Questions and Answers
What is the primary goal of maximizing yield in this context?
To produce the maximum concentration of product or biomass
In the context of maximizing yield, what is the significance of achieving max. rate of growth?
It contributes to the production of high concentration metabolites

Study Notes
Media for Industrial Fermentation
- Biotechnological process requires a medium that meets certain criteria
- Ideal media should produce the maximum yield of product per unit of substrate used
- Key characteristics of ideal media include:
- Producing the maximum yield of product
- Allowing for high biomass production per gram of substrate
- Meeting as many of the required criteria as possible
Bioreactors and Biocatalysts
- Bioreactors are tanks that facilitate the biotechnological process
- Biocatalysts (M.O) are used to facilitate the reaction or process
- The choice of biocatalyst depends on the specific biotechnological process
Downstream Process
- Downstream process involves the separation and purification of the final product
- It is an essential step in industrial fermentation
- The goal of the downstream process is to isolate and purify the desired product
