Abstract

Objectives

Bacillus subtilis is a plant growth promoting bacterium (PGPB) that acts as a microbial fertilizer and biocontrol agent, providing benefits such as boosting crop productivity and improving nutrient content. It is able to produce secondary metabolites and endospores simultaneously, enhancing its ability to survive in unfavorable conditions and eliminate competing microorganisms. Optimizing cultivation methods to produce B. subtilis MSCL 897 spores on an industrial scale, requires a suitable medium, typically made from food industry by-products, and optimal temperature and pH levels to achieve high vegetative cell and spore densities with maximum productivity.

Results

This research demonstrates successful pilot-scale (100 L bioreactor) production of a biocontrol agent B. subtilis with good spore yields (1.5 × 109 spores mL−1) and a high degree of sporulation (>80%) using a low-cost cultivation medium. Culture samples showed excellent antifungal activity (1.6–2.3 cm) against several phytopathogenic fungi. An improved methodology for inoculum preparation was investigated to ensure an optimal seed culture state prior to inoculation, promoting process batch-to-batch repeatability. Increasing the molasses concentration in the medium and operating the process in fed-batch mode with additional molasses feed, did not improve the overall spore yield, hence, process operation in batch mode with 10 g molasses L−1 is preferred. Results also showed that the product quality was not significantly impacted for up to 12 months of storage at room temperature.

Conclusion

An economically-feasible process for B. subtilis-based biocontrol agent production was successfully developed at the pilot scale.

在低成本培养基中试生产枯草芽孢杆菌 MSCL 897 孢子生物量和抗真菌次生代谢物
目标枯草芽孢杆菌是一种植物生长促进菌(PGPB),可作为微生物肥料和生物防治剂,具有提高作物产量和改善养分含量等功效。它能同时产生次级代谢产物和内生孢子,增强了在不利条件下的生存能力,并能消灭竞争微生物。结果这项研究证明,使用低成本的培养基,成功地以中试规模(100 升生物反应器)生产了一种生物控制剂枯草芽孢杆菌,其孢子产量高(1.5×109 个孢子 mL-1),孢子化程度高(80%)。培养样本对几种植物病原真菌表现出卓越的抗真菌活性(1.6-2.3 厘米)。研究了一种改进的接种物制备方法,以确保接种前种子培养的最佳状态,提高批次间的工艺可重复性。提高培养基中的糖蜜浓度以及在喂料批次模式下使用额外的糖蜜喂料并不能提高总体孢子产量,因此最好在批次模式下使用 10 克糖蜜 L-1 进行工艺操作。结果还显示,在室温下储存 12 个月后,产品质量也没有受到明显影响。
