The road to animal-free glycosaminoglycan production: current efforts and bottlenecks.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Animal-extraction, despite its limitations, continues to monopolize the fast-growing glycosaminoglycan (GAG) industry. The past few years have seen an increased interest in the development of alternative GAG production methods. Chemical and chemo-enzymatic synthesis and biosynthesis from GAG producing cells, including engineered recombinant strains, are currently under investigation. Despite achieving considerable successes, these alternate approaches cannot yet meet worldwide demands for these important polysaccharides. Bottlenecks associated with achieving high-titers need to be addressed using newly developed tools. Several parameters including chassis choice, analytics, intracellular precursor synthesis, enzyme engineering and use of synthetic biology tools need to be optimized. We envision that new engineering approaches together with advances in the basic biology and chemistry of GAGs will move GAG production beyond its currently limited supply chain.

Improving for Drum_Buffer_Rope material flow management with attention to second bottlenecks and free goods in a job shop environment
Drum–Buffer–Rope is a theory of constraints production planning methodology that operates by developing a schedule for the system’s first bottleneck. The first bottleneck is the bottleneck with the highest utilization. In the theory of constraints, any job that is not processed at the first bottleneck is referred to as a free good. Free goods do not use capacity at the first bottleneck, so very...
