C)packaging.
D)growth of the microorganism.
E)All of these choices are correct.

Accepted Answer

Downstream processing involves the recovery and purification of the desired product from the microorganism or other source. It also includes packaging for distribution. However, it does not involve the growth of the microorganism, which is part of upstream processing. Therefore, option D is the correct answer as it is not a part of downstream processing.
