In this study, a method for the efficient production of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) from phytosterols in a vegetable oil/aqueous two-phase system by Mycobacterium sp. was developed. After the 3-hydroxyl group of phytosterols was protected, they could be converted into DHEA with high yield and productivity by Mycobacterium sp. NRRL B-3683. In a shake flask biotransformation, 15.05 g l of DHEA and a DHEA yield of 85.39% (mol mol) were attained after 7 days with an initial substrate concentration of 25 g l. When biotransformation was carried out in a 30-l stirred bioreactor with 25 g l substrate, the DHEA concentration and yield was 16.33 g l and 92.65% (mol mol) after 7 days, respectively. The results of this study suggest that inexpensive phytosterols could be utilized for the efficient production of DHEA.
本研究开发了一种利用分枝杆菌属(Mycobacterium sp.)从植物油/双水相体系中的植物甾醇高效生产脱氢表雄酮(DHEA)的方法。在保护植物甾醇的 3-羟基后,分枝杆菌属(Mycobacterium sp.)NRRL B-3683 可以将其转化为具有高收率和生产力的 DHEA。在摇瓶生物转化中,当初始底物浓度为 25 g/L 时,经过 7 天的反应,可获得 15.05 g/L 的 DHEA 和 85.39%(摩尔摩尔)的 DHEA 产率。当在 30 L 搅拌式生物反应器中进行生物转化时,在 7 天的反应后,DHEA 的浓度和产率分别为 16.33 g/L 和 92.65%(摩尔摩尔)。本研究结果表明,廉价的植物甾醇可用于高效生产 DHEA。
