Question

Which of the following is NOT correct for Continuous fermentation?

(a) Setup is not changed from outside once the fermentation has started

(b) Nutrients are added many times

(c) Closer to the natural environment

(d) The small size of fermenters are required

I have been asked this question in my homework.

This key question is from Microbial Growth Kinetics topic in division Microbial Growth Kinetics of Fermentation Technology

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) Setup is not changed from outside once the fermentation has started

For explanation I would say: In Continuous Fermentation the system is open and therefore the setup can be changed from outside during the fermentation process. The other three options are possible for batch fermentation.
