Study Notes
Bacterial Growth and Importance in Bioprocessing
- Bacterial growth occurs in four phases: lag, log, stationary, and death or decline
- Endospores are resistant structures formed by bacteria in response to harmful conditions
- Endospores require temperatures over 120°C to be killed and can remain viable for centuries
- Bacteria can be autotrophic (photosynthetic or chemosynthetic) or heterotrophic (saprophytic or parasitic)
- Factors affecting bacterial growth include temperature, pH, oxygen concentration, availability of nutrients, water, and waste materials
- Antibiotics are substances made by microorganisms to kill other microorganisms
- Antibiotic resistance can result from overuse, failure to complete the course, or antibiotic residues in food
- Beneficial bacteria are used in the production of yogurt, cheese, antibiotics, and nutrient recycling in soil
- Harmful bacteria can cause human diseases and food spoilage
- Bioprocessing uses organisms or their products to make useful substances
- Batch process involves adding nutrients and microorganisms to the bioreactor at the start and is used for antibiotics
- Continuous process involves continuously adding nutrients to the bioreactor and allows for a continuous yield of product
