摘要：In this study, the role of CaCO3 in n-butanol production was further investigated using corn straw hydrolysate (CSH) media by Clostridium acetobutylicum CICC 8016. CaCO3 addition stimulated sugars utilization and butanol production. Further study showed that calcium salts addition to CSH media led to the increase in Ca2 concentration both intracellularly and extracellularly. Interestingly, without calcium salts addition, intracellular Ca2 concentration in the synthetic P2 medium was much higher than that in the CSH medium despite the lower extracellular Ca2 concentrations in the P2 medium. These results indicated that without additional calcium salts, Ca2 uptake by C. acetobutylicum CICC 8016 in the CSH medium may be inhibited by non-sugar biomass degradation compounds, such as furans, phenolics and organic acids. Comparative proteomics analysis results showed that most enzymes involved in glycolysis, redox balance and amino acids metabolism were up-regulated with CaCO3 addition. This study provides further insights into the role of CaCO3 in n-butanol production using real biomass hydrolysate.
