Bacterial protein production from corn cob pre-treated with NaOH at room temperature
World Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology
|January 15, 2014
Abstract:
Corn cobs were treated at room temperature with NaOH at a ratio of 100:3 (w/w), but with different volumes of water from 3 to 0.25 ml/g corn cob. The biomasses obtained from a mixture culture of Cellulomonas sp. and Bacillus subtilis under each condition were similar (5.5 to 6.0 g/l) and protein only varied between 30% and 40% (w/w biomass) or 1.9 and 2.2 g/l. Low volumes and low amounts of NaOH can therefore be used in a cost-effective manner.

Lactic acid, an important organic acid extensively applied in food, pharmaceutical, and biodegradable polymer industries, is primarily produced via microbial fermentation. This method is favored over chemical synthesis due to its environmental sustainability and capacity for enantiomerically pure product formation. Among various microbial processes, the fermentation of starch-based substrates stands out due to the abundance and renewability of raw materials like corn and potatoes.Hydrolysis of...

Industrial insulin production uses genetically engineered E. coli expressing a proinsulin gene controlled by a tryptophan promoter and containing a methionine linker for later cleavage. The cells also carry ampicillin resistance for selective growth. Seed cultures are stored at −80 °C and production begins by thawing a small amount to inoculate starter cultures, which are progressively scaled to a 50,000-L bioreactor. In the bioreactor, E. coli grow in nutrient-rich media under...
