Description
Fermentation‑based protein synthesis uses engineered or traditional microbes to produce high‑value proteins from carbohydrate substrates.
Technical
During fermentation, microbes metabolize sugars, generating ATP and amino acids that are assembled into proteins via ribosomal translation. The process is regulated by temperature, pH, oxygen, and nutrient feed, enabling yields of tens of grams per liter. Precise control of these variables is essential to prevent protein denaturation and contamination.
