The GFP fermentation process really begins with the expansion of our bacteria seed stock.

A sample of modified E-coli is taken from the freezer and thawed. It’s used to inoculate a small amount of fresh media in a shaker flask. The media provides the nutrition the cell needs to grow.

When the cells have grown and consumed most of the nutrients, they’re transferred to a larger vessel with more growth media, and the process repeats...This scaling-up is complete when the number of cells is large and healthy enough to transfer into a production vessel – often we call that a bioreactor or fermenter.
