Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of decreasing lactate production in cell culture using divalent transitional metallic salts. The present disclosure also relates to a method of producing polypeptide by adding divalent transitional metallic salt to the cell culture medium for reducing lactate accumulation followed by fermenting and recovering the polypeptide.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of reducing heterogeneity in antibodies during culturing, wherein the heterogeneity is due to proportion of charge variant of the antibody. The disclosure also comprises a process of growing cells in a cell culture system that results in antibodies with the reduced heterogeneity. In one embodiment antibody heterogeneity is reduced by the addition of divalent transitional metal ions such as zinc (Zn2+) to the cell culture medium. In another embodiment antibody heterogeneity is reduced by decreasing the osmolality of the cell culture medium.
