Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for producing hexanoic acid using a megasphaera hexanoica strain. The method of producing hexanoic acid according to the present invention can dramatically improve the productivity of hexanoic acid.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing hexanoic acid using Megaspera hexanoic acid,

The present invention relates to a method for producing hexanoic acid using megasperahexanoic acid.

Currently, 86% of world energy demand depends on fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas. The use of a wide range of fossil fuels can cause severe energy and resource shortages due to environmental climate change and depletion of fossil resources, and efforts to produce fuels from renewable resources are increasing to address them.

Bio energy, solar power, wind power, intelligence, and tidal power generation are emerging as alternative energy sources currently available. Among them, bio-energy is highly utilized as transportation fuel, and the emission of environmental pollutants is less than 30% Due to its ability to reduce up to 90%, it has attracted worldwide attention. Bio-energy is a sustainable source of energy made from biomass in the natural world. It is produced from plants, agriculture and environmental waste such as corn, sugarcane, and waste cellulose, There is an effect of reducing waste by using various organic wastes without increasing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). It also does not contain heavy metals and other harmful substances. In the case of liquid biofuels, it can be mixed with existing automotive liquid fuels. As a biofuel derived from such renewable vegetable raw materials, a lot of research has already been carried out as a fuel for transporting ethanol, which is a C2 material, and butanol, a C4 material, but aviation fuels require a material having a higher carbon number It is necessary to develop new biofuels.

On the other hand, hexanoic acid is a linear fatty acid having 6 carbons which is used to make perfumes, drugs, lubricating greases, rubbers, dyes, etc., and can be converted into hexanol through a simple catalytic reaction. Hexanol can be used as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel through esterification, and it is necessary to develop a technology to produce hexanoic acid as a precursor of biofuels.

The production of hexanoic acid by microbial fermentation is one of the most advanced microorganisms for the production of hexanoic acid using the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium kluyveri (1942). The strain can produce H2, butyric acid, hexanoic acid using ethanol, acetate or succinate. As the acetic acid is overproduced, hexanoic acid is mainly produced. In these relationships, it has been found that butyric acid is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of hexanoic acid.

In order to increase hexanoic acid production, rodick et al. Reported that the yield of hexanoic acid production was increased to 6 g / m 2 by oil culture of immobilized megasphaera elsdenii in an incubator containing amberlite IRA-400, L to 19 g / L, which is 30%. In Korean Patent No. 10-1316732, a method of increasing the production amount of hexanoic acid by using Megaspera Elsevier Dennis NCIMB 702410 and extracting fermentation has been disclosed However, since the production amount is not sufficient, it is not enough to apply to the production process of biofuel.

Conventionally, a method of producing hexanoic acid which is a precursor of hexanol, which is a biofuel, has been disclosed. However, since the production amount thereof is not sufficient, in the present invention, productivity of megasperahexanoic acid strain And to provide a method for producing greatly improved hexanoic acid.

The method for producing hexanoic acid according to the present invention comprises the steps of: inoculating and culturing a culture solution of Megasphaera hexanoica strain (KFCC11466P); And recovering the hexanoic acid from the culture.

At this time, it is preferable that the culture medium further contains acetate and butyrate as a basic medium. As can be seen from the results of the following examples, acetate and butyrate have an important influence on promotion of cell growth and production of hexanoic acid, and in particular, acetate has been found to be the most influential factor for production of hexanoic acid. Therefore, as can be seen from the results of the following examples, it is preferable that the concentration of the acetate is 7 to 9 g / L and the concentration of the butyrate is 13 to 15 g / L in order to greatly increase the production amount of hexanoic acid desirable.

In addition, the above culture medium contains, as a basic medium component, fructose, yeast extract, tryptophan, peptone, beef extract, K 2 HPO 4 , Tween 80, cysteine-HCl x H 2 O, resazurin, Or mixtures thereof. For example, a PYG medium having the composition shown in Table 1 below may be used as a basic medium.

