Optimizing the feeding operation of recombinant Escherichia coli during fed-batch cultivation based on Pontryagins minimum principle

Fed-batch Cultivation of Recombinant Escherichia coli Producing Human Interferon-γ Under Controlled Specific Growth Rate

Metabolic footprint analysis of recombinant Escherichia coli strains during fed-batch fermentations.

Metabolic footprinting has become a valuable analytical approach for the characterization of phenotypes and the distinction of specific metabolic states resulting from environmental and/or genetic alterations. The metabolic impact of heterologous protein production in Escherichia coli cells is of particular interest, since there are numerous cellular stresses triggered during this process that ...

High-level production of human leptin by fed-batch cultivation of recombinant Escherichia coli and its purification.

Human leptin is a 16-kDa (146-amino-acid) protein that is secreted from adipocytes and influences body weight homeostasis. In order to obtain high-level production of leptin, the human obese gene coding for leptin was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) under the strong inducible T7 promoter. The recombinant leptin was produced as inclusion bodies in E. coli, and the recombinant leptin cont...

Production of recombinant human annexin V by fed-batch cultivation

BACKGROUND Annexin V, a 35.8 kDa intracellular protein, is a Ca⁺²-dependent phospholipid binding protein with high affinity to phosphatidylserine (PS), which is a well-known hallmark of apoptosis. Annexin V is a sensitive probe for PS exposure upon the cell membrane, and used for detection of apoptotic cells both in vivo and in vitro. Large-scale production of recombinant human annexin V is wor...

Soft sensor control of metabolic fluxes in a recombinant Escherichia coli fed-batch cultivation producing green fluorescence protein.

A soft sensor approach is described for controlling metabolic overflow from mixed-acid fermentation and glucose overflow metabolism in a fed-batch cultivation for production of recombinant green fluorescence protein (GFP) in Escherichia coli. The hardware part of the sensor consisted of a near-infrared in situ probe that monitored the E. coli biomass and an HPLC analyzer equipped with a filtrat...
