Metabolic Flux Analysis and Optimal Control in the Process of Ectoine Fermentation

Abstract:

In this study, the metabolic network of ectoine by Halomonas venusta DSM 4743 was established. The key nodes to influence the ectoine fermentation in metabolic flux and the basis during optimal control of fermentation process were investigated. The results showed that G6P, α-KG and OAA nodes were the key factors to influence the synthesis of ectoine. The metabolic flux distributions at the key nodes were significantly improved and ectoine concentration was enhanced in ectoine fermentation by adopting monosodium glutamate as the sole carbon and nitrogen sources, feeding monosodium glutamate and supplying oxygen limitedly. The batch fermentation was carried out in 10 L fermentor , the concentration and yield of ectoine was 8.4 g/L and 0.1 g/g, respectively, which were increased by 2.8 and 2 times, by comparison with batch fermentation using glucose as carbon source.
