Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bio-fermentation technology, specifically relating to the fermentation process of engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the production of gluconic acid. Background Technology

[0002] Glucaric acid is widely found in cruciferous plants and the excrement of mammals. It has broad applications in healthcare, chemical materials, and food additives, such as in the synthesis of detergents, corrosion inhibitors, adipic acid, esters, and polyamide derivatives, and in applications like lowering cholesterol, treating diabetes, and cancer. Therefore, glucocoric acid is considered "one of the most valuable biorefined products."

[0003] Traditionally, gluconic acid is mainly produced on a large scale in industry through the nitric acid oxidation process. This method uses nitric acid as a catalyst and glucose as a substrate to produce gluconic acid and a large number of byproducts. While relatively simple, this method involves numerous side reactions and results in a low yield of gluconic acid (below 50%). In recent years, research has reported the use of novel catalysts to oxidize glucose and other carbon sources to produce gluconic acid. Although this method yields higher results, its reaction conditions and product separation and extraction processes do not align with the principles of green and sustainable development. Developing low-carbon and environmentally friendly microbial fermentation methods can improve reaction selectivity and reduce environmental pollution, showing great promise for future applications.

[0004] The glucuronic acid research group at Jiangnan University has successfully constructed a glucuronic acid synthesis pathway by expressing the inositol-1-phosphate synthase gene (Inol) and the inositol oxygenase gene (MIOX) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and simultaneously expressing aldehyde dehydrogenase (Udh) from Pseudomonas putida. Through metabolic network optimization and culture medium optimization, they have successfully prepared glucuronic acid by biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, achieving a fermentation yield of 12 g / L. However, the high fermentation cost and the high fermentation process have greatly limited the industrialization of this project. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems of low yield, high cost, and unstable process in current fermentation processes for gluconic acid production, this invention provides a method for fermenting gluconic acid with brewing yeast that increases fermentation yield and significantly reduces costs by improving the fermentation formula and controlling the fermentation process.

[0006] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] 1) Activation of microbial strains;

[0009] 2) Seed liquid culture;

[0010] 3) Seed culture tank;

Control dissolved oxygen above 40% and pH 5.0-5.5. Ferment for 6 to 7 days.

[0012] The brewing yeast is brewing yeast Bga, which has been published in patent application document with publication number CN108220176A.

[0015] The peptone in the above-mentioned culture medium is selected from one or more of Angel peptone FP108, FP401, and FP402. The peptone content is preferably 20-40 g / L, and more preferably 30-40 g / L.

[0016] The yeast extract in the above-mentioned culture medium is selected from one or both of Angel FM885 and FM902. The content of yeast extract is preferably 10-30 g / L, more preferably 20-30 g / L.

[0017] Preferably, the fermentation medium comprises a combination of peptone FP108 and yeast extract FM885, or a combination of peptone FP401 and yeast extract FM902.

[0018] Dissolve each component except glucose in 900 ml of water, leave the pH at rest, and sterilize at 121°C for 30 min; dissolve glucose separately in 100 ml of water and sterilize at 115°C for 20 min.

[0019] More specifically, the method for producing gluconic acid by fermentation includes:

[0020] 1) Strain activation: Streaking the brewer's yeast stored at -80℃ into YPD solid medium and activating it for 2-3 days, then culturing at 28-32℃;

[0021] 2) Seed liquid culture: 2YPD medium, inoculate with an appropriate amount of plate cells, culture at 28-32℃ and 250rpm for 16 hours until OD600 reaches 10 or higher;

[0022] 3) Seed culture: Inoculate the seed culture into 2YPD medium (8L / 15L tank) at an inoculation rate of 5-10% (V / V), and culture at 28-32℃ and 200-400rpm, with dissolved oxygen controlled above 40%, for 9-12 hours until OD600 reaches above 10.