Constituent content Fructose 18.00 g Yeast extract 5.00 g Tryptone 5.00 g Peptone 10.00 g Beef extract 5.00 g K 2 HPO 4 2.00 g Tween 80 1.00 ml Cysteine-HCl x H 2 O 0.50 g Resozurin (resazurin) 1.00 mg Salt solution 40.00 ml Distilled water 950.00 ml

Further, as can be seen from the results of the following examples, it is preferable that the culture medium further contains 6 to 18 g / L of yeast extract in the basic medium for increasing the production amount of hexanoic acid.

Further, as can be seen from the results of the following examples, in order to increase the production amount of hexanoic acid, the culture medium contained 5.5 to 10.5 g / L of yeast extract and 2.3 to 10.5 g / L of peptone in the basic medium It is more preferable that the concentration of the yeast extract is 8.5 to 9.5 g / L and the concentration of the peptone is 8.5 to 9.5 g / L.

The culture medium may also contain fructose, K 2 HPO 4 , cysteine-HCl x H 2 O, resazurin, salt solution, distilled water, vitamin K1 solution or a mixture thereof as a basic medium component . For example, mPYF medium having the composition shown in the following Table 2 can be used as a basic medium.

Constituent content Fructose 5.00 g K 2 HPO 4 2.00 g Cysteine-HCl x H 2 O 0.50 g Resozurin (resazurin) 1.00 g Salt solution 40.00 ml Distilled water 950.00 ml

Further, as can be seen from the results of the following examples, it is preferable to maintain the pH at 6 to 6.5 during the culture of the strain, and it is preferable to maintain the pH at 4 to 5 during the recovery of the hexanoic acid after the cultivation Do.

The method for producing hexanoic acid according to the present invention comprises the steps of inoculating and culturing a culture solution of Megasphaera hexanoica strain (KFCC11466P); Adding a mixed solvent of oleyl alcohol and alanine 336 to the culture medium during the culturing; And removing the mixed solvent to obtain hexanoic acid in the mixed solvent.

The mixed solvent can be added to the culture solution when the growth of the strain enters the logarithmic growth phase. It is most preferable that the mixed solvent is added to the Megasphaera hexanoica strain (KFCC11466P) according to the present invention at the time of culturing for about 10-14 hours. In addition, the volume ratio of the oleyl alcohol and the alanine 336 contained in the mixed solvent is preferably 9: 1 to 6: 3. If the amount of ALAMIN 336 is too much outside the above range, toxicity of the microorganism may be induced and the growth may be inhibited.

It is preferable that the volume ratio of the culture medium and the mixed solvent is 1: 0.5 to 1: 3. As can be seen from the results of the following examples, it is more preferable that 1: 1 in case of batch culture and 1: 2 in case of oil culture Do.

It is most preferable that the pH is maintained in the range of 5.5 to 6.5 during the incubation period of the present invention. When the hexanoic acid is extracted by adding the mixed solvent according to the method of the present invention, the pH of the culture solution is continuously increased, In the present invention, it is preferable to add 2-6 M of butyric acid as a controlling agent capable of preventing the pH from rising through pH buffering, and the butyric acid acts as an electron acceptor As can be seen from the results of the following examples, the production amount of hexanoic acid can be further increased.

During the culturing, the production amount of hexanoic acid can be further increased by feeding fructose (carbon source) and nitrogen source to the culture liquid periodically and culturing the oil. At this time, the nitrogen source is most preferably yeast extract, peptone or a mixture thereof. Also, the concentration of the introduced fructose may be 20 to 60 g / L, and the concentration of the introduced nitrogen source may be 5 to 20 g / L. When the fructose and nitrogen source are added at an optimum concentration, the yield of hexanoic acid can be increased. If the concentration is less than the lower limit, the effect is insignificant. If the upper limit is exceeded, the yield is not increased any more.

