Sk. Yoon et al., OPTIMIZATION OF RECOMBINANT ESCHERICHIA-COLI FED-BATCH FERMENTATION FOR BOVINE SOMATOTROPIN, Biotechnology letters, 16(11), 1994, pp. 1119-1124
Optimum specific growth rate for the production of recombinant bovine
somatotropin (bST) was investigated in fed-batch E. coli fermentation
with a controlled specific growth rate. Maximum specific bST concentra
tion based on cell mass decreases linearly with the controlled specifi
c growth rate. Productivity of bST is expressed by a quadratic equatio
n as a function of the specific growth rate and has a maximum value at
mu = 0.23 hr(-1).
