• Define different modes of fermentation and know their limitations.
• Develop a suitable medium and perform a material balance.
• Interpret fermentation data and use it effectively.
• Characterise the kinetics of cell growth and how they apply to different cell systems.
• Determine fermentation productivity and yields.
• Learn about new developments in fermentation technology (single use bioreactors)
• Develop a strategy for fermentation process development.
