Xylose reductase (XR) activity was evaluated in extracts of Candida mogii grown in media containing different concentrations of rice straw hydrolysate. Results of X Ractivity were compared to xylitol production and a similar behavior was observed for these parameters. Highest values of specific production and productivity were found for xylose reductase (35 U/g of cell and 0.97 U/[g of cell·h], respectively) and for xylitol (5.63 g/g of cell and 0.13 g/[g of cell·h]) in fermentation conducted in medium containing 49.2 g of xylose/L. The maximum value of XR:XD ratio (1.82) was also calculated under this initial xylose concentration with 60 h of fermentation.  相似文献

Candida guilliermondii FTI 20037 was cultured in sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate supplemented with 2.0 g/L of (NH4)2SO4, 0.1 g/L of CaCl2·2H2O, and 20.0 g/L of rice bran at 35°C; pH 4.0; agitation of 300 rpm; and aeration of 0.4, 0.6, or 0.8 vvm. The high xylitol production (20.0 g/L) and xylose reductase (XR) activity (658.8 U/mg of protein) occurred at an aeration of 0.4 vvm. Under this condition, the xylitol dehydrogenase (XD) activity was low. The apparent K M for XR and XD against substrates and cofactors were as follows: for XR, 6.4×10−2 M (xylose) and 9.5×10−3 mM (NADPH); for XD, 1.6×10−1 M (xylitol) and 9.9×10−2 mM (NAD+). Because XR requires about 10-fold less xylose and cofactor than XD for the condition in which the reaction rate is half of the V max, some interference on the overall xylitol production by the yeast could be expected.  相似文献

Xylose reductase activity of Candida guilliermondii FTI 20037 was evaluated during xylitol production by fed-batch fermentation of sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate. A 24-1 fractional factorial design was used to select process variables. The xylose concentrations in the feeding solution (S F ) and in the fermentor (S 0), the pH, and the aeration rate were selected for optimization of this process, which will be undertaken in the near future. The best experimental result was achieved at S F =45 g/L, S 0=40 g/L, pH controlled at 6.0, and aeration rate of 1.2 vvm. Under these conditions, the xylose reductase activity was 0.81 U/mg of protein and xylitol production was 26.3 g/L, corresponding to a volumetric productivity of 0.55 g/(L·h) and a xylose xylitol yield factor of 0.68 g/g.  相似文献

The sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate, which is rich in xylose, can be used as culture medium for Candida guilliermondii in xylitol production. However, the hydrolysate obtained from bagasse by acid hydrolysis at 120°C for 20 min has by-products (acetic acid and furfural, among others), which are toxic to the yeast over certain concentrations. So, the hydrolysate must be pretreated before using in fermentation. The pretreatment variables considered were: adsorption time (15,37.5, and 60 min), type of acid used (H2So4 and H3Po4), hydrolysate concentration (original, twofold, and fourfold. concentrated), and active charcoal (0.5, 1.75 and 3.0%). The suitability of the pretreatment was followed by measuring the xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XD) activity of yeast grown in each treated hydrolysate. The response surface methodology (24 full factorial design with a centered face) indicated that the hydrolysate might be concentrated fourfold and the pH adjusted to 7.0 with CaO, followed by reduction to 5.5 with H3PO4. After that it was treated with active charcoal (3.0%) by 60 min. This pretreated hydrolysate attained the high XR/XD ratio of 4.5.  相似文献

The effects of environmental conditions, namely initial pH (2.5–7.0) and temperature (25 and 35°C), on xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase levels, as well as on xylitol production, were evaluated. Although the fermentative parameter values increased with an increase in pH and temperature (the maximum YP/s and Q p were 0.75 g/g and 0.95 g/[L·h], respectively, both attained at pH 6.0, 35°C), the highest xylose reductase activities (nearly 900 1U/mg of protein) were observed at an initial pH varying from 4.0 to 6.0. Xylitol dehydrogenase was favored by an increase in both initial pH and temperature of the medium. The highest xylitol dehydrogenase specific activity was attained at pH 6.5 and 35°C (577 1U/mg of protein).  相似文献

