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

The optimal reaction conditions for the conversion of oleic acid to 10-hydroxystearic acid by whole cells of Stenotrophomonas nitritireducens were: pH 7.5, 35°C, 0.05% (w/v) Tween 80, 20 g cells l−1, and 30 g oleic acid l−1 in an anaerobic atmosphere. Under these conditions, the cells produced 31.5 g 10-hydroxystearic acid l−1 over 4 h with a conversion yield of 100% (mol/mol) and a productivity of 7.9 g l−1 h−1, indicating that oleic acid was converted completely to 10-hydroxystearic acid, with no detectable byproduct. This is the
highest concentration, productivity, and yield of 10-hydroxystearic acid from oleic acid reported thus far. 相似文献

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.

Kinetics of kojic acid fermentation by Aspergillus flavus Link 44-1 using various sources of carbon [glucose, xylose, sucrose, starch, maltose, lactose or fructose] and nitrogen [NH4Cl, (NH4)2S2O8, (NH4)2NO3, yeast extract or peptone] were analyzed using models based on logistic and Luedeking–Piret equations. The highest kojic
acid production (39.90 g l−1) in submerged batch fermentation was obtained when 100 g l−1 glucose was used as a carbon source. Organic nitrogen sources such as peptone and yeast extract were favorable for kojic
acid production as compared to inorganic nitrogen sources. Yeast extract at 5 g l−1 was optimal. The optimal carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio for kojic acid fermentation was 93.3. In a resuspended cell system,
the rate of glucose conversion to kojic acid by cell-bound enzymes increased with increasing glucose concentration up to 70
g l−1, suggesting that the reaction followed the Michaelis–Menten enzyme kinetic model. The value of K
m and V
max for the reaction was 18.47 g l−1 glucose and 0.154 g l−1 h−1, respectively. Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology (2000) 25, 20–24.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) has been industrially produced using the gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus zooepidemicus. Large amount of lactic acid formation was one of the important factors that restricted cell growth and HA productivity and lowered the substrate to HA conversion efficiency in a fermentor. In this study, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesis genes (phbCAB) of Ralstonia eutropha were cloned from the plasmid pBHR68 and were inserted into the plasmid pEU308, an expression vector for gram-positive bacteria. The plasmid was transformed into S. zooepidemicus by electroporation. β-Ketothiolase (PhbA), acetoacetyl-CoA reductase (PhbB), and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase (PhbC) activity assays were carried out to demonstrate the expression of these genes. The PhbA and PhbB activities were 3.13 and 1.23 U mg−1, respectively. No PhbC activities were detected. In shake flask studies, there was no obvious difference between the wild-type and recombinant S. zooepidemicus harboring phbCAB genes in terms of lactic acid and HA formation. However, in fermentor studies, the recombinant produced only 40 g L−1 lactic acid and 7.5 g L−1 HA, whereas the wild type produced 65 g L−1 lactic acid and 5.5 g L−1 HA. These results suggested that expression of phbCAB genes in S. zooepidemicus could help regulate HA production metabolism. Because the lactic acid formation in S. zooepidemicus was sensitive to cellular oxidation/reduction potential, it is proposed that the PHB synthesis pathway could act as a regulator to adjust the cellular oxidation/reduction potential. This is the first study demonstrating that PHA synthesis related to energy and carbon metabolism could be employed as a pathway to regulate other cellular metabolism and possibly to regulate the production of other metabolic products. 相似文献

The final step of bacterial denitrification, the two-electron reduction of N2O to N2, is catalyzed by a multi-copper enzyme named nitrous oxide reductase. The catalytic centre of this enzyme is a tetranuclear
copper site called CuZ, unique in biological systems. The in vitro reconstruction of the activity requires a slow activation
in the presence of the artificial electron donor, reduced methyl viologen, necessary to reduce CuZ from the resting non-active
state (1CuII/3CuI) to the fully reduced state (4CuI), in contrast to the turnover cycle, which is very fast. In the present work, the direct reaction of the activated form of
Pseudomonas nautica nitrous oxide reductase with stoichiometric amounts of N2O allowed the identification of a new reactive intermediate of the catalytic centre, CuZ°, in the turnover cycle, characterized
by an intense absorption band at 680 nm. Moreover, the first mediated electrochemical study of Ps. nautica nitrous oxide reductase with its physiological electron donor, cytochrome c-552, was performed. The intermolecular electron transfer was analysed by cyclic voltammetry, under catalytic conditions,
and a second-order rate constant of (5.5 ± 0.9) × 105 M−1 s−1 was determined. Both the reaction of stoichiometric amounts of substrate and the electrochemical studies show that the active
CuZ° species, generated in the absence of reductants, can rearrange to the resting non-active CuZ state. In this light, new
aspects of the catalytic and activation/inactivation mechanism of the enzyme are discussed. 相似文献

