- Conduct biomass/yield analysis through gravimetric or spectrophotometric methods.
- Perform MLT for raw materials, in-process samples, and final products.
- Analyze purified water, RO water, and microbiological quality of water samples.
- Maintain detailed records of test procedures, observations, and results.
- Ensure proper aseptic handling, sterilization, and biosafety measures.
Qualifications:
- Education: M.Sc. in Microbiology (mandatory)
- Experience: 2–5 years of relevant lab experience in fermentation, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or food industries.
Key Skills:
- Strong knowledge of microbiological techniques and strain maintenance.
- Experience in handling secondary metabolites fermentation processes and yield analysis.
- Expertise in lab equipment calibration and troubleshooting.
- Familiarity with water analysis, MLT, and standard microbiological testing.
- Good documentation and observation skills; ability to follow SOPs.
- Basic understanding of GLP/GMP and laboratory safety norms.
Preferred Experience
- Exposure to downstream processing (e.g., centrifugation, filtration).
- Experience in cosmetic ingredient fermentation or biopolymer production.
- Knowledge of microbial screening and strain improvement techniques.
