Abstract
Description
A chemical catalyst-microbial carbon fixation system for improving H2 utilization efficiency and its application
[0001] This application claims priority to a Chinese patent application filed with the Patent Office of China on January 24, 2024, with application number 202410099504.7 and invention name “A chemical catalyst-microbial carbon fixation system for improving H2 utilization efficiency and its application”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field
[0002] The present application relates to a chemical catalyst-microbial carbon fixation system for improving H2 utilization efficiency and its application, belonging to the field of biochemical engineering. Background Art
[0003] Biological carbon sequestration is a crucial functional foundation for maintaining biosphere stability and development. Against the backdrop of the current environmental crisis and increasing energy shortages, its technological and engineering significance is increasingly attracting attention and recognition. Using carbon-fixing microorganisms as a platform, the catalytic fixation of CO2 into various energy sources and chemicals, combined with green synthesis, effectively combines carbon sequestration and emission reduction, with significant implications for alleviating resource crises, mitigating environmental pollution, and promoting sustainable social development.
[0004] Acetogens are obligate anaerobic chemoautotrophic microorganisms that synthesize acetyl-CoA and its derivatives, such as acetate and ethanol, through the linear Wood-Ljungdahl pathway (also known as the reductive acetyl-CoA pathway), achieving terminal electron acceptance and energy conservation, enabling autotrophic growth. Unlike CO2 fixation through cyclic reactions like the Calvin cycle, the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway is less dependent on or susceptible to interference from central metabolism, offering unique advantages for achieving the high throughput required for industrial applications.
[0005] All naturally occurring acetogenic bacteria are CO2-fixing, anaerobic, autotrophic, and non-methanotrophic. Since CO2 can only serve as a carbon source, its fixation requires additional energy. Acetogenic bacteria use the energy released by the oxidation of H2 or CO to generate reducing power for CO2 fixation and ATP synthesis.
[0006] Acetogenic bacteria, using CO as an energy source, fix CO₂ to produce ethanol, a process already commercially viable (Nat Biotech 2022, 40:335). However, when using CO as an energy source to produce ethanol, two-thirds of the carbon is excreted as CO₂, resulting in poor carbon economy. Therefore, adding H₂ provides energy to refix the CO₂ produced by CO oxidation, promoting carbon recovery.
[0007] Acetogenic bacteria use H2 as an energy donor, and fixing CO2 is a future development trend. However, there are currently great shortcomings, mainly manifested in low gas utilization and energy conversion efficiency, long carbon fixation and circulation cycles, low product output and yield, and only producing acetic acid but not ethanol, resulting in low product added value. These have greatly limited the efficient bioconversion and utilization of CO2.
[0008] 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, reduced ferredoxin and NAD(P)H coenzymes are produced for the conversion and utilization of CO2. Due to the extremely low solubility of H2 in the liquid phase, it is difficult for hydrogenase in the cell to capture H2, affecting the continuous and efficient supply of coenzymes and limiting the efficiency of CO2 biofixation.
[0009] Through artificial design and modification, artificial functional material elements are integrated into biological metabolic activities, supplementing or even replacing some biological elements, constructing microorganism-artificial material chimeras, and realizing the functional chimera of "biology-material". It is expected to play a role in major areas such as efficient conversion and utilization of energy and artificial carbon fixation.
[0010] For example, a report has constructed a chimeric system of the non-photoautotrophic microorganism Moore's bacterium thermoacetica and the semiconductor material cadmium sulfide. In this chimeric system, cadmium sulfide nanoparticles on the cell surface capture solar energy to generate extracellular electrons, which the microbial cells use to generate reducing power outside or inside the cell, fixing CO2 through the Wood-Jungdahl pathway, and ultimately achieving light-driven acetic acid synthesis (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2016, 113(42):11750-11755).
[0011] Another example is the use of polyphenols to interact with the cell wall to assemble indium phosphide particles onto the surface of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, creating a chimera of the yeast and the semiconductor material indium phosphide. The yeast cells use the surface nanoparticles to capture photogenerated electrons and use them to regenerate the redox cofactor NADPH, promoting the efficient synthesis of the metabolite shikimic acid (Science 2018, 362, 813-816).
