Description

The method and apparatus of control carbon source concentration in aerobic cultivation of microorganism
The present invention relates to a kind of method of in aerobic cultivation of microorganism, controlling carbon source concentration.Specifically, the present invention relates to a kind of in ventilation fed batch cultivation, ventilation cultured continuously or cell recirculation culture of continuous cultivation.The matrix carbon source of controlling between charge period in the culture tank at culture makes it keep low-level method.Its way is that the increase of monitoring pH in culture medium or dissolved oxygen content utilizes by computer-controlled reinforced control device, adds feed liquid with the feed rate that calculates to the culture tank discontinuous.The device that is suitable for implementing a kind of like this method also is provided.
In order to utilize the various materials of Production by Microorganism Fermentation, for example each seed amino acid or nucleic acid perhaps in order to produce microorganism cells, as yeast cell, carry out aerated culture to microorganism.Industrial, the aerated culture of microorganism carries out with fed batch cultivation method, continuous culture method or cell recirculation culture method, and adopts such as carbon sources such as carbohydrates as main raw material.
In a kind of like this cultural method, must in the reinforced process of culture, make the carbon source (matrix) in the culture tank keep alap level as the concentration of carbohydrate.So just can reach many purposes, for example: prevent thick carbon source suppress matrix, by effective utilization cultivate that raw material reduces the loss of thick carbon source, contained residue carbon source contaminate environment in the waste liquid that stays after being easy to from final fermented liquid separated product and preventing separated product.
Under the situation of cultured continuously and cell recirculation cultured continuously, though in the reinforced process of culture also continuous blow-down nutrient solution and therefrom separated product.Must be in sepn process the flow control of carbon source such as carbohydrate at possible minimum level, so that carbon source is zero to the influence of sepn process substantially.Also must prevent the loss of raw material.In this class cultural method, also wish to avoid analyzing the manual operations of carbon source concentration, its way is to adopt automatic monitoring means to control the stability of carbon source concentration.
About in the reinforced process of culture, the concentration of carbon source such as carbohydrate being maintained low-level problem, once the someone had described certain methods in the past, these methods comprise with following index controls carbon source concentration as individual index, for example: oxygen-consumption, carbon dioxide gas quantity discharged, pH, by product growing amount, the add-on (amount of carbon source multiply by predetermined scale-up factor to ammonia residual and calculates) of ammonia when adding carbon source such as carbohydrate.According to these methods, can not very accurately measure the microorganism active in the culturing process, cause active in some cases when ANOMALOUS VARIATIONS takes place concentration can not obtain satisfied control.Owing to these reasons, in culturing process, can not effectively be controlled at low-level (for example being lower than 3 grams per liters) to carbon source concentration.
In addition.Also have another kind of currently known methods to disclose the consumption that only detects culture tank internal carbon source concentration in the culturing process, but detecting reliability is poor with dissolved oxygen concentration.If ventilation or agitation condition (mixing speed, air flow quantity) change, then dissolved oxygen concentration alters a great deal.In this case, transmitter detects the consumption of carbon source sometimes mistakenly, thereby the carbon source concentration in the culture tank can not be effectively controlled.Owing to these reasons, this method is also impracticable.
Therefore, very clear, need a kind of method and apparatus of in aerobic cultivation of microorganism, controlling carbon source concentration automatically at present.The invention provides a kind of like this method and apparatus to address the above problem.
Under the situation of batch treatment, the liquid nutrient medium that will contain carbon source and nitrogenous source places fermentor tank to carry out batch culture.Another kind method is to carry out adding continuously or off and on when culture feeds in raw material the substratum that only contains carbon source.
Under processed continuously situation, when cultivating substratum is infeeded in the fermentor tank continuously, and emit the nutrient solution of equal volume continuously, so that maintenance such as cell quantity or production concentration is constant.
An object of the present invention is to provide a kind of device of in aerobic cultivation of microorganism, controlling the method for carbon source concentration and being used to implement this method.
One embodiment of the invention relate to a kind of method of microorganism being carried out aerated culture with fed batch cultivation method, continuous culture method or cell recirculation continuous culture method, this method comprises, adds the carbon source feed liquid in the culture tank discontinuous by computer controlled automatic.

