Microbial Cells
Microbial cell factories - beòcarta’s experience
In collaboration with biomanufacturers, beòcarta has worked in Europe, the United States, India, Japan and Korea on microbial processes for:
- Enzymes (proteases, amylases, glucoamylases, cellulases)
- Enzyme inhibitors, including clavulanic acid and acarbose
- Penicillins G and V
- Chlortetracycline and demethylchlorteracycline
- Erythromycin
- Vancomyin family antibiotics
- Vitamin B2 and B5
- Amino acids
- Novel anti-fungal agents and other bioactives
- Nucleosides
Metabolic analysis has been applied to scales as small as shake flasks to industrial fermentors to provide a detailed understanding of how processes change and why new strains sometimes fail to surmount those changes as fermentations and their physical parameters evolve from the laboratory to the production site.
