Recombinant protein production by a genetically modified Escherichia coli strain is proportional to cell growth. Ammonia is used as a nitrogen source for aerobic glucose respiration. The recombinant protein has the general formula CH1,55O0,31N0,25, while that of the cellular biomass is CH1,77O0,49N0,24. The biomass yield from glucose equals 0.50 g/g, while the recombinant protein yield from glucose corresponds to 20% of the cell yield from substrate.a) How much ammonia is required? What is the oxygen demand? (b) If the biomass yield remains the same, what are the ammonia and oxygen requirements for a wild-type strain of E. coli, with cell biomass of the same elemental composition, but unable to synthesize the recombinant protein? (c) On an industrial scale, cultivation takes place in a continuous fermenter at 28°C and the desired recombinant protein production rate is 7 g/h. Since the viscosity of the culture broth is considerable, the energy input due to agitation cannot be neglected.…

Production of a recombinant protein by E. coli is proportional to cell growth. Ammonia is used as a source of N and glucose as a source of C, under aerobic conditions. The recombinant protein has a general formula CH1.55N0.31O0.25 and the cell CH1.77N0.4900.24. The yield of biomass from glucose is 0.48 gcel/gglic, and the yield of recombinant protein from glucose is about 20% of that for biomass.a) How much ammonia is needed to produce 50 g of cells producing the recombinant protein?b) What is the oxygen demand in this process?c) For the cultivation of a wild E. coli not producing the recombinant protein, how different would the ammonia and oxygen demand be if the biomass yield remained at 0.48 gcel/gglyc ?

A purified recombinant protein is analyzed for molecular weight by SDS-PAGE at pH 8.5. From the protein sequence deduced from the gene that was expressed in bacteria, the protein is expected to have a molecular weight of 44,000.

What calculation could you make to help explain this discrepancy?
