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:
