Data: | 2007 | Citação: | Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology. 75:5 (2007) 1039-1045 | Resumo: | Abstract A production process, using upshock fermentation and osmotic downshock, for the effective production/excretion of mannosylglycerate (MG) by the trehalose-deficient mutant of the strain Thermus thermophilus RQ-1 has been developed. In the first phase of fed-batch fermentation, the knockout mutant was grown at 70°C on a NaCl-free medium. After the culture reached the end of the exponential growth phase, upshift in temperature and NaCl concentration was applied. The temperature was increased to 77°C, and NaCl was added up to 3.0% and kept constant during the second phase of fermentation. Although this shift in cultivation parameters caused a dramatic drop of cell density, a significant improvement in accumulation of MG up to 0.64 µmol/mg protein compared to batch fermentations (0.31 µmol/mg protein) was achieved. A total yield of 4.6 g MG/l of fermentation broth was obtained in the dialysis bioreactor with a productivity of 0.29 g MG l-1 h-1. The solute was released from the harvested biomass by osmotic downshock using demineralized water at 70°C. More than 90% of the intracellularly accumulated solute was recovered from the water fraction. The process was very efficient, as hyperosmotic shock, release of the solute, and reiterative fed-batch fermentation could be repeated at least four times. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/7832 | DOI: | 10.1007/s00253-007-0915-y | Direitos: | openAccess |
