Definitions
- the present invention relates to the fermentative preparation of organic compounds having at least 3 C atoms or having at least 2 C atoms and at least 1 N atom using a dextrin-containing medium which comprises at least part of the non-starchy solid constituents of the starch source includes, for culturing the microorganisms.
- Sugar-containing liquid media are a basic nutrient source for many fermentation processes; the sugars contained in the media are metabolized by the microorganisms used to obtain organic products of value.
- starch An important source of carbon for the microorganism-mediated fermentative production of microbial metabolites is starch. This must first be liquefied and saccharified in upstream reaction steps before it can be used as a carbon source in a fermentation.
- starch from a natural source of starch such as potatoes, cassava, cereals, z.
- a natural source of starch such as potatoes, cassava, cereals, z.
- wheat, corn, barley, rye, triticale or rice usually obtained in pre-purified form and then enzymatically liquefied and saccharified, and then in the actual Fer- mentation for the production of the desired metabolic products.
- non-purified starch sources for the production of carbon sources for the fermentative production of microbial metabolites.
- starch sources are first crushed by grinding.
- the millbase is then subjected to liquefaction and saccharification. Since, in addition to starch, this millbase naturally also contains a number of non-starch-containing constituents which can adversely influence the fermentation, these constituents are usually separated off before the fermentation.
- the removal can be carried out either directly after grinding (WO 02/077252, JP 2001-072701, JP 56-169594, CN 12181 11), after liquefaction (WO 02/077252, CN 1 173541) or following the saccharification (CN 1266102; Beukema et al .: Production of fermentation syrups by enzymatic hydrolysis of potatoes; potatoe saccharification to give culture medium (Conference Abstract), Symp. Biotechnol. Res Neth., (1983) 6, NL8302229). In all variants, however, a largely pure starch hydrolyzate is used in the fermentation.
- More recent processes for the fermentative production of organic compounds comprise in particular a purification of the starch sources prior to fermentation, for.
- non-purified starch sources are widely used in the fermentative production of bioethanol.
- the starch sources usually whole cereal grains, first dry milled and then hydrolyzed the starch component of the starch source under the action of enzymes.
- the hydrolysis both discontinuously, z. B. in stirred tanks, as well as continuously, for. B. To be performed in jet cookers.
- Corresponding process descriptions can be found z.
- the Alcohol Textbook - A reference for the beverage, fuel and industrial alcohol industries Jaques et al. (Ed.), Nottingham Univ. Press 1995, ISBN 1-8977676-735, Chapter 2, pp. 7 to 23, and in McAloon et al., “Determining the cost of producing ethanol from starch and lignocellulosic feedstocks," NREL / TP-580-28989, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, October 2000.
- the viscosity of the suspension can reach a critical value as a result of the introduction of solids already in the preparation of the starchy suspension, whereby z. B. a suspension with more than 30 wt .-% maize flour in water is no longer homogeneously miscible (Industrial Enzymology, 2nd ed., T. Godfrey, S. West, 1996). This limits the glucose concentration in the conventional procedure. This is not relevant in view of the fermentative production of bioethanol, since higher concentrations due to the toxicity of the product for the yeasts used for fermentation could not be implemented in any case meaningful.
- JP 2001/275693 describes a process for the fermentative production of amino acids, in which the starch source used is peeled cassava nodules which have been ground dry. For carrying out the process, however, it is necessary to set a particle size of the ground material of ⁇ 150 ⁇ m. In the filtration used, a portion of the grind, including non-starchy ingredients, is separated prior to liquefaction / saccharification of the starch contained and subsequent fermentation. Moderate sugar concentrations are achieved in this process. A similar process is described in JP 2001/309751 for the preparation of an amino acid-containing feed additive.
- Increased sugar concentrations in the liquid medium used for the fermentation can be achieved by using a saccharification stock, which largely contains the solid, non-starchy components of the starch source, by the in the
- WO 2005/116228 (PCT / EP2005 / 005728) of the applicant can be achieved.
- a separation of the solid, non-starch-containing components contained in the starch source before fermentation has surprisingly proved to be unnecessary.
- the process described can be carried out with in-situ saccharification of the liquefied starch source.
- a similar process using starch sources selected from cereal grains is described in PCT / EP2006 / 066057 (the earlier patent application DE 10 2005 042 541.0) of the applicant.
- the method should in particular require a comparatively small amount of equipment and enable the use of media with high sugar concentrations. It should also be easy to handle the media used and their problem-free Characterize use in fermentation. In particular, the process should allow the use of cereals as a source of starch.
- the invention thus provides a process for preparing at least one organic compound having at least 3 C atoms or having at least 2 C atoms and at least 1 N atom by fermentation, comprising the following steps:
- Containing medium (1) comprising at least a portion of the non-starchy solid components of the starch source
- enzymes which hydrolyze dextrins to monosaccharides are not added or in an amount of less than 0.001 wt .-%, based on the total weight of the starch source used.
- the fermentation process according to the invention can be carried out efficiently in the dextrin-containing medium (1) without the need to add enzymes to be glucosed.
- small amounts insufficient to complete saccharification typically less than 0.001% by weight, especially less than 0.0005% by weight, based on the total weight of starch source employed, may be added.
- the inventive method largely avoids viscosity problems, such as may occur during liquefaction of the starch source at higher concentrations of millbase.
