甘草细胞在搅拌式生物反应器中的放大培养

在建立了稳定的甘草细胞搅拌式生物反应器放大培养体系的基础上,本文研究了甘草细胞在搅拌式反应器中悬浮培养的生长特性,包括细胞生长、细胞膜的透性、培养体系的p H变化及甘草黄酮合成情况等,并与摇瓶培养作比较。结果发现,同等条件下,反应器中培养细胞生物量的积累低于摇瓶培养,整个培养周期较摇瓶培养缩短。培养过程中同一时间段反应器中的p H值略低于摇瓶中的p H,细胞中H2O2的浓度是摇瓶中的1.8倍,甘草黄酮的产量是摇瓶培养的1.5倍,表明反应器中机械搅拌与流体剪切的培养环境对细胞生长起到一定程度的抑制作用,但刺激了细胞次生代谢产物甘草黄酮较高水平的合成。     

摇瓶培养条件下雷公藤不定根生长及次生代谢产物含量的研究

以雷公藤(Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f.)不定根为材料,研究摇瓶悬浮培养条件下接种密度、装液比例、逐级放大、消泡剂、大孔吸附树脂种类及浓度对雷公藤不定根增长量、不定根及培养基中雷公藤内酯醇、雷公藤吉碱、雷公藤次碱含量的影响。结果显示,接种密度在15 g/L (FW)时较适合不定根的继代培养和次生代谢产物的积累。250 m L摇瓶中装入100 m L培养基,即装液量为2/5时,培养基利用率最高。随着摇瓶体积的逐渐放大,不定根增长量和3种次生代谢产物含量略有下降,5 L摇瓶中不定根增长量为对照的91.6%,内酯醇、吉碱和次碱的含量分别为对照的91.8%、91.7%和96.9%。6种大孔吸附树脂中,XAD-7处理对不定根的生长有明显促进作用,培养结束时,3种次生代谢产物产量显著提高,当XAD-7浓度为0.5 g/瓶时不定根增长量为对照的1.2倍,内酯醇、吉碱和次碱产量最高,分别为对照的2.9、2.4和2.2倍。培养基中添加消泡剂后不定根增长量、3种次生代谢产物总产量均不同程度下降,其中,LX-603处理后,虽然不定根增长量为对照的85%,内酯醇、吉碱和次碱产量分别为对照的78%、64%和87%,但明显抑制了培养过程中泡沫的产生。研究结果表明筛选的摇瓶逐级放大培养雷公藤不定根的方法效果较好,可为雷公藤不定根生物反应器放大培养奠定基础。

研究了大蒜细胞在发酵罐培养过程中pH变化、细胞生长、SOD合成及培养基中各种基质的消耗规律。结果发现,大蒜细胞发酵罐中悬浮培养的pH变化趋势为先降后升,波动范围为4 25～5 37,获得最大生物量和SOD总酶活分别为16 3gDW/L和7 72×104U/L,相应为摇瓶培养的73 69%和71 35%。同摇瓶培养相比,发酵罐培养基中各种基质消耗出现滞后现象,且利用效率偏低。     

一株寡营养细菌胞外多糖的摇瓶发酵研究

从新疆的寡营养环境——古尔班通古特沙漠中分离到一株寡营养细菌Azotobacter sp．(1～15mg碳/L培养基),通过进行Azotobacter sp．菌的单因子优化培养基的试验、摇瓶培养工艺条件的优化试验(培养温度、培养时间、初始pH值、溶氧量),确定了菌种生长与营养需求等主要因子与胞外多糖产量、粘度的关系,结果表明,摇瓶发酵的最适宜条件为:以蔗糖为碳源,碳酸钙含量为2g/L,初始pH值为7左右,种龄72～84h,磷酸二氢钾、硫酸镁的含量分别为0．3g/L、0．1g/L,接种体积分数15%,于37℃摇瓶培养72h,250mL摇瓶装液量为50mL,在适宜条件下粘多糖的产量最大可达到1145．94μg/mL,粘性可达9200 mPa·s。     

