Microbial bioprocess

This research that was conducted at the Technical University of Munich, where scientists utilized an INFORS HT Techfors pilot bioreactor to evaluate and refine the expression of L-cysteine (amino acid widely used in pharmaceutical, food, feed, and cosmetic industries) synthases, achieving a productivity improvement of ~70%.
