Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of microbial application, and in particular to a method for producing single-cell protein and microbial oil by recycling inorganic nitrogen source and lignocellulose raw material through synchronous saccharification and co-fermentation. Background Art
[0002] The rapid growth of population has led to a relative scarcity of natural resources, and the research on new sustainable food sources has become a pressing issue for the world. Proteins and oils are important and indispensable components of human and animal nutrition. Single-cell proteins and microbial oils produced by yeast, bacteria, fungi or algae provide an alternative source of animal / plant proteins and oils. Yeast strains producing single-cell proteins have the advantages of high protein content, fast growth rate, good flocculability, non-pathogenicity, and rich in vitamins and trace nutrients. Among them, oil yeast has become the preferred cell factory for the co-production of single-cell proteins and microbial oils due to its good polysaccharide metabolism and intracellular product accumulation ability.
[0003] In the production process of single-cell proteins and oils, the substrate cost accounts for a high proportion. The selection of cheap carbon and nitrogen sources is an important step in the production of single-cell proteins and oils for practical applications. Grain starch carbon sources and organic nitrogen sources are generally not considered reasonable choices due to their high costs, and the route of producing single-cell proteins from hydrocarbon compounds from petroleum and natural gas has been abandoned because they do not have the characteristics of carbon neutrality. Lignocellulosic biomass, which is widely available and low-cost, is the most potential carbon source raw material for the production of single-cell proteins and oils, and a reasonable nitrogen source should come from cheap inorganic ammonia nitrogen compounds.
[0004] Zheng Longyu et al. from Huazhong Agricultural University proposed a method for the joint production of lignocellulose-derived protein and oil using insects (CN106819662A), but this method has a long production cycle and is subject to environmental constraints. Single-cell protein and oil produced using microorganisms have many advantages, such as short production time, high content, rich content of nucleic acids, vitamins and minerals, and rich in certain essential amino acids, such as lysine and methionine. Wu Hong et al. from South China University of Technology proposed a method for the simultaneous production of single-cell protein and oil using oleaginous yeast (CN10675440), but this method must use expensive yeast extract and peptone as nitrogen sources, and cannot achieve the simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation production of high-index lignocellulose raw materials. Shanghai Jitailai Biotechnology Co., Ltd. also proposed a method for producing single-cell protein and oil using microbial fermentation (CN107557309A), but still requires expensive yeast paste as a nitrogen source supplement. In addition, in the process of fermenting single-cell protein and oil using lignocellulose as substrate, the generation of a large amount of high-ammonia nitrogen wastewater is likely to greatly increase the nitrogen source cost and downstream wastewater treatment cost, but there is currently no report on its recycling.

[0030] Those skilled in the art will understand that since the lignocellulosic raw material is subjected to pretreatment, prehydrolysis and detoxification before simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation, the nitrogen-containing fermentation wastewater of step (4) can be recycled for simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation, or can be recycled for the prehydrolysis and detoxification steps before simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation. The recycled fermentation wastewater will flow into the simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation system to provide part of the nitrogen source for the fermentation strain.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the nitrogen-containing fermentation wastewater is recycled and used in the simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation of step (2).

Suitable Trichosporon dermatophyte needs to satisfy an average cell volume of 10 -17 m 3 The fermentation strain has the ability to metabolize glucose, xylose, arabinose, mannose and galactose from lignocellulose at approximately the same metabolic rate. The "approximately the same metabolic rate" refers to the difference (v, in g / L / h) between the metabolic rates (v) of the fermentation strain for any two of the sugars glucose, xylose, arabinose, mannose and galactose. 1 -v 2 ) accounts for v 1 and v2 The percentage does not exceed 20%.

MP11 is an engineered bacterium of Trichosporon cutaneum, and the average cell volume of MP11 is 9.7×10 -17 m 3 , with significantly expanded intracellular space, which is conducive to product accumulation. At the same time, the strain also has the ability to metabolize glucose, xylose, arabinose, mannose and galactose from lignocellulose at approximately the same metabolic rate. The difference (v, in g / L / h) in the metabolic rate of MP11 for any two sugars among glucose, xylose, arabinose, mannose and galactose is 1 -v 2 ) accounts for v 1 and v 2 The percentage does not exceed 20%.

The recycling of fermentation wastewater reduces the discharge of ammonia nitrogen wastewater, reduces the use of fresh nitrogen sources, and controls production costs. The fermentation wastewater is recycled to provide part of the nitrogen source. The fermentation strain has good tolerance to the composition of the fermentation wastewater. At the same time, the high solid content fermentation method is used to improve the conversion efficiency and reduce the amount of cellulase. The fermentation indicators of fermentation wastewater used for the combined production of single-cell protein and microbial oil are stable. Fermentation wastewater can be recycled many times. The present application utilizes renewable lignocellulosic raw materials and cheap inorganic nitrogen sources, and uses engineered microorganisms to convert them into high-value-added single-cell proteins and microbial oils under the premise of strictly limiting the discharge of ammonia nitrogen wastewater, which has significant economic benefits.
