Industrial enzymes made by microbial fermentation - True
Question asked:
“Industrial enzymes are produced by culturing microorganisms in bioreactors through fermentation.”
Summary
Industrial enzymes are indeed produced by cultivating microorganisms in bioreactors where they undergo fermentation, typically using submerged aerobic cultures in stirred‑tank reactors to secrete extracellular enzymes. This method has been the standard approach for large‑scale enzyme production for many years.

More recently, pigmented metabolites such as lycopene, indigoidine, betanin, and betaxanthins, which have applications in the food, cosmetic, textile, and pharmaceutical industries, were synthesized by co-expression of three enzymes in the presence of tobacco BY-2 cell suspension lysates [91]. The fact that these are visually discernible metabolites enables monitoring their accumulation during synthesis. The scale-up production of these metabolites is yet to be demonstrated. However, the production of cell lysates from the tobacco BY-2 cell suspension cultures can adequately be performed in large-scale bioreactors just as the large-scale quantities of the enzymes needed to catalyze the reaction.

Fermentation carried out in the presence of an excess of free water is termed as submerged fermentation. The use of an aerobic submerged culture in a stirred-tank reactor is a typical industrial process for enzyme production involving microorganisms that produce an extracellular enzyme.

Medium optimization is another crucial parameter in large scale enzyme production. Earlier, classical methods such as one factor at a time (OFAT) were employed, where each component was studied separately making the process laborious, expensive, and error-prone. However, in recent years, the use of statistical/mathematical tools has revolutionized this area where maximum production is achieved by conducting fewer experiments. This contemporary approach is very effective in designing suitable fermentation media conditions (pH, temperature, agitation speed, incubation time, etc) and components (Inoculum size, moisture content, carbon, and nitrogen source, salts, etc) which maximize the yield and activity of the product and in turn, cuts down the product cost, production cost as well as time [48••].

Optimization of growth media, supplementing with enriched nutrients, and fermentation crucial parameters will help to develop cost-effective media to achieve higher productivity with reduced induction time for the industrial benefits. Significant fermentation parameters including fermentation temperature, pH and agitation rate were optimized by varying the levels of these factors using central composite design for achieving higher cell growth with maximum CMCase activity. Table 2 depicted the obtained values of the responses i.e. cell growth and CMCase activity. Statistical testing of the model using analysis of variance (ANOVA) is presented in the Table 3A and B for cell growth and CMCase activity, respectively.
