Method for producing lipase, transformed <i>yarrowia lipolytica </i>cell capable of producing said lipase and their uses

摘要

Method for producing Yarrowia lipolytica acid-resistant recombinant lipase utilizing a culture medium without any products of animal origin or non-characterized mixtures such as tryptone, peptone or lactoserum, in addition to its uses. Recombinant strain of Yarrow lipolytica producing an excessive amount of lipase Lip2 referred to as YL-LIP2-6C and filed with the Collection Nationale de Cultures de Microorganismes (C.N.C.M.) under number I 3542, on Dec. 15, 2005 and its uses.

主权项

1. A preparation of yeast acid-resistant recombinant lipase LIP2, obtained by a method comprising:
a) culturing Yarrowia lipolytica cells transformed with a vector comprising a cassette for expressing a yeast acid-resistant lipase LIP2 are cultured, and b) recovering a recombinant lipase LIP2 produced by said cells from the culture supernatant, wherein the culturing is carried out in a culture medium free of products of animal origin or of uncharacterized mixtures consisting of protein materials of animal origin or of products of their enzymatic digestion, and said preparation has a catalytic activity at pH 6 of at least 15 000 units per ml of culture supernatant, one unit corresponding to the quantity of enzyme capable of catalyzing the release of 1 μmol of fatty acid per minute when the substrate used is trioctanoin, and/or in that the concentration of said lipase in said preparation is greater than 1 g of lipase per liter, wherein said Yarrowia lipolytica cell is the clone YL-LIP2-6C, deposited at the Collection Nationale de Cultures de Microorganismes (C.N.C.M.), 28 rue du Docteur Roux, 75724 Paris Cedex 15, under the number I-3542, on 15 Dec. 2005.
