Tigran,
The culturing method you are referring to is called batch cascade
fermentation. Your collegues are correct in regards to fed-batch
fermentations- fresh medium is added (at a constant rate or step-rate
increased) until the working volume is reached (at which point the
fermentation becomes a continuous culture). There are also variations on the
classical cascade fermentation where fresh medium is added as in fed batch-
the fermentation is then called a fed-batch cascade fermentation.
I hope this information helps!
