Production of carbonyl reductase by Metschnikowia koreensis

A new strain of the yeast Metschnikowia koreensis was grown in shake flasks and a stirred bioreactor for the production of carbonyl reductase. The optimal conditions in the bioreactor for maximizing the biomass specific activity of the enzyme were found to be: a medium composed of glucose (20 g/L), peptone (5 g/L), yeast extract (5 g/L) and zinc sulfate (0.3g/L); the pH controlled at 7; the temperature controlled at 25 °C; an agitation speed of 500 rpm; and an aeration rate of 0.25 vvm. In the bioreactor, a biomass specific enzyme activity of 115.6 U/gDCW was obtained and the maximum biomass concentration was 15.3 gDCW/L. The biomass specific enzyme activity obtained in the optimized bioreactor culture was 11-fold higher than the best result achieved in shake flasks. The bioreactor culture afforded a 2.7-fold higher biomass concentration than could be attained in shake flasks.     

Optimization of carbon and nitrogen sources in the medium and environmental factors for enhanced production of chitinase by Trichoderma harzianum

Statistical design was used to determine the optimal levels of medium components, the optimal initial pH of the enzyme production medium, the temperature of fermentation, age of the organism in the slant growth and the age of the inoculum for the production of chitinase in shake flask fermentations. The use of high concentrations of chitin and ammonium sulphate and exclusion of peptone and urea from the medium resulted in the production of higher level of the enzyme. The optimal concentrations of the medium components were 12.5 kg/m³ and 4.2 kg/m³ for the chitin and ammonium sulphate respectively. The effect of the addition of peptone and urea to the optimized medium was studied. The optimal values of initial pH and temperature were 5.6 and 28 °C respectively. The optimal age of the slant and the inoculum were found to be 105 h and 43 h respectively. The highest level of chitinase before optimization of the above variables was 0.054 U which was maximized to the level of 0.197 U.

Improved mannan-degrading enzymes' production by Aspergillus niger through medium optimization

The effect of different carbon and nitrogen sources on the production of mannan-degrading enzymes, focussing on β-mannanase, by Aspergillus niger was investigated using shake flask culture. The β-mannanase activity obtained during growth of A. niger on guar gum (GG, 1495 nkat mL(-1)) was much higher than those observed on other carbon substrates, locust bean gum (1148 nkat mL(-1)), α-cellulose (10.7 nkat mL(-1)), glucose (8.8 nkat mL(-1)) and carboxymethylcellulose (4.6 nkat mL(-1)). For fermentation using GG as a carbon source, bacteriological peptone gave the highest β-mannanase activity (1744 nkat mL(-1)) followed by peptone from meat (1168 nkat mL(-1)), yeast extract (817 nkat mL(-1)), ammonium sulphate (241 nkat mL(-1)), ammonium nitrate (113 nkat mL(-1)) and ammonium chloride (99 nkat mL(-1)) when used as a nitrogen source. The composition of bacteriological peptone and initial pH of the medium were further optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). Medium consisted of 21.3 g L(-1) GG and 57 g L(-1) peptone with initial culture pH of 5.5 was optimum for β-mannanase production (2063 nkat mL(-1)) by A. niger. The β-mannanase production obtained in this study using A. niger was significantly higher than those reported in the literature.     

Optimisation of growth medium for the production of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase from Bacillus stearothermophilus HR1 using response surface methodology

Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) activity was observed when the bacterium was grown in the medium at various initial pH values, containing carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and mineral salt sources at 50 °C for 24 h in the shake flasks. The optimisation of this growth medium was carried out using response surface methodology. The design contains a total of 32 experimental trials involving 10 star points and 6 replicates at the centre points. The design was employed by selecting sago starch, peptone from casein, K₂HPO₄, CaCl₂ and initial pH as five independent variables in this study. The optimal calculated values of tested variables for maximal production of CGTase were found to be comprised of: sago starch, 16.02 g/l; peptone from casein, 20 g/l; K₂HPO₄, 1.4 g/l; CaCl₂, 0.2 g/l and initial pH, 7.54 with a predicted CGTase activity of 14.20 U/ml. These predicted optimal parameters were tested in the laboratory and the final CGTase activity obtained was very close to the predicted value at 14.80 U/ml.     

Is an organic nitrogen source needed for cellulase production by Trichoderma reesei Rut-C30?

