The document discusses fermentors and bioreactors. It describes how fermentors are closed vessels used for large-scale fermentation processes to produce products like antibiotics, amino acids, and organic acids. The document outlines the key components of fermentors, including a water jacket, stirring paddles, and inputs and outputs for nutrients, products, and steam. It also discusses upstream processing like medium preparation and sterilization, inoculation, and the different types of fermentation systems like batch, continuous, and fed-batch culture. Downstream processing steps like product extraction, purification, and formulation are also summarized.
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).

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.
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.
Steps involved in fermentation products producing a viable product output.various steps and process were explained in them. A semester syllabus of undergraduate microbiology student in his/her semester -5 in paper -6 . I think this might be helpful to you and have a good response after reading this .thank you.
Downstream processing refers to the recovery and purification of biosynthetic products, particularly pharmaceuticals, from natural sources such as animal or plant tissue or fermentation broth, including the recycling of salvageable components and the proper treatment and disposal of waste.

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.

PERSPECTIVE
It is known and practiced by humankind prehistoric times since.
The production of beer, bread, wine etc., are established in ancient Egypt.
In 1857 Pasteur developed the fermentation process.
1897 Eduard Buchner discovered that sucrose could be fermented to alcohol by
yeast.
In 1984 first constructed bioreactor by Stanberry and Whitaker

Temperature and ph probe Maintain pH and temperature in neutral level
Stirring paddle Stirs the reaction microorganisms are mixed with the nutrients,
which stops them from sinking to the bottom and keeps the
temperature well

strains by using
Recombination
Mutations

Media formulation : growth medium must have essential nutrients for
microbial growth for successful fermentation process
Two kind media :
Inoculum media : enrich the culture
Production media: contain carbon and nitrogen
Raw materials : corn molasses, cellulose, corn, streep liquor soybean,
sugar, beet molasses, malt extract etc.,

11. Upstream processing includes formulation of the fermentation
medium, sterilization of air, fermentation medium and the Fermenter,
inoculum preparation and inoculation of the medium.
The fermentation medium should contain an energy source, a carbon
source, a nitrogen source and micronutrients required for the growth
of the microorganism along with water and oxygen, if necessary.
A medium which is used for a large scale fermentation, in order to
ensure the sustainability of the operation, should have the following
characteristics;
1. It should be cheap and easily available
2. It should maximize the growth of the microorganism, productivity
and the rate of formation of the desired product
3. It should minimize the formation of undesired products
M.PhilMicrobiology-NEETHU
ASOKAN
12. Usually, waste products from other industrial processes, such
as molasses, lignocelluloses wastes, cheese whey and corn
steep liquor, after modifying with the incorporation of
additional nutrients, are used as the substrate for many
industrial fermentations.
Sterilisation is essential for preventing the contamination with
any undesired microorganisms.
Air is sterilised by membrane filtration while the medium is
usually heat sterilised.
Any nutrient component which is heat labile is filter-sterilised
and later added to the sterilised medium.
The fermenter may be sterilised together with the medium or
separately.

13. Inoculum build up is the preparation of the seed culture in
amounts sufficient to be used in the large Fermenter vessel.
This involves growing the microorganisms obtained from the pure
stock culture in several consecutive Fermenter.
This process cuts down the time required for the growth of
microorganisms in the Fermenter, thereby increasing the rate of
productivity.
Then the seed culture obtained through this process is used to
inoculate the fermentation medium.
