Here we detail about the six important parameters of fermentation biotechnology. The six parameters are: 1. Preliminary Investigations 2. Scale Up 3. Culture Preservation 4. Feedstocks for Fermentation Processes 5. Fermenter Design and Operation 6. Downstream Processing. 1. Preliminary Investigations: The starting point for a fermentation process is the discovery that a microorganism makes a useful product. Such a discovery [...]
Read this article to learn about the features, techniques and some major achievements of algae with biotechnology. Beneficial Features and Suitability of Algae: Algae present a diversity of form, chemistry, genetic complexity and range of habitats that are exploitable and adaptable to commercial processes. Distinct benefits are derived from joining Phycology with technology. The Features of Algae that makes it [...]
Substrates/Resources: 1. Molasses Refining: Molasses is the most common renewable carbohydrate waste resource used for fermentative production of ethanol, baker's yeast and many other bio-products. Molasses is the syrup that is left after the recovery of crystalline sugar from the concentrated juice of sugar cane or beet. Depending on the juice resource and its processing, two kinds of molasses are [...]
