To Study and Analysis of Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) for Metabolites Production

Abstract

Fermentation is very important biological processes for metabolite production; utilizes plant, animal or any microbial cells. These cells have been added in production media at laboratory or industrial scale to convert the substrates into our main metabolites production with combination with byproducts. Byproducts concentration can be produced more if biological cells growth conditions are not optimized. Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) is one of mode of fermentation which is applied in many metabolites production. This mode is very useful when we use controlled condition and maintained steady state culture during period time for continuous metabolite production. We use fermentation medium for supply appropriate energy for growth of microorganisms and product formation in fermentation process. A lot of carbon and nitrogen substrates combination with micro or micronutrients are also supplied to culture media for growth of microorganisms to produce the various metabolites such as simple sugar, organic acids or biofuel etc. Various metabolic pathways are found in various biological cells to involve produce the specific metabolite and enzymes of pathways are deciding the efficiency of metabolite, generated in biological cells.
