Morphologically favorable mutant of Trichoderma reesei for low viscosity cellulase production

Metabolite production by filamentous fungi hampered because of high viscosity generated during growth. Low viscosity fermentation by mold is one of the preferred ways of large scale enzymes production. Cellulolytic enzymes play a key role during the process of lignocellulosic biomass conversion.

Zusammenfassung:Metabolite production by filamentous fungi hampered because of high viscosity generated during growth. Low viscosity fermentation by mold is one of the preferred ways of large scale enzymes production. Cellulolytic enzymes play a key role during the process of lignocellulosic biomass conversion. In this study, a mutant RC‐23‐1 was isolated through mutagenesis (diethyl sulfate followed by UV) of Trichoderma reesei RUT‐C30. RCRC‐23‐1 not only gave higher cellulase production but also generated lower viscosity during enzyme production. Viscosity of mutant growth was more than three times lower than parent strain. RC‐23‐1 shows unique, yeast‐like colony morphology on solid media and small pellet‐like growth in liquid media. This mutant did not spread like mold on solid media. This mutant produces cellulases constitutively when grown in sugars. Using only glucose, the cellulase production was 4.1 FPU/ml. Among polysaccharides (avicel, xylan, and pectin), avicel gave maximum of 6.2 FPU/ml and pretreated biomass (rice straw, wheat straw and sugarcane bagasse) produced 5.1–5.8 FPU/ml. At 7 L scale reactor, fed‐batch process was designed for cellulase production using different carbon and nitrogen sources. Maximum yield of cellulases was 182 FPU/g of lactose consumed was observed in fed‐batch process. The produced enzyme used for hydrolysis of acid pretreated rice straw (20% solid loading) and maximum of 60% glucan conversion was observed. RC‐23‐1 mutant is good candidate for large scale cellulase production and could be a model strain to study mold to yeast‐like transformation. In this study a mutant RC‐23‐1 was isolated through mutagenesis of T. reesei RUT‐C30, which not only gave higher cellulase production but also generated lower viscosity during enzyme production. RC‐23‐1 shows unique, yeast like colony morphology on solid media and small pellet like growth in liquid media. This mutant is good candidate for large scale cellulase production and could be a model strain to study mold to yeast‐like transformation.
