Definitions

  • This invention relates to a process for the continuous or fed batch cultivation of a filamentous microorganism which is controlled to delay or prevent the development of an undesirable variant in the the culture.
  • the invention relates to a process for the production of a proteinaceous product or a metabolite.
  • filamentous microorganisms particularly fermentations for the production of proteinaceous compositions where it is often desirable to produce filamentous microorganisms having only limited hyphal branching.
  • cultivation of a filamentous microorganism can be controlled to delay or prevent the development of an undesirable variant in the culture.
  • microorganism in a culture medium to which are supplied sources of appropriate nutrients including carbon are nutrient source being supplied in an amount limiting to the growth of the culture and constituting a limiting nutrient thereto, wherein development of an unwanted variant of the filamentous microorganism is restricted and/or declared by supplying a first nutrient source to the culture as a limiting nutrient and then changing the nutrients supply to the culture in a manner such that a second nutrient source replaces the first nutrient source as the limiting nutrient.
  • a filamentous microorganism in a culture medium to which are supplied sources of other appropriate nutrients including carbon.
  • One nutrient source being supplied in an amount limiting to the growth of the culture and constituting a limiting nutrient thereto, and separation of the filamentous microrganism from the culture wherein development of an unwanted variant of the filamentous microorganism is restricted and/or delayed by supplying a first nutrient source to the culture as a limiting nutrient and then changing nutrients supply to the culture in a manner such that a second nutrient source replaces the first nutrient source as the limiting nutrient.

