Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the production of enzymes by a filamentous fungus, in particular enzymes of the cellulase type (cellulolytics and / or hemicellulolytics), which are necessary for the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass.
  • enzymes of the cellulase type cellulolytics and / or hemicellulolytics
  • This enzymatic hydrolysis is implemented for example in the so-called second generation (2G) production processes of biofuels such as bioethanol, or to produce sweet juices which can be used to produce other products chemically or biochemically.
  • fermentation for example, alcohols such as ethanol, butanol, propanol, isopropanol or other molecules, for example solvents such as acetone and other bio-based molecules
  • solvents such as acetone and other bio-based molecules
  • Trichoderma reesei is the most widely used microorganism for the production of cellulases on an industrial scale. Wild strains have the ability to excrete, in the presence of an inducing substrate, cellulose for example, an enzyme complex considered to be well suited to the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass.
  • the enzymes in the enzyme complex contain three main types depending on their activity: endoglucanases, exoglucanases and cellobiases.
  • Other proteins having properties essential for the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials are also produced by Trichoderma reesei, xylanases for example.
  • an inducing substrate is essential for the expression of cellulolytic and / or hemicellulolytic enzymes.
  • the nature of the carbon substrate has a strong influence on the composition of the enzyme complex. This is the case with xylose, which, associated with a carbon-inducing substrate such as cellulose or lactose, makes it possible to significantly improve the so-called xylanase activity.
  • xylose which, associated with a carbon-inducing substrate such as cellulose or lactose, makes it possible to significantly improve the so-called xylanase activity.
  • the regulation of cellulase genes on different carbon sources has been studied in detail. They are induced in the presence of cellulose, its hydrolysis products (example: cellobiose) or certain oligosaccharides such as lactose or sophorose (llmen et al., 1997; Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 63: 1298-1306).
  • soluble carbon sources such as glucose, xylose or lactose
  • lactose also playing the role of an inducing substrate.
  • Other soluble sugars such as cellobiose and sophorose have been described as inducers, but they may be considered too expensive to be used on an industrial scale.
  • a growth stage in "batch" mode where it is necessary to provide a source of carbon that can be quickly assimilated for the growth of Trichoderma reesei.
  • This phase is characterized by an increase in the viscosity of the medium, as well as by a high demand for oxygen.
  • a production step in "fed-batch” mode using an inducing substrate for example lactose which allows the expression of cellulases and secretion in the culture centre.
  • the optimal flow applied is between 35 and 45 mg (of sugar) .g (of dry cell weight) 1 .h 1 .
  • This phase is characterized by a drop in the viscosity of the medium and a lower oxygen demand.
  • Protein productivity is equal to the product between the concentration of living biomass and the specific rate of protein production. This productivity can be increased by increasing the production performance of the strain (increase in specific speed) and / or by increasing the concentration of cellular biomass. But the methods to improve the performance of the strains, by genetically modifying them as mentioned above, may end up reaching their limits, and increasing the biomass concentration results in a sharp increase in viscosity, which limits oxygen transfer, especially at the end of the growth stage.
  • the production stages proposed in the prior art are carried out in agitated tanks, the growth and production stages being carried out in the same bioreactor. It is an interesting solution because compact in terms of industrial installation, but not necessarily the best solution, because the two stages, growth and production, do not require the same needs, for example in terms of means of agitation or in terms of oxygen transfer: the bioreactor must therefore have the volume and all the equipment and operating means enabling it to carry out all of these two stages, however taking place under very different conditions.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to propose an improved process for the production of enzymes of the cellulase type from filamentous fungus strains, in particular a process which makes it possible to obtain increased productivity of enzymes, and, incidentally, which can be implemented on an industrial scale in installations allowing more flexibility.
  • the present invention relates to a process for the production of enzymes by a strain belonging to a filamentous fungus, said process comprising three stages:
  • step (c) a third step of producing enzymes from the diluted culture medium obtained in the second step (b), in the presence of at least one inducing carbon substrate, in the fed-batch phase.
  • the invention includes such a method, where step (b) can start (a little) before the end of step (a) or end (a little) after the start of step (c).
  • the invention therefore includes such a method, with an implementation in which steps (a) and (b) on the one hand, and steps (b) and (c) on the other hand can partially overlap.
  • the dilution stage (b) can last several hours, and it may therefore be advantageous to start it between 0 and 4 hours before the end of stage (a), and / or to finish it between 0 and 4 hours after going to step (c).
  • the invention has thus developed a new fermentation line, with an intermediate dilution stage between the growth stage and the production stage. Surprisingly, it turned out that the specific productivities obtained after diluting the culture medium at the end of the growth phase are significantly higher than those obtained with the culture medium without dilution (l 'increase of up to 30% and more), and this for the same specific flux of carbonaceous substrate (calculated relative to the mass of biomass in the reactors).
  • the third production stage (c) is carried out in a bubble column:
  • the invention also judiciously exploits the idea that the growth and production stages do not have the same needs , do not have the same operating mode, in particular in terms of agitation and oxygen transfer, and that it is therefore more relevant to carry out these stages in two different fermenters:
  • the production of biomass can take place in good conditions in a stirred tank, preferably targeting a high biomass concentration (for example greater than or equal to 20 g / L).
  • agitated bioreactor has the same meaning as “agitated tank”.
  • the second stage (b) of dilution is carried out in the bioreactor at the end of the stage (a) of mushroom growth and / or in the bubble column before or at the start of the third stage (c) of production. enzymes.
  • the dilution step which therefore leads to lowering the viscosity of the culture medium, can thus be carried out in one or the other of the reactors, or even online during the transfer. from the first reactor to the second reactor. It may be preferable to carry out the dilution in the agitated tank, so as to facilitate the transfer of the medium, already diluted, from the agitated tank to the bubble column.

  • a concentrated culture medium is thus obtained, which will then be diluted to proceed with production.
  • the method of the invention can be implemented with a number n of agitated and aerated bioreactors and a number m of bubble columns, with n less than or equal to m, a bubble column being able to be connected fluidly to many bioreactors or vice versa. It is possible to have bubble columns of much larger capacity than agitated bioreactors, which allows several agitated bioreactors to feed a single bubble column for example, and to take into account that the step of growth is faster than the production stage.
  • the carbonaceous growth substrate is chosen from at least one of the following compounds: lactose, glucose, xylose, the residues obtained after ethanolic fermentation of the monomeric sugars of the enzymatic hydrolysates of cellulosic biomass, a crude extract of water-soluble pentoses from pretreatment of cellulosic biomass.