Batch and continuous cultivation of Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens for the production of succinic acid from whey 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Batch and continuous cultivation of Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens were systematically studied for the production of succinic acid from whey. Addition of 2.5 g l−1 yeast extract and 2.5 g l−1 polypeptone per 10 g l−1 whey was most effective for succinic acid production from both treated and nontreated whey. When 20 g l−1 nontreated whey and 7 g l−1 glucose were used as cosubstrates, the yield and productivity of succinic acid reached at the end of fermentation were 95%
and 0.46 g (l h)−1, respectively. These values were higher than those obtained using nontreated whey alone [93% and 0.24 g (l h)−1 for 20 g l−1 whey]. Continuous fermentation of A. succiniciproducens at an optimal dilution rate resulted in the production of succinic acid with high productivity [1.35 g (l h)−1], high conversion yield (93%), and higher ratio of succinic acid to acetic acid (5.1:1) from nontreated whey.

The mycelia of Aspergillus niger, cultivated in a medium containing 45 g l−1 maltose, 66 g l−1 yeast extract, and 5 g l−1 K2HPO4 at 30°C and 200 rpm, were used as a biocatalyst in the glucosylation of ascorbic acid. Free mycelia from 3-day-old culture,
when used in a 6-h reaction with maltose as the acyl donor, gave 16.07 g l−1 ascorbic acid glucoside corresponding to a volumetric productivity of 2.68 g l−1 h−1 and a conversion of 67%. Mycelia from 3-day-old cultures were entrapped in calcium alginate beads and used as a catalyst
in the glucosylation of ascorbic acid. An ascorbic acid-to-maltose molar ratio of 1:9 was found to be optimum, and the conversion
reached 75% after 12 h. The concentration of ascorbic acid glucoside produced at this molar ratio was 17.95 g l−1, and the productivity was 1.5 g l−1 h−1. The biocatalyst was repeatedly used in a fixed bed bioreactor for the synthesis of ascorbic acid glucoside and approximately
17 g l−1 of ascorbic acid glucoside corresponding to a volumetric productivity of 1.42 g l−1 h−1 was produced in each use. The conversion was retained at 70% in each use. The entrapped mycelia also exhibited exceptionally
high reusability and storage stability. The product was purified to 85% by anion exchange and gel permeation chromatography
with a final yield of 75%. 相似文献

The saccharification process of swine manure by conventional and microwave-assisted acid pretreated were investigated using
cellulose enzymes, respectively. The optima for microwave-assisted acid pretreated swine manure is achieved when swine manure
of 50 g l−1 of substrate concentration and water amount 40 ml was pretreated by 4% H2SO4 concentration with 445 W microwave powers for 30 min at pretreatment period, and temperature 50 °C, enzyme loading 2 mg g−1 substrate, substrate concentration 5 g l−1 and initial medium pH 4.8 at enzymes hydrolysis period by microwave-assisted acid pretreated, respectively. The optimal conditions
by conventional acid pretreated is obtained when 50 g l−1 swine manure was submerged in 40 ml, 4% H2SO4 maintained at 130 °C for 3 h at pretreatment period, and temperature 45 °C, enzyme loading 2 mg g−1 substrate, substrate concentration 15 g l−1 and initial medium pH 5.2 at enzymes hydrolysis period, respectively. Under the optimum conditions microwave-assisted acid
pretreatment could achieve higher yield of reducing sugar, short reaction time, and lower energy consumption than from the
conventional acid pretreatment, which indicates that microwave-assisted acid pretreatment is more suitable for swine manure
pretreatment than by acid alone. 相似文献

