(Industrial Application Field) This invention is directed to Acetobacterium sp.
The present invention relates to a method for producing acetic acid from carbon dioxide and hydrogen using a novel mutant strain of Acetobacterium sp No. 446, Acetobacterium sp. MA-1. Acetic acid is used in the fields of food and industrial raw materials. (Prior art) Acetobacterium sp. is a microorganism that assimilates hydrogen and carbon dioxide and accumulates acetic acid.
No.446 (FERM P-7017)
There is. This bacterium grows in a neutral pH range, and in a liquid medium with a pH of 5.8, it hardly grows even after 22 days of culture. When cultured in a neutral region, the product acetic acid lowers the pH of the liquid medium and stops growth, so fermentation cannot continue unless the acid is neutralized with a base such as sodium hydroxide. If fermentation is allowed to continue through this neutralization, a complicated process is required in which acetic acid is extracted as acetate and then regenerated into free acid. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The purpose of the present invention is to treat Acetobacterium sp. No. 446, which grows in a liquid medium with a pH of 5.8 or lower, where Acetobacterium sp. No. 446 can hardly grow.
This is a novel method for producing acetic acid using carbon dioxide and hydrogen as substrates by obtaining 446 mutant strains. The present inventors have developed Acetobacterium sp. No. 446 at pH 5.8.
By acclimating the microorganisms to an acidic medium, we succeeded in obtaining microbial cells that can grow even at pH 5.8 or lower, leading to the present invention. (Means for solving the problems) The present invention uses carbon dioxide and hydrogen as substrates to
A novel mutant strain of Acetobacterium sp. No. 446, Acetobacterium sp. MA-, which can grow at a specific growth rate of at least 0.50 day -1 at a pH of
This is a method for producing acetic acid, which is characterized by culturing A. 1 and collecting the produced and accumulated acetic acid. The microorganism used in the present invention has a pH of 5.8, at which the parent strain can hardly grow, and has a pH of at least about 0.50 day -1.
It is considered to be a mutant strain of Acetobacterium sp. No. 446 in that it can grow at a specific growth rate of . Next, a method for creating Acetobacterium sp. MA-1, a mutant strain of Acetobacterium sp. No. 446, will be described. (Creation method) This mutant strain can be isolated by the following method. That is, as shown in Table 1. After sterilizing the liquid medium,
Use the liquid medium with an initial pH of 7.3 as the preculture solution for Acetobacterium sp. No. 446. Next, the above preculture solution is inoculated into a medium with the same composition but with only the pH adjusted slightly lower, and the culture is performed after replacing the gas phase with a sterilizing gas containing hydrogen and carbon dioxide. If bacterial growth is observed,
Furthermore, only the PH is subcultured into a medium adjusted to be lower, and culture is continued in the same manner. In this way, the present mutant strain can be obtained by culturing in successively lower pH media and finally culturing at an initial pH of 5.8. The pH after culturing this bacterium is
It was 5.1.

8676) (Culture method) The culture method is basically the same as that for general microorganisms, but it is necessary to prevent oxygen from entering, and in the laboratory, it is A method of standing or shaking in a tightly closed culture vessel is used. On a slightly larger scale, a commonly used fermenter can be used as is, and an anaerobic atmosphere can be created by replacing the oxygen in the device with an inert gas such as nitrogen or a raw material gas. The type of fermentation tank is not particularly limited, but in addition to commonly used stirring and mixing tanks, single- or multi-stage bubble column or draft tube fermentation tanks can also be used. The carbon source used for culture is usually supplied as carbon dioxide gas, but it can also be added to the medium as dissolved carbon dioxide, carbonate, or bicarbonate. As the nitrogen source, various nitrogen compounds that can be used in normal fermentation can be used, such as ammonium salts such as ammonium chloride and nitrates such as sodium nitrate. Other inorganic compounds such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, magnesium sulfate, manganese sulfate, sodium chloride, iron sulfate, cobalt chloride, calcium chloride, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, alum, sodium molybdate, boric acid, or biotin. It is common practice to add vitamins such as yeast extract and yeast extract. (Effect of the invention) By culturing the mutant strain and the parent strain in media with different pH,
Comparing the growth PH range of the mutant strain and the parent strain on the 8th day, as shown in Figure 1, the growth PH range of the mutant strain has shifted to the 0.7 to 0.8 acid side compared to the parent strain. I understand that. On the acidic side at pH 6.3 or below, the mutant strain grows better than the parent strain.
In particular, the growth of the mutant strain at pH 5.8 is significantly better than that of the parent strain. When cultured at pH 5.8, the specific growth rate of the mutant strain was more than 20 times that of the parent strain. The final pH of the culture solution with pH 5.8 was 5.1. From the above, by using this mutant strain, there is no need to extract acetic acid as acetate and then regenerate it into free acid. (Example) After dispensing 5 ml of the liquid medium shown in Table 1 into test tubes,
It was sterilized and the pH was adjusted to 5.8. After inoculating 200μ of the preculture solution of the obtained mutant strain Acetobacterium sp. MA-1 and replacing the gas phase with a sterilizing gas containing hydrogen (67%) and carbon dioxide (33%),
It was statically cultured at 30°C. The specific growth rate at this time is
0.53day -1 , and the acetic acid accumulation after 14 days of culture is 0.2
It was g/. And the final pH of the culture solution is 5.1
It was hot. (Comparative Example) The parent strain was statically cultured at 30°C for 14 days in a liquid medium with an initial pH of 5.8. At this time, no acetic acid production was observed. Moreover, the final pH was 5.8.
