Popis: This paper describes the test of several new vegetarian hydrolysates (peptones of soy, rice, wheat gluten etc.) as protein-free medium supplements for the production of a recombinant therapeutic protein. Multiple peptone-supplemented, continuous perfusion bioreactor experiments were conducted. Cell specific rates and product quality studies were obtained for the various peptones and compared with peptone-free medium. It was found that peptones confer a nutritional benefit, especially at low dilution rates, for a recombinant BHK cell line used in this investigation. The specific productivity increased 20–30% compared to the peptone-free controls. However, this benefit was also fully delivered by using fortified medium in place of the peptone-enriched media.
