Plasmid-based genes offer promise for a new generation of vaccines and for gene therapy, but the size and character of plasmids pose new challenges to biochemical engineers. By acknowledging these and using bioprocess-design information based on fundamental studies of the system's properties, it will be possible to create efficient and consistent processes for these materials. This review addresses the purity required, the key issue of the sensitivity of the chromosomal DNA contaminant and larger plasmids to hydrodynamic forces, and the impact of this and other characteristics of plasmids on the recovery and purification of DNA for pharmaceutical purposes.
