Course Content
|
This course covers principles of microbial growth and growth kinetics, various media components and their functionality, identify the critical components of fermenters: how they work and are used in fermentation process development. Fermentation technics used in biotech industry will be covered in addition to setup, preparation, sterilization and inoculation of a fermenter, how mixing studies are performed and why, the critical attributes to consider during scale-up, define the procedures employed to harvest the fermenter.
