Question

There is a high amount of nutrients in growth media.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question in an interview.

I need to ask this question from Media Design for Bioprocesses in section Equipping a Fermentation Laboratory, the Design and Preparation of Media for Bioprocesses of Fermentation Technology

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) False

The best explanation: There is a high amount of nutrients in the fermentation media and is used in creating final products. Whereas, low amount of nutrients are present in the growth media. As for example, yeast requires 1 % carbon for normal growth and about 13 % of carbon during fermentation.
