A fully integrated process for the microbial production and recovery of
the aromatic amino acid L-phenylalanine is presented. Using a
recombinant L-tyrosine (L-Tyr) auxotrophic Escherichia coli production
strain, a fed-batch fermentation process was developed in a 20-1-scale
bioreactor. Concentrations of glucose and L-Tyr were
closed-loop-controlled in a fed-batch process. After achieving final
L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) titres >30 g/l the process strategy was scaled
up to 300-1 pilot scale. In technical scale fermentation L-phenylalanine
was continuously recovered via a fully integrated reactive extraction
system achieving a maximum extraction rate of 110 g/h (final purity
>99\%). It was thus possible to increase L-Phe/glucose selectivity from
15 mol\% without to 20.3 mol\% with integrated product separation.
