Penicillin is the Narrow spectrum antibiotic which only kills the specific bacteria or microorganisms and not the normal bacteria or microorganisms present in Human body, Separation is the first step in product recovery in downstream processing as it involves the separation of desired cells from the culture medium and which is mechanically done by Rotary Drum Filter.in this way human body is unaffected.Surge tanks also known as a Recycle tank which recycles facility so that water could be circulated through the system during cleaning and sterilization of the plant and helps to overcome the disturbances in unit start-up time or batch-batch variation which commonly arises in batch operation.Like all antibiotics, Penicillin is a secondary metabolite, so is only produced in the stationary phase as Bacteria produce secondary metabolite such as Antibiotics after the active stage (log phase) of the growth cycle.
