Ethanol is the main byproduct of anaerobic H2-producing fermentation in Klebsiella oxytoca HP1. Two moles of NAD(P)H are consumed to yield one mole of ethanol that may decrease bacterial hydrogen production. In this article the adhE gene that codes for acetaldehyde dehydrogenase was disrupted for the first time. A homologous recombination vector pTA-Str was constructed in which the adhE gene was disrupted by inserting an aminoglycoside-3'-adenyltransferase (aadA) gene. As expected, the vector includes the insertion 5′-adhE-aadA-adhE-3′. The amplified DNA fragment 5′-adhE-aadA-adhE-3′ from pTA-Str was transformed into K. oxytoca HP1 and one recombinant was obtained. PCR analysis of the resulting genomic DNA indicated the appropriate deletion and insertion. Compared with the H2-production of wild type K. oxytoca HP1, the hydrogen yield of the mutant increased by 16.07% and ethanol concentration decreased by 77.47%, suggesting that inactivation of the adhE gene in K. oxy- toca HP1 is a potential method for enhancing bacterial H2-production.
氢作为一种清洁的能源引起了人们的普遍重视.实验以产酸克雷伯氏菌(Klebsiella oxytoca)HP1为产氢菌株,以稻草粉为产氢底物,进行同步糖化发酵(Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation,SSF)产氢.对影响同步糖化发酵产氢的单因子进行试验,选取对氢产率影响较大的因子:温度、pH、纤维素酶用量等进行L9(34)正交试验.结果表明同步糖化发酵产氢的最佳条件为:温度40℃,pH6.5,纤维素酶用量为20FPAU/g稻草粉,摇床转速100r/min,发酵时间42h.在该条件下的最大氢产率为110.6mL/g稻草粉,稻草粉的氢转化率为22%.进行了10L放大发酵产氢试验,最大氢产率为122.3mL/g稻草粉,氢转化率为24.3%.与分步糖化发酵(Separate Hydrolysis and Fermentation,SHF)产氢相比,氢产率提高34.4%.研究表明,利用同步糖化发酵工艺可以提高生物制氢的产量和得率.