The effect of glucose on xylose-xylitol metabolism in fermentation medium consisting of sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate was evaluated by employing an inoculum of Candida guilliermondii grown in synthetic media containing, as carbon sources, glucose (30 g/L), xylose (30 g/L), or a mixture of glucose (2 g/L) and xylose (30 g/L). The inoculum medium containing glucose promoted a 2.5-fold increase in xylose reductase activity (0.582 IU/mgprot) and a 2-fold increase in xylitol dehydrogenase activity (0.203 IU/mgprot) when compared with an inoculum-grown medium containing only xylose. The improvement in enzyme activities resulted in higher values of xylitol yield (0.56 g/g) and productivity (0.46 g/[L·h]) after 48 h of fermentation.  相似文献

The biocon version of xylose intoxylitol using pH values of 4.0, 5.5 and 7.0 and tetracycline concentrations of 20 and 40 mg/L was carried out to verify the influence of these parameters on Candida guilliermondii metabolism for xylitol production. Experiments were performed with sugarcane bagasse hemicellulosi chydrolysate (48.5 g/L of xylose) in 125-mL Erlenmeyer flasks, at 30°C, 200 rpm, during 88 h. The results demostrated that the bioconversion of xylose into xylitol was significantly influenced by the pH. On the other hand, in media containing 20 or 40 mg/L of tetracycline, this bioconversion was not significantly affected. The best results of xylitol production were obtained in hemicellulosic hydrolysate without tetracycline, at pH 7.0 In these conditions, the maxim um specific growth rate was 0.014/h and the yield factor of xylitol and volumetric productivity were 0.85g/g and 0.70g/L/h respectively. Xylitol and cell growth occureed simultaneously.  相似文献

This study deals with the bioconversion of xylose into xylitol by Candida guilliermondii FTI 20037 using eucalyptus hemicellulosic hydrolysate obtained by acid hydrolysis. The influence of various parameters (ammonium sulfate, rice bran, pH, and xylose concentration) on the production of xylitol was evaluated. The experiments were based on multivariate statistical concepts, with the application of factorial design techniques to identify the most important variables in the process. The levels of these variables were quantified by the response surface methodology, which permitted the establishment of a significant mathematical model with a coefficient determination of R 2=0.92. The best results (xylitol=10.0 g/L, yield factor=0.2 g/g, and productivity=0.1 g/[L·h]) were attained with hydrolysate containing ammonium sulfate (1.1 g/L), rice bran (5.0 g/L), and xylose (initial concentration of 60.0 g/L), after 72 h of fermentation. The pH of fermentation was adjusted to 8.0 and the inoculum level utilized was 3 g/L.  相似文献

To obtain in-depth information on the overall metabolic behavior of the new good xylitol producer Debaryomyces hansenii UFV-170, batch bioconversions were carried out using semisynthetic media with compositions simulating those of typical acidic hemicellulose hydrolysates of sugarcane bagasse. For this purpose, we used media containing glucose (4.3–6.5 g/L), xylose (60.1–92.1 g/L), or arabinose (5.9–9.2 g/L), or binary or ternary mixtures of them in either the presence or absence of typical inhibitors of acidic hydrolysates, such as furfural (1.0–5.0 g/L), hydroxymethylfurfural (0.01–0.30 g/L), acetic acid (0.5–3.0 g/L), and vanillin (0.5–3.0 g/L). D. hansenii exhibited a good tolerance to high sugar concentrations as well as to the presence of inhibiting compounds in the fermentation media. It was able to produce xylitol only from xylose, arabitol from arabinose, and no glucitol from glucose. Arabinose metabolization was incomplete, while ethanol was mainly produced from glucose and, to a lesser less extent, from xylose and arabinose. The results suggest potential application of this strain in xyloseto-xylitol bioconversion from complex xylose media from lignocellulosic materials.  相似文献

