Objectives of the Course Gain hands-on experience on a typical cloning and expression of a gene.
Learn analytical techniques to analyze the expression of a protein and the production of a bioproduct.
Learn upstream and downstream bioprocess development for P. kudriavzevii biomass production.
Course Content This course focuses on the recombinant production of a bioproduct, in which students will gain hands-on experience in molecular biology and bioprocess engineering. Students will clone a gene of interest using PCR and insert it into an expression system to construct a plasmid. Then, the plasmid will be transformed into host bacteria for the expression and production of the bioproduct. The expression and production will be checked by SDS-PAGE and HPLC, respectively. Finally, students will scale up the production of a bioproduct in the bioreactor.
