One way to reduce shear stress is to culture those microorganisms in fermenters equipped with large-diameter impellers or multiple impellers while maintaining adequate dissolved oxygen levels at low agitation speed. In small-scale fermentation vessels, rapid mixing of culture broth creates a homogeneous environment in which nutrient concentration, dissolved oxygen, and shear are identical throughout the vessel. In large fermenters, however, a homogeneous environment is difficult to attain, especially when dealing with viscous cultures of filamentous microorganisms.
