    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing at least one polypeptide of interest in a Bacillus host cell, said method comprising the steps of a) providing a Bacillus host cell comprising a polynucleotide encoding the at least one polypeptide of interest, b) cultivating the Bacillus host cell under conditions which allow for intracellular accumulation of said at least one polypeptide of interest, thereby producing said at least one polypeptide of interest, c) stop of aeration and addition of feed, and d) incubating the cells for at least hours. Moreover, the present invention relates to a Bacillus host cell comprising a polynucleotide encoding at least one polypeptide of interest lacking a functional secretion sequence, wherein the ispA gene has been inactivated in the Bacillus host cell.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for recovering a protein of interest from a bacterial fermentation broth, wherein the bacterial cells in the fermentation broth exhibit a high degree of lysis, comprising the steps of adding to the fermentation broth comprising the protein of interest at least one flocculant in an amount of 0.5 to 50 g/l of the fermentation broth; separating the protein of interest from at least the bacterial cells by filtration, preferably by dead-end filtration or microfiltration; and thereby obtaining the protein of interest in the filtrate; wherein the bacterial cells are Bacillus cells. Further, the invention relates to the use of a flocculant for recovering a protein of interest from a bacterial fermentation broth comprising a high degree of lysed cells.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for separating a molecule of interest from an antifoaming agent in a fermentation broth comprising said molecule of interest and said antifoaming agent. The method comprises the steps of filtering the fermentation broth at a temperature in the range of 1° C. to 15° C. above the cloud point of the antifoaming agent, and thereby obtaining a first fraction of the fermentation broth comprising the molecule of interest and a second fraction of the fermentation broth comprising the antifoaming agent, wherein the antifoaming agent is a polyalkylene glycol based antifoaming agent. The invention further relates to a process for purifying a molecule of interest from a fermentation broth comprising said method.
