Spatially resolved quantification of metal ion concentration in a biofilm-mediated ion exchanger.

abstract：:At the laboratory scale, sudden step increases from 30 to 42 degrees C can be readily accomplished when expressing heterologous proteins in heat-inducible systems. However, for large scale-cultures only slow ramp-type increases in temperature are possible due to heat transfer limitations, where the heating rate decrea...