The effect of organic and inorganic nitrogen sources on Trichoderma reesei Rut-C30 cellulase production was investigated in submerged cultivations. Stirred tank bioreactors and shake flasks, with and without pH control, respectively, were employed. The experimental design involved the addition of individual organic nitrogen sources (soy peptone, glutamate, glycine and alanine) within a basal medium containing Avicel (i.e. micro crystalline cellulose) and ammonium sulphate. It was found that in the shake flask experiments, the highest cellulase activities (~0.1 ± 0.02 FPU ml^?1) were obtained with media containing soy peptone (3–6 g l^?1) and glutamate (3.6 g l^?1). However, these improvements in the cellulase titers in the presence of the organic nitrogen sources appeared to be related to smaller changes in the pH of the medium. This was confirmed using stirred tank bioreactors with pH control. No significant differences were observed in the highest cellulase titers and the protein pattern (according to the SDS-PAGE) of supernatants from pH controlled stirred tank bioreactor cultivations, when different nitrogen sources were used in the medium. Here the cellulase activities (~1.0 ± 0.2 FPU ml^?1) were also much greater (8–150 times) than in shake flask cultivation. Consequently, the addition of ammonium sulphate as sole nitrogen source to Avicel basal medium is recommended when performing cultivations in stirred tank bioreactors with strict pH controlled conditions.     

Biocatalytic potential of protease-resistant phytase of Aspergillus oryzae SBS50 in ameliorating food nutrition

Production of protease-resistant phytase by Aspergillus oryzae SBS50 was optimized in solid state fermentation using wheat bran as substrate. An integrated statistical optimization approach involving the Placket–Burman design followed by response surface methodology was employed. Among all the variables tested, incubation period, triton X-100, moisture ratio, and magnesium sulphate were identified as significant and further optimized using response surface methodology that resulted in 3.35-fold improvement in phytase production from 55.43 to 185.75 U/g dry mouldy bran (DMB). Optimal conditions for maximum phytase production (185.75 U/g DMB) included wheat bran 10 g per 250 ml flask moistened with 35 ml distilled water supplemented with 3.0% triton X-100, 0.04% magnesium sulphate, 1.0% sucrose and 0.5% yeast extract incubated at 30?°C for an incubation time of 48 h. Phytase titers were sustainable (179.55 to 185.75 U/g DMB), when the mould was grown in shake flasks of varied volumes and enamel-coated metallic trays under optimized conditions. Fermentation time was reduced to half from 96 h to 48 h after optimization resulting in a 6.7-fold enhancement in the phytase productivity from 577.39 to 3868.75 U/Kg/h and thus, reducing the cost of enzyme production. Phytase released inorganic phosphate, reducing sugars and soluble proteins from different food samples in a time dependent manner as a result of phytate hydrolysis.     

Optimization of culture variables for improving glucoamylase production by alginate-entrapped Thermomucor indicae-seudaticae using statistical methods

Alginate-entrapped sporangiospores of Thermomucor indicae-seudaticae were used for the production of glucoamylase. The critical variables that affected glucoamylase production were identified by Plackett-Burman design (sucrose, yeast-extract, K(2)HPO(4) and asparagine) and further optimized by using a four factor central composite design (CCD) of response surface methodology (RSM). Immobilized sporangiospores secreted 41% and 60% higher glucoamylase titers in shake flasks and airlift fermenter, respectively, when the variables were used at their optimum levels (sucrose 3.0%, yeast-extract 0.2%, K(2)HPO(4) 0.1% and asparagine 0.35%). Glucoamylase production (26.3 U ml(-1)) in the optimized medium was in good agreement with the values predicted by the quadratic model (26.7 U ml(-1)), thereby confirming its validity. The enzyme production was sustainable in flasks of higher volume and also airlift fermenter, and attained a peak within 32 h in the fermenter as compared to that of 48 h in shake flasks.

Improving production of hyperthermostable and high maltose-forming alpha-amylase by an extreme thermophile Geobacillus thermoleovorans using response surface methodology and its applications

By cultivating Geobacillus thermoleovorans in shake flasks containing cane molasses medium at 70 degrees C, the fermentation variables were optimized by 'one variable at a time' approach followed by response surface methodology (RSM). The statistical model was obtained by central composite design (CCD) using three variables (cane-molasses, urea and inoculum density). An overall 1.6- and 2.1-fold increase in enzyme production was achieved in the optimized medium in shake flasks and fermenter, respectively. The alpha-amylase titre increased significantly in cane-molasses medium (60 U ml(-1)) as compared to that in the synthetic medium (26 U ml(-1)). Thus the cost of enzyme produced in cane molasses medium (0.823 euros per million U) was much lower than that produced in the synthetic starch-yeast extract-tryptone medium (18.52 euros per million U). The shelf life of bread was improved by supplementing dough with alpha-amylase, and thus, the enzyme was found to be useful in preventing the staling of bread. Reducing sugars liberated from 20% and 30% raw pearl millet starch were fermented to ethanol; ethanol production levels attained were 35.40 and 28.0 g l(-1), respectively.     

