Question

The chemostat and turbidostat are the types of bioreactors that are used in which of the following culture?

(a) Batch culture

(b) Continuous culture

(c) Fed-Batch culture

(d) Solid State culture

I got this question at a job interview.

I would like to ask this question from Microbial Growth Kinetics topic in portion Microbial Growth Kinetics of Fermentation Technology

Answer 1

Right option is (b) Continuous culture

To elaborate: Turbidostat is a microbiological culture device, similar to a chemostat, which has feedback between the turbidity of the culture vessel and the dilution rate. Continuous fermentation is useful in the production of potentially more important products than batch fermentation.
