The aim of this study is to investigate production of l-lactic acid from sucrose and corncob hydrolysate by the newly isolated R. oryzae GY18. R. oryzae GY18 was capable of utilizing sucrose as a sole source, producing 97.5 g l−1
l-lactic acid from 120 g l−1 sucrose. In addition, the strain was also efficiently able to utilize glucose and/or xylose to produce high yields of l-lactic acid. It was capable of producing up to 115 and 54.2 g l−1 lactic acid with yields of up to 0.81 g g−1 glucose and 0.90 g g−1 xylose, respectively. Corncob hydrolysates obtained by dilute acid hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis of the cellulose-enriched
residue were used for lactic acid production by R. oryzae GY18. A yield of 355 g lactic acid per kg corncobs was obtained after 72 h incubation. Therefore, sucrose and corncobs could
serve as potential sources of raw materials for efficient production of lactic acid by R. oryzae GY18. 相似文献

Rhizopus oryzae is a filamentous fungus belonging to the Zygomycetes. It is among others known for its ability to produce the sustainable platform chemicals l-(+)-lactic acid, fumaric acid, and ethanol. During glycolysis, all fermentable carbon sources are metabolized to pyruvate
and subsequently distributed over the pathways leading to the formation of these products. These platform chemicals are produced
in high yields on a wide range of carbon sources. The yields are in excess of 85 % of the theoretical yield for l-(+)-lactic acid and ethanol and over 65 % for fumaric acid. The study and optimization of the metabolic pathways involved
in the production of these compounds requires well-developed metabolic engineering tools and knowledge of the genetic makeup
of this organism. This review focuses on the current metabolic engineering techniques available for R. oryzae and their application on the metabolic pathways of the main fermentation products. 相似文献

Four mixed culture fermentations of grape must were carried out with Kluyveromyces thermotolerans strain TH941 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain SCM952. In the first culture, both yeasts were added together, whereas in the remaining three cultures S. cerevisiae was added 1, 2, and 3 days after the inoculation of K. thermotolerans. The growth and survival of the K. thermotolerans strain and the amount of the produced l-lactic acid depend on the time of inoculation of the S. cerevisiae strain and provided an effective acidification during alcoholic fermentation. The four cultures contained, respectively,
at the end of fermentation 0.18, 1.80, 4.28, and 5.13 g l-lactic acid l−1. The grape must with an initial pH of 3.50 was effectively acidified (70% increase in titratable acidity, 0.30 pH unit decrease)
by the production of 5.13 g l-lactic acid l−1. 相似文献

Lactic acid is used as an additive in foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, and is also an industrial chemical. Optically
pure lactic acid is increasingly used as a renewable bio-based product to replace petroleum-based plastics. However, current
production of lactic acid depends on carbohydrate feedstocks that have alternate uses as foods. The use of non-food feedstocks
by current commercial biocatalysts is limited by inefficient pathways for pentose utilization. B. coagulans strain 36D1 is a thermotolerant bacterium that can grow and efficiently ferment pentoses using the pentose-phosphate pathway
and all other sugar constituents of lignocellulosic biomass at 50°C and pH 5.0, conditions that also favor simultaneous enzymatic
saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of cellulose. Using this bacterial biocatalyst, high levels (150–180 g l−1) of lactic acid were produced from xylose and glucose with minimal by-products in mineral salts medium. In a fed-batch SSF
of crystalline cellulose with fungal enzymes and B. coagulans, lactic acid titer was 80 g l−1 and the yield was close to 80%. These results demonstrate that B. coagulans can effectively ferment non-food carbohydrates from lignocellulose to l(+)-lactic acid at sufficient concentrations for commercial application. The high temperature fermentation of pentoses and
hexoses to lactic acid by B. coagulans has these additional advantages: reduction in cellulase loading in SSF of cellulose with a decrease in enzyme cost in the
process and a reduction in contamination of large-scale fermentations. 相似文献

