High Kanamycin Concentration as Another Stress Factor Additional to Temperature to Increase pDNA Production in DH5α Batch and Fed-Batch Cultures.

Plasmid DNA (pDNA) vaccines require high supercoiled-pDNA doses (milligrams) to achieve an adequate immune response. Therefore, processes development to obtain high pDNA yields and productivity is crucial. pDNA production is affected by several factors including culture type, medium composition, and growth conditions.
