TLDR
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.

Hydrolysates from Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) viscera as components of microbial growth media

TL;DR: Three hydrolysates made from cod viscera by different enzymatic hydrolysis procedures were tested as a combined source for nitrogen, amino acids and vitamins in microbial growth media and the generally best enzyme for production of a fish peptone from cod Viscera was found to be Alcalase.

Bioprocess engineering issues that would be faced in producing a DNA vaccine at up to 100 m3 fermentation scale for an influenza pandemic.

TL;DR: This approach addresses the uncertainty of timing of a pandemic that precludes purpose‐built facilities and concludes that such processing would be challenging but feasible.

Development of chemically defined medium for Mannheimia succiniciproducens based on its genome sequence

TL;DR: A novel methodology for the development of a chemically defined medium (CDM) using genome-scale metabolic network and flux balance analysis and an optimal CDM for the enhancement of cell growth and succinic acid production was formulated with a single-addition technique.

Sequential Application of Simplex Designs in Optimisation and Evolutionary Operation

TL;DR: A technique for empirical optimisation is presented in which a sequence of experimental designs each in the form of a regular or irregular simplex is used, each simplex having all vertices but one in common with the preceding simplex, and being completed by one new point.

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.
