Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of low-carbon biomanufacturing, microbial metabolic regulation, and biodegradable plastic synthesis technology, specifically to a method for preparing Fe3O4 nanomaterials and its application in a synthesis-driven, high-efficiency PHB synthesis method. Background Technology
[0002] As a representative material of biodegradable bio-based plastics, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is prepared via a biosynthetic pathway using carbon dioxide by insecticidal copper-killing bacteria, providing core technological support for achieving carbon neutrality goals and addressing the problem of white pollution. However, the low carbon dioxide fixation efficiency and insufficient energy and reducing power supply of chemoautotrophic microorganisms are key bottlenecks restricting the yield of PHB. The Calvin cycle, as the core pathway for carbon dioxide fixation, has limited activity of its key enzymes, resulting in insufficient carbon skeleton supply. At the same time, the ATP and NADPH generated by hydrogen oxidation are insufficient to meet the high demand for PHB synthesis, limiting the targeted allocation of metabolic flow to PHB.
[0003] While existing enhancement strategies, such as genetic engineering, can target and regulate the Calvin cycle or polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesis pathway, they suffer from technical complexity, high cost, poor genetic stability, and environmental risks. Traditional nanomaterials are mostly used as nutritional supplements or carriers, making it difficult to fundamentally achieve synergistic enhancement of carbon fixation, energy supply, and PHB synthesis. Fe3O4 nanomaterials, due to their combination of Fe... 2+ with Fe 3+ Due to its redox properties, it possesses excellent biocompatibility, electron transport capacity, and gas adsorption performance, making it widely used in biomedicine, environmental remediation, and other fields. However, its application in microbial carbon fixation synthesis has not been fully explored. In particular, how to utilize its physicochemical properties to specifically activate the Calvin cycle, simultaneously enhance energy and reducing power supply, and construct a highly efficient "synthesis-driven" metabolic mode is a key focus of current technological research.
[0004] Furthermore, existing research lacks a systematic analysis of the interaction mechanism between Fe3O4 nanomaterials and microorganisms, its concentration-dependent effect, recycling performance, and multi-omics molecular mechanisms, which limits its industrial application. Therefore, developing a synthesis-driven, efficient method for the synthesis of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is of great significance for overcoming existing technological bottlenecks and promoting the industrial production of PHB.
[0005] In conclusion, a new technical solution is urgently needed to address the problems existing in the current technology. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Based on this, the present invention provides a method for preparing Fe3O4 nanomaterials and its application in a synthesis-driven, high-efficiency synthesis method for PHB (polyhydroxybutyrate). The present invention aims to provide a method for preparing Fe3O4 nanomaterials and a synthesis-driven, high-efficiency synthesis method for PHB. Utilizing the unique physicochemical properties of Fe3O4 nanomaterials, it specifically activates the Calvin cycle and the PHB synthesis pathway, simultaneously enhancing energy and reducing power supply, thereby significantly improving PHB yield. Through systematic characterization of the material-microorganism interaction characteristics, optimization of fermentation parameters, and verification of the material's recycling performance and light adaptability, the invention provides technical support for the efficient industrial production of PHB.

[0008] Furthermore, the mass ratio of FeCl3·6H2O to FeSO4·7H2O is 2:(1-5).
[0009] Furthermore, the heating temperature is 50-70°C.
[0010] Furthermore, the pH value is 8-10.
[0011] Furthermore, the Fe3O4 nanomaterial has a granular structure with a particle size of 1-200 nm.
[0012] Another objective of this invention is to provide a synthesis-driven, high-efficiency method for synthesizing PHB, comprising the aforementioned Fe3O4 nanomaterial, and including the following steps: S1, will Cupriavidus necator (C.necator ; Cn) The preserved strain was inoculated into broth medium, activated, and then amplified in fructose medium to the logarithmic phase. After that, it was transferred to nitrogen-limited basal medium and acclimated in an H2 atmosphere to obtain a highly active seed culture. S2. The highly active seed culture is inoculated into a nitrogen-limited basal medium, and a mixture of H2, CO2 and air is filled to form a fermentation system. S3. Add Fe3O4 nanomaterials to the fermentation system for fermentation to obtain PHB.
[0013] Furthermore, the synthesis-driven high-efficiency PHB synthesis method further includes the following steps: S4. After fermentation, Fe3O4 nanomaterials were recovered by magnetic separation technology, washed and dried, and reused. The bacterial cells were collected and PHB was extracted and purified by concentrated sulfuric acid digestion-ultra-high performance liquid chromatography. S5. Verify the effect of material concentration, adaptability to light conditions, and recycling performance to ensure the stability and practicality of the method.
[0014] Furthermore, in the H2, CO2, and air mixture, the volume ratio of H2, CO2, and air is (7-9):(1-3):(8-10).
[0015] Furthermore, in step S3, the concentration of Fe3O4 nanomaterials added to the fermentation system is 0.1-10 g / L.
[0016] Furthermore, in step S3, the fermentation conditions are: fermentation at 30℃, pH 7.0, and 200 rpm for 24-48 h.

This invention elucidates for the first time the molecular mechanism by which Fe3O4 nanomaterials enhance PHB synthesis in a "synthesis-driven" mode. Combined with transcriptomics and metabolite analysis, it confirms that the material specifically activates the Calvin cycle and the PHB synthesis pathway, simultaneously increasing the levels of core metabolites and achieving a significant increase in PHB yield, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods that can only regulate a single step.
[0018] The Fe3O4 nanomaterial of this invention has a particulate structure, is uniformly attached to the surface of bacteria, has excellent biocompatibility, and has no significant cytotoxicity. The material can be efficiently recycled and reused through magnetic separation technology, and still maintains a good strengthening effect after secondary use, thereby reducing production costs.
[0019] The synthesis method of this invention exhibits significant enhancement effects under light-inhibited conditions and excellent light adaptability; it requires no genetic modification, is simple to operate, highly reproducible, and suitable for long-term continuous fermentation production; at the same time, the regulatory logic of this method can be extended to the carbon fixation synthesis process of other chemoautotrophic microorganisms, providing a general technical framework for the resource utilization of CO2 to prepare high-value compounds, and has important academic and industrial value.
