Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial industrial fermentation technology, specifically relating to a fermentation method that can significantly increase the fermentation unit of tylosin. Background Technology

[0002] Tylosin is a macrolide antibiotic that was obtained in the United States in 1959 from a culture of Streptomyces freundii. It is a Class III new veterinary drug in China, with a broad antibacterial spectrum and high antibacterial activity against a variety of Gram-positive bacteria and some Gram-negative bacteria. It is the first-line drug for mycoplasma diseases in livestock and poultry.

[0003] Currently, domestic research on the biosynthesis of tylosin using fermentation mainly focuses on improving fermentation levels through strain selection and optimization of fermentation processes. However, process optimization often involves selecting different types of soybean oil and soybean meal, which does not significantly improve potency and results in high raw material costs, making it difficult to apply to large-scale production.

[0004] In 1999, Qi Wei et al., in their study "The Influence of Carbon Source on Tylosin Yield," compared the tylosin production capacity under conditions where starch and vegetable oil were used as carbon sources, finding that using rapeseed oil as a carbon source increased tylosin yield by 79%. In 2002, Peng Haiping, in her study "The Influence of Culture Medium Composition on Tylosin Yield," first used a single-factor method to select the optimal carbon and nitrogen sources, and then used the Plackett-Burman design method to screen out the important factors affecting tylosin yield. Ultimately, process optimization reduced the fermentation cost of tylosin. In 2020, Yang Guangyao, in his study "The Influence of Carbon-Nitrogen Ratio on Tylosin Fermentation," based on the original fermentation culture medium, kept the carbon source (corn flour) content and other components and contents unchanged, and increased the potency of tylosin by 11.2% through the addition of soybean meal. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as high raw material costs and low potency, this invention provides a high-level fermentation method for producing tylosin. This process improves the early potency increase of tylosin by adjusting the culture cycle of the secondary seed tank. At the same time, by optimizing the fermentation medium formula and controlling the fermentation process, the potency of tylosin in the final fermentation broth is increased by more than 30% compared with that before optimization, providing guidance for large-scale production.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A method for high-level fermentation production of tylosin includes, in sequence, slant culture, shake flask seed culture, primary seed tank culture, secondary seed tank culture and fermenter culture; The secondary seed tank is used for culturing for more than 40 hours before transplanting. During the cultivation in the fermenter, polypeptide powder was used as the nitrogen source of the fermentation medium for cultivation.

[0007] In the present invention, by optimizing the cultivation cycle of the secondary seed tank and simultaneously optimizing the medium formula, the yield of tylosin was significantly increased.

[0008] Furthermore, by controlling the fermentation conditions, the yield of tylosin was further increased. Preferably, after fermentation cultivation, the viscosity of the fermentation broth was measured every 24 hours, and it was more appropriate to maintain the viscosity of the fermentation broth at about 1200 - 1400 mPa·s by timely adding sterile water.

Detailed implementation manners

[0025] Fermentation method of tylosin: a) Slant culture Prepare the plate medium according to the ratio, make up the volume with purified water, and sub-pack into a triangular flask containing agar powder. Sterilize with steam at 121.0 ± 2.0 °C for 30 ± 1 minute. After the plate cools to 70 - 80 °C, pour it into a sterile plate. After the medium coagulates, randomly select a plate or slant, place it in an incubator at 30 ± 2 °C for 2 days, and visually check for colony growth.

[0033] The composition (by weight) of the culture medium in the secondary seed tank was as follows: 0.4% low-temperature soybean meal, 1.8% corn flour, 0.6% corn steep liquor, 2.0% soybean oil, 0.4% calcium carbonate, 0.7% corn gluten meal, 1.2% cottonseed meal, 0.3% fish meal, 0.2% yeast powder, 0.04% diammonium hydrogen phosphate, and the remainder was water.

[0034] The fermentation medium components (by mass percentage) are: corn flour 4.0%, soybean oil 1.5%, calcium carbonate 0.8%, corn gluten meal 4.0%, fish meal 1.5%, betaine hydrochloride 0.08%, cottonseed gluten meal 0.8%, potassium chloride 0.5%, cobalt chloride 0.005%, nickel sulfate 0.001%, and the remainder is water.

