Microbe fermentation unit

Microbe fermentation unit for the production of hormones and enzymes for medical and industrial use. This is a method of solid state fermentation called tray or koji fermentation, where recombinant microbes are grown on solid substrates, such as bran, in incubator trays. Recombinant microbes have been genetically engineered to produce a drug or enzyme; for example the human hormone insulin, or enzymes for use in the food industry. After fermentation in these units, the microbes are separated from the product, which is then purified. Photographed in 2004 at Biocon, a biotechnology company in Bangalore, India

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a microbe fermentation unit, showcasing the fascinating process of producing hormones and enzymes for medical and industrial purposes. The method employed here is solid state fermentation, specifically tray or koji fermentation. In this technique, genetically modified microbes are cultivated on solid substrates like bran in incubator trays. The significance of this technology lies in its ability to engineer these recombinant microbes to produce valuable substances such as human hormone insulin or enzymes utilized in the food industry. After undergoing fermentation within these units, the microbes are carefully separated from the final product which then undergoes purification. Taken at Biocon, a renowned biotechnology company situated in Bangalore, India back in 2004; this image portrays an individual working diligently inside the facility while donning protective clothing and following strict hygiene protocols. The scene exudes professionalism and showcases cutting-edge technological advancements being made within the field of biology and medicine. With researchers, scientists, geneticists, microbiologists all collaborating under one roof alongside advanced equipment and sterile conditions; it is evident that immense dedication goes into ensuring health care breakthroughs through microbial research. This photograph serves as a testament to their tireless efforts towards advancing therapeutic medicine while adhering to stringent safety measures.
