Abstract
α-ketoglutarate (AKG) is a valuable dicarboxylic acid with multiple applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. Its chemical synthesis is associated with toxic by-products, low specificity, and high energy input. To create a more environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative, a microbial production process for AKG was developed. Four potential producer strains were generated by metabolic engineering of Corynebacterium glutamicum and characterized on defined glucose/sucrose media as well as molasses, a side stream from sugar beet processing. While strain C. glutamicum PO6-iolT1 Δgdh ΔgltB mscCG’ ΔodhA was not able to grow on defined media it outperformed all predecessor variants on molasses. Successful scale-up into a fed-batch bioreactor process with molasses yielded 96.2 g AKG with a conversion yield of 0.64 g g−1. Finally, downstream processing by liquid–liquid extraction with ethyl acetate enabled product purification with an extraction efficiency of 87 % and an AKG purity of > 93 %.
期刊介绍:
Bioresource Technology publishes original articles, review articles, case studies, and short communications covering the fundamentals, applications, and management of bioresource technology. The journal seeks to advance and disseminate knowledge across various areas related to biomass, biological waste treatment, bioenergy, biotransformations, bioresource systems analysis, and associated conversion or production technologies.
Topics include:
• Biofuels: liquid and gaseous biofuels production, modeling and economics
• Bioprocesses and bioproducts: biocatalysis and fermentations
• Biomass and feedstocks utilization: bioconversion of agro-industrial residues
• Environmental protection: biological waste treatment
• Thermochemical conversion of biomass: combustion, pyrolysis, gasification, catalysis.
