Microbial Fermentation Of Proteinase K: Single-Use Vs. Stainless Steel

The Thermo Scientific™ HyPerforma™ Single-Use Fermentor (S.U.F.) is a unique and rigorous solution for microbial fermentation applications, offering the flexibility, ease of use, and efficiency found in single-use systems. This comparison of the HyPerforma S.U.F.s versus stainless steel fermentors demonstrates equivalent results, with the additional benefit of no fouling of the exhaust filter.

In this study, the native production and titer activity for secreted Proteinase K from Tritirachium album (T. album) during the course of an 11-day culture were compared between the S.U.F. and stainless steel fermentor systems.
