Impact of methanol concentration on secreted protein production in oxygen-limited cultures of recombinant Pichia pastoris

The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris is a powerful system for production of recombinant proteins, showing high ability to secrete properly folded proteins. A major plus is the strong AOX1 promoter highly induced by methanol. During growth on methanol, however, oxygen readily becomes limiting. In oxygen-limited cultivations of recombinant Pichia pastoris, the methanol concentration had a strong impact on the production of a single-chain antibody fragment (scFv). High methanol concentrations were required to compensate the lack of oxygen and fully induce recombinant protein production, at the same time reducing gratuitous biomass formation due to a lower biomass yield. Product concentrations of 60, 150, and 350 mg/L were obtained with methanol concentrations of 0.3, 1, and 3% (v/v). Moreover, accumulation of a putative product fragment that cannot be removed during affinity purification was prevented at high methanol concentrations. Cell vitality after 100 h was maintained above 98% and 96% of the culture with 0.3% and 3% methanol, respectively. In cultivations supplemented with oxygen, in contrast, methanol concentration between 0.3% and 3% did not influence the product yield of 300-400 mg/L. Thus, efficient recombinant protein production under oxygen-limitation seems to require high methanol concentrations, enabling product concentration as high as otherwise obtained only with expensive supply of pure oxygen.

Production of uridine 5′-monophosphate by Corynebacterium ammoniagenes ATCC 6872 using a statistically improved biocatalytic process

Attempts were made with success to develop a two-step biocatalytic process for uridine 5′-monophosphate (UMP) production from orotic acid by Corynebacterium ammoniagenes ATCC 6872: the strain was first cultivated in a high salt mineral medium, and then cells were harvested and used as the catalyst in the UMP production reaction. Effects of cultivation and reaction conditions on UMP production were investigated. The cells exhibited the highest biocatalytic ability when cultivated in a medium containing corn steep liquor at pH 7.0 for 15 h in the exponential phase of growth. To optimize the reaction, both “one-factor-at-a-time” method and statistical method were performed. By “one-factor-at-a-time” optimization, orotic acid, glucose, phosphate ion (equimolar KH₂PO₄ and K₂HPO₄), MgCl₂, Triton X-100 were shown to be the optimum components for the biocatalytic reaction. Phosphate ion and C. ammoniagenes cell were furthermore demonstrated as the most important main effects on UMP production by Plackett–Burman design, indicating that 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) synthesis was the rate-limiting step for pyrimidine nucleotides production. Optimization by a central composition design (CCD) was then performed, and up to 32 mM (10.4 g l⁻¹) UMP was accumulated in 24 h from 38.5 mM (6 g l⁻¹) orotic acid. The yield was threefold higher than the original UMP yield before optimization.
