In this paper, the authors focus on the application, development, and practical considerations of fermentations in chemically defined media in an industrial environment and present a review of the application and process economics of such media.
Abstract
The use of chemically defined media is gaining popularity in some commercial fermentations, particularly for the preparation of biological products. Although these media are still not frequently developed for industrial processes, they do exhibit favorable characteristics at large scale that are not observed with traditional complex media. This review focuses on the application, development, and practical considerations, especially process economics, of fermentations in chemically defined media in an industrial environment.

Review of xanthan gum production from unmodified starches by Xanthomonas comprestris sp.

TL;DR: In this paper, the unstructured kinetics and the structured kinetics models were described in batch processes but the continuous kinetic model is insufficiently cared, and the problem of limited oxygen transfer suggests that a new bioreactor design is required.
