摘要
Sustained oscillations of biomass, ethanol, and ammonium concentrations, specific growth rate, and specific uptake rates of ethanol, ammonium, and oxygen were found in continuous cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae under controlled dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, and temperature conditions. The period of oscillations was approximately 2.5–3 h at a pH of 5.5 and 2–2.5 h at a pH of 6.5. Oscillations were observed only under conditions of low carbon (glucose below the minimum detectable level), nitrogen nutrient (ammonium concentration varied between 0.00001 and 0.0015M), and ethanol concentration (0.002–0.085 g/L) in the bioreactor. The oscillatory behavior at pH 5.5 was also characterized by partially synchronized cell growth and reproduction. Not only did the total percentage of budding cells oscillate with the same period as observed for the global biomass and nutrient concentrations, but the peaks in the individual subpopulations of initial budding, middle budding, and late budding cells appeared sequentially during the oscillation period. This provides strong evidence of the hypothesis that variations in metabolism during different periods in the cell cycle of a partially synchronized cell population are responsible for the observed oscillatory bioreactor behavior. The specific nutrient uptake rates for ammonium and oxygen as well as the net specific ethanol uptake rate oscillated with the same period as the biomass oscillations. These results show a dramatic increase in the ammonium and oxygen consumption rates prior to the initial budding of the synchronized subpopulation and a decrease in these rates during the late budding phase. At a pH of 5.5, the late budding phase is characterized by high specific ethanol productivity; however, the ethanol productivity lags the late budding phase at a pH pf 6.5. The observed time‐varying metabolism in the oscillatory operating regime appears to be the result of the metabolic changes which occur during the cell cycle. Models which can predict the oscillatory biomass concentration and nutrient levels in this regime must be capable of predicting the concentrations and metabolic rates of the subpopulations as well.
