Discussion 1: Zeocin

  Question: How Zeocin works? *Sung-Hye Grieco 11:34, 11 August 2010 (EDT):

Zeocin (copper chelated glycopeptide antibiotic) belongs to the bleomycin/ phleomycin family of antibiotics. It acts on mammalian, insect cells, yeast, bacteria and plants via intercalating into DNA and cleaving it, thereby causing cell death. The Sh ble gene gives resistance to Zeocin. The gene product binds to Zeocin and therefore inhibits its intercalation into the DNA.

Discussion 2: Media-related

  Question: Why we use MD media in the begining and then change to BMGY? *Sung-Hye Grieco 12:53, 11 August 2010 (EDT):

Apparently minimal media selects for double auxotrophs ? Maybe rich media loosens the selection criteria and allows one of the picZ insertions on the diploid chromosome to be dumped ? so by selecting on MD you are pickingdouble transformants in which chromosomal integration has taken place on both genomes ? Just a thought ... (Raj)*Sung-Hye Grieco 13:54, 17 August 2010 (EDT):

Discussion 3: Media-related

  Question: Why would Fermenter #3 (the Defined Medium) have more optimal growth than Fermenter #2
            again? Fermenter #2 is predicted to perform better than #1 because it has the feedback.*Shiau-Yun Tang 20:27, 11 August 2010 (EDT):

Becasue Fermentation strategy using define medium (Fermenter #3) includs Fed-Batch with Glycerol. If Glycerol is fed in growth-limiting rate, it increases biomass and also primes methanol-utilization pathway enzymes before induction. Feed rate and feed time will depend on the desired cell density and the end of the glycerol fed batch phase, which may vary from 150 to 450 WCW/L, and should be optimized based on teh production time course. Reference: Pichia Protocols, 2nd edition, p47 *Sung-Hye Grieco 19:12, 13 August 2010 (EDT):


Follow up:

 Recently, Project BROM-A19, produced a record-breaking amount of human Cathepsin K!  
 We procuded roughly 160 mg from 5-L Defined media.  
 The protocol was same but with slight modification of base and it seems that timing of Fed-Batch plaied a quite important role.
