Hello everyone,

today I started a fed-batch fermentation with E. colis. Shortly after the induction with IPTG I recognized an increase in pH (as the acid pump had to work to keep the pH at 7). Unfortunately, I just can't figure out the reason why this is happening. Another group is doing the same and their pH stays constantly an 7.

Has it something to do with dying bacteria and release of basic compounds?

Thanks in advance :)
