Application of the saleâdown methodology to study the effect of mixing on Trichoderma reesei physiology and enzyme production
International audienceIn this study, the effect of oxygen oscillations on enzyme production has been investigated during cultures of T. reesei. By using 2 bioreactors a decrease of 20% in the specific production rate and yield for long-time cycling exposure to anaerobic conditions (15 min) was observed, whereas a short cycle of anaerobiosis (3-4 min) was sufficient by using 1 bioreactor. Our results indicate the sensitivity of T. reesei to anaerobiosis and the fact that the metabolic response is complex and not immediate because it depends on the distribution of the residence times of the microorganisms in the aerated or nonâaerated zones
Mitigation of hydrodynamics related stress in bioreactors: a key for the scale-up of enzyme production by filamentous fungi
International audienceDifferent impellers and stirring conditions are compared at the bench scale in order to identify the relevant hydrodynamic stress parameter that correlates best with the process characteristics, morphology, broth rheology and growth rate as measured during the culture of the filamentous fungi, T. reesei, used for the production of cellulases. A modified Energy Dissipation Circulation Function (EDCF) was the most relevant stress parameter, and its use is validated to predict fairly accurately the same process characteristics in an industrial bioreactor, as well as enzyme production. The results are of great importance for the scale-up of cellulase production for bioethanol manufacture from lignocellulosic biomass

Viability and Acidification Activity of Pure and Mixed Starters of Streptococcus salivarius ssp. thermophilus 404 and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus 398 at the Different Steps of Their Production
Comparison of growth, acidification and productivity of pure and mixed cultures of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus 404 and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp bulgaricus 398
International audiencePure and mixed controlled-pH batch cultures of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus 404 and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus 398 have been conducted. The characteristics of growth and acidification and the productivity of the cultures were compared. During the mixed cultures, the growth characteristics revealed a pronounced stimulation of S. thermophilus whereas L. bulgaricus metabolism was not significantly improved. The final total population was 1.4 to 4.9 higher than in pure cultures. The acidification characteristics were not enhanced by the mixed culture conditions. The productivity of mixed cultures was 1.7 to 2.4 times higher as compared to an equivalent mixing of pure cultures
