Description

Method for improving tryptophan production level based on control of specific oxygen consumption rate
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of amino acid fermentation, and particularly relates to a method for improving the production level of tryptophan based on control of specific oxygen consumption rate.

L-tryptophan, also known as α -aminoindolylpropanoic acid, has the formula: c 11 H 12 N 2 O 2 The amino acid is a precursor of important neurotransmitter-5-hydroxytryptamine of human bodies, is one of essential amino acids of human bodies, has good nutritive value and medicinal value, and is widely used in industries of feed, medicine, health care and the like as a large amount of amino acid fermentation products.
The production of L-tryptophan is mainly realized by taking escherichia coli or corynebacterium glutamicum which is modified by genetic engineering technology as a production strain and adopting a microbial fermentation method. The microbial fermentation method has the advantages of low raw material price, simple process control, reliable product quality and the like. In recent years, how to produce tryptophan products with low cost and high efficiency is the key for promoting the continuous progress of the technology of main amino acid manufacturers in China, so in order to reduce the cost and increase the benefit, higher requirements are put forward on not only nutrient components of a culture medium but also the rationality of the control of the fermentation process.
The consumption capacity of the thalli to oxygen in the aerobic fermentation process can reflect the strength of respiratory metabolism. Especially for the high aerobic tryptophan fermentation process, the level of controlling the oxygen consumption rate has important influence on the generation of thalli, products and byproducts by substrates metabolized by escherichia coli, and finally influences the tryptophan product concentration and the conversion rate, so that the reasonable control of the oxygen consumption rate is the key for realizing high yield and high conversion rate. Although some documents report that the expression of tryptophan is improved in the fermentation process by controlling the dissolved oxygen or the oxygen uptake rate, the influence of the cell concentration on the oxygen consumption of unit bacteria in the fermentation process is not fully considered; there is no report of controlling the amount of oxygen substances consumed in unit dry weight and unit time in the fermentation process by continuous feeding to realize optimal control of the tryptophan fermentation process, and improving the tryptophan fermentation yield and conversion rate.

Fermentation culture: putting 20L of fermentation medium into a 50L fermentation tank, sterilizing and cooling the fermentation medium, transferring the secondary seed liquid into the fermentation tank for culture, wherein the inoculation amount is 10%, the culture condition is that the temperature is 37 ℃, the aeration ratio is 1.0VVM, the initial rotating speed is 200rpm, the dissolved oxygen in the fermentation process is controlled to be not less than 20% in the whole process by adjusting the air volume and the rotating speed, the tank pressure is 0.03-0.05MPa, the pH is controlled to be 6.9 by ammonia water, and the culture period is 38h.
And (3) a feeding control strategy: and the specific oxygen consumption rate is controlled without adopting composite nitrogen supplement, and when the glucose concentration in the fermentation liquor is lower than 1.0g/L after fermentation for 2-4h, a glucose solution with the concentration of 650g/L is supplemented, so that the glucose concentration in the fermentation liquor is maintained at 0.01-0.2g/L in the fermentation process. Ammonia water is fed according to pH self-control, and the pH is controlled to be not less than 6.9 and not more than 7.0.
During fermentation, CO in fermentation tail gas was measured by using a process mass spectrometer PASS2000 from Shunhui Yu Heng Ltd 2 、O 2 、N 2 And Ar gas components, capacitance value data measured on line by using an on-line living cell analyzer of Hamilton company is used, and the specific oxygen consumption rate of the fermentation process is continuously calculated on a 'well-known' fermentation process analysis software package developed by Shanghai fast spectrum intelligent company Limited.
After the fermentation process is finished, the related indexes of the fermentation liquor are measured and analyzed, and the result is that the fermentation titer is 43.5g/L and the conversion rate is 15.9%.
And (4) analyzing results: to investigate the effect of specific oxygen consumption rate on tryptophan fermentation, different specific oxygen consumption rates were controlled by examples 1-3 (example 1 at 3.5-4.0mmol/h/g, example 2 at 3.0-3.5mmol/h/g, example 3 at 2.5-3.0 mmol/h/g), respectively. Corresponding to the combination of examples 1 to 3 the fermentation titer and conversion rate are known as follows: there is an optimum control range for the specific oxygen consumption rate. As can be seen from the comparative analysis of tryptophan concentration and conversion rate of examples 1-3, the specific oxygen consumption rate of 2.5-3.0mmol/h/g is maintained in example 3, and the acid production rate and conversion rate are both low, which indicates that the supplemented glucose is mainly used for the growth of thalli, while the final electron acceptor of reducing power and energy generated by TCA cycle is oxygen, so that under the condition of low specific oxygen consumption rate, the intermediate metabolite and tryptophan synthesis precursor substances obviously generated by glucose metabolism are pumped away for the synthesis of thalli, but are not beneficial to the synthesis of tryptophan, and the byproducts of lactic acid, acetic acid and glutamic acid are not excessively accumulated too much (see FIG. 2); while the specific oxygen consumption rate of 3.5-4.0mmol/h/g is maintained in the example 1, and the corresponding fermentation titer and the conversion rate show that the TCA cycle speed is higher and the acid yield ratio is obviously improved under the condition of maintaining the high specific oxygen consumption rate, but the accumulation of the byproduct glutamic acid is obviously higher under the condition of the fast circulating speed rate of the TCA cycle, which indicates that the intermediate alpha-ketoglutaric acid in the TCA cycle is converted into the glutamic acid; while the results of example 2 maintaining the specific oxygen consumption rate of 3.0-3.5mmol/h/g are unexpected, the acid production and conversion rate are obviously better than those of example 1 and example 3, which shows that maintaining the proper specific oxygen consumption rate in the fermentation process has an important role in intracellular metabolic balance, namely, the thallus growth, tryptophan synthesis and TCA cycle balance have the optimal control ratio. In addition, glutamic acid in example 2 tended to be lower than that in example 1. In view of this, examples 4 and 5 were designed to control the specific oxygen consumption rate in stages, taking into account the different requirements of the different fermentation stages versus the oxygen rate on the basis of examples 1-3, in combination with the fermentation results of examples 1-3. Example 4 controls the specific oxygen consumption rate for two stages and example 5 controls the specific oxygen consumption rate for three stages. As is clear from the fermentation results, the tryptophan concentration and the conversion rate were higher than those in examples 1 to 3 by controlling the specific oxygen consumption rate in stages, and the conversion rate was improved without significant accumulation of glutamic acid as a by-product. The specific oxygen consumption rate of each example during fermentation is shown in figure 1. The results of the content of glutamic acid as a main by-product are shown in FIG. 2. Example 6 is an initial process control in which no control of the specific oxygen consumption rate by the composite nitrogen feed addition is used. It is evident that the specific oxygen consumption after 28h remains significantly lower than that of examples 1-5 only at a level of 1.5-1.8 mmol/h/g. The results show that the metabolic capacity of the thalli is poor in the later period, more glucose consumed by the thalli is consumed as energy, and the synthesis rate of the reverse tryptophan is low. Without significant accumulation of glutamic acid as a by-product.
The invention is not limited to 5 examples, and the improvement of the components or the improvement of the fermentation titer by the similar process strategies of the invention is within the protection scope of the invention.
