2,3-Butanediol (BD) is considered as one of the key platform chemicals used in a variety of industrial applications. It is crucial to find an efficient sugar-utilizing strain and feasible carbon source for the economical production of BD.
METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Efficient BD production by a newly isolated Enterobacter cloacae subsp. dissolvens SDM was studied using crop-biomass cassava powder as substrate. The culture conditions and fermentation medium for BD production were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, 78.3 g l(-1) of BD was produced after 24 h in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF), with a yield of 0.42 g BD g(-1) cassava powder and a specific productivity of 3.3 g l(-1) h(-1). A higher BD concentration (93.9 g l(-1)) was produced after 47 h in fed-batch SSF.
CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: The results suggest that strain SDM is a good candidate for the BD production, and cassava powder could be used as an alternative substrate for the efficient production of BD.
2,3-丁二醇(BD)被认为是在各种工业应用中使用的关键平台化学品之一。找到一种高效的糖利用菌株和可行的碳源,对于经济生产 BD 至关重要。
方法/主要发现:使用作物生物质木薯粉作为底物,研究了新分离的阴沟肠杆菌亚种 dissolvens SDM 对 BD 的高效生产。优化了 BD 生产的培养条件和发酵培养基。在最佳条件下,在同步糖化发酵(SSF)24 小时后,可生产 78.3 g/L 的 BD,木薯粉的产率为 0.42 g BD/g,比生产率为 3.3 g/L/h。在补料分批 SSF 中,47 小时后可生产出更高浓度的 BD(93.9 g/L)。
结论/意义:结果表明,SDM 菌株是生产 BD 的良好候选菌株,木薯粉可用作高效生产 BD 的替代底物。
