E. coli Fermentation for VLP Production

E. coli, a species of bacteria that is used in the production of vaccines for us Vaccines are unique medicines that help our bodies combat the disease. What they do is show our bodies a small part of the germ which makes us ill. Teeny tiny little bit like practice. This way our body has a chance of recognizing the germ in case we are exposed to it again. But how does E.coli come into making vaccines? It works through something called fermentation.

Virus-like particles (about as much fake virus you can make) They mimic real viruses pretty well, however at the end of the day non can do us any harm. They are safe for us and use to fight real viruses that would make our sick. One of the reasons wild type (WT) E. coli is such a good host for manufacturing many VLPs simultaneously, and from which we obtain near monomeric particles so quickly and economically to create vaccines.

Optimizing E. coli Fermentation for Enhanced VLP Yield

We can produce so many VLPs if we optimize the fermentation process. So, we can do a few things to give the bacteria some valuable pointers in that respect. Play a Game- Get into Nutrition with gutBuster One of the ways is to feed those bacteria. Similar to us needing nutritious food - we need a balanced diet of protein, carbohydrates (sugar), and fat in order for our muscles and organs the grow strong- so too do bacteria. We can increase the amount of VLPs produced by using specific foods that we know will be best utilized during fermentation.

While it is a better method to produce vaccines than E. coli fermentation, there are many remaining questions that you should take into account. E. coli is a bacterium and one problem facing this type of organism includes their ability to mutate and change properties over time. This means they may respond as though they are unique chemicals and so we cannot trust exactly how our VLPs will form every time.