Bacillus coagulans has been of great commercial interest over the past decade owing to its strong ability of producing optical pure l-lactic acid from both hexose and pentose sugars including l-arabinose with high yield, titer and productivity under thermophilic conditions. The l-arabinose isomerase (L-AI) from Bacillus coagulans was heterologously over-expressed in Escherichia coli. The open reading frame of the L-AI has 1,422 nucleotides encoding a protein with 474 amino acid residues. The recombinant
L-AI was purified to homogeneity by one-step His-tag affinity chromatography. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated
to be 56 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The enzyme was most active at 70°C and pH 7.0. The metal ion Mn2+ was shown to be the best activator for enzymatic activity and thermostability. The enzyme showed higher activity at acidic
pH than at alkaline pH. The kinetic studies showed that the K
m, V
max and k
cat/K
m for the conversion of l-arabinose were 106 mM, 84 U/mg and 34.5 mM−1min−1, respectively. The equilibrium ratio of l-arabinose to l-ribulose was 78:22 under optimal conditions. l-ribulose (97 g/L) was obtained from 500 g/l of l-arabinose catalyzed by the enzyme (8.3 U/mL) under the optimal conditions within 1.5 h, giving at a substrate conversion
of 19.4% and a production rate of 65 g L−1 h−1. 相似文献

In this paper, in order to obtain some industrial strains with high yield of l-(+)-lactic acid, the wild type strain Lactobacillus casei CICC6028 was mutated by nitrogen ions implantation. By study, it was found that the high positive mutation rate was obtained
when the output power was 10 keV and the dose of N+ implantation was 50 × 2.6 × 1013 ions/cm2. In addition, the initial screening methods were also studied, and it was found that the transparent halos method was unavailable,
for some high yield strains of l-(+)-lactic acid were missed. Then a mutant strain which was named as N-2 was isolated, its optimum fermentation temperature was 40°C and the l-(+)-lactic acid yield was 136 g/l compared to the original strain whose optimum fermentation temperature was 34°C and l-(+)-lactic acid production was 98 g/l. Finally, High Performance Liquid Chromatography method was used to analyze the purity
of l-(+)-lactic acid that was produced by the mutant N-2, and the result showed the main production of N-2 was l-(+)-lactic acid. 相似文献

Three mutants, isolated by repeated UV mutagenesis of Lactobacillus lactis NCIM 2368, produced increased d-lactic acid concentrations. These mutants were compared with the wild type using 100 g hydrolyzed cane sugar/l in the fermentation
medium. One mutant, RM2-24, produced 81 g lactic acid/l which was over three times that of the wild type. The highest d-lactic acid (110 g/l) in batch fermentation was obtained with 150 g cane sugar/l with a 73% lactic acid yield. The mutant
utilizes cellobiose efficiently, converting it into d-lactic acid suggesting the presence of cellobiase. Thus, this strain could be used to obtain d-lactic acid from cellulosic materials that are pre-hydrolyzed with cellulase. 相似文献

We isolated and characterized a d-lactic acid-producing lactic acid bacterium (d-LAB), identified as Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis QU 41. When compared to Lactobacillus coryniformis subsp. torquens JCM 1166 T and L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis JCM 1248 T, which are also known as d-LAB, the QU 41 strain exhibited a high thermotolerance and produced d-lactic acid at temperatures of 50 °C and higher. In order to optimize the culture conditions of the QU 41 strain, we examined
the effects of pH control, temperature, neutralizing reagent, and initial glucose concentration on d-lactic acid production in batch cultures. It was found that the optimal production of 20.1 g/l d-lactic acid was acquired with high optical purity (>99.9% of d-lactic acid) in a pH 6.0-controlled batch culture, by adding ammonium hydroxide as a neutralizing reagent, at 43 °C in MRS
medium containing 20 g/l glucose. As a result of product inhibition and low cell density, continuous cultures were investigated
using a microfiltration membrane module to recycle flow-through cells in order to improve d-lactic acid productivity. At a dilution rate of 0.87 h−1, the high cell density continuous culture exhibited the highest d-lactic acid productivity of 18.0 g/l/h with a high yield (ca. 1.0 g/g consumed glucose) and a low residual glucose (<0.1 g/l)
in comparison with systems published to date. 相似文献

Low-energy ion beam irradiation (10–200 keV) has been proved to have a wide range of biological effects in recent years. When
Rhizopus oryzae PW352 was irradiated with a 15-keV low-energy ion beam an l(+)-lactic acid high-yield mutant, RQ4015, was obtained. When 150 g/l glucose was used as the sole carbon source, l(+)-lactic acid of RQ4015 reached 121 g/l after 36 h shake-flask cultivation. However, the highest lactic acid concentration
74 g/l was obtained when 100 g/l xylose was present in the medium as the sole carbon source. When mixed xylose (25 g/l) and
glucose (75 g/l) were present in a bubble column, l(+)-lactic acid production of RQ4015 reached 83 g. A high mutation rate and a wide mutation spectrum of low-energy ion implantation
were observed in the experiment, suggesting that ion implantation can be a highly efficient mutagenic means for microorganism
breeding in many commercial applications. 相似文献