[0035] The present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments, and the specific results are as follows.

[0036] Example 1: Experiment on the Periodic Adjustment of the Secondary Seed Tank 1. Shake-flask seed culture: The shake-flask seed culture medium composition (by weight percentage) is: corn steep liquor 1.5%, soybean meal 0.5%, yeast extract 0.5%, soybean oil 0.4%, light calcium carbonate 0.3%, and the remainder is water. Sterilize before use.

[0037] Slant spores were inoculated into sterilized shake flask seed culture medium and cultured at 30°C for 30 hours to obtain shake flask seed solution.

[0038] 2. Primary seed culture: The primary seed culture medium consists of: 0.6% soybean meal, 0.5% corn flour, 1.5% corn steep liquor, 1.0% soybean oil, 0.6% calcium carbonate, 0.04% defoamer, and the remainder is water. Sterilize and use as needed.

[0039] The shake flask seed culture was inoculated into sterilized primary seed culture medium, and cultured at 30°C, dissolved oxygen 30%, and pressure 0.03 MPa for 30 hours with stirring to obtain primary seed culture.

[0040] 3. Secondary seed culture: The secondary seed culture medium consisted of: 0.4% low-temperature soybean meal, 1.8% corn flour, 0.6% corn steep liquor, 2.0% soybean oil, 0.4% calcium carbonate, 0.7% corn gluten meal, 1.2% cottonseed meal, 0.3% fish meal, 0.2% yeast powder, 0.04% diammonium hydrogen phosphate, with the remainder being water. It was sterilized and prepared for use.

[0041] The seed culture obtained in process 2 was inoculated into a sterilized secondary culture medium at an inoculation rate of 20%. The culture temperature was 30℃, dissolved oxygen was 30%, and the pressure was 0.04 MPa. The mixture was stirred and cultured for 45 hours to obtain the secondary seed culture.

[0042] 4. Fermentation culture: The fermentation medium consists of: 4.0% corn flour, 1.5% soybean oil, 0.8% calcium carbonate, 4.0% corn gluten meal, 1.5% fish meal, 0.08% betaine hydrochloride, 0.8% cottonseed gluten meal, 0.5% potassium chloride, 0.005% cobalt chloride, 0.001% nickel sulfate, and the remainder is water. Sterilize and use as is.

[0043] The seed culture obtained in process 3 was inoculated into sterilized fermentation medium at an inoculum rate of 20%. The culture temperature was 30℃, dissolved oxygen was 30%, and the pressure was 0.04 MPa. The mixture was stirred. The initial potency of the fermentation broth was measured after about 30 hours, and fermentation was stopped after 170 hours.

[0044]

[0045] The data above clearly show that in the small-scale test, the initial titer of the secondary seed cultured for 40-50 hours was higher than that of the cultured for 34 hours, and the titer after transfer to the fermentation tank was also higher. To further verify whether the shorter culture period of the secondary seed was the reason for the lower initial titer of fermentation, we cultured the secondary seed in the fermentation tank for 34 hours and then transferred it. The titer results are as follows:

[0046] As can be seen from the table above, shortening the culture period of the secondary seed tank to 34 hours resulted in a significant decrease in the initial titer of the fermentation broth, similar to the batch cultured for 34 hours. This indicates that insufficient seed age in the secondary tank leads to a low initial titer in the fermenter. Therefore, it was ultimately decided to culture the secondary seed for approximately 40-50 hours before transplanting.

[0054] The seed culture obtained in process 3 was inoculated into sterilized fermentation medium at a 20% inoculum rate.

[0055] After 45 hours of cultivation in the secondary seed tank, the secondary seed liquid was transferred to the fermenter. The fermenter used polypeptide powder as the nitrogen source for fermentation. The relevant data are shown in the table below.

[0056]

[0057] The data above clearly shows that using polypeptide powder as the nitrogen source for tylosin fermentation increases the fermentation broth potency by about 10% compared to the original formula.
