Question

Large scale production of biotechnological products involves use of ?

• A. Bioreactor or fermenter
• B. Electrophoresis
• C. RFLP
• D. PCR

Answer 1

The correct option is A Bioreactor or fermenter

• Industrial fermentation is the large-scale cultivation of microorganisms that are largely aerobic in nature.
• The most important equipment in use for bio-processing is a fermenter or a bioreactor.
• A bioreactor is a device in which the microorganisms are cultivated to form the desired products by maintaining optimum conditions for growth and metabolic activity.
• A fermenter refers to the device used for the cultivation of prokaryotic cells, e.g., bacteria, fungi, etc., whereas a bioreactor is used for biocatalysis and production of prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic cells.
• It helps in the mass production of metabolites.

So, the correct answer is 'Bioreactor or fermenter'
