Question
Which of the following is not a component of downstream processing?
Explanation
Downstream processing includes cell separation, product recovery, purification and preservation after fermentation. Expression of recombinant protein occurs during upstream fermentation in bioreactor, not downstream. Hence expression is not considered part of downstream operations aimed at isolating pure product.
