Biotechnology : Principles And Processes

Question
CBSEENBI12002118

How has the development of bioreactor helped in biotechnology?

Solution

Small volume cultures cannot yield appreciable quantities of products. To produce in large quantities, the development of bioreactors, where large volumes (100-100 litres) of culture can be processed, was required. Thus, bioreactors can be thought of as vessels in which raw material are biologically converted into specific products, individual enzymes, etc., using the microbial plant, animal or human cells.
