RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to investigate the production of the antitumor antibiotic retamycin by immobilized cells of Streptomyces. olindensis ICB20 in bioreactors. Cells were immobilized by entrapment in Ca-alginate gel (3%) after being grown in Erlenmeyers (reactivation and pre-immobilization cultures). The average diameter of the Ca-alginate beads was 3.0 ± 0.2 mm. Aiming to compare different cell systems, immobilized cell cultures were carried out in a 2.4L working volume basket-type stirred tank reactor (BSTR) and a 1.6 L working volume bubble column reactor (BCR) in batch, repeated-batch and continuous modes. Free cell suspension cultures were also performed and the results obtained compared to those in immobilized cell systems. Different agitation rates (300 and 500 rpm) and air flow rates (0.4 and 1.0 v.v.m.) were employed in the BSTR immobilized cell experiments.The BCR cultures were conducted at 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 v.v.m. The optimal operating conditions for the batch mode were used in the repeated-batch and continuous cultures. Immobilized cells were grown in continuous mode at feed dilution rates of 0.05 and 0.2 h-1 in the BSTR and at 0.015 and 0.05 h-1 in the BCR. The comparative evaluation of the batch cultures with free and immobilized cells showed that diffusion limitations had affected the kinetics of cell growth and retamycin production in the immobilized cell systems. The highest average values of retamycin content (from 1.5 to 1.7 AU) were achieved in repeated batch cultures conducted in the basket-type reactor (BSTR) in spite of a limited number of batches (3 batches). Of all the systems, the continuous cell immobilized culture carried out in the BCR at a dilution rate of 0.03 h-1 proved to be the most adequate for retamycin production as retamycin levels remained stable (around 0.8 AU) over 96 hours (about 3 residence times).
