Fermenters:
biotechnology: industrial applications of biological processes
industrial fermentation is used widely to cultivate bacterial and fungal cells
advantages to using microorgansism in fermentaion:
- microorgansism grow rapidly and enzymes don't need to be supplied
- so fermentation can occur at lower temperatures
- so it is cheaper
- so fermentation can occur at lower temperatures
Fermenter Design:
- pure culture us needed for the formation and harvesting of a pure product
- organsims needs suitable conditions for growth without competition for maximum efficiency
- vessel sterilised before hand and sterile medium needed
- vessel openings proteced from contamination by filters
- asceptic conditions and handling maintain purity
- forced aeration fro maximum growth or aerfobes and mix the culture to improve contact with nutrients
- may…
