Abstract
The sweet-tasting protein brazzein offers considerable potential as a functional sweetener with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-allergic properties. Here, we optimized a chemically defined medium to produce secretory recombinant brazzein in Kluyveromyces lactis, with applications in mass production. Compositions of defined media were investigated for two phases of fermentation: the first phase for cell growth, and the second for maximum brazzein secretory production. Secretory brazzein expressed in the optimized defined medium exhibited higher purity than in the complex medium; purification was by ultrafiltration using a molecular weight cutoff, yielding approximately 107 mg L-1. Moreover, the total media cost in this defined medium system was approximately 11% of that in the optimized complex medium to generate equal amounts of brazzein. Therefore, the K. lactis expression system is useful for mass-producing recombinant brazzein with high purity and yield at low production cost and indicates a promising potential for applications in the food industry.

Abstract
Lipolytic enzymes with cold adaptation are gaining increasing interest due to their biotechnological prospective. Previously, a cold adapted family I.3 lipase (AMS8 lipase) was isolated from an Antarctic Pseudomonas. AMS8 lipase was largely expressed in insoluble form. The refolded His-tagged recombinant AMS8 lipase was purified with 23.0% total recovery and purification factor of 9.7. The purified AMS8 lipase migrated as a single band with a molecular weight approximately 65kDa via electrophoresis. AMS8 lipase was highly active at 30°C at pH 10. The half-life of AMS8 lipase was reported at 4 and 2h under the incubation of 30 and 40°C, respectively. The lipase was stable over a broad range of pH. It showed enhancement effect in its relative activity under the presence of Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+ and Cs+ after 30min treatment. Heavy metal ions such as Cu2+, Fe3+ and Zn2+ inhibited AMS8 activity. This cold adapted alkalophilic AMS lipase was also active in various organic solvent of different polarity. These unique properties of this biological macromolecule will provide considerable potential for many biotechnological applications and organic synthesis at low temperature.

Abstract
Experimental elucidation of the metabolic load placed on bacteria by the expression of foreign protein is presented. The host/vector system is Escherichia coli RR1/pBR329 (amp(r), cam(r), and let(r)). Plasmid content results, which indicate that the plasmid copy number monotonically increases with decreasing growth rate, are consistent with the literature on ColE1-like plasmids. More significantly, we have experimentally quantified the reduction in growth rate brought about by the expression of chloramphenicol-acetyl-transferase (CAT) and beta-lactamase. Results indicate a nearly linear decrease in growth rate with increasing foreign protein content. Also, the change in growth rate due to foreign protein expression depends on the growth rate of the cells. The observed linear relationship is media independent and, to our knowledge, previously undocumented. Furthermore, the induction of CAT, mediated by the presence of chloramphenicol, is shown to occur only at low growth rates, which further increases the metabolic load.Results are vdelineated with the aid of a structured kinetic model representing the metabolism of recombinant E. coli. In this article, several previous hypotheses and model predictions are justified and validated. This work provides an important step in the development of comprehensive, methabolically-structured, kinetic models capable of prediciting optimal conditions for maximizing product yield.

Abstract
Optimal operating conditions have been determined for recombinant Escherichia coli cells in a fed-batch and two-stage continuous fermentors. The model expression system used in this article was the E. coli trp promoter cloned on plasmids. Model equations for cell growth and cloned-gene expression have been formulated and used to evaluate process performances under different operating modes. The operating variables manipulated for maximum performance include the timing of IAA addition to derepress transcription from the trp promoter. The total operating period and the nutrient concentration profile during fermentations. For a fed-batch mode, the performance was significantly improved by adjusting the IAA addition (environmental switch) time relative to the total operation period. It was found that the optimal switching time exists for a given total operation period. For a two-stage continuous fermentation system, the productivity is more sensitive to the combination of the dilution rates than to the volume ratio of two reactors. In general, as long as the down time is less than the total operation time in the fed-batch mode, the fed-batch mode gives higher productivity than the two-stage continuous system.

Abstract
The expression of a foreign protein(s) in a recombinant host cell or organism often utilizes a significant amount of the host cell's resources, removing those resources away from host cell metabolism and placing a metabolic load (metabolic drain, metabolic burden) on the host. As a consequence of the imposed metabolic load, the biochemistry and physiology of the host may be dramatically altered. The numerous physiological changes that may occur often lowers the amount of the target foreign protein that is produced and eventually recovered from the recombinant organism. In this review the physiological changes to host cells, the causes of the phenomenon of metabolic load, and several strategies to avoid some of the problems associated with metabolic load are elaborated and discussed.

Abstract
The effects of residual catabolite repression and the importance of induction timing were determined for a temperature-sensitive (ts) GAL-regulated stable yeast expression system. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain employed carries a reg1 mutation inhibiting catabolite repression, and a ts mutation enabling induction of the regulated GAL promoters by a temperature shift to 35 degrees C. Despite the reg1 mutation and induction method, glucose depressed lacZ expression from a GAL1 promoter during batch culture. beta-Galactosidase specific activity was consistently lower at higher initial glucose concentrations in both SDC (semi-defined) and YPDa (complex) media; decreases of 18-36% were observed as glucose concentration was increased between 1, 3, 5, and 10 g l-1. However, the reductions in beta-galactosidase specific activity due to residual catabolite repression were more than balanced by substantial improvements in biomass yield at higher glucose levels. Therefore, productivity rose with increasing glucose concentration; in YPDa medium, increasing initial glucose from 1 to 10 g l-1 resulted in a 2.6-fold increase in beta-galactosidase volumetric activity. Due to the negative effects of shifting temperature to 35 degrees C, the trade-offs between optimum growth and a lengthy induction period were also evaluated. Delaying the time of induction reduced final specific activities but improved cell yield, and waiting 14 h into batch culture to induce lacZ expression provided modest 9-15% improvements in overall productivity.
