Batch Continuous Culture Rate Set Easy Lower Chance

This flashcard aims to compare the advantages and disadvantages of batch and continuous cultures. It details the differences in terms of growth rate, ease of setup, consequences of contamination, and efficiency.

Ce flashcard a pour but de comparer les avantages et les inconvénients des cultures en batch et en continu. Il détaille les différences en termes de taux de croissance, de facilité d'installation, de conséquences de la contamination et d'efficacité.

BatchContinuous
Growth rateLag, log then stationaryOptimum exp rate maintained
Ease of set up and maintenanceEasy to set up and runRequires sophisticated equipment, constant monitoring and adjustment - not easy
Consequence of contaminationLower chance of it ocurring, if it does then batch including product is lost, must sterilise bioreactor and start againHigher chance of it occurring, more costly to restart and the whole culture is lost rather than 1 batch
EfficiencyLower bc idle time between batchesHigher bc continually making product
Which type of metabolite it is good forAltered for either by changing factorsPrimary only
