Abstract:

Due to severe carbon overflow and high accumulation of byproduct adenosine presence in cAMP(cyclic adenosine monophosphate)fermentation process,cAMP concentration and yield stayed at lower levels all the time. In order to increase cAMP concentration and yield,glycolysis inhibitor sodium fluoride(NaF)was fed into the broth,and the causes for the improved fermentation performance were investigated from fermentation kinetics,activities of enzymes,energy metabolism and key metabolites levels. By adding 0.2 g/L NaF,cAMP concentrations in de novo synthesis and salvage fermentation modes reached 3.36 g/L and 4.35 g/L,with increments of 25.8% and 27.9%,respectively,when compared with those without NaF addition;and the conversion rate of glycoside also increased. In addition,adenosine and organic acids contents in NaF addition batches decreased observably,meaning that the fermentation performance was significantly improved. The results of key enzymes activities indicated that more carbon flux was directed into the pentose phosphate pathway for cAMP synthesis due to the inhibited glycolysis pathway by NaF;while 5'-nucleotidase from catalyzing adenosine significantly decreased,resulting in the reduced decomposition of precursor AMP and the product synthesis and glycoside conversion improved. Moreover,because of the addition of sodium fluoride,the levels of ATP/AMP,NADH/NAD+ and intracellular aspartate,glutamate and other precursor substances were significantly improved,and the increase in the energy metabolism and precursor substances also provided favorable conditions for product synthesis.
