Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of antibiotic fermentation, and particularly relates to a fermentation method for improving the titer of lincomycin. Background Art

[0002] Lincomycin (LCM), also known as lincomycin, belongs to the lincosamide antibiotics. It was isolated from an actinomycete in the soil near Lincoln, Nebraska in 1962, and lincomycin was isolated from the culture broth of this bacterium. Lincomycin has strong resistance to Gram-positive bacteria, no cross-infection with existing antibiotics, and low toxicity. Therefore, it is widely used clinically to treat diseases caused by Gram-positive bacteria.

[0003] Researchers have found that adding some substances to the fermentation medium or during the fermentation process can effectively improve the titer of lincomycin. For example, adding metal ions, amino acids, biotin, surfactants, and the key precursor of lincomycin, propylproline, etc. during the fermentation process can significantly improve the titer of lincomycin A. However, compared with foreign countries, the existing technology for producing lincomycin in China still has problems such as low yield and long fermentation cycle. Vitamin B has unique physiological functions and is a biologically active substance that maintains cell growth. It plays a regulatory and controlling role in cell metabolism and is essential for the life activities of microorganisms. Generally, it acts as a coenzyme of enzymes, and can also provide reducing power NADH and NADPH for the growth and metabolism of bacteria, accelerate sugar consumption and cell substance synthesis, promote product synthesis, and increase yield. However, the yield of lincomycin in the existing technology is relatively low. Therefore, a fermentation method capable of improving the titer of lincomycin is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Among them, the addition amount of the B vitamins is 0.005 - 0.08% of the mass of the medium used during fermentation.

[0008] Among them, the composition of the fermentation medium is as follows: soybean cake powder 1.2%, soluble starch 3.0%, glucose 3.5%, corn steep liquor 1.4%, NaCl 0.2%, (NH4)2SO4 0.54%, NaNO3 0.4%, NH4NO3 0.15%, MgSO4·7H2O 0.15%, KH2PO4 0.05%, CaCO3 0.5%, antifoam agent 0.03%, sodium hydroxide flakes 0.1%.

[0009] Among them, the pH of the fermentation medium is 7.2.

[0010] Among them, the fermentation culture conditions include: temperature is 30±1°C, pressure is 0.02 - 0.04 MPa, and the fermentation culture period is 160 - 180 h.

[0011] The technical solution of the present invention has at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0012] The present invention utilizes the influence of B vitamins on microorganisms, adds lipoic acid, VB1, and VB12 during the fermentation process, significantly improves the titer of lincomycin.
