Abstract

A method for fermentation-production of a pentanediamine, comprising: culturing a cell expressing a lysine decarboxylase to obtain a whole cell fermentation broth comprising a pentanediamine; and extracting the pentanediamine from the whole cell fermentation broth, and striping the whole cell fermentation broth of carbon dioxide contained therein before adding a strong base. The method greatly increases a production volume of the pentanediamine.

Claims

1. A method for preparing 1,5-pentanediamine by fermentation, consisting of the steps of:

(1) culturing a cell overexpressing a lysine decarboxylase and adding the substrates lysine and pyridoxal phosphate to start whole-cell catalysis to obtain a fermentation broth comprising 1,5-pentanediamine, wherein the cell is a cell whose expression is enhanced by replacing the promoter of the lysine decarboxylase gene with T7 promoter, and the cell is E. coli BL21(DE3), and no acidic pH regulator is added to the fermentation broth, wherein the cells themselves generate CO₂, to neutralize 1,5-pentanediamine;

(2) removing the cells in the fermentation broth to obtain a clear liquid of fermentation broth;

(3) removing carbon dioxide from the liquid obtained in step (2) by distillation under reduced pressure at about −

0.095 MPa and at a temperature from 60°

C. to 70°

C., and then adding a base to obtain a treatment liquid; and

(4) extracting a composition containing 1,5-pentanediamine from the treatment liquid obtained in the step (3) by distillation under the reduced pressure.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein in step (2), the removing is centrifuging or filtering.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein in step (3), the base includes sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and/or calcium hydroxide.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the prepared 1,5-pentanediamine is greater than 30 g/L of the fermentation broth.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the prepared 1,5-pentanediamine is greater than 50 g/L of the fermentation broth.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the prepared 1,5-pentanediamine is greater than 80 g/L of the fermentation broth.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the prepared 1,5-pentanediamine is greater than 100 g/L of the fermentation broth.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the prepared 1,5-pentanediamine is greater than 120 g/L of the fermentation broth.
