Basically fermenters are massive tubs. These are your apparatus.
They contain bacteria inside that are kept in optimum condition (good
temperature, pH, agitation (moving bacteria don't let them settle with impellers), sterile conditions (no other bacteria present before the production bacteria)).
The bacteria quickly multiply because of these perfect conditions. All this time they are producing enzymes, which are by-products of certain chemical reactions occurring inside the cytoplasm of the bacteria. The enzymes can then be harvested afterwards and used for industrial means.

Is serratia a lactose fermenter?
no
What are the main types of fermentation?
Acholic fermentation lactic acid fermentation wine fermentation
Basic design of fermenter?
biotecnology
What is an aerobic fermenter?
An aerobic ferment er is one in which there is provision for the introduction of sterile air into the reaction. The sterile air is introduced into the interiors of the fermenter through an attachment called a sparger. Air is bubbled through. The bubbles are then dispersed throughout the reactor by an impeller (a mixing apparatus that stirs the entire reaction contents in the fermenter).
Can Pseudomonas fluorescens grow on MacConkey agar?
Yes. But because it is not a lactose fermenter, the colonies will be colorless (or sometimes have a green tint).
What are the various types of fermenter?
Fermenter are of two types 1. Aerobic fermenter 2. Anaerobic fermenter
What is the cooling jacket in a fermenter?
The fermenter is surrounded by a jacket of cold water to regulate the temperature of the reaction medium.

How are the enzymes are extracted from the fermenter?
they use the force
What temperature is the fermenter kept at?
30 c
What are the uses of deep jet fermenter?
Impregnation
What is the definition of fermenter?
Something that causes fermentation.
Why is a fermenter usually filled with steam and then cooled?
hi, fermenter is generally used for wine and beer and other products like penicillin,acetone,citric acid etc. before a batch starts fermenter need to be sterilized to kill all unwanted bacteria. steam can provide cell disrupting temperature at 121 c temperature and 15 lbs pressure.that's why steam passed through the fermenter and it takes long to cool fermenter that's why cool water passed.
Advatages of batch fermentors?
A batch fermenter allows microbiologists an efficient and sterile way to reproduce microorganisms. The batch fermenter is automatically sterilized at the end of each batch.
What is the name of stock materials added to fermenter?
Grain bill
