본 연구에서는 2차원 형광스펙트럼의 PCA 분석을 통하여 발효 공정을 모니터링하고 PCR과 PLS과 같은 다변량 분석기법을 이용하여 공정을 모델링하였다. 재조합 대장균 E. coli 와 효모 S.cerevisiae의 발효 공정 중에 얻어진 많은 양의 2차원 형광스펙트럼 자료는 우선 PCA를 통해 축소된다. 그리고 PCA에서 주성분점수와 적재 산점도는 발효 공정의 정성적 경향을 묘사하기 위해 사용되었다. 또한, PCR과 PLS는 2차원 형광스펙트럼의 분석을 위해 사용되었으며 PLS모델이 보정과 예측 능력에서 PCR모델보다 조금 더 우수한 성능을 나타냈다. 따라서 2차원 형광스펙트럼 자료를 이용하여 생물공정을 모델링 하고자 할 때는 PCR 방법보다는 PLS 방법을 사용하는 것이 유리할 것이다.

For the production of $B^{30}-homoserine$ insulin analog as a novel anti-diabetic drug, the fermentative study was attempted for the maximal gene expression of HTS-fused $B^{30}-homoserine$ insulin precursor in the recombinant Escherichia coli cells. In a batch fermentation, the maximal production of insulin precursor as much as 38.95 mg/L-h, which occupied more than 12.8% of total cell protein. was achieved when the gene expression was induced by 0.5 mM IPTG at the middle logarithmic growth phase. The HTS-fused $B^{30}-homoserine$ insulin precursor was recovered from a batch culture through the processes of cell harvest, collection of insoluble fraction after sonication and purification by nickel affinity column chromatography. The isolated insulin precursor was 14 mg/L with a recovery yield of 35.9% of expressed gene product. The insulin A and B chain mixture was recovered after the insulin precursor was subjected to CNBr cleavage and purified by nickel affinity column chromatography. The isolated insulin chains were then sulfitolyzed with sodium thiosulfat and sodium tetrathionate, and reconstituted to insulin analog with ${\beta}-mercaptoethanol$, followed by purification with CM-Sepharose C-25 column chromatography.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are homo or hetero polyesters of (R)-hydroxyalkanoates accumulated in various microorganisms under growth-limiting condition in the presence of excess carbon source. They have been suggested as biodegradable substitutes for chemically synthesized polymers. Recombinant Escherichia coli is one of the promising host strains for the economical production of PHAs, and has been extensively investigated for the process development. The heterologous PHA biosynthetic pathways have been established through the metabolic engineering and inherent metabolic pathways of E. coli have been redirected to supply PHA precursors. Fermentation strategies for cultivating these recombinant E. coli strains have also been developed for the efficient production of PHAs. Nowadays, short-chain-length (SCL) PHAs are being re-invited due to its improved mechanical properties and possible applications in the biomedical area. In this article, recent advances in the development of metabolically engineered E. coli strains for the enhanced production of SCL-PHAs are reviewed. Also, medical applications of SCL-PHAs are discussed.

Transgenic plant cell cultures for the production of biopharmaceuticals including monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins have been regarded as an alternative platform in addition to traditional microbial fermentation and mammalian cell cultures. Plant-made pharmaceuticals (PMPs) have several advantages such as safety, cost-effectiveness, scalability and possibility of complex post-translational modifications. Increasing demand for the quantity and diversity of pharmaceutical proteins may accelerate the industrialization of PMP technology. Up to date, there is no plant-made recombinant protein approved by USFDA (Food and Drug Administration) for human therapeutic uses due to the technological bottlenecks of low expression level and slight differences in glycosylation. Regarding expression levels, it is possible to improve the productivity by using stronger promoter and optimizing culture processes. In terms of glycosylation, humanization has been attempted in many ways to reduce immune responses and to enhance the efficacy as well as stability. In this review article, all these respects of transgenic plant cell cultures were summarized. In addition, we also discuss the general characteristics of plant cell suspension cultures related with bioreactor design and operation to achieve high productivity in large scale which could be a key to successful commercialization of PMPs.

To overproduce endoxylanase from a recombinant Bacillus subtilis harboring the pJHKJ4 plasmid, the effects of carbon and nitrogen sources on the cell growth and expression level of endoxylanase were investigated in the flask cultures. Among the various carbon and nitrogen sources tested, glucose and maltose as carbon source and yeast extract as nitrogen source were found to be the most effective for the cell growth and the endoxylanase expression. When the concentration of glucose was increased from 0.5% to 5%, the highest activity of extracellular endoxylanse, 166 unit/$m\ell$, was observed at 2% glucose. In case of maltose, the endoxylanase was stably produced at the level of 180 unit/$m\ell$, regardless of the concentration of maltose. The higher the concentration of yeast extract, the greater cell growth and endoxylanase expression were obtained. However, the highest endoxylanase activity per unit cell mass was observed with 1% yeast extract. With the optimized medium (2% glucose, 1% yeast extract, etc), about 630 unit/$m\ell$ of endoxylanse was expressed through the batch fermentation in a fermentor, which expression level corresponded to about 0.7 g-endoxylanase protein /$\ell$. It was also found that the plasmid was stably maintained above 70% level, and more than 90% of endoxylanase activity was detected in the extracellular medium.

