Summary Introduction
To categorize:
The two media given in Tables 6.3 and 6.4 using the terms—selective, defined, differential, broth, complex, and solid.
Introduction:
A growth medium is used for culturing microorganisms. The media can be solid, liquid, or semi-solid (in some cases). A variety of media are available for culturing various types of cells. The eosin methylene blue (EMB) agar is an example of selective differential complex solid medium, and triple sugar iron (TSI) agar is a differential complex solid media.

- Nicotiana tabacum cells are cultured to produce a polysaccharide gum. The reactor used is a stirred-tank reactor with an initial volume of 100 L. The maximum specific rate of growth of the culture is 0.18 d-1 and the yield coefficient of substrate in biomass is 0.5 gX/gS. The concentration of the limiting substrate in the medium is 3% (m/v). The reactor is inoculated with 1.5 g/L of cells and operated in batch until the substrate is exhausted, when the medium is fed with a constant flow rate of 8 L/d. The fed batch occurs in a quasi-steady state condition.a) Estimate the time of the batch step and the concentration of cells reached in this phase, considering exponential cell growth.b) The fed batch phase is carried out for a period of 40 days.
