Continuous Culture : To get a continuous supply of microbial growth, continuous culture is used. The growth medium is designed in such a way that one of the nutrients is in limited quantity. Nutrients are continually added to the bioreactor and spent culture broth is removed at the same time. This culture helps to obtain stable product quality and higher productivity per unit volume, so this technique is widely used for production of both microbial biomass as well as their metabolites.

Microbial cultures have immense potential for production of very useful compounds. These cultures can be exploited mainly to produce different metabolites which include enzymes, steroids, antibiotics, therapeutic proteins, microbial leaching, biodegradable waste treatment, etc.
