Summary To investigate simultaneous alcoholic fermentation of glucose and xylose derived from lignocellulosic material by separate or co-culture processes, the effect of oxygen transfer rate (OTR) on the fermentation of 50 g/l xylose by Pichia stipitis NRRL Y 7124 and Candida shehatae ATCC 22984, and the fermentation of 50 g/l glucose by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 1200 and Zymomonas mobilis ATCC 10988 was carried out in batch cultures. The kinetic parameters of the xylose-fermenting yeasts were greatly dependent on the OTR. The optimum OTR values were found to be 3.9 and 1.75 mmol·1–1·h–1 for C. shehatae and P. stipitis, respectively. By contrast the fermentative parameters of S. cerevisiae were poorly affected by the OTR range tested (0.0–3.5 mmol·l–1·h–1) Under these conditions the ethanol yields ranged from 0.41 g·g–1 to 0.45 g·g–1 and the specific ethanol productivity was around 0.70 g·g–1·h–1. Z. mobilis gave the highest fermentative performance under strictly anaerobic conditions (medium continually flushed with nitrogen): under these conditions, the ethanol yield was 0.43 g·g–1 and the average specific ethanol productivity was 2.3 g·g–1·h–1. Process considerations in relation to the effect of OTR on the fermentative performance of the tested strains are discussed. Offprint requests to: J. P. Delgenes  相似文献

Summary As components of combined fermentation of both glucose and xylose to ethanol by separated or coculture processes, the effects of initial sugar concentrations on the fermentative performances ofPichia stipitis Y7124,Candida shehatae ATCC 22984,Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS1200 andZymomonas mobilis ATCC10988 were investigated. From the characteristics of sugar and produced ethanol tolerances the most suitable microorganisms for the achievement of glucose and xylose fermentations have been selected with respect to different fermentation schemes.Nomenclature Tf fermentation time (hours) - Ef ethanol concentration (g/l) - YP/S ethanol yield (g of ethanol produced/g of sugar used) - qp average specific productivity of ethanol (g ethanol/g of cells per hour) - max maximum specific growth rate (h–1)  相似文献

Anaerobic fermentation of glucose (20 g/l) by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 8066 was studied in a chemostat (dilution rate = 0.05–0.25 h–1) at different concentrations of the nitrogen source (5.00 g/l or 0.36 g/l ammonium sulphate). The ethanol yield (g ethanol produced/g glucose consumed) was found to be higher and the glycerol yield (g glycerol formed/g glucose consumed) lower during nitrogen limitation than under carbon limitation. The biomass yield on ATP (g dry weight biomass produced/mol ATP consumed) was consequently found to be lower during nitrogen-limited conditions.  相似文献

The steady-state residual glucose concentrations in aerobic chemostat cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 4126, grown in a complex medium, increased sharply in the respiro-fermentative region, suggesting a large increase in the apparent ks value. By contrast, strain CBS 8066 exhibited much lower steady-state residual glucose concentrations in this region. Glucose transport assays were conducted with these strains to determine the relationship between transport kinetics and sugar assimilation. With strain CBS 8066, a high-affinity glucose uptake system was evident up to a dilution rate of 0.41 h–1, with a low-affinity uptake system and high residual glucose levels only evident at the higher dilution rates. With strain ATCC 4126, the high-affinity uptake system was present up to a dilution rate of about 0.38 h–1, but a low-affinity uptake system was discerned already from a dilution rate of 0.27 h–1, which coincided with the sharp increase in the residual glucose concentration. Neither of the above yeast strains had an absolute vitamin requirement for aerobic growth. Nevertheless, in the same medium supplemented with vitamins, no low-affinity uptake system was evident in cells of strain ATCC 4126 even at high dilution rates and the steady-state residual glucose concentration was much lower. The shift in the relative proportions of the high and low-affinity uptake systems of strain ATCC 4126, which might have been mediated by an inositol deficiency through its effect on the cell membrane, may offer an explanation for the unusually high steady-state residual glucose concentrations observed at dilution rates above 52% of the wash-out dilution rate.  相似文献

Xylitol formation by a recombinantSaccharomyces cerevisiae strain containing theXYL1 gene fromPichia stipitis CBS 6054 was investigated under three sets of conditions: (a) with glucose, ethanol, acetate, or glycerol as cosubstrates, (b) with different oxygenation levels, and (c) with different ratios of xylose to cosubstrate. With both glucose and ethanol the conversion yields were close to 1 g xylitol/g consumed xylose. Decreased aeration increased the xylitol yield on the basis of consumed cosubstrate, while the rate of xylitol formation decreased. The xylitol yield based on consumed cosubstrate also increased with increased-xylose:cosubstrate ratios. The transformant utilized the cosubstrate more efficiently than did a reference strain in terms of utilization rate and growth rate, implying that the regeneration of NAD(P)+ during xylitol formation by the transformant balanced the intracellular redox potential.  相似文献

