About this document

E. Coli Fermentation for Isoprene Production by LAURA DAYANA ROCHA PLAZAS is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes a student design project for producing isoprene through fermentation of E. coli. The students designed a process using 3 pre-seed, 3 seed, and 5 production fermenters operating continuously for 72 hours each. Isoprene was purified from the fermentation broth using absorption, stripping, and flash separation. While the design was technically feasible, an economic analysis found that the process was not profitable given current market prices for isoprene and glucose. Production costs