In mineral salts medium under oxygen deprivation, Corynebacterium glutamicum exhibits high productivity of l-lactic acid accompanied with succinic and acetic acids. In taking advantage of this elevated productivity, C. glutamicum was genetically modified to produce d-lactic acid. The modification involved expression of fermentative d-lactate dehydrogenase (d-LDH)-encoding genes from Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus delbrueckii in l-lactate dehydrogenase (l-LDH)-encoding ldhA-null C. glutamicum mutants to yield strains C. glutamicum ΔldhA/pCRB201 and C. glutamicum ΔldhA/pCRB204, respectively. The productivity of C. glutamicum ΔldhA/pCRB204 was fivefold higher than that of C. glutamicum ΔldhA/pCRB201. By using C. glutamicum ΔldhA/pCRB204 cells packed to a high density in mineral salts medium, up to 1,336 mM (120 g l−1) of d-lactic acid of greater than 99.9% optical purity was produced within 30 h. 相似文献

Glutaminase-free l-asparaginase is known to be an excellent anticancer agent. In the present study, statistically based experimental designs
were applied to maximize the production of glutaminase-free l-asparaginase from Pectobacterium carotovorum MTCC 1428. Nine components of the medium were examined for their significance on the production of l-asparaginase using the Plackett–Burman experimental design. The medium components, viz., glucose, l-asparagine, KH2PO4, and MgSO4·7H2O, were screened based on their high confidence levels (P < 0.04). The optimum levels of glucose, l-asparagine, KH2PO4, and MgSO4·7H2O were found to be 2.076, 5.202, 1.773, and 0.373 g L−1, respectively, using the central composite experimental design. The maximum specific activity of l-asparaginase in the optimized medium was 27.88 U mg−1 of protein, resulting in an overall 8.3-fold increase in the production compared to the unoptimized medium. 相似文献

l-glutamine (Gln) is an important conditionally necessary amino acid in human body and potential demand in food or medicine
industry is expected. High efficiency of l-Gln production by coupling genetic engineered bacterial glutamine synthetase (GS) with yeast alcoholic fermentation system
has been developed. We report here first the application of small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) fusion technology to the
expression and purification of recombinant Bacillus subtilis GS. In order to obtain GS with high Gln-forming activity, safety and low cost for food and pharmaceutics industry, 0.1% (w/v)
lactose was selected as inducer. The fusion protein was expressed in totally soluble form in E. coli, and expression was verified by SDS–PAGE and western blot analysis. The fusion protein was purified to 90% purity by nickel
nitrilo-triacetic acid (Ni–NTA) resin chromatography with a yield of 625 mg per liter fermentation culture. After the SUMO/GS
fusion protein was cleaved by the SUMO protease, the cleaved sample was reapplied to a Ni–NTA column. Finally, about 121 mg
recombinant GS was obtained from 1 l fermentation culture with no less than 96% purity. The recombinant purified GS showed
great transferase activity (23 U/mg), with 25 U recombinant GS in a 50 ml reaction system, a biosynthesis yield of 27.5 g/l l-Gln was detected by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) or thin-layer chromatography. Thus, the application of SUMO
technology to the expression and purification of GS potentially could be employed for the industrial production of l-Gln. 相似文献

The production of l-phenylalanine is conventionally carried out by fermentations that use glucose or sucrose as the carbon source. This work
reports on the use of glycerol as an inexpensive and abundant sole carbon source for producing l-phenylalanine using the genetically modified bacterium Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Fermentations were carried out at 37°C, pH 7.4, using a defined medium in a stirred tank bioreactor at various
intensities of impeller agitation speeds (300–500 rpm corresponding to 0.97–1.62 m s−1 impeller tip speed) and aeration rates (2–8 L min−1, or 1–4 vvm). This highly aerobic fermentation required a good supply of oxygen, but intense agitation (impeller tip speed
~1.62 m s−1) reduced the biomass and l-phenylalanine productivity, possibly because of shear sensitivity of the recombinant bacterium. Production of l-phenylalanine was apparently strongly associated with growth. Under the best operating conditions (1.30 m s−1 impeller tip speed, 4 vvm aeration rate), the yield of l-phenylalanine on glycerol was 0.58 g g−1, or more than twice the best yield attainable on sucrose (0.25 g g−1). In the best case, the peak concentration of l-phenylalanine was 5.6 g L−1, or comparable to values attained in batch fermentations that use glucose or sucrose. The use of glycerol for the commercial
production of l-phenylalanine with E. coli BL21(DE3) has the potential to substantially reduce the cost of production compared to sucrose- and glucose-based fermentations. 相似文献

