About this document
Overview of Batch Fermentation Types by Shanmugapriya is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes three different types of fermentation processes: batch, fed-batch, and continuous fermentation. Batch fermentation involves inoculating a sterile growth medium without adding more medium. All bacterial growth phases are observed and conditions change over time. Fed-batch fermentation extends bacterial growth phases by continuously adding medium. This increases biomass and metabolite yield compared to batch by over 1000%. However, stationary phase bacteria may produce proteases.
