Reactors - Bioreactor

A bioreactor, often also referred to as a fermenter, is a container in which certain microorganisms, cells or small plants are cultivated (also: fermented) under the best possible conditions. The operation of a bioreactor is thus an application of biotechnology that uses or harnesses biological processes (bioconversion, biocatalysis) in technical facilities. A wide variety of organisms are cultivated in bioreactors for different purposes. Therefore, several reactor variants are available in different designs.
