Green fluorescent protein (GFP) and its variants /homolog proteins are generally called as GFP-like fluorescent proteins (FPs), which are widely used as visible molecular tools for monitoring a wide range of biological processes due to their capability of simple, accurate and real time quantification. The FPs-based molecular and visible quantification tools are giving more impact on bioprocess engineering, enabling the biomolecule-level dynamic information to be linked with the process-level events. In this review, different applications of FPs in biological engineering with emphasis on rapid molecular bioprocess quantification, such as quantification of the transcription efficiency, the protein production, the protein folding efficiency, the cell concentration, the intracellular microenvironments and so on, would be first introduced. The challenges of using FPs with respect to actual bioprocess applications for the precise quantification including the interaction of FPs and the fused partner proteins, the maturation of FPs, the inner filter effect and sensing technology were then discussed. Finally, the future development for the FPs used in molecular bioprocess quantification would be proposed.
[Objective] The aim was to study on the chlorella resistance to dehydration conditions and effect of different cryoprotecants on drying of chlorella cells.[Method]The protection effect of seven kinds of cryoprotecants on chlorella cells was analyzed.[Result]The protection effect of trehalose on chlorella cells was the best,and the survival rate of chlorella cells had improved by 50% with the applied trehalose concentration of 5%.[Conclusion]The result in this study had important guidance effect on the mutation breeding of chlorella.
