Optimization of fermentation conditions for preparation of polygalacturonic acid transeliminase by Erwinia carotovora IFO3830

This paper is concerned with optimization of the fermentation conditions for preparation of alkaline pectin lyase (poly-galacturonic acid trans-eliminase, PATE) by Erwinia carotovora IFO3830 (E.C.IFO3830). The orthogonal matrix method was adopted as the experimental design method for media. The effects of media composition on the growth rate of E.C.IFO3830 are in the order of pectin > KH(2)PO(4)/Na(2)HPO(4) > MgSO(4) > (NH(4))(2)SO(4) > glucose > L-glutamate sodium, and those on PATE activity are in the order of glucose > pectin > L-glutamate sodium > KH(2)PO(4)/Na(2)HPO(4) > MgSO(4) > (NH(4))(2)SO(4). The strain of E.C.IFO3830 grows quickly and easily near an initial pH of 7.0, and especially at the alkaline range of pH 7.0-8.0. The growth rate profiles indicate that E.C.IFO3830 grows very quickly; its generation time t(1/2) is about 0.2 h. The appropriate fermentation period is about 10-20 h for a high level productivity of biomass and 25-35 h for high productivity of PATE enzyme.

Fermentation pattern ofZymomonas mobilis strains on different substrates—a comparative study

The optimum conditions (pH and initial sugar concentration) of fermentation for the production of ethanol by 4 strains ofZymomonas mobilis (ATCC 10988, ATCC 12526, NRRL B 4286 and IFO 13756) were studied. An initial sugar concentration of 15 % (w/v) at pH 7.0 was found to be optimal for the first two strains and 20 % (w/v) initial sugar at pH 7.0 was found to be optimal for the last two strains. The fermentation pattern of these strains on synthetic medium, cane juice and molasses were compared. Strain NRRL B 4286 showed maximum ethanol production on synthetic medium while on cane juice ATCC 10988 and ATCC 12526 performed well. However, all the strains fermented molasses poorly.     

Optimization of fermentation medium and conditions for mycelial growth and water-soluble exo-polysaccharides production by Isaria farinosa B05

The optimal fermentation medium and conditions for mycelial growth and water-soluble exo-polysaccharides production by Isaria farinosa B05 were investigated. The medium components and fermentation conditions were optimized according to the one at a time method, while the concentration of medium components was determined by the orthogonal matrix method. The results showed that the optimal fermentation medium was as follows: sucrose 3.5% (w/v), peptone 0.5%, yeast extract 0.2%, K(2)HPO(4) 0.1%, and MgSO(4) 0.05%. The suitable fermentation conditions were as follows: initial pH 7.0, temperature 25 degrees C, medium volume 75 mL/250 mL, inoculum volume 5% (v/v), time 5d. In such optimal nutrition and environmental conditions, the maximal mycelial yield was 2.124 g/100 mL after 4 day's fermentation, while maximal water-soluble exo-polysaccharides production reached 2.144 g/L after 5 day's fermentation.     

Production of l-cystathionine using bacterial cystathionine γ-sythase

Summary The reaction conditions for the enzymatic production of l-cystathionine were optimized, using the two kinds of cystathionine -synthase, types I and II, which are abundant in cell-free extracts of Erwinia carotovora (IFO 3830) and Bacillus sphaericus (IFO 3526), respectively. Under the optimal conditions, 178 and 184 mM l-cystathionine (40 and 41 g per liter of the reaction mixture) were synthesized with conversion ratios of 89 and 92% with the Erwinia and Bacillus enzymes, respectively.Recipient of a JSPS Fellowship for Japanese Junior Scientists     

Psychrophilic methane fermentation of excess sludge by enrichment culture

This study was carried out to determine the possibility of the psychrophilic methane fermentation of the excess sludge produced from fish-processing wastewater treatment. Three different kinds of seed sludge, named M seed sludge, K seed sludge and KL seed sludge were used for batch methane fermentation in Erlenmeyer flasks. M seed sludge was mesophilic, while the other two were prepared in our laboratory by soil collection to obtain a psychrophilic biological community. The effects of temperature on the total volume of biogas generated and on the rate of biogas generation were examined. The activity of K seen sludge with respect to gas yield at 15°C was found to be 1.6-fold higher than that of M seed sludge. Enrichment techniques were then used to accumulate psychrophilic bacteria in KL seed sludge, and the activity at 15°C increased by about two times due to these techniques. Comparison of the three kinds of seed sludge indicates that methane fermentation at low temperature may be feasible, and therefore further study to isolate the psychrophilic bacteria in anaerobic digestion is needed.