The present invention partly relate to a kind of with fed-batch culture method, continuous culture method or cell again The method that the circulation continuous culture method is ventilated and cultivated microorganism, the advantage of the method is: Microorganism can be controlled at the suitable of carbon source feed liquid to the infiltration rate of carbon source such as carbohydrate in the reinforced process Work as charging rate; The consumption of carbon source can detect with good reliability and certainty; Carbon The detection that the source consumes can not ventilated or the impact of stirring condition. The method has also that other are excellent The point.
The present invention also provides the device of implementing said method.
Application artificially solves the problems referred to above of discussing in the background of invention part and has carried out extensively Research, found that, connect with fed-batch culture method, continuous culture method or cell recirculation Continuous cultivation is ventilated in the process of cultivating, if to the culture tank discontinuous add carbon source as Sugar, the carbon source feed liquid charging rate when then this time reinforced and follow-up each time is reinforced can be with pH's Increase or the increase of dissolved oxygen concentration is determined as index, this pH or dissolved oxygen concentration Increase is that the consumption by carbon source in the culture medium that fills in the culture tank causes. Along with first reinforced Finish from a rear charge period between the time interval different, according to pH in culture medium or dissolving The increase of oxygen is monitored and is controlled charging rate by a computer, has thereby solved earlier The difficult problem of technology.
Therefore, the present invention partly relates to a kind of microbial aerobic cultural method, wherein, and little Biological fed-batch ventilation is cultivated, is ventilated continuously and cultivate or continuously ventilation cultivation of cell recirculation In the process, be that feed liquid is added in the culture tank off and on when adding first the carbon source feed liquid, and with Predetermined charging rate and reinforced duration add feed liquid.
Stopping the material phase before certain charge period, the culture tank internal carbon source if COMPUTER DETECTION goes out (matrix) consumes and causes that pH increases or dissolved oxygen concentration increases, just begin for the second time reinforced or after Continuous reinforced, when reinforced, in culture tank, add feed liquid with the time of determining, charging rate is used tricks The calculation machine stops expecting that by this time of phase stops the charging rate meter of material feed liquid in the charge period before the phase with this Calculate, calculating principle is, if describedly stop expecting that the time of phase is long, then reduces charging rate, if The described time weak point that stops expecting the phase then strengthens charging rate.
The feature of the method is, in aerobic cultivation of microorganism, the matrix in the culture tank Concentration is controlled at constant low-level automatically.
For various materials of fermentative production or production cell itself, microorganism is carried out fed-batch aerated culture, continuous aerated culture or the continuous aerated culture of cell recirculation, (used here " continuously " speech is a generalized continuously in culture tank simultaneously, also comprise " off and on ") add the feed liquid that contains matrix carbon source (as carbohydrate), this is that people are known.Carry out fed-batch aerated culture of the present invention, continuously during the continuous aerated culture of aerated culture or cell recirculation, in feeding culture process described here, the charging process of feed liquid, also can make amendment to the known method of fed batch cultivation, cultured continuously or cell recirculation cultured continuously.
In general, if in main cultivation the before feeding culture, the concentration of substratum mesostroma carbon source (as carbohydrate) reaches a certain low-level, then begins the adding first of feed liquid in this feeding culture process at this moment.Predetermined feed liquid feed rate is determined by preliminary experiment in advance, generally equals main substrate consumption speed of cultivating when feeding culture begins (during reinforced first the beginning).The definite time length that feed liquid adds is a random time, and its range of choice should make the microbial consumption carbon source as the activity change of carbohydrate little (10 minutes to 24 hours scope in).
After reinforced first the finishing, if the matrix in the substratum is consumed, then the pH of substratum and dissolved oxygen concentration all will increase.When computer by pH transmitter and dissolved oxygen concentration sensor detecting during to this increases, computer just sends instruction to the device that the control feed liquid enters the culture tank flow velocity, thereby begins to add the second time feed liquid.
The increase of pH and the increase of dissolved oxygen concentration might not take place simultaneously.If between these two increases a time lag is arranged, then begin reinforced for the second time according to that increase that early detects.PH transmitter and dissolved oxygen concentration transmitter are damaged sometimes, therefore must often calibrate.So these two transmitters are not to use separately.Use two transmitters can improve the detecting reliability of substrate consumption greatly simultaneously.
