Popis: International audience; Objectives: The 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) that has been identified as one of the top platform moleculesby the United States Department of Energy is gaining more interest due to its versatile applications [1]. Amongnon-GMO microorganisms naturally able to produce 3-HP, Lactobacillus reuteri is a promising candidatethanks to its ability to use glycerol, a by-product in biodiesel manufacturing industries [2]. After a growthphase in batch culture, the 3-HP is produced in fed-batch by resting bacterial cells that do not consume glycerolas a carbon source, thus avoiding the synthesis of by-products that can hinder conversion yield and further 3-HP extraction [3]. As the 3-HP bioproduction is intimately linked to activities of intracellular enzymes thatdepend on the quantity and quality of cells, it is necessary to improve the biomass production step [2]. In suchcontext, this work deals with a screening of the effects of environmental growth factors on the bacterial growthand the cell ability to produce 3-HP during the bioconversion step.Materials and methods: The 3-HP bioproduction was achieved by a 3-stages process: cell growth, biomassharvesting and concentration, and glycerol bioconversion that was performed in fed-batch mode by restingcells. A Plackett-Burman experimental matrix was designed to test the effects of 11 environmental factors onthe growth and bioconversion performances of L. reuteri DSM 17938, including the culture pH andtemperature, the addition of glucose, yeast extract, phytone-peptone, 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO), cysteine,betaine plus KCl, Tween 80 and vitamin B12 in the culture medium, and the nature of the base solution usedto control the pH. Statistical analyses were performed using the software Statgraphic plus to identify thesignificant effects at 95% to 99.9% confidence intervals for coefficient estimations.Main Results: Among the studied factors, pH, addition of yeast extract or cysteine, nature of the base solutiondid not affect the growth. Meanwhile, higher glucose concentration and addition of 1,2-PDO to growth mediumled to higher cell concentration. Concomitantly, the supplementary glucose is also linked to the improvementof viable cell percentages at the beginning of the bioconversion. On the contrary, lower cultivation temperaturenegatively affected the growth.Regarding the duration of 3-HP production, some interesting factors were pointed out, including the additionof betaine plus KCl, 1,2-PDO, glucose and phytone-peptone in the growth medium. In contrast, the adjunct ofvitamin B12 that is an essential co-factor for the first enzyme of the bioconversion metabolic pathway showeda negative effect, indicating that it was not internalized and its biosynthesis by the bacteria was essential.Besides, glucose showed the negative impact to the molar ratio of 3-HP/1,3-PDO, since the supplementalNADH produced through glycolysis was re-oxidized to NAD+ preferentially through the glycerol reductioninto 1,3-PDO, at the expense of glycerol oxidation into 3-HP. Finally, the other nutritional and environmentalfactors used during growth did not affect significantly the further 3-HP production.Conclusion: The present study figured out the influence of 11 growth factors on L. reuteri DSM 17938 growthand ability to produce 3-HP afterwards. The experimental design performed allowed to identify a set of growthconditions that lead to a 3-HP production enhanced by 20% compared to the reference. A second experimentaldesign will be performed in order to optimize the environmental conditions during the bioconversion step.
