A method for improving the yield of a
fermentation method for producing
shikimic acid pertains to the biochemical field. The invention comprises the steps that: 1) Seed culture: a
lactose fermentation bacillus brevis is inoculated in a seed culture medium of pH7.0 to pH7.4, the culture is carried out in a 120 to 180rpm shake
bed for 12 to 18 hours at 30 DEG C; the seed culture medium (g / L) includes: 25 to 35 parts of glucose, 15 to 25 parts of
ammonium sulfate, 1.0 to 2.0 parts of
potassium dihydrogen
phosphate, 0.1 to 1.0 part of
magnesium sulfate, 0.5 to 2.0 parts of
urea, 20 to 30 parts of corn pulp and the rest of water, the pH is regulated to pH 7.0 to pH 7.4, and the sterilization is carried out for 30 minutes at 115 DEG C. 2)
Fermentation culture: the seed is inoculated in a
fermentation culture medium at pH7.0 to pH7.4, the
inoculation amount is 5 percent, the culture is carried out in the 120 to 180rpm shake
bed for 48 to 60 hours at 30 DEG C; a
glyphosate inhibitor is added till the fermentation is going on for 16 to 30 hours; the fermentation culture medium (g / L) includes: 100 to 160 parts of glucose, 30 to 50 parts of
ammonium sulfate, 0.5 to 2.0 parts of
potassium dihydrogen
phosphate, 0.1 to 1.0 part of
magnesium sulfate, 20 to 30 parts of corn pulp, 30 to 50 parts of
calcium carbonate and the rest of water, the pH is regulated to pH7.0 to pH7.4, and the sterilization is carried out for 30 minutes at 115 DEG C. The yield of the
shikimic acid can achieve 1.667 to 2.887 times of the yield before the adding of the
glyphosate, and the production is stable and reliable.
