Purpose of Isolation and Purification of Microorganisms The process of isolation and purification is to obtain only one type or strain of microorganism from a mixed microbial population. In some bacterial assays, we often need to isolate and purify a particular target bacterium because multiple species are often present in the sample. Through isolation and purification, we are able to evaluate...

Filamentous fungi, such as Aspergillus, Trichoderma, and Penicillium species, are considered as unique cell factories for protein production due to the high efficiency of protein secretion and superior capability of post-translational modifications. Many species of filamentous fungi are generally regarded as safe (GRAS). Filamentous fungi have less extensive hyper-mannosylation of...