Fermentation kinetics of ethanol production from glucose, xylose, and their mixtures using a recombinant Saccharomyces 1400 (pLNH33) are reported. Single-substrate kinetics indicate that the specific growth rate of the yeast and the specific ethanol productivity on glucose as the substrate was greater than on xylose as a substrate. Ethanol yields from glucose and xylose fermentation were typically 95 and 80% of the theoretical yield, respectively. The effect of ethanol inhibition is more pronounced for xylose fermentation than for glucose fermentation. Studies on glucose-xylose mixtures indicate that the recombinant yeast co-ferments glucose and xylose. Fermentation of a 52.8 g/L glucose and 56.3 g/L xylose mixture gave an ethanol concentration of 47.9 g/L after 36 h. Based on a theoretical yield of 0.51 g ethanol/g sugars, the ethanol yield from this experiment (for data up to 24 h) was calculated to be 0.46 g ethanol/g sugar or 90% of the theoretical yield. The specific growth rate of the yeast on glucose-xylose mixtures was found to lie between the specific growth rate on glucose and the specific growth rate on xylose. Kinetic studies were used to develop a fermentation model incorporating the effects of substrate inhibition, product inhibition, and inoculum size. Good agreements were obtained between model predictions and experimental data from batch fermentation of glucose, xylose, and their mixtures.  相似文献

The production of cellulase-free end oxylanase by the thermophilic fungus Thermomyces lanuginosus was investigated insemisolid fermentation and liquid fermentation. Different process variables were investigated in semisolid fermentation, employing corncobas the carbon source. The best results were with the following conditions: grain size=4.5 mm, solid:liquid ratio=1:2, and inoculum size=20% (v/v). Corncob, xylan, and xylose were the best inducers for endoxylanase production. Additionally, organic nitrogen sources were necessary for the production of high endoxylanase activities. The crude enzyme had optimum activity at pH 6.0 and 75°C, displaying a high thermostability. The apparent K 25 and V max were 1.77 mg of xylan/mL and 21.5 U/mg of protein, respectively.  相似文献

The influence of aeration level, initial pH, initial cell concentration, and fermentation time on the xylitol production from rice straw hemicellulose hydrolysate byCandida mogii was studied. A multifactorial experimental design was adopted to evaluate this influence. A statistical analysis of the results showed that the aeration level and the initial pH had significant effects on yield factor, volumetric productivity, and xylose consumption. For the latter, fermentation time was also a significant variable. Based on the response surface methodology, models for the range investigated were proposed. The maximum values for the yield factor (Yp/s) and volumetric productivity (Qp) were, respectively, 0.71 g/g and 0.46 g(Lh).  相似文献

The influence of other hemicellulosic sugars (arabinose, galactose, mannose, and glucose), oxygen limitation, and initial xylose concentration on the fermentation of xylose to xylitol was in vestigated using experimental design methodology. Oxygen limitation and initial xylose concentration had strong influences on xylitol production by Candida tropicalis ATCC 96745. Under semiaerobic conditions, xylitol yield was highest (0.62 g/g), whereas under aerobic conditions volumetric productivity was highest (0.90g/[L·h]). In the presence of glucose, xylose utilization was strongly repressed and sequential sugar utilization was observed. Ethanol produced from the glucose caused a 50% reduction in xylitol yield when the ethanol con centration exceeded 30 g/L. When complex synthetic hemicellulosic sugars were fermented, glucose was initially consumed followed by a simultaneous uptake of the other sugars. The highest xylitol yield (0.84 g/g) and volumetric productivity (0.49 g/[L·h]) were obtained for substrates containing high arabinose and low glucose and mannose contents.  相似文献

