一株海洋红法夫酵母Phaffia rhodozyma RP-306产虾青素的发酵条件优化

为提高海洋红法夫酵母Phaffia rhodozyma RP-306的虾青素产量,本研究利用单因素和响应面实验对其发酵条件进行了优化。首先用单因素实验确定了蔗糖、酵母粉、硫酸铵、pH、温度和装液量6个因素的初始值,再利用Plackett-Burman实验筛选出了影响较大的3个因素:蔗糖、pH、温度,并采用最陡爬坡实验确定了因素的合理范围,最后采用响应面法中的中心组合设计进行优化,其优化发酵条件为:蔗糖29.93 g/L,酵母粉2.0 g/L,硫酸铵5.0 g/L,pH 5.27,温度19.9℃。在此条件下虾青素产量从13.46 mg/L提高到17.04 mg/L,比优化前提高了26.61%。以优化后发酵条件进行分批发酵,虾青素产量达到28.86 mg/L,为进一步发酵放大研究奠定了良好基础。

Enhanced a novel β-agarase production in recombinant Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) through induction mode optimization and glycerol feeding strategy

Agarases are hydrolytic enzymes that act on the hydrolysis of agar and have a broad range of applications in food,cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. In this study, a glycerol feeding strategy based on induction mode optimization for high cell density and β-agarase production was established, which could effectively control acetate yield. First, exponential feeding strategy of glycerol with different overall specific growth rates（μ） was applied in the pre-induction phase. The results showed that the low μ（μ=0.2） was suggested to be the optimal for cell growth and β-agarase production. Second, the effects of induction temperature and the inducer concentration on cell growth and β-agarase production were investigated in the post-induction phase. When induced by isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactoside（IPTG）, the strategy of 0.8 mmol/L IPTG induction at 20℃ was found to be optimal for β-agarase production. When cultivation was induced by continuous lactose feeding strategy of 1.0 g/（L·h）, the β-agarase activity reached 112.5 U/mL, which represented the highest β-agarase production to date.Furthermore, the β-agarase was capable of degrading G. lemaneiformis powder directly to produce neoagarooligosaccharide, and the hydrolysates were neoagarotetraose（NA4） and neoagarohexaose（NA6）. The overall research may be useful for the industrial production and application of β-agarase.
