Shake flasks are widely used to culture microorganisms, but they do not allow for pH control without additional infrastructure. In the presence of a carbon source like glucose, culture pH typically decreases due to overflow metabolism and can limit the growth of microorganisms in shake flasks. In this study, we demonstrate the use of magnesium hydroxide-loaded pH managing hydrogels (m-pHmH) for in situ base release to counter the decrease in culture pH in shake flasks using Escherichia coli as a model organism, in both complex and mineral salts medium. Base release from m-pHmH is shown to increase with decreasing pH (22-fold increase in release rate from pH 8 to 5), thus providing feedback from culture pH. The addition of m-pHmH resulted in better pH maintenance and higher biomass yields of E. coli K12 in media containing glucose as a carbon source. The use of m-pHmH with additional buffer resulted in pH being maintained above 6.9 while pH decreases below 5 without m-pHmH. We demonstrate one application of such in situ pH management to increase the volumetric plasmid yield from E. coli in shake flask culture. In situ glucose release through a hydrogel to mimic fed-batch culture along with the addition of m-pHmH resulted in a 395 % increase in volumetric plasmid yield to 38 μg/ml in shake flask culture.
