Statistical Optimization of Medium Components for Mass Production of Plant Growth-Promoting Microbial Inoculant Pseudomonas trivialis BIHB 745 (MTCC5336).

ABSTRACT: Optimizing nutritional requirements for mass production of microbial inoculants in shortened time has relevance for their economical field application. Therefore, the present study aimed at selecting suitable growth medium, optimizing its components, and up-scaling inoculum production for plant growth-promoting Pseudomonas trivialis BIHB 745. Of the different media tested, the culture exhibited maximal viable colony count in trypticase soya broth with 17.6 % increased biomass on optimizing levels of carbon source, nitrogen source, and NaCl using response surface methodology. A twofold higher biomass with 9 h shorter incubation period was obtained in optimized medium in a bioreactor in comparison to shake flasks.

Project description:Lipopeptides are a promising group of surface-active compounds of microbial origin (biosurfactants). These diverse molecules are produced mainly by Bacillus and Pseudomonas strains. Because of their attractive physiochemical and biological properties, biosurfactants are considered to be "green and versatile molecules of the future". The main obstacles in widespread use of biosurfactants are mainly their low yields and high production costs. Pseudofactin (PF) is a lipopeptide produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens BD5. Recently, we identified two analogues, PF1 (C16-Val) and PF2 (C16-Leu), and reported that PF2 has good emulsification and foaming activities, as well as antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, and antiadhesive properties. Reported production of PF in a mineral salt medium was approximately 10 mg/L.Here, we report successful high-throughput optimization of culture medium and conditions for efficient PF production using P. fluorescens BD5. Compared with production in minimal medium, PF yield increased almost 120-fold, up to 1187?±?13.0 mg/L. Using Plackett-Burman and central composite design methodologies we identified critical factors that are important for efficient PF production, mainly high glycerol concentration, supplementation with amino acids (leucine or valine) and complex additives (e.g. tryptone), as well as high culture aeration. We also detected the shift in a ratio of produced PF analogues in response to supplementation with different amino acids. Leucine strongly induces PF2 production, while valine addition supports PF1 production. We also reported the identification of two new PF analogues: PF3 (C18-Val) and PF4 (C18-Leu).Identification of critical culture parameters that are important for lipopeptide production and their high yields can result in reduction of the production costs of these molecules. This may lead to the industrial-scale production of biosurfactants and their widespread use. Moreover, we produced new lipopeptide pure analogues that can be used to investigate the relationship between the structure and biological activity of lipopeptides.

Project description:Cupriavidus necator H16 is gaining significant attention as a microbial chassis for range of biotechnological applications. While the bacterium is a major producer of bioplastics, its lithoautotrophic and versatile metabolic capabilities make the bacterium a promising microbial chassis for biofuels and chemicals using renewable resources. It remains necessary to develop appropriate experimental resources to permit controlled bioengineering and system optimization of this microbe. In this study, we employed statistical design of experiments to gain understanding of the impact of components of defined media on C. necator growth and built a model that can predict the bacterium's cell density based on medium components. This highlighted medium components, and interaction between components, having the most effect on growth: fructose, amino acids, trace elements, CaCl2, and Na2HPO4 contributed significantly to growth (t values of <-1.65 or >1.65); copper and histidine were found to interact and must be balanced for robust growth. Our model was experimentally validated and found to correlate well (r2 = 0.85). Model validation at large culture scales showed correlations between our model-predicted growth ranks and experimentally determined ranks at 100 ml in shake flasks (ρ = 0.87) and 1 liter in a bioreactor (ρ = 0.90). Our approach provides valuable and quantifiable insights on the impact of medium components on cell growth and can be applied to model other C. necator responses that are crucial for its deployment as a microbial chassis. This approach can be extended to other nonmodel microbes of medical and industrial biotechnological importance.IMPORTANCE Chemically defined media (CDM) for cultivation of C. necator vary in components and compositions. This lack of consensus makes it difficult to optimize new processes for the bacterium. This study employed statistical design of experiments (DOE) to understand how basic components of defined media affect C. necator growth. Our growth model predicts that C. necator can be cultivated to high cell density with components held at low concentrations, arguing that CDM for large-scale cultivation of the bacterium for industrial purposes will be economically competitive. Although existing CDM for the bacterium are without amino acids, addition of a few amino acids to growth medium shortened lag phase of growth. The interactions highlighted by our growth model show how factors can interact with each other during a process to positively or negatively affect process output. This approach is efficient, relying on few well-structured experimental runs to gain maximum information on a biological process, growth.
