Q
objectives of protein expressions in industrial production
A
- safe and contollable fermentation
- cheap fermentation
- high level of recombinant production (g/L not mg/L )
- Eady recovery of expressed proteins
- no degradation of expressed protein
4
Q
Microbial expression hosts E.coli Advantages and Disadvantages
A
numerous specific vectors ( Y phage and pUC plasmid derivatives ) - v high transformation efficiencies - v well understood fermentations - simple cell recovery and lysis DISADVANTAGES - not naturally competent -low expression yields - no glycolysation of r protein - rProtein not exported
