Answer:

6 types of bioreactors are as follow :-

1. Continuous Stirred Tank Bioreactors :

(Rustom disc, concave bladed, marine propeller etc.) are in use.

2.  Bubble Column Bioreactors:

The flow rate of the air/gas influences the performance factors —O2 transfer, mixing.

3.Airlift Bioreactors :

e.g., methanol production, waste water treatment, single-cell protein production

4. Fluidized Bed Bioreactors:

These bioreactors are suitable for use to carry out reactions involving fluid suspended biocatalysts such as immobilized enzymes, immobilized cells, and microbial flocs.

This enable good efficiency of bioprocessing

5. Packed Bed Bioreactors:

these bioreactors are preferred for bioprocessing technology involving product-inhibited reactions.

6.Photo-Bioreactors:

Certain important compounds are produced by employing photo-bioreactors e.g., p-carotene, asthaxanthin.
