双碳源单细胞蛋白高密度培养

High Cell Density Cultivation of SCP with Double Carbon Sources

单细胞蛋白(SCP)培养具有增殖速度快、原料来源广、蛋白质含量高等优点,正在成为重要的蛋白质来源之一。生产SCP的原料包括烷烃、低碳醇类及碳水化合物。由碳水化合物,尤其是由各种农副产品加工的废料、造纸工业废水及木质纤维素水解产物等,生产SCP属于废弃资源的综合利用,具有重要的经济和社会意义。这类原料中常含有多种碳源,例如,在木质纤维水解液中,有以木糖为主的五碳糖,也有以葡萄糖为主的六碳糖,木糖与葡萄糖之比约为1:2。这样,木糖的利用就成了一个关键问题。葡萄糖对木糖代谢的抑制作用随葡萄糖比例的降低而减轻;Slinger和Bothast研究了用混合糖培养Candida shehetane的过程,当木糖与葡萄糖的比例为3:1及1:1时,葡萄糖的利用速度分别比木糖高1.6倍及3.4倍;在低还原势时,酵母产酒精速率降低而细胞增长速率加快,可以达到较高细胞浓度。

The batch and fed-batch processes of single cell protein (SCP) cultivation were studied with double carbon sources (glucose+xylose). The effects of various operation conditions, such as temperature, ratio of carbon and nitrogen, initial total reduced sugars and aeration mode, on batch SCP cultivation were'examined. Based on the results of batch process, a fed-batch process was proposed. The maximum dried cell density in the broth can reach as high as 48. 0g/L.
