Abstract: Disclosed techniques and solutions can provide improved snapshot replication. Typically, an initial replica obtained using snapshot replication is periodically updated. However, the update process can unnecessarily consume computing resources if data in a source data object has not changed with respect to data in a replica data object. Disclosed techniques check to determine whether a snapshot replica is out of date before obtaining a new snapshot. The checks can be performed on manual request or on the occurrence of triggers, such as receiving a query that accesses the replica data object or according to a schedule. Information for current and prior versions of the remote data object can be compared to determine whether a replica is out of date, such as digest values of contents of the remote data object or timestamps associated with the remote data object.

Further, when the brazzein expression system is cultured under the optimal culture conditions according to the present invention, the amount of brazzein produced is further increased, the purification process is simple, and costs are reduced. Therefore, it is expected that the brazzein expression system according to the present invention can be widely used for mass-producing and commercializing brazzein, which is a sweet protein.
