[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for producing highly pure D-lactic acid using a fermentation method. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for producing D-lactic acid using a specific neutralizing agent when producing D-lactic acid using D-lactic acid producing bacteria belonging to the genus Sporolactobacillus. [Prior art] It is widely known that D-lactic acid can be fermented and produced by lactic acid bacteria belonging to the genus Sporolactobacillus, and calcium carbonate is also used as a neutralizing agent (Research on lactic acid bacteria). (edited by Kakuo Kitahara, University of Tokyo Press (1966); see U.S. Patent No. 3,262,862). Furthermore, all conventional production methods are batch fermentation methods, which require a pre-culturing step that involves complicated operations such as multiplying the lactic acid-producing bacteria stored in each batch fermentation and sequentially increasing the amount of culture solution. It was said that For the purpose of efficient production, a semi-continuous culture method in which batch fermentation is repeated or a continuous culture method in which the supply of a medium and the withdrawal of a culture solution are performed continuously are also considered. In the former case, a decrease in the purity of D-lactic acid was observed due to repeated culturing, and in order to solve this problem, a method discovered by the present inventors (Japanese Patent Application No. 22907/1982) of adding a high concentration of growth promoting components was proposed. It is valid. In the latter case, the technology for preventing long-term bacterial contamination has not yet been established, so there is currently no industrial use at all. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Therefore, in the industrial fermentation production of D-lactic acid, it is necessary to carry out batch culture or to repeat batch culture in a state where the concentration of an expensive growth-promoting component is increased. Continuous culture must be used. However, these methods have problems that should be further improved in terms of production efficiency and economy. In order to solve this problem, as a result of intensive studies, the present invention was completed by discovering a method that can produce highly pure D-lactic acid even if batch fermentation is repeated. [Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides D.
- In producing D-lactic acid by culturing lactic acid-producing bacteria in a D-lactic acid production medium consisting of sugars, inorganic salts, and growth-promoting components by repeating batch culture, neutralization is performed with sodium hydroxide or ammonia. This is a method for producing D-lactic acid. (Used microorganism) Any microorganism that can be used in the present invention may be any D-lactic acid producing bacteria belonging to the genus Sporolactobacillus, and representative strains include Sporolactobacillus inulinus.
One example is ATCC15538. (Cultivation method) First, a seed strain of D-lactic acid producing bacteria belonging to the genus Sporolactobacillus is prepared in the same manner as in a normal batch fermentation method. In other words, as shown in Table-1
Cultivate in GYP medium or the like, and when the D-lactic acid-producing bacteria have grown sufficiently, the amount of culture solution is increased sequentially to adjust the inoculum of the D-lactic acid fermentation medium. In this case, the amount of culture solution may be increased by about 10 to 1000 times. D-lactic acid may be produced in a D-lactic acid fermentation medium using the seed bacteria obtained by sequentially increasing the amount of culture solution in this manner. As for the composition of the D-lactic acid fermentation medium, a medium suitable for the lactic acid-producing bacteria used may be used, but basically sugars such as glucose, fructose, sucrose, inulin, maltose, mannose, raffinose, and trehalose, or starch hydrolyzed Inorganic salts such as magnesium sulfate, ammonium sulfate, ferrous calcium phosphate, ferrous sulfate, etc. are added as necessary to one or more of these saccharide-containing substances, such as molasses, and saccharides are grown. Yeast extract, peptone,
It is necessary to add ingredients such as meat extract and soy flour. Since lactic acid-producing bacteria generally exhibit many nutritional requirements, the addition of these growth-promoting components is essential. Since fermentation is carried out under anaerobic conditions, an inert gas such as nitrogen may be aerated. The fermentation temperature may be determined based on the temperature for each lactic acid producing bacterium, such as Sporolactobacillus inulinus.
ATCC15538 prefers 37°C. The pH of the fermentation liquid gradually decreases as lactic acid is produced. D-lactic acid producing bacteria of the genus Sporolactobacillus are acid sensitive, so use a neutralizer to lower the pH to 4.5 or higher and 7.0.
