  • Title: Stimulatory effects of amino acids on γ-polyglutamic acid production by Bacillus subtilis.
    Author: Zhang C, Wu D, Qiu X.
    Journal: Sci Rep; 2018 Dec 18; 8(1):17934. PubMed ID: 30560878.
    Abstract:
    This paper is about study to increase the γ-PGA yield by developing new methods. The effect of various amino acids on production of γ-PGA by Bacillus subtilis Z15 was investigated. The γ-PGA yield was increased 23.18%, 12.15% and 31.46%, respectively, with 3 g/L aspartic acid (0 h), 1.5 g/L phenylalanine (0 h) and 7 g/L glutamic acid (24 h). Additonally, crude extract of glutamic acid after isoelectric crystallization (CEGA)could be a replacement for glutamate for γ-PGA production. Then, response surface methodology (RSM) was used for further optimization. The final media ingredient of amino acids were obtained as follow: CEGA 9 g/L, aspartic acid 4 g/L, phenylalanine 1.55 g/L. By applying this receipt in 5-L bioreactor, the γ-PGA yield reached 42.92 ± 0.23 g/L after 44 h, which is 63.1% higher than the control without amino acids for production. In addition, amino acids could shorten the lag phase and the average fermentation time (44 h versus 48 h). Fermentation with amino acids addition can be an positive option for γ-PGA production.
