Summary
During batch culture, buoyant density of recombinant E. coli cells increased linearly as inclusion body per cell increased. This indicated that buoyant density can be used to follow inclusion body formation. This will be helpful to optimize product formation because inclusion bodies are mostly composed of foreign poteins produced by recombinant microorganisms.