The combined effects of inhibitors present in lignocellulosic hydrolysates was studied using a multivariate statistical approach. Acetic acid (0–6 g/L), formic acid (0–4.6 g/L) and hydroquinone (0–3 g/L) were tested as model inhibitors in synthetic media containing a mixture of glucose, xylose, and arabinose simulating concentrated hemicellulosic hydrolysates. Inhibitors were consumed sequentially (acetic acid, formic acid, and hydroquinone), alongside to the monosaccharides (glucose, xylose, and arabinose). Xylitol was always the main metabolic product. Additionally, glycerol, ethanol, and arabitol were also obtained. The inhibitory action of acetic acid on growth, on glucose consumption and on all product formation rates was found to be significant (p≤0.05), as well as formic acid inhibition on xylose consumption and biomass production. Hydroquinone negatively affected biomass productivity and yield, but it significantly increased xylose consumption and xylitol productivity. Hydroquinone interactions, either with acetic or formic acid or with both, are also statistically signficant. Hydroquinone seems to partially lessen the acetic acid and amplify formic acid effects. The results clearly indicate that the interaction effects play an important role on the xylitol bioprocess.  相似文献

For optimum fermentation, fermenting xylose into acetic acid by Clostridium thermoaceticum (ATCC 49707) requires adaptation of the strain to xylose medium. Exposed to a mixture of glucose and xylose, it preferentially consumesxylose over glucose. The initial concentration of xylose in the medium affects the final concentration and the yield of acetic acid. Batch fermentation of 20 g/L of xylose with 5g/L of yeast extract as the nitrogen source results in a maximum acetate concentration of 15.2 g/L and yield of 0.76 g of acid/g of xylose. Corn steep liquor (CLS) is a good substitute for yeast extract and results in similar fermentation profiles. The organism consumes fructose, xylose, and glucose from a mixture of sugars in batch fermentation. Arabinose, mannose, and galactose are consumed only slightly. This organism loses viability on fed-batch operation, even with supplementation of all the required nutrients. In fed-batch fermentation with CSL supplementation, d-xylulose (an intermediate in the xylose metabolic pathway) accumulates in large quantities.  相似文献

The effects of oxygen limitation on xylose fermentation of Neurospora crassa AS3.1602 were studied using batch cultures. The maximum yield of ethanol was 0.34 g/g at oxygen transfer rate (OTR) of 8.4 mmol/L·h. The maximum yield of xylitol was 0.33 g/g at OTR of 5.1 mmol/L·h. Oxygen limitation greatly affected mycelia growth and xylitol and ethanol productions. The specific growth rate (μ) decreased 82% from 0.045 to 0.008 h−1 when OTR changed from 12.6 to 8.4 mmol/L·h. Intracellular metabolites of the pentose phosphate pathway, glycolysis, and tricarboxylic acid cycle were determined at various OTRs. Concentrations of most intracellular metabolites decreased with the increase in oxygen limitation. Intracellular enzyme activities of xylose reductase, xylitol dehydrogenase, and xylulokinase, the first three enzymes in xylose metabolic pathway, decreased with the increase in oxygen limitation, resulting in the decreased xylose uptake rate. Under all tested conditions, transaldolase and transketolase activities always maintained at low levels, indicating a great control on xylose metabolism. The enzyme of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase played a major role in NADPH regeneration, and its activity decreased remarkably with the increase in oxygen limitation.  相似文献

The effect of the oxygen transfer coefficient on the production of xylitol by biocon version of xylose present in sugarcane bagasse hemicellulosic hydrolysate using the yeast Candiada guilliermondii was investigated. Continuous cultivation was carried out in a 1.25-L fermentor at 30°C, pH 5.5, 300 rpm, and a dilution rate of 0.03/h, using oxygen transfer coefficients of 10,20, and 30/h. The results showed that the microbial xylitol production (11 g/L) increased by 108% with the decrease in the oxygen volumetric transfer coefficient from 30 to 20/h. The maximum values of xylitol productivity (0.7g/[L…h]) and yield (0.58 g/g) were obtained at k L a 20/h.  相似文献

