Iogen (Canada) is a major manufacturer of industrial cellulase and hemicellulase enzymes for the textile, pulp and paper, and poultry feed industries. Iogen has recently constructed a 40 t/d biomass-to-ethanol demonstration plant adjacent to its enzyme production facility. The integration of enzyme and ethanol plants results in significant reduction in production costs and offers an alternative use for the sugars generated during biomass conversion. Iogen has partnered with the University of Toronto to test the fermentation performance characteristics of metabolically engineered Zymomonas mobilis created at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. This study focused on strain AX101, a xylose- and arabinose-fermenting stable genomic integrant that lacks the selection marker gene for antibiotic resistance. The “Iogen Process” for biomass depolymerization consists of a dilute-sulpfuric acid-catalyzed steam explosion, followed by enzymatic hydrolysis. This work examined two process design options for fermentation, first, continuous cofermentation of C 5 and C 6 sugars by Zm AX101, and second, separate continuous fermentations of prehydrolysate by Zm AX101 and cellulose hydrolysate by either wildtype Z. mobilis ZM4 or an industrial yeast commonly used in the production of fuel ethanol from corn. Iogen uses a proprietary process for conditioning the prehydrolysate to reduce the level of inhibitory acetic acid to at least 2.5 g/L. The pH was controlled at 5.5 and 5.0 for Zymomonas and yeast fermentations, respectively. Neither 2.5 g/L of acetic acid nor the presence of pentose sugars (C 6:C 5 = 2:1) appreciably affected the high-performance glucose fermentation of wild-type Z. mobilis ZM4. By contrast, 2.5 g/L of acetic acid significantly reduced the rate of pentose fermentation by strain AX101. For single-stage continuous fermentation of pure sugar synthetic cellulose hydrolysate (60 g/L of glucose), wild-type Zymomonas exhibited a four-fold higher volumetric productivity compared with industrial yeast. Low levels of acetic acid stimulated yeast ethanol productivity. The glucose-to-ethanol conversion efficiency for Zm and yeast was 96 and 84%, respectively. 相似文献

In pH-controlled batch fermentations with pure sugar synthetic hardwood hemicellulose (1% [w/v] glucose and 4% xylose) and
corn stover hydrolysate (8% glucose and 3.5% xylose) lacking acetic acid, the xyloseutilizing, tetracycline (Tc)-sensitive,
genomically integrated variant of Zymomonas mobilis ATCC 39676 (designated strain C25) exhibited growth and fermentation performance that was inferior to National Renewable
Energy Laboratory's first-generation, Tc-resistant, plasmid-bearing Zymomonas recombinants. With C25, xylose fermentation following glucose exhaustion wasmarkellyslower, and the ethanol yield (based
on sugars consumed) was lower, owing primarily to an increase in lactic acid formation. There was an apparent increased sensitivity
to acetic acid inhibition with C25 compared with recombinants 39676:pZB4L, CP4:pZB5, and ZM4:pZB5. However, strain C25 performed
well in continous ferm entation with nutrient-rich synthetic corn stover medium over the dilution range 0.03–0.06/h, with
a maximum provess ethanol yield at D=0.03/h of 0.46 g/g and a maximum ethanol productivity of 3 g/(L·h). With 0.35% (w/v) acetic acid in the medium, the process
yield at D=0.04/h dropped to 0.32 g/g, and the maximum productivity decreased by 50% to 1.5 g/(L·h). Under the same operating conditions,
rec Zm Zm 4:pZB5 performed better; however, the medium contained 20 mg/L of Tc to constantly maintain selective pressure.
The absence of any need for antibiotics and antiboitic resistance genes makes the chromosomal integrant C25 more com patible
with current regulatory specifications for biocatalysts in large-scale commercial operations. 相似文献

The bacterium Zymomonas mobilis may be utilized to produce ethanol from glucose in a cross-linked immobilized cell reactor. Reactor startup is much more
rapid with cross-linked Zymomonas than with the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Volumetric ethanol productivities (based on liquid holdup) three times those obtained with cross-linked yeast, and comparable
to those obtained with Zymomonas immobilized by other methods, are possible. 相似文献

This work presents a continuous simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process to produce ethanol from starch
using glucoamylase and Saccharomyces cerevisiae co-immobilized in pectin gel. The enzyme was immobilized on macroporous silica, after silanization and activation of the
support with glutaraldehyde. The silica–enzyme derivative was co-immobilized with yeast in pectin gel. This biocatalyst was
used to produce ethanol from liquefied manioc root flour syrup, in three fixed bed reactors. The initial reactor yeast load
was 0.05 g wet yeast/ml of reactor (0.1 g wet yeast/g gel), used in all SSF experiments. The enzyme concentration in the reactor
was defined by running SSF batch assays, using different amount of silica–enzyme derivative, co-immobilized with yeast in
pectin gel. The chosen reactor enzyme concentration, 3.77 U/ml, allowed fermentation to be the rate-limiting step in the batch
experiment. In this condition, using initial substrate concentration of 166.0 g/l of total reducing sugars (TRS), 1 ml gel/1 ml
of medium, ethanol productivity of 8.3 g/l/h was achieved, for total conversion of starch to ethanol and 91% of the theoretical
yield. In the continuous runs, feeding 163.0 g/l of TRS and using the same enzyme and yeast concentrations used in the batch
run, ethanol productivity was 5.9 g ethanol/l/h, with 97% of substrate conversion and 81% of the ethanol theoretical yield.
Diffusion effects in the extra-biocatalyst film seemed to be reduced when operating at superficial velocities above 3.7 × 10 −4 cm/s. 相似文献

A self-aggregating strain of Saccharomyces uvarum (U4) was used as a biocatalyst to carry out continuous ethanol fermentation in a tower fermentor equipped with a cell separator.
Cell aggregates (2–3 mm) formed a stable packed bed in the fermentor, and the cell separator retained yeast cells effectively.
Corn steep liquor was used as a nitrogen source for the fermentation of corn syrup and black strap molasses. An ethanol productivity
of 54 g/L/h was reached using corn syrup at a dilution rate of 0.7/h, and sugar concentration in the feed was 15% (w/v). For
molasses fermentation, an ethanol productivity of 22 g/L/h was obtained at a dilution rate of 0.7/h, and sugar concentration
in the feed was 12.5% (w/v). Ethanol yields obtained from tower fermentation are higher than those obtained from flask fermentation
(96% for corn syrup fermentation and 92% for molasses fermentation). No significant loss in fermentation activity was observed
after 3 mo of operation. 相似文献

A commercial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used for the production of ethanol by fermentation of cashew apple juice. Growth kinetics and ethanol productivity were
calculated for batch fermentation with different initial sugar (glucose + fructose) concentrations. Maximal ethanol, cell,
and glycerol concentrations were obtained when 103.1 g L −1 of initial sugar concentration was used. Cell yield ( Y
X/S) was calculated as 0.24 (g microorganism)/(g glucose + fructose) using cashew apple juice medium with 41.3 g L −1 of initial sugar concentration. Glucose was exhausted first, followed by fructose. Furthermore, the initial concentration
of sugars did not influence ethanol selectivity. These results indicate that cashew apple juice is a suitable substrate for
yeast growth and ethanol production. 相似文献

Ethanol production was studied in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of steam-pretreated spruce at 42°C,
using a thermotolerant yeast. Three yeast strains of Kluyveromyces marxianus were compared in test fermentations. SSF experiments were performed with the best of these on 5% (w/w) of substrate at a
cellulase loading of 37 filter paper units/g of cellulose, and a β-glucosidase loading of 38 IU/gof cellulose. The detoxification
of the substrate and the lack of pH control in the experiments increased the final ethanol concentration. The final ethanol
yield was 15% lower compared to SSF with Saccharomyces cerevisiae at 37°C, owing to the cessation of ethanol fermentation after the first 10 h. 相似文献

In the production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass, the hydrolysis of the acetylated pentosans in hemicellulose during pretreatment produces acetic acid in the prehydrolysate. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is currently investigating a simultaneous saccharification and cofermentation (SSCF) process that uses a proprietary metabolically engineered strain ofZymomonas mobilis that can coferment glucose and xylose. Acetic acid toxicity represents a major limitation to bioconversion, and cost-effective means of reducing the inhibitory effects of acetic acid represent an opportunity for significant increased productivity and reduced cost of producing fermentation fuel ethanol from biomass. In this study, the fermentation performance of recombinant Z.mobilis 39676:pZB4L, using a synthetic hardwood prehydrolysate containing 1% (w/v) yeast extract, 0.2% KH2PO4, 4% (w/v) xylose, and 0.8% (w/v) glucose, with varying amounts of acetic acid was examine. To minimize the concentration of the inhibitory undissociated form of acetic acid, the pH was controlled at 6.0. The final cell mass concentration decreased linearly with increasing level of acetic acid over the range 0-0.75% (w/v), with a 50% reduction at about 0.5% (w/v) acetic acid. The conversion efficiency was relatively unaffected, decreasing from 98 to 92%. In the absence of acetic acid, batch fermentations were complete at 24 h. In a batch fermentation with 0.75% (w/v) acetic acid, about two-thirds of the xylose was not metabolized after 48 h. In batch fermentations with 0.75% (w/v) acetic acid, increasing the initial glucose concentration did not have an enhancing effect on the rate of xylose fermentation. However, nearly complete xylose fermentation was achieved in 48 h when the bioreactor was fed glucose. In the fed-batch system, the rate of glucose feeding (0.5 g/h) was designed to simulate the rate of cellulolytic digestion that had been observed in a modeled SSCF process with recombinant Zymomonas. In the absence of acetic acid, this rate of glucose feeding did not inhibit xylose utilization. It is concluded that the inhibitory effect of acetic acid on xylose utilization in the SSCF biomass-to-ethanol process will be partially ameliorated because of the simultaneous saccharification of the cellulose. 相似文献

The enzyme manganese peroxidase (MnP) is produced by numerous white-rot fungi to overcome biomass recalcitrance caused by
lignin. MnP acts directly on lignin and increases access of the woody structure to synergistic wood-degrading enzymes such
as cellulases and xylanases. Recombinant MnP (rMnP) can be produced in the yeast Pichia pastoris αMnP1-1 in fed-batch fermentations. The effects of pH and temperature on recombinant manganese peroxidase (rMnP) production
by P. pastoris αMnP1-1 were investigated in shake flask and fed-batch fermentations. The optimum pH and temperature for a standardized fed-batch
fermentation process for rMnP production in P. pastoris αMnP1-1 were determined to be pH 6 and 30 °C, respectively. P. pastoris αMnP1-1 constitutively expresses the manganese peroxidase ( mnp1) complementary DNA from Phanerochaete chrysosporium, and the rMnP has similar kinetic characteristics and pH activity and stability ranges as the wild-type MnP (wtMnP). Cultivation
of P. chrysosporium mycelia in stationary flasks for production of heme peroxidases is commonly conducted at low pH (pH 4.2). However, shake
flask and fed-batch fermentation experiments with P. pastoris αMnP1-1 demonstrated that rMnP production is highest at pH 6, with rMnP concentrations in the medium declining rapidly at
pH less than 5.5, although cell growth rates were similar from pH 4–7. Investigations of the cause of low rMnP production
at low pH were consistent with the hypothesis that intracellular proteases are released from dead and lysed yeast cells during
the fermentation that are active against rMnP at pH less than 5.5. 相似文献

This study examined the continuous cofermentation performance characteristics of a dilute-acid “prehydrolysate-adapted” recombinant
Zymomonas 39676:pZB4L and builds on the pH-stat batch fermentations with this recombinant that we reported on last year. Substitution
of yeast extract by 1% (w/v) corn steep liquor (CSL) (50% solids) and Mg (2 mM) did not alter the coferm entation performance.
Using declared assumptions, the cost of using CSL and Mg was estimated to be 12.5c/gal of ethanol with a possibility of 50%
cost reduction using fourfold less CSL with 0.1% diammonium phosphate. Because of competition for a common sugar transporter
that exhibits a higher affinity for glucose, utilization of glucose was complete whereas xylose was always present in the
chemostat effluent. The ethanol yield, based on sugar used, was 94% of theoretical maximum. Altering the sugar ratio of the
synthetic dilute acid hardwood prehydrolysate did not appear to significantly change the pattern of xylose utilization. Using
a criterion of 80% sugar utilization for determining the maximum dilution rate ( D
max), changing the composition of the feed from 4% xylose to 3%, and simultaneously increasing the glucose from 0.8 to 1.8% shifted
D
max from 0.07 to 0.08/h. With equal amounts of both sugars (2.5%), D
max was 0.07/h. By comparison to a similar investigation with rec Zm CP4:pZB5 with a 4% equal mixture of xylose and glucose,
we observed that at pH 5.0, the D
max was 0.064/h and shifted to 0.084/h at pH 5.75. At a level of 0.4% (w/v) acetic acid in the CSL-based medium with 3% xylose
and 1.8% glucose at pH 5.75, the D
max for the adapted recombinant shifted from 0.08 to 0.048/h, and the corresponding maximum volumetric ethanol productivity decreased
45%, from 1.52 to 0.84 g/(L·h). Under these conditions of continuous culture, linear regression of a Pirt plot of the specific
rate of sugar utilization vs D showed that 4 g/L of acetic acid did not affect the maximum growth yield (0.030 g dry cell mass/g sugar), but did increase
the maintenance coefficient twofold, from 0.46 to 1.0 g of sugar/(g of cell·h). 相似文献

