Batch Fermentation

Production of ethanol using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a controlled batch bioreactor.

Submerged or solid-state fermentation processes utilizing Aspergillus niger for organic acid synthesis.

Entrapment of whole cells or specific enzymes in sodium alginate beads for repeated bioprocess use.

Using sonication, homogenization, or enzymatic lysis for the recovery of intracellular bio-products.

Techniques including continuous centrifugation and filtration to separate biomass from the culture broth.

Studying oxygen transfer rates (KLa) and mixing times critical for aerobic fermentation systems.

In-situ sterilization protocols for lab-scale and pilot-scale stirred tank bioreactors.

Concentrating biological products via ammonium sulfate precipitation or solvent extraction.
