One of the first applications of the natural product bacterial cellulose (BC) was the use as a calorie-free dessert called Nata de Coco, today a common Asian food.

After the process of fermentation is over, the exhausted bacteria can be separated from the broth by filtration. This cell mass has a number of names, such as microbial biomass or single cell protein (SCP). Microbial biomass is a side product of all fermentation processes but in some cases it is actually the sole target product. Bacterial cells have a high content of protein, but are low in fat and cholesterol. This explains the names single cell protein (SCP) or microbial protein. SCP is mainly used as an additive in animal feed to enhance protein content. In principle, it is also safe for human food use, but the acceptance has been low until now. 

The problem of in vitro protein folding has become a major barrier to the successful use of bacterial systems for protein production. Bacterial hosts often produce inactive protein in the form of inclusion bodies. The refolding of this inactive protein results in the recovery of the native molecules as well as misfolded and aggregated proteins. Aggregate formation reduces the yield of... 

Natural product extracts and bacterial culture collections do not necessarily work well together on drug discovery platforms. The separation, identification, characterization, scale-up, and purification of natural products for large-scale libraries suitable for these HTS are daunting, and rational arguments for the selection of organisms and/or natural product molecules are often absent, especially given the poor taxonomic characterization of strains in natural product bacterial strain collections. 

In order to insure a good product, bacterial cleanliness and careful grading must be obtained during the process of preparation.

Bacteria can s mthesize a wide range of biopolymers. The key aspects of the production bacterial biopolymers have been reviewed (75,76). It is expected that a better understanding of polymer biosynthesis and material properties can lead to an increased use of bacterial biopol mers.

A base, formed by the bacterial degradation of histidine, and present in ergot and in many animal tissues, where it is liberated in response to injury and to antigen-antibody reactions. If injected it causes a condition of shock with dilatation of many blood vessels, loss of plasma from the capillaries to the tissues and a rapid fall in blood pressure. It is normally prepared from protein degradation products. 

Potcntiomctric Biosensors Potentiometric electrodes for the analysis of molecules of biochemical importance can be constructed in a fashion similar to that used for gas-sensing electrodes. The most common class of potentiometric biosensors are the so-called enzyme electrodes, in which an enzyme is trapped or immobilized at the surface of an ion-selective electrode. Reaction of the analyte with the enzyme produces a product whose concentration is monitored by the ion-selective electrode. Potentiometric biosensors have also been designed around other biologically active species, including antibodies, bacterial particles, tissue, and hormone receptors. 

A rather more specific mechanism of microbial immobilization of metal ions is represented by the accumulation of uranium as an extracellular precipitate of hydrogen uranyl phosphate by a Citrobacter species (83). Staggering amounts of uranium can be precipitated more than 900% of the bacterial dry weight Recent work has shown that even elements that do not readily form insoluble phosphates, such as nickel and neptunium, may be incorporated into the uranyl phosphate crystallites (84). The precipitation is driven by the production of phosphate ions at the cell surface by an external phosphatase. 

Recovery nd Purifica.tion. The production of EH Lilly s human insulin requires 31 principal processing steps of which 27 are associated with product recovery and purification (13). The production process for human insulin, based on a fermentation which yields proinsulin, provides an instmctive case study on the range of unit operations which must be considered in the recovery and purification of a recombinant product from a bacterial fermentation. Whereas the exact sequence has not been pubUshed, the principle steps in the purification scheme are outlined in Figure la. 

The separation of cells from the culture media or fermentation broth is the first step in a bioproduct recovery sequence. Whereas centrifugation is common for recombinant bacterial cells (see Centrifugal separation), the final removal of CHO cells utilizes sterile-filtration techniques. Safety concerns with respect to contamination of the product with CHO cells were addressed by confirming the absence of cells in the product, and their relative noninfectivity with respect to immune competent rodents injected with a large number of CHO cells.
