The invention belongs to the technical field of
fermentation, particularly relates to a method for preparing L-
amino acid, and more particularly to a method for preparing L-
amino acid by fermenting a cotton stalk
hydrolysate. The method comprises the steps of inoculating
fermentation strains for producing L-
amino acid into a seed culture medium, and culturing to obtain seed solution, and then transferring the seed solution into a
fermentation culture medium using the cotton stalk
hydrolysate for replacing glucose as a
carbon source, and fermenting. Compared with the prior art, the L-amino acid yield and conversion rate of using the cotton stalk
hydrolysate as the
carbon source for performing fermentation culture in the fermentation culture medium can achieve a level as the same as the level of fermentation using glucose as the
carbon source; on one hand,by using the cotton stalk hydrolysate for replacing glucose as the carbon source, the problem of resource shortage can be alleviated, and moreover, a new way is opened up for
resource utilization for cotton stalks, cyclic utilization for waste resources can be realized, and
ecological environment can be protected, on the other hand, cotton stalks are agricultural wastes, low in cost, capable of effectively reducing production cost for L-amino acid, and good in industrialized application prospect.
