Efficient strategies for the production of recombinant proteins are gaining increasing importance, as more applications that require high amounts of high-quality proteins reach the market. Higher production efficiencies and, consequently, lower costs of the final product are needed for obtaining a commercially viable process. In this chapter, common problems in recombinant protein production are reviewed and strategies for their solution are discussed. Such strategies include molecular biology techniques, as well as manipulation of the culture environment. Finally, specific problems relevant to different hosts are discussed.