In addition, in the present invention, productivity of hexanoic acid can be further improved by continuously feeding fructose and nitrogen source concentrated at a high concentration into the culture solution during the culturing. The reason for continuously injecting the fructose and nitrogen sources at a high concentration is to mitigate the impact on the growth of bacteria caused by the simultaneous introduction of the carbon source fructose and the nitrogen source, It is preferable to be charged at a rate of 3 ml / hr. If the amount is less than the lower limit, the effect of improving the productivity of hexanoic acid is insignificant, and if it exceeds the upper limit, the effect of alleviating the impact on the growth of the bacteria can be reduced.

In addition, it is preferable that the culture liquid contains acetate, butyrate, hexanoic acid or a mixture thereof as a component of the basic medium.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to preferred embodiments and the like. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art, however, that these examples are provided for further illustrating the present invention and that the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

When yeast extract and peptone were mixed with each other, the productivity of hexanoic acid was remarkably enhanced by their synergistic effect. Especially, yeast extract and beef extract were added at a ratio of 8.75 g / L, that is, 1: 1 The maximum amount of cyclohexanoic acid produced was 10.00 g / L.

Example  3. Hexanoic acid  Concentration of yeast extract for maximum production

The effect of hexanoic acid on the production of hexanoic acid was determined by the method of Example 2, and the effect of the single yeast extract on the production of hexanoic acid was measured by adding only the nitrogen source. FIG. 9 is a graph showing the production of hexanoic acid and cell growth according to the concentration of yeast extract. FIG. The yield of hexanoic acid increased with the concentration of yeast extract in the range of 6 to 18 g / L. Especially, when the concentration of yeast extract was 12 g / L, hexanoic acid was produced at the maximum, / L.

Example  4. After incubation, in the recovery step Hexanoic acid  Titration to improve productivity pH

Experiments were carried out using mixed solvents in which oleic alcohol and alanine 336 were mixed at a ratio of 9: 1 under two conditions suitable for pH of 4.73 and 6.11.

10 is a graph showing the extraction efficiency of hexanoic acid according to pH after culturing the strain. As a result, it was confirmed that, compared to the extraction of about 40% of hexanoic acid at pH 6.11, the extraction of more than 95% of hexanoic acid at pH 4.73.

Example  5. Using a mixed solvent Hexanoic acid  Extraction evaluation

Experiments were conducted to confirm the productivity when extracting hexanoic acid using a mixed solvent of oleic alcohol and alanine 336 while culturing Megaspera hexanoica strain (KFCC11466P) of the present invention. In the culture of the strain, medium containing 10 g / L of acetate, butyrate and hexanoic acid, respectively, was used as the basic medium.

FIG. 11 is a graph showing the productivity of hexanoic acid during fermentation with the volume ratio of the culture medium and mixed solvent being 1: 1. As shown in the figure, it was confirmed that hexanoic acid was extracted with keeping the interface without mixing the culture medium and the mixed solvent. The productivity of hexanoic acid was 0.41 g / L / hr when extracted under the above conditions And the yield of hexanoic acid was 20 g / L.

Example  6. pH  With modulator Hexanoic acid  Extraction evaluation

Experiments were carried out under the same conditions as in Example 5 except that 3 M butyric acid was added during the cultivation in order to examine the effect of using butyric acid as a pH regulator on productivity of hexanoic acid.

FIG. 12 is a graph showing the productivity of hexanoic acid during fermentation by adding 3 M butyric acid as a pH adjusting agent at a volume ratio of 1: 1 of the culture medium to the mixed solvent. As a result, it was confirmed that the pH was maintained at 5.99 even though hexanoic acid was extracted. Especially, productivity of hexanoic acid was 1.25 g / L / hr and production was 52 g / L.

Example  7. Fructose and  When the nitrogen source is periodically added and cultured, Hexanoic acid  Extraction evaluation

Experiments were carried out to confirm the productivity when extracting hexanoic acid while culturing oil by adding fructose (carbon source) and nitrogen source while culturing Megaspera hexanoica strain (KFCC11466P) of the present invention. The experiment was carried out under the same conditions as in Example 6, except that the volume ratio of the culture medium and the mixed solvent was 2: 1 during the culturing and that 40 g / L of fructose and 10 g / L of nitrogen source were added twice .
