Questions and Answers

What is the primary goal of maximizing yield in this context?

To decrease the time required for production

To minimize the cost of production

To achieve the highest rate of growth

To produce the maximum concentration of product or biomass (correct)

In the context of maximizing yield, what is the significance of achieving max. rate of growth?

It reduces the overall production time

It contributes to the production of high concentration metabolites (correct)

It minimizes the cost of production

It ensures a higher yield per unit volume

What is the key difference between primary (1ry) metabolite and secondary (2ry) metabolite?

1ry metabolite contributes to max. rate of growth, while 2ry metabolite contributes to max. rate of production (correct)

1ry metabolite is essential for cell replication, while 2ry metabolite is essential for biomass formation

1ry metabolite is produced during log phase, while 2ry metabolite is produced during idiophase

1ry metabolite is associated with low rate of growth, while 2ry metabolite is associated with max. rate

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
