In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of different co-carbon sources on therapeutically important glycoprotein, recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) production by Pichia pastoris by designing feeding strategies which were applied in the production phase of the bioprocess. During the experiments, the cell growth, sorbitol, mannitol, and methanol consumptions, recombinant human EPO production, alcohol oxidase activity, total protease concentrations and the by-products organic acid concentrations were analyzed. In this context, firstly, laboratory scale air filtered shake bioreactor experiments were performed by P. pastoris Mut+ strain to investigate the effects of mannitol and sorbitol. 50 gL-1 initial concentration of co-substrates was found more affordable and appropriate for cell concentration and recombinant protein production. Thereafter, six pilot scale bioreactor operations were designed and performed. In the first designed strategy (named as SSM strategy), batch-wise 50 g L-1 sorbitol was fed at t=0 h of the production phase and then sorbitol concentration was kept constant at 50 g L-1 by fed-batch feeding with a pre-determined specific growth rate of μSrb0=0.025 h-1 within t=0-15 h of the production phase together with fed-batch methanol feeding with a pre-determined specific growth rate of μM0=0.03 h-1. In the following bioreactor experiments co-substrate mannitol was fed to the system with different feeding strategies together with fed-batch methanol feeding with a pre-determined specific growth rate of μM0=0.03 h-1. In the second strategy (MM), only 40 g L-1 mannitol was added to the system at t=0 h of the production phase. In the third strategy (MMM), after adding 50 g L-1 mannitol at t=0 h, mannitol concentration was kept constant at 50 g L-1 by fed-batch feeding with a pre-determined specific growth rate of μMan0=0.11 h-1 within t=0-9 h of the production phase when the same cell concentration was attained in SSM strategy. In the fourth one (MLM), limiting amount of mannitol, 3 g L-1, was added at t=0 h and then mannitol concentration was kept constant at 3 g L-1 by fed-batch feeding with a pre-determined specific growth rate of μMan0=0.005 h-1 within t=0-10 h of the production phase. After these strategies, several pulses, batch-wise, mannitol feeding strategies were performed. In the fifth strategy (MPM), besides 50 g L-1 initial mannitol feeding at t=0 h, adding second batch-wise mannitol at t=6 h, and third one at t=12 h were applied. In the last strategy (MPMG), four 50 g L-1 pulse feeding of mannitol were performed at t=0 h, 7 h, 14 h, and 24 h, containing glycerol, with an initial concentration in the fermentation medium being 8 g L-1. The highest extracellular rHuEPO production was achieved in the fifth strategy MPM as CrHuEPO=645 mg L-1 at t=9 h while the highest cell concentration was achieved in the first strategy SSM as Cx=109 gL-1 at t=48 h. The overall cell and product yields on total substrate were calculated as YX/St=0.22 g g-1 and YP/St=2.23 mg g-1 in the highest rHuEPO production case.

Feeding strategy development for human growth hormone production by Pichia pastoris
Bozkurt, Bahar; Çalık, Pınar; Özdamar, Tunçer H.; Department of Biotechnology (2012)
In this study, recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) production by Pichia pastoris-Mut+ strain was improved by designing feeding strategies which were applied in the production phase of the bioreactor operations. During the bio-reactor experiments the cell growth, sorbitol and methanol consumptions, recom-binant hGH production, alcohol oxidase (AOX) activity, the by-products protease and organic acid concentrations were followed and analyzed. In this context, in the first part of the study, three bioreact...
Defined and complex medium based feeding strategy development for recombinant human growth hormone production by P. pastoris under GAP promoter
Hoxha, Bebeta; Çalık, Pınar; Özdamar, Tunçer H.; Department of Chemical Engineering (2016)
The objective of this study is to investigate different feeding strategies leading to higher recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) production by Pichia pastoris, driven under constitutive promoter of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene. rhGH production took place in a pilot bioreactor where glucose and molasses were examined as carbon sources. For batch phase, which is the first production phase of the reactor, all experiments share the same characteristics where glycerol was utilized as the...
Effects of ph on human growth hormone production by pichia pastoris considering the expression levels of regulatory genes
Bayraktar, Eda; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2009)
In this study, the aim was to investigate the effects of pH on therapeutically important protein, recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH), production by Pichia pastoris considering the expression levels of regulatory genes. In this frame, firstly the host microorganism was selected between two different methanol utilization phenotypes of P. pastoris, Mut+ and MutS on media containing glycerol/methanol or sorbitol/methanol. The highest rhGH production, 120 g L-1, and hGH gene expression, 9.84x109 copies mg-1...
Effect of signal sequences and promoters in recombinant extracellular protein production by pichia pastoris
Massahi, Aslan; Çalık, Pınar; Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Department of Biotechnology (2017)
The objective of the current research was to develop a recombinant Pichia pastoris (r-P. pastoris) strain having high-performance extracellular recombinant protein production potential. In this context, human growth hormone (rhGH) was considered as model protein, and in the first research programme endogenous secretion signal peptides (SP) for the secretion of rhGH were examined; thereafter, strains having promoters that work under oxygen limitation conditions were developed. At first step, the base plasmid...
Co-substrate mannitol feeding strategy design in semi-batch production of recombinant human erythropoietin production by Pichia pastoris
Eskitoros, Melda S.; Çalık, Pınar (2014-05-01)
BACKGROUND The effects of alternative co-substrate feeding strategies on recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) production by Pichia pastoris-Mut(+) strain were investigated. RESULTS Five different production strategies were designed and performed in the production phase of the bioprocesses with the use of either mannitol or sorbitol as the co-substrate. The highest rHuEPO production was achieved as C-rHuEPO= 0.65 g L-1 at t=9 h, with the cell concentration C-x=55 g L-1 in the production phase; wherein m...
