    Notes: The Model presented in this work demonstrates the combination of cell-cycle model with a model describing the growth and conversion kinetics of hybridoma cells in a steady-state continuous culture. The cell-cycle model is based upon a population balance model as described by Cazzador et al. and assumes the existence of a cycling-and apoptotic-cell population, which together form the viable-cell population. In this part the fraction of apoptotic cells, the age distribution of the cycling and apoptotic-cell population, the mean volume and biomass content per cell of the cycling, apoptotic, and viable cells, and the specific growth and death rates of the cells are calculated. The metabolic part consists of a Monod-type growth equation, four elemental balances, an equation assuming a constant yield of ammonia on glutamine, an equation for product formation, and the relation of Glacken for energy production. Furthermore, a maintenance-energy model for the consumption of glucose and glutamine is introduced, which combines the approaches of Herbert and Pirt into one model in a way similar to Beeftink et al. For energy consumption a Pirt model is assumed. The model is capable of predicting trends in steady-state vaues of a large number of variables of interest like specific growth rate, specific death rate, viability, cell numbers, mean viable-cell volume, and concentrations and conversion rates of product, glucose, glutamine, lactate, and ammonia. Also the concentrations and conversion rates of oxygen and carbon dioxide are qualitatively predicted. The values of the model predictions are generally close to experimental data obtained from literature. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: On-line, “real-time” monitoring of product concentration is important for mammalian cell culture fermentation. The continuous measurement of monoclonal antibodies allows for instantaneous determination of cell productivity and effective manipulation of the fermentor operating conditions for optimal production. This article will present the evaluation and application of a BioCad/RPM system (Per Septive Biosystems) for rapid analysis of lgG concentration for hybridoma cell cultivation. Several commercial crossflow filtration devices are tested for low protein retention and fouling properties. A protein G column is used successfully for analyzing about 400 samples of lgG1, without significant loss in separation efficiency. The Immuno Detection system is integrated into a computer-controlled 15-L fermentor. This fermentor could be operated in batch and perfusion modes with cell densities up to 20 million cells/mL. A continuous cell-free sample stream obtained by a hollow fiber filter system is introduced to the BioCad/RPM for analysis. The speed of this system allows for real-time monitoring even at high densities with fast dynamics. A murine hybridoma cell (A10G10) is cultivated in batch and continuous reactors and antibody concentration is measured continuously with complete sterility. The results are compared to offline measurements with good agreement. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A procedure was developed for construction of industrial strains of distiller's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). It includes several steps: construction of congenic genetically marked haploid strains of opposite mating types starting from an industrial strain of hybrid nature, integrative transformation of the above haploid strains with a DNA fragment containing an expression cassette responsible for new technological facilities, and hybridization of transformants and isolation of final industrial homozygous strains under experimental conditions simulating commercial fermentation processes. This strategy permits the generation of strains that have desirable characteristics of traditional races of distiller's yeast along with new technological facilities determined by the particular expression cassette. Using this procedure, we have constructed an industrial strain with improved amylolytic activity. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Kinetic comparisons have been made between a randomly immobilized and a site-specifically immobilized subtilisin BPN′ on microfiltration membranes of varying hydrophilicities in both aqueous and organic media. Site-directed mutagenesis was employed to introduce a single cysteine into the amino acid sequence of subtilisin at a location away from the active site. Immobilization of this mutant enzyme was then carried out using the single cysteine residue to orient the active site of the enzyme away from the membrane surface. Kinetic comparison of the immobilized mutant enzyme with the randomly immobilized wild-type enzyme in aqueous media showed an activity enhancement on both hydrophilic silica-containing and hydrophobic poly(ether)sulfone membranes. Higher loading efficiencies were observed for the site-directed enzyme on immobilization. Optimal enzyme loading values were calculated for the randomly immobilized enzyme. An enhancement of activity was also observed for the site-directed immobilized systems using nearly anhydrous hexane as the solvent. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The gene encoding inulase of the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus (INU1Km) was cloned and expressed in the inulin-negative yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Cells of S. cerevisiae transformed with the INU1Km gene have acquired extracellular inulase activity and were able to grow in the medium with inulin as a sole carbon source. The S. cerevisiae strain was constructed that is capable of heterologous expression of secreted K. marxianus inulase and is defective in fructose uptake due to null-mutations of the hexokinase structural genes HXK1 and HXK2. When grown in inulin-containing media, this strain is capable of accumulating at least 10% glucose-free fructose in the culture liquid. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: On-line monitoring and control of cell culture fermentation is important for optimal and consistent production of biologicals. In this work, glucose and lactate concentrations are monitored on-line using a commercially available analyzer (Model 2700, Yellow Springs Instruments, Yellow Springs, OH) during batch and perfusion hybridoma cell fermentation. Cell free samples from the reactor are obtained using a 0.45 μm hollow fiber filtering system placed in a circulation loop. The samples were analyzed at specified times and the data are collected on a computer. A process control strategy was developed to control the concentrations of glucose and lactate in a perfusion reactor where the feed rate is adjusted to maintain their concentrations at desired set points. Hybridoma cells (A10G10) were cultivated in a high density perfusion culture where cell density increased from 2 to 14 million cells/mL. During this period the control algorithm successfully adjusted the perfusion rate while maintaining constant glucose and lactate concentrations. Glucose consumption and lactate accumulation rates as well as net lactate yield on glucose were monitored continuously during perfusion culture. These metabolic rates were observed to be independent of cell concentration and were used for the estimation of viable cell density in the reactor. