Fermentation Control in Life Sciences and Bioprocessing

Fermentation, a process critical to life sciences.  It involves the growth of bacteria and the production of drugs. It consists of three stages: primary fermentation, secondary fermentation, and bottle or keg conditioning and carbonation. This process is widely used to produce biomass, enzymes, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Traditionally, yeast, fungi, and bacteria have been the primary cell types used in fermentation.
