Abstract
Within this contribution we use a mechanistic model to optimize the feed addition and harvest time point of the induction phase of a recombinantly produced protein in E. coli. The model includes the metabolic load of the forced product formation and its effects on the production rate as well as the biomass conversion yield. The model was fitted to three experiments with different constant substrate feed rates during the production phase. Under usage of the calibrated model, optimal substrate addition and harvest time points with the objective to improve the time-space yield were determined. In addition, a constant feed rate was compared to an increasing feed rate with the aim to maintain a constant biomass specific substrate uptake. Different optimal combinations were identified and compared considering time and resource efficiency. The work shows how recombinant protein production and the inevitable metabolic load can be incorporated into a simple mechanistic model. Once calibrated to a limited number of experiments the model is suited for the design of a resource and time optimal induction phase. Future experiments and uncertainty analysis will show how well the model predicted the real optimal operating points.
