Pichia pastoris, a methylotrophic yeast, is known to be an efficient host for heterologous proteins production. In this study, a recombinant P. pastoris Y11430 was found better for β-glucosidase activity in comparison with a wild type P. pastoris Y11430 strain, and thereby, subjected to methanol intermittent feed profiling for β-glucosidase production. The results showed that at 72 h of cultivation time, the cultures with 16.67% and 33.33% methanol feeding with constant rate could produce the total dry cell weight of 52.23 and 118.55 g/L, respectively, while the total mutant β-glucosidase activities were 1001.59 and 3259.82 units, respectively. The methanol feeding profile was kept at 33% with three methanol feeding strategies such as constant feed rate, linear feed rate, and exponential feed rate which were used in fed-batch fermentation. At 60 h of cultivation, the highest total mutant β-glucosidase activity was 2971.85 units for exponential feed rate culture. On the other hand, total mutant β-glucosidase activity of the constant feed rate culture and linear feed rate culture were 1682.25 and 1975.43 units, respectively. The kinetic parameters of exponential feed rate culture were specific growth rate on glycerol 0.228/h, specific growth of methanol 0.061/h, maximum total dry cell weight 196.73 g, yield coefficient biomass per methanol ([Formula: see text]) 0.57 gcell/gMeOH, methanol consumption rate ([Formula: see text]) 5.76 gMeOH/h, and enzyme productivity ([Formula: see text]) 75.96 units/h. In conclusion, higher cell mass and β- glucosidase activity were produced under exponential feed rate than constant and linear feed rates.
