Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bioengineering, and specifically discloses an organic nitrogen source-free culture medium for producing 1,3-propanediol by fermentation of Clostridium butyricum and an application fermentation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] 1,3-propylene glycol (1,3-PDO) is an important chemical raw material. It can be used as a solvent, antifreeze agent, protective agent, etc. It can also be used as a monomer to synthesize polyester, polyether, polyurethane, etc. Its most important use is as a monomer to synthesize polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT). Compared with traditional fiber materials, PTT has many characteristics such as superior UV resistance, low static electricity, low surface tension, strong anti-fouling ability, good resilience, biodegradability and room temperature dyeing. It has huge market prospects in the fields of clothing, carpets, interior decoration, etc., so the market demand for 1,3-propylene glycol continues to rise.

[0003] In the industrial production process of 1,3-propylene glycol, cost is a key factor in industrialization. In the process of industrial microbial fermentation of glycerol to produce 1,3-propylene glycol, the commonly used culture medium mainly uses yeast extract as an organic nitrogen source to provide nutrients such as proteins, peptides, amino acids, nucleotides, vitamins, trace elements, etc. for microbial growth and metabolism, and the addition amount is usually 2-4g / L. Yeast extract is a relatively expensive organic nitrogen source. For example, the price of Angel yeast extract FM888 is about 60 yuan / kg. The use of yeast extract as an organic nitrogen source increases the cost of auxiliary materials for microbial fermentation to produce 1,3-propylene glycol. The raw material cost of fermentation to produce 1,3-propylene glycol is mainly the substrate glycerol, followed by the organic nitrogen source yeast extract. In addition, the color of the fermentation broth with yeast extract is usually yellow, and 1,3-propylene glycol needs to be decolorized in the later stage, which increases the separation cost.

[0004] Therefore, a low-cost organic nitrogen source-free culture medium and a method for applying it to the fermentation of sugar and glycerol as co-substrates to produce 1,3-propylene glycol are developed to further improve the economic efficiency of industrial microbial fermentation to produce 1,3-propylene glycol, reduce the color of the fermentation broth after fermentation, and reduce the difficulty of separating and decolorizing 1,3-propylene glycol in the later stage, thereby reducing the fermentation and separation costs of 1,3-propylene glycol, which is of great practical significance for the industrial production of 1,3-propylene glycol. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an improved fermentation medium and a co-substrate fermentation method for producing 1,3-propanediol by fermenting carbon sources with Clostridium butyricum based on the improved medium, so that Clostridium butyricum can produce 1,3-propanediol that is easy to separate and decolorize in the later stage with higher economy and efficiency.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A culture medium without an organic nitrogen source for producing 1,3-propanediol by fermentation of Clostridium butyricum, wherein a mixed vitamin solution is added to the culture medium for producing 1,3-propanediol by fermentation of carbon source of Clostridium butyricum to replace the organic nitrogen source, wherein the mixed vitamin solution contains vitamin B1 and vitamin B7, wherein each liter of the mixed vitamin solution contains: 20-837 mg of vitamin B1 and 4-56.21 mg of vitamin B7, the addition amount of the mixed vitamin solution is 1 mL / L, and the pH of the mixed vitamin solution is 3.0-7.5;

[0008] The butyric clostridium is butyric clostridium DL07, and its preservation number is CGMCC NO:17934.

[0009] Furthermore, the mixed vitamin solution also contains at least one of vitamin B5, vitamin B6 and vitamin B9.

[0010] Furthermore, each liter of the mixed vitamin solution contains: vitamin B5 3-768 mg, vitamin B6 1-300 mg or vitamin B9 1-60 mg.

[0011] Furthermore, the culture medium contains a carbon source, which is glycerol or a mixture of glycerol and sugars, with a glycerol concentration of 20-80 g / L and a sugar concentration of 0-80 g / L.

[0012] Furthermore, the sugar is any one of glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose, galactose, lactose, xylose, mannose, starch hydrolysate, and lignocellulose hydrolysate.

[0013] A method for producing 1,3-propylene glycol by fermenting Clostridium butyricum, wherein the fermentation is carried out under anaerobic conditions, Clostridium butyricum is used as the fermentation strain, and is inoculated into the culture medium according to any one of claims 1 to 5 for batch or batch fed-batch fermentation, the fermentation culture temperature is 34-39°C, the stirring speed is 150-300 r / min, and the pH of the fermentation liquid is controlled to be 6.3-7.5.

[0014] Furthermore, when the fermentation method is batch feeding fermentation, the feed is glycerol, and the glycerol concentration in the fermentation broth is maintained at 10-40 g / L.