A single-stage continuous fermentation process for the production of 2-keto-l-gulonic acid (2KGA) from l-sorbose using Ketogulonigenium vulgare DSM 4025 was developed. The chemostat culture with the dilution rate that was calculated based on the relationship between
the 2KGA production rate and the 2KGA concentration was feasible for production with high concentration of 2KGA. In this system,
112.2 g/L of 2KGA on the average was continuously produced from 114 g/L of l-sorbose. A steady state of the fermentation was maintained for the duration of more than 110 h. The dilution rate was kept
in the range of 0.035 and 0.043 h−1, and the 2KGA productivity was 3.90 to 4.80 g/L/h. The average molar conversion yield of 2KGA from l-sorbose was 91.3%. Under the optimal conditions, l-sorbose concentration was kept at 0 g/L. Meanwhile, the dissolved oxygen level was changing in response to the dilution rate
and 2KGA concentration. In the dissolved oxygen (DO) range of 16% to 58%, it was revealed that the relationship between DO
and D possessed high degree of positive correlation under the l-sorbose limiting condition (complete consumption of l-sorbose). Increasing D closer to the critical value for washing out point of the continuous fermentation, DO value tended to be gradually increased
up to 58%. In conclusion, an efficient and reproducible continuous fermentation process for 2KGA production by K. vulgare DSM 4025 could be developed using a medium containing baker’s yeast without using a second helper microorganism. 相似文献

Lactobacillus delbrueckii was grown on sugarcane molasses, sugarcane juice and sugar beet juice in batch fermentation at pH 6 and at 40°C. After 72 h,
the lactic acid from 13% (w/v) sugarcane molasses (119 g total sugar l−1) and sugarcane juice (133 g total sugar l−1) was 107 g l−1 and 120 g l−1, respectively. With 10% (w/v) sugar beet juice (105 g total sugar l−1), 84 g lactic acid l−1 was produced. The optical purities of d-lactic acid from the feedstocks ranged from 97.2 to 98.3%. 相似文献

Based on analysis of the genome sequence of Bacillus licheniformis ATCC 14580, an isomerase-encoding gene (araA) was proposed as an l-arabinose isomerase (L-AI). The identified araA gene was cloned from B. licheniformis and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. DNA sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 1,422 bp, capable of encoding a polypeptide of 474 amino acid residues
with a calculated isoelectric point of pH 4.8 and a molecular mass of 53,500 Da. The gene was overexpressed in E. coli, and the protein was purified as an active soluble form using Ni–NTA chromatography. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme
was estimated to be ~53 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 113 kDa by gel filtration chromatography,
suggesting that the enzyme is a homodimer. The enzyme required a divalent metal ion, either Mn2+or Co2+, for enzymatic activity. The enzyme had an optimal pH and temperature of 7.5 and 50°C, respectively, with a k
cat of 12,455 min−1 and a k
cat/K
m of 34 min−1 mM−1 for l-arabinose, respectively. Although L-AIs have been characterized from several other sources, B. licheniformis L-AI is distinguished from other L-AIs by its wide pH range, high substrate specificity, and catalytic efficiency for l-arabinose, making B. licheniformis L-AI the ideal choice for industrial applications, including enzymatic synthesis of l-ribulose. This work describes one of the most catalytically efficient L-AIs characterized thus far. 相似文献

Staphylococcus saprophyticus strains ATCC 15305, ATCC 35552, and ATCC 49907 were found to require l-proline but not l-arginine for growth in a defined culture medium. All three strains could utilize l-ornithine as a proline source and contained l-ornithine aminotransferase and Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase activities; strains ATCC 35552 and ATCC 49907 could use l-arginine as a proline source and had l-arginase activity. The proline requirement also could be met by l-prolinamide, l-proline methyl ester, and the dipeptides l-alanyl-l-proline and l-leucyl-l-proline. The bacteria exhibited l-proline degradative activity as measured by the formation of Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate. The specific activity of proline degradation was not affected by addition of l-proline or NaCl but was highest in strain ATCC 49907 after growth in Mueller–Hinton broth. A membrane fraction from this
strain had l-proline dehydrogenase activity as detected both by reaction of Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate with 2-aminobenzaldehyde (0.79 nmol min−1 mg−1) and by the proline-dependent reduction of p-iodonitrotetrazolium (20.1 nmol min−1 mg−1). A soluble fraction from this strain had Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase activity (88.8 nmol min−1 mg−1) as determined by the NAD+-dependent oxidation of dl-Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate. Addition of l-proline to several culture media did not increase the growth rate or final yield of bacteria but did stimulate growth during
osmotic stress. When grown with l-ornithine as the proline source, S. saprophyticus was most susceptible to the proline analogues L-azetidine-2-carboylate, 3,4-dehydro-dl-proline, dl-thiazolidine-2-carboxylate, and l-thiazolidine-4-carboxylate. These results indicate that proline uptake and metabolism may be a potential target of antimicrobial
therapy for this organism. 相似文献

