Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to a chemical catalyst-microbial carbon fixation system for improving the utilization efficiency of H2 and its application, belonging to the field of biochemistry. Background Art
[0002] Biological carbon fixation is an important functional basis for the stability and development of the biosphere. In the context of the increasingly severe environmental crisis and energy shortage problems, its technical and engineering significance has gradually attracted attention and emphasis. Using carbon-fixing microorganisms as a platform to catalytically fix CO2 in various energy forms and then fix it into various energy sources and chemicals can effectively combine carbon fixation and emission reduction with green synthesis, which is of great significance for alleviating resource crises, reducing environmental pollution, and promoting social sustainable development.
[0003] Acetogens are a class of obligate anaerobic chemoautotrophic microorganisms. They synthesize acetyl-CoA and derivatives of acetyl-CoA, such as acetic acid, ethanol, etc., through the linear Wood-Ljungdahl pathway (also known as the reductive acetyl-CoA pathway) to achieve the process of terminal electron acceptance and energy conservation and carry out autotrophic growth. Different from the Calvin cycle and other pathways that fix CO2 through cyclic reactions, the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway has less dependence on central metabolism or is less interfered by it, and has unique advantages from the perspective of high throughput required for industrial applications.
[0004] All naturally occurring acetogens are CO2-fixing, anaerobic, autotrophic, and non-methanotrophic. Since CO2 can only be used as a carbon source and its fixation requires additional energy, acetogens use the energy released by H2 or CO oxidation to generate reducing power for CO2 fixation and ATP synthesis.
[0005] Using CO as an energy donor, acetogens fix CO2 and produce ethanol and other products, which have been industrialized (Nat Biotech 2022, 40: 335). However, when using CO as an energy source to produce ethanol, two-thirds of the carbon will be discharged in the form of CO2, resulting in poor carbon atom economy. Therefore, adding H2 can provide energy to re-fix the CO2 generated by CO oxidation and promote carbon recycling.
[0006] Using H2 as an energy donor for acetogens to fix CO2 is the future development trend, but there are currently great deficiencies, mainly manifested in low gas utilization and energy conversion efficiency, long carbon fixation and circulation periods, low product yield and productivity, only producing acetic acid and not producing ethanol, etc., resulting in low added value of products, which greatly limits the efficient biological conversion and utilization of CO2.
[0007] When acetogenic bacteria use H2 as an energy donor, hydrogenase plays a key role; hydrogenase captures H2 and catalyzes the oxidation of H2. Through electron disproportionation reactions, coenzymes such as reduced ferredoxin and NAD(P)H are produced for the conversion and utilization of CO2. Since the solubility of H2 in the liquid phase is extremely low, it is difficult for intracellular hydrogenase to capture H2, affecting the continuous and efficient supply of coenzymes and limiting the biological fixation efficiency of CO2.
[0008] Through artificial design and modification, integrating artificial functional material components into biological metabolic activities, supplementing or even replacing some biological components, constructing microbial-artificial material chimeras, and realizing the functional chimerism of "biology-materials", are expected to play a role in major directions such as the efficient conversion and utilization of energy and artificial carbon fixation.
[0009] For example, a chimeric system of the non-photosynthetic autotrophic microorganism Moorella thermoacetica and the semiconductor material cadmium sulfide has been reported. Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles on the cell surface of this chimeric system capture solar energy to generate extracellular electrons, and microbial cells use these electrons to generate reducing power extracellularly or intracellularly, and fix CO2 through the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway, ultimately achieving light-driven acetic acid synthesis (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2016, 113(42): 11750-11755).
[0010] Another example is that indium phosphide particles are assembled onto the surface of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells by virtue of the interaction between polyphenols and the cell wall, constructing a chimera of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the semiconductor material indium phosphide. Yeast cells use the nanoparticles on the surface to obtain photo-generated electrons and use them for the regeneration of the redox cofactor NADPH, promoting the efficient synthesis of the metabolite shikimic acid (Science 2018, 362, 813-816).
[0011] Another example is that East China Normal University reported an in vivo non-metallic inorganic semiconductor-microorganism hybrid system. The semiconductor material C3N4·QDs has good biocompatibility and appropriate size, and enters Escherichia coli cells by endocytosis to form an in vivo inorganic semiconductor-microorganism hybrid system. Inside Escherichia coli cells, a C3N4·QDs / NAD + junction is formed through unique π-π electron conjugation, directly photocatalyzing inside the bacteria to achieve efficient hydrogen production.