Anaerobic xylulose fermentation was compared in strains of Zygosaccharomyces and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mutants and wild-type strains to identify host-strain background and genetic modifications beneficial to xylose fermentation. Overexpression of the gene (XKS1) for the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) enzyme xylulokinase (XK) increased the ethanol yield by almost 85% and resulted in ethanol yields [0.61 C-mmol (C-mmol consumed xylulose)−1] that were close to the theoretical yield [0.67 C-mmol (C-mmol consumed xylulose)−1]. Likewise, deletion of gluconate 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (gnd1Δ) in the PPP and deletion of trehalose 6-phosphate synthase (tps1Δ) together with trehalose 6-phosphate phosphatase (tps2Δ) increased the ethanol yield by 30% and 20%, respectively. Strains deleted in the promoter of the phosphoglucose isomerase gene (PGI1) – resulting in reduced enzyme activities – increased the ethanol yield by 15%. Deletion of ribulose 5-phosphate (rpe1Δ) in the PPP abolished ethanol formation completely. Among non-transformed and parental strains S. cerevisiae ENY. WA-1A exhibited the highest ethanol yield, 0.47 C-mmol (C-mmol consumed xylulose)−1. Other non-transformed strains produced mainly arabinitol or xylitol from xylulose under anaerobic conditions. Contrary to previous reports S. cerevisiae T23D and CBS 8066 were not isogenic with respect to pentose metabolism. Whereas, CBS 8066 has been reported to have a high ethanol yield on xylulose, 0.46 C-mmol (C-mmol consumed xylulose)−1 (Yu et al. 1995), T23D only formed ethanol with a yield of 0.24 C-mmol (C-mmol consumed xylulose)−1. Strains producing arabinitol did not produce xylitol and vice versa. However, overexpression of XKS1 shifted polyol formation from xylitol to arabinitol.

Summary The fermentation of D-xylose byCandida shehatae andPichia stipitis was studied in fed-batch fermentations using dissolved oxygen tension (DOT) control in the range of 0.2 to 1.4% air saturation. The response of these two yeasts to DOT was significantly different. Whereas the ethanol yield withC. shehatae was 0.35 to 0.38 g.g–1 at all DOT levels, that ofP. stipitis decreased from 0.44 at a zero DOT reading to 0.19 g.g–1 at 1.4% DOT.  相似文献

Substrates that contain hexose as well as pentose sugars can form an interesting substrate for the production of ethanol. Pichia stipitis and a respiratory-deficient mutant of Saccharomyces diastaticus were used to convert such a substrate into ethanol under continuous culture conditions. With a sugar mixture (glucose 70%/xylose 30%) at 50 g/l, the xylose was entirely consumed when the dilution rate (D) did not exceed 0.006 h–1 whereas the glucose was entirely consumed whatever the D. The study of influence of initial substrate concentration (S0) was performed at D = 0.015 h–1. Under these conditions the substrate was entirely consumed when its initial concentration did not exceed 20 g/l. With S0 = 80 g/l the residual xylose concentration reached 20.5 g/l. At low D or at low S0, P. stipitis was the dominant species in the fermentor. Increasing the D or S0 resulted in the wash-out of P. stipitis mainly because of its low ethanol tolerance.

Summary Candida shehatae ATCC 22984 and Pichia stipitis CBS 5776 were tested for ethanol production from xylose, glucose-xylose mixtures, and aspen wood total hydrolysates. Adaptation of these yeasts to wood hydrolysate solutions by recycling resulted in improved substrate utilization and ethanol production. Compared to the non-adapted cultures, recycled C. shehatae and P. stipitis in aspen hydrolysate increased g ethanol/g sugar consumed from 0.39 and 0.41 to 0.45 and 0.47; while ethanol production from a 70:30 glucose-xylose solution (total sugars 140 g/L) was 45 g/L in 24 h and 60 g/L in 72 h with the adapted yeasts compared to 15 g/L and 28 g/L in the same times with the parent strains.  相似文献

