8. The production of an amylase from starch by
Aspergillus niger
is often performed in a fed batch fermenter. This is due to the reason that
Options
A. fed-batch reactor can be used to minimize starch concentrations and prevent
a. niger
from fermenting
B. fed-batch reactor can be used to minimize starch concentrations and thus reduce the viscosity of the medium

D. all of the above
Show Answer
Scratch Pad
Discuss
Correct Answer: fed-batch reactor can be used to minimize starch concentrations and thus reduce the viscosity of the medium