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris can be used to express recombinant genes at high levels under the control of the methanol-inducible alcohol oxidase 1 (AOX1) promoter. Accurate regulation of the methanol concentration in P. pastoris cultures is necessary to maintain induction, while preventing accumulation of methanol to cytotoxic levels. We developed an inexpensive methanol sensor that uses a gas-permeable silicone rubber tube immersed in the culture medium and an organic solvent vapor detector. The sensor was used to monitor methanol concentration continuously throughout a fed-batch shake-flask culture of a P. pastoris clone producing the N-lobe of human transferrin. The sensor calibration was stable for the duration of the culture and the output signal accurately reflected the methanol concentration determined off-line by HPLC. A closed-loop control system utilizing this sensor was developed and used to maintain a 0.3% (v/v) methanol concentration in the culture. Use of this system resulted in a fivefold increase in volumetric protein productivity over levels obtained using the conventional fed-batch protocol. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A strain of Pseudomonas putida harboring plasmids RK2 and pDLB101 was exposed to a pure culture biofilm of Bacillus azotoformans grown in a rotating annular reactor under three different concentrations of the limiting nutrient, succinate. Experimental results demonstrated that the broad host range RSF1010 derivative pDLB101 was transferred to and expressed by B. azotoformans. At the lower concentrations, donor mediated plasmid transfer increased with increasing nutrient levels, but the highest nutrient concentration yielded the lowest rate of donor to recipient plasmid transfer. For transconjugant initiated transfer, the rate of transfer increased with increasing nutrient concentrations for all cases. At the lower nutrient concentrations, the frequency of plasmid transfer was higher between donors and recipients than between transconjugants and recipients. The reverse was true at the highest succinate concentration. The rates and frequencies of plasmid transfer by mobilization were compared to gene exchange by retrotransfer. The initial rate of retrotransfer was slower than mobilization, but then increased dramatically. Retrotransfer produced a plasmid transfer frequency more than an order of magnitude higher than simple mobilization. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 57: 272-279, 1998.

    Notes: A strain of Pseudomonas putida that harbors plasmids RK2 and pDLB101 was exposed to a pure culture biofilm of Bacillus azotoformans grown in a rotating annular reactor. Transfer of the RK2 mobilizable pDLB101 plasmid to B. azotoformans was monitored over a 4-day period. Experimental results demonstrated that the broad host range, RSF1010 derivative pDLB101 was transferred to and expressed by B. azotoformans. In the companion article to this work, the rate of plasmid transfer was quantified as a function of the limiting nutrient, succinate, and as a function of the mechanism of transfer. A biofilm process simulation program (AQUASIM) was modified to analyze resultant experimental data. Although the AQUASIM package was not designed to simulate or predict genetic events in biofilms, modification of the rate process dynamics allowed successful modeling of plasmid transfer. For the narrow range of substrate concentrations used in these experiments, nutrient level had only a slight effect on the rate and extent of plasmid transfer in biofilms. However, further simulations using AQUASIM revealed that under nutrient poor conditions, the number of transconjugants appearing in the biofilm was limited. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The murine B-lymphocyte hybridoma, CC9C10 was grown at steady state under serum-free conditions in continuous culture at dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in the range of 10% to 150% of air saturation. Cells could be maintained with this range at high viability in a steady state at a dilution rate of 1 d-1, although with lower cell concentrations at higher DO. A higher specific antibody production measured at higher DO was matched by a decrease in the viable cell concentration at steady state, so that the volumetric antibody titre was not changed significantly. An attempt to grow cells at 250% of air saturation was unsuccessful but the cells recovered to normal growth once the DO was decreased.There was a requirement for cellular adaptation at each step-wise increase in dissolved oxygen. Adaptation to a DO of 100% was associated with an increase in the specific activities of glutathione peroxidase (×18), glutathione S-transferase (×11) and superoxide dismutase (×6) which are all known antioxidant enzymes. At DO above 100%, the activities of GPX and GST decreased possibly as a result of inactivation by reactive oxygen radicals.The increase in dissolved oxygen concentration caused changes in energy metabolism. The specific rate of glucose uptake increased at higher dissolved oxygen concentrations with a higher proportion of glucose metabolized anaerobically. Short-term radioactive assays showed that the relative flux of glucose through glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway increased whereas the flux through the tricarboxylic acid cycle decreased at high DO. Although the specific glutamine utilization rate increased at higher DO, there was no evidence for a change in the pattern of metabolism. This indicates a possible blockage of glycolytic metabolites into the TCA cycle, and is compatible with a previous suggestion that pyruvate dehydrogenase is inhibited by high oxygen concentrations.Analysis of the oxygen uptake rate of cell suspensions at steady state under all conditions showed a pronounced Crabtree effect which was manifest by a decrease (up to 40%) in oxygen consumption on addition of glucose. This indicates that the degree of aerobic metabolism in these cultures is highly sensitive to the glucose concentration. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 54: 153-164, 1997.
