What is bacterial fermentation?
Bacterial fermentation is a metabolic process in which bacteria break down carbohydrates and amino acids to obtain energy for growth. Industrial fermentation is the process of using microbes to produce plasmids, enzymes, proteins, peptides, and other products on a large scale. Due to this, bacterial fermentation is used in many industrial settings including the manufacture of biopharmaceuticals, food and feed, chemicals, and biofuels. In the biopharmaceutical industry, microorganisms are a tool to produce therapeutics such as plasmids, proteins, peptides, and small molecules. Here, we will mainly talk about the applications of bacteria like Escherichia coli, and how to optimize E. coli production and other bacterial fermentations. However, bacteria are not the only microorganisms used to produce chemicals and therapeutics. Find out more about yeast fermentation and its applications in biopharma.

Protein expression in E. coli
E. coli is a popular production host for industrial fermentation due to its high transformation efficiency, rapid growth and the ability to express proteins at high levels. Additionally, genetic manipulation of E.coli to produce strains with higher productivity has resulted in a wide range of specialized E. coli with mutations that enhance protein folding, transcriptional regulation, and production of eukaryotic proteins.

The Auto Culture Mode reduces the complexity of bioprocess design
The Auto Culture Mode is a software feature of the bench-scale BioFlo® 120 bioreactor control station. It allows bioprocess beginners to achieve satisfactory bioprocess results in a short time and offers a starting point for further optimization. The Auto Culture mode is populated with setpoints and cascades tested by our applications development team. The user needs only select the vessel size and type from the list of available choices, and make standard preparations (sensor and pump calibration, vessel preparation) for the run.

Plasmid production in bacteria
Plasmids are circular molecules of DNA that are found naturally occurring in bacteria and can replicate independently of genomic DNA. Plasmid DNA serves an essential role in bioprocessing - particularly for biopharmaceutical applications – as it is involved in the production of recombinant proteins and viral vectors.

Fermentation scale-up
To successfully produce biopharmaceuticals in a competitive market, fermentation processes must be effectively scaled up from small-scale to industrial production. However, it can be challenging to increase the working volume in an easy and cost-effective manner. Larger batches, varying process parameters, and different vessel properties can all result in unexpected problems that greatly impact culture performance. Check out our bioprocess scale-up page to understand how you can improve your scaling up process.

Eppendorf bioreactor systems for fermentation scale-up
Fermentation scale-up from 1 L to 100 L
Scalable from 60 mL to 2,400 L, there are a wide range of bioreactors available to help you scale-up from the bench to industrial production. In our application note we describe the use of three different fermentation systems to successfully scale-up an E. coli fermentation from small scale to pilot scale. First, we investigated engineering parameters critical for scaling up fermentation processes, such as vessel and impeller geometry, oxygen transfer rate, power number, and impeller power consumption per volume. Then we utilized these data to scale-up an E. coli process from 1 L to 100 L following the constant P/V scale-up strategy.

Food, nutrition, and human health
Fermented foods have been a part of the human diet for thousands of years and were initially produced as a way to preserve foods and improve flavor. Today, many people are now turning to fermented foods to improve their lifestyles since they are associated with a variety of health benefits, including improved digestion and immunity, due to the presence of beneficial bacteria known as probiotics. Culturing microbiome bacteria requires specific growth conditions that mimic the bacteria’s natural environment such as the gut or soil. This generally requires fine control of key parameters such as oxygen, pH, temperature and substrates. For example, in order to cultivate Lactobacilli and their natural fermentation by-products, bioreactors need to be able to reproduce the microaerobic conditions found in the gastrointestinal tract.