长春花培养细胞在摇瓶和生物反应器中生长和生物碱生成的比较

比较了不同体积摇瓶和１６Ｌ（工作体积１０Ｌ）搅拌式生物反应器中长春花（Ｃａｔｈａｒａｎｔｈｕｓｒｏｓｅｕｓ（Ｌ．）Ｇ．Ｄｏｎ）培养细胞生长和生物碱生成情况,发现在摇瓶中小规模放大培养,细胞生长和生物碱生成无显著差异,摇瓶体积不变而培养物体积增加时,细胞干重和生物碱生成均下降。反应器中培养细胞干重与摇瓶中相当,但生物碱含量大大下降。从而提示,培养环境的改变,特别是通气状况和剪切力是培养细胞从摇瓶到反应器放大过程中影响生物碱生成的主要因素。     

放大培养对岩黄连细胞悬浮培养的影响

为了优化岩黄连细胞悬浮培养的条件,研究了在放大培养过程中,岩黄连细胞生长与主要营养成分的代谢动力学,以及生物碱的产生情况。结果表明,在不同培养体系下,细胞生长曲线均呈现"S"型。随着培养体积从50、100 mL放大到500 mL和1 L,培养液中碳源、氮源和磷源的消耗减慢,细胞生物量减少,生物碱产量降低。其中100 mL培养体系所获生物量最高,达到15.2 g/L,生物碱产量也最高,脱氢卡维丁为8.35 mg/mL,小檗碱为4.58 mg/mL。根据本文结果,提出了岩黄连细胞培养条件的优化和大规模细胞培养生产岩黄连生物碱应采取的策略。     

四种前体对胀果甘草细胞悬浮培养生产甘草黄酮的调控效果评价

在胀果甘草细胞悬浮体系中加入苯丙氨酸、酪氨酸、肉桂酸和乙酸钠来研究前体对甘草细胞生产甘草黄酮的影响。结果显示,4种前体在合适的浓度下对细胞的生长没有明显的抑制作用,而且均能促进细胞内甘草黄酮的生物合成,但高浓度的肉桂酸对细胞的生长有一定的抑制作用。苯丙氨酸的最佳添加浓度为20 mg/L,酪氨酸、肉桂酸、乙酸钠的最佳添加浓度都是5 mg/L。此时,均可使培养体系的甘草黄酮产量高达100 mg/L以上,其中酪氨酸的添加使得产量高达对照的1.43倍。苯丙氨酸、肉桂酸和乙酸钠3种前体的添加时间均以第10天为宜,酪氨酸添加时间以第5天为最佳。而且,在添加苯丙氨酸和乙酸钠后的第3天收获细胞,此时细胞的生物量和甘草黄酮产量最大。此外,苯丙氨酸、乙酸钠的添加可以增加黄酮合成的关键酶之一——苯丙氨酸裂解酶的活性。酪氨酸对苯丙氨酸裂解酶影响不大,而肉桂酸的添加却导致其活性显著降低。     

岩黄连细胞生长与营养物质消耗的动态学研究

在岩黄连细胞悬浮培养过程中,对培养液pH值,碳源、氮源和磷酸盐含量,以及细胞生物量和生物碱含量进行测定,分析其动态变化过程。结果显示培养液pH值在培养初期降低,后逐渐升高;碳源在培养过程中逐渐被利用,磷酸盐和氮源在培养中期几乎耗尽,其中磷酸盐的消耗速率最快;悬浮细胞的生长周期为20 d左右,第18天细胞鲜重和干重达最大,而第21天脱氢卡维丁和小檗碱的含量最高,分别为8.22mg/L和4.31mg/L。结果表明营养物质(碳、氮和磷)的吸收与细胞生长以及生物碱的合成密切相关,营养元素的相对消耗速率为磷>氮>碳,推测氮和磷是影响岩黄连细胞培养的主要因素。     

Anthraquinones production in Rubia tinctorum cell suspension cultures: Down scale of shear effects

