High cell density cultivation of <it>Escherichia coli </it>K4 in a microfiltration bioreactor: a step towards improvement of chondroitin precursor production
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The bacteria <it>Escherichia coli </it>K4 produces a capsular polysaccharide (K4 CPS) whose backbone is similar to the non sulphated chondroitin chain. The chondroitin sulphate is one of the major components of the extra-...
