Abstract

Agrobacterium sp. WS-8E3T produced low-molecular-weight β-1,3-glucan was obtained by adaptive domestication of Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31749. Before optimization, the yield of low-molecular-weight β-1,3-glucan by the bacterium used glycerol as a carbon source was 1.648 g/L. To obtain high-yield oligosaccharides with lower cost, the fermentation conditions were optimized. The optimal initial glycerol concentration was 20 g/L, after replenished 20 g/L glycerol when the residual glycerol content was about 10 g/L. The optimal initial ratio of compound nitrogen source was 4 g/L of yeast extract and 3 g/L of ammonium sulfate, with a liquid volume of 75 mL/500 mL and pH of 6.3. In 7 L fermenter, during the growth period of the bacteria, the optimal pH was 7.0, and the glycerol was 20 g/L. During the oligosaccharide-producing period, the pH was 6.3, and the glycerol was 30 g/L. The final yield of oligosaccharides reached 8.03 g/L, which was 386.7% higher than that of before optimization. The results of FT-IR analysis and monosaccharide composition was consistent with curdlan, and the degree of polymerization was 18-22. The single-strain fermentation strategy was used to significantly increase the yield of low molecular weight β-1,3-glucan for the first time, which provide a theoretical basis for further low-cost and large-scale fermentation production of low molecular weight β-1,3-glucan.
