Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microbial fermentation, and in particular to a method for increasing acarbose fermentation units. Background Art

[0002] Acarbose is a secondary metabolite produced by Actinoplanes sp. It is a pseudotetrasaccharide substance of the C7N-aminocyclyl class. It can competitively inhibit α-glucosidase in the intestine and effectively reduce postprandial blood sugar in diabetic patients. Due to its good pharmacokinetic characteristics and low toxicity, it is widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In addition to its hypoglycemic effect, acarbose can also help diabetic patients lose weight, lower blood lipids, and improve intestinal function.

[0003] Acarbose is a secondary metabolite produced by microbial fermentation. Its biosynthetic pathway is complex and there are many structural analogs of metabolites. The increase in acarbose production is greatly affected by the physiological characteristics of the strain itself, but the optimization of various fermentation conditions is also crucial. The fermentation medium is a nutrient matrix for the growth, reproduction and metabolism of microorganisms, which contains carbon sources, nitrogen sources, inorganic salts and other growth factors. At present, the research on acarbose fermentation medium mainly focuses on the ratio of glucose and maltose in the fermentation broth, different nitrogen sources and their added concentrations. As the precursor and main nutrient for the synthesis of acarbose, the research on carbon and nitrogen sources has improved the fermentation level of acarbose to a certain extent, but there are still certain technical barriers to the fermentation process.

[0004] In addition to carbon and nitrogen sources, some inorganic ions have an important influence on microbial growth and product synthesis. The fermentation medium adapted to acarbose-producing strains usually contains several metal ions such as calcium, iron, potassium and sodium, but other trace elements, such as zinc, copper, cobalt, magnesium, copper, manganese, etc., as components or activators of enzymes, or their metal salts affect the pH of the medium, etc., and also have a certain regulatory effect on microbial metabolic activities and metabolic flow.
