Cyclic Pulse - Pause Feeding

Filamentous fungi are one of the workhorses for industrial microbiology, as

they are used for the commercial production of many different therapeutics,

commodity chemicals, and commercial enzymes. Despite extensive study,

there has been relatively little success in altering fungal morphology to

reduce broth viscosity in industrial-scale systems. In fact, the most common

approaches to reduce fungal broth viscosity have been to add water to

dilute the broth or to increase agitation to fragment the mycelia. Neither of

these methods have proven to be consistently effective.