[0012] The hydrogenase-mimicking catalyst is a heterogeneous catalyst with hydrogen activation ability designed by mimicking the function of hydrogenase, and it contains a carrier and an active center. The carrier is usually carbon nanotubes, silica, graphene, graphene oxide, carbon dots or magnetite, etc. The active center is generally metal nanoparticles such as iron, cobalt, nickel, palladium and platinum. The carrier can increase the stability of the hydrogenase-mimicking catalyst, accelerate electron transfer, and be used for the immobilization of the metal active center. The hydrogenase-mimicking catalyst can achieve efficient activation of hydrogen under normal temperature and pressure.
[0013] When the hydrogenase-mimicking catalyst is applied to the gas fermentation system of acetic acid-producing bacteria, it can efficiently activate hydrogen extracellularly, and the extracellular electrons generated can be transferred to the intracellular to generate reducing power by electron carriers or acceptors such as riboflavin, metal ions, and respiratory enzymes, which is expected to achieve efficient utilization of H2 and efficient fixation of CO2.
[0014] No research or application on the hybrid system of the hydrogenase-mimicking catalyst and acetic acid-producing bacteria has been found in the patents and literature disclosed in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0034] It should be noted that the present invention improves the utilization efficiency of H2, thereby improving the fixation efficiency of CO2 in the environment and increasing the yield of the target product. Different proportions of CO2 in the C1 gas raw material and different target products result in different requirements for the proportion of H2.

[0036] It should be noted that the above carbon fixation products are directly or indirectly synthesized by acetogenic bacteria through the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway. It is understandable for those skilled in the art that in the process of microbial carbon fixation of the carbon fixation system provided by this application, other products besides natural products such as acetic acid and ethanol can be synthesized by gas fermentation through the transformation of strains. Therefore, the carbon fixation products referred to in this application are not limited to the above products.
[0037] As known to those skilled in the art, some acetogenic bacteria can grow autotrophically using CO and synthesize products. During this process, a part of CO will be converted into CO2 and discharged.

Therefore, it is understandable for those skilled in the art that the solution of this application can also be applied to the process of H2 and CO fermentation.
[0038] It should be noted that according to the different activities of the catalyst and different fermentation methods and techniques, the dosage of the hydrogenase-mimicking catalyst to achieve the best effect may be different. The protection scope of this solution should not be limited by the catalyst content in the system.
[0039] The beneficial effects of this application include but are not limited to:
[0040] 1. The carbon fixation system for efficiently utilizing H2 according to this application significantly improves the utilization efficiency of H2 and CO2 gases, significantly increases the concentration of acids and alcohols in the products, reduces the acid-alcohol ratio, and also significantly increases the biomass of acetogenic bacteria.

The domesticated bacterial solution was then transferred at an inoculation amount of 10% to 50 mL of PETC gas medium (CO2 + H2, with a ratio of 4:6), and fermented in a shaking flask at 37°C.
[0092] Example 1 Comparative experiment on the addition amount of Co@NCNT - Clostridium ljungdahlii hybrid system catalyst
[0093] 1) The activated Clostridium ljungdahlii DSM 13528 bacterial solution was transferred at an inoculation amount of 10% to another 50 mL of PETC gas medium (CO2 + H2, with a ratio of 4:6 and a pressure of 0.1 - 0.2 MPa) for adaptive cultivation until the OD 600nm value was about 0.2, and then subcultured in the PETC gas medium (CO2 + H2, with a ratio of 4:6 and a pressure of 0.1 - 0.2 MPa) for more than 2 generations to enable the strain to thoroughly adapt to growing with CO2 as the carbon source.
[0094] 2) Weigh 2.5 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg of Co@NCNT catalyst respectively, resuspend them with 500 μL of PETC medium, and add them to anaerobic flasks containing 50 mL of PETC medium respectively. Subsequently, each anaerobic flask was filled with CO2 + H2 gas (with a ratio of 4:6 and a pressure of 0.2 MPa).
[0095] 3) The domesticated bacterial solution from step 1) above was transferred at an inoculation amount of 10% to the above - mentioned 50 mL of PETC gas medium containing different dosages of the hydrogenase - mimicking catalyst, and fermented in a shaking flask at 37°C.
