In this study, Escherichia coli TRTH and Corynebacterium glutamicum TQ2223 were used for mixed fermentation in order to solve the problem related to the fermentation by-products (acetic acid and lactic acid) formation during L-tryptophan fermentation. During fermentation, acetic acid and lactic acid produced by E. coli were metabolized by C. glutamicum to reduce their negative effects on E. coli fermentation. The optimum condition for mixed fermentation was to inoculate 7.5% C. glutamicum TQ2223 after a 14 h interval, followed by incubating at 36℃ and pH 7.0. By using a 30 L fermenter, it was found that compared with conventional fermentation, mixed fermentation under the optimum condition decreased accumulated acetic acid and lactic acid by 84.8% and 82.9%, respectively. Moreover, the yield of L-tryptophan increased by 13.6%, and the conversion rate of sugar to acid increased by 19.1%. Overall, this study provides a new strategy for efficient L-tryptophan fermentation and builds a theoretical basis for applying mixed bacterial fermentation in amino acid fermentation.
