Thanks to new technology, perfusion-culture processes can support higher cell densities, higher productivities and longer process times. However, due to the inherent operational complexity and high running costs, the development and design of perfusion-culture processes remain challenging. Here, we present a model-based approach to design optimized perfusion cultures of Chinese Hamster Ovary cells. Initially, four batches of bench-top reactor continuous-perfusion-culture data were used to fit the model parameters. Then, we proposed the model-based process design approach, aiming to quickly find out the “theoretically optimal” operational parameters combinations (perfusion rate and the proportion of feed medium in perfusion medium) which could achieve the target steady-state VCD while minimizing both medium cost and perfusion rate during steady state. Meanwhile, we proposed a model-based dynamic operational parameters-adjustment strategy to address the issue of cell-growth inhibition due to the high osmolality of concentrated perfusion medium. In addition, we employed a dynamic feedback control method to aid this strategy in preventing potential nutrient depletion scenarios. Finally, we test the feasibility of the model-based process design approach in both shake flask semi-perfusion culture (targeted at 5 × 10<sup>7</sup> cells/ml) and bench-top reactor continuous perfusion culture (targeted at 1.1 × 10<sup>8</sup> cells/ml). This approach significantly reduces the number of experiments needed for process design and development, thereby accelerating the advancement of perfusion-mode cell-culture processes.</p>","PeriodicalId":9024,"journal":{"name":"Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142204875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many antibiotics usually left in factory or aquaculture wastewater pollute the environment, so it is vital to detect the content of antibiotics in wastewater. This article summarizes several common methods of antibiotic detection and pretreatment steps. The detection methods of antibiotics in wastewater mainly include immunoassay, instrumental analysis method, and sensor. Studies have shown that immunoassay can detect deficient concentrations of antibiotics, but it is affected by external factors leading to errors. The detection speed of the instrumental analysis method is fast, but the repeatability is poor, the price is high, and the operation is complicated. The sensor is a method that is currently increasingly studied, including electrochemical sensors, optical sensors, biosensors, photoelectrochemical sensors, and surface plasmon resonance sensors. It has the advantages of fast detection speed, high accuracy, and strong sensitivity. However, the reproducibility and stability of the sensor are poor. At present, there is no method that can comprehensively integrate the advantages. This paper aims to review the enrichment and detection methods of antibiotics in wastewater from 2020 to the present.

Hence, the current study emphasized a bottom-up synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) from Psidium guajava aqueous leaf extract and evaluation of its biological properties. The structural characteristic features of biosynthesized ZnO NPs were confirmed using various analytical methods, such as UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). The synthesized ZnO NPs exhibited a hydrodynamic shape with an average particle size of 11.6-80.2 nm. A significant antimicrobial efficiency with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of 40 and 27 µg/ml for Enterococcus faecalis, followed by 30 and 40 µg/ml for Staphylococcus aureus, 20 and 30 µg/ml for Staphylococcus mutans, 30 µg/ml for Candida albicans was observed by ZnO NPs.
