Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a process for preparing a medium chain fatty acid from a long chain fatty acid using bioconversion and chemical conversion,

The present invention relates to a method for producing a heavy chain fatty acid from a long chain fatty acid using bioconversion and chemical conversion. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for producing a heavy chain fatty acid from a long chain fatty acid, A step of obtaining an ester compound from a long chain fatty acid having 16 to 20 carbon atoms through a bioconversion process using a microorganism capable of reacting with an ester compound obtained from the ester compound obtained through chemical hydrolysis and oxidation, Chain fatty acids comprising the step of producing an omega-hydroxy fatty acid or an alpha, omega-dicarboxylic acid.

Medium chain alpha, omega-dicarboxylic acids and omega-aminocarboxylic acids are widely used in plastics such as polyamides and polyesters, pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, lubricating oils, And as building blocks and / or building blocks for the production of such products. For example, omega-aminoundecanoic acid is used for the synthesis of polyamide 11. It offers a wide range of flexibility and outstanding chemical, thermal and impact resistance compared to other high performance and engineering plastics. Generally, heavy chain alpha, omega-dicarboxylic acids and omega-aminocarboxylic acids are used under high temperature and pressure conditions such as strong acids (eg sulfuric acid, nitric acid; H2SO4, HNO3), strong oxidizing agents (eg ozone) For example, omega-aminandecdexinic acid can be produced from ricinoleic acid by the addition of hydrogen bromide after ammonia and nucleophilic substitution at high and high pressure. .

Recently, it has been reported that a recombinant microorganism such as recombinant Escherichia coli is used to synthesize a heavy chain fatty acid such as omega-amino undecylic acid and alpha, omega-undecanoic anoxic acid from long chain fatty acids (Korean Patent Publication No. 2013-0132254) . As one example, the C12-hydroxyl group of ricinoleic acid is oxidized to the ester compound via 12-ketooleic acid by treatment with an alcohol dehydrogenase and Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase, The compound is hydrolyzed by esterase to produce n-heptanoic acid and omega-hydroxy undec-9-ioic acid. The resulting omega -hydroxy undec-9-ioic acid is converted to alpha, omega-undecanoic acid by treatment with a reducing enzyme and an alcohol dehydrogenase, or by treatment with an alcohol dehydrogenase and an omega- - < / RTI > amino undecanoic acid. The production of heavy chain fatty acids by using microorganisms has the advantage of reducing the cost and environmental pollution compared with the chemical process. However, due to the high toxicity of the produced heavy chain fatty acid to the microbial catalyst and the complicated bioconversion pathway It has been reported that it is difficult to improve the final concentration and productivity of the target product (Process Biochemistry 49 (2014) 617-622, Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis, 356 (2014) 1782-1786). Studies to increase the productivity of heavy chain fatty acids have been actively conducted to overcome these disadvantages, but they have not achieved much yet.

Under these circumstances, the present inventors have made intensive researches to develop a method for improving the productivity when producing a medium chain fatty acid using microorganisms. As a result, they have found that the biotransformation process using microorganisms does not show cytotoxicity from long chain fatty acids, It has been confirmed that the productivity of the medium chain fatty acid can be improved when the low ester compound is produced and the produced ester compound is subjected to a chemical hydrolysis reaction and an oxidation reaction to produce a medium chain fatty acid, Respectively.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing a heavy chain fatty acid from a long chain fatty acid through a biological conversion process, a chemical hydrolysis reaction and an oxidation reaction.

The present inventors have developed a method for overcoming the disadvantage that the productivity of the medium chain fatty acid is lowered due to the cytotoxicity of the produced heavy chain fatty acid and the complex bioconversion pathway in the bioconversion step of producing the medium chain fatty acid from the long chain fatty acid using microorganisms During the course of the research, we have developed a method to combine the biological conversion process with the chemical method. That is, in the bioconversion process, the ester compounds having low cytotoxicity from microorganisms are produced by a conventional bioconversion process, and the produced ester compounds are applied to a chemical hydrolysis reaction and an oxidation reaction to produce a final product, The ester compound having a low cytotoxicity can be produced with high concentration and high productivity and the ester compound can be converted into a medium chain fatty acid through a relatively simple hydrolysis and oxidation reaction, The results are summarized as follows.

