In this program, we'll look at the production of Green Fluorescent Protein. GFP is used as a biological marker, and when attached to a drug it can provide researchers with a visual story of where the drug goes. It's a fluorescent dye that's very well tolerated by most cells and doesn't interfere with normal cellular function. Let's examine the 3 main phases of GFP production – Fermentation, Recovery, and Purification. Fermentation is basically cell farming. We program cells to produce a product, we nurture them as they grow and reproduce, and then we harvest them. In recovery we separate our product from the cells where they were housed. And then in purification we go a step further by removing everything else that's contaminating our product leaving us with a very pure, concentrated solution.

After the second homogenization, the lysed cell solution is pumped back through the centrifuge. But this time, our goal is different. Before lysing, our product was held within the E.coli cells. Now – with the cells broken apart, the cell contents - including cytoplasm and GFP - are mixed into the buffered solution. The centrifuge again spins out the solids - which are primarily cell debris - and it's the clarified liquid which contains our product – the GFP! This time we discard the solids and keep the liquid – which is now known as Lysate.

Different cells have different needs. Some are aerobic – they need oxygen – while others are anaerobic and don't need oxygen. But the lifecycle of almost all cells follows a predictable 4 phase-pattern. Lag, Exponential, Stationary and Death. When a cell is first introduced to fresh growth media, it has to adapt to the new environment. This creates a lag in the growth timeline. After the organism adapts, the batch takes off. The cells begin dividing at a constant rate –an Exponential or Logarithmic increase. But eventually, the nutrients in the media are consumed, toxic metabolic waste products build up, cells begin to die, and growth slows. When just as many cells are dying as are dividing, the batch enters the Stationary phase. This is the point at which the key nutrients are completely consumed, the fermentation is stopped and the broth is harvested. If the fermentation were allowed to continue, the cells would enter the Death phase.