[0096] The results are as Figure 2 shown. Compared with the fermentation of Clostridium ljungdahlii, for the hybrid system fermenting CO2 + H2 with the addition of the catalyst, the cell biomass, acetic acid concentration, and ethanol concentration were all improved. At a 50 - mL scale, adding 5 mg (0.1 g / L) of the catalyst had the best effect. The biomass and acetic acid concentration increased by about 100%, and the ethanol concentration increased nearly 3 - fold, reaching 0.65 g / L. In addition, adding 0.2 g / L of the catalyst had a relatively slow growth of primary cells during fermentation, but in the later stage of fermentation, the fermentation effect was comparable to that of the 0.1 g / L catalyst, indicating that at a higher cell concentration, adding a higher dosage of the catalyst is expected to have a better fermentation effect.

[0145] Example 10 Co@NCNT - Clostridium ljungdahlii 50 L Scale Gas Fermentation Experiment
[0146] 1) The activated Clostridium ljungdahlii DSM 13528 bacterial solution was sub - transferred to 50 mL of PETC gas medium (CO2 + H2, ratio 1:3, pressure 0.1 - 0.2 MPa) at an inoculation amount of 10%, and adaptively cultured until the OD 600nm value was around 0.2, and then sub - cultured for more than 2 generations in the PETC gas medium (CO2 + H2, ratio 1:3, pressure 0.1 - 0.2 MPa) to enable the strain to thoroughly adapt to growing with CO2 as the carbon source.
[0147] 2) Use a 5 L fermenter as the seed tank, transfer the domesticated bacterial solution to 4 L of PETC medium (gas supply: CO2 + H2, ratio 1:3, pressure 0.1 MPa) at an inoculation amount of 10%, and after culturing at 37 °C for 48 h, use it as the seed liquid for culturing in a larger - scale fermenter.
[0148] 3) Select a 50 L fermenter, add 40 L of PETC gas medium and 4 g of Co@NCNT catalyst. Inoculate the seed liquid into the 50 L fermenter (gas supply: CO2 + H2, ratio 1:3), with a fermentation temperature of 37 °C, maintain the fermentation pH at around 5.6, control the pressure at around 0.1 Mpa, ferment until 192 h, and supplement nitrogen source, sulfur source and Fe 2+ as needed during the process. Take samples every 12 h to monitor the changes in biomass and product yield.
[0149] The results are as Figure 11 shown. Compared with Comparative Example 4, for the Co@NCNT - Clostridium ljungdahlii hybrid system fermenting CO2 + H2 on a 50 L scale, the cell biomass and acetic acid concentration increased by about 50%. The acetic acid concentration reached 30 g / L, and the ethanol concentration reached 25 g / L, an increase of one order of magnitude.
[0150] Example 11 Co@NCNT - Clostridium ljungdahlii 50 L Scale Gas Fermentation Optimization Experiment
[0151] Based on the reaction equations for synthesizing acetic acid and ethanol from CO2 + H2, it can be seen that two molecules of CO2 and four molecules of H2 produce one molecule of acetic acid, with a CO2:H2 ratio of 1:2; two molecules of CO2 and six molecules of H2 produce one molecule of ethanol, with a CO2:H2 ratio of 1:3. At the same time, considering that the far lower amount of H2 than CO2 leads to mass transfer limitation, the proportion of H2 is further increased to 80% during the fermentation process. Meanwhile, in order to enable the intracellular metabolism of Clostridium ljungdahlii to rapidly respond to the extracellular electrons provided by the activation of H2 by the catalyst, the catalyst is added during the strain cultivation stage. Furthermore, based on the requirement for a higher cell density, the catalyst is supplemented in a 50L-scale fermenter.
[0152] The specific operations of this example are as follows:
[0153] 1) The activated Clostridium ljungdahlii DSM 13528 bacterial liquid is sub-cultured at an inoculation amount of 10% into another 50 mL PETC gas medium (CO2 + H2, with a ratio of 1:3 and a pressure of 0.1 - 0.2 MPa), and adaptively cultured until the OD 600nm value is about 0.2, and then sub-cultured for more than 2 generations in the PETC gas medium (CO2 + H2, with a ratio of 1:3 and a pressure of 0.1 - 0.2 MPa) to enable the strain to thoroughly adapt to growing with CO2 as the carbon source.
[0154] 2) Using a 5L fermenter as the seed tank, add 4L of PETC medium and 0.4 g of Co@NCNT catalyst (gas supply is CO2 + H2, with a ratio of 1:3 and a pressure of 0.1 MPa). The domesticated bacterial liquid is transferred to the 5L fermenter at an inoculation amount of 10%. After culturing at 37°C for 48 h, it is used as the seed liquid for culturing in a larger-scale fermenter.
