Microbial Kinetics in Batch Culture
Culture system containing a limited amount of nutrient, which is inoculated with the microorganism. Cells grow until some component is exhausted or until the environment changes so as to inhibit growth. Biomass concentration defined in terms of cell dry weight measurements (g/l) or total cell number (cells/ml).
Lineweaver-Burke Equation.....We remember the Monod Equation

The equation now has the form of a straight line with intercept.
Y = MX + C
By plotting as a function of
You get a straight line, where the slope is , and the y–axis intercept is .
Product Yield Coefficient
Maintenance:
Cells use energy and raw materials for two functions, production of new cells and the maintenance of existing cells. In general, consumption of materials for maintenance is small w.r.t. the amount of materials used in the synthesis of new biomass.
Generally it is assumed that the use of materials for maintenance is proportional to the amount of cells present.
Batch and Continuous Sterilization of Media in Fermentation Industry Dr. Pavan Kundur
Continuous sterilization is the rapid transfer of heat to medium through steam condensate without the use of a heat exchanger. ... This is more efficient than batch sterilization because instead of expending energy to heat, hold, and cool the entire system, small portions of the inlet streams are heated at a time.
The heart of the fermentation or bioprocess technology is the Fermentor or Bioreactor. A bioreactor is basically a device in which the organisms are cultivated to form the desired products. it is a containment system designed to give right environment for optimal growth and metabolic activity of the organism.
A fermentor usually refers to the containment system for the cultivation of prokaryotic cells, while a bioreactor grows the eukaryotic cells (mammalian, insect cells, etc).

Recovery and purification of intracellular and extra cellular productsBangaluru
Product recovery and purification, such as centrifugal, chromatography, crystallization, dialysis, drying, electrophoresis, filtration, precipitation, etc., are essential finishing steps to any commercial fermentation process.
Bioprocess technology is a vital part of biotechnology that deals with processes combining all living matter or its components with nutrients to produce specialty chemicals, reagents, and biotherapeutics. These processes form the backbone of translating discoveries of life sciences into useful industrial products.
In that topic their is describe the different types of Extraction Methods, Parameters for Selecting appropriate Extraction methods, types of Extract, types of Separation techniques, types of distillation, chromatographic techniques.
Many important bio-products are produced by means of fermentation where microbial, plant or animal cells are employed to produce them as their metabolites.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Fermentation
• Fermentation is the term used by
microbiologists to describe any process for
the production of a product by means of the
mass culture of a microorganism.
• The extraction and purification of a
biotechnological product from fermentation.
4. Fermentation Basics
The product can either be:
A
microorganisms
’ own
metabolite
• Referred to as a
product from a
natural strain.
5. Batch Fermentation
• A batch fermentation can be considered to be a closed
system.
• At time t=0 the sterilized nutrient solution in the
fermenter is inoculated with microorganisms and
incubation is allowed to proceed.
• In the course of the entire fermentation, nothing is
added, except oxygen (in case of aerobic
microorganisms), and acid or base to control the pH
6. Batch Fermentation
• The composition of the culture medium, the
biomass concentration, and the metabolite
concentration generally change constantly as a
result of the metabolism of the cells.
• After the inoculation of a sterile nutrient solution
with microorganisms and cultivation under
physiological conditions, four typical phases of
growth are observed
7.
8. Growth Phases
Lag phase
• Physicochemical equilibration between
microorganism and the environment.
Log phase
• Growth of the cell mass can now be described
quantitatively as a doubling of cell number per unit
time for bacteria.
9. Stationary phase
• As soon as the substrate is metabolized or toxic
substances have been formed, growth slows down or
is completely stopped.
Death phase
• In this phase the energy reserves of the cells are
exhausted.
14. Downstream processing
• The various stages of processing that occur after
the completion of the fermentation or
bioconversion stage, including separation,
purification, and packaging of the product.
16. Stages in Downstream
Processing
• A few product recovery methods may be
considered to combine two or more stages.
• For example, expanded bed adsorption
accomplishes removal of insolubles and product
isolation in a single step. Affinity chromatography
often isolates and purifies in a single step.
18. Separation of cells and medium
• Recovery of cells and/or medium
(clarification)
• For intracellular enzyme, the cell fraction is
required
• For extracellular enzymes, the culture medium
is required
• On an industrial scale, cell/medium
separation is almost always performed by
centrifugation
• Industrial scale centrifuges may be batch,
continuous, or continuous with desludging
19. Solid liquid separation
• Following steps are involved:
• Floatation- gas is introduced into the liquid it
forms bubble. Cells and other solid particles are
absorbed and removed.
• Flocculation -cells and debris from large
aggregates and settles down. Addition of
flocculating agents are often done.
• Filtration- most commonly used to separate
biomass in culture medium.
20. Types of filtration used
Depth filters: they composed of filamentous matrix.
Particles are trapped in the matrix and fluid passes
out.
Absolute filters: the are of specific pore size than the
particles to be removed. Mostly used to remove
bacteria.
Rotatory drum vacuum filters: consists of rotating
drum immersed in tank of broth. As the drum
rotates it picks up the mass which forms a cake.
Membrane filters:
21. Centrifugation
• Tubular bowl centrifuge: small, commonly
used in pilot plants, can be run at high speed
and can be run in both batch or continuous
fermentation.
• Disc centrifuge: consists of several discs that
separate bowl into settling zones. Slurry is fed
through the centre.
• Multichamber centrifuge: modification of
tubular bowl type. consists of several
chambers which allows zigzag movement of
feed.
22. Release of intracellular products
Physical methods of cell disruption:
• Ultrasonication
• Osmotic shock: used to separate hydrolytic
enzymes and binding proteins.
• Heat shock:
• High pressure homogenization:
• Grinding with glass:
23. Chemical methods
• Alkali treatment:
• Organic solvents: toulene is very oftenly used. It
dissolves the membrane phospholipids.
• Detergents: triton x-100 or tweed is used
24. Enzymatic method
• Lysozymes: most frequently used for gram +ve
bacteria, for –ve in combination with EDTA it is
used.
25. Combination metods
• Concentration: the filtrate free from suspended
particles contains 80% water. The water is
removed to achieve concentration. Commonly used
techniques are:
• Evaporation
• Liquid-liquid extraction
• Membrane filtration
• Precipitation
• adsorption
26. Evaporation
• The evaporators in general , have a heating device
for supply of steam and unit for the seperation of
concentrated product and vapour, a condenser,
accessories and control equipment.
27. Dewatering
• Precipitation
• Salting out – addition of a high concentration of a soluble salt
(typically ammonium sulphate) causes proteins to aggregate
and precipitate.
• Addition of organic solvents
• Ultrafiltration
• The solution is forced under pressure through a membrane
with micropores, which allows water, salts and small
molecules to pass but retains large molecules (e.g., proteins)
• Spray drying
• Requires use of heat to evaporate water – unsuitable for most
proteins
28. Protein purification
• Adsorption chromatography
• Ion exchange chromatography – binding and
separation of proteins based on charge-charge
interactions
• Proteins bind at low ionic strength, and are eluted at
high ionic strength

