Summary The production of streptavidin byStreptomyces avidinii in several different media was examined at 24, 48 and 72 hours. Flask studies indicated that fermentation media containing either complex or multiple carbon sources resulted in higher yields of streptavidin than media with a single carbon source. Streptavidin could be detected in crude fermentation broths by use of a tritiated biotin binding assay. This assay appears to give useful estimates of streptavidin production. Depending upon the medium employed, streptavidin yields ranged from 0.5 mg/l to 53 mg/l. Production was successfully scaled up to ten liter fermentors. Streptavidin was purified in a one step process from centrifuged, concentrated fermentation broths by binding the protein to an iminobiotin column at pH 11 followed by elution at pH 4.0. Recovery percentages varied depending upon the solubility of the fermentation media ingredients. |
