Popis: | The production of the capsular polysaccharide, polyribosylribitolphosphate, from Haemophilus influenzae type b is important for the production of effective conjugate vaccines. Factors limiting the production of this polysaccharide from H . influenzae type b in liquid culture were investigated. A fed-batch fermentation was developed that increased cell density and PRP titer approximately four fold when compared to the batch fermentation. This fed-batch process was successfully scaled from the 1.5 l development scale to the 500 l manufacturing scale. The maximum cell density in the 500 l fermentation was 6 g dry cell weight per liter and the PRP concentration was 1.3 g l −1 . |
