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.

Review of xanthan gum production from unmodified starches by Xanthomonas comprestris sp.

TL;DR: In this paper, the unstructured kinetics and the structured kinetics models were described in batch processes but the continuous kinetic model is insufficiently cared, and the problem of limited oxygen transfer suggests that a new bioreactor design is required.

Nitrogen regulation of avermectins biosynthesis in Streptomyces avermitilis in a chemically defined medium

TL;DR: Of various amino acids tested, lysine and asparagine were found to be the best for the biosynthesis of AVMs, which was significantly affected by the nitrogen source used.

Development of a defined medium and two-step culturing method for improved exotoxin A yields from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

TL;DR: Northern blot analysis of total RNA isolates suggests that these effects on exotoxin A yields are based on events at the transcription level, and several divalent metallic cations (Ca2+, Cu2+, and Mn2+), in addition to iron, were found to inhibit the yield of exotoxins A.

Hydraulic resistance and fouling of microfilters by Candida utilis in fermentation broth

TL;DR: The hydraulic resistance and membrane fouling effects of Candida utilis in fermentation broth were investigated using Millipore PVDF 0.22‐μm membranes (GVWP and GVHP) in a stirred‐cell system at 50 kPa and 700 rpm.
