The method has the advantages of low cost, simple operation and high product recovery rate, and solves the problems of complicated steps, high cost of adding chemical substances, difficult treatment of downstream sewage and the like of the traditional PHA extraction.
Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of downstream post-treatment of bioengineering, and particularly relates to a production and downstream extraction and purification process of Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA).
Background
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) is a degradable polyester that can be accumulated by various bacteria, and can be classified into short-chain/medium-long-chain PHAs, and also homopolymers and copolymers according to the monomer composition. PHA is an environment-friendly material, has wide application prospect, and can be used as an environment-friendly substitute for the traditional petroleum-based plastics. Among them, poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is the current PHA family memberThe research is most clear, but the application of the method is limited by high self-crystallinity, low elasticity, poor flexibility and the like. At present, the method of biological fermentation is frequently used in industry7,8To obtain PHA-enriched bacteria, then to carry out complex purification work3,4,6。
PHA production is performed by Eubacterium rolfsii (Ralstonia eutropha), genetically modified Escherichia coli (E.coli), halophilic bacteria, and the like. Although the thallus in the fermentation liquor is rich in PHA, the extraction, purification and impurity removal processes of PHA are complicated, and some PHA are expensive due to the use of organic solvents. The properties of PHAs are very much related to their purity. The purity requirements for different applications vary. Among them, the purity is required to be very high in the fields of medical treatment and the like. However, PHA is a bacterial inclusion, and the intracellular components are quite complex and difficult to extract and purify.
The existing extraction processes include organic solvent extraction, mechanical disruption, surfactant method, and various enzyme combination methods. But all have their limitations: the organic solvent extraction method has the disadvantages of difficult solvent recovery, high cost and dangerous operation environment, and is not suitable for large-scale production; the mechanical crushing method mainly comprises ultrasonic wall breaking or high-pressure homogenate wall breaking, and has the advantages of high energy consumption, great product loss and low purity; the surfactant method has disadvantages that the surfactant seriously damages the molecular weight of PHA, the wastewater containing the surfactant is difficult to treat, and the surfactant remains2-5。
CN1070534C discloses a method for separating and extracting PHA from bacterial thallus, which comprises the following steps: 1) treating the cells with an alkaline solution containing a surfactant; 2) solid-liquid separation, most non-PHA components are separated; 3) treating the PHA with an alkaline protease; 4) separating and extracting PHA particles; 5) drying to obtain PHA product. The method has mild reaction conditions, but has large alkali consumption and large addition of the surfactant, additionally increases the cost and the sewage treatment cost, and has obvious effect in the industrial amplification process.
CN1211489C discloses a method for separating and extracting PHA from bacterial thallus, which comprises using one or more of organic solvents of five and/or four carbon alcohol to destroy cell wall and extract PHA.
CN109575264A relates to a method for extracting PHA with an organic solvent valerolactone as a solvent.
CN109504715A discloses a method for preparing PHA, which comprises the step of adding anionic surfactant (SDS) to perform cell wall breaking and cracking of thalli.
All the existing methods relate to the use of organic solvents and/or surfactants, and have the problems of complicated extraction steps, high cost of adding chemical substances, difficult treatment of downstream sewage and the like.
Therefore, the development of a simple and effective downstream extraction and purification process of PHA is crucial to reduce the production cost of PHA.
