BATCH CULTUREDefinition: A closed system with limited amount of nutrient (no additional of medium added)Cells grows through several phases:i) Lag phaseii) Log phaseiii) Deceleration
phaseiv) Stationary
phasev) Death phase
![Page 5: MIC 303 INDUSTRIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/5681316b550346895d97e312/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
i) Lag phaseTime of adaptation of cell to the environment or medium (reorganization of micro molecular contituents).Length of lag phase may vary (depend on specific circumstances).Shorter lag time is recommended for industry, can be achieved using suitable inoculum (active or not) and environmental condition.Synthesis or inhibition of the enzyme or cell structure components may occur.Typical effects: Low cell number / cell concentration. No changes in substrate pH. No changes in substrate concentration. No product formation.

ii) Log phaseIllustrate by a linear line of the plot of log cell mass vs time.During this phase, a growth at steady state where specific growth rate, µ are fixed.Cell growth at maximum attainable rate.Typical effects in log phase: Rapid increase in cell concentration. Rapid changes in substrate pH. Substrate concentration decreased. Product formation starts.

iii) Deceleration phaseGrowth rate slowly decreases due to: Consumption of nutrient or essential
nutrient become depleted (substrate limitation). Accumulation of toxic product.

PRODUCTION KINETICS
![Page 15: MIC 303 INDUSTRIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/5681316b550346895d97e312/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
To determine the metabolic parameters
Need data on: substrate uptake with time
• with and without product formation product generation with time
• with and without cell growth cell growth with time
![Page 16: MIC 303 INDUSTRIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/5681316b550346895d97e312/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Specific growth rate:
Where: dx = Change in biomass concentration.
dt = Change in incubation time.
x = biomass concentration.
Specific growth rate, µ expressed in reciprocal time unit (h-
1).
![Page 17: MIC 303 INDUSTRIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/5681316b550346895d97e312/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
During batch cultivation, specific growth rate changes continuosly from zero to the max value µmax.
µmax depends on microorganisms, physical, chemical
conditions.Typical values of µmax:
MicroorganismsCultivation
Temperatureµmax (h-1)
Bacteria 37ºC 0.6-1.2
Yeast 30ºC 0.3-0.5
Actinomycetes 28ºC 0.1-0.3
Fungal 28ºC 0.1-0.3
![Page 18: MIC 303 INDUSTRIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/5681316b550346895d97e312/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
By plotting the growth curve of the microorganisms, then determine the instavenous µ value at each sampling time by ascertaining the tangent at the point of contact on the growth curve.The highest value obtained (from 24-72h) is the µmax.

The Yield Coefficient (Y)A measure of the overall efficiency of the conversion of substrate to cell mass or specific product:
Y is not constant, will vary depending on organism, pH, temperature and substrate
Parameter Equation
Cell (Y x/s) ΔX / ΔS
Product (Y p/s) ΔP / ΔS
Product (Y p/x) ΔP / ΔX

Batch ProductivityProductivity – a measure of product ( or biomass) produced per unit time (g/L/h).Product formation of growth – link product is closely related with growth rate.Productivity in batch culture will be a greatest when growth rate max (µmax).
![Page 22: MIC 303 INDUSTRIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/5681316b550346895d97e312/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Productivity (R batch) =
X max - Xo
T final – T initial
Where;X max = maximum cell concentration at stationary phase
Xo = initial cell during inoculation
T final = time during which organism growing at µmax
T initial = time which organism not growing at µmax, including lag phase, deceleration phase period of batching, sterilizing and so on.

CONTINUOUS CULTURE
![Page 25: MIC 303 INDUSTRIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/5681316b550346895d97e312/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
CONTINUOUS CULTUREFresh fermentation media is continuosly added to the reactor while fermenter broth containing biomass, products and unused nutrient are continuosly removed.Exponential growth in batch culture may be prolonged by the addition of fresh medium to the vessel.Growth can be maintained for long durationContinuous feeding to a culture at a suitable rate formation of new biomass by the culture is balanced by the loss of cell from the vessel STEADY STATE.
![Page 26: MIC 303 INDUSTRIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/5681316b550346895d97e312/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Application of Continuous Culture
Biomass productionGrowth associated product or primary metabolite – e.g: ethanol, citric acidNot suitable for non-growth associated or secondary metabolite – e.g: antibiotic
![Page 27: MIC 303 INDUSTRIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/5681316b550346895d97e312/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
ImportantWhen referring to continuous culture systems, the terms used in batch culture (lag, exponential, stationary, death phase)
have no meaning because the system is operating continuously and growth cannot segregated into phases
![Page 28: MIC 303 INDUSTRIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/5681316b550346895d97e312/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
BATCH CULTURE CONTINUOUS CULTURE
Nutrients added only at start Nutrients added continuously
Product removed when fermentation stops.
Product continuously removed .
Growth rates and product formation are slower because limiting factors ex: substrate levels/ build up of toxins.
Organism held in exponential growth phase giving higher productivity so can be on a smaller scale.
Slower growth rates = Larger vessels are used.
Easy to set up and maintain. Can be very difficult to maintain conditions so that exponential phase is maintained. Foaming, clumping and blocked inlet pose problems.
If contamination occurs only one batch is wasted.
Contamination can afferct a huge volume of product/ organism.
Less efficient / more time wasted shutting down removing product and starting up again.
Continuous, therefore more efficient use of time.
Product quality can vary between batches.
Product quality more consistent.

FED-BATCHCULTURE
![Page 30: MIC 303 INDUSTRIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/5681316b550346895d97e312/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
FED BATCH CULTUREExtending the batch culture by feeding continuously or periodically with medium with no removal of culture from the vessel.Somewhere between batch and continuous culture.A volume of medium is inoculated with the organism and allowed to grow for a batch period of time.Subsequently, a feed is initiated into the fermenter when a “quasi steady state” is obtained.Quasi steady state: when the growth limiting substrate has depleted.

• metabolic intermediates. pyruvate, citrate, acetate.
Non-growth-associated. takes place during the stationary phase (m=0)
• secondary metabolites. Antibiotics.
Mixed - growth associated / Partially growth associated. takes place during growth and stationary phases.
• metabolic by-products. lactate, ethanol.
• secondary metabolites.

Primary MetaboliteReleased as a result of metabolic processes which are essential for the life of the micro-organism e.g. ethanol from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Thus, primary metabolites are produced throughout the growth of the micro-organism, especially through the exponential phase.
![Page 36: MIC 303 INDUSTRIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/5681316b550346895d97e312/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Secondary MetaboliteA substance which is not essential for the life of the micro-organisms and which is not produced as a result of the growth process e.g. penicillin.Secondary metabolites are produced after the exponential growth phase has stopped. This is important because it means that secondary metabolites such as penicillin cannot be produced in continuous fermenters – which deliberately maintain the micro-organism in the exponential growth stage.
![Page 37: MIC 303 INDUSTRIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/5681316b550346895d97e312/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Production of secondary metabolite starts when exponential growth stops and growth of cells starts to slow. Adding a lot of extra nutrients at time T (see graph) will simply increase the growth of the micro-organism but not formation of the product. However, by adding a small amount of extra nutrients at this time, the amount of product formed can be increased.
