Project description:Understand the mechanisms of evolution in large-scale bio-production by tracking population dynamics leading to production decline in mevalonic acid-producing Escherichia coli. Industrial bioproduction entails growth of the production host to large bioreactors (e.g. 1-300 m3). This may put the organism at risk for generating non-producing subpopulations of genetic heterogeneity, which is not phenotypically detected at lab-scale (e.g. 2 L). To study these dynamics, we experimentally simulated these growth durations by passing mevalonic acid-producing E. coli to maintain the populations in exponential growth for 45 generations.
Project description:There is a significant demand for intermediate-scale bioreactors in academic and industrial institutions to produce cells for various applications in drug screening and/or cell therapy. However, the application of these bioreactors in cultivating hiPSC-derived immune cells and other blood cells is noticeably lacking. To address this gap, we have developed a xeno-free and chemically defined intermediate-scale bioreactor platform, which allows for the generation of standardized human iPSC-derived hematopoietic organoids and subsequent continuous production of macrophages (iPSC-Mac).
