Ans. Advantages of using Fermenters
I) For each biotechnological process, the environment provided to the organisms must be monitored and controlled. Such a controlled environment is provided by fermenters.
ii) A fermenters optimizes the growth of the organisms by controlling many factors like nutrients, oxygen, growth inhibitors, pH and temperature.
iii) A fermenter may hold several thousand litres of the growth medium. So, fermenters allow the production of materials in bulk quantities. Massive amounts of medicines, insulin, human growth hormone, and other proteins are being produced in fermenters and this production proves much inexpensive,