Feed rate when for the second time adding feed liquid is the speed by calculating, and calculates principle to be, if it is long to stop the material phase, then reduces feed rate, lacks if stop the material phase, then strengthens feed rate.This just makes matrix feed rate and substrate consumption speed reach balance, thereby stops expecting the length of phase and reinforced first feed rate according between feeding in raw material the reinforced and second time first, the substrate concn of substratum in the culture tank is remained on desirable low-level.Computation process is undertaken by computer, but this computer program is easy to be designed by this area professional.An example of this program is shown in embodiment 1 described below.
The reinforced for the second time definite time length is according to determining with reinforced first similar principle of definite time.The for the second time reinforced time length might not be with reinforced identical first, only requires that this time selects in certain scope so that microbial consumption carbon source (matrix) is little as the activity change of carbohydrate.The selection of each reinforced time length should make the activity change of microbial consumption matrix in this time little, and can make that the substrate concn in the culture tank keeps low-level in the culturing process.
Each time adds the zero hour, the feed rate of feed liquid and determining of the time length of feeding in raw material after reaching for the third time, with reinforced similar for the second time.
Therefore, stopping the material phase of certain charge period, if COMPUTER DETECTION goes out owing to culture tank internal carbon source (matrix) consumption causes that pH increases or dissolved oxygen concentration increases, just begin for the second time reinforced and each time later on reinforced, reinforced time length and feed rate stop expecting that according to this time length of phase and preceding once reinforced feed rate calculate by computer, its calculating principle is, if it is long to stop the material phase, then reduce feed rate,, then strengthen feed rate if stop material phase weak point.
As mentioned above, might be when microorganism active be monitored in pointwise, feed rate and other reinforced conditions of regulation matrix carbon source (as carbohydrate) feed liquid.Also might be controlled at the substrate concn in the culture tank easily and be low to moderate below 5 grams per liters, further below 3 grams per liters.
The invention still further relates to the used device of aforesaid method, this device comprises: (ⅰ) culture tank, this culture tank is equipped with and is respectively applied for the pH that detects substratum in the culture tank and the transmitter of dissolved oxygen concentration, and for receiving ventilation and the whipping appts that feed liquid designs through current velocity controller; (ⅱ) computer of being furnished with two signal converters, wherein the mode of connection of (a) pH transmitter and dissolved oxygen concentration transmitter is, pH and dissolved oxygen concentration detection data that these two sensor detecting are gone out are imported computer respectively through same signal converter; (b) mode of connection of current velocity controller is, the feed liquid feed rate that computer calculates is gone out is imported current velocity controller through another signal converter.
Device of the present invention is the device with following function: detect the consumption of matrix carbon source such as carbohydrate; According to by the signal that is installed in pH transmitter (as pH electrode) on the culture tank and dissolved oxygen concentration transmitter (as dissolved oxygen electrode) input computer, by the feed rate of computer calculates carbon source feed liquid; The input of the feed rate that calculates is contained in the feed liquid current velocity controller on the carbon source filling tube of culture tank.
As known in the field, pH transmitter and dissolved oxygen sensor are often damaged easily, so should often calibrate.According to the present invention, each transmitter is not independent use, but is used in combination, thereby can improve the detecting reliability that carbon source such as carbohydrate consume greatly.When each transmitter uses separately, though reliability reduces but still produces effect.
Provide the following example and be in order to further specify the present invention, but should not think restrictive.

With cell recirculation continuous culture method fermentation production of L-glutamic acid
At volume is the 30ml water-containing medium of packing in the bottle that shakes of 500ml, then in 115 ℃ of heat sterilizations 10 minutes.Contain in this substratum: 30 grams per liter glucose, 1 grams per liter KH 2PO 4, 0.4 grams per liter MgSO 47H 2O, 4 grams per liter ureas, 20 mg/litre FeSO 47H 2O, 20 mg/litre MnSO 44H 2O, 5 milliliters/rise soybean protein acid hydrolysate, 300 micrograms per litre vitamin Hs.After being cooled to room temperature, cultivated 24 hours down in 30 ℃ then inoculating lactic acid fermentation tyrothricin AJ 1511 (ATCC 13869) on substratum.
At the volume through sterilization in advance is that pack into seed culture medium and 270 milliliters of moisture main mediums contain 80 grams per liter cane molasses (as sugar), 1 grams per liter KH in 1 liter the small-sized glass fermentor tank in the main medium 2PO 4With 10 milliliters/rise the soybean protein acid hydrolysate.Then this mixture is placed down in 30 ℃.Speed with 300 ml/min feeds the filtration sterilization air, and begins to stir, and keeping pH with ammonia simultaneously is 7.5 (beginning main the cultivation).
