1,3-丙二醇為合成泛用纖維-對苯二甲酸丙二醇(polytrimethyleneterephthalate, PTT)之單體,其產業應用性高。本研究主要目的,係探討菌株Klebsiella pneumoniae醱酵合成1,3-丙二醇之相關生產製程,以加速其日後工業化之應用。Klebsiella pneumoniae為革蘭氏陰性兼性厭氧菌。因此,首先考量不同供氧程度,對Klebsiella pneumoniae合成目標產物1,3-丙二醇之影響。結果顯示,菌株在有氧(200 rpm)條件下,有利菌株合成1,3-丙二醇,其產量可達7.6 g/L。最佳前培養條件之確立方面,研究顯示:以10 % LB前培養基菌液,接種於主培養,在培養條件為轉速200 rpm、30 ℃、初始pH 9,可得最佳之1,3-丙二醇產能,達9.5 g/L。其次,藉由回應曲面實驗設計法,進行培養基最適化。研究結果顯示:Glycerol、(NH4)2SO4、CoCl2•2H2O為影響Klebsiella pneumoniae合成1,3-丙二醇之三個主要參數,當使用Glycerol (34 %)、(NH4)2SO4 (3.4 mM)、CoCl2•2H2O(14μM)為主培養基,可獲得1,3-丙二醇最終產量為16.5 g/L,其產率為0.4 g/L/h。在醱酵策略方面,於24小時饋入1 %甘油,最終1,3-丙二醇產量、產率分為21.53 g/L及0.29 g/L/h。進一步利用批次饋料方式提升產量,分別於24、36、48小時,饋入1 %甘油及36、48小時饋入3.4 mM硫酸銨,1,3-丙二醇可達最大產量為27.85 g/L。其次,藉由 1H-NMR、13C-NMR 與EI-MS 鑑定其產物化學結構及分子量,研究證實:本研究K. pneumoniae醱酵所產生1,3-丙二醇,與標準品比對確實相符合。
1,3-Propanediol has numerous industrial applications in synthesize the monomer of widely used fiber-polytrimethyleneterephthalate (PTT). The purpose of this thesis is to study the related fermentation process for the production of 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD) by Klebsiella pneumonia. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacterium. Therefore, effect of different oxygen supply levels on 1,3-propanediol production was the first consideration condition. This work shows 1,3-propanediol can be produced by Klebsiella pneumoniae under aerobic condition (200 rpm), the production was 7.6 g/L. Also, 1,3-PD production was optimal in batch cultures when the temperature, pH, agitation rate were controlled at 30 oC, pH 9 and 200 rpm, respectively. This study shows that the concentration of 1,3-PD was 9.5 g/L under the optimal conditions. To further enhance 1,3-PD production, statistical experimental design methodology was applied to optimize the culture medium composition favoring 1,3-PD synthesis. Three key parameters (glycerol, (NH4)2SO4, CoCl2•2H2O) were selected by two-level factorial design. Response surface methodology was then used to identify the optimal composition of the three key parameters, giving an optimal concentration of 34 %, 3.40 mM, and 14 μM for glycerol, (NH4)2SO4,and CoCl2•2H2O, respectively. With this optimal medium, the 1,3-PD production could be markedly elevated to a yield of 16.5 g/L and a volumetric productivity of 0.40 g/L/h. For fermentation strategies, feeding 1 % glycerol at 24 hours could produce 21.53 g/L of 1,3-PD. With feed-batch strategy, the maximum concentration of 1,3-PD could be improved to 27.85 g/L,while the with feeding concentration of glycerol maintained at a value of 1%. Mass spectrometry (EI-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR) analysis indicate that the purified product from the broth of Klebsiella pneumonia is in consistent with sample purchased from Fluka Co.
