I.I
la- A method of discontinuous production of L-carnitine by a microbiological process Description The invention relates to a novel method of producing Lcarnitine by a microbiological process.
L-carnitine is an essential substance for human metabolism, e.g. for breaking down fatty acids. Artifically produced Lcarnitine is therefore used in pharmaceutical preparations as an active principle against corresponding deficiency o diseases.
B t 0 It is known to produce L-carnitine from y-butyrobetaine.
a 0 S The y -butyrobetaine, in the presence of sodium-2- 0'015 oxoglutarate, a reducing agent, a source of iron ions and atmospheric oxygen as a hydroxyl-group donor, is brought into contact with a hydroxylase enzyme, released from spores of Neurospora crassa (US-PS 4 371 618). This process has the disadvantage of requiring a number of co-factors, which have to be externally supplied. In the reaction, for example, stoichiometric quantities of 2-oxoglutarate are oxidatively decarboxylated to succinate. Fe 2 is required as an 02 activator, ascorbate is needed to keep the iron ion in the reduced form, and catalase is needed to destroy the traces of harmful H202 which are produced.
Lindstedt et al, IBiochemistry 6, 1262-1270 (1967) "The Formation and Degradation of Carnitin in Pseudomonas"] isolated a microorganism of the genus Pseudomonas, which is grown by using y-butyrobetaine as a source of C and N. The first reaction in the breakdown process was the hydroxylation of y-butyrobetaine to L-carnitine, which was now 2 produced as an intermediate and then completely catabolised to C0 2
H
2 0 and NH 3 The hydroxylase involved, obtained from the bacteria, also has the aforementioned disadvantageous need for co-factors when used for production of L-carnitine [Lindstedt et al, Biochemistry 16, 2181-2188 (1977) "Purification and Properties of y -Butyrobetaine Hydroxylase from Pseudomonas sp. AK It is also known from US-PS 4 708 936 to produce L-carnitine by a continuous microbiological process. Disadvantages have been found, however, in that in this continuous process the stability of the strain has to be very high (more than 1000 h), and relatively low limits are set to the concentration of o 15 product in the medium. The product/educt ratio is also relatively low.
0o 00 An object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages of known methods and provide a method of enantioselective microbiological production of high yields of L-carnitine from crotonobetaine and/or y-butyrobetaine.
According to the present invention, there is provided a method of discontinuous production of L-carnitine by microbiological 25 processing of crotonobetaine and/or y -butyrobetaine, wherein the Y -butyrobetaine and/or crotonobetaine, together with betaine 4, as a source 6f C and N and an additional carbon source,are added to a culture medium containing a microorganism of the.
genus Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Agrobacterium, E.coli or a yeast of the genus Saccharomyces, and L-carnitine is separated after the maximum L-carnitine concentration has been obtained.
Advantageously, use is made of microorganisms of the genus Rhizobium, preferably the strain HK 1331b deposited on 8.2.1985 at the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen (DSM, 3 Gesellschaft fOr Biotechnologische Forschung mbH, r Griesebachstr. 8, D-3400 G6ttingen, No. DSM 3225, and the strain HK 13 deposited on 23.1.1984 at the same place, no.
DSM 2903.
Strains of microorganisms altered by genetic engineering are also suitable for the process.
In contrast to the systems known in the prior art, the microorganisms according to the invention use H20 instead of 02 as a hydroxyl group donor, as we have found from our own investigations using H2 1 8 0 and 1802.
0 o The selection and characterisation of these preferred microorganisms are described in EP-A 0 158 194, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The method according to the invention of producing Lcarnitine is preferably carried out as follows. Productive biomass is produced in a first or "batch" phase. To this end, one of the aforementioned strains is cultivated in the manner set out in EP-A 0 158 194, in a I lr sterilized mineral medium, preferably containing vitamins [Kulla et al, Arch. Microbiol. 135, 1 (1983)] at 20 to 400C, preferably at 30 0 C, advantageously at a pH between 6 to 8, preferably 7, and for 5 to 80 hours, preferably 15 to hours. The medium advantageously contains 0.01 to 10 wt.%, preferably 0.01 to 5 wt.% of choline, glutamate, acetate, I dimethylglycine or betaine as a growth substrate. It is particularly preferable to use betaine together with glutamate or another carbon source in proportions of 0.02 to 5 wt.% each.
The starting compounds to be converted, i.e. Tbutyrobetaine, crotonobetaine or mixtures thereof, are also
H
4 supplied in the batch phase in proportions of 0.01 to preferably 0.1 to 5 of the reaction medium.
The y-buty.robetaine or crotonobetaine can be present partly in the form of the hydrochloride salt or as a free internal salt.
