  • Publication number: 20090263889
    Abstract: The present invention provides an optimized method of continuously culturing an auxotrophic marine microorganism in a fermentor under aerobic conditions at Y g/l of cell dry matter, CDM, wherein Y is in the range from 100-300 g/l, comprising culturing said auxotrophic marine microorganism in a culture medium comprising a carbon source, gradually added, in an amount of (Y×h) gram per litre of culture broth, wherein h is in the range from 1.1-3.0, and with a residence time of 20-100 h. The method maintains a high productivity of cellular lipids, especially polyenoic acids.

  • Publication number: 20070259404
    Abstract: The present invention provides improved methods of producing S2A (or S1E) proteases in Gram-positive expression host cells, the method comprising the steps of (a) cultivating in a fed-batch fermentation a Gram-positive cell comprising at least one polynucleotide encoding the heterologous S2A/S1E protease under conditions conducive for production of the protease, wherein at least 20% of the duration of said cultivating takes place at a temperature of below 36.5OC; and (b) recovering the protease.

  • Patent number: 4892825
    Abstract: Immobilized biologically active material in particle form is prepared by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde and polyazetidine. An aqueous dispersion or solution of biologically active material is partially cross-linked with glutaraldehyde, a wet pasty mass is recovered by dewatering and the mass is sub-divided into discrete particles. A polyazetidine prepolymer is added before, at the beginning or subsequent to partially cross-linking but prior to subdividing the pasty mass into particles, and the prepolymer is allowed to cross-link.