Fed-batch fermentations were conducted to produce human lipocortin-I (LC1), a potential anti-inflammatory agent, from recombinant Sacchromyces cerevisiae carrying a galactose-inducible expression system. The cell growth, expression level of LC1, and the plasmid stability were investigated under various LC1 induction modes performed by three different galactose feeding strategies. Galactoe was fed to induce the expression of LCl from the beginning (initial induction) of culture or when the cell concentration reached 120 OD (mid-phase induction) or 300 OD (late induction). Among the three galactose-induction modes tested, the initial induction mode yielded the best result with respect to a final expression level of LC1. Fedbatch fermentation with initial induction mode produced LC1 at a conentration of 220 mg/l, which corresponded to 1.38- and 1.53-fold increases over those produced by mid-phase and late induction modes.

Two-step fed-batch fermentations were carried out to overproduce Bacillus licheniformis maltogenic amylase (BLMA) in recombinant Escherichia coli. The first step was to increase the cell mass by controlling the feeding of a glucose solution, while the second step was designed to improve the amylase expression efficiency by supplementing organic nitrogen sources. The linear gradient feeding method was successfully adopted to maintain the glucose concentration below 0.2 g/l during the fed-batch mode, as effectively minimizing acetic acid formation. When the dissolved oxygen (DO) level became limiting, an accumulation of acetic acid and drastic decrease in specific BLMA productivity were observed. Glucose and organic nitrogen sources consisting of yeast extract and casein hydrolysate were simultaneously supplied in the pH-stat mode to further increase the specific BLMA expression efficiency. An organic nitrogen source consisting of 200 g/1 yeast extract and 100 g/1 casein hydrolysate was found to be the best among the various combinations tested. The feeding of an organic nitrogen source in the second-step fed-batch period was highly beneficial in enhancing the BLMA production. The optimized two-step fed-batch culture resulted in 78 g/l maximum dry cell mass and 443 U/ml maximum BLMA activity, corresponding to 1.5-fold increase in the dry cell mass and 3.7-fold enhancement in BLMA production, compared with the simple fed-batch fermentation.

During the last few decades, it has become evident that the compatibility of the yeast biochemical environment with the ability to process and translate the RNA transcript, along with its capacity to modify a translated protein, are relevant requirements for selecting this host cell for protein expression in several pharmaceutical and clinical applications. In particular, Pichia pastoris is used as an industrial host for recombinant protein and metabolite production, showing a powerful capacity to meet required biomolecular target production levels in high-throughput assays for functional genomics and drug screening. In addition, there is a great advantage to using P. pastoris for protein secretion, even at high molecular weights, since the recovery and purification steps are simplified owing to relatively low levels of endogenous proteins in the extracellular medium. Clearly, no single microexpression system can provide all of the desired properties for human protein production. Moreover, chemical and physical bioprocess parameters, including culture medium formulation, temperature, pH, agitation, aeration rates, induction, and feeding strategies, can highly influence product yield and quality. In order to benefit from the currently available wide range of biosynthesis strategies using P. pastoris, this mini review focuses on the developments and technological fermentation achievements, providing both a comparative and an overall integration analysis. The main aim is to highlight the relevance and versatility of the P. pastoris biosystem to the design of more cost-effective microfactories to meet the increasing demands for recombinant membrane proteins and clinical antibodies for several therapeutic applications.

Avian beta-defensin 9 (AvBD9) is a small cationic peptide consisting of 41 amino acids that plays a crucial rule in innate immunity and acquired immunity in chickens. Owing to its wide antibacterial spectrum, lack of a residue, and failure to induce bacterial drug resistance, AvBD9 is expected to become a substitute for conventional antibiotics in the livestock and poultry industries. Using the preferred codon of Pichia pastoris, the mature AvBD9 peptide was designed and synthesized, based on the sequence from GenBank. The P. pastoris constitutive expression vector pGHKα was used to construct a pGHKα-AvBD9 recombinant plasmid. Restriction enzyme digestion was performed using SacI and BglII to remove the ampicillin resistance gene, and the plasmid was electrotransformed into P. pastoris GS115. High-expression strains with G418 resistance were screened, and the culture supernatant was analyzed by Tricine-SDS-PAGE and western blot assay to identify target bands of about 6 kDa. A concentrate of the supernatant containing AvBD9 was used for determination of antimicrobial activity. The supernatant concentrate was effective against Escherichia coli, Salmonella paratyphi, Salmonella pullorum, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, and Enterobacter cloacae. The fermentation product of P. pastoris carrying the recombinant AvBD9 plasmid was adjusted to 1.0 × 10⁸ CFU/ml and added to the drinking water of white feather broilers at different concentrations. The daily average weight gain and immune organ indices in broilers older than 7 days were significantly improved by the AvBD9 treatment.