The inability oft Saccharomyces cerevisiae to utilize xylose is attributed to its inability to convert xylose to xylulose. Low xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH) activities in S. cerevisiae are regarded as the reason of blocking the pathway from xylose to xylulose. We had found that Candida shehatae could also be another source for XR gene except Pichia stipitis in the previous study. In this study, we tried to investigate if the expressed XR from C. shehatae could work with the over-expressed endogenous XDH together to achieve the same goal of converting xylose to ethanol in S. cerevisiae. The XR gene (XYL1) from C. shehatae and endogenous XDH gene (XYL2) were both cloned and over-expressed in host S. cerevisiae cell. The specific enzyme activities of XR and XDH were measured and the result of fermentation revealed that the new combination of two enzymes from different sources other than P. stipitis could also coordinate and work with each other and confer xylose utilization ability to S. cerevisiae.  相似文献

For ethanol production from lignocellulose, the fermentation of xylose is an economic necessity. Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been metabolically engineered with a xylose-utilizing pathway. However, the high ethanol yield and productivity seen with glucose have not yet been achieved. To quantitatively analyze metabolic fluxes in recombinant S. cerevisiae during metabolism of xylose-glucose mixtures, we constructed a stable xylose-utilizing recombinant strain, TMB 3001. The XYL1 and XYL2 genes from Pichia stipitis, encoding xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH), respectively, and the endogenous XKS1 gene, encoding xylulokinase (XK), under control of the PGK1 promoter were integrated into the chromosomal HIS3 locus of S. cerevisiae CEN.PK 113-7A. The strain expressed XR, XDH, and XK activities of 0.4 to 0.5, 2.7 to 3.4, and 1.5 to 1.7 U/mg, respectively, and was stable for more than 40 generations in continuous fermentations. Anaerobic ethanol formation from xylose by recombinant S. cerevisiae was demonstrated for the first time. However, the strain grew on xylose only in the presence of oxygen. Ethanol yields of 0.45 to 0.50 mmol of C/mmol of C (0.35 to 0.38 g/g) and productivities of 9.7 to 13.2 mmol of C h−1 g (dry weight) of cells−1 (0.24 to 0.30 g h−1 g [dry weight] of cells−1) were obtained from xylose-glucose mixtures in anaerobic chemostat cultures, with a dilution rate of 0.06 h−1. The anaerobic ethanol yield on xylose was estimated at 0.27 mol of C/(mol of C of xylose) (0.21 g/g), assuming a constant ethanol yield on glucose. The xylose uptake rate increased with increasing xylose concentration in the feed, from 3.3 mmol of C h−1 g (dry weight) of cells−1 when the xylose-to-glucose ratio in the feed was 1:3 to 6.8 mmol of C h−1 g (dry weight) of cells−1 when the feed ratio was 3:1. With a feed content of 15 g of xylose/liter and 5 g of glucose/liter, the xylose flux was 2.2 times lower than the glucose flux, indicating that transport limits the xylose flux.  相似文献

Summary The fermentation by Candida shehatae and Pichia stipitis of xylitol and the various sugars which are liberated upon hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass was investigated. Both yeasts produced ethanol from d-glucose, d-mannose, d-galactose and d-xylose. Only P. stipitis fermented d-cellobiose, producing 6.5 g·l-1 ethanol from 20 g·l-1 cellobiose within 48 h. No ethanol was produced from l-arabinose, l-rhamnose or xylitol. Diauxie was evident during the fermentation of a sugar mixture. Following the depletion of glucose, P. stipitis fermented galactose, mannose, xylose and cellobiose simultaneously with no noticeable preceding lag period. A similar fermentation pattern was observed with C. shehatae, except that it failed to utilize cellobiose even though it grew on cellobiose when supplied as the sole sugar. P. stipitis produced considerably more ethanol from the sugar mixture than C. shehatae, primarily due to its ability to ferment cellobiose. In general P. stipitis exhibited a higher volumetric rate and yield of ethanol production. This yeast fermented glucose 30–50% more rapidly than xylose, whereas the rates of ethanol production from these two sugars by C. shehatae were similar. P. stipitis had no absolute vitamin requirement for xylose fermentation, but biotin and thiamine enhanced the rate and yield of ethanol production significantly.Nomenclature max Maximum specific growth rate, h-1 - Q p Maximum volumetric rate of ethanol production, calculated from the slope of the ethanol vs. time curve, g·(l·h)-1 - q p Maximum specific rate of ethanol production, g·(g cells·h) - Y p/s Ethanol yield coefficient, g ethanol·(g substrate utilized)-1 - Y x/s Cell yield coefficient, g biomass·(g substrate utilized)-1 - E Efficiency of substrate utilization, g substrate consumed·(g initial substrate)-1·100  相似文献

