This study examined the effects of pH-controlled and fermentation strategies on 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO) production by an isolated Klebsiella sp. Zmd30 strain. The pH value of 6.0 was found to be optimal among the investigated range of 4.5-9.0. In batch fermentation, the concentration, productivity and yield of 2,3-BDO were 57.17 g/l, 1.59 g/l/h and 82%, respectively. The 2,3-BDO production by Klebsiella sp. Zmd30 was found to be growth-associated. Higher 2,3-BDO concentration (110 g/l) and yield (94%) was obtained by using fed-batch operation, but the productivity was lower (0.88 g/l/h) as compared to that when using batch operation. The highest 2,3-BDO productivity of 2.81 g/l/h was obtained with the continuous culture at a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 12h. The results suggest that fed-batch operation might be most suitable for commercialized 2,3-BDO production, due to obtaining a high concentration and yield.
本研究考察了 pH 控制和发酵策略对一株分离的克氏杆菌 Zmd30 菌株生产 2,3-丁二醇(2,3-BDO)的影响。在研究的 4.5-9.0 范围内,发现 pH 值 6.0 是最佳的。在分批发酵中,2,3-BDO 的浓度、生产率和产率分别为 57.17 g/l、1.59 g/l/h 和 82%。发现克氏杆菌 Zmd30 的 2,3-BDO 生产与生长相关。通过使用补料分批操作,获得了更高的 2,3-BDO 浓度(110 g/l)和产率(94%),但生产率(0.88 g/l/h)比分批操作低。在水力停留时间(HRT)为 12h 的连续培养中,获得了最高的 2,3-BDO 生产率 2.81 g/l/h。结果表明,由于获得了较高的浓度和产率,补料分批操作可能最适合商业化的 2,3-BDO 生产。
