Although the surfactant has important characteristics for wide application in industry, its high production cost and low yield in practical production limit its application. Thus, increasing the yield of surfactants and reducing the production costs remain fundamental solutions for commercial applications of surfactants. In the related art, since the production of a surfactant by fermentation of bacillus subtilis requires aeration and stirring, foam is easily produced, and thus there is a problem that foam is easily produced and the yield of the surfactant is low. The optimization of the culture medium formula is one of the effective means for improving the yield of the surfactant.
Based on the above, the embodiment of the application provides a fermentation medium and a fermentation method for improving the content of the surfactant, and by adding the soybean fiber, the yield of the surfactant produced by fermenting bacillus subtilis can be obviously improved while foam is inhibited, so that the fermentation medium is favorable for realizing industrialized mass production, and has a huge industrial application prospect. Can solve the problems of low yield and high cost of the prior surfactant to a certain extent.
The embodiment of the application provides a fermentation medium for improving the content of surfactant, which is used for fermenting bacillus subtilis, and comprises, by weight, 4-7% of a carbon source, 0.65-2.25% of a nitrogen source, 0.13-0.6% of phosphate, 0.015-0.05% of magnesium sulfate, 0.0007-0.02% of calcium chloride, 0.0005-0.001% of manganese sulfate, 0.0006-0.06% of ferric sulfate, 0.5-1% of amino acid, 0.5-4% of soybean fibers and the balance of water, wherein the pH of the fermentation medium is 6.5-7, and the inoculation amount of bacillus subtilis bacterial liquid in the fermentation medium is 3-5% in terms of volume fraction;
The carbon source is at least one selected from molasses, glucose, brown sugar, maltodextrin and starch, and the nitrogen source comprises at least one of corn steep liquor dry powder, yeast extract and yeast powder in combination with urea.
In some embodiments, the carbon source may be selected from brown sugar, and the mass percentage of the brown sugar may be 4-7%. Compared with molasses, glucose, maltodextrin and starch, the quality percentage of brown sugar can better improve the content of the surfactant obtained by fermenting bacillus subtilis.
In some embodiments, the nitrogen source is selected from the group consisting of yeast extract and urea, wherein the yeast extract is 0.45-0.55% by mass and the urea is 0.45-0.55% by mass. The yeast extract is selected, so that the content of the surfactant obtained by fermenting the bacillus subtilis can be better improved compared with corn steep liquor dry powder and yeast powder.
In some of these embodiments, the phosphate may be selected from the group consisting of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and disodium hydrogen phosphate. The mass percentage of the potassium dihydrogen phosphate may be 0.03%, and the mass percentage of the disodium hydrogen phosphate may be 0.1%.
In some of these embodiments, the amino acid may be selected from leucine. Leucine as a component of the surfactant can provide an essential component for the growth of the surfactant, thereby better increasing the content of the surfactant obtained by fermentation of bacillus subtilis.
In some embodiments, the soybean fiber can be added in an amount of 1-3%, so that the content of the surfactant obtained by fermenting the bacillus subtilis can be better improved. The addition of the soybean fiber can improve the viscosity of the fermentation medium, so that the fermentation medium is more viscous, foam generated in the fermentation process can be inhibited to a certain extent, and meanwhile, the growth of bacillus subtilis thalli and the production of product surfactant can be promoted.
Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the application also provides an application of the fermentation medium for improving the surfactant content in the fermentation product of bacillus subtilis. The bacillus subtilis can be bacillus subtilis with a preservation number of CGMCC No. 24947.
Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the application also provides a fermentation method for improving the content of the surfactant, as shown in fig. 1, which can include:
Step S100, inoculating bacillus subtilis into a liquid seed culture medium, and culturing the seeds for 16-18 hours to obtain fermentation strains;
Step 200, inoculating a fermentation strain into a fermentation medium, and performing fermentation culture for 22-26 hours, wherein the inoculation amount of the fermentation strain is 3-5% in terms of volume fraction, and the fermentation medium is the fermentation medium in any embodiment;
And step S300, adding a feed medium, and carrying out feed culture for 46-50h.
In some embodiments, the feed medium comprises brown sugar, urea and leucine, and the feed medium is added in an amount such that the ratio of the added volume of the feed medium to the volume of the fermentation medium is 9-11%.
In some embodiments, the feed medium comprises, by weight, 20-35% brown sugar, 1-2.5% urea, and 4-5% leucine. Generally, since the basic body of the fermentation culture is relatively viscous, the viscous state can be maintained without adding soybean fibers in a subsequent feed medium, and the fermentation culture can also have a certain capability of inhibiting foam and promoting the growth of bacillus subtilis thalli and the production of product surfactant.
In some of these embodiments, the dissolved oxygen content in the seed culture, the fermentation culture and the feed culture may be controlled to be DO >20%, and the culture temperature may be 30-40 ℃.

TABLE 3 Effect of different classes of soybean substances on surfactant production
As a result, it was found from Table 3 that the addition of different types of soybean substances to the fermentation medium can inhibit foaming to some extent, but the effect on the content of the surfactant in the fermentation product of Bacillus subtilis is different. Wherein, after adding soybean powder and soybean fiber, only a small amount of foam was suppressed compared to the control in which the carbon source was brown sugar in example 2. In contrast, when the soybean meal was added, a large amount of foam could be suppressed as compared with the control in which the carbon source was brown sugar in example 2. The soybean meal is residue left in the oil extraction process of soybean, and mainly contains protein, fiber, mineral and other components. The soybean powder is powder prepared from soybean as raw material, and mainly contains proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, dietary fibers, etc. The soybean fiber mainly refers to the general name of macromolecular saccharides which cannot be digested by digestive enzymes, and comprises cellulose, pectin, xylan, mannose and other substances.

The basic components (namely fermentation medium components) comprise 7% of brown sugar, 0.5% of yeast extract, 0.5% of urea, 0.03% of monopotassium phosphate, 0.1% of disodium hydrogen phosphate, 0.015% of magnesium sulfate, 0.0007% of calcium chloride, 0.0006% of manganese sulfate, 0.0006% of ferric sulfate, 0.5% of leucinic acid and pH7.

The results of the experiment are shown in Table 4 below and FIG. 2.
TABLE 4 influence of different concentrations of Soybean fibers on the surface active substances
As a result, it was found from Table 4 that the effect of adding soybean fibers at different concentrations to the fermentation medium was different in the content of the surfactant in the fermentation product of Bacillus subtilis. Wherein, soybean fiber with the concentration of 3% is added, and the obtained fermentation product of the bacillus subtilis has the highest surfactant content.
Comparing example 4 with examples 1 and 2, it is seen that the concentration of soybean fiber added was 3%, and the surfactant content in the fermentation product of Bacillus subtilis was increased by approximately 50% as compared to the nitrogen source of the yeast extract type in example 1 without soybean fiber added. The resulting fermentation product of bacillus subtilis has a nearly 30% increase in surfactant content compared to the brown sugar type carbon source of example 2 without added soybean fibers.
Fig. 2 is a graph comparing the yields under the optimal conditions in examples 1,2 and 4, and it can be seen from fig. 2 that p≤0.001 shows that the addition of the soybean fiber can increase the content of the surfactant while suppressing the foam between examples 1 and 2, examples 4 and 1, and examples 4 and 2.
