Read this article to learn about the media used for the growth of microorganisms in industrial fermentation. The media used for the growth of microorganisms in industrial fermentation must contain all the elements in a suitable form for the synthesis of cellular substances as well as the metabolic products. While designing a medium, several factors must be taken into consideration. [...]
This article throws light upon the six types of bioreactors used in bioprocess technology. The six types are: (1) Continuous Stirred Tank Bioreactors (2) Bubble Column Bioreactors (3) Airlift Bioreactors (4) Fluidized Bed Bioreactors (5) Packed Bed Bioreactors and (6) Photo-Bioreactors. Type # 1. Continuous Stirred Tank Bioreactors: A continuous stirred tank bioreactor consists of a cylindrical vessel with motor [...]
This article throws light upon the three types of recombinant vaccines. The three types are: (1) Subunit Vaccines (2) Attenuated Recombinant Vaccines and (3) Vector Recombinant Vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines—General: Recombinant DNA technology in recent years has become a boon to produce new generation vaccines. By this approach, some of the limitations (listed above) of traditional vaccine production could be overcome. [...]
