Notes:
A 1000 liter fermentor has been used to produce a continuous feed of Escherichia coli containing a high level of β-galactosidase. We have investigated the individual unit operations for the isolation of the enzyme: cell disruption, nucleic acid removal, protein precipitation, and solid-liquid separation after each stage. Using the information obtained we have been able to operate a semicontinuous process which when fully continuous would yield 100 g protein/hr, comprising 23% β-galactosidase.