As shown in Figure 2, small-sized glass fermentor tank links to each other with 16 Personal Computers.By being inserted in pH and the dissolved oxygen concentration simulating signal that pH electrode in the fermentor tank and dissolved oxygen concentration electrode detection go out, the analog/digital converter input Personal Computer in being contained in this Personal Computer.By moisture fed-batch medium (feed liquid) feed rate that this Personal Computer is stipulated and calculated, import take away pump through the digital/analog converter that is contained in this Personal Computer as simulating signal.
When beginning main the cultivation, on Personal Computer, set following condition: feed liquid initial charge speed (reinforced for the first time): 30 milliliters/hour; Increase detected carbohydrate matrix consumption data by pH: 7.7; Increase detected carbohydrate matrix consumption data by dissolved oxygen concentration: 20% (common level of dissolved oxygen concentration is 1-10%); Feed liquid is fed in raw material the time: 3 hours.
For thereby bacteria growing inhibiting produces L-glutamic acid, the concentration with 0.2% (weight) after main cultivation begins 5 hours adds the polyoxyethylene sorbitan monopalmitate.Proceed main the cultivation after 5 hours, Personal Computer is placed (running status automatically) under the controlled condition, and begin to add first feed liquid with 30 milliliters/hour predetermined feed rate.Be added to feed liquid in the fermentor tank and contain 180 grams per liter cane molasses (as sugar), 5 milliliters/rise soybean protein acid hydrolysate, 0.2% (weight) polyoxyethylene sorbitan monopalmitate.
Meanwhile, make substratum pass through an equatorial in advance through the millipore filtration of sterilization, make substratum be divided into 20 milliliters and contain cell solution and filtrate two portions with the flow of feed liquid feed rate+20 (milliliter/hour).To contain cell solution and send fermentor tank back to.From cell-free filtrate, collect L-L-glutamic acid with crystallization process.
After beginning added feed liquid first, computer just began automatic operation, and arrived the predetermined moment that adds feed liquid time (3 hours), and condition according to the rules stops to add feed liquid immediately automatically.Shown in the part of the A among Fig. 4, to interrupt along with reinforced, the sugared density loss in the fermentor tank becomes 0 grams per liter substantially.PH and dissolved oxygen concentration almost increase simultaneously this moment.
Arrive moment of substrate consumption detected value earlier at pH or dissolved oxygen concentration, computer calculates immediately and regulation adds the feed rate of feed liquid for the second time.Calculated value is transfused to take away pump.Added feed liquid once more 3 hours with the speed that calculates.After this repeat this step, very exactly the sugared concentration in the fermentor tank is controlled at the 0-2 grams per liter.
The feed rate of feed liquid during each for the second time reinforced later time is reinforced, stop the speed (υ) that material fed in raw material before the phase for the last time according to the time length that stops expecting the phase (τ) and this and stipulate that its principle is as follows:
If τ≤10 minute *, the feed rate of then stipulating fresh feed liquid is 1.1 υ.Here υ represents the feed rate of last charge period before this.
If * 10 minutes<τ≤30 minute stipulate that then new feed rate is υ.
If * 30 minutes<τ≤1 hour stipulates that then new feed rate is 0.9 υ.
If * 1 hour<τ≤2 hour stipulate that then new feed rate is 0.8 υ.
Here, coefficient and the τ of υ become with culture condition sometimes, as cultivating type, matrix species, the character etc. of bacterium in one's power.The number of principle can suitably reduce or increase.As a reference, preliminary experiment is verified, does not satisfy the chance of τ>2 hour in the culturing process of present embodiment.In addition, the reinforced time that at every turn adds feed liquid in the present embodiment all is defined as 3 hours, but as mentioned above, as long as bacterial activity changes not quite in the reinforced time, just there is no need to keep the reinforced time constant.
After the cultured continuously 80 hours, obtain 132 gram L-L-glutamic acid.As shown in Figure 5, automatically after the operation beginning, sugared concentration can fully automatically be stablized and is controlled at 2 grams per liters.
Comparative example 1 (prior art)
The feature of prior art is: use NH 3Control pH, sugaring (feed liquid) amount and NH 3Consumption is proportional.
