Production of Superoxide Dismutase from Streptococcus lactis Using a Bioreactor with a Microfiltration Module(Microbiology & Fermentation Industry)

概要

論文の詳細を見る
The performance of a bioreactor with a microfiltration module for the production of an intracellular enzyme, superoxide dismutase (SOD), by Streptococcus lactis is described. The fermentation system involving the bioreactor enables the continuous removal of metabolites inhibitory for cell growth and the complete recycling of the cells to the bioreactor. In a fed-batch (FB) culture with filtration, in which the main metabolite, lactic acid, in the culture broth was maintained at a low concentration, S. lactis was cultivated to the high concentration of 15.5 g-dry cells/l. The SOD content of the cells remained at almost a constant level throughout the cultivation and the productivity of SOD as well as cells per unit time was 4.3-fold as high as that in the case of a conventional batch culture without filtration. Repeating the FB culture with filtration enhanced the productivities of SOD and cells further, as compared with those in the case of the FB culture with filtration.
