Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Biochemical Engineering
  • Microbial Fermentation

Background:

  • Maximizing foreign protein expression in recombinant Escherichia coli (E. coli) fed-batch cultures is crucial for industrial applications.
  • Previous optimization studies often used less complex models, limiting achievable yields.
  • Developing advanced operating strategies is essential for efficient bioprocesses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the optimal operating strategy for maximum foreign protein expression in a fed-batch process.
  • To apply a structured model describing cell growth and product formation for recombinant E. coli.
  • To perform complex optimization calculations for fed-batch cultures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a feasible quadratic programming (FSQP) algorithm with a structured model for E. coli.

  • Incorporated a constraint on maximum cell concentration.
  • Calculated optimal time profiles for feed flow rate.

    • Main Results:

    • The optimal time profile of feed flow rate increased foreign protein yield by 12-29% for a fixed batch time, compared to a constant feed rate.
    • FSQP algorithm computation time was significantly reduced by considering suboptimal feed rate profiles.
    • A minor effect on calculated protein yield was observed when using suboptimal profiles.

    Conclusions:

    • FSQP with a complex structured model provides an effective strategy for optimizing fed-batch cultures.
    • Dynamic feed rate control significantly enhances foreign protein yield in recombinant E. coli.
    • Computational efficiency can be balanced with yield optimization through strategic profile selection.