The effect of turbulence on suspended cells is one of the most complex problems in the scale-up of cell cultures. In the present paper, a direct comparison of the effects of turbulence on suspension cultures of Rubia tinctorum in a standard bioreactor and in shake flask cultures was done. A procedure derived from the well known global method proposed by Nishikawa et al. (1977) [39] was applied. Standard flasks and four-baffled shake flasks were used. The effect of turbulence and light irradiation on cell viability, biomass, and anthraquinones (AQs) production was evaluated. The biomass concentration and AQs production obtained using baffled shake flasks agitated at 360 rpm were similar to that achieved in R. tinctorum suspension cultures growing in a stirred tank bioreactor operating at 450 rpm, previously published (Busto et al., 2008 [17]). The effect of light on AQs production was found to be very significant, and a difference of up to 48% was found in cells with and without illumination after 7 days of culture. It is concluded that this down-scaled and simple flask culture system is a suitable and valid small scale instrument for the study of intracellular mechanisms of turbulence-induced AQs production in R. tinctorum suspension cultures.     

Characteristics of transformedPanax ginseng C.A. Meyer hairy roots: Growth and nutrient profile

Ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) hairy root cultures, which are established via the infection of ginseng root discs withRhizobium rhizogenes, have been used to construct profiles of both biomass growth and nutrient consumption in flask cultures. In a 250 mL shake flask culture, the maximum biomass was observed on the 59th day of the culture period, at 216.8 g (fresh wt) per liter or 11.4 g (dry wt) per liter. The hairy roots were determined to have a growth rate of 0.355 g-DW/g cells/day during the exponential growth phase and a maximum specific growth rate on day 7. Total ginseng saponin and phenolic compound contents were noted to have increased within the latter portion of the culture period. Linear correlations between increases in biomass weight and nutrient uptake were used to imply the conductivity yield 2.60 g-DW/(L·mS) and carbon yield 0.45 g-DW/(g sugar) in the 250 mL flask cultures. The biomass yield when two different nitrogen sources were used (ammonia and nitrate) was shown to remain approximately constant, at 0.47 g-DW/(l·mM NH₄) and 0.33 g-DW/(L·mM NO₃); it remained at these levels for 16 days with the ammonia, and for 24 days with the nitrate. The biomass yield when a phosphate source was used was also shown to remain approximately constant for 9 days, at 3.17 g-DW/(L·mM PO₄), with an R² of 0.99.     

Comparison of Cell Growth and Alkaloid Production of Catharanthus roseus Cells Cultured in Shake Flask and in Bioreactor

The cell growth and alkaloid production of Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don cells cultured in the shake flasks with different volumes and in the stirred tank bioreactor (10 L) were compared. Cell dry weight and alkaloid production showed no significant difference in the small volume scale-up shake flasks. When more broths were added to a certain volume in the shake flask, both cell weight and alkaloid production were decreased. The maximum cell dry weight was similar between the cell cultures in the shake flask and the bioreactor, but the alkaloid production of cells was much less in the bioreactor. Gas regime and shear stress were recognized to be the main factors contributing the important effect on alkaloid production during the scale-up processes.     

Dissolved oxygen levels affect dimorphic growth by the entomopathogenic fungus Isaria fumosorosea

The entomopathogenic fungus Isaria fumosorosea is capable of dimorphic growth (hyphal or yeast-like) in submerged culture. Using 250-mL baffled flasks, culture volumes of 50, 100, 150, and 200 mL were grown in a shaker incubator at 350 rpm and 28°C. Dissolved oxygen (DO) was continuously monitored using a non-invasive oxygen monitoring system. Culture volumes of 50 mL maintained DO concentrations above 10% throughout the 3-day growth period and accumulated biomass and produced blastospores more rapidly (1.2×10⁹ blastospores mL^?1 in 2 days) than the other culture volumes tested. Dissolved oxygen was depleted in culture volumes of 100, 150, and 200 mL after 20.5, 16.8, and 13.5 h, respectively. The DO in 150 and 200 mL cultures remained exhausted (<3%) throughout the growth period resulting in significantly lower blastospore yields and increased hyphal growth. These results were used to establish oxygen levels (>20% DO) for I. fumosorosea growth in 100-L bioreactors resulting in blastospore production (1.1×10⁹ blastospores mL^?1 in 2 days) comparable to highly aerated, low volume shake flask cultures. In addition, maintaining higher DO levels resulted in increased blastospore production by cultures of I. fumosorosea grown on low-cost nitrogen sources (cottonseed meal and soy flour) that previously elicited excessive hyphal growth. These studies showed that oxygen availability is essential for significant yeast-like growth by I. fumosorosea cultures and that continuous monitoring of oxygen concentrations in shake flask cultures can be used to establish aeration conditions for bioreactors.     

