Method Two clones of recombinant Escherichia coli BL21 strain from a LB agar plate were inoculated into two 300 ml flasks containing 50 ml LB media and incubated at 32 °C with shaking at 200 rpm for 10-12 h. Batch and fed-batch cultivations were carried out in an in situ autoclaved fermenter (volume of 12.8 l, Bioengineering Co. Switzerland) with 6 l initial media and 500 ml inoculum at 32 Batch and fed-batch cultivations were carried out in an in situ autoclaved fermenter (volume of 12.8 l, Bioengineering Co. Switzerland) with 6 l initial media and 500 ml inoculum at 32 °C with stirring at 300 rpm and 18 l/min aeration rate. Cell growth was measured turbidimetrically at 600 nm and converted to dry cell weight (DCW) by an appropriate calibration. The broth sample was centrifuged, washed with distilled water for three times, and dried in an oven at 105 °C until it became constant.
Comments Although the final biomass (around 69 g/L) was almost the same in all fed-batch cultures, the highest product concentration (13.6 g/l) was achieved at the specific growth rate of 0.15 1/h and the lowest (9.6 g/l) at 0.25 1/h.
