Abstract
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is the most consumed dietary supplement and mainly biosynthesized by aerobic fermentation of Rhodobacter sphaeroides (R. sphaeroides). Oxygen supply was identified as a bottleneck for improving CoQ10 yield in R. sphaeroides. In this study, a precise regulation strategy based on dielectric spectroscopy (DS) was applied to further improve CoQ10 biosynthesis by R. sphaeroide. First, a quantitative response model among viable cells, cell morphology, and oxygen uptake rate (OUR) was established. DS could be used to detect viable R. sphaeroides cells, and the relationship among cell morphology, CoQ10 biosynthesis, and OUR was found to be significant. Based on this model, the online specific oxygen consumption rate (QO2) control strategy was successfully applied to the CoQ10 fermentation process. QO2 controlled at 0.07 ± 0.01 × 10- 7mmol/cell/h was most favorable for CoQ10 biosynthesis, resulting in a 28.3% increase in CoQ10 production. Based on the multi-parameters analysis and online QO2 control, a precise online nutrient feeding strategy was established using conductivity detected by DS. CoQ10 production was improved by 35%, reaching 3384 mg/L in 50 L bioreactors. This online control strategy would be effectively applied for improving industrial CoQ10 production, and the precise fermentation control strategy could also be applied to other fermentation process.
期刊介绍:
Bioresources and Bioprocessing (BIOB) is a peer-reviewed open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen. BIOB aims at providing an international academic platform for exchanging views on and promoting research to support bioresource development, processing and utilization in a sustainable manner. As an application-oriented research journal, BIOB covers not only the application and management of bioresource technology but also the design and development of bioprocesses that will lead to new and sustainable production processes. BIOB publishes original and review articles on most topics relating to bioresource and bioprocess engineering, including: -Biochemical and microbiological engineering -Biocatalysis and biotransformation -Biosynthesis and metabolic engineering -Bioprocess and biosystems engineering -Bioenergy and biorefinery -Cell culture and biomedical engineering -Food, agricultural and marine biotechnology -Bioseparation and biopurification engineering -Bioremediation and environmental biotechnology