- the terms “dextrin-containing medium” and “dextrin-containing liquid” are used interchangeably. It is obvious to a person skilled in the art that the microorganism used in the fermentation must be capable of metabolizing the dextrins contained in the aqueous dextrin-containing medium (1), without these being converted into di- and / or by external addition of saccharifying enzymes Monosaccharides must be hydrolyzed. In this case, the dextrins are metabolized by the microorganism, presumably after having been treated by strain-own saccharifying enzymes, eg. B. strain-own glucoamylases were hydrolyzed.
- strain-own saccharifying enzymes eg. B. strain-own glucoamylases were hydrolyzed.
- the rate of saccharification in particular glucose release
- the rate of saccharification is adapted automatically to the requirements of the microorganisms on the one hand by the amount of biomass and, on the other hand, by the expression level of the strain's own saccharifying enzymes ,
- reaction means the hydrolytic degradation of starch into oligosaccharides, especially dextrins.
- sacharification or “saccharification” here and in the following mean the hydrolysis of dextrins to monosaccharides, in particular to monosaccharides such as glucose.
- sacharifying enzyme an enzyme which hydrolyzes dextrins to monosaccharides.
- oligosaccharides obtained by hydrolytic degradation of starch which as a rule consist of 3 to 18, in particular 6 to 12 monosaccharide units, in particular of glucose units.
- glucose equivalents and “sugar concentration” refers to the total concentration of mono-, di- and oligosaccharides in the medium potentially available for fermentation.
- glucose equivalents also encompasses the metabolizable sugars or sugar units other than glucose.
- overproducing and “overproduction” are used herein and hereafter with respect to a microorganism to refer to its property of producing one or more of its metabolites in an amount in excess of the amount needed to replicate the microorganism, whereby it comes to the enrichment in the fermentation medium, wherein the enrichment can take place extra- or intracellularly.
- Suitable starch sources for the process according to the invention are, in particular, dry grain crops or seeds which, when dried, have at least 40% by weight and preferably at least 50% by weight starch content. These are found in many of today's large-scale crops such as corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, triticale, rice and sugar beets, potatoes, cassava and various types of millet, z. Sorghum and MiIo.
- the starch source is preferably selected from cereals and especially among maize, rye, triticale and wheat grains.
- the process according to the invention can also be carried out with analogous starch sources, such as, for example, a mixture of various starchy crops or seeds.
- the respective starch source with or without the addition of liquid, for.
- liquid for.
- water ground, preferably without the addition of liquid. It can also be a dry grinding combined with a subsequent wet grinding.
- hammer mills, rotor mills or roll mills are typically used;
- agitating mixers, stirred ball mills, circulation mills, disk mills, annular chamber mills, vibrating mills or planetary mills are suitable.
- other mills come into consideration.
- the amount of liquid required for wet milling can be determined by the skilled person in routine experiments. Usually it is adjusted so that the content of dry matter in the range of 10 to 20 wt .-% is.
- the millbase obtained during grinding especially in dry grinding, in step a1) flour particles, ie particulate components having a particle size in the range of 100 to 630 microns in a proportion of 30 to 100 parts by weight. %, preferably 40 to 95 wt .-%. and particularly preferably 50 to 90 wt .-%.
- the millbase obtained contains 50 wt .-% of flour particles having a particle size of more than 100 microns.
- at least 95% by weight of the ground flour particles have a particle size of less than 2 mm.
- the measurement of the grain size is carried out by sieve analysis using a vibration analyzer.
- a small one Grain size is basically advantageous for achieving a high product yield. Too small a particle size, however, can lead to problems, in particular due to lump formation / agglomeration, during mashing of the ground material during liquefaction or during work-up, eg. B. in the drying of the solids after the fermentation step lead.
- flours are characterized by the degree of grinding or by the type of flour, and these correlate with one another in such a way that the index of the flour type increases as the degree of pulverization increases.
- the degree of milling corresponds to the amount by weight of the flour obtained, based on 100 parts by weight of the millbase used. While grinding first pure, finest flour, z. B. from the interior of the grain, is obtained in further milling, so with increasing Ausmahlungsgrad, the proportion of Rohfaser- and shell content in the flour, the starch content is lower.
- the degree of comminution is also reflected in the so-called flour type, which is used as a numerical value for the classification of flours, in particular of cereal flours, and which is based on the ash content of the flour (the so-called ash scale).
- the flour type or the type number indicates the amount of ash (minerals) in mg, which remains when burning 100 g flour powder substance.
- a higher type number means a higher degree of milling since the kernel of the cereal grain contains about 0.4% by weight, while the shell contains about 5% ash by weight.
- the cereal flours are therefore predominantly composed of the comminuted meal body, i. H.
- the starch component of cereal grains if the degree of milling is higher, the cereal flours also contain the crushed, protein-containing aleurone layer of the cereal grains; in the case of meal, the constituents of the proteinaceous and fat-containing seedling as well as the raw fiber and ash-containing seed shells.
- Flours having a high degree of milling or a high type number are generally preferred for the purposes according to the invention. If grain is used as the source of starch, then preferably the whole unpeeled grains are ground and processed further, if appropriate after prior mechanical separation of germ and husks.
- the millbase used contains at least one part, preferably at least 20% by weight, in particular at least 50% by weight, especially at least 90% by weight and especially not less than 99% by weight of those contained in the ground cereal grains starchy solid ingredients, according to the degree of milling.