Aerobic glucose-limited chemostat cultivations were conducted with Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains NRRL Y132, ATCC 4126 and CBS 8066, using a complex medium. At low dilution rates all three strains utilised glucose oxidatively with high biomass yield coefficients, no ethanol production and very low steady-state residual glucose concentrations in the culture. Above a threshold dilution rate, respiro-fermentative (oxido-reductive) metabolism commenced, with simultaneous respiration and fermentation occurring, which is typical of Crabtree-positive yeasts. However, at high dilution rates the three strains responded differently. At high dilution rates S. cerevisiae CBS 8066 produced 7–8 g ethanol L−1 from 20 g glucose L−1 with concomitant low levels of residual glucose, which increased markedly only close to the wash-out dilution rate. By contrast, in the respiro-fermentative region both S. cerevisiae ATCC 4126 and NRRL Y132 produced much lower levels of ethanol (3–4 g L−1) than S. cerevisiae CBS 8066, concomitant with very high residual sugar concentrations, which was a significant deviation from Monod kinetics and appeared to be associated either with high growth rates or with a fermentative (or respiro-fermentative) metabolism. Supplementation of the cultures with inorganic or organic nutrients failed to improve ethanol production or glucose assimilation.

Biofilms are a natural form of cell immobilization that result from microbial attachment to solid supports. Biofilm reactors with polypropylene composite-supports containing up to 25% (w/w) of various agricultural materials (corn hulls, cellulose, oat hulls, soybean hulls or starch) and nutrients (soybean flour or zein) were used for ethanol production. Pure cultures ofZymomonas mobilis, ATCC 31821 orSaccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 24859 and mixed cultures with either of these ethanol-producing microorganisms and the biofilm-formingStreptomyces viridosporus T7A ATCC 39115 were evaluated. An ethanol productivity of 374g L–1 h–1 (44% yield) was obtained on polypropylene composite-supports of soybean hull-zein-polypropylene by usingZ. mobilis, whereas mixed-culture fermentations withS. viridosporus resulted in ethanol productivity of 147.5 g L–1 h–1 when polypropylene composite-supports of corn starch-soybean flour were used. WithS. cerevisiae, maximum productivity of 40 g L–1 h–1 (47% yield) was obtained on polypropylene composite-supports of soybean hull-soybean flour, whereas mixed-culture fermentation withS. viridosporus resulted in ethanol productivity of 190g L–1 h–1 (35% yield) when polypropylene composite-supports of oat hull-polypropylene were used. The maximum productivities obtained without supports (suspension culture) were 124 g L–1 h–1 and 5 g L–1 h–1 withZ. mobilis andS. cerevisiae, respectively. Therefore, forZ. mobilis andS. cerevisiae, ethanol productivities in biofilm fermentations were three- and eight-fold higher than suspension culture fermentations, respectively. Biofilm formation on the chips was detected by weight change and Gram staining of the support material at the end of the fermentation. The ethanol production rate and concentrations were consistently greater in biofilm reactors than in suspension cultures.This is Journal Paper No. J-16356 of the Iowa Agriculture and Home Economics Experiment Station, Ames, Iowa.

The efficient conversion of xylose-containing biomass hydrolysate by the ethanologenic yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to useful chemicals such as ethanol still remains elusive, despite significant efforts in both strain and process development. This study focused on the recovery and characterization of xylose chemostat isolates of a S. cerevisiae strain that overexpresses xylose reductase- and xylitol dehydrogenase-encoding genes from Pichia stipitis and the gene encoding the endogenous xylulokinase. The isolates were recovered from aerobic chemostat cultivations on xylose as the sole or main carbon source. Under aerobic conditions, on minimal medium with 30 g l–1 xylose, the growth rate of the chemostat isolates was 3-fold higher than that of the original strain (0.15 h–1 vs 0.05 h–1). In a detailed characterization comparing the metabolism of the isolates with the metabolism of xylose, glucose, and ethanol in the original strain, the isolates showed improved properties in the assumed bottlenecks of xylose metabolism. The xylose uptake rate was increased almost 2-fold. Activities of the key enzymes in the pentose phosphate pathway (transketolase, transaldolase) increased 2-fold while the concentrations of their substrates (pentose 5-phosphates, sedoheptulose 7-phosphate) decreased correspondingly. Under anaerobic conditions, on minimal medium with 45 g l–1 xylose, the ethanol productivity (in terms of cell dry weight; CDW) of one of the isolates increased from 0.012 g g–1 CDW h–1 to 0.017 g g–1 CDW h–1 and the yield from 0.09 g g–1 xylose to 0.14 g g–1 xylose, respectively.  相似文献

