Fermentation Lab
The Roger Kornberg lab currently maintains a 200-liter fermenter,
a 14-liter fermenter and two continuous flow centrifuges in the
fermentation lab. The 200-liter fermenter is primarily used to grow
yeast for our biochemical and structural studies. The 14-liter fermenter
is used to grow smaller amounts of yeast or for high-density cultures
of bacteria. Use of either fermenter is by appointment only. We
do charge a fee to cover our maintainance costs and the cost of
our tech's time. Anyone interested in learning more should contact:
