from a soil sample. Based on its morphological and internal transcribed spacer sequence, the strain NQ1 was identified to be Rhodotorula mucilaginosa NQ1. Some key reaction parameters involved in the bioreduction catalyzed by whole cells of R. mucilaginosa NQ1 were subsequently optimized, and the optimized conditions for the synthesis of ( S)-BTPE were determined to be as follows: 5·0 ml phosphate buffer (200 mmol l −1, pH 7·0), 80 mmol l −1 of BTAP, 250 g (wet weight) l −1 of resting cell, 35 g l −1 of glucose and a reaction for 18 h at 30°C and 180 rev min −1. The strain NQ1 exhibited a best yield of 99% and an excellent enantiomeric excess of 99% for the preparation of ( S)-BTPE under the above optimal conditions, and could also asymmetrically reduce a variety of bulky prochiral carbonyl compounds to their corresponding optical hydroxyl compound with excellent enantioselectivity. These results indicated that R. mucilaginosa NQ1 had a good capacity to reduce BTAP to its corresponding ( S)-BTPE, and might be a new potential biocatalyst for the production of valuable chiral hydroxyl compounds in industry. 相似文献

Immobilization of Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC7469 in poly(vinyl alcohol)/calcium alginate (PVA/Ca-alginate) matrix using “freezing–thawing” technique for application in lactic acid (LA) fermentation was studied in this paper. PVA/Ca-alginate beads were made from sterile and non-sterile PVA and sodium alginate solutions. According to mechanical properties, the PVA/Ca-alginate beads expressed a strong elastic character. Obtained PVA/Ca-alginate beads were further applied in batch and repeated batch LA fermentations. Regarding cell viability, L. rhamnosus cells survived well rather sharp immobilization procedure and significant cell proliferation was observed in further fermentation studies achieving high cell viability (up to 10.7 log CFU g−1) in sterile beads. In batch LA fermentation, the immobilized biocatalyst was superior to free cell fermentation system (by 37.1%), while the highest LA yield and volumetric productivity of 97.6% and 0.8 g L−1 h−1, respectively, were attained in repeated batch fermentation. During seven consecutive batch fermentations, the biocatalyst showed high mechanical and operational stability reaching an overall productivity of 0.78 g L−1 h−1. This study suggested that the “freezing–thawing” technique can be successfully used for immobilization of L. rhamnosus in PVA/Ca-alginate matrix without loss of either viability or LA fermentation capability. 相似文献

Synthesis of lactulose with crosslinked aggregates of Bacillus circulans β-galactosidase (CLAGs) has been compared in batch and repeated-batch operation for the first time. The effect of the type of the precipitating agent and its concentration, the crosslinker concentration and the time of crosslinking were evaluated for their effect on the parameters: immobilization yield, specific activity and thermal stability of the biocatalysts. The type and concentration of the precipitating agent were the variables that produced a significant variation in the immobilization parameters of the biocatalyst. CLAGs were obtained with a specific activity of 7790 IU H⋅g −1 at an immobilization yield of 46.2 % using 50 % v/v of propanol as precipitating agent, 5.5 g glutarldehyde g protein−1 for crosslinking and 1 h of crosslinking time. This biocatalyst was more stable than the free enzyme with a stabilization factor of 11.3 h at 50 °C. Highest yield of lactulose synthesis with CLAGs was 0.42 g g −1 for a fructose/lactose molar ratio of 8. Repeated-batch operation allowed a significant increase in lactulose production per unit mass of biocatalyst and in cumulative productivity with respect to batch operation, yielding an efficiency of biocatalyst use of 2.43 kg lactulose g biocatalyst protein−1. 相似文献

Production of pyruvate from lactate through biocatalysis is a valuable process for its simple composition of reaction system and convenience of recovery. Biocatalyst with lactate-induced NAD-independent lactate dehydrogenases (iLDHs) can effectively catalyze lactate into pyruvate. To reduce the cost of biocatalyst preparation caused by indispensable lactate addition, the mutants with constitutive iLDH of Pseudomonas sp. XP-M2 were screened. Mutant XP-LM exhibited high iLDHs activities in minimal salt medium with cheap substrate glucose as the carbon source. The biocatalyst (8.2 g dry cell weight l −1) containing 169.8 U l −1 l-iLDH was prepared with 20 g 1 −1 glucose. The cost-effective biocatalyst prepared from the mutant XP-LM could efficiently catalyze lactate into pyruvate with high yield (0.961 mol mol −1). Based on the different thermostability of d-iLDH and l-iLDH in the biocatalyst, whole cells of the strain might also have the potential in production of pyruvate and d-lactate from racemic lactate. 相似文献

We describe the biocatalytic production of 3‐phenylcatechol from 2‐phenylphenol with the whole cell biocatalyst Escherichia coli JM101 (pHBP461). The recombinant produces 2‐hydroxybiphenyl 3‐monooxygenase, an enzyme from Pseudomonas azelaica HBP1. This enzyme introduces a hydroxyl‐group at the C 3‐position of a variety of 2‐substituted phenols, such as 2‐phenylphenol. This permits the biocatalytic production of 3‐substituted catechols, which are difficult to synthesize chemically. Both 2‐phenylphenol and 3‐phenylcatechol are highly toxic to E. coli. The toxic effects of 2‐phenylphenol were minimized by feeding this substrate to the reactor at a rate slightly below the maximum biooxidation rate. As a result, the substrate concentration in the reactor remained below toxic levels during the bioconversion. The toxic product formed was removed by continuous adsorption on the solid resin Amberlite™ XAD‐4. To this end the reaction mixture, containing the biocatalyst, was pumped continuously through an external loop with a fluidized bed of the resin. This resin efficiently and quantitatively adsorbed both 3‐phenylcatechol and the remaining trace amounts of 2‐phenylphenol. Consequently, the concentrations of these compounds were kept at subtoxic levels (below 100 mg L −1) and gram amounts of 3‐phenylcatechol were produced with space–time yields of up to 0.39 g L −1 h −1. The product was recovered from the resin by acidic methanol elution and purified by recrystallization from n‐hexane resulting in overall yields exceeding 59%. The optimized system served as a surprisingly simple and efficient integrated process, that allows the bioconversion of toxic substrates to toxic products with whole cell biocatalysts. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

There is interest in the production of non-reducing carbohydrates due to their potential application in various industrial
fields, particularly the food industry. In this paper, we describe the development of an immobilised cell bioprocess for the
synthesis of non-reducing maltodextrins at high temperatures. The trehalosyl-dextrins-forming enzyme (TDFE) isolated from
the thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus (strain MT4), was recently expressed at high yields in Escherichia coli (strain Rb-791). Here, we evaluate different matrices, such as polyacrylamide gel, crude egg white, chitosan and calcium
alginate for their effectiveness in immobilising whole recombinant E. coli cells subjected to prior thermal permeabilisation. Calcium-alginate based gels formed a solid biocatalyst with a good activity
yield and the best enzymatic stability at the operating temperature (75°C). Therefore, these beads were used to pack a glass
column reactor to perform the bioconversion of interest. Optimal operating parameters were defined in relation to the substrate
stream flow-rate and the substrate-to-biocatalyst ratio. The production of trehalosylmaltotetraose from maltohexaose reached
equilibrium with a constant of about 2.6 at 75°C. The bioreactor was exploited for production of trehalosylmaltodextrins from
a commercial mixture of maltodextrins, achieving a productivity of 106.5 mg ml −1 h −1 (g biocatalyst) −1 with ~40% conversion when using a 30% (w/v) solution. 相似文献

Ellagic acid is a high-value bioactive compound that is used in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. The aim of this work was to develop a continuous system for ellagic acid production. Ellagitannase produced by solid-state fermentation and attached to polyurethane foam particles was used as a biocatalyst in a continuous bioreactor for the hydrolysis of ellagitannins from pomegranate by-product. A packed-bed reactor containing the biocatalyst (22.22 Units per gram of dry solid, U gds −1) was fed with a pomegranate ellagitannins solution (0.1%, w/v) at a flow rate of 0.27 mL min −1 at 60 °C. The bioreactor completed several biotransformations while maintaining the hydrolysis rate (60%) with a half-life of 10 continuous cycles of ellagic acid production. Volumetric productivity and ellagic acid yield were 1.09 g L −1 h −1 and 235.89 mg g −1 of pomegranate ellagitannins during the first 70 min of hydrolysis, respectively. The developed biocatalyst showed good operational and mechanical stability and may be successfully used for ellagitannin hydrolysis in a continuous system. This is the first report of high-yield continuous production of ellagic acid using an auto-immobilized enzyme. 相似文献

A new bioprocess for the synthesis of lactosucrose was studied using a covalently immobilized β-galactosidase on macrospheres of chitosan. The effects of temperature and pH on the production of lactosucrose and other oligosaccharides were evaluated. At 30 °C and pH 7.0, the maximum concentration of lactosucrose reached to 79 g L −1. The change of the reaction conditions allowed to modify the qualitative profile of the final products without quantitative change in the total of oligosaccharides produced. At pH 7 and 30 °C, products profile was 79 g L −1 of lactosucrose, 37 g L −1 of galactooligosaccharides and 250 g L −1 of total oligosaccharides, while at pH 5 and 64 °C the concentrations for the same compounds were 40, 62 and 250 g L −1, respectively. The immobilization increased the thermal stability up to 260-fold. Using 300 g L −1 of sucrose and 300 g L −1 of lactose, and 8.5 mg of chitosan mL −1, 30 cycles of reuse were performed and the biocatalyst kept the maximal lactosucrose synthesis. These results fulfill some important aspects for the enzyme immobilization and oligosaccharides synthesis: the simplicity of the protocols, the high operational stability of the enzyme and the possibility of driving the final products. 相似文献

The present study demonstrates a process engineering strategy to achieve high butanol titer and productivity from wild type Clostridium acetobutylicum MTCC 11274. In the first step, two different media were optimized with the objectives of maximizing the biomass and butanol productivity, respectively. In the next step, attributes of these two media compositions were integrated to design a two-stage fed-batch process which resulted in maximal butanol productivity of 0.55 g L −1 h −1 with titer of 13.1 g L −1. Further, two-stage fed-batch process along with combinatorial use of magnesium limitation and calcium supplementation resulted in the highest butanol titer and productivity of 16.5 g L −1 and 0.59 g L −1 h −1, respectively. Finally, integration of the process with gas stripping and modulation of feeding duration resulted in a cumulative butanol titer of 54.3 g L −1 and productivity of 0.58 g L −1 h −1. The strategy opens up possibility of developing a viable butanol bioprocess. © 2019 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol. Prog., 35: e2771, 2019. 相似文献

Despite the proven therapeutic role of capsaicin in human health, its usage is still hampered by its high pungency. In this sense, nonpungent capsaicin analogues as olvanil are a feasible alternative to the unpleasant sensations produced by capsaicin while maintaining a similar pharmacological profile. Olvanil can be obtained by a lipase-catalyzed chemoenzymatic process. In the present work, recombinant Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) was expressed in Pichia pastoris and subsequently immobilized by cross-linked enzyme aggregate (CLEA) methodology for the synthesis of olvanil. The CALB-CLEAs were obtained directly from the fermentation broth of P. pastoris without any purification step in order to assess the role of the contaminant proteins of the crude extract as co-feeders. The CALB-CLEAs were also bioimprinted to enhance the catalytic performance in olvanil synthesis. When CALB was precipitated with isopropanol, the obtained CALB-CLEAs exhibited the highest activity in the synthesis of olvanil, regardless of the glutaraldehyde concentration. The maximum product synthesis was found at 72 hr obtaining 6.8 g L −1 of olvanil with a reaction yield of 16%. When CALB was bioimprinted with olvanil, the synthesis was enhanced 1.3 times, reaching 10.7 g L −1 of olvanil at 72 hr of reaction with a reaction yield of 25%. Scanning electron microscopy images indicated different morphologies of the CLEAs depending on the precipitating agent and the template used for bioimprinting. Recombinant CALB-CLEAs obtained directly from the fermentation broth are a suitable alternative to commercial enzymatic preparations for the synthesis of olvanil in organic medium. 相似文献

The application of enzymes as biocatalysts in industrial processes has great potential due to their outstanding stereo-, regio- and chemoselectivity. Using autodisplay, enzymes can be immobilized on the cell surface of Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli. In the present study, the surface display of an alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and a cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO) on E. coli was investigated. Displaying these enzymes on the surface of E. coli resulted in whole-cell biocatalysts accessible for substrates without further purification. An apparent maximal reaction velocity VMAX(app) for the oxidation of cyclohexanol with the ADH whole-cell biocatalysts was determined as 59.9 mU ml −1. For the oxidation of cyclohexanone with the CHMO whole-cell biocatalysts a VMAX(app) of 491 mU ml −1 was obtained. A direct conversion of cyclohexanol to ε-caprolactone, which is a known building block for the valuable biodegradable polymer polycaprolactone, was possible by combining the two whole-cell biocatalysts. Gas chromatography was applied to quantify the yield of ε-caprolactone. 1.12 mM ε-caprolactone was produced using ADH and CHMO displaying whole-cell biocatalysts in a ratio of 1:5 after 4 h in a cell suspension of OD 578nm 10. Furthermore, the reaction cascade as applied provided a self-sufficient regeneration of NADPH for CHMO by the ADH whole-cell biocatalyst. 相似文献

The potential biotechnological applications for the Ophiostoma piceae sterol esterase (OPE) are conditioned to the availability of high enzyme amounts at low prices. This enzyme is a versatile biocatalyst with different biotechnological applications. In this work a systematic study on its heterologous production in different Pichia pastoris strains and operational strategies is presented. The best results were obtained using an AOX1 defective yeast strain in a fed‐batch bioprocess using methanol as inducer substrate at a set point of 2.5 g L ?1 and sorbitol as cosubstrate by means of a preprogramed exponential feeding rate at a μ = 0.02 h ?1, reaching 30 U mL ?1 of enzyme and a volumetric productivity of 403.5 U L ?1 h ?1. These values are twofold higher than those obtained with a Mut + phenotype using methanol a sole carbon source. OPE was the main protein secreted by the yeast, 55% for Mut s versus 25% for Mut +. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol. Prog., 30:1012–1020, 2014 相似文献

