Dynamic Model for Biomass and Proteins Production by Three Bacillus Thuringiensis ssp Kurstaki Strains

Résumé fourni par la source

Bacillus thuringiensis is a microorganism used for the production of biopesticides worldwide. In the present paper, different kinetic models were analyzed to study and compare three different strains of Bt ssp kurstaki (LIP, BLB1, and HD1). Bioperformances (vegetative cell, spore, substrate, and protein) and successive culture phases (oxidative growth, limitation and sporulation, and protein release) were depicted with an overarching aim to estimate total protein productivity, yield, and titer. In the end, two models were calibrated using experimental dataset (11 batches culture in 3 L bioreactor with semisynthetic medium), subsequently validated, and statistically compared. Both models satisfactorily followed the dynamics of the experimental data. Finally, a dynamic model was selected following the Akaike information criterion (AIC).
