A chemically defined medium was optimized for the maximum biomass production of recombinant Pichia pastoris in the fermentor cultures using glycerol as the sole carbon source. Optimization was done using the statistical methods for getting the optimal level of salts, trace metals and vitamins for the growth of recombinant P. pastoris. The response surface methodology was effective in optimizing nutritional requirements using the limited number of experiments. The optimum medium composition was found to be 20 g/L glycerol, 7.5 g/L (NH4)(2)SO4, 1 g/L MgSO4 center dot 7H(2)O, 8.5 g/L KH2PO4, 1.5 mL/L vitamin solution and 20 mL/L trace metal solution. Using the optimized medium 11.25 g DCW/L biomass was produced giving a yield coefficient of 0.55 g biomass/g of glycerol in a batch culture. Chemostat cultivation of recombinant P. pastoris was done in the optimized medium at different dilution rates to determine the kinetic parameters for growth on glycerol. Maximum specific growth rate of 0.23 h(-1) and Monod saturation constant of 0.178 g/L were determined by applying Monod model on the steady state data. Products of fermentation pathway, ethanol and acetate, were not detected by HPLC even at higher dilution rates. This supports the notion that P. pastoris cells grow on glycerol by a respiratory route and are therefore an efficient biomass and protein producers. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
