1. The document describes optimization of baker's yeast production in a bioreactor by studying the effect of media composition, impeller type, and scale of operation on cell growth.
2. It was found that a newly formulated SSDY media supported better growth than YPD media. A Rushton turbine impeller also provided higher cell density than a paddle impeller.
3. Cells were found to double faster in a bioreactor than in shake flasks, demonstrating the effect of increased scale of operation on growth kinetics.
