The production of an amylase from starch by Aspergillus niger is often performed in a fed batch fermenter. This is due to the reason that
A:
fed-batch reactor can be used to minimize starch concentrations and prevent a. niger from fermenting
B:
fed-batch reactor can be used to minimize starch concentrations and thus reduce the viscosity of the medium

continuous reactor can be used to minimize starch concentrations and their inhibitory effects
D:
all of the above
