A potential industrial substrate (liquefied corn starch; LCS) has been employed for successful acetone butanol ethanol (ABE) production. Fermentation of LCS (60 g l(-1)) in a batch process resulted in the production of 18.4 g l(-1) ABE, comparable to glucose: yeast extract based medium (control experiment, 18.6 g l(-1) ABE). A batch fermentation of LCS integrated with product recovery resulted in 92% utilization of sugars present in the feed. When ABE was recovered by gas stripping (to relieve inhibition) from the fed-batch reactor fed with saccharified liquefied cornstarch (SLCS), 81.3 g l(-1) ABE was produced compared to 18.6 g l(-1) (control). In this integrated system, 225.8 g l(-1) SLCS sugar (487 % of control) was consumed. In the absence of product removal, it is not possible for C. beijerinckii BA101 to utilize more than 46 g l(-1) glucose. A combination of fermentation of this novel substrate (LCS) to butanol together with product recovery by gas stripping may economically benefit this fermentation.
一种潜在的工业底物(液化玉米淀粉;LCS)已被用于成功生产丙酮丁醇乙醇(ABE)。以分批发酵工艺发酵60 g l⁻¹ 的LCS,产生了18.4 g l⁻¹ 的ABE,与基于葡萄糖:酵母提取物的培养基(对照实验,18.6 g l⁻¹ 的ABE)相当。将LCS的分批发酵与产物回收相结合,可使进料中存在的糖利用率达到92%。当通过气提从进料分批反应器中回收ABE(以减轻抑制作用)时,进料为糖化液化玉米淀粉(SLCS),产生了81.3 g l⁻¹ 的ABE,而对照为18.6 g l⁻¹。在这个集成系统中,消耗了225.8 g l⁻¹ 的SLCS糖(对照的487%)。在没有产物去除的情况下,拜氏梭菌BA101无法利用超过46 g l⁻¹ 的葡萄糖。将这种新型底物(LCS)发酵生产丁醇与通过气提回收产物相结合,可能会给这种发酵带来经济效益。
