A simple fed-batch system for cultivating genetically engineered yeast generating lactate under the regulation of the PDC1 promoter was established. Traditional strategies that avoid occurrence of Crabtree effect, such as respiratory quotient (RQ) control or ethanol control, are not applicable to the strain because of reduced generation of ethanol and CO(2) by-products. In this system, the feed rate increased when the pH was >5.0, and decreased when the pH was <5.0. Using this system, cell yields on sucrose increased by approximately 30% compared to that with the conventional RQ control method, due to the early detection of occurrence of Crabtree effect by pH decrease.

Background: Cow's milk represents an important protein source. Here, especially casein proteins are important components, which might be a promising source of alternative protein production by microbial expression systems. Nevertheless, caseins are difficult-to-produce proteins, making heterologous production challenging.

Traditional Chinese medicine of has been utilized in China for thousands of years. Its primary active compound, polydatin, exhibits a variety of pharmacological effects including the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, suppression of cough and asthma, as well as antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. However, conventional methods for polydatin production are inadequate to satisfy the market demand.

As an important coagulation factor, activated coagulation factor VII (FVIIa) is mainly used to treat the bleeding of hemophilia patients who have developed inhibitory antibodies against FVIII and FIX conventional treatment. Recombinant human factor VII (rhFVII) produced in mammalian cell lines have been developed as the most important resource of FVIIa. However, cell lines express rhFVII protein derived from an exogenous expression vector at a lower level than most other proteins.

Solid-state fermentation of lignocellulosic waste to produce feed protein is a means of realising solid waste. However, low efficiency and susceptibility to microbial contamination remain significant challenges in feed protein production through room-temperature solid-state fermentation. In this study, thermophilic microbiomes were enriched.

The emergence of new viruses and the spread of existing pathogens necessitate efficient vaccine production methods. The baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) is an efficient and scalable system for subunit and virus-like particle vaccine production and gene therapy vectors. However, current production processes are often limited to low cell concentrations (1-4 × 10 cells/mL) in fed-batch mode.
