Abstract: Semi-continuous fermentation technology is a typical operational model. In this article, we first introduced the application areas of semi-continuous fermentation, and then reviewed the classification and features of semi-continuous fermentation, its relation to continuous fermentation, and the cell recycling methods during cultivation. Finally, the prospects of semi-continuous fermentation technology were also discussed according to the recent progress on metabolic engineering and process optimization.

Key words: semi-continuous fermentation, research progress, application area, prospects
