A new era for E. coli: Revolutionizing microbial bioproduction with chemically defined fermentation media

Despite the long-standing popularity of E. coli for microbial bioprocessing, the options for growth media have been traditionally limited. This media has often included animal origin (AO) components which can reduce batch-to-batch consistency and present safety risks to patients. Significant effort from across the industry has been focused on developing the first commercially available chemically defined microbial media.