Effects of cultivation conditions on the production of heterologous α-galactosidase by Kluyveromyces lactis

Growth conditions relevant for the large-scale production of heterologous proteins with yeasts were studied on a laboratory scale. A strain of Kluyveromyces lactis, containing 15 copies of an expression cassette encoding guar -galactosidase integrated into its ribosomal DNA, was used as a model. By using urea as a nitrogen source, it was possible to produce active extracellular -galactosidase in shake-flask cultures grown on a defined mineral medium. Inclusion of urea instead of ammonium sulphate prevented unwanted acidification of cultures. With urea-containing mineral medium, enzyme production in shake flasks was comparable to that in complex media containing peptone. In contrast, the presence of peptone was required to achieve high productivity in chemostat cultures. The low productivity in chemostat cultures growing on mineral media was not due to loss oft the expression cassette, since addition of peptone to such cultures resulted in an immediate high rate of -galactosidase production. The discrepancy between the behaviour of shake-flask and chemostat cultures during growth on mineral medium illustrates the necessity of physiological studies for the scalling-up of heterologous protein production from laboratory to production scale.

Use of response surface methodology to optimize culture medium for production of lipase with Candida sp. 99-125

Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize culture medium for production of lipase with Candida sp. 99-125. In the first step, a Plackett–Burmen design was used to evaluate the effects of different components in the culture medium. Soybean oil, soybean powder and K₂HPO₄ have significant influences on the lipase production. The concentrations of three factors were optimized subsequently using central composite designs and response surface analysis. The optimized condition allowed the production of lipase to be increased from 5000 to 6230 IU/ml in shake flask system. The lipase fermentation in 5 l fermenter reached 9600 IU/ml.     

Scale-up from shake flasks to fermenters in batch and continuous mode with Corynebacterium glutamicum on lactic acid based on oxygen transfer and pH

Scale-up from shake flasks to fermenters has been hampered by the lack of knowledge concerning the influence of operating conditions on mass transfer, hydromechanics, and power input. However, in recent years the properties of shake flasks have been described with empirical models. A practical scale-up strategy for everyday use is introduced for the scale-up of aerobic cultures from shake flasks to fermenters in batch and continuous mode. The strategy is based on empirical correlations of the volumetric mass transfer coefficient (k(L) a) and the pH. The accuracy of the empirical k(L) a correlations and the assumptions required to use these correlations for an arbitrary biological medium are discussed. To determine the optimal pH of the culture medium a simple laboratory method based on titration curves of the medium and a mechanistic pH model, which is solely based on the medium composition, is applied. The effectiveness of the scale-up strategy is demonstrated by comparing the behavior of Corynebacterium glutamicum on lactic acid in shake flasks and fermenters in batch and continuous mode. The maximum growth rate (micro(max) = 0.32 h(-1)) and the oxygen substrate coefficient (Y O2 /S= 0.0174 mol/l) of C. glutamicum on lactic acid were equal for shake flask, fermenter, batch, and continuous cultures. The biomass substrate yield was independent of the scale, but was lower in batch cultures (Y(X/S) = 0.36 g/g) than in continuous cultures (Y(X/S) = 0.45 g/g). The experimental data (biomass, respiration, pH) could be described with a simple biological model combined with a mechanistic pH model.     

Coordinate production of cephamycin c and clavulanic acid by Streptomyces clavuligerus

Production of cephamycin c and clavulanic acid by Streptomyces clavuligerus was investigated using different media in shake flask condition. Highest cell growth (3.8 g/L) was observed in glycerol, sucrose, proline and glutamic acid (GSPG) medium. Although, GSPG medium supported maximum growth, it was least effective for the synthesis of both cephamycin and clavulanic acid. Yield of cephamycin and clavulanic acid was maximum in dextrin and K medium, respectively. High and low level of constituents of dextrin medium, affected production of both cephamycin and clavulanic acid. Biosynthesis of clavulanic acid was associated with production of cephamycin c.

Optimizing the medium components in bioemulsifiers production by Candida lipolytica with response surface method

A response surface methodology was used to study bioemulsifier production by Candida lipolytica. A 2(4) full experimental design was previously carried out to investigate the effects and interactions of the concentrations of corn oil, urea, ammonium sulfate, and potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate on the emulsification activity (EA) of the bioemulsifier produced by C. lipolytica. The best EA value (3.727 units of emulsification activity (UEA)) was obtained with a medium composed of 0.4 g of urea, 1.1 g of ammonium sulfate, 2.04 g of potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate, 5 mL of corn oil, 50 mL of distilled water, and 50 mL of seawater. A curvature check was performed and revealed a lack of fit of the linear approximation. The proximity of the optimum point was evident, as was the need for quadratic model and second-order designs that incorporate the effect of the curvature. Medium constituents were then optimized for the EA using a three-factor central composite design and response surface methodology. The second-order model showed statistical significance and predictive ability. It was found that the maximum EA produced was 4.415 UEA, and the optimum levels of urea, ammonium sulfate, and potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate were, respectively, 0.544% (m/v), 2.131% (m/v), and 2.628% (m/v).
