Microbial Polysaccharides: Application, Production and Features

Read this article to learn about the applications, production and features of microbial polysaccharides. Polysaccharides: The microorganisms can produce large amounts of polysaccharides in the presence of surplus carbon source. Some of these polysaccharides (e.g. glycogen) serve as storage compounds. The polysaccharides excreted by the cells, referred to as exopolysaccharides, are of commercial importance. The exopolysaccharides may be found in [...]

Stages in Downstream Processing: 5 Stages

This article throws light upon the five stages in downstream processing. The five stages are: (1) Solid-Liquid Separation (2) Release of Intracellular Products (3) Concentration (4) Purification by Chromatography and (5) Formulation. In Fig. 20.1, an outline of the major steps in downstream processing is given. Stage # 1. Solid-Liquid Separation: The first step in product recovery is the separation [...]

Parameters of Bioprocess and its Measurement

Read this article to learn about the various physical, chemical and biological parameters of bioprocess that can be measured during fermentation/bioprocessing. There are a large number of physical, chemical and biological parameters that can be measured during fermentation/bioprocessing (Table 19.6) for data analysis and appropriate control. Some special sensors have been developed to carry out measurements in the bioreactors. The [...]
