| Description |
Lecture topics include:
cell physiology and medium components
• fermentors and accessories, probes and instrumentation
• recombinant E. coli protein expression and fermentation
• oxygen consumption and transfer data analysis
• scale-up of fermentations: principles, practice and problems
• case studies illustrating how principles are applied in practice
Workshop laboratory sessions include
• assembly and disassembly of bench top fermentors (2-5 liter) from several different vendors
• sterilization procedures
• preparation of inoculums and inoculation
• process sampling
• measurement of optical density and glucose levels
• process control
• harvesting techniques.
Workshop laboratory sessions:
The workshop laboratory sessions take place in a newly renovated learning facility located within the University of Maryland Bioprocess Scale-up Facility (BSF) on the College Park campus. The BSF houses bioprocessing equipment for process development and optimization ranging from 1 L to 280 L. All workshop participants will examine and test large-scale fermentation equipment while they perform their own experiments on bench-top units provided by several vendors. The three-day format is fast-paced, but plenty of time has been allocated for discussion with workshop faculty.
Case Studies: In response to requests from past attendees, a series of case studies are being added to the curriculum so that participants may gain a greater understanding of how the principles of fermentation are applied in practice. Therefore, participants may choose a track that is more case study/applications intensive or a track that is more hands-on laboratory intensive (especially useful for those with limited experience with fermentors). Please see the complete workshop schedule for more details.
