Abstract
In bioproduction, yields of products must be calculated precisely for accurate evaluation of various fermentation conditions. To evaluate productivity of microorganisms, product amounts per unit of medium volume (e.g., mg-product/L-broth), and/or product amounts per unit of a microorganism amount (e.g., mg-product/mg-dry cell weight) are often used. Nonetheless, detailed procedures for calculation of these production yields are often omitted in research articles, whereas methods for product quantification are described well. Here, we describe a detailed calculation procedure from our previous studies on glutathione production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This procedure can be applied to various other products and microorganisms, and therefore, may prove to be useful in various other bioproduction studies.
Keywords: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (酿酒酵母)Background
Glutathione is the most abundant thiol-containing tripeptide in all living organisms and functions as a bioactive substance with varied roles in cells, e.g., as redox and antidotal agents. Therefore, glutathione is widely used in the medical, food, and cosmetic industries nowadays, and the demand has increased in recent years. Glutathione is industrially produced mainly by fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which originally contains a high concentration of glutathione and has served as a safe, food-producing microorganism. Studies of microbial glutathione production in various microorganisms will become more important in the future. To evaluate the productivity in terms of glutathione via fermentation by various microorganisms, here we describe our detailed procedures of sample preparation, quantification of reduced and oxidized glutathione by high performance chromatography (HPLC), and calculations of two types of yield (Hara et al., 2012; Hara et al., 2015; Kiriyama et al., 2013; Kobayashi et al., 2017).
