Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce butanol in high concentration eliminating auxiliary facility for achieving anaerobic condition, by proliferating yeast to convert the space in a fermentation tank into anaerobic state and carrying out butanol fermentation in the tank. CONSTITUTION:In the production of butanol by fermentation, a yeast is inoculated in a fermentation tank and proliferated prior to the inoculation of butanol- producing strain. The space in the fermentation tank becomes anaerobic state and the temperature increases by the proliferation of yeast. The yeast is subjected to autodigestion for a prescribed period under the above conditions and the fermentation tank is inoculated with a butanol-producing strain to perform butanol fermentation.

In butanol fermentation, it is difficult to maintain a high butanol concentration, and this is thought to be due to butanol's inhibition of butanol-producing bacteria. In addition, butanol-producing bacteria are obligate anaerobic bacteria, so they require strict anaerobic conditions in the tank (oxidation-reduction potential ORP of -200 mV or less, etc.), but in conventional fermenters, no special measures have been taken. However, if it is carried out, an additional device for blowing in N2 gas or the like is required. Furthermore, in practical terms, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (乃) are simply added to carbohydrates and waste sugar honey as auxiliary sources, and from an economical point of view,
No trace components were added, and the medium composition was generally poorer than that of laboratory rail, which contributed to the weakening of the butanol-producing bacteria's resistance to butanol inhibition.

In the present invention, anaerobic conditions in one fermenter are achieved by inoculating and culturing yeast (Saccharomyces cervicae) prior to inoculating butanol-producing bacteria, and its growth causes oxygen in the medium to
At the same time, the fermentation heat generated at that time is eliminated by the elimination of o2) and the reduction of the redox potential. The temperature inside the fermenter is raised to the optimum temperature (37°C) for butanol-producing bacteria. At this point the yeast cannot grow at that high temperature and dies, while the dead yeast is gradually decomposed and the trace components it contains (equivalent to yeast extract at laboratory level) are removed as a result. is a form in which a large amount of a trace ingredient (yeast extract) is added to the butanol-producing bacteria, contributing to increasing the activity of the butanol-producing bacteria and improving butanol tolerance.

Yeast is anaerobic. However, since the temperature inside the fermenter is not adjusted, the temperature inside the fermenter rises due to the fermentation heat of the yeast (the optimum temperature for yeast is 30'C).

At this time, they develop strong resistance to butanol inhibition due to the added effect of trace components and high anaerobic degree. Butanol fermentation proceeds and a high butanol production concentration is obtained.
