Efficient production of ε-poly-l-lysine using cassava starch and fish meal by Streptomyces albulus FQC-24
2022
ε-Poly-l-lysine (ε-PL) is used as a natural food preservative which consists of l-lysine units connected. However, due to the expensive culture medium, the production cost of ε-PL remains high. In this study, cheap raw materials cassava starch (CS) and fish meal (FM) were employed by S. albulus FQC-24 for ε-PL production. In the single factor experiment, the maximum ε-PL production reached 0.97 g/L at 60 g/L CS and 15 g/L FM. The results of screening experiments by Plackett–Burman design showed that three main components affecting ε-PL production were CS, FM, and (NH₄)₂SO₄. And the standardized effects of CS, FM, and (NH₄)₂SO₄ were 0.13, −0.22, and −0.2, respectively. The optimum fermentation medium developed by response surface methodology for ε-PL production contained (g/L) CS, 67.56; FM, 14.70 and (NH₄)₂SO₄, 5.41. Under the optimum conditions, the ε-PL production was achieved 1.30 g/L, with 34.02% higher than that before optimization. Moreover, ε-PL productions of batch and fed-batch fermentation in a 7-L fermentor were improved to 2.13 and 17.17 g/L respectively, which increased by 0.64 and 12.2 times compared with the shake flask culture. The results indicated that FM and CS are promising substrates for the efficient production of ε-PL.
