In this study, fermentation strategies were carried out for improving the production of bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances by Lactobacillus brevis C23 with nutrient supplementation, pH, and temperature variations, as well fed-batch cultivation. The BLIS activity was highest (91.52%) in MRS medium supplemented 1.5% (w/v) lactose 1% meat extract. pH 5 augmented both cell biomass activity, but...

The β-lactamase inhibitor, clavulanic acid is frequently used in combination with β-lactam antibiotics to treat a wide spectrum of infectious diseases. Clavulanic acid prevents drug resistance by pathogens against these β-lactam antibiotics by preventing the degradation of the β-lactam ring, thus ensuring eradication of these harmful microorganisms from the host. This systematic review provides...

BACKGROUND Due to its cost-effectiveness and rich sugar composition, sugarcane molasses is considered to be a promising carbon source for biorefinery. However, the sugar mixture in sugarcane molasses is not consumed as efficiently as glucose in microbial fermentation due to complex interactions among their utilizing pathways, such as carbon catabolite repression (CCR). In this study, 2,3-butane...

Concept Design and optimization of cell culture processes requires intensive studies based on “Design of experiments”-strategies. In academia teaching of DoE-concepts is often insufficient, as in most cases only simple culture strategies (batch) can be performed, as time and money are limited. More complex tasks such as feeding strategies for fed batch culture can be discussed theoretically onl...

BACKGROUND Here we describe a new technical solution for optimization of Pichia pastoris shake flask cultures with the example of production of stable human type II collagen. Production of recombinant proteins in P. pastoris is usually performed by controlling gene expression with the strong AOX1 promoter, which is induced by addition of methanol. Optimization of processes using the AOX1 promot...

The definition of the continuous chirality measure(CCM) is provided and its applications are summarized in this tutorial review, with special emphasis on the field of transition metal complexes. The CCM approach, developed in recent years, provides a quantitative parameter that evaluates the degree of chirality of a given molecule. Many quantitative structural correlations with chirality have b...

Enhanced production of recombinant dengue multi-epitope protein in Escherichia coli was achieved by optimization of culture medium. Complex media (Luria Bertani broth, Terrific broth, Super broth, M9 minimal media, five times Luria Bertani broth, semi-defined medium enriched with tryptone and yeast extract, and semi-defined medium enriched with glucose) were evaluated for production of recombin...

Dynamic changes of physiological bioprocess parameters, e.g. a change in the specific growth rate μ, are frequently observed during industrial manufacturing as well as bioprocess development. A quantitative description of these variations is of great interest, since it can bring elucidation to the physiological state of the culture. The goal of this contribution was to show limitations and issu...
