Abstract:
:Fungal morphology in many filamentous fungal fermentations leads to high broth viscosity which limits oxygen mass transfer, and often results in reduced productivity. The objective in this study was to determine if a simple, fed-batch, process strategy-pulsed addition of limiting-carbon source-could be used to reduce fungal broth viscosity, and increase productivity of an industrially relevant recombinant enzyme (glucoamylase). As a control, three Aspergillus oryzae fed-batch fermentations were carried out with continuous addition of limiting-carbon. To determine the effect of pulse-feeding, three additional fermentations were carried out with limiting-carbon added in 90-second pulses, during repeated five-minute cycles. In both cases, overall carbon feed-rate was used to control dissolved oxygen concentration, such that increased oxygen availability led to increased addition of limiting-carbon. Pulse-fed fermentations were found to have smaller fungal mycelia, lower broth viscosity, and improved oxygen mass transfer. As a result, more carbon was added to pulse-fed fermentations that led to increased enzyme productivity by as much as 75%. This finding has significant implications for the bioprocessing industry, as a simple process modification which is likely to cost very little to implement in most production facilities, has the potential to substantially increase productivity.