CYP102A1 is an efficient medium- to long-chain fatty acid hydroxylase that is able to accept a wide range of non-natural substrates
which bear no resemblance to the natural ones. 4-Hexylbenzoic acid (HBA) and 4-nonyloxybenzoic acid (NOBA) were identified
as CYP102A1 substrates via screening studies using the BD Oxygen Biosensor System. Spectroscopic binding studies showed that
these two substrates bind in the active site of CYP102A1 with K
d values of 2.6 ± 0.1 μM for HBA and 1.9 ± 0.2 μM for NOBA. NADPH consumption rates in the presence of HBA and NOBA were 45 ± 1 min−1 and 61 ± 1 min−1, respectively. The coupling efficiency for NADPH was 57% for NOBA, while it was 77% for HBA. During whole-cell biotransformations,
HBA was converted into ω−1- and ω−2-hydroxyhexylbenzoic acid, whereas NOBA was oxidized to ω−2-hydroxynonyloxybenzoic acid
and ω−2,ω−4-dihydroxynonyloxybenzoic acid. HBA was used as a fatty acid mimic to compare whole-cell biotransformations with
cell-free extracts. Whole-cell biotransformations carried out in a biphasic system resulted in 86% conversion of 5 mM HBA,
producing 3.8 mM ω−2- and 0.5 mM ω−1-hydroxyhexylbenzoic acid in 4 h with a turnover number of 4.1 min−1, whereas 100% conversion of 5 mM HBA was obtained in 1 h with crude cell extracts and a cofactor regeneration system, giving
a turnover number of 10.5 min−1. 相似文献

The enzyme activities of Clostridium La 1 and Clostridium kluyveri involved in the stereospecific hydrogenation of ,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with hydrogen gas were measured. In C. La 1 the specific activities of hydrogenase and enoate reductase depended heavily on the growth phase and the composition of the medium. During growth in batch cultures on 70 mM crotonate the specific activity of hydrogenase increased and then dropped to about 10% of its maximum value, whereas the activity of enoate reductase reached its maximum in cells of the stationary phase. Under certain conditions during growth the activity ratio hydrogenase: enoate reductase changed from 120 to 1. Thus, the rate limiting enzyme for the hydrogenation can be either the hydrogenase or the enoate reductase, depending on the growth conditions of the cells.The specific activities of ferredoxin-NAD reductase and butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase increased 3-4-fold during growth on crotonate. By turbidostatic experiments it was shown that at constant input of high crotonate concentrations (200 mM) the enoate reductase activity was almost completely suppressed; it increased steadily with decreasing crotonate down to an input concentration of 35 mM.Glucose as carbon source led to high hydrogenase and negligible enoate reductase activities. The latter could be induced by changing the carbon source of the medium from glucose to crotonate. Tetracycline inhibited the formation of enoate reductase.A series of other carbon sources was tested. They can be divided into ones which result in high hydrogenase and rather low enoate reductase activities and others which cause the reverse effect.When the Fe2+ concentration in crotonate medium was growth limiting, cells with relatively high hydrogenase activity and very low enoate reductase activity in the stationary phase were obtained. At Fe2+ concentrations above 3·10-7 M enoate reductase increased and hydrogenase activity reached its minimum. The ratio of activities changes by a factor of about 200. In a similar way the dependence of enzyme activities on the concentration of sulfate was studied.In batch cultures of Clostridium kluyveri a similar opposite time course of enoate reductase and hydrogenase was found.The possible physiological significance of this behavior is discussed.Non Standard Abbreviations O.D.578

Industrial waste corn cob residue (from xylose manufacturing) without pretreatment was hydrolyzed by cellulase and cellobiase. The cellulosic hydrolysate contained 52.4 g l−1 of glucose and was used as carbon source for lactic acid fermentation by cells of Lactobacillus delbrueckii ZU-S2 immobilized in calcium alginate gel beads. The final concentration of lactic acid and the yield of lactic acid from glucose were 48.7 g l−1 and 95.2%, respectively, which were comparative to the results of pure glucose fermentation. The immobilized cells were quite stable and reusable, and the average yield of lactic acid from glucose in the hydrolysate was 95.0% in 12 repeated batches of fermentation. The suitable dilution rate of continuous fermentation process was 0.13 h−1, and the yield of lactic acid from glucose and the productivity were 92.4% and 5.746 g l−1 h−1, respectively. The production of lactic acid by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process was carried out in a coupling bioreactor, the final concentration of lactic acid was 55.6 g l−1, the conversion efficiency of lactic acid from cellulose was 91.3% and the productivity was 0.927 g l−1 h−1. By using fed-batch technique in the SSF process, the final concentration of lactic acid and the productivity increased to 107.6 g l−1 and 1.345 g l−1 h−1, respectively, while the dosage of cellulase per gram substrate decreased greatly. This research work should advance the bioconversion of renewable cellulosic resources and reduce environmental pollution. 相似文献