Must be kept below. When the first D-lactic acid fermentation is completed in this manner, a portion of the fermented liquid can be used as a starter for the next fermentation, and the same lactic acid fermentation can be repeated again. In this case, when CaCO 3 is used as a neutralizing agent, the purity of D-lactic acid will decrease if a medium with the same composition as the first fermentation is used in the second and subsequent fermentations. To this end, from the second fermentation onward, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the purity of D-lactic acid by increasing the concentration of the growth-promoting component. However, when sodium hydroxide or ammonia is used as a neutralizing agent, the purity of D-lactic acid decreases even if the fermentation is repeated using a medium with the same composition as the first fermentation. do not. By using this method, highly pure D-lactic acid can be effectively produced without using large amounts of expensive growth-promoting components. Regarding the neutralizing agent used here, an aqueous solution,
Any type of powder or gas may be used, and may be determined as appropriate in consideration of operability.

The present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples below. In addition, in the purity measurement of D-lactic acid in the examples, the total lactic acid amount was measured using an ion exchange resin (SAX801).
L-lactic acid was measured by HPLC method using an enzymatic method using L-lactate dehydrogenase, and calculated using the following formula. D-lactic acid purity (%) = (1-L-lactic acid amount/total lactic acid amount)
×100 Example 1 Sporolactobacillus inulinus
ATCC15538 was inoculated into GYP medium and statically cultured at 37°C for 3 days. 1ml of this culture solution contains 1% CaCO 3
The cells were inoculated into 25 ml of GYP medium, and cultured for one day at 37°C to prepare a seed culture. 50 ml of this inoculum was inoculated into 950 ml of the fermentation medium shown below, and fermentation was carried out at 37° C. while controlling the pH to 5.8 to 6.2 with 8.5% ammonia water. Fermentation medium Glucose 100g / Yeast extract 5g / MgSO 4.7H 2 O 0.2g / FeSO 4.7H 2 O 10mg / MnSO 4.4.5H 2 O 10mg / NaCl 10mg / In 41 hours of fermentation, glucose is completely consumed and lactic acid 82g/was accumulated. The D-lactic acid purity of this product was 99.5%. 50 ml of this first D-lactic acid fermentation finished liquid was added to 950 ml of the above fermentation medium, and fermentation was repeated. The purity of D-lactic acid obtained was
It was 99.2%. A third fermentation was repeated in the same manner using this seed as a starter, and the purity of D-lactic acid was 99.3%. Example 2 Inoculum prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 was used, and the following fermentation medium was used, and the pH was controlled at 5.8 to 6.2 with a 20% sodium hydroxide solution at 37°C.
Fermentation was carried out in Glucose 200g / Yeast extract 10g / MgSO 4.7H 2 O 0.2g / FeSO 4.7H 2 O 10mg / MnSO 4.4.5H 2 O 10mg / NaCl 10mg / Glucose was completely consumed in 50 hours of fermentation, and lactic acid 128g / has accumulated. D- of this
The lactic acid purity was 99.2%. Fermentation was repeated five times in the same manner as in Example 1, and the D-lactic acid purity in the third and fifth times was 98.9% and 99.1%. Comparative Example An experiment similar to Example 1 was conducted using calcium carbonate as a neutralizing agent. In the first fermentation
A D-lactic acid purity of 99.2% was obtained, but the D-lactic acid purity decreased to 97.3% in the second fermentation. [Effects of the Invention] In D-lactic acid fermentation, by using a specific neutralizing agent, it was possible to maintain high D-lactic acid purity even when fermentation was performed using the liquid from the previous fermentation as a starter. D-lactic acid is important as a starting material for the chemical synthesis of various optically active compounds, and the demand for D-lactic acid has been increasing in recent years, and the present invention enables efficient production of D-lactic acid on an industrial scale. It became possible.