Xylitol production by Debaryomyces hansenii NRRL Y-7426 was performed on synthetic medium varying the initial xylose concentration between 50 and 300 g/L. The experimental results of these tests were used to investigate the effect of substrate level on xylose consumption by this yeast. Satisfactory values of product yield on substrate (0.74–0.83 g/g) as well as volumetric productivity (0.481–0.694 g/L·h) were obtained over a wide range of xylose levels (90–200 g/L), while a worsening of kinetic parameters took place at higher concentration, likely due to a substrate inhibition phenomenon. The metabolic behavior of D. hansenii was studied, under these conditions, through a carbon material balance to estimate the fractions of xylose consumed by the cell for different activities (xylitol production, biomass growth, and respiration) during the lag, exponential, and stationary phases.  相似文献

The fermentation characteristics of a recombinant strain of Zymomonas mobilis ZM4(pZB5) capable of converting both glucose and xylose to ethanol have been further investigated. Previous studies have shown that the strain ZM4(pZB5) was capable of converting a mixture o 65 g/L of glucose and 65 g/L of xylose to 62 g/L of ethanol in 48 h with an overall yield of 0.46 g/g. Higher sugar concentrations (e.g., 75/75 g/L) resulted in incomplete xylose utilization (80 h). In the present study, further kinetic evaluations at high sugar levels are reported. Acetate inhibition studies and evaluation of temperature and pH effects indicated increased maximum specific uptake rates of glucose and xylose under stressed conditions with increased metabolic uncoupling. A high-productivity system was developed that involved a membrane bioreactor with cell recycling. At sugar concentrations of approx 50/50 g/L of glucose/xylose, an ethanol concentration of 50 g/L, an ethanol productivity of approx 5 g/(L·h), and a yield (Y p/s) of 0.50 g/g were achieved. Decreases in cell viability were found in this system after attainment of an initial steady state (40–60 h); a slow bleed of concentrated cells may be required to overcome this problem.  相似文献

The five-carbon sugard-xylose is a major component of hemicellulose and accounts for roughly one-third of the carbohydrate content of many lignocellulosic materials. The efficient fermentation of xylose-rich hemicellulose hydrolyzates (prehydrolyzates) represents an opportunity to improve significantly the economics of large-scale fuel ethanol production from lignocellulosic feedstocks. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is currently investigating a simultaneous saccharification and cofermentation (SSCF) process for ethanol production from biomass that uses a dilute-acid pretreatment and a metabolically engineered strain ofZymomonas mobilis that can coferment glucose and xylose. The objective of this study was to establish optimal conditions for cost-effective seed production that are compatible with the SSCF process design. Two-level and three-level full factorial experimental designs were employed to characterize efficiently the growth performance of recombinantZ. mobilis CP4:pZB5 as a function of nutrient level, pH, and acetic acid concentration using a synthetic hardwood hemicellulose hydrolyzate containing 4% (w/v) xylose and 0.8% (w/v) glucose. Fermentations were run batchwise and were pH-controlled at low levels of clarified corn steep liquor (cCSL, 1-2% v/v), which were used as the sole source of nutrients. For the purpose of assessing comparative fermentation performance, seed production was also carried out using a “benchmark” yeast extract-based laboratory medium. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) of experimental results was performed to determine the main effects and possible interactive effects of nutrient (cCSL) level, pH, and acetic acid concentration on the rate of xylose utilization and the extent of cell mass production. Results indicate that the concentration of acetic acid is the most significant limiting factor for the xylose utilization rate and the extent of cell mass production; nutrient level and pH exerted weaker, but statistically significant effects. At pH 6.0, in the absence of acetic acid, the final cell mass concentration was 1.4 g dry cell mass/L (g DCM/L), but decreased to 0.92 and 0.64 g DCM/L in the presence of 0.5 and 1.0% (w/v) acetic acid, respectively. At concentrations of acetic acid of 0.75 (w/v) or lower, fermentation was complete within 1.5 d. In contrast, in the presence of 1.0% (w/v) acetic acid, 25% of the xylose remained after 2 d. At a volumetric supplementation level of 1.5–2.0% (v/v), cCSL proved to be a cost-effective single-source nutritional adjunct that can support growth and fermentation performance at levels comparable to those achieved using the expensive yeast extract-based laboratory reference medium.  相似文献
