Session 14: Strain Selection for Successful Fermentation Scale-Up
Tuesday, July 22, 2014: 1:00 PM-4:30 PM
Regency Ballroom A, Second Floor (St. Louis Hyatt Regency at the Arch)
Conveners:
Kirsten R. Benjamin - Amyris Inc., Emeryville, CA and Amoolya Singh - Amyris Inc., Emeryville, CA
A crucial challenge in industrial microbiology is how to choose the best manufacturing strains based on phenotypic characterizations of strains grown in flasks or plates. This session will cover approaches to micro-scale assay development, selection of strains to test and scale-up, how many replicates need to be tested and at what scale, when to discard candidates, and how to statistically monitor strain selection processes.