Soft rot Erwinia bacteria in the rhizosphere of weeds and crop plants in Colorado, United States and Scotland

The soft rot coliform bacteria Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora and E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica were isolated by an enrichment method from the rhizosphere of many weed species and crop plants, collected in commercial potato fields either currently in potatoes or in a different crop as part of the rotation. Erwinia carotovora was isolated from 24 plant species in Colorado and 47 species in Scotland. Weeds contaminated with E. carotovora were found in fields growing other crops in which potatoes had not been grown for 1–2 and sometimes much longer. Weeds collected from virgin land in Colorado were not contaminated with E. carotovora but in Scotland virgin soils containing weed roots yielded E. carotovora subsp. carotovora . In general, the numbers of contaminated weeds rose from nil or low levels in spring and early summer to considerably higher levels during mid-season, and fell to progressively lower levels later. Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora was the predominant organism recovered from the rhizosphere, but E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica was less common, especially in Scotland, and its incidence varied in different seasons depending on factors such as temperature and moisture conditions. The bacteria could apparently persist in the root zone for an extended period of time and may be a source of inoculum to contaminate soft rot erwinia-free seed potato stocks; the origin of the bacteria was uncertain.

Kinetics of molecular weight reduction of poly(glutamic acid) by in situ depolymerization in cell-free broth of Bacillus subtilis

Poly(glutamic acid) (PGA) is a water soluble, biodegradable biopolymer that is produced by microbial fermentation. Recent research has shown that poly(glutamic acid) can be used in drug delivery applications for the controlled release of paclitaxel (Taxol) in cancer treatment. The molecular weight of microbial poly(glutamic acid) is generally larger than what is required for drug delivery. As such, molecular weight reduction is a necessary step in producing poly(glutamic acid) for this application. Poly(glutamic acid) produced by Bacillus subtilis IFO 3335 was subjected to in situ depolymerization in the cell-free fermentation broth. Molecular weight reduction was measured, and an empirical kinetic model was used to correlate the experimental data. The kinetic rate constant, k, was found to be 6.92 × 10⁻⁶ h⁻¹ at pH 7.0 and 37 °C, which were the optimum depolymerization conditions.

Optimization of fermentation parameters for production of ethanol from kinnow waste and banana peels by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation

A study was taken up to evaluate the role of some fermentation parameters like inoculum concentration, temperature, incubation period and agitation time on ethanol production from kinnow waste and banana peels by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation using cellulase and co-culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae G and Pachysolen tannophilus MTCC 1077. Steam pretreated kinnow waste and banana peels were used as substrate for ethanol production in the ratio 4:6 (kinnow waste: banana peels). Temperature of 30°C, inoculum size of S. cerevisiae G 6% and (v/v) Pachysolen tannophilus MTCC 1077 4% (v/v), incubation period of 48 h and agitation for the first 24 h were found to be best for ethanol production using the combination of two wastes. The pretreated steam exploded biomass after enzymatic saccharification containing 63 gL⁻¹ reducing sugars was fermented with both hexose and pentose fermenting yeast strains under optimized conditions resulting in ethanol production, yield and fermentation efficiency of 26.84 gL⁻¹, 0.426 gg ⁻¹ and 83.52 % respectively. This study could establish the effective utilization of kinnow waste and banana peels for bioethanol production using optimized fermentation parameters.     

Ethanol-induced yeast flocculation directed by the promoter of TPS1 encoding trehalose-6-phosphate synthase 1 for efficient ethanol production

Yeast flocculation is an important trait in the brewing industry as well as in ethanol production, through which biomass can be recovered by cost-effective sedimentation. However, mass transfer limitation may affect yeast growth and ethanol fermentation if the flocculation occurs earlier before fermentation is completed. In this article, a novel type of cell-cell flocculation induced by trehalose-6-phosphate synthase 1 (TPS1) promoter was presented. The linear cassette HO-P(TPS1)-FLO1(SPSC01)-KanMX4-HO was constructed to transform the non-flocculating industrial yeast S. cerevisiae 4126 by chromosome integration to obtain a new flocculating yeast strain, ZLH01, whose flocculation was induced by ethanol produced during fermentation. The experimental results illustrated that flocculation of ZLH01 was triggered by 3% (v/v) ethanol and enhanced as ethanol concentration increased till complete flocculation was achieved at ethanol concentration of 8% (v/v). Real time PCR analysis confirmed that the expression of FLO1(SPSC01) was dependent on ethanol concentration. The growth and ethanol fermentation of ZLH01 were improved significantly, compared with the constitutive flocculating yeast BHL01 engineered with the same FLO gene but directed by the constitutive 3-phosphoglycerate kinase promoter PGK1, particularly under high temperature conditions. These characteristics make the engineered yeast more suitable for ethanol production from industrial substrates under high gravity and temperature conditions. In addition, this strategy offers advantage in inducing differential expression of other genes for metabolic engineering applications of S. cerevisiae.
