I have been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

The above asked question is from Bioreactor in portion Recovery and Purification of Fermentation Products, Effluent Treatment, Bioreactor Design Considerations of Fermentation Technology

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) 7,000 L

The best I can explain: 7,000 L of the medium is required for the production of 1 kg antibody in continuous fermentation per year. 20,000 L of the medium is required for batch fermentation and 7,000 L is required for the fed-batch fermentation.
