Abstract
A simple and robust analyser system based on sequential injection analysis for the determination of sorbitol in Pichia pastoris Mut S phenotype batch fermentation is described. Applicability for the bioprocess monitoring of sorbitol in batch culture medium in a concentration range of 8–1.5 g l −1 with satisfying sorbitol recovery was demonstrated during 60 h. Optimization of physical and chemical parameters is further described. The method proved to be reproducible (R.S.D. < 3%), robust, and fast (17 injections per hour). The SIA sorbitol analyzer showed to be applicable for the monitoring of sorbitol concentration in a mixed substrate P. pastoris fermentation strategy. No interference of methanol was observed. The method is suited for the implementation of sorbitol concentration closed-loop control strategies and for the study of the effect of sorbitol concentration in heterologous protein productivity.
