Downstream purification is a major cost driver in bioproduct manufacturing. It is the core step for commercializing microbial pharmaceuticals. It also decides product quality and production capacity.

The safety and effect of bioproducts depend on good downstream purification. This process takes out and cleans up high-purity bioactive substances from complex fermentation broth. These substances must meet pharmacopoeia standards. Purification is the core step for commercializing microbial pharmaceuticals. It decides product quality and production capacity. I. Key Challenges in Purification Processes   Fermentation […]

Three Star Ingredients at “Cabbage Prices”: Sugar Substitutes, Bone Health Supplements, Ergothioneine – Who’s Losing Out to Synthetic Biology?

D-allulose changed from a laboratory sample to a low-calorie beverage ingredient on store shelves. Vitamin K2 changed from a chemically synthesized “industrial product” to a fermentation-derived “natural active ingredient”. The price of ergothioneine dropped from tens of millions of yuan per kilogram to tens of thousands of yuan per kilogram. These industrial changes seem independent.

Differences Among Microbial, Animal Cell, and Plant Cell Bioreactors

Microbial bioreactors, animal cell bioreactors, and plant cell bioreactors are different in these main ways: Microbial Cells Microbial cells are small. Bacteria are usually 1–5 μm. Fungi are a little bigger. Some have cell walls. Some have no cell structure (like viruses). They can live in many harsh places. They are good at adapting to

The Worst Fear in Winter: Frozen Pipes! Heat Tracing Isn’t “Optional”—It’s a Critical Part of Protecting Production and Safety. Electric Heat Tracing or Jacketed Heat Tracing?

People who’ve worked on-site know: what’s the worst thing about winter? It’s not the cold. It’s frozen pipes. Some materials are special. They thicken when the temperature drops. They may crystallize. They can even clog pipes completely. At times like this, heat tracing isn’t just an “optional” auxiliary measure. It’s a critical part of protecting

Abnormal Phenomena in Fermentation Production (Poor Mycelial Growth, Abnormal pH, Abnormal Dissolved Oxygen Level, Excessive Foam, etc.)​

1. Multiple Abnormalities During Fermentation and Their Adverse Effects​ Many abnormal things can happen during fermentation. They hurt fermentation results and product quality.​ Poor Mycelial Growth ​ Poor seed quality: Seeds may not be active enough. For example, they are stored too long or kept in bad conditions. This makes seed cells less active. They

Why Is Synthetic Biology a New Type of Productive Force and Why Is It Popular?

A new type of productive force uses innovation as the main driver. It does not follow old economic growth models or old ways of developing productivity. It has three key features: high technology, high efficiency and high quality. It fits the new development idea. It shows technological innovation in the form of productivity. It means a

Fed-Batch Fermentation Process and Its Control

Fed-batch technology is very important in modern large-scale fermentation industry. You can control microbial cell density with fed-batch operation. You can also avoid the inhibitory effect of too high substrate concentration on microbial growth or target product expression.​ Now, fed-batch modes have changed. They were simple one-stage feeding before. Now they are multi-stage repeated feeding.
