Abstract
The influence of temperature and agitation on the growth of Escherichia coli expressing hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) in stirred tank bioreactor were investigated. The highest specific growth rate for E. coli (0.844 h-1) was achieved at a temperature of 37°C and an agitation speed of 250 rpm. The activation energy for the growth of the E. coli strain W31101Q in the stirred tank bioreactor was estimated to be 11 kcal/mol. The highest protein yield was achieved at a temperature of 44°C and an agitation speed of 250 rpm. The relative protein concentration at 44°C is 30 and 6% higher compared to that at 30 and 37°C, respectively.
