Working of a Bioreactor: A Mini Review

Abstract

This mini review is directed towards accumulating advances in bioreactor and bioprocess design in growing microorganism for various purposes. The state-of-the art of bioreactor configuration and operation is discussed. Briefly, four different bioreactor operation techniques i.e. batch cultivation, continuous culture enhancement; fed-batch cultivation and continuous culture with complete cell recycle technique have been discussed. Limitations and constraints of these operation techniques are also emphasized.