For example, the production of hydroxyundec-9-Ioic acid from ricinoleic acid using a recombinant E. coli catalyzer has been difficult due to the toxicity of the reaction products, resulting in the production of hydroxyendec-9-ioic acid at 20 mM or higher , Productivity was also not as high as 3.2 mM / h (Process Biochemistry 49 (2014) 617-622). However, using the method provided in the present invention, it was possible to produce ester having low toxicity by using recombinant Escherichia coli and to stably produce the final concentration up to 54 mM, and the production rate was 6.6 mM / h in Process Biochemistry (49 (2014) 617 -622) (Examples 1 and 2). ≪ tb >< TABLE >

In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a method for producing a heavy chain fatty acid from a long chain fatty acid through a biological conversion process, a chemical hydrolysis reaction and an oxidation reaction.

Example  1-1: Production of ester compounds using bioconversion

According to a known method (Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2013-0132254), pACYC-ADH, an expression vector containing an alcohol dehydrogenase gene, was introduced into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) to perform primary transformation , And pJOE-BVMO, which is an expression vector containing the BVMO gene, was introduced into the primary transformant thus prepared to prepare a secondary transformant capable of expressing the alcohol dehydrogenase and BVMO.

The thus-prepared secondary transformants were cultured in LB medium (5 g / l yeast extract, 10 g / l tryptone and 10 g / l NaCl) containing ampicillin and chloramphenicol to obtain cultures. Cells were obtained from the cultures and then cultured in a regenberg medium (4 g / l (NH 4 ) 2 HPO 4 , 13.5 g / l KH 2 PO 4 containing 10 g / l glucose and antibiotics (ampicillin and chloramphenicol) , 1.7 g / ℓ of citric acid, 1.4 g / ℓ MgSO 4 and 10 mL / ℓ metal solution (10 g / ℓ FeSO 4, 2.25 g / ℓ ZnSO 4, 1.0 g / ℓ CuSO 4, 0.5 g / ℓ MnSO 4, 0.23 g / ℓ Na 2 B 4 O 7, 2.0 g / ℓ CaCl 2 and 0.1 g / ℓ (NH 4) 6 Mo 7 O 24)) for immunization, and the stirring rate, 35 ℃ of 700 rpm in the incubation temperature and 1vvm Lt; / RTI > for 6 hours.

Then, 15 mM ricinoleic acid and 0.1% Tween 60 were added to the culture, and bioconversion of the ricinoleic acid was performed for 12 hours. In the biotransformation, alcohol dehydrogenase acts on ricinoleic acid (1 in Fig. 1), which is a long chain fatty acid, to form 12-keto octadeca-9-inoic acid (2 in Fig. 1) 1-enoic acid (3 in Fig. 1) by the action of BVMO on the keto-octadec-9-inoic acid (2 in Fig. 1) to be.

After the biotransformation was performed, the ester compound (3 in Fig. 1) was recovered from the cultured secondary transformant. Specifically, the culture transformed with the biotransformation was centrifuged to obtain cells, and the process of extracting the cells with ethylacetate was repeated to obtain an ethyl acetate extract. The ethyl acetate extract was mixed with an aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and then an organic solvent layer was obtained. Sodium sulfate was added to the obtained organic solvent layer, which was filtered and the solvent was evaporated to recover the ester compound.

After the completion of the culture, the concentration of the long chain fatty acid (ricinoleic acid) remaining in the culture medium and the concentration of the keto acid derivative (12-keto octadec-9-enoic acid) and the ester compound ((Z ) -11- (heptanoyloxy) undec-9-enoic acid) was measured by gas chromatography / mass spectrometry (GC / MS).

Approximately, each TMS derivative is obtained by adding TMS (N-methyl-N- (trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide) to the ricinoleic acid, the intermediate compound or the ester compound contained in the culture medium or the ethyl acetate extract, The TMS derivatives were analyzed using an ion trap mass detector (Thermo ITQ1100GC-ion Trap MS, Thermo Scientific) and Thermo Ultra equipped with a non-polar capillary column (30 m length, 0.25 μm film thickness, HP-5MS, Agilent Technologies Palo Alto, Calif. GC system and then measured at a linear temperature gradient (degree of change) of 5 DEG C / min and an injection port temperature of 230 DEG C in the range of 90 to 280 DEG C, and the measured scan spectrum was measured at a range of 100-600 m / z (Fig. 4).

