Study Notes
- Pyocyanin: produced in batch and continuous laboratory-scale cultures
- Batch culture: limited nutrient availability and product production due to closed systems
- Continuous culture: open systems, allows for controlled growth with constant nutrient supply
- Scaling up production: bulk culturing, three growth modes: batch, fed batch, and continuous
- Important criteria: maintain adequate mixing, high oxygen levels, control pH, temperature, and foam
- Viral replication: relies on host cell machinery, can lead to cell destruction or budding
- Bacterial evolution: changes in population over time due to mutation or DNA acquisition
- Antimicrobial resistance: results from bacterial evolution, selective pressure from antibiotics
- Strain improvement: increase production through spontaneous or targeted mutations, genetic modification
- Heterologous gene expression: production of human-identical insulin through cloning and gene modification in E. coli
Additional bullet points:
- Lab-scale culture: optimizes steps for product production, limited in industrial applications
- Viral replication: can lead to human disease, some viruses integrate into host genome
- Bacterial evolution: mechanisms include transformation, transduction, and conjugation
- Antimicrobial resistance: can lead to increased resistance in bacteria, decreased effectiveness of treatments
- Contamination of pharmaceutical products: understanding origins, reducing risks, testing and results.