[0012] For example, East China Normal University reported an in vivo non-metallic inorganic semiconductor-microorganism hybrid system. The semiconductor material C3N4·QDs has good biocompatibility and suitable size. It enters the Escherichia coli cell through bacterial endocytosis to form an in vivo inorganic semiconductor-microorganism hybrid system. In the Escherichia coli cell, the unique π-π electron conjugation forms the C3N4·QDs / NAD + The photocatalysis is directly carried out in the bacteria to achieve efficient hydrogen production.
[0013] Hydrogenase-like catalysts are heterogeneous catalysts designed to mimic the function of hydrogenases and capable of hydrogen activation. They consist of a support and an active center. The support is typically composed of carbon nanotubes, silica, graphene, graphene oxide, carbon dots, or ferrosoferric oxide. The active center is typically a metal nanoparticle such as iron, cobalt, nickel, palladium, or platinum. The support enhances the stability of the hydrogenase-like catalyst, accelerates electron transfer, and serves to immobilize the metal active center. Hydrogenase-like catalysts can achieve efficient hydrogen activation at room temperature and pressure.
[0014] The hydrogenase-like catalyst is applied to the gas fermentation system of acetic acid-producing bacteria. It efficiently activates hydrogen extracellularly. The extracellular electrons generated can be transferred to the cell by electron carriers or acceptors such as riboflavin, metal ions, and respiratory enzymes to generate reducing power, which is expected to achieve efficient utilization of H2 and efficient fixation of CO2.
[0015] No research or application of a hybrid system of a hydrogenase-like catalyst and acetogenic bacteria has been found in the patents and literature disclosed in the prior art.

[0148] 1) The activated Clostridium jungdalariensis DSM 13528 bacterial solution was transferred to 50 mL of PETC gas culture medium (CO2 + H2, ratio of 1:3, pressure of 0.1-0.2 MPa) at a 10% inoculum volume and cultured to OD 600nm The value was about 0.2, and then the strain was subcultured in PETC gas culture medium (CO2+H2, ratio of 1:3, pressure of 0.1-0.2MPa) for more than 2 generations to allow the strain to completely adapt to growth with CO2 as the carbon source.
[0149] 2) Using a 5-L fermentor as a seed tank, transfer the acclimated bacterial liquid to a 4-L PETC medium (gas supply: CO₂ + H₂, ratio: 1:3, pressure: 0.1 MPa) at a 10% inoculum volume. After incubation at 37°C for 48 h, use the culture medium as a seed for larger-scale fermentation.
[0150] 3) Select a 50L fermenter, add 40L of PETC gas culture medium and 4g of Co@NCNT catalyst. Inoculate the seed solution into the 50L fermenter (gas supply: CO2 + H2, ratio 1:3), ferment at 37°C, maintain pH around 5.6, and control pressure at around 0.1 MPa. Ferment for 192 hours, supplementing nitrogen, sulfur, and Fe as needed. 2+ , samples were taken every 12 h to monitor changes in biomass and product yield.
[0151] The results are shown in Figure 11. Compared with Comparative Example 4, the cell biomass and acetic acid concentrations of the 50 L scale CO2 + H2 fermentation of the Co@NCNT-Clostridium jundal hybrid system 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.
[0152] Example 11 Optimization experiment of Co@NCNT-Clostridium jundal 50 L scale gas fermentation
[0153] Based on the CO2+H2 reaction equations for the synthesis of acetic acid and ethanol, two CO2 molecules and four H2 molecules produce one acetic acid molecule, with a CO2:H2 ratio of 1:2; two CO2 molecules and six H2 molecules produce one ethanol molecule, with a CO2:H2 ratio of 1:3. Furthermore, given that H2 is much lower than CO2, limiting mass transfer, the H2 ratio was further increased to 80% during the fermentation process. Furthermore, to ensure that the intracellular metabolism of Clostridium jundalus rapidly responds to the extracellular electrons provided by the catalyst-activated H2, a catalyst was added during the culture stage. Furthermore, to achieve higher cell densities, catalyst was added to the 50L fermenter.
