In this paper, the authors focus on the application, development, and practical considerations of fermentations in chemically defined media in an industrial environment and present a review of the application and process economics of such media.
Abstract
The use of chemically defined media is gaining popularity in some commercial fermentations, particularly for the preparation of biological products. Although these media are still not frequently developed for industrial processes, they do exhibit favorable characteristics at large scale that are not observed with traditional complex media. This review focuses on the application, development, and practical considerations, especially process economics, of fermentations in chemically defined media in an industrial environment.

Optimizing of Nutrients for High Level Expression of Recombinant Streptokinase Using pET32a Expression System.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that significant improvement in the streptokinase yield can be obtained by modifying the media and feeding of substrate and this results indicate that efficient process control strategy is important for the mass production of strePTokinase.

Growth characteristics of group A streptococci in a new chemically defined medium.

TL;DR: A new chemically defined medium for the growth of group A streptococci has been formulated and the production of virulence factors and extracellular enzymes during growth in this new medium was comparable to that in complex media.