[0015] Furthermore, when the fermentation method is batch feeding fermentation, the feed is a mixture of glycerol and sugar, and the ratio of glycerol to sugar is (20-1):1 (g / g).

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The culture medium components are simple, easy to obtain and inexpensive. Low-cost vitamin solution is used to replace the expensive organic nitrogen source yeast extract powder in the culture medium. When the conversion rate is similar, the cost of the improved culture medium without organic nitrogen source is reduced by nearly 99% compared with the traditional culture medium containing organic nitrogen source yeast extract powder. At the same time, relatively cheap sugar solution is used to partially replace glycerol to improve the conversion rate of glycerol, which can significantly reduce the fermentation cost of industrial microbial fermentation to produce 1,3-propylene glycol.

[0018] 2. Using vitamin solution to replace the expensive organic nitrogen source yeast extract powder in the culture medium to ferment Clostridium butyricum to produce 1,3-propylene glycol can obtain a lighter-colored 1,3-propylene glycol fermentation broth, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of subsequent 1,3-propylene glycol separation.

[0054] Comparative Example 1

[0055] Fermentation medium containing organic nitrogen source (g / L): glycerol 20-80, KH2PO4 1.36, (NH4)2SO4 6.61, MgCl2·6H2O 0.26, CaCl2 0.29, citric acid 0.42, yeast extract powder (Angel Yeast FM888) 2, and 5 mL of mixed trace element solution and 10 mL of saturated hydrochloric acid solution.

[0057] Example 9

[0058] The culture medium of Example 1 was used for batch feed fermentation to produce 1,3-propylene glycol.

Nitrogen was introduced at a rate of 0.05 vvm 1 h before and after inoculation, and 5 mol / L sodium hydroxide was used as a pH regulator. The culture conditions were: pH 6.5, temperature 37°C, and stirring speed 250 r / min. The initial glycerol concentration of the fermentation culture was 40 g / L. When the glycerol concentration dropped to 10 g / L, 80% glycerol was started to be fed to maintain the glycerol concentration at 20 g / L. The fermentation results are shown in Table 1. The final 1,3-propylene glycol concentration was 87.28 g / L, and the conversion rate was 0.521 g / g glycerol.

[0059] The content of B vitamins in the fermented liquid before and after the fermentation of the embodiment is measured, and it is found that VB1 is fully consumed when the fermentation ends, which shows that VB1 may be involved in the fermentation of Clostridium butyricum DL07. In addition, there are also 4 kinds of B vitamins (VB5, VB6, VB7 and VB9) whose concentrations decrease after fermentation, and wherein VB5 consumes the most, and may be involved in cell metabolism to a certain extent. VB7 is the auxiliary factor of carboxylase, and usually catalyzes the carboxylation reaction that carbon dioxide participates in, and is closely related to cell growth and energy metabolism.

[0077] Comparative Example 2

[0078] Clostridium butyricum fermented 1,3-propanediol in an organic nitrogen source yeast extract fermentation medium. The fermentation medium was the medium of control example 1, and 5 mol / L sodium hydroxide was used as a pH regulator during fermentation. The activated Clostridium butyricum DL07 was inoculated with a 10% (v / v) inoculum into a fermenter containing an organic nitrogen source yeast extract medium.

The final 1,3-propanediol concentration was 84.86g / L, and the conversion rate was 0.520g / g glycerol.

[0079] From the analysis of Table 1, it can be seen that the cost of organic nitrogen source yeast extract powder for producing 1 ton of 1,3-propylene glycol is 1,500 yuan (the price of Angel yeast extract powder FM888 is 60 yuan / kg). The cost of mixed vitamins for producing 1 ton of 1,3-propylene glycol is 3.4-8.2 yuan (the price of vitamin B1 is 250 yuan / kg, the price of vitamin B2 is 300 yuan / kg, the price of vitamin B5 is 350 yuan / kg, the price of vitamin B6 is 300 yuan / kg, the price of vitamin B7 is 3000 yuan / kg, and the price of vitamin B9 is 400 yuan / kg). Under similar conversion rates, compared with the traditional culture medium containing organic nitrogen source yeast extract powder, the cost of the improved culture medium without organic nitrogen source is reduced by nearly 99%. It can be seen that the improved culture medium reduces the fermentation cost.

[0080] In addition, the color of the fermentation liquid after fermentation using the culture medium of Control Example 1 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the yellow color is relatively heavy, which brings difficulties to the subsequent purification of 1,3-propanediol.