[0154] The operation in this embodiment is as follows:
[0155] 1) The activated Clostridium jungdalariensis DSM 13528 bacterial solution was transferred to 50 mL of PETC gas culture medium (CO2 + H2, ratio of 1:3, pressure of 0.1-0.2 MPa) at a 10% inoculum volume and cultured to OD 600nm The value was about 0.2, and then the strain was subcultured in PETC gas culture medium (CO2+H2, ratio of 1:3, pressure of 0.1-0.2MPa) for more than 2 generations to allow the strain to completely adapt to growth with CO2 as the carbon source.
[0156] 2) Using a 5-L fermenter as a seed tank, 4 L of PETC medium and 0.4 g of Co@NCNT catalyst were added (gas supply: CO2 + H2, ratio: 1:3, pressure: 0.1 MPa). The acclimated bacterial liquid was transferred to a 5-L fermenter at a 10% inoculum size and cultured at 37°C for 48 h. The culture was then used as a seed solution for larger-scale fermentation.
[0157] 3) Select a 50L fermenter, add 40L of PETC gas culture medium and 4g of Co@NCNT catalyst. Inoculate the seed solution into the 50L fermenter (gas supply is CO2+H2, ratio is 1:4), fermentation temperature is 37°C, fermentation pH is maintained at around 5.6, pressure is controlled at around 0.1Mpa, and nitrogen, sulfur and Fe are supplemented as needed during the fermentation process. 2+ , take samples every 12 hours to monitor the changes in biomass and product yield. 600nmWhen the pH reached about 2, 4 g of Co@NCNT catalyst was added and the fermentation was continued for 216 h.
[0158] The results are shown in Figure 12. Compared with Comparative Example 4, the optimized Co@NCNT-Clostridium jundal hybrid system fermented CO2+H2 on a 50 L scale, and the cell biomass increased by 100%, the acetic acid concentration increased by 60% to 36 g / L, and the ethanol concentration reached 45 g / L, a 20-fold increase.

[0161] Example 12 Co@NCNT-Carbon monoxide-eating Clostridium 50ml scale gas fermentation experiment
[0162] 1) The activated Clostridium monoxide-eating bacteria P7 DSM15243T was transferred to 50 mL of PETC gas culture medium (20% to 90% CO, the rest being CO2 and H2 synthesis gas, pressure 0.15 to 0.2 MPa) at a 10% inoculum volume and cultured to an OD of 600nm The acclimated strain was then subcultured in PETC gas medium for at least two generations to fully adapt to growth on syngas as a carbon source. The acclimated bacterial broth was then transferred to 50 mL of PETC gas medium (syngas consisting of 40% CO, 40% H₂, 10% CO₂, and N₂ as the primary gas source) containing the Co@NCNT catalyst at a 10% inoculum rate and cultured in shake flasks at 37°C.
[0163] 2) Take 5 mg of Co@NCNT catalyst, resuspend it in 500 μl of PETC medium, and add it to an anaerobic bottle containing 50 ml of PETC medium. Then, the anaerobic bottle is filled with synthesis gas (40% CO, 40% H2, 10% CO2 and N2, with a pressure of 0.2 MPa).
[0164] 3) The acclimated bacterial liquid was inoculated into the PETC gas culture medium containing the Co@NCNT catalyst at a rate of 10%, and the culture was cultured and fermented at a constant temperature of 37° C. Sampling was performed every 24 hours to monitor biomass and product.
[0165] The results are shown in Figure 13. Compared with Comparative Example 5, the Co@NCNT-Carbon monoxide-eating Clostridium hybrid system fermented CO+CO2+H2, and the biomass and acetic acid concentrations increased by 20%, the butyric acid and hexanoic acid concentrations increased by nearly one-fold, the ethanol and butanol concentrations increased by about 70%, and the hexanol concentration increased by 2 times.