The biomass cultivated in the batch phase can be used to inoculate other cultures. The other cultures advantageously have the same composition as the pre-cultures.
in the method according to the invention the biomass *t cultivated in the batch phase is the starting point for Lcarnitine production in the "fed-batch" phase.
The culture medium in the "fed-batch" phase is substantially the same as in the batch phase.
The "fed-batch" phase is characterised in that the educt crotonobetaine and/or y -butyrobetaine, betaine and an 20 additional carbon source are added in measured quantities to the culture solution.
The carbon sources can be compounds conventionally used by the experts and known in the literature e.g. for Rhizobium strains [The prokaryotes, Chapter 67, The genus Rhizobium, Springer Verlag 1981, page 825].
The carbon sources are advantageously sugars such as glucose or fructose, sugar alcohols such as glycerol, or organic acids such as acetic acid.
Preferably glucose or glycerol is used.
1 4 L1 L--iiii ii. i- 5 The molar ratio of carbon to nitrogen (C to N) is advantageously chosen between more than 5 mol C to 1 mol N and 10000 mol C to 1 mol N, preferably between 10 mol C to 1 mol N and 100 mol C to 1 mol N.
At very high carbon-nitrogen ratios, it may be necessary to add a nitrogen source in addition to betaine. The additional nitrogen source can be a known substance conventionally used by the experts, e.g. ammonium.
Additional nutrients such as a sulphur source, a phosphorus source, trace elements, vitamins or complex nutrients such as meat extracts, yeast extracts or swollen maize water, can a.o be added in measured amounts.
4 1 The educts Y-butyrobetaine or crotonobetaine are 15 advantageously added in amounts such that their concentration a 4 in the culture medium is advantageously between 0.005 and S preferably between 0.02 and 2%.
The carbon/nitrogen source is added at a rate depending on the amount of biomass in the bioreactor. One known method of determining the concentration of biomass is to measure the dry weight of the culture solution. Depending on the dry weight and the desired carbon/nitrogen ratio, the carbon Ssource and betaine are added to the fermenter at a rate of advantageously 0.01 to 100, preferably 0.1 to 10 mol carbon per kg dry weight in the fermenter per hour.
It is advantageous to operate at a temperature range of to 400C and a pH between 6 and 8.
After cultivation in the "fed-batch" phase, usually for to 250 hours, a concentation of L-carnitine of more than 6% can be obtained in the culture.
m 6 In an alternative modification of the process, part of the culture solution can be drawn off after fermentation and additional "fed-batch" cultivation can be started with the remaining part, once additional culture medium has been added.
This "repeated fed-batch" process can increase the volumetric productivity of fermentation.
The culture can be lightened by temporarily demineralizing and purifying the y-butyrobetaine and/or crotonobetaine, using ion exchangers or electrodialysis.
Production of L-carnitine from a culture solution is S known e.g. from EP-A 195 944 and can be carried out by freeing the solution from charged particles (cations and anions) after separating the biomass e.g. by centrifuging, 6 ultrafiltration or microfiltration in a laboratory electrodialysis plant. The end point of demineralization can be determined by measurements of conductivity. In the process the salts migrate into the flow of concentrate, whereas the L-carnitine remains as an internal salt ("betaine") in the flow of diluate. The resulting yields of L-carnitine in the diluate after, demineralization can be more than As an alternative to electrodialysis, L-carnitine can be demineralized by using a strongly acid cation exchanger in the H form [compare J. P. Vandecasteele, Appl. Environ. Microbiol.
39, 327 (1980)]. The solution is made to flow over an ion exchange column until the ion exchanger is exhausted and Lcarnitine breaks through. The anions go as free acids into the flow, whereas the cations remain on the ion exchanger.
After the ion exchanger has been washed to neutrality with water, the L-carnitine can be eluted with aqueous ammonia L -i .L 7 solution. The resulting yields of L-carnitine in the ammoniacal eluate can be more than The dilute L-carnitine solutions obtained by electrodialysis or by ion exchange can be concentrated by evaporation or reverse osmosis and then dewatered azeotropically.
The L-carnitine thus obtained can be converted into pure white L-carnitine by subsequent recrystallization advantageously from isobutanol/acetone, methanol, ethanol or n-butanol; or from a combination of solvents in which Lcarnitine is only slightly soluble, e.g. acetone, ethyl acetate, -y-butyl acetate, isobutyl methyl ketone or a acetonitrile, preferably isobutanol, and additional treatment with active carbon. This method can be used to I obtain L-carnitine with specific rotations of [*]25D -30.5 to -31.0, c 1 in HzO [the value in the literature is Strack et al, Hoppe-Seyler's Z.f. physiolog.Chem., 318 (1960), 129], the content being more than 99% (HPLC).