A comprehensive approach of bioprocess design at various levels was used to optimize microbial production of extracellular
fructofuranosidase, important as biocatalyst to derive fructooligosaccharides with broad application in food or pharmaceutical
industry. For production, the recombinant strain Aspergillus niger SKAn1015 was used, which expresses the fructofuranosidase encoding gene suc1 under control of a strong constitutive promoter. In a first screening towards an optimized medium, glucose, nitrate, Fe 2+, and Mn 2+ were identified as beneficial for production. A minimal medium with optimized concentration of these key nutrients, obtained
by central composite design experiments and quadratic modelling, provided a threefold increased fructofuranosidase activity
in the culture supernatant (400 U/mL) as compared to the originally described medium. Utilizing the optimized medium, the
process was then transferred from shake flask into a fed-batch-operated bioreactor. Hereby, the intended addition of talc
microparticles allowed engineering the morphology of A. niger into a highly active mycelial form, which strongly boosted production. Fructofuranosidase production was highly specific
as confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis. The secreted enzyme activity of 2,800 U/mL,
corresponding to about 3 g/L of fructofuranosidase, achieved by the microparticle-enhanced fed-batch process, is tenfold higher
than that of any other process reported so far, so that the presented bioprocess strategy appears as a milestone towards future
industrial fructofuranosidase production. 相似文献

This paper describes the kinetic characterization of a recombinant whole-cell biocatalyst for the stereoselective Baeyer–Villiger type oxidation of bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one to its corresponding regio-isomeric lactones (−)-(1 S,5 R)-2-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-6-en-3-one and (−)-(1 R,5 S)-3-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-6-en-2-one. Escherichia coli TOP10 [pQR239], expressing cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO) from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus (NCIMB 9871), was shown to be suitable for this biotransformation since it expressed CHMO at a high level, was simple to produce, contained no contaminating lactone hydrolase activity and allowed the intracellular recycle of NAD(P)H necessary for the biotransformation. A small-scale biotransformation reactor (20 ml) was developed to allow rapid collection of intrinsic kinetic data. In this system, the optimized whole-cell biocatalyst exhibited a significantly lower specific lactone production activity (55–60 μmol min −1 g −1 dry weight) than that of sonicated cells (500 μmol min −1 g −1 dry weight). It was shown that this shortfall was comprised of a difference in the pH optima of the two biocatalyst forms and mass transfer limitations of the reactant and/or product across the cell barrier. Both reactant and product inhibition were evident. The optimum ketone concentration was between 0.2 and 0.4 g l −1 and at product concentrations above 4.5–5 g l −1 the specific activity of the whole cells was zero. These results suggest that a reactant feeding strategy and in situ product removal should be considered in subsequent process design. 相似文献

In this study, a non-sterile (open) continuous fermentation (OCF) process with no-carbon loss was developed to improve lactic acid (LA) productivity and operational stability from the co-utilization of lignocellulose-derived sugars by thermophilic Enterococcus faecium QU 50. The effects of different sugar mixtures on LA production were firstly investigated in conventional OCF at 50°C, pH 6.5 and a dilution rate of 0.20 hr −1. The xylose consumption ratio was greatly lower than that of glucose in fermentations with glucose/xylose mixtures, indicating apparent carbon catabolite repression (CCR). However, CCR could be efficiently eliminated by feeding solutions containing the cellobiose/xylose mixture. In OCF at a dilution rate ca. 0.10 hr −1, strain QU 50 produced 42.6 g L −1 of l -LA with a yield of 0.912 g g −1-consumed sugars, LA yield of 0.655 g g −1 based on mixed sugar-loaded, and a productivity of 4.31 g L −1 hr −1 from simulated energy cane hydrolyzate. In OCF with high cell density by cell recycling, simultaneous and complete co-utilization of sugars was achieved with stable LA production at 60.1 ± 3.25 g L −1 with LA yield of 0.944 g g −1-consumed sugar and LA productivity of 6.49 ± 0.357 g L −1 hr −1. Besides this, a dramatic increase in LA yield of 0.927 g g −1 based on mixed sugar-loaded with prolonged operational stability for at least 500 hr (>20 days) was established. This robust system demonstrates an initial green step with a no-carbon loss under energy-saving toward the feasibility of sustainable LA production from lignocellulosic sugars. 相似文献
