LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Temperature controller.
Impeller paddles.: impeller paddles is a
components which maintains the
homogeneous phase
Cooling jackets.
Baffles.: reduces particles size and prevent
particles from sticking the wall.
Diffuser.: diffuser is the part , which diffuses
the air from the bottom of the inlet for
maximum aeration.
Step 1: microbial inoculum (microbial cell) is
• mixed with the nutrition which help to grow
FERMENTATION PROCESS:
the medium.
Step 2: mixture is placed in the fermenter
( the instrument for the fermentation
process occurs.)
Step 3: filter the mixture after the process in
the fermenter.
Step 4: extraction
Step 5: purification
Step 6: final product

MODES OF FERMENTATION
Fermentation could be:
Batch mode
Fed batch mode
Continuous mode
BATCH FERMENTATION
Most fermentations are batch processes
Upstream processing
Downstream processing
UPSTREAM PROCESSING
PAA- precursor
FERMENTATION PROCESS
The medium is inoculated with a suspension
of conidia of Penicillium chrysogenum.
The medium is constantly aerated and
agitated, and the mould grows throughout as
pellets.
After about seven days, growth is complete,
the pH rises to 8.0 or above, and penicillin
production ceases
STAGES IN DOWNSTREAM
PROCESSING
Removal of cells

CEPHALOSPORINS
Cephalosporins are beta-lactam antibiotics that are
derived from Acremonium fungus. It was first
isolated in 1952
Like other beta-lactams, these antibiotics work by
inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis.
There are traditionally five generations of
cephalosporins classified based on their
antimicrobial characteristics.
Each new generation provides a more extended
spectrum and has greater gram negative
bactericidal properties than the previous
generation.
CEPHALOSPORIN PRODUCTION
Cephalosporin is produced through fermentation
of A. chrysogenum under the presence of oxygen
(aerobic conditions), carried out in a
conventional method using free or immobilized
fungi under solidstate or surface-liquid
fermentation that is operated in a bioreactor
The fermentation process is carried out in a
chemically defined medium with the presence of
carbon sources, usually glucose and/or sucrose.
Acremonium chrysogenum through fermentation
process, either by batch or fed-batch mode.

ERYTHROMYCIN
Erythromycin is produced from Streptomyces
and Micromonospora.
1. Biomass accumulation
The sporulating culture of Streptomyces
erythraeus is done on Trypton agar slant. •
Cells are harvested from agar plates and
the suspension is taken in Sterile water. •
The suspension is then stored at 4C.
2. Production Phase
Media which used in a stirred tank fermenter
consists of,
• Sucrose – 5%
• Corn steep liquor – 0.5%
• Soyabean oil meal – 1.5%
• Yeast – 1.0%
• NaCl – 0.5%
• CaCo3 precipitate – 0.3%
• pH – 7.0 -7.2
Production of Erythromycin production occurs when
froth reaches stationary phase.
• Addition of n-propanol as precursor increases the
production of erythromycin.
TETRACYCLINE
First prepared by catalytic dehydrogenation
of chlortetracycline synthetically and later
using streptomyces aureofacience in 1954.
Medium : aerated submerged culture.
Composition:
Vegetable oil – antifoaming agent
Glycerol
Starch - carbon source
Sucrose
Ammonium salt - Nitrogen source
Peanut oil
Cotton seed oil
Corn seed oil
Buffer to maintain pH
PRODUCTION:
Production take place in three phases
1st phase:
Rapid consumption of nutrients and increase
in cell mass of Streptomyces aureofacience
2nd phase
Here growth of microorganism decreases
and same time ceases.
Maximum quantity of antibiotic produces.
3rd phase:
decreased antibiotic production.
lysis of mycelium occur, phosphate ions
decreases the fermentation.
Temperature : 28-29˚C.
pH : 5.5-6.5
GRISEOFULVIN
It is an antifungal antibiotic.
It is less toxic.
Use orally for the treatment and control of
skin, nail and hair fungal problems.
Organism used is Penecillium griseofulvin.
Extraction.

it should be treated with butyl acetate.
