Conventional Methods of Microbial Cell Disruption Microbial intracellular proteins with catalytic or biological activity are of great importance to the biotechnology industry. The release of these proteins and enzymes from their microbial hosts is a key unit operation in the manufacture of recombinant proteins such as biosynthetic insulin.
Figure 1. Methods of microbial cell disruption (Geciova J., 2002) Different cells have different structures; hence they require different methods for disruption. Cell walls act as additional disruption deterrents, with yeast cells being particularly difficult to disrupt, as the cell wall limits the solvents access to the desired products.
12/11/2018· Cell lysis or disruption can be carried out by digestive enzymes which will decompose the microbial cell wall. Different cell types and strains have a different kind if cell walls and membranes. Thus, the enzyme to be used also depends on the cell type and strain. Lysozyme is a commonly used enzyme to digest the cell wall of gram-positive bacteria.

Cell Disruption is a process of releasing the biological content from a cell or a process of obtaining intracellular fluid via methods that opens up cell wall. An overall goal in cell disruption is to obtain intracellular fluid without disrupting any of its components. It is of two types: Mechanical and Non-mechanical. Mechanical method of cell disruption can be divided into solid shear ...

Cell Disruption Recent developments in biotechnology and genetic engineering have produced many products from microorganisms. Most of these products (proteins and enzymes) are intracellular and need to be released from the interior of the cell. Cell disruption (CD) techniques for breaking cell walls have been studied for many years.
The development of expression systems for large recombinant proteins which cannot be secreted by the host microbial cells necessitates the development of novel techniques for cell disruption. The use of enzyme systems which provide biological specificity to the process of cell lysis and disruption shows tremendous promise as a method of controlled lysis and selective product release.
