- Allowed us to understand the true complexity of fermentation and that it actually involves numerous steps and equipment for it to be a success.
- Learnt that the different specialised parts of the bioreactor and their functions.
- Equipped us with the basic skills of preparing the necessary materials for fermentation, sample collection and extraction and purification of a product.
- Allowed us to be more analytical in analysing data such as the OD readings.
- Reinforced our theoretical knowledge by applying them in practicals.
- Allowed us to understand the various considerations for lab scale fermentation and the methods that were taken to adress this.
We have learnt alot from our practicals and we hope you have picked up something new too by reading our blog. Hope you've enjoyed reading our belong just as we did carrying out our practicals!!! =)
