Question

How has the development of bioreactor helped in biotechnology

Answer 1

bioreactors help to mitigate Indies mass transfer limitation and provide a controlled micro environment of 3D content development

Answer 2

The development of bioreactors has helped in the advancement of biotechnology.

Biotechnology is a field which deals with obtaining substances and products which are necessary for humans by using microorganisms. Biotechnology has contributed to the food industry, agriculture, medicine, environment protection, energetics, and chemical industry.

Bioreactors provide a controlled environment for optimal growth of microbes. They are used for carrying out biochemical processes that employ microbes, mammalian cell systems, plant cells, or fungus for production of biological products.

Some advantages of bioreactors are:

1. Air lift bioreactors require less energy.

2. Heat and mass transfer is efficient in fluidized bed reactors

3. Immobilized cell bioreactors are useful for manufacture of intracellular enzymes.

4. In the hollow fiber membrane bioreactors the extracellular products can be separated from the cells at the same time.
