ABSTRACT
While overproduction of recombinant secretory proteins (rs-Prots) triggers multiple changes in the physiology of the producer cell, exposure to suboptimal growth conditions may further increase that biological response. The environmental conditions may modulate the efficiency of both the rs-Prot gene transcription and translation but also the polypeptide folding. Insights into responses elicited by different environmental stresses on the rs-Prots synthesis and host yeast physiology might contribute to a better understanding of fundamental biology processes, thus providing some clues to further optimise bioprocesses. Herein, a series of batch cultivations of Yarrowia lipolytica strains differentially metabolically burdened by the rs-Prots overproduction have been conducted. Combinations of different stress factors, namely pH (3/7) and oxygen availability (kLa 28/110 h-1), have been considered for their impact on cell growth and morphology, substrate consumption, metabolic activity, genes expression, and secretion of the rs-Prots. Amongst others, our data demonstrate that a highly metabolically burdened cell has a higher demand for the carbon source, although presenting a compromised cell growth. Moreover, the observed decrease in rs-Prot production under adverse environmental conditions rather results from the emergence of a less-producing cell subpopulation than from the decrease of the synthetic capacity of the whole cell population.