• Binding of a protein to a matrix via a protein-
specific ligand
• Substrate or product analogue
• Antibody
• Inhibitor analogue
• Cofactor/coenzyme
• Specific protein is eluted by adding reagent which
competes with binding

32. Gel permeation chromatography
(GPC)
• Also known as ‘size exclusion chromatography’
and ‘gel filtration chromatography’
• Separates molecules on the basis of molecular size
• Separation is based on the use of a porous matrix.
Small molecules penetrate into the matrix more,
and their path length of elution is longer.
• Large molecules appear first, smaller molecules
later
33. Precipitation
• Formation of a solid in a solution during a chemical
reaction.
• Solid formed is called the precipitate and the liquid
remaining above the solid is called the supernate.
34. Product Purification
• To separate contaminants that resemble the
product very closely in physical and chemical
properties.
• Expensive and require sensitive and sophisticated
equipment.
35. Crystallization
• Process of formation of solid crystals precipitating
from a solution, melt or more rarely deposited
directly from a gas.
• Chemical solid-liquid separation technique, in
which mass transfer of a solute from the liquid
solution to a pure solid crystalline phase occurs.
36. Product Polishing
• Final processing steps which end with packaging
of the product in a form that is stable, easily
transportable and convenient.
• Crystallization, desiccation, lyophilization and
spray drying are typical unit operations
37. lyophilization
• Freezing the material
• Reducing the surrounding pressure and adding
enough heat to allow the frozen water in the
material to sublime directly from the solid phase to
gas.
38. Downstream processing should be
modified based on target product
1. Enzyme preparations for animal feed
supplementation (e.g., phytase) are not
purified
2. Enzymes for industrial use may be
partially purified (e.g., amylase for starch
industry)
3. Enzymes for analytical use (e.g., glucose
oxidase) and pharmaceutical proteins
(e.g., TPA) are very highly purified
