Nonetheless, it is an important medicine which acts as a potent β-lactamase inhibitor. These enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of β-lactam ring of antibiotics, leaving them without antibiotic action. It is industrially produced with submerged cultures of Streptomyces clavuligerus, a filamentous bacterium. Extraction and purification studies have shown a very clear and defined course, when it comes to the stages that precede precipitation and crystallization. The extraction processes with ultrafiltration membranes, with organic solvents and extraction in aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) have been studied whereas purification has been studied for processes which involve ion exchange. However, there are few works related to clavulanic acid aqueous two-phase system extraction and they are not conclusive. The present study proposed utilizing the aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) to purify the clavulanic acid and re-extract it with ion exchange adsorption, which might provide information for further studies on coupled processes which operate continuously. The first technique evaluated to re-extract the clavulanic acid was the separation process with membranes, and its results showed a low separation between PEG and clavulanic acid. In a second step, the ion exchange chromatography technique with Amberlite IRA-400Cl and Streamline Q XL resins was used. It was evidenced by the ion exchange chromatography that the Amberlite IRA- 400Cl resin makes the process of re-extraction of clavulanic acid from the top phase possible and that the phosphate present in the top phase makes clavulanic acid adsorption difficult for both studied resins. Addition of ethanol, in order to precipitate the phosphate salts, made the re-extraction of clavulanic acid from the ATPS top phase by Streamline Q XL resin possible. The third step of the global process was the optimization of clavulanic acid extraction using the aqueous two-phase systems. The results showed that it is possible to obtain yields around 100% and a purification factor of 1.5 times for the clavulanic acid. Another characteristic analyzed was the clavulanic acid degradation velocity in the aqueous two-phase system; it was very high at the bottom phase which was rich in phosphate salts. Trials of continuous aqueous twophase system process were performed. This process was shown to be operationally viable. The set of results acquired in this study will allow the study and implementation xxv of a continuous process for the purification of clavulanic acid utilizing the aqueous twophase system. / O ácido clavulânico é uma substância β-lactâmica com fraca atividade antibiótica, porém é um importante fármaco agindo como um potente inibidor de enzimas β- lactamase. Estas enzimas que catalisam a hidrólise do anel β-lactâmico dos antibióticos, deixando os sem ação antibiótica. O ácido clavulânico é produzido industrialmente por culturas submersas da bactéria filamentosa Streptomyces clavuligerus. Os trabalhos referentes à extração e purificação têm mostrado uma direção bastante clara e definida no sentido das etapas envolvidas que precedem à precipitação e cristalização. Na linha de extração têm sido estudados os processos com membranas de ultrafiltração, processos de extração com solventes orgânicos e extração em sistemas de duas fases aquosas (SDFA), enquanto que a purificação tem sido estudada por processos envolvendo a troca iônica. No entanto, são poucos os trabalhos relacionados com a extração do ácido clâvulanico por sistema de duas fases aquosas, não sendo estes ainda conclusivos. No presente trabalho foi proposto utilizar o SDFA para purificar o ácido clavulânico e re-extraí-lo através da adsorção por troca iônica, fornecendo subsídios para futuros estudos de processos conjugados operando de forma contínua. A primeira técnica estudada para re-extração do ácido clavulânico do SDFA foi o processo de separação com as membranas de polisulfona de microfiltração e ultrafiltração operando em escoamento tangencial, cujos resultados mostraram baixa separação entre PEG e ácido clavulânico. Numa segunda etapa utilizou-se técnica de cromatografia de troca iônica com as resinas Amberlite IRA-400Cl e Streamline Q XL. Para cromatografia de troca iônica ficou evidenciado que a resina Amberlite IRA-400Cl possibilita o processo de re-extração do ácido clavulânico da fase de topo e que o fosfato presente na fase de topo dificulta adsorção do ácido clavulânico para ambas as resinas estudadas. Adição do etanol para precipitação dos sais de fosfato possibilitou a re-extração do ácido clavulânico da fase de topo do SDFA pela resina Streamline Q XL. Como terceira etapa do processo global foi realizada a otimização da extração do ácido clavulânico através dos sistemas de duas fases aquosas, os resultados mostraram que é possível obter rendimento próximo a 100% e um fator de purificação de 1,5 vezes para o ácido clavulânico. Outro fator analisado foi a velocidade de degradação do ácido clavulânico no sistema de duas fases aquosas; esta se mostrou bastante alta na fase de fundo rica em sais de fosfato. Os ensaios do processo do sistema de duas fases aquosas contínuo foram realizados, sendo que esse processo mostrou-se operacionalmente viável. O conjunto de xxiii resultados obtidos neste trabalho permitirão o estudo e implementação de um processo contínuo para a purificação do ácido clavulânico utilizando o sistema de duas fases aquosas.

