Bioreactors Factors Controlled Include Temp Low Slow Growth

Front factors that need to be controlled in bioreactors
Back
factors that need to be controlled include;
  • temp (low, slow growth, too high, enzymes denature, maintain optimum temps using negative feedback system)
  • nutrients and O2 (can be added when levels low)
  • mixing things up (mixing mechanism ensures right temp, all microorganisms receive enough O2/food and prevents the large volume of liquids in bioreactors getting too thick/viscous due to growth of microorganisms)
  • asepsis (contamination affects yield, so bioreactors sealed and aseptic)
