Description

Method for separating lactose-N-neotetraose from microbial fermentation liquid
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of separation and purification, and particularly relates to a method for separating lactose-N-neotetraose from microbial fermentation broth.
Background
Lactose-N-neotetraose (Lacto-N-neotetraose, LNnT), a key human milk oligosaccharide (Human Milk Oligosaccharides, HMOs) component in breast milk, exhibits its versatile biological effects when used as a bioactive additive in infant formulas: enhancing host immune defense mechanism, reducing risk of pathogenic microorganism infection, promoting infant intestinal microflora maturation, improving intestinal health, and improving infant immunity. Microbial fermentation as a preferred strategy for the synthesis of LNnT presents several technical challenges, such as limitations in substrate conversion, the impact of complex metabolic pathways on target product synthesis, and problems with metabolic process intermediates and isomer content control.
Traditional LNnT production methods rely primarily on extraction and separation from breast milk, but such methods are limited by low yields and the complexity of the purification process. To overcome these limitations, the production strains are modified by gene editing technology to directly metabolize and synthesize LNnT during the growth process, thereby effectively improving the yield. However, although this approach solves the yield problem, the process of separating and purifying LNnT from the fermentation broth still faces the challenge of low purification efficiency.
The current methods for separating lactose-N-neotetraose from microbial fermentation broth are mainly divided into two types:
1. The lactose-N-neotetraose is filtered and separated by adopting a traditional membrane filtration method, but the method has very severe requirements on the effective filtration pore diameter of a filter membrane, and has poor filtration effect on small molecular substances, low yield, large loss and long time consumption;
2. The method for separating lactose-N-neotetraose by column chromatography is a common method used at present, and has high separation precision, good separation effect and continuous production; however, the existing column chromatography method for purifying lactose-N-neotetraose synthesized by microorganism metabolism still has the problem that the precursor lactose-N-trisaccharide and lactose-N-neotetraose isomer cannot be thoroughly removed.
For example: chinese patent application publication No. CN113966338 a provides a method for purifying lactose-N-neotetraose (LNnT) from fermentation broth, by nanofiltration followed by a Simulated Moving Bed (SMB), and then by crystallization to obtain high purity LNnT powder. The LNnT purity obtained after the SMB is about 80%, further crystallization is needed to improve the purity, the crystallization process consumes long time, the cooling precision in the crystallization process is strict, the process is complex, and the large-scale industrial production of the LNnT is not facilitated.
