The effects of the controlled and uncontrolled pH conditions, as well as of the value of initial pH in the range of 7-7.5, on serine alkaline protease (SAP) production by Bacillus licheniformis were investigated on a defined medium with the single carbon source glucose in batch bioreactors. Besides uncontrolled pH operations, growth phase, production phase, and entire process control strategies were also applied. The concentrations of the product (SAP) and by-products, i.e. neutral protease, amylase, amino acids, and organic acids were determined in addition to SAP activities. For SAP production, uncontrolled pH operation was more favourable than the controlled pH operations; and pH(0) = 7.25 was optimum for SAP production where maximum enzyme activity was obtained as 390 U cm(-3), while, the highest cell concentration was obtained at pH(0) = 7 in uncontrolled operation. Thereafter, by using the experimental data obtained at pH(0) = 7, 7.25 and 7.5 uncontrolled pH operations, perturbation effects of pH on the intracellular flux distributions were investigated for the growth (0 < t < 20 h) and SAP production (20 < t less than or equal to 43 h) periods. In the growth phase the fluxes of the glycolysis pathway and the TCA cycle increased with the increase in pH(0); further, due to the difference in proton electrochemical gradients generated, the lowest and the highest energies were produced at pH(0) = 7 and 7.5 conditions, respectively. In the SAP production period, at pH(0) = 7.5 and 7 the glycolysis pathway fluxes were, respectively, the lowest and the highest. However, the TCA cycle fluxes, amino acid synthesis fluxes and SAP synthesis flux were the highest at pH(0) = 7.25 condition. The diversions in the pathways and certain metabolic reactions and potential strategies for improving SAP production are also discussed. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.

Metabolic flux analysis for serine alkaline protease fermentation by Bacillus licheniformis in a defined medium: Effects of the oxygen transfer rate
Çalık, Pınar; Ozdamar, TH (1999-07-01)
The metabolic fluxes through the central carbon pathways in the bioprocess for serine alkaline protease (SAP) production by Bacillus licheniformis were calculated by the metabolic flux-based stoichiometric model based on the proposed metabolic network that contains 102 metabolites and 133 reaction fluxes using the time profiles of citrate, dry cell, organic acids, amino acids, and SAP as the constraints. The model was solved by minimizing the SAP accumulation rate in the cell, The effects of the oxygen-tran...
Serine alkaline protease overproduction capacity of Bacillus licheniformis
Çalık, Pınar; Ozdamar, TH (2000-01-01)
A comprehensive metabolic network that considers 147 reaction fluxes and 105 metabolites is used in a mass-Aux-balance-based stoichiometric model for Bacillus licheniformis for serine alkaline protease (SAP) overproduction. The theoretical capacity analysis leading to optimized SAP overproduction was carried out by using a linear constrained optimization technique for several specific growth rates and the variation of the fluxes were calculated by fixing the sole carbon source citrate's uptake rate at 10 mm...

The intracellular metabolic fluxes through the central carbon pathways in Bacillus licheniformis in serine alkaline protease (SAP) production were calculated to predict the potential strategies for increasing the performance of the bacilli, by using two optimization approaches, i.e. the theoretical data-based (TDA) and the theoretical data-based capacity (TDC) analyses based on respectively minimum in-vivo SAP accumulation rate and maximum SAP synthesis rate assumptions, at low-, medium, and high-oxygen tra...

The effects of oxygen transfer on the production and product distribution in serine alkaline protease (SAP) fermentation by Bacillus licheniformis and oxygen-transfer strategy in relation to the physiology of the bacilli were investigated on a defined medium with citric acid as sole carbon source in 3.5-dm(3) batch bioreactor systems.
