Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of fermentation engineering and enzyme engineering, and specifically relates to a novel method for solid-state fermentation of cellulase. Background Technology

[0002] Lignocellulose, as one of the most abundant renewable resources in nature, offers a crucial pathway to addressing the energy crisis and environmental issues by fully utilizing its inexpensive and plentiful biomass resources. Cellulases are a class of enzymes that can degrade lignocellulose into glucose, primarily including endoglucanase (EG), exoglucanase (CBH), and β-glucosidase (CB). However, the high cost and low yield of cellulases limit the development of biomass energy, thus necessitating the development of a highly efficient and economical cellulase production process.

[0003] Currently, research on cellulase fermentation strains mainly focuses on filamentous fungi, such as Penicillium, Trichoderma, and others. Among them, Trichoderma reesei is a filamentous fungus that can produce various cellulases. Due to its high yield, good stability, high enzyme activity, and ease of isolation and purification, it is widely used in industry for cellulase production. Cellulase is an inducible enzyme; lactose, cellobiose, microcrystalline cellulose, etc., can induce microbial strains to produce cellulase. Therefore, selecting a suitable carbon source plays an important role in the production of induced cellulase.

[0004] Cellulase production mainly involves liquid fermentation and solid-state fermentation. Solid-state fermentation is a three-phase bioreactor system with the gas phase as the continuous phase and the liquid phase and its solid substrate as the stationary phase. As a commonly used fermentation method, it has advantages such as high yield, low energy consumption, and low wastewater production. It provides a natural and suitable growth environment for fermenting microorganisms and produces a richer enzyme system. However, using traditional nutrient substrate carriers to adsorb cellulase during solid-state fermentation has problems such as substrate clumping, difficulty in product separation and extraction, and unstable fermentation.

[0005] In the production of enzyme preparations, existing technologies mostly employ liquid fermentation with immobilized cells. For example, the technical solution disclosed in Chinese Invention Patent Application Publication No. [CN109554302] proposes using strains immobilized with sodium alginate for liquid fermentation of feed enzyme preparations, while simultaneously recovering the immobilized cells to restore the culture for enzyme preparation production. However, in actual operation, as fermentation progresses, the fermentation broth becomes very viscous, and the substrate degrades and clumps, resulting in very high energy consumption for stirring in the fermenter. Furthermore, the recovery of immobilized cells after fermentation is cumbersome and prone to contamination.

[0006] To address the above issues, the inert carrier adsorption solid-state fermentation method employed in this invention is a novel fermentation approach with the following advantages: ① It provides a favorable adsorption and growth environment for microorganisms, enhancing mass transfer during solid-state fermentation; ② It enables product separation and extraction, reducing the difficulty of separating cellulase during solid-state fermentation; ③ The fermentation strains can be recycled, and continuous multi-batch fermentation can be used to improve cellulase productivity. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a novel method for solid-state fermentation of cellulase, which enables continuous multi-batch fermentation of cellulase.

[0008] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0009] (1) Modification treatment of the carrier: The inert carrier is cut into cubes with a side length of 5mm-10mm, then soaked in an acid solution, treated in a microwave oven for 5-15min, washed with deionized water until neutral, then soaked in an alkaline solution, treated in a microwave oven for 5-15min, finally washed with deionized water until neutral, and dried at 80℃.

[0010] (2) Preparation of fermentation medium: carbon source inducer 30 g / L, yeast powder 0.25 g / L, peptone 0.75 g / L, urea 0.3 g / L, (NH4)2SO4 1.4 g / L, KH2PO4 2 g / L, CaCl2·2H2O 0.4 g / L, MgSO4·7H2O 0.3 g / L, FeSO4·7H2O 0.005 g / L, MnSO4·4H2O 0.0016 g / L, ZnSO4·7H2O 0.0014 g / L, CoCl2·6H2O 0.002 g / L, Tween 80 1 mL / L.

[0011] (3) Carrier and culture medium filling: Inert carrier is filled into solid fermentation tank at 10-60% of the filling amount, and fermentation culture medium is inoculated into solid fermentation tank. The mass ratio of inert carrier to fermentation culture medium is 1:30-70.

[0012] (4) Fermentation and enzyme production culture: Inoculate the cellulase-producing strain seed liquid at 5-20% into the sterilized fermentation medium, open the air pulsation valve, and set the pulsation pressure intensity to 0.05-0.15 MPa and the pulsation frequency to 1 / 30 min. -1 ~1 / 100min -1 Fermentation culture at 28℃.

[0013] (5) Enzyme solution separation and extraction: After the batch fermentation is completed, the discharge port is opened and the crude enzyme solution is separated by plate and frame squeezing. The inert carrier and strain are retained in the solid fermentation tank for the next batch fermentation.

[0014] (6) Continuous multi-batch fermentation: Add fresh fermentation medium to the solid fermentation tank and ferment again to produce enzymes. After 4 to 7 batches of continuous fermentation, the fermentation is terminated.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] (1) In this invention, porous media materials are selected as inert carriers and acid-base modified by microwave assistance, which increases the specific surface area of ​​the pores, provides a good attachment and growth environment for microorganisms, and improves the stability of the cells during fermentation.

[0017] (2) The present invention uses an inert carrier to adsorb cellulase for solid fermentation. Compared with liquid fermentation, the gas mass transfer effect is better, the fermentation enzyme activity is higher, and the types of enzyme proteins are more abundant.

[0018] (3) The solid fermentation tank used in this invention is equipped with a pulsation device, which can periodically introduce sterile air during the fermentation process, thereby enhancing the mass transfer process of solid fermentation.

[0019] (4) The inert carrier adsorption solid fermentation cellulase method used in this invention is very simple to separate the cellulase product, without the need for complicated processes, and can minimize product loss.

[0020] (5) The present invention uses multiple batches of cellulase fermentation. After each batch of fermentation is completed, the inert carrier and strain are retained, and the enzyme is produced again by adding fresh culture medium, which greatly improves the production efficiency of cellulase.
