Control and reaction monitoring<br />

in fermentation processes<br />

Microorganisms can be used in biological<br />

reactors, e.g. for the production of enzymes<br />

or in the preparation of drugs. However, this<br />

involves extensive measurement and control<br />

equipment to maintain optimal conditions<br />

for growth of the microorganisms used<br />

(e.g. baker's yeast).<br />

A relatively simple and completely safe<br />

example of this is the production of ethanol<br />

from baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae).<br />

This is a biochemical means of preparing<br />

alcohol from sugar using yeast cells. The process<br />

is controlled and monitored by the CASSY-S<br />

module and the software CASSY Lab.<br />
