Question

which of the following is an upstream process? a. Product recovery b. Product purification c. Media formulation d. Cell lysis​

Answer 1

Explanation:

which of the following is an upstream process?

a. Product recovery

b. Product purification √

c. Media formulation

d. Cell lysis

Answer 2

The right option for the given question is option c: Media formulation.

• The Upstream Process is a bioprocess that occurs at the start of the fermentation process.
• Before the fermentation process begins, the needed microbes are chosen, which is referred to as media formulation, and the medium is also optimized for the right conditions.
• This is a step in the upstream procedure.
• The product is recovered and purified at the end of the fermentation process, which is referred to as the downstream phase.
• Hence, media formulation is a step in the upstream process.
