Background: The increase of the protein expression via ribosomal manipulation is one of the suggested cellular mechanisms involved in EnBase fed-batch mode of cultivation. However, this system has not been implemented for cytotoxic proteins.
Objectives: Here, the expression pattern of α-Luffin, a ribosome inactivation protein (RIP) with an innate toxicity, was investigated in EnBase system and the effect of low temperature cultivation on the increase of α-Luffin solubility was determined
Materials And Methods: The encoding cDNA for mature α-Luffin was synthesized and subcloned into pET28a plasmid under the control of T7 promoter. The expression yield in EnBase® Flo fed-batch system was compared with traditional batch mode at two temperatures: 25 °C and 30 °C. Sampling was performed at several time intervals and solubility of recombinant-protein was checked on SDS-PAGE in pellet and supernatant samples. The purification of recombinant protein was performed by Ni-NTA column.
Results: In fed-batch cultivation mode, the early incubation time was desirable at 30 °C whereas the maximum amount of soluble α-Luffin was achieved from the extended protein synthesis period (12 and 24h post induction) at 25 °C.
Conclusions: Our founding showed that EnBase had a greater efficacy in producing higher soluble protein ratios compared to batch cultivation growth rate, however for cytotoxic proteins, incubation temperature and time need to be optimized. Owing to the advantages of natural toxins from RIP family for producing anticancer immune-conjugates, well optimization of this protein expression is of importance regarding industrial aspects. The optimized condition proposed here is promising in terms of large scale soluble production of α-Luffin without the need for refolding.

Article Synopsis
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a dangerous bacteria often found in hospitals that can cause severe infections, especially in patients on ventilators, and its harmful effects are largely due to its type III secretion system (T3SS) and the important protein PcrV.
- Researchers created a recombinant antibody (scFv) targeting the PcrV protein, using a specific cultivation method (EnBase®) and E. coli to optimize the protein's expression and solubility at varying temperatures and induction times.
- The study found that this anti-PcrV scFv showed good effectiveness in lab tests, notably offering protection to red blood cells from being damaged by the bacteria.
Glucose-Limited Fed-Batch Cultivation Strategy to Mimic Large-Scale Effects in Linked to Accumulation of Non-Canonical Branched-Chain Amino Acids by Combination of Pyruvate Pulses and Dissolved Oxygen Limitation.

Insufficient mixing in large-scale bioreactors provokes gradient zones of substrate, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, and other parameters. responds to a high glucose, low oxygen feeding zone with the accumulation of mixed acid fermentation products, especially formate, but also with the synthesis of non-canonical amino acids, such as norvaline, norleucine and β-methylnorleucine. These amino acids can be mis-incorporated into recombinant products, which causes a problem for pharmaceutical production whose solution is not trivial.

Time-Gated Surface-Enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TG-SERS) was utilized to assess recombinant protein production in Escherichia coli. TG-SERS suppressed the fluorescence signal from the biomolecules in the bacteria and the culture media. Characteristic protein signatures at different time points of the cell cultivation were observed and compared to conventional continuous wave (CW)-Raman with SERS.
