Abstract

Process for preparing 2,5-Diketogluconic Acid ABSTRACT

A process for producing 2,5-diketogluconic acid which comprises aerobically propagating Acetobacter cerinus in a glucose medium and then recovering the resulting 2,5-diketogluconic acid or processing the fermentation broth by selective reduction to yield 2-ketogulonic and 2-ketogluconic acids.

Description

This invention relates -to the preparation of 2,5-diketo-gluconic acid.
2,5-Diketogluconic acid is a useful intermediate in the synthesis of vitamin C. Heretofore, 2,5-diketoyluconic acid has been produced by several different varie-ties of bacteria such as A etobacter melanogenum, Acetobacter aurantium, Gluconoacetobacter rubiginosus, Gluconoacetobacter liquifaciens and Pseudomonas ses-aml. The use of these microorganisms, however, is not completely desirable from an industrial point of view because of the pro-duction of large amounts of brown or yellowish-brown pigments as by-products of cultivation, thereby decreasing the purity of the co-produced 2,5-diketogluconic acid.
U.S. Patent 3,790,444 claims the production of 2,5-diketo-gluconic acid~ without accompanying brown pigment, by a new species designated Acetobacter fragum.
This invention is concerned with an economical process for preparing 2,5-diketogluconic acid by the use of readily available, publicly held strains of Acetobacter cerlnus. Two of these strains, I~O 3263 and 3266, produce 2,5-diketogluconic acid in yields of >95~ (based on glucose). The inven-tion accordingly provides a process for producing 2,5-diketogluconic acid which comprises aerobically propagating Acetobac-ter cerinus in a fer-mentation medium in which glucose is the main carbon source.
2,5-Diketogluconic acid is useful as an in-termedia-te Eor the preparation of ascorbic acid. An aclueous solution of 2,5-diketogluconic acid may be selectively reduced to provide a mixture of 2-ketogulonate and 2-ketogluconate which can be con-verted to ascorbic and erythorbic acids.
2,5-Diketogluconic acid is readily prepared by bacterial action on glucose employing according to the process of the present invention, readily available strains of A tobacter cerinus. All of the listed publicly held strains of Acetobacter cerinus have been tested and shown in this inves-tigation to produce keto-acids at a yield of 50-95% (based on glucose). When - 2a -~' Acetobacter cerinus IFO 3263 or 3266 is employed, the keto acid produced is entirely desired 2,5-diketogluconic acid in yields of > 95% (based on glucose). The available, publicly held strains of Acetobacter cerinus are as follows:
. _ IFO 3262 (ATCC 12303) These strains of Acetobacter cerinus are cultured in a medium of which the main carbon source is glucose. These micro-organisms do not require expensive organic nitrogen sources such ; as peptone or meat extract. When urea and inorganic nitrogen sources such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate or ammonium phosphate are employed, nicotinic acid is added as an essential growth factor.
The ylucose concentration in the medium varies betweeen 2.5 and 20%, preferably between 10 and 12%, in order to obtain 2,5-diketogluconic acid most economically. The fermentation tempera-ture is between 20 and 35C., preferably between 25 and 30C., most preferably around 28C. The initial pH of the culture medium may range from 3.5 to 7.5, preferably at 5 to 6. During the course of the ermentation, the pH is maintained at about 5.5 by the addition of sodium hydroxide solution. Calcium carbonate may be used for pH control and is added in medium make-up af-ter autoclaving at an amount of 30 grams per 110 grams of glucose.
After inoculation, the fermentation medium is agitated with a mechanical stirrer at about 1700 r.p.m., and aerated at the rate of 0.5 to 1 volume of air per volume of broth per minutes.
Employing Acetobacter cerinus IFO 3263 or 3266, the fermen-tation is conducted until a yield of 2,5-diketogluconic acid of at least 90% (based on glucose) is obtained (36-40 hours).

8~L

It was determined by paper chromatography that the c~nversion of glucose to 2,5-diketogluconic is via the following pathways:
glucose-~ 2-ketogluconic acid-~2,5-diketogluconic acid glucose-~ S-ketogluconic acid-~2,5-diketogluconic acid S Whatman No. 1 and No. 4 paper are used employing a solvent system of methylethyl ketone:acetone:formic acid:water (80:6:2:12). The acid spots are located by spraying with a 0.2~ o-phenylenediamine ethano1ic solution containing 1% nitric acid and heat1ng to about 70C, ~5-ketsgluconic acid - blue; 2-keto-gluconic acid - yellow;
2,5-diketogluconic acid - green). High pxessure liquid chromato-graphy may also be used for identification.
2,5 Diketogluconic acid may be separated and recovered from the final fermentation broth by any conventional procedure known to those skilled in the art. The filtered fermentation broth may be processed as is by treatment with a bo.rohydride and the resul-tant mixture of 2-ketogluconic acid and 2-ketogulonic acid hydrclyzed to yield ascorbic and erythorbic acids.

The following aqueous inoculum medium was prepared:
Grams/liter Glucose 25 Corn steep liquor 5 KH2PO4 0.5 K2HPO4 0.5 MgSO4 7H2O 0.2 CaCO3 6.3 pH 6.2 A shake flask containing one liter of medium was autoclaved for 30 minutes at 121C. The pH of the cooled medium was 5.0, Cells of Acetobacter cerinus IFO 3263 from a nutrient agar slant (5 ml of a 20 ml sterile aqueous suspension) were added to the flask which was then shaken on a rotary shaker at about 28~C. for about 24 hours.
An aliquot of the culture growth sufficient to provide a 5%, v/v inoculum was added to a 4-liter stirred fermentor contain-ing 2 liters of the following production medium:
In~redient Grams/liter Glucose 110 Corn steep liquor 0.5 (NH4~2HPO4 0.58 K~l2PO4 1.5 MgSO4 7H2O 0.5 Urea 0.5 cuSo4'5H2 1 mg Nicotinic acid 300 pH 6.0 The fermentation was conducted at a temperature of about 28C. with stirring at 1700 r.p.m. and aeration at the rate of 0.75 volume per volume of broth per minutes. After a fermenta-tion period of about 20 hours, sterile glucose was added (55 grams/liter). The pH was maintained at 5.5 by the addition of sodium hydroxide solution. The fermentation was continued until a yield of 2,5-diketogluconic acid of > 95% (based on glucose) was obtained.

The method of Example 1 may be repeated with comparable re-sults employing Acetobacter cerinus IFO 3266.
