Pharmaceutical fermentation

Fermentation is a process used for cultivating micro-organisms or other organic material into important pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics, therapeutic proteins, enzymes and insulin. It is typically carried out in temperature-controlled tanks (fermenter) which require addition of nutrients at the correct concentration to maximize productivity of the organism of interest.