Gordonia alkanivorans S7 is an efficient degrader of fuel oil hydrocarbons that can simultaneously utilize oxygen and nitrate as electron acceptors.
The respiratory nitrate reductase (Nar) from this organism has been isolated using ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration,
and then preliminarily characterized. PAGE, SDS-PAGE and gel filtration chromatography revealed that Nar consisted of three
subunits of 103, 53 and 25 kDa. The enzyme was optimally active at pH 7.9 and 40°C. K
m values for NO3
− (110 μM) and for ClO3
− (138 μM) were determined for a reduced viologen as an electron donor. The purified Nar did not use NADH as the electron donor
to reduce nitrate or chlorate. Azide was a strong inhibitor of its activity. Our results imply that enzyme isolated from G. alkanivorans S7 is a respiratory membrane-bound nitrate reductase. This is the first report of purification of a nitrate reductase from
Gordonia species. 相似文献

Biomass and lactic acid production by a Lactobacillus plantarum strain isolated from Serrano cheese, a microorganism traditionally used in foods and recognized as a potent probiotic, was
optimized. Optimization procedures were carried out in submerged batch bioreactors using cheese whey as the main carbon source.
Sequential experimental Plackett–Burman designs followed by central composite design (CCD) were used to assess the influence
of temperature, pH, stirring, aeration rate, and concentrations of lactose, peptone, and yeast extract on biomass and lactic
acid production. Results showed that temperature, pH, aeration rate, lactose, and peptone were the most influential variables
for biomass formation. Under optimized conditions, the CCD for temperature and aeration rate showed that the model predicted
maximal biomass production of 14.30 g l−1 (dw) of L. plantarum. At the central point of the CCD, a biomass of 10.2 g l−1 (dw), with conversion rates of 0.10 g of cell g−1 lactose and 1.08 g lactic acid g−1 lactose (w/w), was obtained. These results provide useful information about the optimal cultivation conditions for growing
L. plantarum in batch bioreactors in order to boost biomass to be used as industrial probiotic and to obtain high yields of conversion
of lactose to lactic acid. 相似文献

Adventitious roots of Echinacea purpurea were cultured in airlift bioreactors (20 l, 500 l balloon-type, bubble bioreactors and 1,000 l drum-type bubble bioreactor)
using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 2 mg indole butyric acid l−1 and 50 g sucrose l−1 for the production of chichoric acid, chlorogenic acid and caftaric acid. In the 20 l bioreactor (containing 14 l MS medium)
a maximum yield of 11 g dry biomass l−1 was achieved after 60 days. However, the amount of total phenolics (57 mg g−1 DW), flavonoids (34 mg g−1 DW) and caffeic acid derivatives (38 mg g−1 DW) were highest after 50 days. Based on these studies, pilot-scale cultures were established and 3.6 kg and 5.1 kg dry biomass
were achieved in the 500 l and 1,000 l bioreactors, respectively. The accumulation of 5 mg chlorogenic acid g−1 DW, 22 mg chichoric acid g−1 DW and 4 mg caftaric acids g−1 DW were achieved with adventitious roots grown in 1,000 l bioreactors. 相似文献

Towards a high-yield bioconversion of ferulic acid to vanillin 总被引:13,自引:2,他引:11
Natural vanillin is of high interest in the flavor market. Microbial routes to vanillin have so far not been economical as
the medium concentrations achieved have been well below 1 g l−1. We have now screened microbial isolates from nature and known strains for their ability to convert eugenol or ferulic acid
into vanillin. Ferulic acid, in contrast to the rather toxic eugenol, was found to be an excellent precursor for the conversion
to vanillin, as doses of several g l−1 could be fed. One of the isolated microbes, later identified as Pseudomonas putida, very efficiently converted ferulic acid to vanillic acid. As vanillin was oxidized faster than ferulic acid, accumulation
of vanillin as an intermediate was not observed. A completely different metabolic flux was observed with Streptomyces setonii. During the metabolism of ferulic acid, this strain accumulated vanillic acid only to a level of around 200 mg l−1 and then started to accumulate vanillin as the principal metabolic overflow product. In shake-flask experiments, vanillin
concentrations of up to 6.4 g l−1 were achieved with a molar yield of 68%. This high level now forms the basis for an economical microbial production of vanillin
that can be used for flavoring purposes.