FIG. 4 is a graph showing the results of comparing concentrations of ricinoleic acid, a keto acid derivative, and an ester compound with time in a biological conversion process when an ester compound is produced from ricinoleic acid through a biological conversion process. As shown in FIG. 4, the biotransformation process was performed for 12 hours. As a result, it was confirmed that an ester compound of 11 mM was generated from 15 mM ricinoleic acid to show a bioconversion yield of about 73%.

Example  2-1: Production of ester compounds using bioconversion

According to the method of Example 1-1, the resulting alcohol dehydrogenase and a secondary transformant expressing BVMO were inoculated into a Regenberg medium and cultured. To the resulting culture, 5 mM 10-hydroxystearic acid ( 10-hydroxystearic acid) and 0.5 g / l of Tween 80 were added to the reaction mixture to conduct a bioconversion step. The ester compound 9- (nonanoyloxy) nonanoyloxyacetic acid (9- nonanoic acid. At this time, it was confirmed that 10-keto stearic acid was produced as a keto acid derivative.

Meanwhile, as in Example 1-2, in order to ascertain whether increasing the cell concentration of the transformant can increase the bioconversion yield of the ester compound, it was found that when the secondary transformant was cultured, The cultured cells were cultured at a cell concentration of 3 g or 10 g in terms of dry weight per unit volume (ℓ) of the culture medium, and 10 mM of hydroxystearic acid of 5 mM or 30 mM, respectively, The respective ester compounds were produced and compared using the same method as in Example 1-1 except that the conversion process was performed (Figs. 6A and 6B).

6a shows the result of culturing a second transformant at a cell concentration of 3 g per unit volume (L) of the culture medium, treating the culture with 5 mM of 10-hydroxystearic acid, and performing a biotransformation process for 12 hours FIG. 6B is a graph showing the results of cultivation of a secondary transformant at a cell concentration of 10 g per unit volume of medium (l), followed by treatment with 30 mM 10-hydroxystearic acid in a culture medium and biotransformation step for 15 hours And FIG.

Example 2-2: Production of ester compound using oleic acid

The rate of bioconversion of 10-hydroxystearic acid in Example 2-1 was significantly lower. One of the reasons for this is that 10-hydroxystearic acid is present as a solid powder and is very low in water solubility and is low in the rate of migration into cells. Therefore, bioconversion was performed using oleic acid, which is an unsaturated fatty acid present in a liquid phase, as a substrate in order to increase the rate of biological conversion. Hydroxy fatty acid, 10-hydroxystearic acid, can be produced by treating the oleic acid with a hydrating enzyme. Thus, the expression vector pET-OhyA containing the gene encoding the secondary transformant and the oleosin hydrolase obtained in Example 1-1 was introduced to transform the transformed Escherichia coli capable of expressing the oleosin hydrolase 10-hydroxystearic acid (10-HSA), 10-keto-stearic acid (10-hydroxystearic acid) and the like were added to the culture, (10-KSA) and 9- (nonanoyloxy) nonanoic acid ester were measured (Fig. 7).

FIG. 7 is a graph showing changes in the content of the reaction product with time in the bioconversion process for producing 9- (nonanoyloxy) nonanoic acid from oleic acid by the bioconversion step. FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, oleic acid was consumed at the end of 3 hours, and the content of 10-hydroxystearic acid rapidly increased until 3 hours had elapsed. However, the content of 10-hydroxystearic acid was steadily decreased after that, Acids were detected at the end of 3 hours, but were measured in trace amounts. On the other hand, the content of 9- (nonanoyloxy) nonanoic acid increased steadily after the initiation of the bioconversion process, and it was confirmed that the content was maintained at a constant level after 9 hours had elapsed.

Compared with the result shown in FIG. 6B, when the medium was treated with the same amount of oleic acid or 10-hydroxystearic acid, the production rate of the ester compound was remarkably high when oleic acid was treated Could know.
