Effects of enzyme volumetric productivity, bioreactor material, and cell clarification method on the final enzyme production cost. a Variation in enzyme cost with the final biomass concentration and the rEnzyme content (w/w). b Variation in enzyme cost with enzyme volumetric productivity. c Effect of bioreactor material on final enzyme production cost. Labels: SS316, stainless steel of grade 316; SS304, stainless steel of grade 304; and CS, carbon steel. d Comparison of downstream operations for cell debris separation and the impact of the final enzyme cost at three different process scales
