In Situ Characterization of Cell-Protein Fouling

Whilst numerous real fermentation broths have been studied [18-20], a popular model protein-cell system is the mixture of washed yeast cells and bovine serum 

In our work, the yeast was labeled with calcofluor white solution. BSA-fluor-escein conjugate fluoresces green and ovalbumin-Texas red conjugate fluoresces red. Further details of the Oxford work can be found in [42]. 

Filtering Protein Solutions Through Preformed Yeast Cakes 

Having deposited a cake of yeast cells by filtering yeast only solutions (0.37 g L ) for 1 h, the feed was switched to protein-only solutions (50 mg L ). Maintaining a stable cake of yeast cells during the filtration of the protein-only solutions proved 

The chemical cleaning of protein fouled membranes was also investigated using the multiphoton microscope. There is potential for further work in this area.
