Fermentation Methods & Scale-up Strategies

January 15, 2003

Penn State University, State College, Pennsylvania
April 1-4, 2003, June 17-20, 2003, October 7-10, 2003

This course emphasizes the theoretical and practical aspects of microbial fermentation from laboratory to pilot plant scale. Participants will get hands-on experience setting up, inoculating, and monitoring fermentors, as well as conducting practical experiments that include the effects of medium components on cell density; mixing, aeration, and oxygen mass transfer in fermentation systems; analysis and control of key parameters for product optimization; and computer control of fermentation.

The laboratory work will be supported by presentations and discussions on the fundamentals of microbial culture, aseptic techniques, kinetics of fermentation, recombinant microorganisms, scale-up strategies, downstream processing, economic considerations, regulatory aspects, and cGMP.