Recently, the prenyltransferase SirD was found to be responsible for the O-prenylation of tyrosine in the biosynthesis of sirodesmin PL in Leptosphaeria maculans. In this study, the behavior of SirD towards phenylalanine/tyrosine and tryptophan derivatives was investigated. Product
formation has been observed with 12 of 19 phenylalanine/tyrosine derivatives. It was shown that the alanine structure attached
to the benzene ring and an electron donor, e.g., OH or NH2, at its para-position are essential for the enzyme activity. Modifications were possible both at the side chain and the benzene ring.
Enzyme products from seven phenylalanine/tyrosine derivatives were isolated and characterized by MS and NMR analyses including
HSQC and HMBC and proven to be O- or N-prenylated derivatives at position C4 of the benzene rings. K
M
values of six selected derivatives were found in the range of 0.10–0.68 mM. Catalytic efficiencies (K
cat/K
M
) were determined in the range of 430–1,110 s−1·M−1 with l-tyrosine as the best substrate. In addition, 7 of 14 tested tryptophan analogs were also accepted by SirD and converted to
C7-prenylated derivatives, which was confirmed by comparison with products obtained from enzyme assays using a 7-dimethylallyltryptophan
synthase 7-DMATS from Aspergillus fumigatus. 相似文献

The whole-cell biocatalyst displaying Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) on the yeast cell surface with α-agglutinin as the anchor protein was easy to handle and possessed high stability.
The lyophilized CALB-displaying yeasts showed their original hydrolytic activity and were applied to an ester synthesis using
ethanol and l-lactic acid as substrates. In water-saturated heptane, CALB-displaying yeasts catalyzed ethyl lactate synthesis. The synthesis
efficiency increased depending on temperature and reached approximately 74% at 50°C. The amount of l-ethyl lactate increased gradually. l-Ethyl lactate synthesis stopped at 200 h and restarted after adding of l-lactic acid at 253 h. It indicated that CALB-displaying yeasts retained their synthetic activity under such reaction conditions.
In addition, CALB-displaying yeasts were able to recognize l-lactic acid and d-lactic acid as substrates. l-Ethyl lactate was prepared from l-lactic acid and d-ethyl lactate was prepared from d-lactic acid using the same CALB-displaying whole-cell biocatalyst. These findings suggest that CALB-displaying yeasts can
supply the enantiomeric lactic esters for preparation of useful and improved biopolymers of lactic acid. 相似文献

Engineering <Emphasis Type="Italic">Corynebacterium glutamicum</Emphasis> for the production of pyruvate 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A Corynebacterium glutamicum strain with inactivated pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and a deletion of the gene encoding the pyruvate:quinone oxidoreductase
produces about 19 mM l-valine, 28 mM l-alanine and about 55 mM pyruvate from 150 mM glucose. Based on this double mutant C. glutamicum △aceE △pqo, we engineered C. glutamicum for efficient production of pyruvate from glucose by additional deletion of the ldhA gene encoding NAD+-dependent l-lactate dehydrogenase (LdhA) and introduction of a attenuated variant of the acetohydroxyacid synthase (△C–T IlvN). The latter
modification abolished overflow metabolism towards l-valine and shifted the product spectrum to pyruvate production. In shake flasks, the resulting strain C. glutamicum △aceE △pqo △ldhA △C–T ilvN produced about 190 mM pyruvate with a Y
P/S of 1.36 mol per mol of glucose; however, it still secreted significant amounts of l-alanine. Additional deletion of genes encoding the transaminases AlaT and AvtA reduced l-alanine formation by about 50%. In fed-batch fermentations at high cell densities with adjusted oxygen supply during growth
and production (0–5% dissolved oxygen), the newly constructed strain C. glutamicum △aceE △pqo △ldhA △C–T ilvN △alaT △avtA produced more than 500 mM pyruvate with a maximum yield of 0.97 mol per mole of glucose and a productivity of 0.92 mmol g(CDW)−1 h−1 (i.e., 0.08 g g(CDW)
−1 h−1) in the production phase. 相似文献
