  • Publication number: 20230303991
    Abstract: The invention relates to the various uses of a fungus strain which belongs to the Trichoderma genus and in which the cel1a gene has been knocked out. The invention relates in particular to a method of producing proteins by a fungus strain which belongs to the Trichoderma genus and in which the cel1a gene has been knocked out, comprising at least two steps: a first step of growth in a batch phase in the presence of at least one carbon growth substrate, and a second step of producing proteins in a fed-batch phase in the presence of a composition comprising at least lactose and a second sugar, the lactose content in the composition representing approximately between 0 and 30% by weight of the total sugar content of the composition, in particular between 5 and 30%.

  • Publication number: 20220017933
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a process for producing enzymes by a strain belonging to a filamentous fungus, said process comprising two steps: (a) a first step of growing the fungi, in the presence of at least one carbon-based growth substrate, in a stirred and aerated bioreactor in batch phase, at a pH of not more than 4.6; (b) a second step of producing enzymes, starting from the culture medium obtained in the first step (a), in the presence of at least one inductive carbon-based substrate, at a pH of not more than 4.6.

  • Patent number: 10214734
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of an enzymatic cocktail from a cellulolytic microorganism producing cellulases and/or hemi-cellulases, comprising: a step for the production of enzymes with a medium being obtained containing enzymes and a microorganism must, said must is separated, or not separated, from the liquid containing said enzymes, a step of cooling said must to a temperature below the temperature of the enzyme production step and for a time such that the beta-glucosidase concentration of the liquid originating from the cooling step is greater than that of the liquid originating from the enzyme production step, and/or the solid volume/total volume ratio is less than said ratio for the enzyme production step, and an enzymatic cocktail is obtained at the end of the cooling step.
