Continuous culture

Continuous culture is a method used in laboratories and industries to grow microorganisms, like bacteria or yeast, steadily over time. Instead of growing a batch of organisms, then stopping and starting anew, continuous culture involves continuously adding fresh nutrients and removing some of the old culture. This keeps the microbes in a steady state, allowing for constant production of desired substances, such as medications or biofuels. It’s like a perpetual cycle that maintains optimal growth conditions, providing consistent and efficient results while minimizing waste and downtime.