  • filamentous microorganism may be used to produce a proteinaceous product by the fermentation process described in GB 1346061; GB 1346062 and EP 123434.
  • Any suitable filamentous microorganism may be cultivated to produce the proteinaceous product, for example strains of the genus Fusarium such as Fusarium graminearum (Schwabe) which is deposited at the Commonwealth Mycological Institute, Kew, under numbers IMI 145425 and CMI CC No 346,762 and strains of Penicillium notatum
  • the invention may also be employed in a fermentation process using for example a streptomycete for example Streptomyces coelicolor to produce a metabolite, for example an antibiotic which may be streptomycin.
  • the limiting nutrients are suitably chosen according to the fermentation and the
  • a single replacement of limiting nutrient may be employed but preferably the process is conducted with a series of replacements of limiting nutrient at intervals throughout its period of
  • the replacements may involve only two nutrient sources as limiting nutrients but preferably the process is conducted with three or more different nutrient sources being used in turn as the limiting nutrient. Preferably the process is operated with a series of three or more nutrient sources being used as limiting nutrient according to a regular cycle.
  • the timing of the replacement of one nutrient source by another as limiting nutrient can be chosen in a variety of ways.
  • the growth of the culture can be monitored and one nutrient source can be replaced by another when the variant whose development is to be controlled has developed to a predetermined extent, eg when it forms at for example 1% of the microorganism cells present in the culture.
  • Suitable nutrient sources for use as limiting nutrient include sources of carbon, for example xylose, maltose, ribose, fructose, sucrose or glucose, magnesium, phosphate and sulphate, and especially if a non nitrogen containing metabolite is to be produced, of nitrogen.
  • the nutrient source used as the limiting nutrient in any cycle of replacements is not a nutrient which is of primary importance in producing the product of the process such as the nitrogen source in a process for producing a proteinaceous product.
  • Strategies involving changing the carbon source as the growth limiting nutrient may be adopted especially between glucose and fructose.
  • Suitable strategies for altering the limiting nutrient include the following, designed primarily for use in a process for the production of a proteinaceous product by cultivation of a Fusarium strain:- a) a strategy in which the culture is regularly monitored and the limiting nutrient is altered when there is an indication that the microorganism population in the culture has begun to alter unfavourably due to the formation of an undesirable variant.
  • three different nutrient sources may be used alternatively as the limiting nutrient as follows:- 1.
  • Carbon source eg glucose
  • a preferred strategy for general use in the process of the invention is to alter the nutrient limitation at regular 7 day intervals starting with an initially carbon limited chemostat.
  • the cycle is suitably as follows:- 1. Carbon source
  • a cycle of limiting nutrients repeated throughout the process is a preferred strategy in many instances. It is preferred that the proposed limiting nutrients is not important for the production of the product of the process. It would not for example be a preferred strategy for the production of an antibiotic which sequences sulphate in its synthesis to use sulphate as a limiting nutrient.
  • the dilution rate is suitably decreased, eg by an amount in the range 0.05 to 0.10 hr -1 , in order to remove any undesirable variant from the microorganism population more effectively.
  • Figure 1 shows the CCI-1 variant which was first detected after ⁇ 100 generations arising spontaneously in an A 3/5 continuous culture during a glucose-limited fermentation of A 3/5. After a further 100 generations approximately, CCI-1 made up > 90% of the total population.
  • FIG. 2 shows that CCI-1 had a selection coefficient (S) of -0.039 generation under magnesium-limitation.
  • Figure 3 shows CCI-1 remained approximately constant when grown in ammonia-limited culture.
  • Figure 4 shows CCI-1 remained approximately constant when grown in sulphate-limited chemostat culture.
  • D 0.16h -1
  • Figure 6 shows how CCI-1 takeover can be prevented.
  • the culture is under glucose-limitation and CCI-1 begins to supplant the wildtype.
  • the culture was switched to magnesium-limitation and the increase in CCI-1 was halted.
  • the dotted line shows predicted increase of CCI-1 if glucose-limitation had been maintained.
  • compositions of the relevant Vogels media used are shown in the Table below.
  • CCI-1 can be controlled and in some cases reduced by sulphate or magnesium limitation conditions and stabilised under nitrogen limitation conditions. This indicates that by monitoring the variants present and altering the growth limitation conditions appropriately when their population is low it is possible to delay the need to close a manufacturing process down because unwanted organisms have overwhelmed the wanted organisms.
  • Apparatus A commercially available continuous fermenter with air and nutrient feed facilities sold by Braun under the trade name Biostat M. (2 litre)
  • antifoam 0.25% (v/v) polypropylene glycol (mixed molecular weight)
  • stirrer speed 1400 rpm
  • biomass approximately 2g dry weight 1 culture medium (for all limitations).
  • Assessment of population composition composition of the population was assessed by making viable counts on agar solidified Vogel's medium. Samples from the fermenter were diluted in sterile distilled water and 0.1 ml of the suspension were spread on 10-15 agar plates to yield 20-60 colonies per plate. Colony forming units (derived from either mycelial fragments or spores) were counted after 72h incubation at 25°C. Colonial mutant colonies could be distinguished from wild-type colonies because they formed dense colonies which increased slowly in diameter and they were counted separately from the wild-type colonies. Viable counts were made at approximately 24 or 48 h intervals.
  • Limiting nutrient stock solutions were prepared as shown in the table. These were limited in one particular nutrient. When switching to a different limiting nutrient a 1-48 hr time interval was required for the levels of the particular nutrient to be reduced as desired in the fermenter vessel, as the nutrient would have been in excess under the previous set of conditions.
  • This procedure keeps the colonial mutant population at below critical levels for a prolonged period.
  • a) is the preferable strategy, but if the process precludes several types of limitation (such as not limiting the nitrogen source in a process producing protein, as not limiting for sulphate in the production of an antibiotic which requires sulphate in its synthesis) then it may be necessary to follow the type of strategy suggested in b).

Abstract

Procédé de culture continue d'un microorganisme filamenteux dans un milieu de culture alimenté en sources de carbone et d'autres agents nutritifs appropriés. L'alimentation en source de carbone ou d'un autre agent nutritif s'effectue en fonction d'une quantité se limitant à la croissance de la culture et constitue un agent nutritif restrictif pour ladite culture. De ce fait, on limite ou on retarde l'apparition d'une variante indésirable du microorganisme filamenteux au moyen de l'apport d'une première source nutritive à la culture en tant qu'agent nutritif restrictif, ainsi qu'au moyen de la modification de l'apport nutritif à ladite culture, de façon qu'une deuxième source nutritive remplace la première source nutritive en tant qu'agent nutritif restrictif.