Two biotechnological systems were developed for sucrose conversion into levan and ethanol with Zymomonas mobilis, ensuring a 66.7% transfer of substrate carbon in a batch and 61% carbon transfer in a continuous culture. The effect of
glucose, ethanol, and medium pH on sucrose conversion by Z. mobilis was studied. The addition of ethanol to the fermentation medium, in the final conc. of 100 g/L, uncoupled levan synthesis
from ethanol fermentation. For a continuous culture, the most efficient conversion of substrate carbon into levan was reached
at pH 4.8, giving 64.2 g/L levan, with the levan yield of 0.22 g/g and the productivity of 3.2 g/L/h. 相似文献

Ethanol production from Jerusalem artichoke was studied using inulinase and Z. mobilis by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process. The SSF process showed higher ethanol yield and productivity
than the acid or enzymatic prehydrolyzed two-step process. The optimum temperature and inulinase concentration for SSF were
35°C and 0.25% (v/w, 4.4 units/g of sugar), respectively. In order to operate the SSF process in a continuous mode, inulinase
and Z. mobilis cells were coimmobilized in alginate beads, using chitin as a matrix for enzyme immobilization. The maximum ethanol productivity
of the continuous SSF process was 55.1 g/L/h, with 55% conversion yield. At the conversion yield of 90%, the productivity
was 32.7 g/L/h. The continuous SSF system could be operated stably over 2 wk with an ethanol concentration of 48.6 g/L (95%
of theoretical yield). 相似文献

Iogen Corporation of Ottawa, Canada, has recently built a 50 t/d biomass-to-ethanol demonstration plant adjacent to its enzyme
production facility. Iogen has partnered with the University of Toronto to test the C6/C5 cofermentation performance characteristics
of National Renewable Energy Laboratory's metabolically engineered Zymomonas mobilis using its biomass hydrolysates. In this study, the biomass feedstock was an agricultural waste, namely oat hulls, which was
hydrolyzed in a proprietary two-stage process involving pretreatment with dilute sulfuric acid at 200–250°C, followed by cellulase
hydrolysis. The oat hull hydrolysate (OHH) contained glucose, xylose, and arabinose in a mass ratio of about 8:3:0.5. Fermentation
media, prepared from diluted hydrolysate, were nutritionally amended with 2.5 mL/L of corn steep liquor (50% solids) and 1.2
g/L of diammonium phosphate. The estimated cost for large-scale ethanol production using this minimal level of nutrient supplementation
was 4.4c/gal of ethanol. This work examined the growth and fermentation performance of xyloseutilizing, tetracycline-resistant,
plasmid-bearing, patented, recombinant Z. mobilis cultures: CP4:pZB5, ZM4:pZB5, 39676:pZB4L, and a hardwood prehydrolysate-adapted variant of 39676:pZB4L (designated asthe
“adapted” strain). In pH-stat batch fermentations with unconditioned OHH containing 6% (w/v) glucose, 3% xylose, and 0.75%
acetic acid, rec Zm ZM4:pZB5 gave the best performance with a fermentation time of 30h, followed by CP4:pZB5 at 48h, with
corresponding volumetric productivities of 1.4 and 0.89 g/(L·h), respectively. Based on the available glucose and xylose,
the process ethanol yield for both strains was 0.47 g/g (92% conversion efficiency). At 48 h, the process yield for rec Zm
39676:pZB4L and the adapted strain was 0.32 and 0.34 g/g, respectively. None of the test strains was able to fermentarabinose.
Acetic acid tolerance appeared to be a major determining factor in cofermentation performance. 相似文献