Parmi les différentes méthodes de lutte contre les microorganismes pathogènes et/ou altérants en agroalimentaire, l’utilisation de bactéries lactiques (LAB) bioprotectrices s'avère être un outil prometteur pour la préservation des aliments. Ce travail de thèse collaboratif, entre l'équipe PAPC (AgroSup Dijon, Université de Bourgogne) et le laboratoire BioDyMIA (Université Lyon1-Isara Lyon), concerne l'étude de systèmes bioprotecteurs immobilisant des cellules entières de LAB dans une matrice polymérique d'alginate de sodium et de caséinate de sodium pour une activité ciblée contre Listeria spp. Dans un premier temps, la méthodologie mise en œuvre a consisté à sélectionner des souches de LAB bioprotectrices sur la base de leur activité antimicrobienne évaluée par la méthode de diffusion en milieu gélosé contre trois souches de Listeria spp. Quatre souches sur 19 ont ainsi été sélectionnées. Une caractérisation partielle des métabolites antimicrobiens produits par ces 4 souches a ensuite été réalisée en appliquant des traitements thermiques et enzymatiques aux surnageants de culture correspondants pour évaluer si ces traitements altéraient l’activité des métabolites antimicrobiens présents. Une purification et une identification partielle des actifs antimicrobiens de nature peptidique ont été réalisées uniquement pour la souche d'intérêt principale : Lactococcus lactis LAB3. Dans un second temps, une formulation de la matrice polymérique d’immobilisation des LAB sélectionnées a été choisie en réalisant le diagramme de phases du système aqueux alginate de sodium/caséinate de sodium : 1,5 % (m/m) d'alginate de sodium / 4 % (m/m) de caséinate de sodium / 20 % (m/m) bouillon MRS. Cette formulation a permis d'obtenir une matrice composée d’une phase continue riche en alginate et d’une phase dispersée riche en caséinate dans laquelle les cellules de LAB se localisent préférentiellement d’après les observations en microscopie de fluorescence confocale à balayage laser. Suite à l'inclusion des cellules de LAB dans ces matrices liquides et gélifiées d'alginate seul et d'alginate/caséinate, leur cultivabilité et leur activité anti-Listeria ont été suivies à 30°C pendant 12 jours. Ceci a révélé que la cultivabilité et l’activité antimicrobienne des cellules de LAB se maintiennent à des niveaux plus élevés dans les matrices d'alginate/caséinate que dans celles uniquement à base d’alginate. Ces matrices à base d’alginate et de caséinate apparaissent donc comme un système prometteur pour l'immobilisation de LAB bioprotectrices. Leur intérêt pour l’inclusion de LAB a pu être corrélé à leur viabilité et à la structure composite de cette matrice à base de protéines qui favoriserait la production et la libération des métabolites antimicrobiens / Among the various methods to control foodborne pathogenic and/or food spoilage microorganisms in food chain, bioprotective lactic acid bacteria (LAB) appear to be promising tools for food biopreservation. This collaborative study, between PAPC (Agrosup Dijon, University of Burgundy) and BioDyMIA (University Lyon1-Lyon Isara) laboratories, concerned the development of sodium alginate/sodium caseinate polymeric matrices intended to entrap LAB cells selected for their anti-Listeria spp. activity. First, 4 LAB strains from 19 LAB strains were selected for their anti-Listeria spp. activity: this screening was performed by the method of agar diffusion against three Listeria spp strains. Then, antimicrobial metabolites produced by the selected LAB strains were partially characterized by assessing the effect of various thermal and enzymatic treatments on the anti-Listeria spp. activity of their culture supernatants. A partial purification and identification of antimicrobial active peptides produced by the main strain of interest (Lactococcus lactis LAB3) was also performed. A composition of the polymer matrix has been selected by performing the phase diagram of sodium alginate/sodium caseinate system: 1.5% (w/w) sodium alginate / 4% (w/w) of caseinate sodium / 20% (w/w) MRS broth. This formulation provides a rich alginate continuous phase and a rich caseinate dispersed phase in which LAB cells localize according to the study by confocal microscopy. LAB cells were immobilized in liquid and gelled matrices of alginate and alginate/caseinate. Culturability and anti-Listeria activities were measured during a storage at 30°C for 12 days. The alginate/caseinate matrices were more effective in better maintaining LAB cells cultivability and their antimicrobial activity than alginate matrix. This effectiveness seemed correlated with cell viability and the dispersion-like structure of the protein-based system which enhance production and release of antimicrobial metabolites. Thus, this type of polymeric matrix appeared as a promising immobilization system of bioprotective LAB
