Researchers have also aimed to improve cultivation techniques using a high-biomass batch culturing technique.

Batch culture is the most common laboratory growth method in which bacterial growth is studied, but it is only one of many.
3.
In comparison to batch culture, bacteria are maintained in exponential growth phase, and the growth rate of the bacteria is known.
4.
To cultivate the mutant on a low concentration of the required nutrient, it is fed to the batch culture at a controlled rate.
5.
At such high concentrations, the nutrients become inhibitory, even though they have no such effect at the normal concentrations used in batch cultures.
6.
Generally speaking, fed-batch culture is superior to conventional batch culture when controlling concentrations of a nutrient ( or nutrients ) affect the yield or productivity of the desired metabolite.

This can also occur when the bacterium in a closed batch culture consumes most of its nutrients and is entering the stationary phase when new nutrients are suddenly added to the growth media.

While growing these bacteria on various combination of sugars during his doctoral thesis research, Monod observed that often two distinct growth phases are clearly visible in batch culture, as seen in Figure 1.

The " Penicillium " cells are grown using a technique called fed-batch culture, in which the cells are constantly subject to stress, which is required for induction of penicillin production.