The esterification reaction between stearic acid and lactic acid using Rhizomucor miehei lipase and porcine pancreas lipase was optimized for maximum esterification using response surface methodology. The formation
of the ester was found to depend on three parameters namely enzyme/substrate ratio, lactic acid (stearic acid) concentration
and incubation period. The maximum esterification predicted by theoretical equations for both lipases matched well with the
observed experimental values. In the case of R. miehei lipase, stearoyl lactic acid ester formation was found to increase with incubation period and lactic acid (stearic acid)
concentrations with maximum esterification of 26.9% at an enzyme/substrate (E/S) ratio of 125 g mol−1. In the case of porcine pancreas lipase, esterification showed a steady increase with increase in incubation period and lactic
acid (stearic acid) concentration independent of the E/S ratios employed. In the case of PPL, a maximum esterification of
18.9% was observed at an E/S ratio of 25 g mol−1 at a lactic acid (stearic acid) concentration of 0.09 M after an incubation period of 72 h.

The gene encoding β-carotene 15,15′-monooxygenase from Mus musculus (house mouse), which cleaves β-carotene into two molecules of retinal, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The expressed enzyme was purified by His-tag affinity and resource Q ion exchange chromatography columns to a final specific
activity of 0.51 U mg−1. The optimum pH, temperature, substrate and detergent concentrations, and enzyme amount for effective retinal production
were determined to be 9.0, 37°C, 200 mg l−1 β-carotene, 5% (w/v) Tween 40, and 0.2 U ml−1 enzyme, respectively. Under optimum conditions, the recombinant enzyme produced 72 mg l−1 retinal in a 15-h reaction time, with a conversion yield of 36% (w/w). The specific activity of the purified enzyme and retinal
production obtained in the present study were the highest results ever reported. 相似文献

The influence of water activity and water content was investigated with farnesyl laurate synthesis catalyzed by Lipozyme RM
IM. Lipozyme RM IM activity depended strongly on initial water activity value. The best results were achieved for a reaction
medium with an initial water activity of 0.11 since it gives the best conversion value of 96.80%. The rate constants obtained
in the kinetics study using Ping-Pong-Bi-Bi and Ordered-Bi-Bi mechanisms with dead-end complex inhibition of lauric acid were
compared. The corresponding parameters were found to obey the Ordered-Bi-Bi mechanism with dead-end complex inhibition of
lauric acid. Kinetic parameters were calculated based on this model as follows: V
max = 5.80 mmol l−1 min−1 g enzyme−1, K
m,A = 0.70 mmol l−1 g enzyme−1, K
m,B = 115.48 mmol l−1 g enzyme−1, K
i = 11.25 mmol l−1 g enzyme−1. The optimum conditions for the esterification of farnesol with lauric acid in a continuous packed bed reactor were found
as the following: 18.18 cm packed bed height and 0.9 ml/min substrate flow rate. The optimum molar conversion of lauric acid
to farnesyl laurate was 98.07±0.82%. The effect of mass transfer in the packed bed reactor has also been studied using two
models for cases of reaction limited and mass transfer limited. A very good agreement between the mass transfer limited model
and the experimental data obtained indicating that the esterification in a packed bed reactor was mass transfer limited. 相似文献

Propionibacterium shermanii CDB 10014 is able to grow even at high oxygen transfer rates (24.0 mmol O2 l−1 h−1), in contrast to reports in the specialised literature, where all Propionibacteria are considered oxygen-sensitive microorganisms.
Propionic acid is the main product in anaerobiosis. The presence of oxygen in the system leads to an inhibition of propionic
acid production while acetic acid formation is enhanced. At high oxygen supply rates no propionic acid is produced and acetic
acid is the main product. Lactic acid is also produced in reasonable quantities (2.7 g l−1). The growth rate (μmax) is higher in anaerobiosis (0.19 h−1) than in aerobiosis (0.12–0.15 h−1). The cell yield is higher in aerobiosis (0.18–0.22 g g−1) than in anaerobiosis (0.14 g g−1) suggesting the oxidative metabolism of glucose by Propionibacterium shermanii CDB 10014. No corrinoid production was detected at oxygen transfer rates of more than 13.6 mmol l−1 h−1.
