at 16,000g for 3 min at 4°C. A portion of the supernatant (10 µL) was mixed
with glucose (HK) 20 reagent (1.0 mL) and incubated at room temperature
for 5 min. Standard solutions of anhydrous D-glucose containing 1–5 g of
glucose/L of distilled water were prepared. Ten microliters of each of the
standard solutions was mixed with glucose (HK) 20 reagent (1.0 mL) and
incubated at room temperature for 5 min. A blank (deionized water) (10 µL)
was incubated with the reagent and used for zero adjustment of the spec-
trophotometer. After 5 min, the absorbance was measured at 340 nm using
a Beckman DU 640 spectrophotometer, and the glucose content in the
sample was computed by least squares linear regression using a standard
curve.
Results and Discussion
Our previous biofilm reactor studies suggested that basal medium
(1 g/L of yeast extract + 60 g/L of glucose) was a poor nutrient medium
and did not promote good solventogenesis (5). The reactor fed with this
medium produced 3.75 g/L of total solvents compared with 11.90 g/L
using P2 medium. This indicated that P2 or CSL medium may be required
in this reactor design in order to produce solvents. As a result of those
studies, the following studies were performed using P2 or CSL medium.摘要:玉米浆(CSL),是玉米湿磨过程中的副产品,常用于固定的连续细胞生物膜反应器中取代昂贵的P2介质成分。在本对照实验中,用CSL对生产总量为6.29 g / L的丙酮-丁醇-乙醇(ABE)与6.86g / L的ABE的效果进行比较。这些研究是在稀释率为0.32 h-1的环境下进行。CSL实验控制的生产能力分别为2.19和2.01g /(L•H)。虽然使用的CSL会导致生产率下降10%,但与P2介质相比,它有着很好的经济优势。因此,CSL可用于取代P2介质。据实验表明,进料夹杂丁酸是有利于丁醇的发酵速度。控制实验中产生4.77g / L的总ABE和辅以丁酸钠的实验产生5.70g / L的总ABE相比较,丁醇的浓度从3.14g / L提高到4.04 g / L。
