Enzyme production refers to the methodical and multi-faceted process that involves the use of certain microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, and fungi to produce enzymes. These enzymes, which are protein molecules, act as catalysts for numerous biochemical reactions, making them indispensable in the biological world. They find extensive application in several industries, facilitating numerous processes.
Enzyme Production (Aneesa Fasim, et al., 2020)
Enzyme production relies on selecting an appropriate expression system based on the desired protein characteristics, scale of production, and downstream applications.
| Expression System | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Bacterial Expression Systems | Utilizes bacteria, such as E. coli, as hosts for enzyme production. Fast and cost-effective system commonly used for small to medium-scale production. | Rapid growth and high cell density.Simplicity and cost-effectiveness.Limited post-translational modifications.May lack eukaryotic-specific machinery. |
| Yeast Expression Systems | Employs yeast, often Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Pichia pastoris, as hosts. Suitable for producing eukaryotic proteins with proper folding and post-translational modifications. | Eukaryotic protein folding and post-translational modifications.Moderate growth rate and scalability.Higher complexity compared to bacteria.May require glycosylation engineering. |
| Mammalian Cell Expression Systems | Uses mammalian cells, such as CHO cells, HEK293, or NS0, to produce complex proteins with authentic post-translational modifications. Commonly chosen for therapeutic protein production. | Proper folding and extensive post-translational modifications.Suitable for producing biopharmaceuticals.Complex and time-consuming process.Higher production costs and lower yields. |