[0155] 3) Select a 50L fermenter, add 40L of PETC gas medium and 4 g of Co@NCNT catalyst. Inoculate the seed liquid into the 50L fermenter (gas supply is CO2 + H2, with a ratio of 1:4), the fermentation temperature is 37°C, the fermentation pH is maintained at about 5.6, the pressure is controlled at about 0.1 Mpa. During the process, nitrogen source, sulfur source and Fe 2+ are supplemented as needed. Samples are taken every 12 h to monitor the changes in biomass and product yields. When the OD 600nm reaches about 2, 4 g of Co@NCNT catalyst is supplemented, and the fermentation continues for 216 hours.
[0156] The results are as Figure 12 shown. Compared with Comparative Example 4, for the optimized Co@NCNT - Clostridium ljungdahlii hybrid system fermenting CO2 + H2 on a 50L scale, the cell biomass has increased by 100%, the acetic acid concentration has increased by 60% and reached 36 g / L, and the ethanol concentration has reached 45 g / L, an increase of 20 times.
[0157] Clostridium carboxidivorans 50 ml scale gas fermentation experiment of comparative example 5
[0158] The activated Clostridium carboxidivorans P7 DSM15243T bacterial liquid was transferred to 50 mL of PETC gas medium (synthesis gas of 20% - 90% CO, and the rest was CO2 and H2, pressure 0.15 - 0.2 MPa) at an inoculation amount of 10%, and adaptively cultured until the OD 600nm value was about 0.6, and subcultured in the PETC gas medium for more than 2 generations to make the strain completely adapt to grow with synthesis gas as the carbon source. The domesticated bacterial liquid was transferred to 50 mL of PETC gas medium (synthesis gas of 40% CO, 40% H2, 10% CO2 and N2 as the main gas source, pressure 0.2 MPa) at an inoculation amount of 10%, and fermented and cultured in a shaking flask at 37°C.
[0159] Example 12 Co@NCNT - Clostridium carboxidivorans 50 ml scale gas fermentation experiment
[0160] 1) The activated Clostridium carboxidivorans P7 DSM15243T bacterial liquid was transferred to 50 mL of PETC gas medium (synthesis gas of 20% - 90% CO, and the rest was CO2 and H2, pressure 0.15 - 0.2 MPa) at an inoculation amount of 10%, and adaptively cultured until the OD 600nm value was about 0.6, and subcultured in the PETC gas medium for more than 2 generations to make the strain completely adapt to grow with synthesis gas as the carbon source. The domesticated bacterial liquid was then transferred to 50 mL of PETC gas medium containing Co@NCNT catalyst (synthesis gas of 40% CO, 40% H2, 10% CO2 and N2 as the main gas source) at an inoculation amount of 10% simultaneously, and fermented and cultured in a shaking flask at 37°C.
[0161] 2) Take 5 mg of Co@NCNT catalyst, resuspend it with 500 μL of PETC medium, and add it to an anaerobic flask containing 50 ml of PETC medium. Subsequently, the anaerobic flask was filled with synthesis gas (40% CO, 40% H2, 10% CO2 and N2, pressure 0.2 MPa).
[0162] 3) The domesticated bacterial liquid was inoculated into the above - mentioned PETC gas medium containing Co@NCNT catalyst at 10%, and cultured and fermented at a constant temperature of 37°C. Samples were taken every 24 h to monitor the biomass and products.
[0163] The results are as Figure 13 shown. Compared with comparative example 5, for the Co@NCNT - Clostridium carboxidivorans hybrid system fermenting CO + CO2 + H2, the biomass and acetic acid concentration increased by 20%, the butyric acid and hexanoic acid concentrations nearly doubled, the ethanol and butanol concentrations increased by about 70%, and the hexanol concentration increased by 2 times.

[0167]
[0168] According to the conventional speculation of those skilled in the art, in view of the growth and metabolite characteristics exhibited by the Co@NCNT-Clostridium autoethanogenum hybrid system under 50 ml scale fermentation conditions, the Co@NCNT-Clostridium autoethanogenum hybrid system should also have higher biomass and product concentrations under larger scale fermentation conditions. Similarly, in view of the growth and metabolite characteristics exhibited by the Co@NCNT-Clostridium carboxidivorans hybrid system under 50 ml scale fermentation conditions, the Co@NCNT-Clostridium carboxidivorans hybrid system should also have higher biomass and product concentrations such as acetic acid, ethanol, butyric acid, butanol and hexanol under larger scale fermentation conditions. In view of the above-mentioned significant technical effects achieved in this application, the technical solution of this application is suitable for application in large-scale industrial production, and has broad application scenarios and economic value, which is of great significance for the industrial implementation of CO2 gas biological fixation using H2 as the energy source.
