Abstract

Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a reddish-brown aromatic tricyclic ortho-quinone compound that functions as an electron transport cofactor. PQQ has high application value in food, medicine and cosmetics industries. In recent years, the production of PQQ by microbial fermentation methods has gained considerable interest. In this study, Hyphomicrobium denitrificans (CGMCC 1.12893) was selected as the starting strain, which could produce 31.4 mg/L PQQ at the shake flask scale. Through the combination of ARTP mutation and high-throughput screening method, a high-yielding mutant strain of PQQ was screened and numbered as 34, which accumulated 48.4 mg/L of PQQ, a 54.1% increase over the starting strain. For this strain, the components in the shake flask fermentation medium, including carbon source, nitrogen source, metal ions and vitamin were optimized, and the yield of PQQ increased to 105.2 mg/L. Finally, the production of PQQ was further increased to 349.8 mg/L in a 5 L bioreactor. In conclusion, the PQQ high-producing mutant strain was obtained through random mutagenesis screening, and production of PQQ was further improved through medium optimization in shake flask and fermentation in a 5 L bioreactor. The results laid a groundwork for the subsequent development of fermentation process control strategies.
