In a collective manner DSP can be used as a term for the processes that
follows fermentation i.e.
• Cell harvesting.
• Cell disruption for intracellular proteins.
• Product purification from cell extracts or the growth medium
(culture supernatant)
• Confirmation of target protein recovery.
Fermentation
In context to industrial biotechnology, The industrial
microorganisms are grown under controlled conditions with an
aim of optimizing the growth of the organism or production of a
target microbial product.
Batch Fermentation
• Lag phase
• Exponential phase
• Stationary phase
• Death phase
Continuous Fermentation
• Fresh media supplied continuously
• Bioreactor fluid continuously removed, Cells receive fresh
medium continuously.
• Products and cells continuously removed for processing.
• Can be operated for longer periods.
Types of centrifuges
of size.
It involves passing a solution through a column (long tube) that
• SDS-PAGE
• 2D-PAGE
• Isoelectrofocussing
SDS-PAGE
SDS-PAGE, Sodium dodecyl polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis,
is a technique widely used in biochemistry, forensics, genetics
and molecular biology to separate proteins according to their
electrophoretic mobility
• Molecular weight
• Higher order protein folding
• Posttranslational modifications
The SDS gel electrophoresis of
samples having identical
charge to mass ratios results in
fractionation by size.
Isoelectric focussing