Saccharomyces cerevisiae was transformed with the Pichia stipitis CBS 6054 XYL1 and XYL2 genes encoding xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH) respectively. The XYL1 and XYL2 genes were placed under the control of the alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (ADH1) and phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK1) promoters in the yeast vector YEp24. Different vector constructions were made resulting in different specific activities of XR and XDH. The XR:XDH ratio (ratio of specific enzyme activities) of the transformed S. cerevisiae strains varied from 17.5 to 0.06. In order to enhance xylose utilisation in the XYL1-, XYL2-containing S. cerevisiae strains, the native genes encoding transketolase and transaldolase were also overexpressed. A strain with an XR:XDH ratio of 17.5 formed 0.82 g xylitol/g consumed xylose, whereas a strain with an XR:XDH ratio of 5.0 formed 0.58 g xylitol/g xylose. The strain with an XR:XDH ratio of 0.06, on the other hand, formed no xylitol and less glycerol and acetic acid compared with strains with the higher XR:XDH ratios. In addition, the strain with an XR:XDH ratio of 0.06 produced more ethanol than the other strains. Received: 12 March 1997 / Received revision: 17 April 1997 / Accepted: 27 April 1997  相似文献

Response surface methodology was used to evaluate optimal time, temperature and oxalic acid concentration for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of corncob particles by Pichia stipitis CBS 6054. Fifteen different conditions for pretreatment were examined in a 23 full factorial design with six axial points. Temperatures ranged from 132 to 180 °C, time from 10 to 90 min and oxalic acid loadings from 0.01 to 0.038 g/g solids. Separate maxima were found for enzymatic saccharification and hemicellulose fermentation, respectively, with the condition for maximum saccharification being significantly more severe. Ethanol production was affected by reaction temperature more than by oxalic acid and reaction time over the ranges examined. The effect of reaction temperature was significant at a 95% confidence level in its effect on ethanol production. Oxalic acid and reaction time were statistically significant at the 90% level. The highest ethanol concentration (20 g/l) was obtained after 48 h with an ethanol volumetric production rate of 0.42 g ethanol l−1 h−1. The ethanol yield after SSF with P. stipitis was significantly higher than predicted by sequential saccharification and fermentation of substrate pretreated under the same condition. This was attributed to the secretion of β-glucosidase by P. stipitis. During SSF, free extracellular β-glucosidase activity was 1.30 pNPG U/g with P. stipitis, while saccharification without the yeast was 0.66 pNPG U/g.  相似文献

Depending on the biomass yield on glucose and the cell morphology ofBacillus thuringiensis, three different metabolic states were observed in continuous culture. At dilution rates between 0.18 h–1 and 0.31 h–1 vegetative cells, sporulating bacteria and spores coexisted, while glucose and amino acids were consumed. Only vegetative cells were observed at dilution rates between 0.42 h–1 and 0.47 h–1 and glucose was used as the main carbon and energy source. AtD = 0.50 h–1 the biomass yield on glucose decreases sharply. To define better the specific growth rate range in which the microorganism uses mainly glucose, a dilution rate of 0.25–0.45 h–1 was studied. The experimental data could be adjusted to a Monod model and the following rate coefficients and growth yields were determined: maximum specific growth rate 0.54 h–1, saturation constant 0.56 mg glucose ml–1, biomass growth yields 0.43 g cells (g glucose)–1, and 0.76 g cells (g oxygen)–1, and maintenance coefficients 0.065 g glucose (g cells)–1 h–1 and 0.039 g oxygen (g cells)–1 h–1.  相似文献

Hemicellulose liquid hydrolyzate from dilute acid pretreated corn stover was fermented to ethanol using Pichia stipitis CBS 6054. The fermentation rate increased with aeration but the pH also increased due to consumption of acetic acid by Pichia stipitis. Hemicellulose hydrolyzate containing 34 g/L xylose, 8 g/L glucose, 8 g/L Acetic acid, 0.73 g/L furfural, and 1 g/L hydroxymethyl furfural was fermented to 15 g/L ethanol in 72 h. The yield in all the hemicellulose hydrolyzates was 0.37–0.44 g ethanol/g (glucose + xylose). Nondetoxified hemicellulose hydrolyzate from dilute acid pretreated corn stover was fermented to ethanol with high yields, and this has the potential to improve the economics of the biomass to ethanol process.  相似文献

The toxic effects of furfural and acetic acid on two yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida shehatae, were evaluated using an electrochemical method. Intracellular redox activities were lowered by 40% and 78% for S. cerevisiae and C. shehatae, respectively, by 8 g furfural l–1, and by 46% and 67%, respectively, by 8 g acetic acid l–1. The proposed method can accurately measure the effects of inhibitors on cell cultures.Revisions requested 27 September 2004/17 November 2004; Revisions received 15 November 2004/10 December 2004  相似文献
