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.

Developments in industrially important thermostable enzymes: a review.

TL;DR: The source microorganisms and properties of thermostable starch hydrolysing amylases, xylanases, cellulases, chitinases, proteases, lipases and DNA polymerases are discussed and the industrial needs for such specific thermostably enzyme and improvements required to maximize their application in the future are suggested.

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.

Studies on production of thermostable alkaline protease from thermophilic and alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. JB-99 in a chemically defined medium

TL;DR: The thermophilic and alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. JB-99 was isolated from sugarcane molasses and was cultured in 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks containing 50 ml of synthetic medium consisting of (g/l): citric acid; 10.0, NaNO 3 ; 10.

Precursor directed biosynthesis of aureobasidins.

TL;DR: The constituent amino acids of AbA at positions 3, 5 and 8 were replaced by respective analogous amino acids such as o-fluoro-L-phenylalanine, 4-hydroxy- L-proline, L-norleucine and L-Norvaline, resulting in the production of eight new Ab analogs.

High cell density fermentation of recombinant Escherichia coli with computer-controlled optimal growth rate.

TL;DR: A high cell density fermentation process is developed that produces E. coli (on a glucose/mineral salt medium) up to more than 100 g dry cells/L in a special fed-batch mode and an example of the production of alpha1-interferon is presented.

A defined medium for rumen bacteria and identification of strains impaired in de novo biosynthesis of certain amino acids

TL;DR: A completely defined growth medium has been developed to determine the nitrogen requirements for several species of ruminal bacteria, and has revealed two strains which are impaired in de novo biosynthesis of certain amino acids.

Simplified Media for the Growth of Haemophilus influenzae from Clinical and Normal Flora Sources

Richard D. Klein, +1 more
- 01 Aug 1979 - 
TL;DR: The nutritional requirements of 43 strains of Haemophilus influenzae isolated from clinical and normal flora sources were investigated and two defined minimal media were developed by modifying the medium of Herriott et al. (1970).

Complete defined medium for large-scale production of polysaccharide bioabsorbent from Alcaligenes latus B-16

TL;DR: A complete medium not including yeast extract for industrial production of a biopolymer by Alcaligenes latus B-16 was developed and Glycine and iron ion were effective substitutes for yeast extract.
