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.

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.

Production of poly(3‐hydroxybutyric acid) by fed‐batch culture of Alcaligenes eutrophus with glucose concentration control

TL;DR: The final cell concentration, PHB concentration, and PHB productivity increased as ammonia feeding was stopped at a higher cell concentration and the effect of ammonium limitation on PHB synthesis at different culture phases was studied.

High Cell-Density Fermentation

TL;DR: The information in this chapter should enable a reader with little or no experience to perform a high-cell density fermentation of a P. pastoris expression strain to achieve high expression levels with almost any good-quality fermentor, modified to accommodate this organism.

Acetone and Butanol Production by Clostridium acetobutylicum in a Synthetic Medium.

TL;DR: The effect of the component concentrations of a synthetic medium on acetone and butanol fermentation by Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 was investigated and cell growth was dependent on the presence of Mg, Fe, and K in the medium.

Genetic algorithms in chemistry

TL;DR: The ability to search a large parameter space with no initial guesses per se, no derivatives of the objective function and to cope with local minima, make it a candidate method for several areas of chemistry.
