  • Patent number: 12612596
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of industrial fermentation. In particular, it relates to method for producing a protein of interest from a Bacillus host cell comprising the steps of inoculating a fermentation medium with a Bacillus host cell comprising an expression construct for a gene encoding a protein of interest, cultivating the Bacillus host cell in said fermentation medium under conditions conducive for the growth of the Bacillus host cell and the expression of the protein of interest for a cultivation phase, wherein the cultivation of the Bacillus host cell during said cultivation phase comprises the addition of at least one feed solution and wherein the at least one feed solution provides a carbon source, and separating portions from said Bacillus host cell culture during the cultivation phase at different time points and obtaining the protein of interest from said portions.

  • Publication number: 20260062690
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of industrial fermentation and protein production. In particular, it relates to a method for producing a protein of interest in a fermentation medium comprising the following steps a) inoculating a fermentation medium with a Bacillus host cell comprising a gene encoding a protein of interest under the control of a promoter; b) cultivating the Bacillus host cell in the fermentation medium under conditions conducive for the growth of the Bacillus host cell and the expression of the protein of interest, c) adding sulfate to the fermentation medium to reach a concentration of at least 20 mM of sulfate in the fermentation medium; and d) allowing the protein of interest to precipitate and/or crystallize during cultivation; wherein the fermentation medium comprises an amino acid derivative in an amount of 0-30 g/l of fermentation medium.
