Sterilization is defined as any process by which objects, materials or an environment may be rendered sterile (i.e. completely free from all forms of life). Sterilization is the process by which all living cells, viable spores, viruses and viroids are either destroyed or removed from an object or habitat. It is essential for all fermentation […]

Industrial MicrobiologyMicroorganisms are incubated in the incubator at different temperatures and time interval depending on the oxygen requirement of the organisms amongst other vital conditions required for optimum growth. Incubation technique is a microbiological procedure which is used to maintain microbial cultures of culture media at a particular ambient temperature at different time intervals. Microbial cultures

Sterile pharmaceutical products are defined as sensitive pharmaceutical products that should be free from living micro-organisms, pyrogens and unacceptable particulate matter including contaminants during and after their production. Parenteral products are typical examples of sterile pharmaceutical products; and they are radically different from other dosage form in terms of standards of purity and safety. Some pharmaceutical

Pharmaceutical MicrobiologyAutoclave is a piece of equipment that allows materials to be heat-sterilized under pressure and with a saturated steam. It is generally used to achieve sterilization of culture media and other reagents in the microbiology laboratory; and sterilization using the autoclave is achieved under pressure at various temperatures and time limit (e.g. 121oC for 15
Louis Pasteur, a French scientist was the first to report the role of microorganisms in fermentation in 1848. Though a trained chemist, Pasteur was also one of the first scientists to recognize the significance of optical isomers, and he emerged one of the greatest biologists of the 19th century. Louis Pasteur achieved distinction in organic
