Production culture

Medical waste has been a growing concern because of recent incidents of public exposure to discarded blood vials, needles (sharps), empty prescription botdes, and syringes. Medical waste can typically include general refuse, human blood and blood products, cultures and stocks of infectious agents, laboratory animal carcasses, contaminated bedding material, and pathological wastes.

This culture medium has a pH of 6.15. It is sterilised by passage of steam at 122°C for 40 minutes. After cooling, the volume of the broth is 120 liters and the pH is 7.20. The medium is then seeded with 200 cc of a culture of the strain Streptomyces 31723. The culture is carried out for 27 hours at 26°-27°C with agitation and aeration with sterile air. It is then suitable for seeding the production culture. The production culture is carried out in an 800 liter formentation vessel charged with the following ... 

After sterilizing, and adjusting to pH 7.0, 100 ml of the medium was placed in each of several test tubes, 500 ml capacity, and sterilized. Streptomyc carzinostaticus var.neocarzinostaticus strain F-41 was inoculated therein, and fermented with agitation for 24 h at 27°C and then used as the stock culture. Next, an aqueous production culture medium was prepared containing (%) glucose 3.0, peptone 0.5, meat extract 0.5, sodium chloride 0.5, calcium carbonate 0.2. 

After sterilization, the medium was adjusted to pH 7.0. 100 ml of the production medium was placed in each of 70 test tubes, 500 ml capacity and sterilized. 5 % by volume of the above-mentioned stock culture was added to the production culture medium in each test tube and fermented with agitation at 27°C. The pH be came 6.6 after an incubation period of 36 h, and 6.8-7.2 after 48 h. After that, the pH showed no further change. When the amount of... 

Ascorbic acid stimulates proliferation of rabbit chondrocytes at high cell density, chick embryo and bovine articular chondrocytes, and rabbit cartilage explants. Although evidence suggests that ascorbic acid treatment does not directly stimulate transcription of ECM products, cultured chondrocytes undergo changes in gene expression characteristic of hypertrophy. 

Cell populations are normally viewed as unstructured and unsegregated their only property is to have mass. We also abbreviate biomass with X - the great unknown. Substantial losses occur in the bioprocess industry each year due to this unknown factor, specifically, the variability in inoculum cultures and, hence, in yields and productivities of production cultures [455].

The key to the initial success of yield improvement was the addition of solid resins to the production culture (step 1, Table 12.1). The inherent instability of the p-lactone ring of NPI-0052 in aqueous solution,36 such as in the submerged saline fermentation, was overcome by addition of solid resin to the fermentation in order to bind and capture NPI-0052. The addition of resin to the production culture led to an 18-fold increase in yield in a preliminary study (Table 12.1). Further investigation of the resin stabilisation effect on NPI-0052 using the production strain NPS21184 established the conditions for the large-scale resin addition process.37... 

Continuous perfusion culture differs from chemostat in that all nutrients are kept in excess and cells are retained within the bioreactor. The most productive culture system gives t5 ical yields of 10 mg H day for 50-100 days (see section 5.9)... 

The early approaches employed to boost secondary metabolite yields using in vitro plant cell or organ cultures included, selection of nutrient regimes, choice of culture systems and conditions, level of plant growth regulators, cell line selection, precursor feeding, culture elicitation, removal of end-product, culture differentiation, etc. These were successfully followed by the application of recombinant DNA... 

For most aerobic fermentation processes, maintenance of absolute sterility is critical to cell growth and biomass production. Culture growth rate determines susceptibility to culture contamination. Mammalian cells divide in a day, while microbials divide in an hour or less. The difference in growth rate makes slower-growing mammalian cell cultures more susceptible... 

Fermentation and broth treatment. Only an outline will be given here details may be found in references 3 cind 4. Bench-scale fermentations were carried out in approximately 10-liter batches in a 14-liter Chemapec fermenter, type GF0014, sparged by air at a rate of one volume per volume of broth/mlnute. Mechanical agitation was at 300 rpm, and at ambient temperature. The organisms used were Salerot-Cum rolfsii 15206 or a production culture provided by Ceca, S.A. The medium contained per liter,...

Other. Space must be provided for refrigerators and freezers, which are the repositories of the production culture collection. Normally, toilets, showers and a coffee break room are provided since the total work areas are restricted to laboratory employees only. 

Use high concentrations of antibiotic to select for cells with high plasmid copy numbers (e.g., 40 pg mL G418) before setting up a production culture. Afterwards, batch fermentation can be performed in the absence of the costly antibiotic, without decreasing the protein yield. 

The dependence of the expression of secondary metabolites on external parameters in microorganism cultures is well known in the fermentation industry. The rationale behind this phenomenon has, however, apparently not been recognized resulting in empirical "trial and error" approaches to optimization of yield in production cultures (see Section 7.2). In these cases it should be borne in mind that the physical and chemical parameters are as a rule far removed from the natural conditions, and in this way the systems are artificial and not necessarily primarily governed by the Darwinian laws.

Table 2 shows the effect of the number of free mycelia iiKKulated into the flask cub ture On ML 236B pnxJuctiun. As the number of free mycelia inoculated into the produC tion culture increased, the number of pellets increased and the diameters decreased. When more than 3 x 10 free mycelia were inoculated, the morphology of the production culture broth changed to the filamentous form. From this result, the optimum pellet diameter for producing ML 236B was estimated to be as small as possible, if the pellet forms were maintained.
