IPTG is an expensive analog of lactose. If you are cultivating at scale, using lactose is much more cost effective from my understanding. IPTG is handier for small scale stuff since it's more stable as it isn't metabolized by E. coli.

Hey guys,Does anyone know how inducers are used in a pilot plant, or if they are used at all? Let's say I have an E. coli with an inducible promoter, for example, ParaBAD or Plac, In a pilot plant it would be required a large amount of Arabinose or IPTG. Is it economically viable? Does it work?Thanks!