Influence of culture conditions on thermostable lipase production by a thermophilic alkalitolerant strain ofBacillus sp

The effect of different culture conditions on thermostable lipase production byBacillus sp. was studied in shake flasks. A maximum enzyme activity of 67–75 nkat/mL was observed in a medium consisting of 0.5% soybean flour and 0.1% stearyl glycerol esters or natural fats. A lipase activity of about 117 nkat/mL was established when the cultivation was carried out in laboratory fermentor at 20% minimal dissolved oxygen level, the enzyme production being increased 1.5 fold compared to that in a flask culture.

Yield enhancement strategies for the production of picroliv from hairy root culture of Picrorhiza kurroa Royle ex Benth.

Fast-growing hairy root cultures of Picrorhiza kurroa induced by Agrobacterium rhizogenes offers a potential production system for iridoid glycosides. In present study we have investigated the effects of various nutrient medium formulations viz B5, MS, WP and NN, and sucrose concentrations (1–8%) on the biomass and glycoside production of selected clone (14-P) of P. kurroa hairy root. Full strength B5 medium was found to be most suitable for maximum biomass yield on the 40th day of culture (GI = 32.72 ± 0.44) followed by the NN medium of the same strength (GI = 22.9 ± 0.43). Secondary metabolite production was 1.1 and 1.3 times higher in half strength B5 medium respectively in comparison to MS medium. Maximum biomass accumulation along with the maximum picroliv content was achieved with 4% sucrose concentration in basal medium. RT vitamin and Thiamine-HCl effected the growth and secondary metabolite production of hairy roots growing on MS medium but did not show any effect on other media. The pH of the medium played significant role in growth and secondary metabolite production and was found to be highest at pH 6.0 while lowest at pH 3.0 and pH 8.0. To enhance the production of biomass and Picroliv 5 liter working capacity bioreactor was used, 27-fold (324 g FW) higher growth was observed in bioreactor than shake flask and secondary metabolite production was similarly enhanced.     

Comparison of the kinetics of lipopeptide production by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens XZ-173 in solid-state fermentation under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions

This study aimed to compare the kinetics of lipopeptide production in solid-state fermentation (SSF) under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. Models based on the logistic, modified Gompertz and Luedeking–Piret-like equations were developed to describe the time course of fermentation under different conditions. The experiments were conducted in 250 mL flasks and a 50 L fermenter. The results showed that the non-isothermal process had higher levels of product formation rate and substrate utilization rate compared to the isothermal process. The part of substrate carbon to meet microbial maintenance—energy, biomass and lipopeptides formation requirements got increased using the non-isothermal technique. In addition, fermenter conditions positively influenced the lipopeptides formation rate with significantly higher levels of substrate for the microbial growth and product formation, though the product productivity and biomass both decreased as compared to flask. This is the first report that investigates the effects of temperature changing on the kinetics of lipopeptide production by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain under SSF condition using soybean flour and rice straw as major substrates in flask and in fermenter.     

Dynamics analyses of nutrients consumption and flavonoids accumulation in cell suspension culture of Glycyrrhiza inflata

The dynamics of biomass accumulation, production of flavonoids and consumption of carbon, nitrogen and phosphate were investigated in Glycyrrhiza inflata Batal cell suspensions cultivated in flasks. Biomass accumulation exhibited a “S”-shape curve in each culture cycle, with the greatest values obtained on day 21 (16.4 and 232.4 g dm⁻³ of dry and fresh mass, respectively). Similarly, flavonoids production also got to a peak of 95.7 mg dm⁻³ on day 21. Sucrose was decomposed to reducing sugars which were almost used up on day 22. Nitrate and phosphate in the medium were almost exhausted on day 18 and 10, respectively, while ammonium still maintained at concentration 100 mg dm⁻³ when the cells were harvested. Consequently, the proportion of ammonium to nitrate in the medium should be optimized for higher flavonoid production.
