75th Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology (SIMB) Annual Meeting and Exhibition

75th Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology (SIMB) Annual Meeting and Exhibition is organized by Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology (SIMB) and will be held from Jul 27 - 30, 2025 at Hyatt Regency San Francisco, San Francisco, California, United States of America.

Description:
A one-of-a-kind opportunity for scientists to network and share ideas in the field of industrial microbiology and biotechnology.

The SIMB Annual Meeting program consists of nearly 30 symposia, special sessions, and poster sessions covering advances in biocatalysis, cell culture and fermentation, natural products, metabolic engineering, and environmental microbiomes.

Fermentation Basics Workshop: Sunday, July 27, 2025 | 8:00am – 3:30pm
Goal:
To gain a basic understanding of fermentation topics

Description:
This workshop will provide individuals with an introduction to fermentation concepts in industrial settings. The workshop will be broken into topical sections. Real life fermentation case studies to reinforce key topics will be included. The first section of the workshop will include topics on fermentor equipment and design including aspect ratios, agitator design, sparger design and sterilization of equipment and media. The second section will deal with actual operational issues of fermentation processes including media design considerations, foam control strategies, shear, mixing, aeration, and feeding methods. The workshop will finish with a section that covers issues involved in scaling up to production size fermentors.
