Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: L-methionine production at the industrial scale suffers from various drawbacks, including the production and separation of the L-enantiomer of the amino acid methionine by chemical production methods. This strain exhibiting resilience to feedback inhibition by L-methionine provided a promising avenue for enhanced production. The present study has tried to uplift the production rate of the amino acid by a developed L-methionine-resistant strain Alcaligenes faecalis ATCXT 3624 through surpassing feedback inhibition. Methods: Empirical optimization of all fermentation conditions was studied by observing the effects of initial pH, temperature, inoculum age, medium volume, cell density, and different micronutrients, which enhanced L-methionine production. In addition, efforts were made to find suitable nitrogen and carbon sources. Results: Eventually, 23.8±0.22 mg/mL of L-methionine was obtained under optimized fermentation conditions, which is significantly (p<0.05) higher than that produced before optimized fermentation conditions. Conclusion: Eventually, it can be assumed that the strain effectively produced the amino acid at an enhanced rate under optimized conditions.