A Bacillus subtilis isolate was shown to be able to produce extracellular protease in solid-state fermentations (SSF) using soy cake as culture
medium. A significant effect of inoculum concentration and physiological age on protease production was observed. Maximum
activities were obtained for inocula consisting of exponentially growing cells at inoculum concentrations in the range of
0.7–2.0 mg g −1. A comparative study on the influence of cultivation temperature and initial medium pH on protease production in SSF and
in submerged fermentation (SF) revealed that in SSF a broader pH range (5–10), but the same optimum temperature (37°C), is
obtained when compared to SF. A kinetic study showed that enzyme production is associated with bacterial growth and that enzyme
inactivation begins before biomass reaches a maximum level for both SF and SSF. Maximum protease activity and productivity
were 960 U g −1 and 15.4 U g −1 h −1 for SSF, and 12 U mL −1 and 1.3 U mL −1 h −1 for SF. When SSF protease activity was expressed by volume of enzyme extract, the enzyme level was 10-fold higher and the
enzyme productivity 45% higher than in SF. These results indicate that this bacterial strain shows a high biotechnological
potential for protease production in solid-state fermentation. 相似文献

In this study, a fermentor consisting of four linked stirred towers that can be used for simultaneous saccharification and
fermentation (SSF) and for the accumulation of cell mass was applied to the continuous production of ethanol using cassava
as the starchy material. For the continuous process with SSF, the pretreated cassava liquor and saccharification enzyme at
total sugar concentrations of 175 g/L and 195 g/L were continuously fed to the fermentor with dilution rates of 0.014, 0.021,
0.031, 0.042, and 0.05 h −1. Considering the maximum saccharification time, the highest volumetric productivity and ethanol yield were observed at a
dilution rate of 0.042 h −1. At dilution rates in the range of 0.014 h −1 to 0.042 h −1, high production rates were observed, and the yeast in the first to fourth fermentor showed long-term stability for 2 months
with good performance. Under the optimal culture conditions with a feed sugar concentration of 195 g/L and dilution rate of
0.042 h −1, the ethanol volumetric productivity and ethanol yield were 3.58 g/L∙h and 86.2%, respectively. The cell concentrations in
the first to fourth stirred tower fermentors were 74.3, 71.5, 71.2, and 70.1 g dry cell/L, respectively. The self-flocculating
yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae CHFY0321, developed by our group showed excellent fermentation results under continuous ethanol production. 相似文献

The extractive acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) fermentations of Clostridium acetobutylicum were evaluated using biodiesel as the in situ extractant. The biodiesel preferentially extracted butanol, minimized product
inhibition, and increased production of butanol (from 11.6 to 16.5 gL −1) and total solvents (from 20.0 to 29.9 gL −1) by 42% and 50%, respectively. The fuel properties of the ABE-enriched biodiesel obtained from the extractive fermentations
were analyzed. The key quality indicators of diesel fuel, such as the cetane number (increased from 48 to 54) and the cold
filter plugging point (decreased from 5.8 to 0.2 °C), were significantly improved for the ABE-enriched biodiesel. Thus, the
application of biodiesel as the extractant for ABE fermentation would increase ABE production, bypass the energy intensive
butanol recovery process, and result in an ABE-enriched biodiesel with improved fuel properties. 相似文献

Oxygen availability is the most important environmental parameter in the production of xylitol by yeasts, directly affecting
yields and volumetric productivity. This work evaluated the cell behavior in fermentations carried out with different dissolved
oxygen concentrations (0.5–30.0% of saturation), as well as a limited oxygen restriction (0% of saturation), at several oxygen
volumetric transfer coefficients (12 ≤ k
L
a ≤ 70 h −1). These experiments allowed us to establish the specific oxygen uptake rate limits to ensure high yields and volumetric productivity.
When oxygen availability was limited, the specific oxygen uptake rate values were between 12 and 26 mg of O 2/of g cell·h, resulting in a yield of 0.71 g of xylitol/xylose consumed, and 0.85 g/[L·h] for the volumetric productivity.
According to the results, the effective control of the specific oxygen uptake rate makes it possible to establish complete
control over this fermentative process, for both cell growth and xylitol production. 相似文献

