Exopolysaccharide and extracellular metabolite production by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, grown on lactose in continuous culture.

Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus NCFB 2483, when grown on lactose in continuous culture, showed increasing specific yields and volumetric productivities of exopolysaccharide (EPS) with increasing dilution rate. Specific and volumetric productivities of lactate and galactose, as extracellular metabolites, increased in response to the incremental changes in the dilution rate up to 0.4 h(-1). Elevated Y(p/s) values determined for EPS (0.025 g EPS x g lactose(-1)) at the dilution rates of 0.3 h(-1)-0.4 h(-1), relative to those determined at lower dilution rates, suggest a diversion of carbon flux towards EPS being associated with the higher rates of growth.

Can Master Craftsmen be mass-produced?

Pharmaceutical companies have not realized the promised productivity gains from novel research technologies. Discovery 'industrialization' also demands profound changes to both people skills and organization for the benefits to be delivered.
