What is the advantage of a continuous culture system compared to small volume cultures in recombinant protein production?
Options
- AIt yields larger biomass
- BIt provides optimal growth conditions
- CIt is used for purifying the desired protein
- DIt is used for cloning foreign genes
Correct answer
A. It yields larger biomass
Step-by-step solution
The cells can also be multiplied in a continuous culture system wherein the used medium is drained out from one side while fresh medium is added from the other to maintain the cells in their physiologically most The cells can also be multiplied in a continuous culture system wherein the used medium is drained out from one side while fresh medium is added from the other to maintain the cells in their physiologically most active log/exponential phase. This type of culturing method produces a larger biomass leading to
