Escherichia coli strain NZN111 could convert glucose to succinic acid efficiently in anaerobic conditions after the induction of gluconeogenic carbon sources in aerobic conditions. Acetate shows a strong effect on both yield and productivity of succinic acid. In this study, the fed-batch process of succinic acid production by NZN111 using acetate in a chemically defined medium in the aerobic stage was investigated and developed. Increasing cell density could increase succinic acid with a productivity of 3.97 g/(Lh) in the first 8h of the anaerobic phase with an overall yield of 1.42 mol/mol glucose in a 5L fermentor. However, there was strong repression from succinic acid in the later anaerobic stage. When succinic acid exceeded 30 g/L, the glucose consumption rate began to drop sharply along with the succinic acid production rate. Supplementation with glucose from 30 to 70 g/L in the anaerobic stage showed little effect on succinic acid production. Acetic acid and pyruvic acid accumulated had no effect on succinic acid formation because of their low concentration. With acetate as the sole carbon source for aerobic cultivation in the following scale-up, 60.09 g/L of succinic acid was produced with a yield of 1.37 mol/mol in a 50 L bioreactor.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

D019149 Bioreactors Tools or devices for generating products using the synthetic or chemical conversion capacity of a biological system. They can be classical fermentors, cell culture perfusion systems, or enzyme bioreactors. For production of proteins or enzymes, recombinant microorganisms such as bacteria, mammalian cells, or insect or plant cells are usually chosen. Fermentors,Bioreactor,Fermentor
D019289 Pyruvic Acid An intermediate compound in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. In thiamine deficiency, its oxidation is retarded and it accumulates in the tissues, especially in nervous structures. (From Stedman, 26th ed) Pyruvate,Acid, Pyruvic
D019342 Acetic Acid Product of the oxidation of ethanol and of the destructive distillation of wood. It is used locally, occasionally internally, as a counterirritant and also as a reagent. (Stedman, 26th ed) Glacial Acetic Acid,Vinegar,Acetic Acid Glacial,Acetic Acid, Glacial,Glacial, Acetic Acid
D019802 Succinic Acid A water-soluble, colorless crystal with an acid taste that is used as a chemical intermediate, in medicine, the manufacture of lacquers, and to make perfume esters. It is also used in foods as a sequestrant, buffer, and a neutralizing agent.