Two new ethanologenic strains (FBR4 and FBR5) of Escherichia coli were constructed and used to ferment corn fiber hydrolysate. The strains carry the plasmid pLO1297, which contains the genes
from Zymomonas mobilis necessary for efficiently converting pyruvate into ethanol. Both strains selectively maintained the plasmid when grown anaerobically.
Each culture was serially transferred 10 times in anaerobic culture with sugar-limited medium containing xylose, but noselective
antibiotic. An average of 93 and 95% of the FBR4 and FBR5 cells, respectively, maintained pLO1297 in anaerobic culture. The
fermentation performances of the repeatedly transferred cultures were compared with those of cultures freshly revived from
stock in pH-controlled batch fermentations with 10% (w/v) xylose. Fermentation results were similar for all the cultures.
Fermentations were completed within 60 h and ethanol yields were 86–92% of theoretical. Maximal ethanol concentrations were
3.9–4.2% (w/v). The strains were also tested for their ability to ferment corn fiber hydrolysate, which contained 8.5% (w/v)
total sugars (2.0% arabinose, 2.8% glucose, and 3.7% xylose). E. coli FBR5 produced more ethanol than FBR4 from the corn fiber hydrolysate. E. coli FBR5 fermented all but 0.4% (w/v) of the available sugar, whereas strain FBR4 left 1.6% unconsumed. The fermentation with
FBR5 was completed within 55 h and yielded 0.46 g of ethanol/g of available sugar, 90% of the maximum obtainable.

Recombinant Zymomonas mobilis CP4:pZB5 was grown with pH control in batch and continuous modes with either glucose or xylose as the sole carbon and energy
source. In batch cultures in which the ratio of the final cell mass concentration to the amount of sugar in the medium was
constant (i.e., under conditions that promote “coupled growth”), maximum specific rates of glucose and xylose consumption
were 8.5 and 2.1 g/(g of cell…h), respectively; maximum specific rates of ethanol production for glucose and xylose were 4.1
and 1.0 g/(g of cell…h), respectively; and average growth yields from glucose and xylose were 0.055 and 0.034 g of dry cell
mass (DCM)/g of sugar respectively. The corresponding value of Y ATP for glucose and xylose was 9.9 and 5.1 g of DCM/mol of ATP, respectively. Y ATP for the wild-type culture CP4 with glucose was 10.4g of DCM/mol of ATP. For single substratechem ostat cultures in which
the growth rate was varied as the dilution rate ( D), the maximum or “true” growth yield (max Y a/s) was calculated from Pirt plots as the inverse of the slope of the best-fit linear regression for the specific sugar utilization
rate as a function of D, and the “maintenance coefficient” ( m) was determined as the y-axis intercept. For xylose, values of max Y
s/s and m were 0.0417g of DCM/g of xylose (Y ATP=6.25) and 0.04g of, xylose/(g of cell…h), respectively. However, with glucose there was an observed deviation from linearity,
and the data in the Pirt plot was best fit with a second-order polynomial in D. At D>0.1/h, Y ATP=8.71 and m=2.05g of glu/(g of cell…h) whereas at D<0.1/h, Y ATP=4.9g of DCM/mol of ATP and m=0.04g of glu/(g of cell…h). This observation provides evidence to question the validity of the unstructured growth model
and the assumption that Pirt's maintenance coefficient is a constant that is in dependent of the growth rate. Collectively,
these observations with individual sugars and the values assign ed to various growth and fermentation parameters will be useful
in the development of models to predict the behavior of rec Zm in mixed substrate fermentations of the type associated with
biomass-to-ethanol processes. 相似文献

Long-term (149 d) continuous fermentation was used to adapt a xylose-fermenting recombinant Zymomonas mobilis, strain 39676:pZB 4L, to conditioned (overlimed) dilute-acid yellow poplar hemicellulose hydrolyzate (“prehydrolyzate”).
An “adapted” variant was isolated from a chemostat operating at a dilution rate of 0.03/h with a 50% (v/v) prehydrolyzate,
corn steep liquor, and sugar-supplemented medium, at pH 5.75. The level of xylose and glucose in the medium was kept constant
at 4% (w/v) and 0.8% (w/v), respectively. These sugar concentrations reflect the composition of the undiluted hardwood prehydrolyzate.
The level of conditioned hardwood prehydrolyzate added to the medium was increased in 5% increments startingata level of 10%.
At the upper level of 50% prehydrolyzate, the acetic-acid concentration was about 0.75% (w/v). The adapted variant exhibited
improved xylose-fermentation performance in a pure-sugar, synthetic hardwood prehydrolyzate medium containing 4% xylose (w/v),
0.8% (w/v) glucose, and acetic acid in the range 0.4–1.0% (w/v). The ethanol yield was 0.48–0.50 g/g; equivalent to a sugar-to-ethanol
conversion efficiency of 94–96% of theoretical maximum. The maximum growth yield and maintenance energy coefficients were
0.033 g dry cell mass (DCM)/g sugars and 0.41 g sugars/g DCM/h, respectively. The results confirm that long-term continuous
adaptation is a useful technique for effecting strain improvement with respect to the fermentation of recalcitrant feedstocks. 相似文献
